Former Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich carried out his role
as the Dole Institute for Politics
first Distinguished Visiting Fellow
yesterday, spending the day meet-
ing with and talking to students,
faculty and community members
in numerous diverse settings.
Gingrich first visited the Natural
History Museum in Dyche Hall,
which made such an impression
on him that he gushed over it at all
following events.
I had a tremendous time look-
ing at fossils, Gingrich said.
He followed up his museum
visit with a Pizza and Politics lec-
ture in the Adams Alumni cen-
ters Bruckmiller room at noon.
Gingrichs presence brought more
than 100 people to enjoy the food
and conversation combo, more
than twice the previous record
attendance since the programs
inception five years ago. Here he
explained President Obamas polit-
ical future depends on whether
he will be a Jimmy Carter or a
Bill Clinton. He said that Carter
failed because he refused to take
the opponents policies into con-
sideration, whereas Clinton was
willing to work with Gingrich and
his Republican majority after the
1994 congressional changeover.
Gingrich then took questions from
KU students from a variety of
political backgrounds on his past
in Congress and the future of the
Republican party.
Chelsea Mertz, Topeka senior
and Pizza and Politics coordinator,
scheduled the visit to Pizza and
Politics.
They had scheduled him for the
Dole forum program, Mertz said,
So I asked if we could do the lunch
program as well. Its been a little
hectic, but its gone really well.
Eric Foss, president of the KU
College Republicans, explained the
success of this event.
A lot of us political junkies
started becoming aware of politics
just around the same time he was
leading the republicans, regaining
control of Congress, Foss said.
Were all very excited that he
chose to come.
After sipping a diet coke and
hearing students thoughts,
Gingrich got a chance to share
his own during a visit to Jonathan
Earles class Conspiracy Theories
and Paranoia in American History.
Earle is the Dole Institutes program
director and associate professor of
history, which Gingrich himself
used to teach at the University of
West Georgia.
We here at the Dole Institute
like to bring in people who mat-
ter in contemporary politics, Earle
said, With Speaker Gingrich we
had kind of an interesting package,
because he started out as a col-
lege teacher. We were really able to
meet all of those goals.
Next on Gingrichs agenda was
a reception downtown for the
friends of the Dole Institute, before
heading to the Dole Institute on
west campus for his final obligation
for the visit.
The Dole Institute began seating
at 6 p.m. The building was soon
filled to its capacity of 525.
Gingrich emerged shortly after
7:30pm and spoke for about 45
minutes about his view of the
countrys current issues. He said
the nation faces threats from radi-
cal Islam and Chinese progress
that everyone is scared to address.
He also said the country needs a
unified vision of America and its
future, as Ronald Reagan had.
Though discussing serious sub-
ject matter the former Speaker of
the House consistently cracked
jokes all day about things such as
Carter ineptitude and Eisenhowers
wily interstate development.
Earle said the Institute hopes to
replicate the visits success in the
years to come.

The University lost a longtime
icon this week, according to the
students and faculty who knew
Harry Shaffer best.
Harry Shaffer, professor emeri-
tus of economics who retired last
year after teaching for 52 years,
died Tuesday at age 90.
He was a legend, said Chris
Billinger, WaKeeney senior and
former student of Shaffer. Hes

said.
Deb Smith, associate professor in
the department of ecology and evo-
lutionary biology, said that when
the weather fluctuates between
warm and cold temperatures, as it
has in the past few weeks, tempera-
tures arent cold enough to kill the
bugs but are still cool enough for
them to look for
warmth in resi-
dences.
Smith said if the
cold weather was more
continuous, insects wouldnt
be as active. There have been too
many episodes of warming and
cooling to keep them away, she
said.
Consequently, students often
end up with an unwanted, multi-
legged roommate.
Although house centipedes are
predatory, which means they hunt
other insects, Smith said they dont
pose a threat to people.
When you see them around, it
usually means there are or there
used to be other insects around, as
well, she said.
The house centipede is just one
of many types of insects creeping
and crawling through dark corners
of houses this time of year.
Smith said the most common
pests are box elder beetles, mouse
spiders, grass spiders and the
Asian lady beetle, which is usually

In a city known for celebrating
everything hippie, its no surprise
that a vintage store embodying
the spirit of the 60s survives in
Lawrence.
Beyond the Door, 918
Massachusetts St., is a store that
specializes in clothing, posters and
a lot of stuff, as store owner
Sherry Fitzgerald put it. Before
opening the store in Lawrence
three years ago, Fitzgerald worked
at a store in Florida. Her children,
who are Lawrence residents, con-
vinced her to move the store here
to be closer to them.
The store existed down in
Florida so when I moved it here I
just kept the same name, she said.
Even though I dont really know
what it means.
Besides clothing, which includes
purses, shoes, T-shirts and even
prom dresses, posters and framed
artwork fill the store. In the back,
a friend of Fitzgeralds, Fred Sack,
frames vintage inspired art and
puts it up around the shop to be
sold. Fitzgerald said the color-
ful posters and humorous sayings
often grab the attention of people
walking by.
Just yesterday a lady came in
and bought four of my signs, she
said. They love my signs, theyll
see them in the window and stop
right in.
Beyond the Door is also unique
in that Fitzgerald receives nearly
all of her products from one con-
signor. When Uptown Monkey,
a vintage store in Mission closed
down, the owner offered all of her
remaining items, including cloth-
ing, to Fitzgerald.
Unlike most other secondhand
shops, she doesnt usually buy
clothing from people looking to
sell old belongings.
Only if its really something
special Ill buy it, she said.
In October, sales were high as
many people stopped in the store
in search of the perfect Halloween
costume. But, throughout the
year those seeking dcor for their
residence hall or apartment can
sift through poster collections or
browse iconic art in the back of
the store.
True to the local vibe of
Lawrence, Beyond the Door is
also the place for anyone looking
for Bob Marley tie-dyed T-shirts,
Woodstock posters or peace sign
necklaces.
Most people that come in say
this takes me back to the ole hip-
pie days, Fitzgerald said.

as a former classmate
ERIE, Pa. After being robbed
of his jacket, cell phone, keys and
$300, a Pennsylvania man was
left with the odd feeling that his
assailants looked familiar. Police

school together about 15 years
ago.
Erie police arrested 30-year-old
Anthony Williams on Monday

tic threats and simple assault.
The other suspect has not been
found.
They say Williams was one of
two men who accosted the vic-
tim outside a convenience store
Oct. 17.
Police say the victim recog-
nized Williams because they both
attended Central Career and
Technical School in the mid-
1990s. The victim brought old
yearbooks to the police station
and identifed a newer picture of
Williams from a photo lineup.

Calf ftted with two prosthetic legs
aSSOcIaTED PRES
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
Meadow the yearling Black Angus
calf spends her days frolicking in
northeastern New Mexicos cattle
country, all with her prosthetic
hind legs.
Te bucolic scene seemed impos-
sible just a few months ago, when
rancher Nancy Dickenson and
her stepdaughter, Martha, found
Meadow on a neighbors property.
Te 11-month-old calf had lost her
back hooves and half of her ears to
severe frostbite.
Te Dickensons have rescued
dozens of animals and wanted to
give Meadow a chance to walk nor-
mally again. Tey located the calf s
owner and bought Meadow, and
convinced veterinarians and stu-
dents at Colorado State University
to help her.
Doctors amputated a portion of
Meadows hind legs in August and
ftted her with the prosthetics, a
rare procedure done on livestock
typically destined for the food sup-
ply. Meadow is believed to be the
frst bovine calf ftted with double
prosthetics, Colorado State vet-
erinarian Dr. Robert Callan said.
He based his claim on discussions
with other veterinarian clinics and
schools.
Nancy Dickenson said the fam-
ily decided to pay what she expects
will cost thousands of dollars for
the procedures because Meadow
has become another family pet.
Meadow, named for the spot she
was found, returned home to New
Mexico last month. Dickenson
said she doesnt want any visitors
at Twin Willows Ranch near Ocate
while Meadow recuperates.

PHILADELPHIA
Commuters biked, walked, juggled
carpool schedules and hitched
rides as the citys transit system
ground to a near halt for a second
day Wednesday, a rush worsened
when a regional rail train caught
fire.
Regional rail lines are running
because their workers are repre-
sented by a different union. But
trouble hit around 7 a.m. when a
car caught fire as it headed down-
town, causing delays and confu-
sion. Southeastern Pennsylvania
Transportation Authority officials
said it was likely an electrical fire
and was not suspicious.
More than 5,000 members of
SEPTAs largest union walked
off the job early Tuesday, leaving
thousands of people struggling for
ways to get around without the use
of subways, trolleys or buses.
I cant take the whole strike
off, said Niki LaGrone, 27, a
Catholic school teacher in North
Philadelphia, as she prepared to
take regional rail as far as it goes
and then walk a mile and a half
to school. Im going to have to
show up. ... Hopefully, I can find
somebody when I get in to work to
help me out.
The Philadelphia school district
reported a 16 percent drop in high
school attendance Wednesday. On
an average weekday, about 54,000
public and parochial students take
SEPTA to school.
At the J.R. Masterman high
school, Robin Carpenter unloaded
a bicycle from his fathers car so he
could make the 7-mile ride home
in the afternoon.
I do ride my bike sometimes
but not during cross-country sea-
son, he said, adding that the strike
was an inconvenience. Its too tir-
ing.
Karen Pollack scrambled to find
ways to get her 16- and 13-year-
old daughters to and from their
respective schools.
Pollack lives in the citys
Germantown sec-
tion and left about
15 minutes earlier
to drop off her
younger daugh-
ter at Masterman.
Her husband
dropped off their
older daughter at
a school about 5
miles from home.
Getting them
home could be a
challenge, though, since her older
daughter usually takes SEPTA.
Now, shes going to walk the 15 or
so blocks to her sisters school and
hopefully find a spot in that car
pool if theres room.
It was a little stressful last
night, Pollack said. Its going to
be day-to-day.
Jim Jordan, an assistant gen-
eral manager for SEPTA, said the
regional rail car that caught fire
was about 40 years old, one of
many slated to be replaced soon.
The origin of the blaze was prob-
ably in the heating or electrical
system, Jordan said, and the entire
fleet will be inspected once the
cause is determined.
Flames could be seen shooting
from the front of the train shortly
after 7 a.m. A big cloud of smoke
also billowed from the train. No
injuries were reported.
Wayne Rafferty, 27, of Pottstown,
a lab technician at Childrens
Hospital of Philadelphia, said he
had to calm down another pas-
senger on the packed train, and
he saw other passen-
gers kicking out the
removable emergen-
cy windows. Once
outside the train,
he took a picture of
the front of it with
flames and smoke.
I already texted
in the photos to my
boss. I said, This
was my train, he
said. He said hell
see me when he sees me, so Im
going to start making the hike.
Rafferty estimated that it would
take about an hour to walk to his
workplace.
The sudden strike by Transport
Workers Union Local 234 has all
but crippled the system, which
averages more than 928,000 trips
each weekday. The union walked
away from negotiations on a new
contract over disagreements on
wage, pension and health care
issues.

