Sophomore pole vaulter John McDonald was arrested on suspicion of aggravated battery and released on a $10,000 bond in connection with the beating of Kelly, a teammate of McDonalds, about 3:15 a.m. Oct. 28. The district attorey has not formally brought charges against him. McDonald will make his first appearance in Douglas County District Court on Friday. At least one other person has been arrested in connection with the case. Forest Park, Ill., sophomore Greg Krupa was also arrested and charged with aggravated battery in connec- tion with the incident and was later released on a $3,000 bond. An Athletics Department admin- istrator said two other members of the track team had been suspend- ed in connection with the incident. Freshman pole vaulter Jordan Scott and sophomore pole vaulter Ryan Hayes have been suspended, the administrator said. It has not been confirmed whether they were arrest- ed. According to the police report, Kelly was attacked by five men out- side his home in the 4700 block of Ranch Court. The fifth person is not yet known, but the police report said he was likely unknown to Kelly. Kelly was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital following the attack to receive treatment for a con- cussion and other injuries sustained during the fight. He had surgery to repair a broken cheekbone Nov. 8. His head and face are still swollen, said his father, Albert Kelly. He lost a lot of blood, Albert said. He could have died. Tyler was found outside his home by his roommate Tyson Willoughby, 2006 graduate. Willoughby didnt witness the attack, but was asleep at the time and spoke with police when they arrived. By BEn smith With hands chalked to prevent the bars from slipping, Manrique Cartin, San Jose, Costa Rica, senior, hefted the weights on the life fitness cable machine in the Student Recreation and Fitness Center Tuesday after- noon. I like to work out, Cartin said. It relieves stress and I like the healthy feeling. Dedicating four days a week to lifting weights and the other two to cardio work-outs, Cartin is rap- idly pointed out by staff as one of the dozen or more regulars who is always at the center. I used to do the cardio stuff out- side but now that its gotten so cold I just do it here, Cartin said. David Creed, cardio and resis- tance training specialist and center employee, pointed to several people he said he spotted as often as twice daily. Theres a certain number you cant miss, said Creed, Olathe senior. Allison Maher, Tulsa, Okla., senior, has worked out in the center twice a day as often as four days a week. I began training for a marathon, Maher said. Then I injured myself and had to cut back. Though Creed was hard-pressed to come up with names, he was able to point out a lot of the regulars on sight, Maher was simply the girl with the tan. Creed said most of what he called the hard-cores showed up between 4 and 5 p.m. to lift weights and bypass the crowds. Creed, a regular at the center him- self, said he thought some people were a little too extreme. Everybodys body is different, he said, though working out too much could actu- ally hinder some people instead of help them. The people who come in twice a day arent giving themselves enough rest, Creed said. Some people feel that if they dont see results the solu- tion is to work out more and more. Creed said that he thought it was bad to lift weights more than four Lisa Lipovac/KaNSaN Mike Piechna, arlington Heights, Ill., senior, lifts at the Student Recreation and Fitness Center onWednesday afternoon.

Performance agreements are required of all Kansas Regents schools as a way of measuring the success of certain initiatives and monitoring the quality of educa- tion at the University. The state leg- islature uses the agreements when determining how much state fund- ing each school will receive. Board member Janice DeBauge said compliance with the agreements was important because it pre- vented state and national govern- ments from try- ing to impose their own mea- sures for an insti- tutions success. If the University is able to effectively show improve- ment, govern- ments arent inclined to impose policies on the University. We hope that we can continue to declare these as saying we can self- police, DeBauge said. DeBauge said this was the first year each of the 37 monitored schools were recommended for full funding. Christine Downey-Schmidt, vice chair of the Board, said the goals submitted by the schools continued to improve each year. Institutions are not just picking things that look good on paper, but things that they should be doing anyway, Downey-Schmidt said. Chancellor Robert Hemenway said the agreements were useful in fostering good relations between the schools and the legislature and ben- eficial to the schools themselves. I think any time youre focus- ing on qualitative improvements, its good for the institution, Hemenway said. The new agreement is notable for the University because it is the first time the school will be judged dur- ing a three-year period rather than by an annual report. The states other research univer- sities, including Kansas State and Wichita State, also switched to three-year per- formance agree- ments. Donna Shank, Board of Regents A c a d e m i c Affairs chair- woman, said this would enable the schools on the three-year plan to examine more in-depth issues and provide a clearer picture of what they were doing. She also said expec- tations for those schools would be higher. kansan staf writer danny luppi- no can be contacted at dluppino@ kansan.com.

Each one of the songs struck me and inspired me individually and for different reasons, he said. Corry came to Kansas for a week to work with the dancers for his piece. It was a wonderful week of teaching and working on these pieces and putting them together, he said.

ODD NEWS Runaway turkey causes traf c jam on NY bridge NEW YORK Perhaps at- tempting to escape a Thanksgiv- ing Day fate, a small wild turkey made a dash for the big city. The 10-pound female bird wandered onto a busy bridges toll plaza Tuesday afternoon, halt- ing traf c for about 15 minutes as workers chased the fowl. No one knew how the turkey got onto the Triborough Bridge. City of cials received a call that there was a loose bird just before the start of the evening rush hour, and six of cers chased it around the Manhattan toll plaza. Watching it unfold on our cameras, it seemed the only thing missing was someone playing Turkey in the Straw, said Triborough Bridge General Operations Manager Ray Bush. The frightened turkey skit- tered back and forth across the plaza, evading capture for 15 minutes. Bridge of cers fnally cornered it, and a construction worker snatched it. The turkey was released into a wooded area on nearby Wards Island. Associated Press news 3A thursday, November 16, 2006 S t u d e n t S e n a t e Interested in the political process?

