kansas staff reporter
The original home of the
University of Kansas was a 50-square
foot, three-story structure that stood
where GSP-Corbin Hall is now. The
building was dubbed North College,
or Old North, because it was set on
the north slope of Mt. Oread.
When the University opened its
doors in 1866, Old North housed a
whopping three professors, 55 stu-
dents, a hygiene lecturer and a janitor.
The University had a chemical
lab and the janitors room on the
first floor, a lecture hall and two
studies on the second and an audi-
torium, a museum and library on
the third.
Ferdinand Fuller, one of the first
settlers of Lawrence, designed the
building. According to KUHistory.
com, Fuller also gave Mt. Oread the
name it bears today. The name came
from the Oread Female Institute,
one of the last sites the settlers
passed as they left their hometown,
Worcester, Mass.
By 1871, the University had
more than 250 students enrolled.
Old North remained the home of
the University until 1972, when
University Hall, also known as Old
Fraser, was built. Old North was
then abandoned, until 1881, when
the state of Kansas took over the
building.
The University reclaimed Old
North in 1889, when it became the
home of the law school until 1893.
From 1893 until 1917, it was home
to the School of Fine Arts.
Like most of the Universitys
early construction, Old North was
not soundly built, and by 1917, the
building was falling apart.
Disassembly of Old North began
immediately after the School of Fine
Arts moved out. What remained
was destroyed in 1919. It wasnt
just torn down; an army tank blew
it apart as a demonstration of the
tanks effectiveness.
Today, a small memorial sits at
the original threshold of Old North
in the GSP-Corbin parking lot, along
with a piece of a stone windowsill.
The memorial is all that remains of
the Universitys first home.

Jerry Dobson, University of

American Geographical Society
president, will join KU graduate
Brian McClendon, the co-founder
of Google Earth, and American
Geographical Society vice presi-
dent Alec Murphy at the Dole
Institute of Politics tonight to
look at new uses of geographic
technology in warfare.
Dobson said a tremendous ad-
dition to geopolitics was Google
Earth. The program uses satellite
and Geographic Information
Systems to map out the geogra-
phy of an area, and was founded
by KU graduate Brian McClendon.
McClendon is known as the man
who made Lawrence the center of
the Earth,because the program
automatically zooms in on Law-
rence. Dobson said Google Earth
had been a very valuable addition
to geopolitics because it was a
place for geographers to publish
their work.

Nick Lush leaned over a table
on the Stauffer-Flint lawn and
signed a Hillel petition that would
make it easier for University of
Kansas students to study abroad
in Israel.
The Israel study abroad program
was suspended in 2000 when a trav-
el warning was issued by the U.S.
Department of State. The University
has a policy not to send students
to countries with travel warnings
because of liability.
Hillel proposed a compromise
that would create an affiliation
with the University of Texas.
Under the compromise, KU
students could study abroad
through the University of Texas,
which has a program in Israel,
while remaining enrolled at the
University.
Zac Pollack, Overland Park
sophomore, Hillel member and
organizer of the petition, said if
the petition worked out then the
Office of Study Abroad would help
students study abroad rather than
saying no. He said 40 students
signed the petition.
Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, direc-
tor of the Office of Study Abroad,
said students came in every year
and asked to go to Israel. She said
the decision was made by individ-
ual universities, and the University
would reinstate the program when
it was removed from the travel
advisory list.
Lush, Sacramento, Calif., senior,
said he studied abroad in Florence
two semesters ago, but his first choice
was Israel. He said all the countries
on the list should be looked at objec-
tively, rather than discontinuing the
program just because it made the
list.
Just because one thing has hap-
pened at any time in its history
doesnt mean that country should
be permanently barred from hav-
ing people go there, Lush said.
America is a sworn ally of Israel
and sworn to defend the coun-
try. Its kind of ridiculous that we
wouldnt offer students here the
ability to go.
Rachel Goldberg, St. Louis soph-
omore and Grinspoon intern for
Hillel, said she knew students who
studied abroad in Israel who disen-
rolled from the University to do so.
Its quite a tedious process. They
are going and they are safe. Theres
no reason why KU shouldnt put it
on their list, Goldberg said.
Gronbeck-Tedesco said any policy
changes were up to Provost Richard
Lariviere, who couldnt be reached
for comment. She said the University
accepted transfer credit for students
who went around the policy to study
abroad in Israel.

Students in need of a new amp,
stereo or turntable should stop by
the For Your Ears Only ben-
efit sale this weekend. The benefit,
which sells donated audio equip-
ment, will raise money for the
University of Kansas Audio-Reader
program.
The Audio-Reader program
provides those who are blind and
print disabled a chance to experi-
ence newspapers, magazines and
other media outlets by having vol-
unteers read to
them.
We are pro-
viding a service
to those who
are unable to
perform it, to
fill in that void
you have by not
reading, said
Sarah Hemme,
assistant direc-
tor of Audio-
Reader.
Hemme said volunteers read
copies of the University Daily
Kansan and other newspapers
and magazines. She said they also
took special requests from their
listeners.
Janet Campbell, an Audio-
Reader volunteer, said although
the University sponsored the
program, it was required to raise
one-third of its budget each year.
The For Your Ears Only ben-
efit allows the program to raise
funds by collecting donations
of audio equipment from the
Lawrence community all year
long.
Campbell said donations were
better than ever this year.
You name it, we have it this year,
Campbell said. We have LPs, CDs,
audio books, DJ equipment to name
a few.
Donations also include vari-
ous collectables, such as a vintage
music set autographed by Louis
Armstrong.
Lawrence resident Lewis Reid
said he donated several CDs to help
the cause.
I dont really listen to them
anymore so I
think its better
than throwing
them away,
Reid said.
Hemme said
she hoped the
bigger inven-
tory would lead
to higher prof-
its.
We would
like to see pro-
ceeds go up
higher than ever before because
our donations have been so big
and because a lot of time and effort
has been put into this event.
For Your Ears Only, will be
from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday
and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
in buildings one and two at the
Douglas County Fairgrounds.
Admission on Friday will cost
$10. Admission on Saturday is
free.

