DOWNPOUR FLOODS
AREAS OF NEW ORLEANS
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
ccondron@kansan.com
Today students can receive a 10 per-
cent discount on merchandise at KU
Bookstores, including the Web site, as
part of the Touchdown Tuesdays pro-
motion. The promotion, which offers
students a 5 percent discount for each
touchdown the Jayhawks score at the
previous Saturdays game, has been more
popular than ever because of the teams
recent success.
Going into the game against Colorado,
the Jayhawks were ranked third nation-
ally for most points scored per game
with an average of 50.3. The bookstore
discount increases with each touchdown
to a maximum of 30 percent. The pro-
motion includes both home and away
games, and the bookstores already have
had five Tuesdays with 30 percent dis-
counts.
There has been
a lot of response this
year, KU Bookstore
merchandise manager
Kathy Schoenwandt
said. People are excited,
and its because of the
combination of the suc-
cess of the football team
and the high-scoring
games.
Touchdown Tuesdays
began about 10 years ago,
but this is the first year
that the promotion has
been advertised on the scoreboard during
home games.
Schoenwandt said the stores sales had
increased during September.
Its a win-win,
because its good for us
as far as sales, and its
good for the customers,
Schoenwandt said.
Adam Brunsen,
St. Louis senior, said
this was the first year
he had heard about
Touchdown Tuesdays
because it was widely
marketed.
Jackie Miller, Peck
sophomore, said she
was a huge football
fan and bought items
on Touchdown Tuesdays to wear to the
games.
Every time it gets up to 30 percent, you
can usually find me down there buying
something, Miller said.
Valerie Coyle, KU bookstore marketing
coordinator, said that most people bought
clothing on Touchdown Tuesdays, but she
said she had seen people in buying other
items and tailgating tools for the next game.
Its a fun promotion as well, because
it gets people excited for the game, Coyle
said.
The bookstore does get busy on Tuesdays,
but Schoenwandt said the store tried to staff
up as much as possible.
Its pretty much all hands on deck,
Schoenwandt said. A lot of people come
out from behind their desks and go work
the floor.

Two local business owners are urging
football fans to stay in Lawrence for the
Nov. 24 game at Arrowhead Stadium
between Kansas and Missouri.
Jerry and Sue Neverve, owners of
the Red Lyon Tavern, have distributed
handouts outlining a protest against the
Athletics Department for their decision
to move the next two Kansas-Missouri
games to Kansas City, Mo.
The Athletics Department is guar-
anteed at least $1 million in revenue
for each of the contracts two years.
The University could make as much as
$250,000 more each year depending on
attendance. This years game has already
sold out.
The Neverves are organizing a down-
town promotion on the game day that
will offer reduced prices on food and
merchandise to fans showing unused
game tickets.

The Lied Center should be rocking at

takes the stage, thanks to Student Union
Activites.
Stephanie Altoro, SUAs live music coordi-

came from an SUA meeting last semester,
when they discussed plans for this semesters
schedule.
Tickets cost $15 per student and $25 for
the general public and are still available from

The Oread Inn is one step closer to final
approval.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning
Commission voted 9-1 on Monday to
approve the proposal for the seven-story
hotel to the City Commission.
If the proposal is passed, the Crossing, Yello
Sub, Beat the Bookstore and Big Burrito would
be demolished. The architect of the project
and members of the Planning Commission
said students would have enough entertain-
ment options at Oread Inn. Students inter-
viewed at The Crossing disagreed.
The City Commission will likely not
make its decision on the project until at
least next month.

College prices, private student loans rise
The cost of college at four-year pub-
lic schools rose by 6.6 percent this year
faster than the economys overall infla-
tion rate, and faster than the increase in
financial aid.
At four-year private colleges, the increase
was slightly less: 6.3 percent. But public
two-year colleges had the lowest increase in
tuition and fees, allowing prices to rise only
4.2 percent.
Few students pay the full listed price at
any of these institutions because of finan-
cial aid. But the net price at four-year public
universities, which takes financial aid into
account, rose to $2,580, about $160 more
than last year.
Students also borrowed more money
from private student lenders last year, with
nonfederal loans increasing by 12 percent
to $14.5 billion. Private loans accounted for
24 percent of student financial aid.

How long have you taught at
University of Kansas? More than
30 years.
What courses do you teach? I
teach a general psychology class. The
unique thing is that there are 1,000
students in the class. I also teach 50
students in honors general psychol-
ogy and 700 students in abnormal
psychology.
Where did you attend col-
lege? Undergraduate at Northern
Illinois University, graduate school
at Northwestern University, and
clinical training at Harvard Medical
School.
What clubs/organizations were
you involved with? I was a varsity
swimmer for four years. I also was
very involved in drama.
What inspired you to become a
teacher? Originally, I wanted to be a
clinical psychologist in practice, but
I discovered that I was much more
interested in research and teaching.
I had a very influential teacher in
undergraduate, and I decided that
I wanted to do what he was doing.
Could you talk about the psy-
chology textbook your wrote?
Ive written a couple of them. The
one that gets the most attention
is titled Abnormal Psychology.
There are four editions of it. It
was first published in 1990. Im
currently working on a new edition.
It was estimated that it was used by
about 400,000 students. Im working
on the new edition now, as well as
a trade book, which is sort of like a
Barnes and Noble book.
Where are you from? Chicago.
I was born and raised just a short
distance from Wrigley Field.
How did you get to the
University? I never intended to
stay here. I came from a think tank
in Princeton. I planned to stay here
for two years to finish some research
with a colleague. One project led to
another and all of a sudden 30 years
had gone by.
What are some of your hobbies?
I love exercise and distance running,
and I love cooking.
What kind of music do you lis-
ten to? Classical, string quartets.
Who was the last band you saw
in concert? Long Tall Marsha Ball
down at the old emporium in Kansas
City.
Do you have an iPod? I work
often times on a treadmill and I
always think, Ive got to go down
and buy one. I should have one, but
I dont.
Do you have a favorite television
program? Something on public tele-
vision, not really though.
What is your favorite breakfast
food? An omelet. I cant have them
too frequently though because I have
high cholesterol, and I have to watch
the eggs.
What is your favorite restau-
rant in Lawrence? I would have to
say Pachamamas. Its edgy, classic
American food.
Is there a sport you enjoy?
Swimming. I was a swimmer in high
school and college, and I still do it
today.
Who is your favorite author?
Oliver Sacks, a neurologist who
writes about interesting, strange
neurological disorders.
Where is your favorite spot to
travel? Up until the dollar fell like a
stone it was France, but I also like to
mountain climb in Colorado.

Student Union Activities will
bring the indie folk-rock music scene
to Lawrence at 7:30 tonight when
Bright Eyes hits the Lied Center
stage.
Stephanie Altoro, Castle Hill, N.Y.,
junior and SUA live music coordina-
tor, said the idea to bring Bright Eyes
to the University stemmed from a
meeting of the SUA live music com-
mittee last semester. She said the
band was happy about the gig.
Bands know what Lawrence is
about, Altoro said. They know it
can do a lot for upcoming artists
and that Lawrence has a big music
scene.
The band consists of singer/gui-
tarist Conor Oberst, multi-instru-
mentalist Mike Mogis and Nate
Walcott, with additional rotating
members who play alongside the
trio. They have released 11 albums
since 1998 and have had some main-
stream success. Theyve performed
on both the Tonight Show with Jay
Leno and Late Show with David
Letterman, had a song featured in
the film Knocked Up, and their
songs Lua and Take It Easy each
took the top spot on Billboards Top
100 singles chart in 2004.
Josh Adams, Overland Park fresh-
man, said he thought the band was
a perfect choice because the groups
music was original enough to bring a
lot of different people to the show.
I like Bright Eyes because they
have a certain diversity within their
music that makes it stand out,
Adams said. I like to be able to
listen to a band that doesnt get old
over time. Bright Eyes is a band that
is always changing their style.
Altoro said the group had a lot of
great music to offer to students, even
ones who werent necessarily fans of
the band.
I really didnt know much about
them, Altoro said. I started listen-
ing to them because I was curious,
and they are great. The lead singer is
a wonderful songwriter.
Jason Wiley, Topeka sophomore,
said he was looking forward to the
show.
They are a great band and just
sort of starting to become well-
known, so its nice to see them get a
chance here, he said.
Tickets for tonights show cost
$15 for students and $25 for the gen-
eral public. Tickets are still available
at the SUA box office.