mistaken for a common ladybug.
These beetles were originally
brought here to control the popu-
lation of other types of insects,
but have now become more of a
nuisance themselves, Smith said.
And honey bees generally come
out on these warmish days to
eat and dump waste, so theyre
around more, meaning people are
more likely to come into contact
with them.
Schwartz said there were always
five to 10 of the ladybug-like bee-
tles by her windows in her room.
Theyve been getting a lot
worse, she said. Its kind of con-
fusing, though, because my win-
dow is closed and I dont know
how they are getting in.
Joanie Haley, office manager
of Haley Pest Control, Inc. said
that this fall had been busy with
calls about pests. She said ants,
brown spiders, ladybugs, roaches
and termites have been problems
this year, but she had also seen an
unusual amount of pack rats.
Pack rats can be a huge nui-
sance since they like to chew on
electrical wiring, Haley said.
They can also get into car engines
and cause all kinds of expensive
damages.
Vince Avila, associate director
for facilities in the Department
of Student Housing, said most
insects found in residence halls
traveled in on backpacks, grocery
bags and clothes.
Thats how many of the roach-
es travel in and then they stay
because they food thats been left
out, Avila said. Thats also where
a lot of the rodents come from
that weve had to relocate.
Avila said he recommended
students report insect problems
so Housing can take care of the
issue.
We use safe insecticides, he
said. Some of the ones in stores
are pretty strong.
Avila said the Housing
Department treated every campus
building with kitchens monthly
for pest problems and responded
to others on a call-in basis. He also
said he didnt think there werent
many problems in residence halls
because students didnt often call
in with problems.
There are, however, cases in stu-
dent living that do require atten-
tion, if not by Student Housing,
then by the students themselves.
Bugs are so much bigger here
than they are at home, Jenny
Curran, Chicago freshman, said.
When I moved into Corbin, I
had a ton of huge spiders in my
room.
Curran, like many other
students, did not call Housing
and Maintenance to help solve the
pest problem. She took matters
into her own hands.
I had my dad go get me spray,
she said. That pretty much killed
all of them, but I still see bugs
around fairly often.
Patty Quinlan, supervisor of
nursing at Watkins Memorial
Health Center, said students
generally came in with honey
bee stings more as temperature
changes, but said bug bites could
be hard to identify unless the bug

from his position at the University
of Alabama in protest of segrega-
tion.
Shaffer was opinionated and
passionate, and not just about eco-
nomics he acted as an advo-
cate of human rights and freedom
of speech throughout his life. He
spoke out against Nazi Germany in
the 1940s, American segregation in
the 1950s, the Vietnam War in the
1970s and recently demonstrated
against the Iraq war.
In 1990 Shaffer confronted
more injustice when a law, later
ruled unconstitutional, forced full-
time professors to retire at age 70,
said Joe Sicilian, chairman of the
department of economics. Sicilian
said Shaffer continued to teach,
however, for significantly less pay
until age 89 because he enjoyed
working with students.
That was what he loved the
most, his interaction with stu-
dents, Sicilian said. He would tell
me he would love to run into stu-
dents from the past or the present
in town or on campus.
Sarah Frazelle, KU research ana-
lyst and lecturer, spent five semes-
ters as Shaffers teaching assistant
before assuming his role as the
current economics 104 instructor.
Frazelle said she always tried to
follow the example Shaffer set with
the course, but that there were
aspects to his lectures that she
couldnt recreate. For example, she
said, he would always present a
long, detailed island analogy on the
advent of money.
That is something that will
never be able to be told the way
he told it, Frazelle said. That is
something students for generations
will always remember: that money
story.
Shaffer, in his 50-plus years at
the University, had the opportunity
to tell that story and others to mul-
tiple generations of Jayhawks. In a
2007 interview with The Kansan,
Shaffer reported that multiple stu-
dents had commented on having
parents who took his course before
they did.
Only once did I have some-
body say Professor Shaffer, my
grandfather took your course,
Shaffer said.
Manda Barker,
a 2005 graduate
and former stu-
dent of Shaffer,
said she mostly
remembered his
endearing charm.
It always charac-
terized the stories
he would unravel
to his hundreds of
economic students, she said.
She said she also remembered it
fondly from when she bumped into
him in person in the grocery store
six years after she took his course.
Shaffer was with his wife Betty
at the time, Barker said, and seized
the moment to compliment her
good her looks. When Barker
agreed that Betty was indeed beau-
tiful, Shaffer gleamed and said,
Well, of course, she was a dancer,
Barker said.
Russ Ptacek, longtime friend of
Shaffer, said it was moments such
as these that characterized their
entire marriage. He said he noticed
the steadfast devotion they had for
one another from the first time he
met Shaffer at the Unity Church of
Lawrence.
Harry is jewish and he went
to a Christian-based church in
Lawrence to be with
his wife Betty who is
a Christian, Ptacek
said. They were
probably the most
incredible love story
that anybody who
knew them had ever
seen.
Shaffer, who
exhaled his last breath
in the presence of his
wife, was a man who graced every-
one around him with his positive
spirit and will be missed by many,
Ptacek said. Ptacek said he would
most miss his friend in the poker
group that Shaffer would enliven
for hours every Sunday afternoon.
He was very lively. He had a lot
of energy, Ptacek said, before add-
ing that the slow, deliberate game
was, absolutely never dull with
Harry Shaffer.