Ruth Marstall, recruiter for
Westar Energy, said that some of
thefirstaspectsshelookedforwere
the students major, internships and

One program in particular that
Marstall said was a good indica-
tor for future employment was the

group of selected business students
that visit Wall Street in New York
during the course of the program.
Thestudentshaveahighinterestin
investment banking and the oppor-
tunity to meet contacts on Wall
Street.
That program incorporates
exactly what we are looking for in
employees here at the company,
Marstallsaid.
Marstall said Westar Energy was
in growth mode, which was caused
by more and more baby boomers
retiring and causing more positions
in almost all departments of the
companytobecomeavailable.
Marshall said the company was
planning the construction of a new
powerplantinEmporia,whichpre-

BOSTON A judge rejected a
Harvard students request Wednesday
for extra break time during her nine-
hour medical licensing exam so she
could pump breast milk for her
infant daughter.
Sophie Currier, 33, sued after
the National Board of Medical
Examiners turned down her request
to take more than the standard 45
minutes in breaks during the exam.
She said that if she does not nurse
her 4-month-old daughter, Lea, or
pump breast milk every two to three
hours, she risks medical complica-
tions.
Norfolk Superior Court Judge
Patrick Brady said Currier has other
options, beyond asking the board to
change its rules for her.
The plaintiff may take the test
and pass, notwithstanding what
she considers to be unfavorable
conditions. The plaintiff may
delay the test, which is offered
numerous times during the year,
until she has finished her breast-
feeding and the need to express
milk, he said.
Currier, of Brookline, Mass., has
finished a joint M.D.-Ph.D. pro-
gram at Harvard University while
having two babies in two years.
She has been offered a residency in
clinical pathology at Massachusetts
General Hospital in November, but
cannot accept it unless she passes
the test.
Prothe declined to comment further.
Bretz said University employees need-
ed to be trained better to create a more
unified system for handling confidential
information. The Universitys informa-
tion management initiative is the solu-
tion for unifying the system, Bretz said.
In July, a Kansan reporter recovered
private information from Wescoe Hall.
The materials were taken from a portion
of Wescoe Hall that was under construc-
tion. The documents found included
KUID numbers, course evaluations and
grades.
People have forgotten about
paper, Bretz said. Its not just digi-
tal; its paper and how theyre con-
nected. This is a wake-up call.
Todd Davis, CEO of Life Lock, an
identity theft prevention agency, said a
Social Security number could allow an
identity thief to find out more informa-
tion about a person such as a phone num-
ber or address. With that information
in addition to a Social Security number,
Davis said, a thief could pose as someone
else and apply for loans or credit cards.
One of the forms in the enve-
lope received Tuesday included one
persons credit card number, Social
Security number, phone number and
address on the same page. Davis said
that was particularly dangerous.
You could do something imme-
diately, Davis said. You could turn
that into money within minutes.
Todd Cohen, director of University
Relations, said there was no indica-
tion that this latest development was
a widespread issue. He said it should
not be connected to the issue in July.
Theyre totally different by
nature, Cohen said.
The two envelopes received by the
Kansan contained identical information
and identical cover letters. The return
address listed on the envelopes delivered
to the Kansan was 645 New Hampshire
St., the mailing address for the Lawrence
Journal-World. The envelopes delivered
to the Journal-World had the return
address for the Kansan. The Kansas City
Star was unable to comment on its enve-
lopes return addresses.
The Kansan made copies of all of
the documents for use in this story.
The original contents were returned
to Bretz and Cohen Wednesday after-
noon. All of the documents remained
secured from the time they were
received until they were returned. The
copies also remain secure. None of the
information will be shared. The copies
will be returned to the University once
the story is completed.

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. Before
leaving Iraq, thousands of troops
with the 101st Airborne Division
lined up at laptop computers to take
a test: basic math, matching numbers
and symbols, and identifying pat-
terns. They pressed a button quickly
to measure response time.
It was all part of a fledgling Army
program that records how soldiers
brains work when healthy, giving
doctors baseline data to help diag-
nose and treat the soldiers if they
suffer a traumatic brain injury the
signature injury of the Iraq war.
This allows the Army to be much
more proactive, Lt. Col. Mark McGrail,
division surgeon for the 101st, said.
We dont want to wait until the soldier
is getting out of the Army to say, But
Ive had these symptoms.
The mandatory brain-function tests
were starting with the 101st at Fort
Campbell and are expected to spread to
other military bases in the next couple
of months. Commanders at each base
decide whether to adopt the program.
The tests provide a standard,
objective measurement for each sol-
diers reaction time, their short-term
memory and other cognitive skills.
That data would be used when the
soldiers come home to identify mild
brain trauma that could often go
unnoticed and untreated.
Dr. Robert Schlegel, University
of Oklahoma researcher, said about
7,500 Fort Campbell soldiers com-
pleted the 10-minute exams.
Brain injuries caused by explo-
sions became some of the most
common combat wounds suffered
in Iraq. According to the Defense
and Veterans Brain Injury Center, 30
percent of soldiers taken to Walter
Reed Army Medical Center since
2003 suffered traumatic brain inju-
ries.
The brain-injury center, which
has seven facilities around the coun-
try, saw 2,669 patients between 2003
and 2007. But doctors believe many
less obvious brain-injury cases went
undetected.
Most brain injuries were mild,
and soldiers could recover with rest
and time away from the battlefield.
But the military estimated that one-
fifth of the troops with these mild
injuries would have prolonged or
lifelong symptoms requiring con-
tinuing care.
So little is known about traumatic
brain injuries that these baseline
readings could become an important
cornerstone for future study.
Sandy Schneider, director of
Vanderbilt Universitys brain injury
rehabilitation program, said that
while it was too early to tell how
effective the tests might be at helping
diagnose and treat brain injuries, the
data could be extremely helpful for
researchers.
Were finding out so much more
about this injury because of this war,
unfortunately, Schneider said.
The 101st was the first unit to
use them on a large scale for every
soldier preparing to deploy.