In Oread Inn, Tom Jennings, a
planning commission member, sees
a new, student-friendly future com-
plete with spaces for greek func-
tions, wedding receptions and, cof-
fee shop.
Patrons at The Crossing dont.
They see a tall building with no tra-
dition, life or excitement.
I would never go there, Dallas
freshman and Crossing patron
Zachary Taylor said.
Both visions could soon become
a reality. The Lawrence-Douglas
County Planning Commission voted
9-1 in two decisions to recommend
approval to the City Commission
for the project Monday night. It
will have to go before the City
Commission before it is formally
approved.
Oread Inn is a proposed seven-
story hotel slated to be built at 12th
and Oread streets. If the proposal is
passed, the building that houses The
Crossing, Beat the Bookstore, Big
Burrito and the now-closed Yello
Sub would be torn down.
Certainly The Crossing isnt a
bad place, lead commissioner Grant
Eichhorn said, but I dont think
theyre going to miss it.
Oread Inn wouldnt just be a
hotel. The structure would include
a ballroom that Jennings said would
be a good place for sororities and
fraternities to have formals and par-
ties. Parents of students would be
able to stay for parents weekends,
he said.
The plan also calls for retail space
on the lower levels of the structure.
Paul Werner, architect for Oread Inn,
hasnt talked to specific businesses
yet, but said the space could include
coffee shops and restaurants.
The hotel and all the extra fea-
tures also mean jobs for students,
Jennings said.
I think this replaces money spent
here in a much more positive way,
Jennings said.
Getting students to think the
same might be a little more dif-
ficult. Yello Sub, which has been
closed since July, The Crossing, Big
Burrito and Beat the Bookstore are
all places where students spend time
and money.
The Crossing had been a main-
stay at the north end of campus for
years. Taylor and Adrian Levsky,
Glastonbury, Conn., freshman, have
been coming to The Crossing at least
once a week since school started.
Both said the place had helped them
meet people, something they said
was important because they came to
Kansas from far away. Levsky said
coffee shops and restaurants couldnt
replace their current hangout.
Theres plenty of places to eat
around here, he said. You could
go to Big Burrito or Massachusetts
Street.
Students such as Levksy and
Taylor might not have to worry yet.
Although the Planning Commission
issued a formal recommendation,
commission members still ques-
tioned its 95-foot height and the
possible parking problems. Last
month, the Historic Resources
Commission voted unanimously
against the project because it didnt
meet the standards necessary for
structures built in the vicinity of
historic districts.
The City Commission will likely
give the final decision about Oread
Inn next month at the earliest.

natural disaster
Fueled by 70 MPH winds,
wildfre destroys 600 homes
BY ALLISON HOFFMAN
ASSOcIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO Wildfires blown
by fierce desert winds Monday
reduced hundreds of Southern
California homes to ashes, forced
hundreds of thousands of people
to flee and laid a hellish, spidery
pattern of luminous orange over
the drought-stricken region.
At least one person was killed
and dozens were injured. More
than 600 homes burned, nearly
130 in one mountain area alone,
and thousands of other buildings
were threatened by more than a
dozen blazes covering at least 520
square miles.
Soon after nightfall, fire officials
announced that 500 homes and
100 commercial properties had
been destroyed by a fire in north-
ern San Diego County that explod-
ed to 145,000 acres, said Roxanne
Provaznik, a spokeswoman for the
California Department of Forestry.
The fire injured seven firefighters
and one civilian, and was spread-
ing unchecked.
Firefighters who lost valu-
able time trying to persuade stub-
born homeowners to leave had
their work cut out for them as
winds gusting to 70 mph scattered
embers onto dry brush, spawn-
ing spot fires. California officials
pleaded for help from fire depart-
ments in other states.
A lot of people are going to lose
their homes today, San Diego Fire
Capt. Lisa Blake had said earlier.

Two local business owners are
urging football fans to Stay Home
and Play for the Nov. 24 game
at Arrowhead Stadium between
Kansas and Missouri.
Jerry and Sue Neverve, own-
ers of the Red Lyon Tavern, 944
Massachusetts St., handed out fly-
ers before Kansas game against
Florida International outlining a
protest against
the Athletics
Depar t ment
for its deci-
sion to move
the next
two Kansas-
Missouri foot-
ball games to
Kansas City,
Mo. The couple
is organizing a
downtown pro-
motion on the day of the game
that will offer fans showing unused
game tickets vastly reduced prices
on food and merchandise.
My business is small it wont
be made or broken by this, Sue
Neverve said. We didnt look at
it like that. We looked at it like a
community. We consider KU a part
of that community. There are so
many losses here. Plus, I want to
go to Memorial Stadium and watch
the game.
The main loss is an estimated
$713,000 that Kansas, Douglas
County and the city of Lawrence
will sustain because of the venue
change, according to the Lawrence
Journal-World. David Darling, a
retired Kansas State University
economist, was commissioned by
the Lawrence Journal-World in
April to do the estimation.
Associate Athletic Director Jim
Marchiony said the prime reason
for moving the game was financial.
The Athletics Department is guar-
anteed at least $1 million in revenue
for each of the contracts two years.
Marchi ony
said the actual
number could
be worth up to
$250,000 more
than that each
year, depending
on attendance.
This years game
is sold out.
Mar c hi ony
called Darlings
estimate a
guestimate.
That wasnt based on any kind
of facts at all, Marchiony said. So
on one hand, you have a guaran-
teed $1 million to the KU Athletics
Department, against a figure that is
just a projection.
Marchiony said Kansas added a
nonconference home game to the
schedule to ensure seven games
in Lawrence, tied for the most in
the schools history. Darlings study
estimated the loss as the difference
between a Kansas-Missouri game
in Lawrence and the replacement
nonconference game.
Before the season, people would
have said that Missouri is different
than bringing in one of these teams,
but we had in excess of 40,000
people at each of our nonconfer-
ence games, Marchiony said.
Another consideration,
Marchiony said, was Kansas Citys
60,000 Kansas alumni.
The Neverves have been
Williams Fund members and sea-
son ticket holders for almost 20
years. Sue Neverve said without
knowing the time of kickoff, which
wont be announced until at least
two weeks before the game, busi-
nesses couldnt make formal plans
for the promotion.
Im sure there will be a lot of
people that will go to Arrowhead
because they will feel they would
let the team down if they didnt,
Sue Neverve said. Then there will
be other people who wont be in the
stands. I have heard from a lot of
season ticket holders that said they
wont be there.
Marchiony said the Athletics
Department understood the senti-
ments of concerned business own-
ers but said they expected hundreds,
if not thousands, of Kansas fans in
restaurants and bars in Lawrence
on the day of the game eating and
watching the game in public.
Marchiony said Kansas Athletics
would wait before deciding if it was
beneficial to attempt to extend the
two year agreement.

more than a week apart.
One reported incident oc-
curred Oct. 12, but the report
wasnt released until Monday. Ac-
cording to the report, the woman
said a man had sex with her
without consent. Police said the
suspect was an acquaintance of
the woman. The suspect was not
arrested, and the KU Public Safety
Ofce was forwarding the case
to the Douglas County District
Attorney.
The other reported rape oc-
curred early Sunday morning.
Police said the suspect was an
acquaintance of the woman. Po-
lice also did not arrest the suspect
and gave the case to the Douglas
County District Attorney.