With Dr. DARRYL HART author & church historian By Matt EldEr While many students shun the idea of adding more responsibility to their academic workloads, two KU students have welcomed real estate ownership as an investment during college. Jesse Conrad, Libertyville, Ill., junior, co-owns his house at 901 West 22nd St. with his father. Conrad began looking at houses in Lawrence for investment prop- erty while he lived in McCollum Hall during his freshman year. After sending pictures and information to his father in Libertyville for approv- al, Conrad made the decision to purchase his house located near Alabama Street. I pretty much did all the work except pay for it, Conrad said. I didnt have the credit to buy it just under my name and now Ill have a better credit score when I get out of school. Conrad has been able to pay the majority of his mortgage pay- ment during the past year and a half by charging his roommates rent. When he graduates from the University, Conrad will sell the house. Ultimately, Conrad could have lived in Lawrence after his freshman year for free. Anything you can save liv- ing out-of-state obviously helps, Conrad said. In the long run thats the plan. The investment property Jason Flohrs family purchased at 1812 Maine St. came with a greater responsibility. Flohrs, Overland Park senior, spent more than three months renovating his one-bedroom, one- bathroom home on Maine Street that was built in 1906. Flohrs was forced to live in the front half of his house while the back was gutted during the renovation. For the first month I was there I didnt have cold water, Flohrs said. My kitchen sink was my bathroom sink and bathtub, like half a step above roughing it here. The house has been expanded to include three new bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen and a laundry room after more than $40,000 in renovations. Flohrs has since moved else- where in Lawrence, but his sister Jennifer is living in the renovated house with two roommates. The family originally purchased the house using college funds saved for both Jason and Jennifer, and their father paid the remaining amount. The Flohrses plan to sell the house in August 2008 and expect to make a profit. The good news for Flohrs is that a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home a few doors down recently sold for $175,000. He hopes the renovations and the houses location near campus will help it sell for a larger amount. If the Flohrs house were to sell for the same amount, the family would split $40,000 in profit after renova- tion costs. But playing landlord doesnt come without worries for students invest- ing in real estate properties. Conrad said collecting rent checks from friends or roommates who have become friends can be rough. He also said he had to be more careful with college guests, as the owner of the home, than if he had been renting a home. We try to keep track of who were inviting and letting in, Conrad said, especially people I dont know or trust. But for Marcus Walker, Hays junior and Conrads roommate, the personal relationship with his land- lord has offered several otherwise unavailable amenities. Jessie e-mails my dad at the end of every month with the bill, and reminds him about the payment, Walker said. That way we havent run into any problems.

Edited by Derek Korte By CourtnEy HagEn Alicia Lopez has had the oppor- tunity to experience a wide range of social and cultural events as a member of the University of Kansas Multicultural Scholars Program. Its definitely opened me up to more experiences that I probably wouldnt have had otherwise, Lopez, St. Louis senior, said. Its network- ing and meet- ing people on campus like speakers the average student wouldnt have the ability to meet with. Now these opportunities will be available to more students across the state, thanks to a $515,157 grant the KU Multicultural Scholars Program just received from the Department of Education. With the money, the program will begin research and preliminary work that would help community colleges begin similar programs at their own schools. The money will also pay to establish these programs. Renate Mai-Dalton, KU Multicultural Scholars Program director and founder, said the rep- lication program would begin in Kansas City Kansas Community College, Colby Community College and Donelly College in Kansas City, Kan. More community col- leges could be on the way. Mai-Dalton said the programs would help community colleges make their students successful so they would be ready to transfer to four-year universities. She said the KU program would begin gathering data and informa- tion from itself and would meet with the community colleges next semester. The first pilot programs are slated to run in fall 2007. The programs would follow much of the Universitys model, which pairs student participants with faculty mentors in their areas of study. Participants meet with their mentors a few times per semester and attend m o n t h l y m e e t i n g s and cultural activities with other members of the program. Marcus Roque, Overland Park junior, has participated in the KU Multicultural Scholars Program since his freshman year. Roque said the program was a valuable support and mentorship tool for him during his first few years at the University and he said it could be valuable to a community college environment as well. I think it would be great, Roque said. I know I have a lot of friends at Johnson County Community College and it just doesnt seem like there is much social and sup- port activities at community col- leges like that to allow opportuni- ties like this.

Simpson created an uproar Wednesday with plans for a TV interview and book titled If I Did It an account the publisher pronounced his con- fession and media executives con- demned as revolting and exploitive. Fox, which plans to air an inter- view with Simpson Nov. 27 and 29, said Simpson describes how he would have committed the 1994 slayings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman, if he were the one responsible. Denise Brown, sister of Simpsons slain ex-wife, lashed out at pub- lisher Judith Regan of ReganBooks for promoting the wrongdoing of criminals and commercializing abuse. The book goes on sale Nov. 30. She added: Its unfortunate that Simpson has decided to awaken a nightmare that we have painfully endured and worked so hard to move beyond. Regan refused to say what Simpson is being paid for the book but said he came to her with the idea. This is an historic case, and I consider this his confession, Regan told The Associated Press. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of murder after a trial that became an instant cultural flashpoint and a source of racial tension.

Marcus roQue overland Park junior NEWS 4A thursday, november 16, 2006 times a week and that alternating the muscles worked so that the same area wasnt worked more than twice a week was a good plan. If you want a body thats func- tional for athletics you shouldnt overtrain. You exhaust yourself and you lose just as much muscle as you might gain, Creed said. Andrea Hudy, associate direc- tor of strength conditioning for the Athletics Department, said that while it was possible to overtrain and experience symptoms such as fatigue, lack of appetite or sleep, she thought a majority of students wouldnt face such a problem if they varied the volume and intensity of their workouts. In general, if someone is going to come back two to three times a day, they can change the intensity of their workout while balancing their bodys needs, Hudy said. As Creed leaned against the staff desk surveying the many people on various machines running, lifting and sweating through the afternoon, he said he had been guilty of similar behavior his freshman year: lifting weights daily with his roommate until he got wise and changed his routine. Diet and rest are the most important things, Creed said. Most people in college dont get enough rest as it is. Kansan staf writer Ben Smith can be contacted at bsmith@kansan. com.