D
ear Garrison Keeler,

Im writing you
with the wish to make a bad situ-
ation for you a great one for me.
Out of mere curiosity, whos go-
ing to take over A Prairie Home
Companion when you retire? I
know, I know, its a rather for-
ward question, all apologies on
my part, but honestly, whos go-
ing to take over?
Id like to offer you my servic-
es in taking over your program
when you become either too old
or to worn-out to continue on.
Your vocal style has been noted
to be that of a slow hypnotic dy-
namic and I fear with the onset
of age it will only proceed to get
slower and more hypnotic;
the tempo change would
probably limit you to telling
one story per hour and could
imminently lead to the deaths
of many listeners from being
overly hypnotizing; I can see
the headlines now: Man hyp-
notized dies while driving;
House wife in intensive care
after zoning out while using
electric hand-mixer; Bunt
cake ruined.
I dont have any radio experi-
ence, but already this semester,
two professors have told me
that I should get involved in ra-
dio, with one of them telling me
that I have a radio voice, the
kind of voice that I believe melts
butter, similar to that of the ma-
chines in movie theatres. Sup-
pose the theatre were recording
in wants me to multi-taskwell,
I can melt butter, can you? I
have musical background, hav-
ing acted in a few musicals in
high school, only one of which
I sang in; but rest assured when-
ever The Sound of Music is
on I sing along before the Na-
zis get NFL star Jim Brown (on
second thought I may be think-
ing of The Dirty Dozen). Im
even enrolled in a fction writing
course this semester, and though
my professor and my peers
havent workshopped one of my
pieces, I know what theyll say
already, Ross, you should mail
Garrison Keeler a letter and ask
him to let you take over for him
later on in life, youre just that
good.
Though I know Im years
away from being anywhere near
the writer that you are, I think I
could keep the bar high with my
creativity and still keep it in a
Midwestern scope. You see, you
and I are not all that different,
but I feel that we are different
enough that I could continue
onward in your tradition but
improve upon the show for de-
cades to come.
I even have a feel for bringing
in talent for the program. Just the
other day was I walking down-
town with my roommate when
we passed a person playing ma-
racas without a rhythm for spare
change. Many a passerby didnt
quite feel what she was putting
down. I even chuckled at frst
until I listened to the rhythms
she was not playing; the absence
of measure and time allowed my
imagination to run wild. Solo
avant garde maracas would be
stellar programming for A Prai-
rie Home Companion.
I fear I may not be able to keep
up with your sense of style, for I
do not own a pair of red shoes.
This can be changed; there are
places that sell red shoes, places
that I assume take Visa.
So Im set. When do you
think I can start? Is there an ap-
prentice program? Oh and do I
have to wear red shoes? I think
it washes me out. Im more of
a green man. Hear from you
soon.
Sincerely,
Ross Stewart

Increases in ATM fees unreasonable
With banks considering following Bank of Americas decision to raise prices, alternatives must be considered
D
uring the last few
years, Americans
have spent slightly
more than $4 billion in ATM
fees. That number puts the av-
erage Americans expense at
roughly $200 a year in fees. With
banks aggressively recruiting
student customers, especially
towards the beginning of the
year, its all the more important
to recognize hidden fees and as-
sess other options.
Bank of America, the nations
largest bank-owned network, in-
creased ATM fees from $2 to $3
for non-customers. That means
that in addition to the fees that
most banks charge for using
another banks ATM, some us-
ers could pay more than $5 per
withdrawal.
Although Bank of America
has more than 17,000 ATMs na-
tionwide, only 10,700 of these
will adopt the fee increase.
While Bank of America ATMs
on college campuses will con-
tinue to be assessed the $2 fee,
most others will go to the new,
higher fee. The Bank of America
in Lawrence is not on campus; it
is located at 900 Ohio Street.
As pricey as it is, it is going to
get worse. Those students who
are frequent ATM users and
plan on maneuvering their way
around the fees by not using a
Bank of America ATM are not
going to have success for very
long. Other banking institutions
have stated that they would like
to raise their fees as well, but
they are awaiting the public
response before doing so. Wa-
chovia ATM charges range from
$1.50 to $2.50; they are also
considering a fee hike to $3 in
certain markets. Citigroup and
Wells Fargo have kept their fees
at $2 for the time being.
Accessing an ATM is obvi-
ously convenient, and they are
readily available in many loca-
tions, including on campus.
However, to avoid handing over
hard-earned money to withdraw
more money, here are some of
the available alternatives. Begin
using a debit card in basic trans-
actions instead of just using it
to access money. The card au-
tomatically deducts money from
a checking account. Although it
may be an inconvenience, there
is also always the possibility
of going to the bank and with-
drawing money there.
If those two options are not
viable, change banks. Certain
banks charge no ATM fees, and
as spokespersons have stated,
banks are waiting for public re-
action. If a bank realizes that all
of its customers are leaving due
to fees, they may reconsider the
increase. Allow the power of
market economics to take over.
Banks raise their fees because of
assumed inelasticity; if custom-
ers show no change in demand,
the fee increases will remain.
Obviously, banks have to
make their money as well, but
this shouldnt come at customer
expense. Students who do not
want to continue paying the ris-
ing fees should take advantage
of the other available choices.

BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) _ A pow-
erful bomb killed an anti-Syria law-
maker and six others Wednesday in
a Christian neighborhood of Beirut,
threatening to derail an effort by an
already divided Parliament to elect
Lebanons next president in voting
that begins next week.
Antoine Ghanem, a 64-year-old
member of the Christian Phalange
party who had returned from ref-
uge abroad only two days earlier,
was the eighth anti-Syria figure and
fourth lawmaker from the govern-
ing coalition to be assassinated in
less than three years.
Coalition members blamed Syria.
Damascus denied involvement, as it
has for the previous seven assassi-
nations, including the 2005 bomb-
ing death of former Prime Minister
Rafik Hariri a killing that ignited
huge protests and forced Syria to
withdraw its troops after a three-
decade occupation.
Security officials said at least
67 people were wounded in
Wednesdays blast, half of which
had left the hospital by days
end. The explosion occurred at
rush hour on a busy street in the
Sin el-Fil district, severely dam-
aging nearby buildings, setting
several cars on fire and scatter-
ing blood and debris along the
street.
Explosive experts were seen
checking the engine of Ghanems
car, which was thrown more than
150 feet. A security official said
the bomb was likely detonated by
remote control near Ghanems car.
I have never seen a more cow-
ardly regime than that of Bashar
Assads, lawmaker Saad Hariri
said, blaming the Syrian president
for Ghanems death.
Hariri replaced his father, the
assassinated ex-premier, as head of
anti-Syria forces, which now hold a
majority in Lebanese Parliament.
Cabinet member Ahmed Fatfat
also blamed Syria for the attack,
and said Damascus wanted to derail
efforts by majority and opposition
leaders to reach some agreement
before they begin presidential vot-
ing in Parliament on Tuesday.
It is the only regime that does
not want presidential elections in
Lebanon to be held, Fatfat told The
Associated Press.
President Emile Lahoud, an ally
of Syria, also implied Ghanems
death was meant to undermine the
presidential vote, saying it is no
coincidence that whenever there
are positive signs that someone is
killed.
Syria said the attack was aimed
at sabotaging the efforts by the
Lebanese people to reach an agree-
ment.
This criminal act aims at under-
mining efforts paid by Syria and
others to achieve Lebanese nation-
al accord, Syrias state-run news
agency SANA quoted an anony-
mous Syrian official as saying.
Many people fear the divisions
over the presidency could lead to
the creation of two rival govern-
ments, which could cause a repeat
of the last two years of Lebanons
civil war from 1975 to 1990, when
army units loyal to competing
administrations battled it out.
The United States has accused
Syria of trying to undermine
Lebanons government, but has not
yet tied the Damascus regime to the
political killings.
The bombing that claimed
these lives was another in a cam-
paign of terror by those who
want to turn back the clock
on Lebanons hard-win demo-
cratic gains, Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice said in a state-
ment. Enemies of peace and
freedom want to gain through
violence, threat, and intimida-
tion what they cannot win in free
and fair elections.
The assassination of anti-Syria
figures began with the killing of
Hariri on Feb. 14, 2005, in a bomb-
ing that also killed 20 other people.
Large demonstrations and interna-
tional pressure forced Syrian troops
to leave, and Lebanon elected a
government led by anti-Syria poli-
ticians.
Since then, U. S. -backed
Prime Minister Fuad Saniora
has been mired in a power
struggle with the opposition,
led by the Syrian-allied militant
group Hezbollah. Government
supporters said Syria wanted to
end Sanioras small majority in
Parliament by killing off law-
makers in his coalition, which
now holds 68 seats to the oppo-
sitions 59.
With the loss of Ghanem and the
earlier killing of Pierre Gemayel,
the Phalange party one of the
main political and military pow-
ers during the 15-year civil war
now has just one representative
in Parliament.
After the assassination of law-
maker Walid Eido in June, some
majority legislators left the country
to spend the summer abroad in
safety, while those who stayed took
extra security.
Fatfat told the AP that Ghanem
had just returned Monday from an
undisclosed country where he took
refuge for two months.

Dennis Christilles credits theater
with saving his life. After graduat-
ing from the American Academy of
Dramatic Arts in 1975, he returned
home to Texas and joined a the-
ater troupe and worked as a waiter.
Because of his job, he had to have a
health card. Chest X-rays showed a
tumor was wrapped around his aorta.
He immediately went into surgery
and the tumor removed. Christilles
said the doctors told him that had it
gone untreated, it would have been
fatal in about six months.
Something inside me told me to
come back to Texas and get involved
in the theater troupe, Christilles
said.
In his 14 years as an associate
professor in the department of the-
atre and film at the University of
Kansas, Christilles has been involved
in nearly every aspect of theater
production. His latest work is a pro-
duction of Lewis Carrolls Through
the Looking Glass and What Alice
Found There. The play is a sequel to
Alices Adventures in Wonderland.
Christilles directed and designed the
sets and lights for the play. He said
performing for a live audience was
special because the audience and
performers could interact.
You just dont find it any other
form, Christilles said. Its not pre-
recorded, its not removed from the
audience by distance of miles or
anything like that. Youre in the same
room with the audience, and there
you are. And that aspect of it, to me,
is really, really special and exciting.
Christilles earned his doctor-
ate from the University in 1990 and
worked for four years in Louisiana
before returning to the University in
the fall of 1994. Since then, Christilles
has, in a sense, directed students
lives. He said one key component of
his job was to set the scene of the play
long before the opening curtain.
Whenever Im directing I just
try to create an environment and
atmosphere thats creative and not
very high pressure so people feel to
experiment and realize the joy of it,
the fun of it, he said.
Angela Chrysostomou, Nicosia,
Cyprus junior and theatre major, has
been involved in many of Christilles
shows as an actress. She said that
Christilles helped her become a bet-
ter actress by helping her develop
her English speaking skills.
I learned how to feel comfortable
on stage, she said.
Kate Giessel, Larned graduate
student, completed her degrees in
theater and linguistics last spring.
In the summer of 2006, she and
other members studied abroad with
Christilles in Greece, and last sum-
mer, they went to Belgium and per-
formed The Odyssey.
Hes a great teacher because he
will introduce material and then let
you as a person find meaning for it,
Giessel said.
Christilles said that at the
University, working with actors has
not been difficult. He said that actors
generally want everyone to succeed
and to have the best performance.
Shy people sometimes need a little
extra help.
Thats one of the things a direc-
tor does is to be that bridge and a
person who can move everybody
along, he said.
In the future Christilles wants to
continue studying abroad during the
summer and also spend more time
conducting research on Greece and
contemporary theater. Christilles
said that he advises his students the
same way he does his own children.
Dont make your dreams little,
he said. Dare to dream big dreams,
and dont be afraid to go out and try
to make them come true.