College tuition rises again
NatioN BUSiNESS
BY jUSTiN POPe
ASSOciATeD PReSS
The price of college again rose
faster than the inflation rate this
year, climbing 6.6 percent at four-
year public schools and outstrip-
ping increases in the financial aid
that lowered what most students
actually pay.
The latest increases, reported
Monday by the
College Board,
bring the aver-
age list price of
four-year public
universities to
$6,185 this year,
up $381 from
2006-2007. At
four-year pri-
vate colleges,
tuition and fees
rose 6.3 percent
to $23,712.
Public two-
year colleges which educate
about half of American college
students again got the best
marks for keeping a lid on price
increases. Their average price rose
4.2 percent to $2,361. Accounting
for aid, their average net cost is
only $320 per year.
For too long, parents have gri-
maced and borne the high price
of college because they presumed
that a higher education is key to
their childs success in todays
economy, said James Boyle,
president of the group College
Parents of America, in a state-
ment on the report. Surely, the
day will come soon when
parents say enough is enough.
The published price is not
the real price for many students,
thanks to financial aid, but the
net price is rising too. On aver-
age, accounting for grants and tax
breaks, the net price for full-time
students at four-year public uni-
versities this year is $2,580. Thats
about $160 more than last year.
At private colleges, net cost
this year averages $14,400 up
$638 from a year ago.
To make up the difference, stu-
dents typically borrow as much as
allowed from the federal govern-
ment, but then turn to private
student loans. A decade ago, non-
federal loans accounted for about
6 percent of student aid, but last
year they were 24 percent.
The rate of growth in private
borrowing slowed last year. But
that was at least partly because of
new rules allowing graduates stu-
dents to take out PLUS loans from
the federal government, reducing
their need for private loans. For
unde r g r a du-
ates, private
borrowing still
rose 12 percent
to $14.5 bil-
lion.
I n c l u d i n g
room and board
for students
living on cam-
pus, charges
for public four-
year colleges
were $13,589,
or 5.9 percent higher than last
year. At private four-year schools,
average total charges come to
$32,307.
G e o r g e
Wa s h i n g t o n
University in
Wa s h i n g t o n ,
D.C. recently
attracted atten-
tion for becom-
ing the first
major univer-
sity with a pub-
lished price,
including room
and board, of
more than $50,000.
However, the percentage
of college-goers who pay such
large sums is fairly small. Fewer
than 10 percent of students even
attend colleges with tuition and
fees higher than $30,000, accord-
ing to the College Board, and
many of those students receive
financial aid. About 56 percent
of students at four-year colleg-
es attend schools listing a price
under $10,000, and about one-
third attend schools charging
under $6,000.
The College Boards report
does not try to explain why pric-
es keep going up, though Sandy
Baum, an economist with the
group and at Skidmore College,
points out that because of ris-
ing demand for higher education,
more state appropriations have
not translated into more money
spent on each student.
The report comes as Congress
is in the early stages of con-
sidering a proposal that could
require some colleges with large
endowments to spend more of
their savings to keep tuition
down. Colleges call the idea mis-
guided and say it wouldnt solve
the underlying economic issues
explaining the price increases.
For the first time, the College
Board report includes the rap-
idly growing sector of for-profit
education, which now caters to
about 8 percent of students. Their
average prices are also rising rap-
idly to $12,089, up 6.2 percent
from last year.
Peter McPherson, president
of the National Association of
State Universities and Land Grant
C o l l e g e s ,
issued a state-
ment saying
that leaders
of Americas
public research
u n i v e r s i t i e s
continue to
be concerned
about t he
impact that the
cost of attend-
ing col l eges
has on students
and their families. But, he said,
the average net price of $2,600 at
four-year schools remains excel-
lent value.
That contention is support-
ed in a recent paper by Mark
Kantrowitz, publisher of the
financial aid Web site finaid.org.
He tried to estimate how much
a four-year college degree would
have to cost before it would no
longer be a good investment,
given the $1.2 million increase
in expected lifetime earnings that
comes with a bachelors degree.
His answer: about $520,000 or
$130,000 a year.
Ive heard from a lot of season
ticket holders that said they
wont be there.

Everything You Need
You don't have to be a math major to know that one is the loneliest number.
That my father WAS one only drove home the irony that it took twenty fve years of
relational solitude and self-imposed (or not) celibacy before he went after the one sure
thing.
It took six years of school together before he worked up the nerve to talk to her,
and another four months before he found the balls to ask her out.
It took three rejections before she fnally caved in, in what was probably the one
millionth pity date in the history of time.
But it only took one date for her to realize that there were approximately zero other
people she could imagine spending the rest of her life with.
As my father has always told me, the numbers don't lie. For years, I would smugly
point out that that was because the numbers can't actually speak. But when he lays it
out for me like that?
The math looks pretty damn good.

NEW ORLEANS The Army
Corps of Engineers closed a gate
on a suburban canal as heavy rains
lashed the flood-prone city, raising
fears that climbing waters threatened
to top the walls holding them back.
After more than 8 inches of rain
fell on parts of New Orleans by
late afternoon, Mayor Ray Nagin
shut City Hall early, and schools
also closed. People were asked to
stay indoors until the flood potential
subsided. More rain was expected
overnight.
The Harvey Canal in Jefferson
Parish was one of several waterways
in the area placed under new safety
guidelines after Hurricane Katrinas
flood waters breached two New
Orleans canals in August 2005, caus-
ing catastrophic flooding.
The corps has worked to strength-
en the canal, about five miles from
downtown, but engineers worried
that water being driven into it might
lead to flooding. The area around
the canal includes homes and busi-
nesses.
Unlike the canal walls that broke
during Katrina, the walls on the
Harvey Canal are not considered
at threat of being breached by ris-
ing waters, said Chris Accardo, the
corps operations chief.
The gates were closed to mini-
mize seepage and overtopping, he
said.
Engineers want to be sure that
we dont put pressure on the flood
walls, said Amanda Jones, a corps
spokeswoman.
Water accumulated quickly
in some older neighborhoods, a
reminder of the citys vulnerability
to storms and reliance on a compli-
cated system of pumps and canals
for drainage.
Water nearly got into the Prytania
Theater in the Uptown neighbor-
hood, a cultural icon and favorite
refuge for Ignatius J. Reilly, the anti-
hero in John Kennedy Tooles novel
A Confederacy of Dunces, said Eric
Ramstead, the theaters manager.
Robert Ricks, a lead forecaster
with the National Weather Service
in Slidell, said that a flood watch
was extended to midnight Monday
and that some areas could expect 10
inches or more of rain.
Despite the flooding potential,
the rain also offered relief to parts of
Louisiana that have been abnormally
dry. Until Mondays drenching, rain-
fall for New Orleans was about 11
inches below normal for the year.
The scattered showers and thun-
derstorms also came as a blessing
to other drought-stricken areas of
the Southeast on Monday. Still, cli-
matologists said it would take more
than a few scattered storms to pull
the region out of a record drought.
Rainfall in Atlanta is almost 17
inches below normal for the year,
and state officials have warned that
a north Georgia reservoir that sup-
plies more than 3 million people
with water could be depleted within
three months.
Almost one-third of the Southeast
is covered by an exceptional
drought the worst drought cat-
egory.