Grief puts added stress on students
BY BRANDON SAYERS
bsayers@kansan.com
When sophomore Bobby Weiss
finally returned to the University
after his mothers death earlier this
semester, he knew he was behind in
his classes.
Bobby had only recently moved to
Lawrence as a new transfer student
but he didnt want to let his mothers
death prevent him from getting the
college experience that she had so
adamantly urged he pursue.
He was really ready to go back
because he had worked so hard to
get there, said Zac Weiss, Bobbys
older brother. But, there were obvi-
ously academic pressures and just
the pressure to get caught up and
back in the swing of things.
He was worried about his classes,
so he dropped his course load to the
minimum for full-time status and
switched one class to an online sec-
tion so he could get caught up at his
own speed.
Bobby was very intelligent and
was handling it well, Zac said. The
last time we spoke he was telling me
he was pretty much caught up.
But on Oct. 11, less than six
weeks after returning to Lawrence,
Bobby took his own life.
I really think dealing with his
grief was the main factor, Zac said.
But, I think there were other fac-
tors as well.
Bobby was among the 30 percent
of college students who have suf-
fered the death of a loved one in
the past 12 months, according to
research. That same research sug-
gests 39 percent have experienced
similar situations during the last 24
months.
David E. Balk, a former professor
at Kansas State University who has
received grants from the National
Institute of Mental Health to study
the topic, has conducted extensive
research about how college stu-
dents deal with family deaths. In
his 2008 study, Balk said it was
important for college faculty to
reach out to grieving students and
assess their needs. He said two of
the greatest services these colleges
can offer are a willingness to allow
late make-up work and incomplete
grades, as well as a specific location
on campus that is readily recog-
nized as a place for support.
seeking Help
Mary Ann Rasnak, director
of the Academic Achievement
and Access Center, is one of the
University officials who work with
grieving students during their time
of difficulty.
If they need assistance we can
help with anything from commu-
nicating with professors, discussing
academic options, seeking counsel-
ing or any other type of unique need
the student may have, Rasnak said.
Rasnak said that when her
department learned about a stu-
dent who was experiencing a death,
they offered their condolences and
informed the student of the different
ways the University could help. If
the student requests assistance, the
department also sends an e-mail to
all the students professors informing
them of the situation and encourag-
ing active communication with the
student as they try
to return to classes.
Rasnak said
many grieving stu-
dents missed class
to attend services
or spend time with
family. Rasnak said
it was common for
a student to miss
between 7 and
10 days of class if
they have a death in their immedi-
ate family, but it was impossible to
predict exactly how students would
respond.
Some people say Back away from
me, I have to deal with this myself,
Rasnak said. But some people want
to be consoled by others and envel-
oped in emotional support. And
then some people are in between.
Rasnak said the students them-
selves may not always seek out the
assistance they needed, so she urged
family members, friends, professors
and other University officials who
know of a student dealing with the
death of a loved one to report it to
her department.
The only way we know some-
thing like this has happened is if
someone tells us, Rasnak said.
Coping
In his quest to get back in the
swing of things, Bobby worked with
the Academic Achievement and
Access Center to improve com-
munication with his professors.
His family said he also received
moral support from the Counselors
at the Center for Counseling and
Psychological Services, or CAPS.
Zac said the family was thankful
for the valuable University support
but he thought society as a whole
misunderstood college students
grief and the pressures they faced.
The community in general
doesnt seem to be prepared to do
anything about these issues until its
too late, Zac said.
Members of the family said there
were a few things, however, they
thought the University could do
to help grieving students. Zac said
he thought one valuable service
the University could offer griev-
ing students would be a support
group that allowed them to talk
easily about their feelings. Another
thing he thought would help spread
awareness of these issues would be
an annual event that remembered
students who lost their life due to
issues with grief and depression.
Some kids are strong enough to
deal with it, Zac said. But some
cant.
ReaCHing out
One of the services many griev-
ing students pursue, Rasnak said,
was the emotional support and psy-
chological services offered at CAPS.
Dr. John Wade, a licensed psy-
chologist and CAPS outreach
coordinator, said grieving college
students experience unique stres-
sors when dealing with grief issues.
College students
may have a hard
time talking about
their problems and
may be experiencing
academic pressures,
all of which can be
compounded if they
are far from home, he
said.
College is a time
of greater life uncer-
tainty than almost
any other time of a persons life,
Wade said. But some of the aspects
of the grief experience are very uni-
versal.
One way counselors help griev-
ing students is by reminding them
that they are not the only ones
going through a loss and that grief
is a very normal thing. He said they
encouraged them to talk about their
feelings with people they trust.
Social support is shown to be
a very key component to coping,
Wade said.
Wade said students had shown
interest in grief support groups in
the past, and as
recently as five
years ago CAPS
offered a regular
group meeting
for these types of
students.
It can be very
awkward and
uncomfortable to
talk about death,
Wade said. So I
do think this type of support can be
beneficial to students.
Wade said students had respond-
ed positively to these groups in the
past, but said it was very difficult to
get enough interested students to
agree on a time to meet regularly.
We really do try to be respon-
sive to student needs, so if there is
enough student interest in some-
thing like this wed be happy to help
organize one of these groups again.
gRoup suppoRt
David Fajgenbaum co-founded
a national support network for
grieving students in 2006 after his
mother died while he was a student
at Georgetown University. He
said the groups goal was to raise
awareness of student grief issues
and help colleges hold grief support
sessions.
In my case, I literally thought
I was the only person on campus
going through what I was going
through, Fajgenbaum said. Which
I now know is never the case.
AMF, or Ailing Mothers and
Fathers, has 26 official chapters at
colleges across the country and 21
more in development. Since it was
founded, the group has had students
from more than 126 colleges request
to add chapters. AMF provides sup-
port for students dealing with grief
or parents who are terminally ill.
College is all about the best years
of your life. Going to parties, having
fun and not worry about anything,
Fajgenbaum said. So when these
types of issues do hit you it is tough
to deal with and talk about.
Each chapter of AMF meets reg-
ularly for peer-led support group
sessions and hosts special service
events to raise awareness on a num-
ber of issues such as cancer and
other health and wellness issues.
Fajgenbaum said he thought group
sessions were important for stu-
dents because it was
especially difficult to
share sad news on a col-
lege campus.
It really helps to
know that there are oth-
ers on campus going
through the same
thing and that you can
talk to them about it.
Fajgenbaum said.
Fajgenbaum said
though the University of Kansas
does not have a chapter of AMF,
he studied the ways that colleges
responded to student grief for a
thesis paper and thought that the
Universitys policy on the issue was
noteworthy.
Its actually pretty amazing that
they do reach out to these students
in the way that they do, Fajgenbaum
said. On most college campuses
there is no formal procedure to
reach out to grieving students.
additional pRessuRe
Bobbys family said they wished
the University could help students
take an extended break from class,
but they acknowledged there were a
number of consequences that could
arise from dropping below the mini-
mum enrollment for full-time sta-
tus.
I think they should say dont
worry about your classes right now,
you can take them up next semester
at no extra charge, Zac said. They
should be able to help these students
take some time off but still graduate
in a timely manner.
For students who arent forced to
remain at full-time status for a vari-
ety of reasons, there are options.
Daniel Novin, Overland Park
senior, lost his father to cancer in
November 2008. Novin said he
missed a lot of school in the last
few weeks of his fathers life, and by
the time he returned to class he had
accumulated too many absences to
reasonably pass some of his courses.
I decided to drop from all my
classes but one, Novin said. And
luckily that one was pretty easy for
me to catch up on and everything.
Novin said the bursars office
helped him receive a full refund on
the classes he could not complete
because of absences despite the fact
that it was past the deadline to with-
draw. The University works with
grieving students regarding tuition
reimbursement on a case-by-case
basis.
I had to speak with a few peo-
ple on the phone but it was a very
easy process, Novin said. I had my
money back in like a month.
Novin said he has never regretted
his course of action, even though
it will likely delay his graduation.
Instead he said he believed his lighter
course load helped him return to his
everyday life.

Losing a loved

eduCation
America lacking
college graduates
ASSOciAtED PRESS
The United States spends more
money than any other country,
and its elite institutions are the
worlds best. But overall the sys-
tem is wasteful, fails too many
and is falling behind other
countries.
No, the topic isnt health care
its higher education.
The latest stinging report came
last week from a state colleges
group arguing the United States
isnt producing enough college
graduates, especially in science.
Similar gloominess emanates
from business groups and even
the Obama administration, whose
top education goals include again
leading the world in proportion
of college graduates.
But is it really fair to try to
rank American higher education
against the rest of the world?
And if you do, is the once-
vaunted U.S. system really losing
its edge?
A few contrarian experts say no.
The most vocal is Cliff Adelman,
a sharp-tongued data hound who
after a long and influential career
in government now works at the
independent Institute for Higher
Education Policy, where he feels
freer to rock the boat.
Weve got a country full of

interview. We hesitate to call it
propaganda, but it is.

Former chancellor Hemenway researches for book
BY JESSE RANGEL
jrangel@kansan.com
Former chancellor Robert
Hemenway spent 14 years meet-
ing with provosts, overseeing
budgets and setting goals for the
University. Since retiring in June,
he now gets to spend his days
doing research.
Between his time as chancellor
and his planned job as a professor
next fall, he is taking a sabbati-
cal to do research for a book he
plans to write about intercollegiate
athletics. Hemenway previously
taught in the English department.
People whove written about
this agree that theres a real ten-
sion with commercialism that has
become more prominent in inter-
collegiate athletics, Hemenway
said. People who are involved in
athletics have to look to the future
and ask themselves: whats going
to be the relationship between the
student athletes and the games
they participate in and the way
universities both benefit and pro-
vide benefits?
He now keeps an office in the
Hall Center for the Humanities
building on 900 Sunnyside Ave.,
making it his day-to-day corner
on campus.
Victor Bailey, director of the Hall
Center, said he
first began work-
ing closely with
Hemenway when
$7 million from
the Hall Family
Foundation was
donated to build
the facility in
2001. Hemenway
is on the foun-
dations board of
directors. Bailey said
that during the building of the
facility, he found that Hemenway,
who was also on the building com-
mittee, was easy to work with. He
said it was helpful Hemenway had
a background in humanities.
For the last few years, once
weve been in this building, he has
continued to help us occasion-
ally with programming, Bailey
said. Therefore, I think it wasnt
a difficult decision for me when,
having announced he was step-
ping down, he requested being a
research fellow in the Hall Center,
for one, possibly two years.
Bailey said the center had
helped with Hemenways transi-
tion from chancellor
to faculty.
It gives him a
chance, I think, to
re-engage with the
faculty, with graduate
students and with the
research programs of
those people, Bailey
said.
Hemenway said the
Hall Center had very
rich programs on subjects such
as African literature and his field
of study, African-American litera-
ture.
Its a very good place to work,
Hemenway said. Theres a lot of
intellectual activity at the Hall
Center. I feel very honored to be
a part of it.
Hemenway said he planned
to meet with the English and
American studies departments
when he returned to the University
next fall. He said he could teach
courses such as American literature
or intercollegiate athletics.

Rapist not monitored close enough
ASSociAtEd PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
Corrections officials failed to
properly supervise convicted
sex offender Phillip Garrido and
missed opportunities to discover
the girl he allegedly kidnapped and
held in his backyard for 18 years, a
report released Wednesday said.
The review by state Inspector
General David Shaw blasted the
handling of Garridos case by the
Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation during the decade
he was under state supervision
after being paroled in a previous
rape case.
The report said parole agents
were not trained to conduct home
visits and did not follow up on
information that showed Garrido
violated his parole. It also faulted
the states GPS-monitoring system,
saying it gives the public a false
sense of security concerning the
whereabouts of offenders.
Shaw said the GPS system falls
short of its potential and recom-
mended developing and imple-
menting a comprehensive moni-
toring policy.
Police have said Garrido held
Jaycee Dugard captive and raped
her in a backyard encampment
of tents during a period from
1999 until his arrest in August.
He allegedly fathered her two
children.
Shaw criticized parole agents
for not investigating the clearly
visible utility wires running from
Garridos house to the secret com-
pound; not talking to neighbors
who might have said something
about the children; and not ques-
tioning further the presence of a
12-year-old girl during a home
visit.
The department failed to prop-
erly supervise Garrido and missed
numerous opportunities to discov-
er his victims, the report states.
ASSociAtEd PRESS
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
California lawmakers on
Wednesday passed an $11.1 bil-
lion overhaul of the states anti-
quated water system in a bid to
supply a soaring population while
preserving a fragile environment.
After a long night of debate,
the state Assembly voted in favor
of the comprehensive package of
water bills and a bond measure
to fund them. The Senate also
approved.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
was expected to sign the five-bill
package, which he called a wise
investment in the states future.
This is without any doubt the
most comprehensive water infra-
structure package that has passed
here, Schwarzenegger said.
The plan provides funding for
new dams, groundwater cleanup,
conservation and habitat resto-
ration. It gives Schwarzenegger
comprehensive tools to begin
restoring the crucial Sacramento-
San Joaquin Delta and create a
stable water supply for cities in
Southern California and farmers
in the Central Valley.
Lawmakers have wrangled
for years over how to upgrade
the water system. The problems
became more acute this year when
farmers faced a third dry year
with less snow-
fall and new
pumping restric-
tions to protect a
delta fish.
De mo c r a t s
and Republicans
spent months
hashing out a
strategy intended
to change how
water is used in
California and how to better man-
age the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta.
The water plan includes cre-
ation of a seven-member govern-
ing council to oversee the delta
that funnels fresh water from
Northern to Southern California,
where most of the states popula-
tion lives. The maze of earthen
levees is susceptible to earth-
quakes that could halt pumping
for months.
Federal courts and agencies
have ordered reductions in pump-
ing to protect he deltas collapsing
ecosystem.
Legislators want
to require California
cities to use 20 per-
cent less water by
2020, although large
urban areas such as
Los Angeles and San
Francisco would not
have to meet such
a high threshold
because per-capita
water use is lower
than other parts of the state.
At the center of the new water
package is the bond that has grown
over the past two days to more
than $11 billion. The Senate had
passed a $9.9 billion version ear-
lier in the week but the Assembly
added more money.