t is an overcast Saturday at
Memorial Stadium and the Kansas
offense has just scored its second
touchdown against Toledo, giving the
Jayhawks a 17-0 lead. The special teams
unit is lining up as senior kicker Scott
Webb prepares to kick the ball away.
The kick goes 70 yards deep into Toledo
territory as senior kick returner Andrew
Hawkins catches the ball. Hawkins runs
bravely towards the vicious Kansas
special teams unit before being tackled
by freshman Justin Springer and junior
Raymond Brown.
Meanwhile, in the stands, a majority of
the student section screams as the kick sails
through the air, Rip his f - - - ing head
off!
One fan bleeds through the crowd with,
Disembowel that f- - - er! Another fan,
before Hawkins is tackled, shouts, Cut his
f- - -ing throat!
Football, often seen as one of the most
violent college sports, an often times be
mistaken for a battle scene in a Mel Gibson
movie. It comes with no surprise that fans
did not yell, Hit him ever so softly after
the kickoff.
Though screaming obscenities at the
away team may seem a bit excessive, violent
chants have become the norm around col-
lege stadiums throughout the country.
Some students at Rutgers University
took their chants a little too far in a home
game against the U.S. Naval Academy
in early September. Their cheers turned
into jeers every time Navy had pos-
session of the ball and their profani-
ties were directed not only towards the
Navy football team, but also towards
Navy fans and midshipmen, who were
in uniform. Granted we live in a society
where our servicemen defend our liber-
ties and rights, to say F- - - you Navy,
is just plain rude. So rude, in fact, that
Rutgers University Athletics Director
Bob Mulcahy issued a public statement of
apology to Navy.
Unfortunately, some fans, and even
some mascots, have taken their passion for
their team way too far and have actually
committed violent acts.
On Sept. 1 in Eugene, Ore., fans cheered
as Oregon University mascot, Donald
Duck, beat up Houston Universitys mascot
Ultimate Fighting Championship style.
After a combination of kicks and punches,
Shasta the cougar was left defenseless on
the ground. The duck added insult to inju-
ry by finishing the beat down by teabag-
ging the wounded cougar. As a result of
Donald Ducks assault, he was suspended
for one game.
A week before the duck incident, an
Oklahoma fan faced aggravated assault
charges for a crime of passion against a
University of Texas fan. Allen Michael
Beckett, a 53-year-old church deacon,
was in an Oklahoma City when 32-year-
old Brian Thomas walked in wearing
a Texas Longhorns shirt. Some words
were exchanged, signaling a warning for
Thomas to pay his bar tab and exit. Before
exiting, Beckett grabbed Thomas groin
and would not let go. By the time Becketts
hand was pulled from Thomas bleeding
groin, his testicles hung outside of his torn
scrotum.
These two particular incidents show
how an innocent passion for ones team can
turn into violence. When it is game day
it may seem easier than ever to fall into
a mob-mentality and bash another team
and its sports fans. In the past, Colorado

Great things come in pairs. For Elizaveta
Avdeeva and Edina Horvath, they will try
to translate a good partnership into another
successful season on the tennis court.
After finishing last season as All-Big 12
performers and posting a 23-9 record, the
duo has their sights set firmly on the slate of
fall tournaments beginning this weekend.
The Kansas tennis season begins Friday at
the Cissie Leary Tournament in Philadelphia.
The following weekend Avdeeva, Obninsk,
Russia senior, and Horvath, Budapest,
Hungary junior, will travel to Pacific
Pallisades, Calif., where they were selected
to compete in the qualifying draw of the ITA
All-American Championships.
Invitations to this highly selective tour-
nament are based on rankings and recom-
mendations. They will compete against 23
other pairs in hopes to qualify for a spot in
the main draw.
Avdeeva and Horvath are confident going
in and considered qualifying for the main
draw a top goal for the fall season.
We are so excited. We have nothing to
lose, Avdeeva said. We are going to just play
as we usually play, with lots of energy.
Unifying with a partner on the tennis
court is not always easy. Both Avdeeva and
Horvath stressed the need for good com-
munication and emotional support as keys
to success.
If Edina sees that Im down she tells me
come on Liza, we can do it, Avdeeva said. I
can miss three balls in a row and she would
never say why are you playing so bad? She
just tells me its okay Liza, I will get the next
one.
The pair credited their positive relation-
ship off the court as a big factor in their
success.
It is really important for me to have a
partner who is a good friend, Horvath said.
Avdeeva and Horvath will try to use their
experience as partners to get a heads up on
the competition. They have played in the No.
1 doubles slot since fall of last year.

The problem could be a faulty wireless
router or a complication with software
anything with computers and Sasha
Kaun will likely have the solution.
Freshman guard Chase Buford said
Jayhawk players direct all their technology
questions to Kaun.
Hes a wiz with computers, Buford said.
From everything I know, hes a smart guy.
Kauns computer expertise helped him
land an internship this past summer with
Perceptive Software, a Shawnee-based
company that develops a document-orga-
nizing product called ImageNow. Years of
hard work and a passion for computers
helped Kaun become a major contributor
for Perceptive Software.
Kaun has been around computers and
enjoyed working with them for as long
as he can remember. His love for com-
puters comes from his dad, who was a
developer in Russia. When the dean of
Kauns department recommended him to
Perceptive Software for a month-long July
internship, Kaun was excited.
Immediately after he started working,
Perceptive Software gave Kaun instruc-
tions for a project and told him to finish it
by the end of the month.
Kaun had to load and search log files on
Perceptive Softwares server to create a tool
that would help the companys researchers
detect errors faster on the log files. Log
files list actions that have occurred on a
server.