INDIANAPOLIS A tire blow-
out may have caused a van carrying
passengers from an Amish commu-
nity to flip over on a highway, killing
three children and two adults, police
said Monday. Eleven others were
injured in the crash.
Police said no other vehicles were
involved Sunday when the south-
bound van veered out of control
on Interstate 69, entered a grassy
median and overturned, coming to
rest in the northbound lanes near
Muncie, about 50 miles northeast of
Indianapolis. The roof of the vehicle
was torn away.
Witnesses saw the rear left tire
on the van blow out before the crash
occurred, and police said in a state-
ment that a preliminary investiga-
tion of the tires confirmed those
observations.
It was not clear at first how many
people had been riding in the van,
as survivors gave conflicting counts
of 15, 16 or 17 passengers, Indiana
State Police Sgt. Rod Russell said.
Police and other rescuers searched
for additional injured people until it
was clear all people in the van were
accounted for.
Its controlled chaos, is what it is,
when you have a situation like this,
Russell said.
The victims hailed from Amish
communities in Indiana, police said.
Troopers believed that the van may
have been taking people home after
a church function.
Amish people generally shun
modern conveniences but some-
times enlist non-Amish as drivers.
Traffic in both directions was
stopped as authorities used the high-
way to land medical helicopters.
Northbound lanes of I-69 did not
reopen until more than four hours
after the crash. Southbound lanes
reopened about two hours after the
crash.
Susie Ingras saw the crash and
went to help the victims.
We got up there, and we had
three bodies that were just right by
us, she said. Its just heartbreaking,
especially them being so young.
The crash occurred about 20 miles
from the site of an April 2006 colli-
sion between a Taylor University van
and a semi-trailer rig that killed four
students and a university employee.
The crash resulted in widespread
attention after an identity mixup in
which a woman, originally believed
to have died in the accident, turned
out to be just injured.
In April, four Amish riding in
a pickup were among eight people
killed in a crash on the Indiana Toll
Road.

I
ts always a gamble when
I tell someone I dont eat
meat, because I can never
anticipate their reaction. Some-
times Im met with blank stares.
Other times, its blatant criti-
cisms. Occasionally, its a, Me
too!
Ive been a vegetarian for al-
most six years. It all happened
rather suddenly, when I just
stopped eating meat one day in
the 9th grade. In my small high
school, I was one of probably
three or four vegetarians. When
I came to KU, it was like a fam-
ily reunion where I met all my
long-lost vegetarian relatives,
because, trust me, I dont have
any real relatives anywhere in
my family tree that are vegetar-
ians.
I think that Lawrence, in
general, is what I call veggie-
friendly, or convenient for veg-
etarians. I still remember once,
after frst coming to KU, that I
ordered a taco salad with beans.
The waitress said, Okay, sure.
Now, the salsa on that has beef
favoring in it, so would you
like to sub that too? I wanted
to hug her. Most places arent
that conscious. The Brellas in
the Underground is also a good
place; they will wipe the prep
board clean and have everyone
change their gloves if you order
the Mega Vega Wrap.
However, not everyone is as
understanding of vegetarianism.
I was eating at the steak house
where my friend works, and one
of her co-workers found out I
didnt eat meat. He came over
and started asking me all these
probing questions about why I
didnt like meat. I told him that
yes, I do like meat. I just choose
not to eat it because I think its
wrong to kill animals. He then
proceeded to tell me that I
should just take a bite of my
friends steak, and that would
start introducing meat into
my diet. Slow was the way to
go, according to him. When
I told him I had no intention
of reintroducing meat into
my life, ever, he just quietly
started at me, simply uttering,
But why? Why? over and
over.
I understand that veg-
etarianism is not for everyone:
though if I had it my way, every-
one would be leaf eaters. How-
ever, that doesnt mean meat
eaters cant be respectful of
vegetarians. Its not funny when
someone makes derogatory
comments about being a vege-
tarian, like the Kansas City bar-
becue restaurant Famous Daves
bumper stickers that read, We
like vegetarians. They make us
laugh.
Well, I have news for you,
Famous Daves. Your offen-
sive comments arent making
any vegetarians laugh. Even if
they dont respect the lifestyle,
the least that carnivores can
do is appreciate the dedication
it takes to undergo such a life-
style. I mean, every time I see
my boyfriend eat a steak, I could
say, Can you hear the cows cry-
ing? or Think about the poor
little sad eyes of the cow that
youre eating. But I dont do
that. His decision is his, and I
respect it. I dont make a habit
of hassling people who tell me,
I eat meat. But, somehow, the
road doesnt go both ways.
I dont know why other peo-
ple fnd vegetarianism funny, but
I certainly dont fnd my lifestyle
funny and neither do other veg-
etarians. Please dont let PETA
fanatics or other extremists rule
your view of what a vegetarian
is. Im not going to throw red
paint on your fur coat (though
I will inwardly scoff at your in-
sensitivity) or berate you for
eating meat. All I want is a little
understanding, and I will send it
your way in return.
Gentry is a Kansas City ju-
nior in English and pre-medi-

T
he scene is familiar to
many a Jayhawk by
now. Dramatic music
begins to play, thousands of peo-
ple stand up on their seats and,
at Big Jays urging, begin rattling
their keys in the air. Why this is,
Im not entirely sure, though I
have considered the possibility
that return men are easily dis-
tracted by shiny things. Con-
tinuing on, the kicker runs up,
the music and the keys stop, the
ball is sent fying through the air,
and the fans scream an obscen-
ity, at the top of their lungs. Un-
derstandably, some people fnd
this offensive. A lot of families
bring kids to games, and they
dont want their children ex-
posed to foul language. Not
to mention the return man
probably likes his head right
where it is.
It is the fear of being offen-
sive that has led some people
to call for the end of the cry
which has marked every
kickoff of every home foot-
ball game this season. It is also
what prompted ESPN to avoid
putting students wearing Muck
Fizzou shirts on television last
year during a basketball game.
Both of these events have raised
the question of drawing a line
between showing school spirit
and being downright malicious.
What some people dont seem to
understand is that, when set in a
competitive atmosphere like a
sporting event, a little insanity is
the natural way for many people
to channel their enthusiasm
for their school. People spend
exorbitant amounts of money
to travel around the country to
see their teams play, they dress
babies in school regalia despite
the fact that theyd probably
cry in terror if confronted with
the school mascot and some of
them slather body paint all over
their torsos that they would oth-
erwise keep covered up for fear
of being laughed at. In this sort
of environment, very few people
will think twice about shouting
an obscenity, or calling for the
ball-carrier to be brutalized in
some creative fashion.
When in high school, I wrote
a column, in the aftermath of a
somewhat rowdy home basket-
ball game where many faculty
members complained about stu-
dent conduct, about the impor-
tance of not regulating school
spirit. If students are told how
to express their love of their
school and its athletic programs
in a certain way, it really cant be
considered a legitimate display
of enthusiasm. Yes, that means
the risk of offending people is
run, but that comes with the ter-
ritory. Ill repeat my point that,
placed in direct competition
with other schools, people will
resort to potentially petty ac-
tions, like wearing T-shirts with
juvenile slogans or shouting
profanities. The incident with
ESPN last spring worried many,
but it strikes me as unlikely that
KU fans will not be shown on
TV again because some of them
wear a certain shirt. If a friend
of mine could get on camera at
every home game in a Scooby-
Doo costume, producers can
fnd ways around showing
mean-spirited clothing. And if a
chant offends you, try thinking
of an alternative. Maybe Rob
his grandmother, or something
else that will probably leave
the other team too confused to
concentrate. Please, just come
down off the high horse and let
us enjoy the game.