When the pressure of school-

lured to use the prescription drug
Adderall for an extra boost.
According to the National

seven percent of full-time college

The addiction to succeed can be

Adderall is a safe and effec-
tive medication for people with
ADHD, Dr. Ty Yoshida, child
and adolescent psychiatrist and
medical director of Bert Nash
Community Mental Health Center
at 200 Maine St., said.
The illegal use of the prescrip-
tion drug seems commonplace to
some students.
When asked if Adderall use was
prevalent at the University, Laura
Erdall, Edina, Minn., senior said,
Is basketball big at KU? Duh.
Because of the high number
of people who take Adderal for
medical reasons, its becoming
more accessible for illegal use,
Dr. Yoshida said.
Adderall has a
high potential
for abuse and
d e p e n d e n c e ,
according to the
U.S. Department
of Health and
Services, which
explains the con-
cern with its ris-
ing illegal use.
My guess is that most students
find it not problematic, having
no major side effects, and helpful
by being more alert, Dr. Yoshida
said. If anything theyre thinking
they are getting an edge in aca-
demic performance and/or get-
ting high.
According to NSDUH, full-
time college students who used
Adderall without having a pre-
scription were three times more
likely to use marijuana, eight times
more likely to use cocaine and
tranquilizers nonmedically and
five times more likely to use pain
relievers nonmedically. Ninety
percent were also binge drink-
ers, but the illicit use of Adderall
doesnt seem like a dangerous
thing to some students.
I take it to stay up to study for
tests, Erdall explained. Or when
there are game days because Id
like to make it out at night after a
whole day of drink-
ing.
Both Huffman
and Erdall said they
knew people who
snorted Adderall so
it could affect them
faster.
The illicit use of
Adderall can put the
drug in a negative
light, even when
used for medical reasons.
The diagnosis of ADHD needs
to be done within a context of a
comprehensive evaluations, Dr.
Yoshida said. KU has a good
resource and students should
consult CAPS if they suspect
ADHD.
CAPS, Counseling and
Psychological Services, located
on the second floor of Watkins
Memorial Health Center, offers
student testing for ADHD.

A KU student who police say
was involved in the robberies of
two local delivery drivers appeared
in Douglas County Court Tuesday
and Wednesday for a preliminary
hearing.
Billy Kernizant, a 22-year-old
KU student, appeared alongside
Royjamian Haulcy, a 19-year-old
Lawrence resident. Kernizant has
been charged with two counts of
aggravated robbery and Haulcy has
been charged with one count of ag-
gravated robbery and two counts of
conspiracy to commit robbery. Te
delivery driver victims and a Law-
rence detective also provided testi-
monies during the hearing. Randall
Lewis, who told police that he was
the gunman in both robberies, also
testifed.
Lewis, a 19-year-old El Dorado
man, has reached a plea agreement
in return for his testimony in court.
In this agreement, Lewis will plead
guilty to charges, but will receive
sentencing considerations. Lewis
testifed during the hearing that he
and two others had planned the
robberies and that Haulcy or Kerni-
zant were not in-
strumental in the
planning.
However, Law-
rence Police say
both Haulcys and
Kernizants roles
in the robberies
were criminal.
Lance Flachs-
barth, a detective
for the Lawrence
Police Depart-
ment, said he interviewed both
Haulcy and Kernizant Oct. 2 afer
Lawrence police served a search
warrant on their Lawrence resi-
dence. He said Kernizant admitted
during the interview that the gun
used in the robberies was his, but
denied that he was ever asked per-
mission to use it and said that it was
not uncommon for his friends to
borrow his semi-automatic hand-
gun.
Flachsbarth said a stores security
camera footage showed Haulcy pur-
chasing the pre-
paid cell phone
that was used to
place the orders,
but he said Haul-
cy claimed the
phone was essen-
tially commu-
nity property for
the use of anyone
at his apartment.
Lewis testi-
fed, though, that both Haulcy and
Kernizant knew of his plan to rob
the Pizza Shuttle driver and were
in the vehicle that drove him to the
scene of the crime.
nnn
One of the victims who testifed,
a 19-year-old Jimmy Johns delivery
driver, said he was delivering three
sandwiches to the area of 9th and
Ohio streets about 3:15 a.m. Sept.
26.
Te driver said the area was
very dark and he couldnt see any
of the addresses, so he tried to call
the phone number that the caller
provided. Te num-
ber said it was out of
service, but the driver
decided to get out of
his car and get close
enough to read the ad-
dresses on the houses.
Te driver said he
found the correct ad-
dress rather quickly.
I was getting ready
to knock on the door
and I heard someone coming up
behind me, the victim said during
testimony Tuesday.
He said the person identifed
himself as the man who placed the
order and provided him with cash
to pay for the order. At some point
as the driver was providing change,
the driver said the other man pulled
out a gun and told him to lie down
on the porch.
He put the gun to my forehead
and told me to be cool, the driver
said.
Te driver said the man took his
cash, wallet, cell phone and keys. He
then asked the man if he could at
least have his car keys, and said he
heard the man throw his keys on the
ground. Te driver said he waited
until the man had lef. He then got
in his car and returned
to Jimmy Johns, where
he dialed police.
Te driver provided
some physical descrip-
tion of the perpetrator.
However, the dark area
made it impossible to
provide a full descrip-
tion.
nnn
Te other victim who testifed, a
25-year-old Pizza Shuttle delivery
driver, said he was delivering four
pizzas and four 2-liters of soda to
the area of 7th and Michigan streets
about 1:20 a.m. Sept. 30.
Te driver said he couldnt fnd
the apartment so he called the
phone number the caller provided.
Te person who answered said he
was standing outside and soon two
people appeared nearby and be-
gan waving their hands to identify
themselves. Te driver said he ap-
proached the men, told them their
total and received three $20 bills for
the order. As the driver was getting
change from his pocket, he said he
felt what he believed to be a gun
placed to the back of his head.
He told me to get down on the
ground and the next thing I knew I
heard the gun ratchet he cocked
it, he said.
Te driver said that the man took
his cash, wallet, cell phone and keys.
Te driver was able to provide some
description of both perpetrators.
nnn
District Court Judge Robert
Fairchild, who heard testimony, has
set a Nov. 20 arraignment for 9:30
a.m.. At that point, he will likely de-
cide whether the case will go to trial.
He will also set a date, if necessary.

Woman identifed 55

ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX A murdered
young woman was buried as Jane
Doe in Colorado 55 years ago. At
the same time, an Arizona fam-
ily was puzzled and saddened as
Dorothy Gay Howards disappear-
ance stretched into decades.
It took a historian, a detective
and a determined family member
to make the connection after more
than a half century that these two
people were one and the same.
Howards younger sister,
Marlene Howard Ashman, the last
surviving member of the immedi-
ate family, was relieved last month
when authorities announced the
identification.
It was just complete and utter
shock, said Ashman, who lives
in Mena, Ark., but spoke to The
Associated Press from Newport,
N.C., where she was visiting her
daughter.
All these 55 years, I guess I
learned as a child to put it in an
abstract form so I could deal with
it; its easier to accept, Ashman
said.
But the younger sister is grap-
pling with the fact that Howard was
murdered and is aching to know
who killed her.

Man removed from
sex ofender registry
DETROIT Te Michigan
appeals court ordered a man re-
moved from the states sex-ofend-
er registry Wednesday, saying it
was cruel punishment for a young
Romeo who had a consensual
relationship with a teen and later
became her husband.
Robert Dipi-
azzas lawyer said
there are other
men like her cli-
ent who are on
the list and could
be removed be-
cause of the deci-
sion.
Its a victory for
common sense,
Miriam Auker-
man, an attorney, said. Teens in
romantic relationships shouldnt
be labeled as sexual predators.
In 2004, Dipiazza was 18 when
he had a consensual sexual rela-
tionship with a girl who was near-
ly 15. A teacher saw a photograph
of him with his hand on her breast
and contacted authorities in Mus-
kegon County.
Under Michigan law, the age of
consent is 16. Dipiazza was given
a break: A case of third-degree at-
tempted criminal sexual conduct
was erased afer he completed a
special probation in
2005. Tere was no
conviction but he
still was required to
register as a sex of-
fender.
Dipiazza lost a
series of jobs when
employers found
his name on the
registry, which is
on the Internet.
Te Muskegon-area man turned
to food stamps to survive and was
diagnosed with depression.
Te court said the registry
makes no distinction between
people like Dipiazza and men con-
victed of rape.
Its a victory for com-
mon sense. Teens in
romantic relationships
shouldnt be labeled
as sexual predators.

California canabis seizures
jump drastically in one year
AssociAted Press
SAN FRANCISCO
Authorities reported a staggering
jump in the number of marijuana
plants seized in Californias eradi-
cation effort, claiming a more than
50 percent jump over the previous
year.
The Campaign Against
Marijuana Planting seized 4.4 mil-
lion plants in 2009, up from 2.9
million plants in 2008, according
to state Department of Justice fig-
ures released Wednesday.
The state has reported a record
number of seizures each year since
2002, when more than 354,000
plants were cut down. Agents
cracked the one million mark in
2005.
This years increase was due to
the discovery of larger pot gar-
dens and the use of better eradi-
cation strategies, state Bureau of
Narcotics Enforcement spokes-
woman Michelle Gregory said.
Increased use of helicopters is
the main factor allowing agents
to find and destroy more plants,
she said.
Marijuana advocates and some
policy analysts have long accused
the state campaign of inflating
estimates of plants seized and their
value on the street.
Gregory said individual agents
keep a tally as they cut down
plants during each raid then ana-
lysts compile totals.
Agents seized 89 weapons and
made 111 arrests during the raids
that started in June and ended in
October. More than 75 percent of
the plants seized were grown on
public land, officials said.
Shasta County in central
Northern California topped the
list of counties with more than
557,000 plants pulled from the
ground. Lake County was second
with more than 506,000 followed
by Mendocino County with nearly
441,000 plants.