Twenty minutes after Kansas 3-2 (30-23, 26-
30, 20-30, 30-28, 15-7) victory against Missouri,
Emily Brown stood on the baseline of the Hearnes
Center, surrounded by a throng of Jayhawk fans.
Brown, senior right side/setter and four-year
starter, played about three careers worth of volley-
ball games in a Kansas uniform. But after posting
12 kills, 29 assists and seven digs to lead Kansas to
its first conference road victory since 2005 and its
first victory at Missouri since 2001, she conceded
that might have been her finest hour at Kansas.
Wow, Brown, Baldwin City, said. Zero
and 10 on the road last year, not one road win.
Thats just shows our team and our young play-
ers that were not going to repeat last year.
But for a while on Wednesday night, it
seemed like they might.
turning point
Kansas trailed 24-22
in game four, only six
Missouri points away from
a loss. But the Jayhawks
went on a five-point run,
punctuated by a Flavia
Lino block, and took a 27-
24 lead. Kansas closed out
the game 30-28.
With the momentum
in tow, Kansas rolled over
Missouri in game five, 15-7 and clinched the
match.
Sarah Wittenauer, sophomore defensive spe-
cialist/seter, proved to be the unlikely hero in
game five. With Kansas holding a 6-5 advantage,
coach Ray Bechard inserted Wittenauer to serve.
Kansas reeled off an 8-0 run behind the strength
of Wittenauers serving and gained a 14-5 lead.
We know thats a situation shes comfortable
in, Bechard said. She was
the key to that run.
Jenna Kaiser, fresh-
man outside hitter,
finished things off for
Kansas with one of her
12 kills in its first confer-
ence victory of the year.
Kansas improved to 8-5
and 1-2 in the Big 12.
Missouri dropped to 7-4
and 0-2 in the Big 12.
Our kids just needed something to feel
good about, Bechard said. What better

The Florida International foot-
ball team, Kansas next opponent,
is infamous. And its infamy doesnt
come from off the field issues with
its players.
In fact, the Golden Panthers
reputation stems from a singular
on-the-field incident.
Florida International players
were part of a monumental brawl
during a game with cross-town
rival, the University of Miami, less
than a year ago.
Although the Golden Panthers
2007 roster consists of fifteen
players that were suspended for
taking part in the fight, Kansas
coach Mark Mangino said new
Florida International coach Mario
Cristobal has changed the teams
culture.
Their new coach has brought
some structure and discipline to
the program, Mangino said. Its
quite obvious by watching them.
Cristobal was hired for the head
coaching vacancy this off-season
after former coach Don Strock
resigned before the end of last year.
Strock didnt find much success on
the FIU sidelines in his five years
with only 15 wins and 41 losses.
But Strocks five years were also the
programs first five years.
The football team is now in its
sixth year and the goal is simple: be
competitive. The scuffle that made
national headlines last October just
makes Cristobals task in getting to
that point tougher. Add in that
the Golden Panthers posses the
nations longest losing steak, at 15
games, and a successful program
seems generations away.
Cristobal doesnt see it that way,
though. He said he was enthusi-
astic about the way his team had
played so far this season.
Slowly but surely our guys are
understanding the process a lit-
tle better and understanding our
schemes better and sure as heck
are putting every ounce of effort
into it, Cristobal said. We feel like
every single week we are going to
take steps and push forward.
So far, the Golden Panthers have
gotten better every week. They suf-
fered a demoralizing 59-0 thrash-
ing at the hands of Penn State
in their first game of the season,
but then only lost by 16 points to
Maryland. And last week, it played
evenly with Miami for most of the
game in a 23-9 loss.
Mangino noticed the
improvements and said Florida
Internationals encounters with
nationally-recognized teams made
it a prepared opponent.
They played Miami toe-to-toe
and a good Maryland team very
well, Mangino said. They are used
to playing in big venues so this is a
game we have to get ready for.
Two teams from Florida
Internationals conference, the Sun
Belt, pulled upsets last weekend when
Troy piled points on Oklahoma State
and Florida Atlantic beat Minnesota.
But Florida International has
never finished in the top half of
the Sun Belt standings or enjoyed a
winning season. With a new coach
and an urge to distant themselves
from the events of last October,
however, the Golden Panthers have
to start somewhere. Theyll try to
make that somewhere Memorial
Stadium this Saturday.

BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@ku.edu
When Kansas coach Mark Mangino
and offensive coordinator Ed Warinner
designed the teams new offense last
spring, sophomore quarterback Todd
Reesing had not yet become starting
quarterback Todd Reesing.
Luckily for Mangino and Warinner,
Reesing has flourished as the field
general of the new system. But that
may not be purely coincidental the
teams new offense fits the teams new
quarterback like a glove.
What were trying to do suits
Todd, Warinner said. We play to
his strengths by trying to keep the
field spread out. He can look around
and see who he wants to throw to
and it gives him some options.
Reesing, who played at Lake
Travis High School in Austin, Texas,
is no stranger to the style of offense
that Warinner installed. During his
high school career, Reesing took
snaps in the shotgun formation with
four wide receivers the same kind
of offense he commands at Kansas.
The possibilities are more varied
in a college offense, Reesing said, but
the bootleg passing plays and read-
option running plays are similar to
the schemes he used at Lake Travis.
There are definitely a lot of
similarities, Reesing said. It has
helped me feel
more comfort-
able because I did
it for three years
in high school,
so its helped me
adjust.
Reesing seems
to have mas-
tered any sort of
adjustments he has faced as a starter
thus far. Through three games he has
completed 56 percent of his passes
for 831 yards and thrown 10 touch-
downs without a single interception.
Reesings 174.49 passing efficiency
rating ranks second in the Big 12
behind Oklahomas Sam Bradford,
and 10th in the nation, near famous
names like Colt Brennan of Hawaii
and Brian Brohm of Louisville, Ky.
We just want him to operate
our offense, be a leader and execute
plays, Mangino said. If he does the
things hes supposed to do, some
respect and national attention could
be a byproduct of taking care of
business here.
Reesings numbers might be even
more impressive had Kansas receivers
not dropped eight catchable passes
last week against Toledo. Despite the
dropped passes, he bounced back and
finished with 313 passing yards and 19
rushing yards. Mangino said the quar-
terbacks ability to deal with adversity
was one of the ways he had exceeded
the coaching staff s expectations.
Reesings rushing total included
an impressive 13-yard option scam-
per around the right edge of the
offensive line a play Kansas used
several times against an aggressive
Toledo defense.
Each new wrinkle the coaches
throw into the offense could be a
surprise to fans, media and especial-
ly opposing defenders. But chances
are Reesing will have seen it before.