O
n Oct. 16, the Law-
rence Journal-World
reported that Con-
gress, in response to constitu-
ents anger over increasing tu-
ition costs, launched a proposal
that would require universities
with more than $1 billion (which
includes KU) in endowment and
positive annual returns to spend
a certain portion of their funds
each year. The Journal-World
cited KUs rate of return last
year at 19.3 percent; the school
spent 5.625 percent of total en-
dowment. Meanwhile, tuition
has risen 66 percent in the past
fve years.
Rosita McCoy, KU Endow-
ments senior vice president
for communications, said that
it would be unwise to increase
spending when returns are high,
because money would not be
available during down times.
Endowment fgures have pe-
ripheral benefts as well. U.S.
News & World Report uses
them when the publication an-
nually ranks universities.
At current rates, KU will make
roughly $193 million this year.
At current rates, it will spend
$56 million. This yields a tax-
free proft of $137 million thats
ostensibly waiting for a rainy
day. With tuition increasing at
its current rate, its raining. Di-
vided among currently enrolled
students, this is a potential tu-
ition and/or fees credit of over
$4,500 per student. Endowment
could provide substantial fnan-
cial support to students without
even touching the principal of
the fund.
Its understandable and rea-
sonable for KU Endowment to
seek protection against down
years.
While Congress measure is
targeted specifcally at increas-
ing tuition costs, theres no rea-
son why endowment couldnt
be put towards practical campus
improvements. Many donors,
especially on the high end of giv-
ing, earmark funds for specifc
projects such as professorships
or buildings. Its understandable
that donors want name recogni-
tion for their generosity (and it
is generous).
However, it seems ironic
that while students suffer the
appalling state of desks in vari-
ous buildings, vanity projects
abound on campus whose
presence is not even remotely
utilitarian. KU may come to in-
creasingly rely on endowment
assets as state funding declines;
as such, donations for practical
improvements are imperative.
Imagine hundreds of new
desks, unmarred by graffti,
across campus. In the upper left
corner of each desk would be
a plaque indicating that, This
desk was donated by ___. Sta-
tions in the various electronics
labs may have individual donors
recognized with nameplates
at each workspace. Incoming
freshmen and upperclassmen
can receive more named schol-
arships.
These are ways for donors to
explicitly beneft students ev-
eryday lives on campus, while
retaining the recognition usual-
ly gained through higher-profle
earmarks.
Until Congress measure pass-
es (if it does), theres no reason
to think that Endowment will
increase its current spending. As
such, the impetus is on donors
to mandate how they want their
money to be spent. While it may
be tempting to earmark funds
for aesthetic projects, the real
gift could be something a little
less glamorous and a lot more

It isnt even November and
already Kansas sports fans are trav-
eling en mass to see their favorite
team. A 7-0 start to the football
season has reinvigorated a recently
apathetic fan base, making it no
longer glib to fanatically follow the
perennially ranked basketball team.
Kansas sold about 1,600 tickets to
Saturdays game against Colorado,
but the Athletics Department esti-
mated more than 3,000 Jayhawk
fans were at the contest. Colorado
reported 51,940 in attendance.
As s o c i a t e
A t h l e t i c s
Director Jim
Marchiony said
the teams suc-
cess had spurred
ticket sales in
all venues. The
Jayhawks have
sold out their
Nov. 3 con-
test against
Nebraska and
the Nov. 23 game
in Arrowhead Stadium against
Missouri.
Marchiony said there had been a
run on tickets to Kansas last home
game Nov. 16 against Iowa State and
the Athletics Department expected
more of that this week.
Kansas football fans have been
terrific for a long time, Marchiony
said. All it takes to get that base
growing is more wins. Coach
Mangino, his staff and the players
are proving that, so I expect the
crowds to keep getting bigger.
Kate Jayne, Park Ridge, Ill., senior,
has seen all seven KU games in per-
son after traveling to Manhattan
and Boulder. She said she could
envision a time
when Jayhawk
football fans
would fol-
low the team
with the same
voracity as the
schools basket-
ball fans.
I could def-
initely see that
ha pp e ni ng ,
Jayne said. It
will take time.
This year will definitely make an
impact on next year and beyond.
At Colorado, the pro-Kansas
crowd, although only a percentage
of total patrons, was emphatic. The
Rock Chalk chant showered Folsom
Field from different pockets of the
stadium as the Jayhawks knelt the
ball and bled the remainder of the
clock to hold onto a 19-14 victory.
Kansas fans then sang the Alma
Mater as dejected Colorado players
sulked from the field.
Sarah Hogan, an Eagan, Minn.,
senior who also traveled to both
Manhattan and Boulder, said she
was surprised by the large contin-
gent of Jayhawk fans because of the
long drive.
If we would have played like
we did last year, we wouldnt have
driven eight hours to watch them
play, Hogan said.
Hogan already could see the per-
ils of apathy creeping into another
teams fan bases. After experienc-
ing nonstop scorn in Manhattan,
the senior said she was only mildly
bothered in Boulder.
We got harassed by Colorado
fans, although they were a lot
friendlier than K-State fans, Hogan
said. We talked to some CU fans
the night before, and I think they
were expecting to lose anyway.
With success comes expectation.
The Jayhawks will be road favorites
again on Saturday as they travel to
College Station to take on Texas
A&M. Marchiony said the Athletics
Department had sold about 1,000
tickets as of Monday morning.

BY MIKE STOBBE
ASSOcIATED PRESS
ATLANTA Drunks swimming
in gin, smokers in body bags and
dopers living with their parents deep
into adulthood. Those are among
the public service ads shown in the
past.
But the governments new
batch of obesity spots declines
even to show a fat person, let
alone wag a finger for gluttony
or sloth.
No one is advocating public ser-
vice announcements that ridicule
fat people; experts say such spots
would do more harm than good.
But critics complain that the three
new spots premiering this month
are a wimpy attack on the costly
and deadly explosion of obesity in
America.
Its so namby-pamby I think
people will shrug it off, said
Michael Jacobson of the Center for
Science in the Public Interest, a
Washington-based advocacy orga-
nization.
The three new spots are the lat-
est in a series created by the Ad
Council and the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services,
which try to tackle the nations
obesity problem with ads that
encourage healthy snacking and
taking the stairs.
Creators of the Small Steps
campaign, funded by the govern-
ment at more than $1.5 million
a year, cite survey data for 467
adults which showed those who
saw the ads did more walking
and adopted some other healthy
habits than those who didnt see
the ads.
But critics say such a survey is
hardly proof of success, and the
nations fat problem is clearly get-
ting worse more than one in
three U.S. children are overweight
or obese, and two in three adults
are.
I think Small Steps is a
euphemism for small vision, said
Kelly Brownell, director of Yale
Universitys Center for Eating and
Weight Disorders.
The Small Steps campaign began
in 2004. It was created for free by
McCann Erickson New York, the ad
agency that created the MasterCard
Priceless campaign. Six TV spots
have aired so far, all professionally
produced and humorous, highlight-
ing tips to healthier living.
This month, three more spots
joined the rotation, along with a
multimedia campaign focusing on
exercise. The new anti-obesity TV
spots show trim or slightly pudgy
people noticing blobs of fat on
a hotel room floor or in a the-
ater. They comment that someone
must have lost it by eating healthy
snacks.
The spots creators say they
learned in focus groups that many
people are intimidated hopeless,
even about the sustained changes
needed to slim down.
So many people, when they
think about losing weight, see it as
a Sisyphean task I have to lose
weight but I cant fit it into my busy
schedule, said Peggy Conlon, presi-
dent of the Ad Council.
The ads offer easily achievable
tips that empower people to make
positive changes, she added.
HealtH
TV spots target obesity,
promote healthy habits
Critics say ads are too indirect, should show
overweight people for more dramatic effect
Winning record
prompts recent
rise in KU crowds
at away games
It will take time. This year will
defnitely make an impact on
next year and beyond.