Hours before entering federal prison Wednesday, lobbyist Jack Abramoff sent friends an e-mail lamenting this nightmare politi- cal scandal and predicting things were about to get worse but still looking optimistically to the future. Abramoff, who parlayed cam- paign donations and expensive gifts into political influence from Congress to the White House, reported to a Maryland prison where he will earn no more than 40 cents an hour for assigned jobs. Shortly before dawn, he sent an e-mail to friends thanking them for standing by him. He then set out for prison, leaving behind a city shaken by his scandal. A con- gressman has admitted corruption, a Bush administration official was convicted of lying, Republicans were driven from office and sev- eral aides have pleaded guilty. This nightmare has gone on for almost three years so far and I expect we are not even half way through, Abramoff wrote. He will serve a six-year sentence for a fraudulent Florida casino deal. He is also awaiting sentencing in a Capitol Hill public corruption case in which he also is the star witness. Unfortunately, things are going to get worse (starting today no doubt) before they get better, but I am confident that ultimately the turmoil will subside and we will have our lives back, Abramoff wrote. The message, described by Abramoff as my last e-mail for a while, was provided to The Associated Press by one his cor- respondents, who asked to remain anonymous. Abramoff, inmate No. 27593-112, was delivered to prison out of sight of reporters and camera crews. He will be held at a 334-bed, minimum- security prison camp. From prison, Abramoff is to con- tinue cooperating with the Justice Department, helping explain how he manipulated government decisions and who else was involved. The case has already led to the conviction of former Bush administration official David Safavian and guilty pleas from former Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, and several congressional aides. Like all federal prisoners, Abramoff will be required to have a prison job. Unlike his previous work, which involved chartering jets for exotic golf excursions, he will earn between 12 cents and 40 cents an hour. New inmates typically start in lower-paying food service jobs and move up to more desirable jobs, said Stephen Finger, the prisons executive assistant. Abramoff will share a dorm with five inmates, many of whom are drug offenders, Finger added. ASSoCIAteD PreSS Jack Abramofreported to prison in western Maryland, Wednesday.

Schmidt, Gabriella Souza, Frank Tankard, Dave Ruigh, Steve Lynn, McKay Stangler and Louis Mora Last week, the post offices were closed and government buildings shut down while many Americans paid tribute to our men and women in the armed forces on Veterans Day. Yet students and faculty, some of whom are veterans themselves, had to go to class on Friday because the University does not give students the day off. The University paid tribute to our veterans on Saturday but failed to observe the fed- eral holiday on Friday. Its time the Kansas Board of Education look at observing federal holi- days such as Veterans Day and Presidents Day. Not only could students use more three-day breaks, but its also important to remember the meanings behind these holidays, especial- ly Veterans Day. Heres a suggestion for the decision makers: Look at the Universitys ridiculously long winter break. Students cant wait to get back on campus after more than a month away from school. Instead of giving stu- dents 34 days for break, lets substitute a couple of these day to observe the federal holidays. We already observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and much like the events that remember this powerful leader, we too should remember our nations veterans and those in active ser- vice. A University that contin- ues to remember its veterans with such iconic structures as the Campanile, which is dedi- cated to World War II veterans, and Memorial Stadium, which is dedicated to World War I vet- erans, should take time out to remember our fellow Jayhawks who made the ultimate sacri- fice. Louis Mora for the editorial board. That was me wearing the K-State gear at the KU-Oklahoma State football game a few weeks ago, the lone K-Stater in the entire stadium. My girlfriend is a proud KU fan, and yes, she wanted me to wear something blue or red. Sorry, but I cant do that. I am not a bad person. You may not know it, but Im a KU grad with a masters degree in health services administration. My son and I lived at Stauffer Place. I joined the KU Marching Band, but backed out because the Saturday morning rehearsals meant I would not get to see him play soccer. We attended church at the St. Lawrence Center, where my son was one of the altar boys for the first mass. I worked part-time at McDonalds my first year (not so much fun), and during my final year I worked at SUA (a lot of fun). Yes, we were very happy when the University won the NCAA mens basketball championship the year after I graduated. My son (sorry, another K-State grad) and I have a lot of good memories of KU. Youre our No. 2 school, but only because K-State gave us great memories before our time with you even existed. This weekend I will be one of the many purple K-State fans in the sta- dium. Some of us will have ties to KU or Lawrence, but hey, we sup- port K-State. Life is rough. I know that rivalry between the two schools is good, and I know well see a great game. Its what makes college foot- ball Saturdays great. Ed Gonzales, Alum Overland Park, KS Watching Friday Night Lights for probably the 100th time, I realized high school sports are probably the last pure form of athletics left in this country. Going to big-time sporting events in the new millennium means dealing with new problems. It means paying an increasing amount of money for tickets and concessions. It means dealing with traffic to and from the venue. Worst of all, it also means being subjected to obscenities and occasional vio- lence, mostly because of alcohol. Professional franchises and colleges alike have attempted to regulate inappropriate fan behavior at games. Just this year, accord- ing to the Boston Globe, Boston University made it illegal for fans to curse, or make sexist or racist comments at its hockey, soccer and basketball games. If fans do so, they will be ejected from the arena. If the fans continue the behavior at future games, they will be permanently banned. Sadly, games are no longer for families. Not only is it not feasible financially for an entire family to attend its favorite teams games, with the average ticket in the National Football League costing nearly $60 in 2005, but it also is not smart. I do not plan to take my children to major sporting events because I can only imagine what they will repeat on the way home. The days of chanting Go team are gone, and the practice of yelling obscenities at the opposition is now the norm. The University of Maryland, among other public universities, has attempted to regulate obscenities as well, but has had little success elimi- nating them. In 2001, Maryland stu- dents threw water bottles, batteries and other objects at fans and par- ents of the Duke University mens basketball team. The actions caused injuries to numerous Duke fans and resulted in formal apologies from Marylands president and mens bas- ketball coach. Maryland is a school of more than 30,000 students, but the action of just a few embarrassed the alumni and the other students who did not play a part in the situation. According to Athletics Director Debbie Yow, the actions were wit- nessed on television, as were audible sounds of students chanting F--- Duke. The fans at Maryland sub- jected innocent spectators and tele- vision viewers to offensive behavior. The cursing and barbaric behav- ior now seems part of the game and is embraced by fans. The student section at Allen Fieldhouse is con- sidered one of the loudest and most respected in the country, but the walls of the venue often reverberate with the chant of bulls--t after a referees call clashes with student opinion. With alcohol often consumed by fans before college games, and at professional events during, it is likely the largest contributing factor to violence and obscenities. Despite this, there is no way that profes- sional stadiums are going to stop serving it. Why would they, when they can charge six, seven or eight dollars for a drink, knowing that drunken patrons will pay it? They have a financial incentive to make alcohol available for purchase. Fights between opposing fans are commonplace at NFL games, both in the stadium and in the parking lot. When excessive amounts of alcohol are present and consumed by fan for hours at a time, before, during and after a sporting event, it is bound to cause problems. The violence and obscenities need to stop. Alcohol needs to be regulated inside arenas. No longer should alcohol be sold until the end of the third quarter at NFL games. Last season, according to NFL.com, the New York Jets did not serve alcohol during a Monday night game against the New England Patriots. This came nearly a month after a man was stabbed in a rest room and a police officer broke his leg attempting to quell a drunken fight. The ban helped make specta- tors safer, and those fans were likely subjected to fewer obscenities Attending sporting events as a child gave me some of my fondest memories. However, in the past few years, it has become increasingly offensive and oftentimes disgusting to witness. Things need to change. Fans need to understand the mes- sage they are sending to children and the violence that they are caus- ing. Until that happens, the cursing and violence will continue to be a part of the game, and high school athletics will be the only events that are pure.