Maine rejects gay marriage
AssociAted Press
SAN FRANCISCO Stunned
and angry, national gay rights lead-
ers Wednesday blamed scare-mon-
gering ads and President Barack
Obamas lack of engagement for a
bitter election setback in Maine that
could alter the dynamics for both
sides in the gay-marriage debate.
Conservatives, in contrast, cel-
ebrated Maine voters rejection of
a law that would have allowed gay
couples to wed, depicting it as a
warning shot that should deter poli-
ticians in other states from pushing
for same-sex marriage.
Every time the citizens have
voted on marriage, they have always
sided with natural marriage, said
Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty
Counsel, a Florida-based Christian
legal group. Maine dramatically
illustrates the will of the people,
and politicians should wake up
and listen.
Gay activ-
ists were
f r u s t r a t e d
that Obama,
who insists
he staunchly
supports their
overall civil
rights agenda,
didnt speak
out forcefully
in defense
of Maines
m a r r i a g e
law before
Tuesdays referendum. The law
was repealed in a vote of 53 per-
cent to 47 percent.
President Obama missed an
opportunity to state his position
against these discriminatory attacks
with the clarity and moral impera-
tive that would have helped in this
close fight, said Evan Wolfson of the
national advocacy group Freedom
to Marry. The anti-gay forces are
throwing millions of dol-
lars into various unsubtle
ads aimed at scaring peo-
ple, so subtle statements
from the White House are
not enough.
The White House, asked
about the criticism, had no
immediate comment.
The marriage debate
is simmering in at least a
half-dozen states where a
same-sex marriage bill is
pending or where a court
ruling or existing law is
being eyed by conserva-
tives for possible challenge.
Had Maines law been upheld
by voters, it would have become
the sixth state to legalize gay mar-
riage and the first to affirm it by
popular vote.

HACKENSACK, N.J. Te law-

Duncsak.
Hes not running a marathon.

is execute his son.
Prosecutors claim Ates drove-
from his home in Fort Pierce, Fla.,
to Duncsaks $1.1 million home in
Ramsey, about 25 miles northwest of
Manhattan, in August 2006 and shot
him as he returned from work. Police
quickly suspected Ates and found

NEW YORK A late-day
slump left stocks mixed Wednesday
as investors couldnt hold on to their
optimism after the Federal Reserve
gave an encouraging assessment of
the economy.
The Dow Jones industrial aver-
age, up more than 150 points after
the Fed described the economy as
showing more signs of recovery,
closed up 30. The broader indexes
were narrowly mixed.
Analysts couldnt point to any
one reason why stocks gave up
their gains, although some said
the market is increasingly nervous
as the release of the governments
October jobs report on Friday
approaches. Financial stocks fell
especially hard in the last hour of
trading after a House vote to speed
up the effective date of limits on
credit card companies, and added
to the overall markets pullback.
The Fed, as expected, left its
benchmark interest rate unchanged
at a record low of essentially zero
and said the economy is slowly
rebounding. Its announcement fol-
lowed reports on service industries
and employment that eased two
of the biggest worries about the
economy.
The Feds statement accompa-
nying its rate decision noted that
housing activity has picked up in
recent months. It also said consum-
er spending, while still constrained
by unemployment and other prob-
lems, appears to be growing.
Policymakers said they would
keep interest rates low for an
extended period and said infla-
tion is likely to remain tame. That
eased some worries that rising
prices would force the Fed to boost
interest rates and risk cutting off a
nascent recovery in the economy.
But, as often happens after Fed
meetings, stocks were unable to
hold their gains. The Fed state-
ment, while more upbeat than in
recent months, did note that there
are ongoing job losses. And inves-
tors were well aware that the Labor
Departments October jobs report
is just two days away.
Meanwhile, the House approved
new rules for credit card companies
unless lenders agree to freeze inter-
est rates and fees. The vote would
move up the February effective
date of legislation already passed
by Congress that limits what banks
can charge for credit cards.
It didnt appear likely that the
Senate would also pass the mea-
sure, but the House vote still sent
financial stocks falling. And when
bank stocks fall, the rest of the
market tends to follow.
According to preliminary calcu-
lations, the Dow rose 30.23, or 0.3
percent, to 9,802.14. It had been
up as much as 156 after the Fed
announcement.
The broader Standard & Poors
500 index rose 1.09, or 0.1 per-
cent, to 1,046.50, and the Nasdaq
composite index fell 1.80, or 0.1
percent, to 2,055.52.
Winning stocks were ahead of
losers by 8 to 7 on the New York
Stock Exchange, where volume
came to 1.35 billion shares.
The Fed appeared more upbeat
than investors by the end of trad-
ing Wednesday.

RICHMOND, Va. Attorneys
for John Allen Muhammad
released a May 2008 letter on
Wednesday in which the master-
mind of the deadly 2002 sniper
attacks in the Washington, D.C.,
area proclaims his innocence.
The rambling, handwritten
letter was made available because
of requests for a statement from
Muhammad, his attorneys
wrote on the Web page of their
law firm. The letter was filed
in federal court in connection
with Muhammads unsuccessful
attempt to block his execution,
the attorneys said.
Muhammad, 48, is scheduled
to die by injection on Nov. 10 at
a Virginia prison.
In the letter dated May 8,
2 0 0 8 ,
and rife
with mis-
s p e l l i ng s ,
Muhammad
writes of
discussions
with a new
team of
a t t o r n e y s
and of assur-
ances that
exculpatory evidence that he
claims was withheld from his
trial will prove my innocent
and what really happen ....
The letter adds: So all you
police and prosecutors can
stand-down rushing to mur-
der this innocent black man for
something he nor his son (Lee)
had nothing to do with ....
Lee Boyd Malvo was
Muhammads teenage accom-
plice, who is serving a life sen-
tence. Muhammad fostered a
father-son relationship with
Malvo but the two were not
related.
Jonathan Sheldon, one of
Muhammads attorneys, wrote
in an e-mail to The Associated
Press that the letter has been
filed in U.S. District Court since
May 2008. It just had not come
to public attention, like much of
our filings, he wrote.
The letter, written under
the heading Attorney Client
Privilege, was apparently filed
during an attempt
by lawyers to spare
Muhammad from the
death penalty.
In their filing,
the lawyers said
Muhammad was
regularly whipped
with hose pipes and
electrical cords and
beaten with ham-
mers and sticks by
family members during a bru-
tal childhood.
Tuesday, Muhammads attor-
neys asked the U.S. Supreme
Court to stop his execution.

PORTLAND, Maine Voters
approved a referendum making
Maine the fifth state to allow
retail pot dispensaries, but medi-
cal marijuana advocates say it
wont become like California,
where hundreds of marijuana
shops have popped up and come
under critical scrutiny.
California, Colorado, New
Mexico and Rhode Island allow
for places where medical mari-
juana patients can legally buy pot.
Maine voters gave their approval
Tuesday, 59 percent to 41 per-
cent.
Referendum opponents point-
ed at Los Angeles as proof that
cannabis outlets are a bad idea.
There, the district attorney has
vowed to crack down on places
that are selling the drug to people
who dont qualify.
But Ethan Nadelmann of the
New York-based Drug Policy
Alliance said theres no chance
Maine would become like Los
Angeles, which he called the
wild West of medical mari-
juana, because of stricter provi-
sions.
Maine law requires that
dispensaries be licensed by
the state, while California law
does not, he said. Maine law
also narrowly defines medical
conditions for which patients can
be prescribed pot, while California
allows doctors to recommend it
for virtually any ailment.
Fourteen states have laws
allowing some use of marijuana
for medical purposes. Maines
medical marijuana law, first
approved in 1999, allows the use
of pot for debilitating conditions
such as cancer, AIDS and multiple
sclerosis.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. The
family of a Connecticut woman
mauled and blinded by a chimpan-
zee sought Wednesday to sue the
state for $150 million, saying offi-
cials failed to prevent the attack.
Attorneys for Charla Nashs
family filed a notice Wednesday
with the states Office of Claims
Commissioner asking for permis-
sion to sue the state.
The 200-pound chimpanzee
named Travis went berserk in
February when his owner, Sandra
Herold, asked Nash to help lure him
back into her house in Stamford.
The animal chewed off Nashs
hands, nose, lips and eyelids; she
remains in stable condition at the
Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
A Department of Environmental
Protection biologist warned state
officials before the attack that
Travis could seriously hurt some-
one if he felt threatened.

Attorney General Richard

He said that he is sympathetic over

Nashs family earlier filed a
$50 million lawsuit
against Herold, saying
she was negligent and
reckless for lacking
the ability to control
a wild animal with

Herolds attorney

work-related and
said her familys

treated as a workers

The strategy, if successful, would
limit potential damages in the case
and insulate the chimp owner from

NEW YORK The U.S. service
sector grew for a second straight
month in October, but at a slower
pace than in September, as a broad
economic recovery creeps along.
The Institute for Supply
Management said Wednesday that
its service index dipped to 50.6
last month from 50.9. Any reading
above 50 signals growth. Analysts
polled by Thomson Reuters had
expected a 51.5 for the index that
tracks the countrys hospitals, retail-
ers, financial services companies
and truckers.
But new orders, an augur of
future activity, rose to 55.6, from
54.2 in September. Business activity
also rose.
Still, the decline in employment
worsened. The employment track-
er has contracted for 21 of the past
22 months.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve
pledged Wednesday to keep a key
interest rate at a record low for
an extended period, and said
economic activity
has continued to
pick up since its
last meeting in late
September.
But Fed
Chairman Ben
Bernanke and his
colleagues warned
that rising jobless-
ness and hard-to-
get-credit could
hinder the rebound in the months
ahead.
In the ISMs survey, nine indus-
tries said their businesses grew last
month, with real estate, construc-
tion, corporate management and
support services showing the biggest
gains. Seven sectors contracted.
The index tracks more than 80
percent of the countrys economic
activity.
Last months dip may be a sign
that the recovery is
still struggling to
gain any momen-
tum, said Paul
Ashworth, senior
U.S. economist at
Capital Economics in
Toronto. He added,
though, that a similar
slip in July was later
reversed and that
the new report may
possibly be nothing more than a
temporary blip.
The service sectors recovery
has been choppy, unlike manufac-
turings sharper move upward as
companies restock inventories and
demand increases from overseas.
We believe the
evidence will show
that the state ... failed
to adequately address
a serious public safety
issue.