Critics of Kansas nonconference football
schedule might get some off time next year.
The 2008 schedule will send the Jayhawks to
South Florida to play the BCS No. 10-ranked
Bulls.
Kansas also will have home dates
against Louisiana Tech, a returning Florida
International team and a game against FCS
Sam Houston State led by former Oklahoma
quarterback Rhett Bomar
The season will open on Aug. 30 against
Florida International. KU Senior Associate
Athletics Director Larry Keating cut a deal
two years ago to secure two games against
the Golden Panthers, in 2007 and 2008, for
$250,000 each. KU already had canceled a
2006 game between the teams.
The next week will bring Louisiana Tech
to Lawrence for a $600,000 one-game guar-
antee. Keating originally called the Bulldogs
with a proposal of a home-and-home, which
is an agreement that requires a trip of both
teams.
Louisiana Tech is a pretty good name and
that isnt a big trip, Keating said. Believe it
or not, I was shocked they said we would
rather play a guarantee game, asking how
much could you give us, rather than play a
home-and-home. We had to make a big deci-
sion to even say we are willing to go home-
and-home with them.
The third game of the year will send the
Jayhawks to Tampa, Fla., for a rematch with
South Florida. The Jayhawks beat the Bulls
13-7 last year in Lawrence.
Keating and Associate Athletics Director
Jim Marchiony expect the Sept. 13 game
in Raymond James Stadium, a home the
Bulls share with the NFLs Buccaneers, to
be nationally televised. The Jayhawks will
complete a home-and-home contract agreed
to in 2005. Kansas will receive $150,000
the same figure the University paid South
Florida in 2006.
Kansas will cap the nonconference slate
with a $285,000 payment to Sam Houston
State. The last time Kansas played Bomar,
the then-Oklahoma freshman threw for 206
yards and a touchdown in a 19-3 Sooner vic-
tory in 2005 at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Big 12 schedule will switch South
division opponents. Baylor, Oklahoma State
and Texas A&M move out of the schedule.
Home games against Texas and Texas Tech
and a road game in Norman, Okla., against
Oklahoma move into the schedule.
Keating said he wanted to complete the
2009, 2010, 2011 and possibly the 2012
nonconference schedules by the end of the
football season.
Kansas has two finalized contracts cur-
rently. The Jayhawks will play Duke during
the 2009-2010 season as part of a home-and-
home deal. Kansas also agreed to a four-year
series with Rice, which will include two
home and two road games from 2010-2013.
Keating said he kept recruiting in mind
when scheduling.
Houston is a big recruiting area for us,
Keating said about the location of Rice.
Thats the thing about playing away. South
Florida why is that a good game? Because
we get to go to Florida, which is recruiting
territory. Its the same in basketball. We try
to go to the West Coast, and we try to go to
Chicago.
Keating said he talked to coach Mark
Mangino about future match-ups before
signing contracts.
Keating would like to create a formula for
the Jayhawks nonconference schedule each
year: playing two teams from BCS confer-
ences, one home and one on the road, and
paying one-game guarantees for home dates
against one lower-tier FBS team and an FCS
team.

The hardest day of boot camp had just
gotten under way. Lungs were burning, legs
were aching and the players werent finish-
ing their sprints quickly enough.
Then, the group rallied.
Some of the guys brought everyone togeth-
er, freshman center Cole Aldrich said, and
said we have to suck this up and do this all
together.
The speakers of that motivational speech?
The seniors, of course.
Jeremy Case, Rodrick Stewart, Darnell
Jackson, Sasha Kaun and Russell Robinson
form the largest senior class since Michael
Lee, Aaron Miles, Wayne Simien and Keith
Langford graduated in 2005. The Jayhawks
hope the experience, leadership and desire
of the seniors will help the team reach goals
of the Big 12 championship and Final Four.
No one would have given that boot camp
speech last year. No, sir, that team had no
seniors. J.R. Giddens, David Padgett, Omar
Wilkes and Case were originally slated to be
standing underneath a shower of roses on
Senior Night, but something happened on the
way to heaven.
Giddens ran afoul of the law, and Kansas coach
Bill Self kicked him off the team. Padgett and
Wilkes transferred. Case redshirted for a year.
Kansas went 33-5 last year without a
senior, but it came one game short of the
Final Four.
I feel like the urgency wasnt there, Case
said. I feel like people were like, OK, we got
next year, and this year we dont have that. I
think that urgency we needed last year will
be here this year.
The leadership problems started at the
beginning of the year. Kansas lost to Oral
Roberts and had trouble closing out oppo-
nents such as Ball State. Self asked for a
leader to step up. Sophomore Julian Wright
called a team meeting before the Florida
game, but no concrete leader ever emerged.
Now none of that is in limbo. Five seniors
can lead, and judging by how they handled
boot camp, theyre ready to do it. Case said
so far they had been leading by working
hard in practices in hopes that the younger
players would follow them. Jackson said
every senior could also be a vocal leader.
Sasha, hell say something, Jackson said.
Jeremy, hell say something. Ill say some-
thing. We all talk to each other. Everybody
steps up to the stage and speaks. Nobody holds
their tongue for anything. If somebody is
slacking, Russ will get on them. If I did some-
thing wrong, Sasha will tell me I did some-
thing wrong. We all help each other out.
And when the seniors speak, the under-
classmen would be smart to listen. This
group of seniors has won three straight Big
12 regular season titles and two straight Big
12 Tournaments.
Each one of them can teach underclassmen
valuable stories too. Theyve all been through
their fair share of difficulties. Robinson didnt
play for a long stretch of games his freshman
year and is now one of the teams most reli-
able players. Jackson has gone through family
tragedies and an NCAA suspension. Kaun
had to adjust to college life after only a few
years in the United States. Stewart dealt with
a transfer. Case is still trying to showcase his
outside stroke more consistently in games.
Theyre an accomplished group with only
one year left to improve and build on earlier
achievements.
They know at Kansas, were measured at
a high level, and they want to go out as being
recognized as one of the winningest classes,
Self said. Its hard to do that if you win Big
12 titles and dont go to a Final Four. Im
not saying that its Final Four or bust, but in
their minds, thats what were striving for.

Surprises have been the norm in
college football this season, and
its been no different in the Big 12
Conference.
Halfway through league play,
the standings and the preseason
poll arent exactly carbon copies
of each other well, unless you
count the bottom and even now
its hard to choose wholl be playing
in the conference championship
game Dec. 1 in San Antonio.
The surprise of the year has eas-
ily been Kansas. After being picked
to finish fourth in the North, the
No. 12 Jayhawks are within a vic-
tory of their first 8-0 start since
the 19th century. That has coach
Mark Mangino, whod never before
won more than four straight games
at Kansas, dealing with different
issues during his team meetings.
I think you have to be able
to handle success and adversity
because both can create serious
problems for you if you dont
know how to manage them,
Mangino said Monday in the Big
12 coaches conference call. I just
tell our kids its great people are
recognizing you, but stay focused
on the task at hand and be care-
ful. In the end, you need to han-
dle success just as you would
handle adversity.
And no one knows adversity
better at this point than Nebraska
coach Bill Callahan. The defend-
ing North champions have been
the leagues biggest disappointment
this season. Picked to finish second
in the division, the Huskers (4-4,
1-3 Big 12) have been blown out
three straight weeks
Weve got to keep upbeat and
positive. Theres really nothing that
you can do otherwise. You cant
go in the tank mentally, you cant
give up, you cant point fingers,
Callahan said.
The South standings are jum-
bled too, with preseason favorite
Texas getting off to an 0-2 start in
league play. Oklahoma, Texas A&M
and Oklahoma State are locked in a
three-way tie for first.
College football full of surprises;
Kansas within one victory of 8-0 start