Kansas had a negative hitting effi- ciency in the first two games, -.118 and -.034, and hit just .167 in the final game. For the match, it was a season- low .010. We keep getting back to that E word: execution, coach Ray Bechard said. He said the team had shown the effort, but at this point in the season, execution was more important than effort. Baylor swept Kansas at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas by scores of 30-15, 30-18 and 30-24. With the loss, the Jayhawks, who have lost their last seven, fall to 10-16 overall and 3-14 Big 12, while the Bears improve to 18-12 and 6-11. The Jayhawks swept the Bears ear- lier this season, but Kansas was short- handed last night, because Emily Brown, junior right side hitter, did not play. Brown injured her foot on Monday during practice. She started all 86 previous games of her career matches at Kansas. Bechard said Brown was day-to-day and the team was hopeful she would be ready for Saturdays match against Missouri. Bechard said he had to reshuffle the lineup because of Browns injury. That impacted everything we had to do, he said. Its about the tenth different lineup this season. Brown, a team captain, has been the second-leading player in kills, behind Jana Correa, senior outside hitter. Correa, who has been the Jayhawks offensive leader all season, could not get anything going against a stiff Baylor defense. She had six kills with 11 errors in the match. The Jayhawks committed 26 errors with just 27 kills. By comparison, the Bears had 11 errors with 45 kills. The Bears also out-blocked the Jayhawks, 10-2. The Jayhawks have yet to win a conference game on the road this season. They have one opportunity left against Kansas State on Nov. 25. The Jayhawks defeated the Wildcats earlier this season in Lawrence. Baylor used a six-point run to take an 11-6 advantage during the first game. The Jayhawks committed a team-high 11 errors with just seven kills, and the Bears ran away with the first game by 15. In game two, the Bears went on an eight-point run to lead Kansas 22-10. Baylor stayed on a roll as they took the game by 12. The Bears had a match-high .467 hitting efficiency with 17 kills and three errors. Down by two games, Kansas did not give up in game three. Trailing by seven, 21-14, the Jayhawks battled back to a two-point deficit, 25-23. Baylor, though, was too much to han- dle for Kansas late in the game. Baylor won by six. Although the team has struggled, Bechard said the team should be motivated for the final three match- es against Missouri (15-11, 9-8), Nebraska (24-1, 16-1) and Kansas State (10-17, 2-15). Playing at Kansas, I cant think of three teams youd rather face, he said. The Jayhawks take on the Tigers at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Kansas and Missouri are currently tied, 4-4, in the 2006-07 Border Showdown, which spans all sports. Kansan sportswriter Drew Davison can be contacted at ddavison@ kansan.com.

PEOPLE Rock band wins lawsuit against former stylist LONDON Irish rock band U2 has emerged victorious in a court battle with a former stylist it claimed had taken important memorabilia without permission nearly two de- cades ago. Lola Cashman had told Dublins High Court that U2 frontman Bono had given her several items as gifts during U2s Joshua Tree tour in 1987. An iconic Stetson hat, a pair of metal earrings, a green sweat shirt and a pair of black trousers were among the disputed items Cash- man claimed she had been given. But after a protracted legal dis- pute that saw Bono take the wit- ness box, judge Michael Peart ruled Wednesday that on the balance of probability, the items had not been given to Cashman as she had claimed. The bands lawyer, Paul Sreenan, said U2 would not pursue costs against Cashman for the appeal or for an earlier circuit court action she lost last year. A lower Irish District Court ruling last year ordered her to return all the items to the band. U2 fled the lawsuit after Cash- man tried to sell the clothes and photos at a London auction house in 2002. She also angered the band with her 2004 book, Inside the Zoo With U2: My Life With the Worlds Biggest Rock Band. Associated Press ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Naomi Campbell returned to court again as her law- yer and a Manhattan prosecutor tried unsuccessfully to cut a deal on charges that she threw a cell phone at her maid over a pair of missing jeans. Were still in the process of work- ing out a possible disposition, said Assistant District Attorney Shanda Strain at a short hearing Wednesday for the 36-year-old supermodel. Campbell is due back in court Jan. 16. Her lawyer, David Breitbart, said he was considering a plea offer from the Manhattan district attorneys office but declined to provide details. Campbell, who didnt speak with reporters after the hearing, showed up for court in a form-fitting dark gray dress and a black cloth jacket, with 3-inch heels. Breitbart told reporters Campbell hoped to reach an agreement that would only require community ser- vice. The British catwalker could face up to seven years in prison and deportation if convicted on the assault charge. The defense attorney also said he didnt want Campbell in a situa- tion like 80s pop star Boy George, who was followed by reporters when he did community service for the Sanitation Department earlier this year. Campbell was accused of hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with a cell phone in the models Manhattan apartment. Scolavino was treated for a head injury after the incident. On Tuesday, Campbell was sued by another former maid who says the model assaulted her while call- ing her a dumb Romanian. The lawsuit by Gaby Gibson calls Campbell a violent super-bigot. Gibson, who worked for Campbell from November 2005 though January 2006, says Campbell hit her, called her names and threatened to charge her with theft after being unable to find a pair of designer jeans. Im so frustrated that a lawyer would use terms like that, Breitbart said about the bigot remark. I thought we learned in law school not to call people names. PEOPLE Supermodel heads back to court SPORTS 9A THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2006 the early part of this decade, but in the past two seasons the games have been close and both schools have come away with one victory. Chelsea Bachman, Overland Park junior, attended Kansas State her freshman year before transferring to Kansas. She grew up a Wildcat fan because her dad went to K-State and had season tickets throughout her childhood. She said the rivalry meant a lot to both schools but, because of the recent success of K- States football program, she said a victory for Kansas fans would mean more. A win is expected there she said. Its annoying. The interest at both schools is high for Saturdays match-up. Less than 500 tickets remained as of Wednesday afternoon. Plenty of purple will dot Memorial Stadium Saturday. K-State took its full allot- ment of 3,800 tickets, the first visit- ing school to take the maximum number of tickets this season for a Kansas home game. It is good for football fans in the state of Kansas who have wanted this game to mean something for a long time, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said. Now, its a game that has water-cooler chatter about it. People in the street are talking about it. I think it is a good, healthy rivalry. Kansan staf writer C.J.