EL DORADO, Texas Women
in a polygamist sect were taught
that their fathers or husbands and
the sects prophet had the right
to direct every aspect of their
lives, a former member testified
Wednesday in the child sexual
abuse trial of a current sect mem-
ber.
As a woman you have no direct
connection to God, said Rebecca
Musser, a former member of the
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints. Every
area of our lives was directed by the
church and their teachings.
Musser left the church in 2002
and never lived at the Yearning For
Zion Ranch, the site of a state raid
in April 2008 that led to the trial of
38-year-old Raymond Jessop, who
is accused of marrying an under-
age girl. Prosecutors asked Musser
to talk about her experience in the
FLDS and how church records are
kept.
Jessop is the first man from the
sect to face trial since the raid. The
girl he is accused of marrying when
she was 15 had been reassigned
to Jessop from his brother, accord-
ing to records seized by authorities.
If convicted, Jessop faces 20 years
in prison.
The prosecution is relying on
records and dictations by jailed
FLDS leader Warren Jeffs that were
seized from the ranch. In one dicta-
tion, Jeffs indicates that he advised
people at the ranch to avoid taking
the girl to the hospital even though
she had been in labor for days.
I knew that the girl being 16
years old, if she went to the hospi-
tal, they could put Raymond Jessop
in jeopardy of prosecution as the
government is looking for any rea-
son to come against us there, Jeffs
wrote.
Jeffs, who is revered as a prophet
by FLDS members, was convicted
in Utah as an accomplice to rape.
He is jailed in Arizona awaiting
trial on charges related to underage
marriages there and faces sexual
assault and bigamy charges in
Texas.
In all, 12 men from the sect have
been indicted on charges ranging
from failure to report child abuse
to sexual assault. The 439 children
taken from the ranch have all been
returned to their parents or other
relatives, but the seized documents
resulted in the criminal charges.
The FLDS is a breakaway sect of
the mainstream Mormon church,
which renounced polygamy more
than a century ago and does not
recognize the FLDS. The FLDS
bought a ranch about six years
ago in El Dorado, about 150 miles
northwest of San Antonio.

Family members and team-
mates of three North Dakota col-
lege softball players have thrown
roses and softballs into a pond
where the students were found
dead inside their Jeep.
The bodies of 22-year-old
Kyrstin Gemar, of San Diego;
20-year-old Afton Williamson of
Lake Elsinore, Calif.; and 21-year-
old Ashley Neufeld, of Brandon,
Manitoba were found inside their
white SUV on Tuesday. Authorities
say it appears the three were on a
stargazing trip when their vehicle
slid into the pond in southwest
North Dakota.
Police traced cell phone signals
from the womens frantic calls to
friends late Sunday. These sig-
nals helped lead authorities to the
pond near Dickinson.
About 30 relatives, friends and
teammates gathered at the pond
on Wednesday.
Stark County Sheriff Clarence
Tuhy said the womens SUV
was found resting on its wheels
Tuesday in about 10 feet of water
hidden by tall grass, with the
doors and windows closed.
When youre not familiar with
an area like that it would have
been very easy to drive into, Tuhy
said.
The sheriff said the Dickinson
State University students were on
private property. He stopped short
of saying they were trespassing.
No foul play is suspected in the
deaths of the students. The bodies
of the women and Neufelds dog
were found inside the SUV after
signals from their last desperate
phone calls late Sunday helped
lead authorities to the farm.
Police Lt. Rod Banyai said that
the autopsies will help determine
the exact cause of death and
whether the women were under
the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Defensive coordinator Clint
Bowen certainly understands the
quick-changing nature of college
football.
Four weeks ago, after a disap-
pointing performance in a 41-36
victory against Iowa State, Bowen
was relegated to answering ques-
tions about Kansas defensive
problems. Not much was posi-
tive.
But in the last two weeks the
questions tossed Bowens way were
far more optimistic as Kansas
defense has steadily progressed
since the Iowa State game.
If there is one lesson Bowen
has fully grasped this season, its
that life in the Big 12 North can
change as quickly as the Kansas
weather.
Its kind of proven to be a
wacky year in the Big 12, Bowen
said. Its week to week, play to
play right now. Thats what we tell
our kids. Theres no time to relax
in this conference right now.
He continued with his
explanation of Kansas current
situation before adding this:
We have to play it like its the
last play of the Super Bowl.
As Kansas prepares to travel
to Kansas State this Saturday, the
Jayhawks find themselves in a
three-way tie for last place in
the Big 12 North. Yet with three
of their last four games against
North opponents, including the
first-place Wildcats, the Jayhawks
still possess a legitimate chance
for the North title.
Still, Mangino and his players
ignored that possibility, insisting
that the Jayhawks werent strain-
ing to glance that far down the
road.
We cant sit around talk-
ing about winning the North,
Mangino said. We have to talk
about winning a game.
With Kansas carrying a three-
game losing streak into Saturdays
game, its a point well taken.
Kansas rolled through and
won its first four
games in the
nonconference
season before
sneaking past
Iowa State with
a win in the con-
ference opener.
Then, the
offense started
c o mmi t t i n g
turnovers, the defense couldnt
quite hold after halftime and sud-
denly this weeks game against
K-State presents Kansas with
its final chance to capture the
North.
A loss to K-State or to
any Big 12 opponent for that
matter would end any chance
of Kansas playing in the Big 12
championship game on Dec. 5.
With whats happened the
last three weeks, to
still be able to say
that we can still
win the North if we
take care of business
from here on out
its definitely some-
thing that pushes us,
senior wide receiver
Kerry Meier said.
Its been our guid-
ing tool and something that has
pushed us all summer long, all
winter long and all throughout
the offseason.

commentary
Laying the
blame for
football's
rough season
T
he season hasnt been
good, and everyone knows
it. The harder question to
answer is why the season hasnt
been good.
Why has Kansas played such
underwhelming football thus far,
and who is to blame? It is tricky
to answer the questions of how
and why with any degree of cer-
tainty. This makes these ques-
tions uncertain.
Perhaps Todd Reesing, injury
or no, is to blame. One would
expect better play from a third-
year starting quarterback espe-
cially as many consider Reesing
to be the most productive player
in that position in the schools
history. But then again, maybe its
too easy to lay the blame at the
star quarterbacks feet.
Maybe Reesing and Kansas
barely there running game would
have performed better were they
functioning behind a more expe-
rienced offensive line. However,
the offense has still enjoyed a cer-
tain measure of success this year.
This success makes them hard to
blame.
So perhaps we ought to look
to the other side of the ball at
the secondary or the lineback-
ing corps. There, one will find
no shortage of scapegoats. Any
member of the secondary not
named Darrell Stuckey has
moved either up or down on
the depth chart, or into a dif-
ferent position altogether. The
linebacking corps is a similar
hodgepodge, constructed of play-
ers who are either too young, too
new to the position or lacking
some vital physical trait.
Yet is this the fault of the play-
ers? The jumble in the ranks
might lead one to blame the assis-
tant coaches. After all, isnt it the
job of the coaches to formulate a
coherent strategy, and to recruit
players with whom that strategy
can be successfully executed? If
players are constantly jumbled
about, how can they be expected
to play well?
Perhaps the buck shouldnt stop
until it reaches the desk of Mark
Mangino. The head coach has
ultimate control, and thus ulti-
mate responsibility. Yet it seems
unlikely that he just forgot how
to coach. This is the same man,
after all, who resurrected the
corpse that was Kansas football.
So where should the blame lie?
Perhaps the only reasonable
conclusions are who cares? and
why bother? What is done is
done, after all. No amount of
finger pointing or demonizing
will lift Kansas past Colorado,
Oklahoma, or Texas Tech.
No, the only real question right
now is how Kansas will react to
this taste of adversity. Will the
team fold? Will the team cap a
disappointing three-game stretch
with more losses? Or, alterna-
tively, will Kansas rebound and
make a push for the Big 12 North
Title? Whatever the case may be,
the answer to those questions
and thus, the only answer of
consequence will begin to take
shape this Saturday.

San Antonio, Texas Kansas
fell to the No. 1 seed Missouri
3-2 in overtime in the Big 12
Quarterfinals Wednesday night,
ending the Jayhawks conference
tournament run and most likely
their season.
The Big 12 regular season
champions earned revenge for a
3-2 loss to the Jayhawks last Friday
in Lawrence which ended their
unbeaten conference season.
Missouri (13-5-3) put Kansas
(12-8-2), the tournaments eighth
seed, under pressure early on, but
it was sophomore forward Emily
Cressy who scored the games first
goal to give the Jayhawks a 1-0
advantage in the 29th minute. The
goal gave Cressy 12 on the season,
which ties her for second-most in
a season by a Jayhawk.
In the second half, Missouri
equalized right away in the 47th
minute with a volley into the
upper part of the net by Jessie
Crabtree.
But Kansas took the lead right
back a minute later when senior
forward Kim Boyer headed senior
Monica Dolinskys corner kick
into the bottom corner of the net.
The Kansas defense withstood
constant pressure from Missouri
in the second half until the 57th
minute. Missouri forward Kristin
Andrighetto drilled a near-perfect
volley from the 18-yard line into
the upper right-hand corner of
the net.
For the rest of the half, it was
all Kansas could do to fend off
Missouris unrelenting offense.
Boyer headed a ball away from
her own goal line and freshman
goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau blocked
a shot into the post to keep Kansas
alive.
The first half was pretty even,