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. All that
talk about defending Super Bowl
champion Indianapolis being better
this season just might be true.
The Colts dominated every aspect
of Monday nights showdown against
the Jacksonville Jaguars, easily win-
ning 29-7 and once again taking
charge in the AFC South. They also
moved a step close to setting up
an undefeated matchup with New
England (7-0). The teams meet Nov.
4.
The Patriots should provide more
of a challenge than the Jaguars did.
Indianapolis (6-0) improved to 3-
0 in the division and left Jacksonville
(4-2), Tennessee and Houston in
the all-too-familiar chase mode. The
Colts, who have won the last four
division titles, also joined Green Bay
(1929-31) and St. Louis (1999-2001)
as the only teams in history to start
6-0 for three straight years.
They made this one look easy,
backing up assertions by coaches
Tony Dungy and Jack Del Rio that
the Colts are stronger, faster, more
disciplined and simply better than
they were during last years champi-
onship run.
The Colts knocked David Garrard
out of the game, pretty much bottled
up Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-
Drew and extended their winning
streak to 11 games.
Taylor and Jones-Drew spear-
headed last years 44-17 rout in
Jacksonville. The Jaguars ran for
a franchise-record 375 yards a
defensive meltdown that proved to
be a turning point for Indy. The
team fixed its run defense down the
stretch and then won it all.
Jacksonville tried to catch the
Colts off guard from the start
Monday night, calling on Garrard
to throw early and often. It back-
fired. Garrard was knocked out of
the game in the second quarter and
Jacksonvilles lackluster receivers
dropped several balls.
Meanwhile, Manning was
Manning.
He had plenty of time to throw,
and with Marvin Harrison still nurs-
ing a sore knee, hooked up with
Wayne all over the field. Manning
finished 23-of-37 for 259 yards, with
a touchdown and an interception.
He also ran for a score.
Colts overpower Jags, 29-7

ST. LOUIS Tony La Russa
tended to his many pets on the West
Coast for a week or so and made
up his mind: He wanted to keep
managing.
Now, hes hoping the St. Louis
Cardinals can make an equally
quick decision on hiring a general
manager.
La Russa agreed Monday to a
two-year contract to stay in St. Louis,
confident that the Cardinals can still
be contenders. Whether he ever
works out his rift with Scott Rolen,
that remains to be seen.
Youve got to be honest, hes prob-
ably the one guy who has issues with
me, La Russa said. You hope hes
healthy, understand we have issues,
and dont let it get in the way.
A year after winning the World
Series, the Cardinals endured a
disappointing 78-victory season.
General manager Walt Jocketty, who
hired La Russa in 1995, was fired
earlier this month.
The 63-year-old La Russa never
courted offers from other teams. He
would have preferred the new GM
give the OK for his return, but La
Russa felt it was important to finalize
his status heading into free agency.
Team chairman Bill DeWitt Jr.
said all the GM candidates hes talked
to have said theyd have no problem
working with La Russa.
Im real pleased it worked out, La
Russa said. Im thrilled to be back.
La Russa has led St. Louis to
seven playoff appearances, six NL
Central championships, two pen-
nants and the 2006 World Series
victory against Detroit. His Oakland
team won the 1989 World Series.
DeWitt expects to hire a new GM
by the end of the World Series. The
candidates are all currently assistant
GMs, including former Jocketty top
aide John Mozeliak.
The sooner the better, ideally,
DeWitt said.
La Russa also said hed gotten posi-
tive feedback from players with the
notable exception of Rolen, the star
third baseman with whom hes clashed
repeatedly the past few seasons.
La Russa twice benched him in
the 2006 playoffs, displeased that
Rolen failed to disclose the extent of
a shoulder injury. Rolen disagreed
with the managers handling.
Most of the roster is happy to
have him back.
Ive played for a lot of managers
and as far as running a bullpen, Id
put him up there with Bobby Cox
as the best in the majors, reliever
Russ Springer said. Hes a winning
manager, the fans love him and he
gets respect from managers across
the league.
La Russa said the firing of Jocketty
was not a huge surprise, given the
front-office squabble that developed
with Jeff Luhnow, vice president in
charge of amateur scouting and play-
er development. The two clashed
in philosophy, Jockettys old-school
approach vs. Luhnows new-school
numbers crunching.
I was surprised that it happened
like it happened, La Russa said.
But I was not surprised there were
issues.
La Russa finished a three-year
deal at the end of the season. He
said two years was the right length
because a one-year contract would
prompt questions from the start.
One is the wrong message
because from spring training on its
the same deal, La Russa said. Two
lets the players know Im back for
more than one.

By JeNNA FRyeR
ASSOciATed PReSS
CHARLOTTE, N.C. What
happens on the track between Jeff
Gordon and Jimmie Johnson stays
there. The teammates have mastered
the balance between competition
and friendship.
The same cant be said for Matt
Kenseth and Carl Edwards, who
were caught on camera in a nasty
confrontation following Sundays
race at Martinsville Speedway.
Kenseth was about to be inter-
viewed when Edwards, his teammate
at Roush Fenway Racing, grabbed
him and firmly pushed him down
pit road.
In videos posted on YouTube, the
two are seen arguing before Edwards
climbs over the pit wall. Before walk-
ing away, Edwards raised a fist as if
to strike Kenseth, who noticeably
flinched.
A Roush Fenway spokesman said
Monday the team had no immedi-
ate comment on the incident, and
president Geoff Smith was out of the
office and unavailable.
Apparently, theres some serious
animosity between Edwards and
Kenseth, who first publicly criticized
each other following a Busch Series
race in Kansas last month.
It started when Kenseth appeared
to cut Edwards off midway through
that race, and the contact caused
Edwards to cut a tire. Edwards later
wrecked not because of Kenseth
but blamed him for it by clapping
his hands and giving a thumbs-up
at Kenseth as he passed by him on
the track.
The reason I was mad, someone
like a teammate would race me like
that, Edwards said. He may or may
not have done it on purpose. Hes
my teammate and weve really got a
good relationship, so I hope we can
get by this.
Kenseth went on to finish sec-
ond, and was perplexed by Edwards
anger.
I dont really feel like I did any-
thing wrong, he said. My jobs not
to get out of his way all of the time.
Were supposed to race each other
like we always race each other, and
race each other with respect.
Kenseth didnt stop before taking a
slight jab at Edwards, who is running
away with the Busch Series driver
championship but only has the car
ranked third in owner points behind
entries fielded by Richard Childress
Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing and
piloted by multiple drivers.
If I was getting beat for the own-
ers championship by a couple of
guys running part-time ... its prob-
ably got him a little worked up,
Kenseth said.
If the two ever made up, it wasnt
apparent after Sundays Nextel Cup
event.
It was not exactly clear what they
were even arguing about, but it likely
stemmed from a mid-race restart
when Reed Sorensons car failed to
take off at the green flag. It caused
the traffic behind Sorenson to
stack up, and Kenseth and Edwards
became entangled as they tried to
weave around Sorenson.
They banged doors in Turn 1, and
had heavier contact in Turn 3 that
caused Edwards to lose track posi-
tion. His anger apparently festered
for the rest of the race, and when he
spotted Kenseth starting a television
interview, he was aggressive in inter-
rupting to make a point.
It was a stark contrast from
the harmony in the Hendrick
Motorsports camp, which had just
witnessed another duel between
championship contenders Johnson
and Gordon.
Johnson won Sundays race,
holding off a charge from his men-
tor and friend to score his series-
best seventh victory of the season
and tighten a championship battle
that Gordon is trying to run away
with. With four races remaining,
Gordon holds a 53-point lead over
Johnson.
Theres no animosity between the
two, who celebrated in Victory Lane
together.
I know that Jeff is going to do
everything that he can to win, and
Im going to do the same, Johnson
said. We have a great deal of respect
for one another.
The unity is contagious at
Hendrick, where driver Casey Mears
also went to Victory Lane, as did
several of Gordons crew members.
A week earlier, when Gordon won in
Charlotte, driver Kyle Busch stopped
by to congratulate him.
Its a teamwork philosophy that
owner Rick Hendrick spent years
implementing and fostered by
assembling selfless employees who
focus on the big picture.
I have told them this year, last
year, year before that, You wont get
beat from the outside in this busi-
ness once you get the momentum. It
is going to happen from the inside,
he said.
The cohesiveness could be why
Hendrick has won 15 of 32 races
this season, put three drivers in the
Chase and will likely get another
Cup title from either Gordon or
Johnson.
Roush Fenway, on the other hand,
put just two of its five drivers in the
Chase and has just five wins on the
season.
Now the team appears to have
a brewing problem between its top
two drivers that if left to fester will
only prevent the organization from
ever catching up with Hendrick.