RIVALRY (CONTINUED FROM 12A) Green was just shy of a triple- double with 20 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. Any NBA scout would tell you Caleb Green was the best player in the game, said Kansas coach Bill Self. Vealy, who was 1-for-13 from three-point range in his career coming into the game, went off, nailing seven of eight three-point attempts on his way to a 22-point night. We knew No. 10 was good, but we didnt know he was that good, Robinson said. If youd told us before the game that hed go 7-for-8 from three, we probably would have laughed, but he did. Perhaps most troubling for the Jayhawks was that no key players stepped up and put the team on his shoulders. Sophomore guard Brandon Rush, who led Kansas to victory in its season opener, could never get on track. He didnt score his first point of the game until he sank a free throw at the 5:07 mark in the first half and didnt make his first field goal until the 4:32 mark. He tried to get himself going, but ended the night shooting 5- for-14. S ophomor e forward Julian Wright grabbed 12 rebounds, but was careless with the ball, appear- ing to be forcing shots and passes. His six points were matched by six turnovers and he shot 3-for-10 from the field. Rush never got into the game, Self said. And Julian never got into the game. His stats say he got rebounds, but he never got into the game. Overshadowed in the loss was a stellar performance by freshman for- ward Darrell Arthur. Coming off the bench, he played beyond his years. Arthur led the Jayhawks in scoring with 22 and rebounded five times. With so few bright spots, the most the Jayhawks can do is learn from this game and, perhaps, learn to pay heed to their coachs warn- ings. This team needs to climb a mountain. It cant start there, Self said. Its not mature, hungry and tough enough yet. They need to climb it. Now theres no ques- tion that it will be more of a climb now since we got our butts kicked today. Kansan sportswriter Shawn Shroyer can be contacted at sshroyer@kansan.com. Edited by Natalie Johnson BY RYAN SCHNEIDER Caleb Green dreamed of playing at Allen Fieldhouse, but he had no idea it would turn out like this. Theres no way he could have imagined the biggest victory in school history, a 78-71 upset of No. 3 Kansas. I told him a while ago, back when Wayne Simien was here, Green said about Oral Roberts coach Scott Sutton. I said I just thought itd be nice to come play those guys. Oh man, this is a big win for the University. It certainly is. While Green, who is ranked among the nations top power for- wards, was expected to do some damage because of Kansas lack of depth in the paint, Marchello Vealys performance surprised even Sutton. Entering the game, Vealy had made just one three pointer in his career and had a career-high of just 12 points. Those records were destroyed Wednesday night. Vealy finished with 22 points, including a 7-of-8 performance from the three point line. I wasnt paying attention, he said. I was just shooting the ball. Every time I caught it, they all kept telling me to shoot. He did. And Vealy shot lights-out all night. In the scouting report, we went over that he was a good shooter, but we did not think he was a shooter like that, Kansas Brandon Rush said. One of the keys for Vealy was the fact that he was wide open for most of the night. With the Jayhawks defense concerned with stopping Green, Vealy was left open on the wing. Kansas double teamed Green on most plays, but he found ways to escape the defense and get open outside. The 6-foot-8 Green nailed two three pointers, tying his career high. Green had his best night of the young season, finishing with 20 points, including 11 points in the second half. Caleb was unbelievable, Sutton said. He was terrific. He was forced to face double teams and go against big strong guys. He had some great shots, but I thought his passing was unbelievable as well. Green had his way in the paint without forward Sasha Kaun in the lineup because of a knee injury. Kansas struggled to contain Green, especially in the second half when Green nailed several turnaround shots. In pregame warm-ups and in the moments before the opening tip-off, Vealy admitted to being nervous. The big crowd and large arena were like nothing hed experienced before. But that didnt matter Wednesday night. We wanted to come out and shock the world, Vealy said. And we did it. Kansan senior sportswriter Ryan Schneider can be contacted at rschneider@kansan.com.