ill Self has a problem.
Granted, its a nice prob-
lem to have as a coach.
It isnt that the Jayhawks dont
have the talent to win a National
Championship in that regard
theres hardly a question, Kansas
is stacked the problem is
theres too much talent to go
around.
Start with the freshmen.
Sometimes its a safe bet to
assume that the newcomers will
be the ones wearing the redshirts
when the season rolls around, but
after watching Elijah Johnsons
raw athleticism, Xavier Henrys
scoring touch and Thomas
Robinsons explosiveness in the
paint, its hard to say that any one
of them wont see action this year.
Johnson came out and said he
saw no reason to redshirt, and
frankly there isnt one. Hell log
plenty of time as a backup to
Sherron Collins, and of the three
freshmen, hell probably see the
least amount of minutes. Henry
will likely crack the starting line-
up and Self said Robinson would
see plenty of minutes thrown his
way.
Last years new guys seem to
be the prime redshirt candidates
namely Travis Releford and
Mario Little but I suspect nei-
ther is chomping at the bit to sit
out on a team that has as good a
chance as any to take home a title
in Indianapolis later this year.
Both sat out Tuesdays exhibi-
tion only incoming players
can play exhibitions and still be
eligible for a redshirt. Little, in
particular, seems like an odd
candidate because of his age, but
as of right now, its impossible to
predict what he could bring to
the Jayhawks when completely
healthy.
If Little could provide an
athletic presence at the three to
balance Xavier Henry, hed be
a perfect fit for the Jayhawks.
If he struggles with injuries or
consistency, it will be a wasted
senior year for Little, something
neither he nor the Jayhawks
want to see.
On the other hand, it would
surprise me to see Releford take
the floor this year for Kansas.
As much of a fan favorite as the
local kid was last year Releford
played high school ball in
Kansas City its unclear at best
whether or not hes ready to be a
consistent contributor, especially
on a team as deep as this years
Jayhawks.
Two players, C.J. Henry and
Brady Morningstar, would seem
to be perfect redshirt candidates
this year, had they not already
burned them.
Henry may get lost in the
shuffle at point guard, the deep-
est position for the Jayhawks, but
he wore a redshirt last year for
the Memphis Tigers.
He also took three years away
before that as a minor league
baseball player. Keeping him
away from basketball any longer
would only be doing him a dis-
service.
Morningstar was suspended
for the first semester after being
arrested for a DWI. Had he not
worn a redshirt during Kansas
national title year, it would have
made only too much sense for
Self to bench Morningstar for
the year.
Selflessness will have to prevail
should this years Jayhawks live
up to their considerable poten-
tial. Theres just too much talent
to keep everyone happy.
Its a problem. But its a nice
one to have.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Given
Derrick Johnsons sweet, humble
nature, its a wonder he ever went
out for football, let alone became an
All-American linebacker and first-
round draft choice.
He speaks softly and smiles
warmly and never forgets to call his
mom. But hes also 6-foot-3 and 240
pounds of lean, bulging muscle. An
unusually gifted athlete, he set an
NCAA record his senior season at
Texas with nine forced fumbles and
won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy
as the top defensive player in the
land.
But the instant NFL stardom
many predicted has not arrived.
And if he doesnt win his starting
job back, it never will. For about
six weeks Johnsons been riding the
Kansas City bench, jerked out of the
lineup for reasons that have never
been made public.
A player with Johnsons talent
cant crack the starting lineup for
a team thats 1-6? He wouldnt help
a defense ranked 30th out of 32
teams?
First-year head coach Todd Haley
says hes satisfied that Johnson is
working hard. Johnson says hes
doing everything he can to get
back.
But in the meantime, Demorrio
Williams keeps playing well and
giving no indication hes ready to
return the job to the man who
not so long ago was once hailed as
the best defensive player in college
football.
To keep his emotions flowing in
a positive direction, Johnson has
called upon friends, family and
faith. Still, this isnt easy.
It stinks, Johnson said. It stinks
to not be starting or not be playing,
or not be playing like I should. Not
being out there on the field like I
usually am. But its made my mind
stronger.
Chiefs fans, especially those
who watched Johnson and the
Longhorns beat Kansas his senior
season, thought theyd grabbed the
next great linebacker when he fell
to them in the 2005 draft.
Texas, a school thats produced
more than a few good players at his
position, had never before had one
who totaled 65 tackles for losses.
Johnson was an instant starter
with the Chiefs. Yet, plagued by
little nagging injuries, he never
seemed to fulfill the great expecta-
tions so many people had draped
around his muscular physique.
Some said he was too passive. Some
said he lacked that fire in the belly
that great defensive players carry
around like business cards.

AINESVILLE, Fla. Florida
coach Urban Meyer believes
Southeastern Conference officials
missed a late hit on Tim Tebow in
Saturdays game against Georgia.
Meyer said Wednesday the
crew calling the game should have
flagged Bulldogs linebacker Nick
Williams for knocking his quar-
terback to the ground well after
he had gotten rid of the football.
Meyer sent video
of the play to Rogers
Redding, the leagues
coordinator of offi-
cials. Meyer declined
to reveal what the
SEC told him, saying
he didnt want to step
out of line.
Last week the SEC
changed its discipline
policy about coaches
publicly criticizing
officials, making the
punishment either a fine or a sus-
pensions and doing away with the
reprimands.
Meyer told reporters on the
weekly SEC conference call the
play was directly in front of the
referee and should have penal-
ized. Tebow handed off to running
back Jeff Demps, took a few steps
to his right and wasnt looking
when Williams came unblocked
off the right edge and slammed
into his chest.
That should have been a
penalty, in my opinion, Meyer said.
Obviously, it should have been.
Youve got to protect quarterbacks.
Thats the whole purpose. Its right
in front of the referee. Im not sure
how theyre going to handle that,
but ... that was one of the plays we
did send in.
Meyer didnt mention the play
until asked about it Wednesday,
possibly trying to avoid drawing
punishment from the league. He
also prefaced his comments by
saying he has
great respect
for SEC officials
and the way the
league handles
complaints.
The SEC
decided to stop
handing out
reprimands for
ripping offi-
cials after three
coaches in less
than a week
were reprimanded last month.
Commissioner Mike Slive was
given full discretion by the leagues
athletic directors and presidents to
hand out the punishment. He will
determine the amount of fines and
lengths of suspensions on a case-
by-case basis.
The SECs officiating, and
public complaints by Tennessees
Lane Kiffin and Mississippi States
Dan Mullen, has drawn plenty
of unwanted attention for the
league.

He also leads all freshmen with
13 tackles for loss.
Hes third overall among Big 12
defensive linemen with 43 tackles,
trailing only Crick and Suh.
Those are impressive numbers
for a player who began the
season second on the depth chart
at defensive end. It wasnt long
before he moved into the starting
role.
Teammates and coaches have
been impressed.
Hes one of the best players
around that Ive seen at Mizzou,
senior captain linebacker Sean
Weatherspoon said. He doesnt
know how good he can be, but
hell find out soon that the skys
the limit.
Smiths effort has drawn high
praise from coach Gary Pinkel,
who compared Smiths ability to
adapt to those of two standout
offensive players from the recent
past.
He could be in the wrong
place at the wrong time and end
up where the ball was supposed
to be, somehow, someway, Pinkel
said. Brad Smith and J-Mac
(Jeremy Maclin) could do that.
Even in the Tigers 41-7 loss
to Texas, Smith managed to turn
heads with 11 tackles, four for
loss, and two sacks.
At 6-5 and 255 pounds, Smith is
the tallest player on the Missouri
defense and his unique type of
rangy athleticism makes him a
menace for opposing offensive
lines.
Hes very physically gifted,
defensive coordinator Dave
Steckel said. He can run, hes
strong, he can change direction.
Hes the whole package.
Smith has also developed a
nose for the big
play.
Earlier in
the season I was
kind of relying on
my athleticism
but now Im
actually starting
to understand
the game a little
bit better and
starting to have
a feel for it, he
said. Ive just been watching a
lot more film and focusing a lot
more on technique.
Coaches have taken note of
Smiths strong work ethic.
All of our players are very
hard working, Steckel said. I
think thats why Aldon is growing
and maturing as a player, because
hes working hard, taking coach-
ing, hes growing each day as he
gets better.
With all the hype beginning to
surround him, Pinkel spoke to
the importance of keeping Smith
levelheaded and ready to play
each and every week.
What I always
tell players, kids
that are starting to
get that notoriety
that they could be
really good is to
immerse themselves
in the team, he
said. When you
immerse yourself
in your team, youre
constantly doing
things for the team,
getting better for the team, and it
keeps you grounded.
Hes very physically
gifted. He can run,
hes strong, he can
change direction. Hes
the whole package.

NEW YORK Paint the town
in pinstripes! Nearly a decade after
their dynasty ended on a blooper in
the desert, the New York Yankees
are baseball's best again.
Hideki Matsui tied a World
Series record with six RBIs, Andy
Pettitte won on short rest and New
York beat the Philadelphia Phillies
7-3 in Game 6 on Wednesday night,
finally seizing that elusive 27th title
the most in all of sports.
It was the team's first since win-
ning three straight from 1998-
2000.
Matsui, the Series MVP, pow-
ered a quick rout of old foe Pedro
Martinez. And when Mariano
Rivera got the final out, it was
ecstasy in the Bronx for George
Steinbrenner's go-for-broke bunch.
What a way for Alex Rodriguez,
Derek Jeter and crew to christen
their $1.5 billion ballpark: One sea-
son, one championship.
And to think it capped a season
that started in turmoil a steroids
scandal involving A-Rod, followed
by hip surgery that kept him out
until May.
"My teammates, coaches and the
organization stood by me and now
we stand here as world champi-
ons," Rodriguez said. "We're going
to enjoy it, and we're going to
party!"
During postgame ceremonies
on the field, the big video board
in center flashed: "Boss, this is
for you." And commissioner Bud
Selig dedicated the moment to
Steinbrenner.
About 100 miles south, disap-
pointment.
For Chase Utley and the Phillies,
it was a frustrating end to another
scintillating season. Philadelphia
fell two wins short of becoming the
first NL team to repeat as World
Series champions since the 1975-
76 Cincinnati Reds.
Ryan Howard's sixth-inning
homer came too late to wipe away
his World Series slump, and Phillies
pitchers rarely managed to slow
Matsui and the Yankees' machine.
"It's important in our next cou-
ple years to stay afloat," Phillies
manager Charlie Manuel said. "I
know we can do better."
In a fitting coincidence, this
championship came eight years
to the day after the Yankees lost
Game 7 of the 2001 World Series
in Arizona on Luis Gonzalez's bro-
ken-bat single off Rivera.
New York spent billions trying
to get back. At long last, it did.
"We're looking forward to this
parade," Jeter said.
Hey Babe and Yogi, Mr. October
and Joltin' Joe you've got com-
pany. Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia
and a new generation of Yankees
have procured their place in pin-
striped lore.
Now, all on the other side of age
35, they have another success to
celebrate.
And surely they remember the
familiar parade route, up Broadway
through the Canyon of Heroes.
Indeed, a New York City-sized
party is next. Nine years in the
making, with all the glitz and glam-
our this tony town can offer.
"You never know when you're
going to get back here," Posada
said.
Carrying flags that read 2009
World Series champions, Joba
Chamberlain and Nick Swisher led
a victory lap around the warning
track. Players high-fived fans, then
sprayed bubby behind the mound.
For the 79-year-old Steinbrenner,
who has been in declining health,
it was the seventh championship
since he bought the team in 1973.
Though he stayed back home
in Tampa, Fla., he certainly wasn't
forgotten. The grounds crew wore
"Win it for The Boss" shirts last
week, which were on sale outside
the ballpark Wednesday.
New York wasted its chance
to wrap things up in Game 5 at
Philadelphia, then set its sights on
clinching the World Series at home
for the first time since 1999.
While nine years between
titles is hardly a drought for most
teams, it was almost an eternity in
Yankeeland.
New York's eight seasons with-
out a championship was the third-
longest stretch for the Yankees
since their first one, following gaps
of 17 (1979-95) and 14 (1963-76).
Playing perhaps his final game
with the Yankees, Matsui hit a two-
run homer off Martinez in the
second inning and a two-run single
on an 0-2 pitch in the third.