JayhawkS dOnt cheat
Kansas has been more than just
efficient in all aspects of its game this
season; it has been disciplined. The
Jayhawks are tied for second nation-
ally with an average of only 3.67 pen-
alties per game. Iowa State is current-
ly first in the nation, averaging 3.33
per game, and Wake Forest is tied
with Kansas for second. The short-
age of false-start and delay-of-game
penalties could be because of soph-
omore quarterback Todd Reesings
command of the offense, offensive
coordinator Ed Warinner said.
k-State game SOLd Out
According to the Kansas State
Athletics Department, the Oct. 6
Sunflower Showdown between Kansas
and Kansas State is now sold out. The
official game time and television avail-
ability will be announced next Monday.
natiOnaL attentiOn
Junior cornerback Aqib Talibs strong
play through the first three games of the
season has earned him more attention
from national media. Rivals.com moved
Talib to the top of its defensive back
power rankings after recording six tack-
les and one interception against Toledo
last week. Kansas offensive coordinator
Ed Warinner also earned inclusion in
the Web sites rankings he is ranked
No. 20 in the offensive coach category.
FOcuSing On FLOrida
internatiOnaL
Kansas opponent this week, Florida
International, may be in the middle of a
15-game losing streak, but the Jayhawks
are not taking the game lightly. Theyre
a different team this year than they have
been in the past, junior defensive end
Russell Brorsen said. If you watch them
on film, it doesnt match up with their
stats. Theyre very disciplined and very
fast. Florida Internationals losing streak
is currently the longest of any Division I
Football Bowl Subdivision team.

Kansas earns national attention
Coaches say sophomore exceeds expectations for offensive leadership
ASSOCiATEd PRESS
Police arrested two reserve
defenders on the Missouri football
team in separate incidents.
John Stull, a redshirt freshman and
defensive lineman, was arrested by
Columbia police early Monday on a
municipal assault charge, police said.
A 26-year-old man told police
that Stull punched him in the mouth
in the parking lot of a local restau-
rant. The pair argued over money
owed from damage to an apartment,
the victim said. The fight took place
about 4 a.m. on Sept. 6.
Stull, Missouris No. 2 defensive
end behind starter Stryker Sulak, is
on two years of unsupervised proba-
tion for a misdemeanor peace dis-
turbance conviction from February
2006. The former Rock Bridge High
School star has made one tackle in
three games this year.
Athletic Department spokesman
Chad Moller said Stulls status with
the team was being reviewed by
coach Gary Pinkel.
Columbia police also arrested
backup linebacker Steve Redmond
and former Missouri softball player
Kendra Power at 3 a.m. Sunday on
suspicion of throwing a nuisance
party at their home. Both were issued
summons and released.

Sound complicated? Not for

Kaun. He found it easy, just like all
his academic endeavours.
Few high-profile college athletes
boast his academic achievements. Hes a
two-time member of the Academic All-
Big 12 First Team and a four-time mem-
ber of the Athletic Directors and Big 12
Commissioners Honor Rolls. Kaun is
on track to graduate in the spring with a
degree in computer science.
His supervi-
sor at Perceptive
Software, Hugh
Khan, quickly
discovered Kaun
was as good of a
worker as he was
an athlete.
He never
exhibited a hint
of arrogance one
might expect
from a star ath-
lete, Khan said.
He wanted to be
productive right away. Hes easily
one of the best interns weve had.
And yes, we are using the diagnostic
tool he wrote for us.
Kaun may not have wanted his
fellow employees to see him as a bas-
ketball player, but he often thought of
basketball while working. His boss and
co-workers reminded him of Kansas
coach Bill Self and his teammates. He
had to sit through staff meetings just
like he has to sit through team meet-
ings for the Jayhawks.
The computer software business,
Kaun said, was also all about victories.
You still try to win and beat the
market, he said. You have different
parts working together to come up
with different strategies.
The Perceptive Software internship
doesnt mean Kaun is ready to give up
basketball yet as
a post-college
career. As a 6-
foot-11 center
whos only been
playing basket-
ball since the
10th grade, hes
attracted interest
from the NBA
as a possible sec-
ond round pick.
If Kaun devel-
ops consistency
this season and
improves last years averages of 7.4
points and 4.3 rebounds per game, his
draft status could rise even higher.
I want to stay and play as long as
I can and make as much money as
possible, Kaun said. All this devel-
oping stuff can come later. But I defi-
nitely want to come back to it.

But Avdeeva and Horvath said
that experience playing with each
other was not as important as some
believe it to be. Both bring their
own set of skills to the partnership.
Liza plays very well at the base-
line. I like to move more at the net,
Horvath said.
The tennis team plays five tour-
naments in the fall. In these tour-
naments, players play their own
draw, meaning wins and losses
are not factored into a team score.
Instead they only affect each indi-
vidual players ranking. The team
plays duals with other schools in
the spring season followed by post-
season tournaments.
Avdeeva and Horvath said that
the fall season was just as impor-
tant as the spring, but they will use
these tournaments as a way to gear
up for the spring season.
Our goal for the fall is to win
all our matches and just finish on a
high level, Horvath said.

football fans have been tear gassed
at games for being rowdy, the KU
band stopped traveling to Columbia
after fans threw batteries and
bottles at them and Nebraska fans
have had their tires slashed here in
Lawrence.
As Big 12 play nears, students
should realize many of the fans for
opposing teams in conference are
similar to Kansas fans. Some of
you may travel to Manhattan for
Kansas match up against Kansas
State. Some of you may even ven-
ture as far as College Station to see
Kansas play Texas A&M. When
you travel to one of these confer-
ence schools, take notice of its fans.
Some of them will heckle and taunt
you, which is can be expected. I
hope those of you who travel to
away games do not have to experi-
ence your cars being vandalized or
batteries being thrown at you. Just
remember, even in college football,
the golden rule, treat others as you
would treat yourself, still applies
and it should be taken into consid-
eration for the away team and its
fans.