Jacque Vaughn, former Jayhawk and one of my all- time favorite basketball players, was one of the guest athletes. As Vaughn asked the contestants questions about Kansas basketball, it brought me back to the mid 90s, when players like Vaughn finished opponents on the court then hur- ried home to finish their Calculus homework. Too bad its not like that anymore. Those days have disappeared like CJ Giles from an English class. The Giles situation is the latest and worst example of misbehavior in the Kansas basketball program. He arrived as a sure-fire NBA prospect, but by the time he was dismissed last Tuesday, his list of offenses left him a wrecked ATV and a couple of shakin crackers short of being Ricky Clemons. In a little more than two years, Giles missed class and his child- support payments, scored a basket for the other team, landed a few punches at the Moon Bar, stole the Lindbergh baby and planned to make a third Deuce Bigalow. OK, maybe he didnt do the last two, but Giles bad behavior did alter the reputation of Kansas bas- ketball. Other than Giles, only two players have been charged with crimes while still on the basketball team during the past 10 years: Lester Earl and J.R. Giddens. Giles has tied that mark in one month with his two criminal charges. But hey, I cant just pick on Giles. He hasnt been the only one changing Kansas image recently. Giddens, Rodrick Stewart, Darnell Jackson and Jeff Hawkins deserve credit for that too. Giddens insti- gated the bar fight that Giles was involved in. Stewart was assaulted outside of a nightclub last year, but didnt provoke the fight. Jackson accepted benefits from a booster. McHawkins tried to leave the scene of an accident after a fender bender in the McDonalds drive- thru. Though his incident wasnt serious, Hawkins choice illustrated how the Jayhawks arent as well- behaved as they used to be. Take a look at Vaughn. The guy practically read philosophy books while he sat on the bench. He finished his Kansas career as a two- time Academic All-American and 1997 Academic All-American of the Year. Plus, he was 1996 Big Eight Player of the Year and the schools assist-leader award is named after him. Vaughn was just one of many players from the mid 90s to enhance the reputation of Kansas basketball. Jerod Haase earned a masters degree and wrote a book. Greg Ostertag donated a kidney. C.B. McGrath was a two-time Academic All Big 12 selection and earned a masters degree. Scott Pollards only legal scuffle was when he broke several fashion ordinances by painting his nails. Bill Self is a fabulous basketball coach, but the players in his tenure havent lived up to the behavioral precedent set by Roy Williams. Williams had to dismiss one player Sean Tunstall in 15 years, and Self has already dismissed two play- ers Giles and Giddens in four years. Although Williams recruited Giddens and Hawkins, their trou- bles started under Self s watch. This is an indication that Self isnt doing enough to prevent his players from making these mistakes. This is not an attack on Self in any way. Hes been under constant pressure to perform since he left Illinois for Kansas in 2003. Now is the time for Kansas to begin reha- bilitating its image. Bill Self, make Kansas proud. Dent is an Overland Park sopho- more in Journalism. Editedby Travis Robinett Recent players mar Jayhawk reputation ONE LOVE Roy Williams made his players perform better off the court than Bill Self Possibly lost in the shuffle of another unpredictable fantasy foot- ball season, a rookie wide receiver is leading the NFL in receiving yards. And if that isnt enough, hes tight-end eligible. Those used to three catches for 28 yards from their tight end spots each week now get an average of 14.3 points per game from New Orleans Marques Colston. All this unexpected production coming from a tight end slot is like hiring a baby sitter who mows your lawn, cleans out your gutters and files your tax return. Since the New Orleans Saints traded Donte Stallworth to the Eagles, Colston has been the model of consistency. He had just one game this season where he ended up with fewer than 10 fantasy points. He has the reliability of a Honda Accord and the performance of a Maserati. At 6-foot-4, 230 pounds, he has excellent hands, great body control and deceptive speed. There is little this rookie cant do, When you compare Colstons statistics to those of previous rookie wide receivers, only Randy Moss comes close. During Mosss rookie year with the Vikings, he had 69 catches for 1,313 yards and an incredible 17 touchdowns. Colston will better all of Randys statistics except the number of touchdowns. The more you think about it, the more Moss and Colston have in common. They are both 6-foot-4. They are both from Division I-AA colleges. And they were both passed over in the NFL Draft. Moss a projected top-ten pick slipped to 21st overall because of character problems he had in college. Colston wasnt drafted until the seventh round, after 32 other wide receivers were taken. With all that they have in com- mon, all Marques Colston needs to do is fail a few drug tests, alienate his coaching staff and moon an opposing teams crowd, and he will be a mirror image of Moss. From a fantasy football perspec- tive, his statistics are even more staggering. Only Tony Gonzalezs 2000 season 1,203 yards and nine touchdowns and Antonio Gates 2004 season 964 yards and 13 touchdowns come close to what Colston will achieve this year. As a rookie, he should already be inducted into the Fantasy Football Hall of Fame. Colston isnt just going to win the rookie of the year award, hes going to run away with it. He is on pace for 96 catches, 1,545 yards, and 12 touch- downs. And yet, he still doesnt get even 10 percent the face time on SportsCenter as teammate Reggie Bush. Yes, Reggie Bush, who is averag- ing a measly 2.8 yards per carry this season. I suppose if Marques Colston had a Heisman Trophy, two national championships one split and a slew of endorsement deals, ESPN would give him a little more love. But as it is, Colston will remain in the shadows of Reggie Bush, playing Ashlee Simpson to Bushs Jessica. Before long, though, those roles will be reversed.