KicKer earns
weeKly award
Kickers arent usually awarded
any extra points for degree-of-dif-
fculty on feld goal attempts, but
Scott Webb earned an award in
part because of some extra efort
last Saturday. Webb earned the
Big 12 Special Teams Player of the
Week award for making two feld
goals against Colorado. Webbs
frst feld goal was a bit of an
adventure: A high snap and the
resulting clumsy hold forced the
kicker to hesitate before booting
the ball 48 yards and through the
uprights. Later in the game, Webb
added a more routine 35-yard
feld goal. The 48-yarder was the
second-longest of Webbs career.
dominant defense
Colorado fooled the Kan-
sas defense several times last
weekend, but the Jayhawks
made stops when they needed
them most. Kansas coach Mark
Mangino said during a confer-
ence call Monday that sopho-
more safety Justin Thornton and
junior linebacker James Holt
were the teams key defensive
players. Thornton, who did not
start but played extensively in
the second half against Colorado,
made seven tackles and had an
interception. Holt dominated
from the outside linebacker posi-
tion, recording a career-high 15
tackles.
sparKy explained
Mangino revealed the origin
of sophomore quarterback Todd
Reesings nickname, Sparky,
during a teleconference Mon-
day. Reesing routinely caught
the coaches attention during
practices last season because of
his tendency to make exciting
plays, both positive and negative,
Mangino said. Mangino initially
described the quarterback as a
sparkplug, a description he later
shortened to Sparky.

ASSOciATed PReSS
ST. LOUIS St. Louis Rams
defensive end Leonard Little has
been hampered in recent weeks by
a torn ligament in his left big toe,
an injury that will require surgery
eventually.
Little played sparingly in a 33-6
loss in Seattle on Sunday, a setback
that dropped the Rams record to
0-7. He has one sack this season
after getting 13 last year, and he
didnt practice at all last week.
Hes going to have to have sur-
gery on it, defensive coordinator
Jim Haslett said. Whether its soon
or at the end of the year, it depends
on how well it holds up.
Haslett said Little likely would
not practice much, if at all, this
week. Hes having trouble pushing
off on the rush.
I dont know the whole rami-
fications of a toe, but hes not real
effective out there, Haslett said.
We tried to give him as much rest
as he could get. To be honest with
you, he just played OK.
Center Brett Romberg was all but
ruled out for Sundays game against
the Browns after spraining his right
ankle. Romberg started that game
with a sprained left ankle.
I would say thats leaving him
fairly questionable for at least the
next game, coach Scott Linehan
said.
Dante Hall, a return man and
wide receiver, was ruled out for a
third straight game with a high left
ankle sprain. Linehan said Hall had
an outside chance of returning
after the Rams bye week following
Sundays game.
I just think it was a real serious
high ankle sprain, Linehan said.
He tested it a little bit today and
its not ready.

Injuries holding back Rams
on ofensive, defensive lines
By ASHeR FUScO
afusco@kansan.com
Since the start of the 2007 season,
the Kansas football team has had its
schedule second-guessed by skepti-
cal sportswriters and its toughness
questioned by the talking heads on
television. During their first seven
games, the Jayhawks seem to have
taken the doubts as a challenge, leav-
ing nothing to chance and no ques-
tion unanswered. Here are some of
the questions and answers from the
first seven games of the 07 cam-
paign:
Q: Will the Kansas pass defense be
able to stop anyone?
A: The Kansas pass defense has
stopped everyone. Central Michigan
brought All-MAC quarterback Dan
LeFevour to Lawrence and left with
only seven points. In the final three
nonconference games, the Jayhawks
opponents averaged just 105.3 pass-
ing yards per game.
Kansas States Josh Freeman threw
three interceptions against Kansas,
and Colorados Cody Hawkins threw
two. Baylor arrived at Memorial
Stadium with a young quarterback
on the rise in Blake Szymanski and
headed back to Waco with the spot
up for grabs after the Jayhawks bul-
lied three of the Bears quarterbacks.
After finishing dead last (119th)
in the nation in pass defense last
year, the Jayhawks are fourth in
2007. Junior cornerback Aqib
Talib is playing as expected at
an All-American level, junior safety
Patrick Resby and junior cornerback
Kendrick Harper have been reliable
additions, sophomore safety Darrell
Stuckey is phenomenal now that he
is finally healthy and freshman cor-
nerback Chris Harris has surprised
with his consistency.
Were just more comfortable
and more confident when were out
there, Talib said. Were getting
more comfortable in the game and
getting our timing down.
Q: When will the Jayhawks play
and beat a decent opponent?
A: The last three weeks. True,
Southeastern Louisiana, Florida
International and Toledo were duds
and Central Michigan played like a
team in disarray under its new coach,
but Kansas provided a resounding
answer to this question over the past
three Saturdays.
Kansas State had just defeated
Texas in Austin, held home field
advantage and Freeman seemed to
have found his groove. That was all
before Kansas arrived in Manhattan.
The Jayhawk defense disrupted
Freeman and the Wildcat offense
enough to force three turnovers and
pull off a 30-24 road victory against
then-No. 24 Kansas State.
Winless in Big 12 Conference
play, Baylor is obviously not the class
of the conference. Despite the Bears
many weaknesses, the 58-10 victory
against a conference opponent was
impressive. In fact, the 58 points
marked the most in conference play
by any Kansas team.
Last weekend, Kansas did what
even No. 4 Oklahoma could not
win in Boulder, Colo. The Jayhawks
solved a tough Colorado defense and
tamed the thin Rocky Mountain air
to survive a 19-14 thriller at Folsom
Field. Junior linebackers James Holt
and Joe Mortensen covered the
entire field, combining for 26 tack-
les. Sophomore quarterback Todd
Reesing burned the Buffaloes with
his legs, rushing for 84 yards.
We didnt think we could just roll
Colorado over in Boulder, sopho-
more running back Jake Sharp said.
They have a great team and they
play great at home. Its not an easy
place to play and we feel happy with
our turnout.
Q: Sure, the team is 7-0, but this is
Kansas football. Are the Jayhawks
for real?
A: A reporter posed a similar
question to Kansas coach Mark
Mangino after Kansas defeated
Colorado last weekend. The coach
provided a clear answer: Im not
going to say whether were for real
or not, Mangino said. You watch a
game and see if were for real.