The University of Kansas swim-
ming and diving team began its first
practice Sept. 10 after completing a
month of preseason workouts. The
teams practice time increased to 20
hours each week, called a 20-hour
mode, which includes water and dry
land training.
We have kind of had a slow,
steady start to the season, coach
Clark Campbell said. We started a
preseason conditioning program on
Aug. 20 and we have been adding a
workout each week.
The Big 12 Relays, held in Ames,
Iowa, is the first competition for
the Jayhawks this season and is the
first test for Kansas. Kansas placed
third at the Big 12 Championship
in March and qualified two swim-
mers for the NCAA Championships
in Minneapolis. This years team
includes 10 new athletes, nine fresh-
men and one transfer student, all of
whom compete for positions on this
seasons travel squad.
We will do some racing in prac-
tice and give people a chance before
we set the squad for the Big 12
Relays, Campbell said.
The swimming and diving season
spans more than a four-month peri-
od and culminates with the NCAA
Championships in Columbus, Ohio.
Campbell said that the team was
planning to enter some athletes in
the Olympic trial cuts at Stanford
in April.
Although the season is still young,
Campbell is looking forward to sev-
eral meets on this years schedule.
He said he always looked forward
to competing at Missouri and was
also really anticipating the Kenyon
Nike Invite and the Houston Diving
Invitational, both held in November.
We call these two meets our
midterm exams, Campbell said.

Everything You Need
than a 3-2, come-from-behind
road victory against your rival?
Early succEss

Everything went easy for
Kansas early. Kansas utilized an
efficient offense to triumph 30-
22 in game one. Five players reg-
istered at least three kills, while
Kaiser was perfect with three kills
on three attempts.
Brown had six assists to go
along with two kills of her own.
Katie Martincich, sophomore set-
ter, added four assists and made
two plays worthy of a second
look. With Kansas leading 23-16,
Martincich fished a ball out of
the net and set the ball perfectly
to Kaiser. Then the sophomore
clinched game one with a rare kill
from settor position. Martincich
found a hole in the middle of the
Missouri defensive and dropped
a ball in to win the game.
Missouris
rEsiliEncE
Kansas held on to a tight lead
for most of game two, and after
one of junior middle blocker/
right side Savannah Noyes eight
kills clipped the line, the Jayhawks
led 17-14. But Missouri won the
next three points and a Weiwen
Wang kill gave Missouri an 18-17
lead. Missouri never trailed again
and closed out the game 30-26
on a kill from sophomore Megan
Wilson.
A stifling Missouri defense
derailed Kansas in game three.
Missouri took control early and
cruised to a 30-20 win. Bechard
said he thought his team lost
its early momentum during its
game-one win.
Sometimes its how you finish
a game, and not how you start,
he said. Even though we won
game won, we were back on our
heels late in the game, and that
carried over to games two and
three.

uhart updatE
Junior middle blocker Natalie
Uhart missed her ninth con-
secutive match with a undis-
closed medical issue. But Coach
Bechard said in a statement on
Monday that he expected Uhart
to recover and return the to the
team.
Right now, its a day-to-day
process, Bechard said.
Uhart last played against Michi-
gan State on Aug. 31.
BordEr showdown
The volleyball team gained the
frst points for Kansas in the
annual Border Showdown be-
tween Kansas and Missouri. Last
year Missouri won the all-sport
showdown 25-14. The Border
Showdown is in its sixth year.

White Sox defeat Royals, 7-0
Game marks 40th multihomer in Thomes career
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ Jim
Thome hit two home runs, Jose
Contreras threw a five-hitter and
the Chicago White Sox defeat-
ed the Kansas City Royals 7-0 on
Wednesday night.
Thome homered with one out in
the third and leading off the fifth,
bringing his career total to 502 and
his season total to 30. Thome, who
had 36 home runs in 141 games
against the Royals, has hit 30 or
more home runs in 11 of the past
12 years.
It was Thomes 40th career multi-
homer game. His previous was Aug.
18 at Seattle.
Contreras (10-16) held the Royals
to one hit a Billy Butler second
inning single in the first five
innings. He did not allow a run-
ner reach second until Jason LaRues
one-out double in the sixth. LaRue
had two of the Royals hits.
Contreras, who won his fourth
straight decision, walked one, while
striking out six in his third career
shutout. His previous was May 10
at Minnesota. The five hits were a
career low for Contreras in a shut-
out.
The veteran right-hander, who
never allowed a runner to reach
third base, was 0-2 with a 7.30 ERA
in his previous two starts this season
against Kansas City.
Brian Bannister (12-9), an
American League Rookie of the Year
candidate who was 7-2 in his previ-
ous 11 starts, was roughed up for six
runs and eight hits, including three
home runs, in five innings.
Bannister also gave up a two-run
homer to Juan Uribe in the fourth.
The White Sox scored two runs
in the first on two hits and a walk.
Paul Konerkos ground out scored
Josh Fields, who had walked and
stopped at third on Thomes dou-
ble. Jermaine Dye singled home
Thome.
The White Sox added a run in
the seventh off left-hander Jorge De
La Rosa when Dyes single scored
Fields.
The Royals have lost 11 of 14 to
drop into the AL Central cellar, a
half-game behind the White Sox.