After Kansas State lost to Baylor 17-3, the Wildcats had reached rock bottom. Coach Ron Prince appeared to have alienated his starting quarter- back, Dylan Meier, when he told the media before he told Meier that true freshman Josh Freeman would be the starter from that point for- ward. The coach was getting noth- ing out of his offense and I thought a lot of it had to do with coaching. I envisioned a disastrous season to continue for the Wildcats, that they would not win another game and would finish last in the Big 12 North, as expected. I thought Prince would not be able to return the Wildcats to their glory days of the late 90s under Bill Snyder. I was wrong, and Prince should be the Big 12 coach of the year. Prince has turned the Wildcats around and has won four of the past six games, which moved Kansas State into second place in the North. Second place in the North even being in the top half of the division is miracu- lous for a team that looked average at the beginning of the season and had few offensive playmakers. Kansas State has already quali- fied for a bowl game, and a vic- tory against Kansas would be the Wildcats eighth of the season, an amazing feat considering how poorly the team played at the start of the year. No one expected Kansas State to even qualify for a bowl game and viewed this season as a rebuilding year. Prince is the reason for Kansas States success, and I never thought that would be the case. Granted, Kansas State got a gift against Texas last week when Texas star quarterback, Colt McCoy, went down on Texas first possession of the game. However, the Wildcats still made more plays than the Longhorns throughout the game. The Wildcats performed well on special teams. They executed numerous trick plays to perfection. Prince executed a great game plan. Prince has gotten more out of his players in conference play this sea- son and should be the conferences coach of the year. Some think Kansas State will have a letdown this week against Kansas because of its dramatic vic- tory against Texas last week. I do not think thats possible in a rivalry game. Kansas State may have shown a lot of its offense to Kansas coach Mark Mangino, but the Wildcats wont underestimate the Jayhawks. Kansas State has had this game circled on the calendar for the entire season and Prince will have his team ready. A month ago, Kansas probably thought its game against Kansas State was almost a guaranteed victory. Now that Kansas State has improved, the game should be a close. Kansas is a two-point favorite, but I hon- estly have no idea who to pick on Saturday. Prince has done the best job in the conference. Better than Guy Morriss at Baylor or Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State. Prince has proven that he can coach at this level, and no one gave him a chance.

The thought of lining up against a freshman quarterback has Kansas defense salivating. Sure, hes been named the Big 12 Conferences Offensive Player of the Week for his performances against Colorado and Texas, but Kansas defense thinks it can get into Freemans head and make sure he winds up on the ground. Just what do the Jayhawks plan to do to the Wildcats starting quar- terback? Put pressure on him., hit him a couple of times, frustrate him, give him that one good lick to let him know that hey, were coming, junior defensive tackle James McClinton said. Youre a freshman. Welcome to college football, baby. Freeman hasnt played like a freshman during the last three weeks. In his last three games all victories Freeman has completed more than 70 percent of his passes and thrown for an average of 227 yards and two touchdowns. Thats quite a difference from the quarterback who made his first start six games into the season. Less than a month ago, he struggled, predict- ably. In his first four Big 12 games the Wildcats won just one of those games Freeman, a Kansas City, Mo., native, completed less than 40 percent of his passes, aver- aged only 177 yards and nearly two interceptions per game. Freeman has improved during the last few weeks, and thats where the Jayhawk defense fits in. Kansas pass rush has gotten bet- ter, especially in the past three weeks. A lack of a consistent pass rush was part of the reason Kansas secondary was being lit up by opposing quar- terbacks earlier in the season. But the plan is simple against Freeman. Get pressure on him and make the quarterback throw the ball early. High or errant passes easily turn into turnovers. We have to worry about what we have to do, which is put pressure on him, stop the run and cause turn- overs, McClinton said. The other part about stopping Freeman comes with controlling the pocket. Hes not exactly a running quarterback, but Freemans mobil- ity allows him to move the pocket to buy time for his receivers. Thats where Freeman and the Wildcats were able to burn Texas last week- end. But when theres an open lane, hell take a chance and run. Hes not a guy with happy feet, defensive coordinator Bill Young said. He tries to find his receivers, but once he decides to go, hell go.

Edited by Derek Korte BY CASE KEEFER Following exhibition play, womens basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson said she would like to have 10 players in rotation. She got her wish and then some when the Jayhawks defeated Seton Hall with 10 players, and when foul trouble and size mismatches forced Henrickson to use 11 players dur- ing the loss to Iowa. Of the 11 players, nine averaged more than nine minutes per game, a num- ber reflective of the young J a y h a w k s depth. That rotation could be cemented in Thursdays third regular sea- son game against the UMKC Kangaroos. Our depth is a real strength for us, freshman guard Kelly Kohn said, We have a lot of players that can sub in and out for some really good minutes. The Jayhawks will have to use that depth to its advantage when the Kangaroos visit Allen Fieldhouse. UMKC is 0-1 following a loss to Colorado State, but aspects of the loss leave room for optimism. Senior forward Stephanie Brown put up her 14th career double-dou- ble with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Brown will go up against a Kansas frontcourt that played well in its first two games. Most of the teams success can be linked back to sopho- more forward Marija Zinic. Zinic leads the Jayhawks in both field goal p e r c e n t a g e , with 56 percent, and points per game, with 15.5. She has proven that she is tak- ing better shots and working to get deep, Henrickson said. That will be important for the growth of this team. The Jayhawks biggest concern in the frontcourt will be keeping junior forward Taylor McIntosh out of foul trouble. McIntosh com- mitted three fouls in both games during the weekend, which limited her minutes. UMKCs leading scorer in its first game was junior guard Brittny Picconi. Picconi had 19 points, including four three-point shots. The Jayhawks gave up four three- point shots, two of which were uncontested, in the loss to Iowa. The Jayhawks perimeter shoot- ing is an area that must improve immediately. Guards Kohn, Shaquina Mosley, and LaChelda Jacobs hit only eight of 39 shots during the first two games and were two of 12 from three-point range. As a team, Kansas is only shoot- ing 35 percent. Henrickson said that she wasnt worried about the statistic and that she thought it could be easily improved. We still want to be aggressive, but then make better decisions, she said. It might just be the type of shots we take. Kansan sportswriter Case Keefer can be contacted at ckeefer@ kansan.com. Edited by Natalie Johnson BY SHAWN SHROYER Kansas added a second new- comer Wednesday when 6-foot-3 guard Tyrel Reed announced he would play college basketball for the Jayhawks. Reed, from Burlington High School, which is south of Topeka, gives coach Bill Self his second significant signing of the fall. Ive been around a lot of good coaches and good programs and, in the end, I felt that KU was my best bet, Reed said at a press conference in Burlington. A l t h o u g h Reed waited until this week to choose a school, his father and h i g h - s c h o o l coach, Stacy, said Tyrel hadnt been struggling with the deci- sion. He wasnt as concerned about the signing as what most people would indicate, Stacy said. He knew he had a chance to be a Jayhawk for quite some time. Tyrel also considered Oklahoma, Missouri, Missouri State and Stanford, but Kansas was always at the top of his list. He just needed to see who Kansas signed during the early stages of the signing period. After the first few days of the period passed without Kansas get- ting any wing players, Tyrel knew there would be an opening for him at Kansas and he wanted to commit. Its awesome, Tyrel said. Words cant really describe it. Its been a dream of mine since I was a little kid. Scout.com has Tyrel rated as a four-star recruit on a five-star scale and ranked him as the 10th- best point guard in his class, but according to the Web site, he can play either guard spot. The Web site lists Basketball IQ, Intangibles, and Perimeter Shot as Tyrels strengths. It states that Reed could use improvement on his mid-range shooting and physical strength. Now that Tyrel has made up his mind, he and his father, are relieved that they can focus on the high-school season. After the sea- son, Tyrel will begin to think about his future at Kansas. Ty just wants whats best for KU because, in the long run, hes been a Jayhawk fan for a long, long time, Stacy said. At some point in time, he wants to win a national title. Thats been his lifelong dream.

During that game, Kansas State fans rushed the field looking to tear down the goalposts after their team won. Angry KU students protected their turf and a brawl broke out between the two schools. It was the only victory Kansas had that day; the goalposts stood after the team lost. A year later, the Jayhawks sought revenge, facing the Wildcats as a two-touchdown favorite. But as the Kansan reminded students, Odds are certainly no indication when these two bitter rivals tangle. Kansas trailed 13-0 early in the game because of a severe case of fumble-itis. The Jayhawks lost six fumbles, but a strong defensive effort carried the Jayhawks to a five-point victory, 20-15. Kansas State was tackling the ball instead of the ball carriers, halfback Homer Floyd said after the game. After solving the fumbling prob- lems, Floyd took control of the Kansas offense. He rushed for 136 yards on 14 carries, including a 59-yard run on Kansas clinching touchdown drive. It was the sev- enth-best individual performance for a Jayhawk up to that point. The Kansas defense held Kansas State to two scores and only one extra point. Kansas coach Chuck Mather said, It was the best defense KU has shown since I started coach- ing here three years ago. The Wildcats scored their other two points on a safety. Jayhawk football fans could not watch the game live because it was in Manhattan, so the KU quar- terback club had a watch party, running an advertisement in the Kansan encouraging students to be at the Union to see KU-K- State film at 8 p.m. the following Wednesday. Kansas went on a 10-year win- ning streak after that game. In 1966, the two teams tied. The Wildcats defeated the Jayhawks in 1969, their first victory since 1955. Tomorrow, the Kansan looks back at a defining game in coach Mark Manginos career: the Jayhawk victory two years ago in Lawrence that snapped an eleven-year losing streak. notes from 1956: Center Galen Wahlmeier was team captain. The quarterback was Dave Preston. After the K-State victory, Kansas lost its last three games. End Jim Letcavits and tackle Frank Gibson were first team All- Big Seven selections.

MoorE Dont be surprised if theres more tension in the stands than on the field this Saturday at Memorial Stadium. For Kansas residents, this Saturdays meeting between Kansas and Kansas State is the bragging-rights game. The Sunflower Showdown might not have a hostile moniker like the Border War, but the intrastate rivalry is heated across the state of Kansas. Its not just big for us, said James McClinton, Kansas junior defensive tackle. Its big for the school. Its big for the state. Its a rivalry that splits many households and many towns. Many students in towns through- out Kansas dont know college students at any other school. Nathan Locke, Wakeeney freshman, grew up a Kansas fan because his dad attended the University of Kansas Medical Center. Locke was in the minor- ity in Wakeeney, a small western- Kansas town along I-70 west of Manhattan, where he said the Powercat ruled. Locke has former classmates making the drive to Lawrence this weekend. Weve been talking smack all these last few games, he said. The rivalry holds a deeper sig- nificance for many Kansas resi- dents than what takes place on the football field. The cultural differences between Manhattan and Lawrence intensify the barbs that bounce back and forth. The University of Kansas is in Douglas County, the lone blue county in the state. Kansas State University just welcomed for- mer secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld, a staunch conservative, to speak at its campus. Kansas takes pride in its liberal arts pro- gram, while Kansas State is known for its agricultural program. I always make fun of them and tell them were better, tell them theyre a bunch of farmers. Corey Harrison, Wichita fresh- man, said about his friends at Kansas State. After years of having noth- ing to argue about other than academics and low-blow cultur- al jabs, the rivalry on the field is starting to mean something again.

Arthur led the teamwith 22 points, but it wasnt enough to stop the Golden Eagles 78-71 victory. By shAwn shroyEr The Jayhawks didnt believe it could happen. Most fans in attendance prob- ably sauntered home in shock. But it happened. Against an athletic and versatile Oral Roberts team, Kansas ran out of gas and lost 78-71. Coach has been stressing this, but believe it or not, we really didnt believe it, junior guard Russell Robinson said. Thats a coachs job, to tell us, Hey, you can lose this game, and I dont think we really believed it. The loss comes a day after Kansas was named the best team in the country by Sports Illustrated, and will damage the Jayhawks national ranking. From the onset, Kansas looked slop- py, and myriad turnovers allowed Oral Roberts to stay in the game. Before long, it was Kansas that was trying to fight off defeat. In the first half, Kansas had 14 turn- overs to nine assists, while Oral Roberts had 10 turnovers to 11 assists. Oral Roberts turned Kansas 19 turnovers in the game into 21 points, while Kansas managed just 15 points from turnovers. We let them get comfortable, and they started making big shots toward the end of the game, Rush said. That really ended it. In the second half, Kansas struggles switched to shooting. The Jayhawks attempted six three-point shots without connecting and made only five of 13 free throw attempts. This inability to make up ground with the clock stopped buried Kansas. Mounted on top of Kansas short- comings were strong performances by Oral Roberts forwards Caleb Green and Marchello Vealy. see basketball on page 9a