Kansas and Iowa State defeated
Nebraska in consecutive weeks.
Missouri started the season
0-3, while K-State opened the
year 3-1.
Try sifting through pages full
of legal jargon without any back-
ground information in the field.
Thats what analyzing the Big 12
North has become this season.
Nothing, it seems, has gone as
previously expected.
But even with three losses in
the first-half of the eight-game
conference season, the Jayhawks
still have a realistic chance of win-
ning the North title.
The road to reaching that point
starts this Saturday with K-State.
This ones a little more impor-
tant because its all about how
you finish, senior safety Darrell
Stuckey said. Thats what makes
it a little more important than the
rest of them. You want to finish
strong or just as strong as you
started.

ST. LOUIS Josh Browns
first NFL pass was not a thing
of beauty. The St. Louis Rams
kicker joked that style points are
overrated.
Results are what count and
Browns flip to tight end Daniel
Fells on a fake field goal attempt
produced a 36-yard touchdown
pass in Sundays 17-10 victory at
Detroit. It was a key play for the
Rams (1-7) in ending a 17-game
game losing streak.
Brown, who also kicked a
41-yard field goal, was named
NFC Special Teams Player of the
Week on Wednesday.
On 4th and 8 from the Detroit
36 late in the first half, quarterback
Marc Bulger let the play clock run
down before calling a timeout.
Out came Brown and the Rams
field-goal unit.
Ryan Neill snapped the ball to
holder Donnie Jones, who flipped
the ball to Brown. Brown rolled
to his left and shot-putted the ball
to Fells, who broke one tackle en
route to the end zone.
Brown was a running back
playing eight-man football
Foyil (Okla.) High School. He
considered trying to run for the
first down but threw instead.
I didnt really even use my
shoulder on that throw, Brown
said. I wasnt trying to make it
pretty, just effective.
The throw opened Brown, who
is in his seventh season, to some
razzing from his teammates.
Everybody has been busting
me on, Brown said. If youre
looking for style points, there were
definitely none awarded. But, you
know, we got six points out of it
and results are the only thing that
matters.
The special teams unit practiced
the fake twice in practice last
week.
Hopefully, theyll let me
attempt a few more of these
things, Brown said. Maybe even
keep the ball one or times.
In about 30 years, Brown said
the throw may look better when
hes describing his touchdown
pass to his grandkids.
Nothing wrong with a little
embellishment, Brown said.
NFL
but the second half, we just ran
out of gas, Francis said. We
couldnt keep the ball because
couldnt move off the ball as much
as we wanted to.
But Kansas managed to hold
on for the rest of regulation to
send the game into overtime tied
at 2-2.
Six minutes into overtime,
however, Andrighetto ended the
game with another well-placed
shot from the top of the box. She
created space in front of Kansas
defense and hit the ball into the
upper corner once again.
The Tigers dominated nearly
every aspect of the game, outshoot-
ing the Jayhawks 30-10, including
11 on goal, and receiving 16 cor-
ner kicks to the Jayhawks three.
Francis expressed pride at the
way his players held on despite
their fatigue.
We battled as hard as we could
today, especially after a play-in
game on Monday, he said. That
showed a lot of character.
Missouri will move on to face
the No. 5 seed Oklahoma State
on Friday, while Kansas returns
home to await the announcement
of the NCAA Tournament field
on Nov. 9, though Francis said
he holds little hope of making
the cut.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
Down by a point after sub-par
first-half performances by
Chauncey Billups and Carmelo
Anthony, the Denver Nuggets
become the latest team to take
advantage of the New Jersey Nets
woes in the third quarter.
Billups and Anthony woke up
the Nuggets by leading a 44-point
t hi rd- quar t er
assault that car-
ried unbeaten
Denver to its
fifth straight
win, a 122-94
decision over
the victory over
the winless Nets
on Wednesday
night.
The first half,
we couldnt get it get going at all,
said Billups, who scored all 12 of
his points in the third quarter.
There are not many times when
Melo and I are off at the same
time. But the bench came in and
did a great job. Sometimes, the
shots dont go, but we just had to
regroup at halftime and get the
job done.
The 5-0 start is Denvers best
since winning six straight in 1985-
86. It also handed the Nets their
fifth straight loss, tying the worst
start in franchise history, set in
1996-97.
We knew going into half-
time that obviously Carmelo and
Chauncey were going to lead the
charge and thats exactly what they
did, said Nets coach Lawrence
Frank, whose team scored seven
points in the third quarter in a
loss to Charlotte
on Monday night.
They dominated
the paint and the
perimeter in the
third quarter and we
never recovered.
Denver hit 17 of
25 shots and out-
scored the Nets
44-26 in the third
quarter in turning a
51-50 deficit into a 94-77 lead.
Billups scored the first seven
points to give Denver the lead
for good. Anthony, who was 1
of 11 in the first half, scored 11
of his 22 points in the quarter,
which was five points shy of
the Nets all-time worst third
quarter.

By JAySON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
In interviews, freshman safety
Lubbock Smith remains quiet. He
looks the questioner in the eye
and politely offers his response,
but he does so with little expres-
sion on his face.
Then, Smith gets onto the sub-
ject of tackling. His eyes light up
and a sly smile creeps across his
face.
If an observer notices one thing
about Smiths play, its this: Smith
loves to tackle and, generally, he
does so very well.
Hes not afraid to put his face
on people, run through and wrap
up, defensive coordinator Clint
Bowen said. I say all the time:
Tackling is about a little bit of
want-to and toughness. He has
both of those.
Smiths affection for tackling
stems from where else? the
football-crazed state of Texas.
Yet it certainly wasnt an initial
connection between player and
contact.
When I first started playing,
Smith said, I was actually very
scared to go and tackle.
Smith overcame his fear of con-
tact as a seven-year-old. He was
playing with boys two or three
years older than he was because
teams were divided by weight, not
age. One day at practice, Smith
found himself encircled by his
older teammates in a drill called
bullpen.
The objective was straightfor-
ward. When the coach called a
certain players number, Smith
had to run and collide with the
player wearing that jersey.
It was then, only after thudding
pads with 11 or 12 of his team-
mates, that Smiths current appre-
ciation for tackling took hold. It
hasnt left him since.
And it grew through the years,
Smith said. Playing against dif-
ferent great players at a young age,
I just wanted to go out and initiate
that I was a great hitter. Inflict the
pain on them, not let them do the
same to me.
The Sunday after Kansas 41-36
victory against Iowa State on Oct.
10, Bowen approached Smith with
a rather simple proposal: Practice
well this week and the starting job
is yours.
Smith upheld his end of the
bargain and subsequently started
against Colorado in Kansas next
game. But even before Bowens
proposal, Smith, who redshirted
last season, was never too far away
from earning a spot in Kansas
starting lineup.
He needed to make me trust
him a little bit more early with his
eye-control, Bowen said. A safe-
ty, its a bad thing to stare at the
quarterback, and Lubbock likes
staring at the quarterback. I told
him when he proved to me that he
would read his keys, then hed get
to play. And hes done that.
Since entering Kansas starting
lineup, Smith has routinely dis-
played a knack for tackling, espe-
cially around the line of scrim-
mage.
In three games, Smith has made
19 tackles. He has also helped to
cure a Kansas defense that was
severely ailing after the disap-
pointing loss against Iowa State.
Coach Mark Mangino also
inserted freshman cornerback D.J.
Beshears and freshman defen-
sive lineman John Williams into
the starting lineup before the
Colorado game.
The defense, meanwhile, has
drastically improved.
Putting Lubbock back there
has helped because hes a tough
customer, Mangino said. He
doesnt back down.
Thats certainly been the case so
far this season.
Senior safety Darrell Stuckey
described Smiths tackling as very
consistent, while Bowen praised
Smiths aggressive playing style.
For his part, Smith simply said,
I love contact. Its a phrase drip-
ping with football toughness. And
its a phrase that seems to sum up
Smiths football personality.
I want to be the first person
to get up after a hit, Smith said.
And I want to see the expression
on their face after I get up.

ST. LOUIS Posting on his
Twitter account Sunday night,
SJ39, Steven Jackson said aches
and pains from a big day against
the Detroit Lions were starting
to get to me.
You should see the other guys.
Te 235-pound running back
was at his bruising best in the St.
Louis Rams slump-busting vic-
tory at Detroit, dragging tacklers
while piling up 149 yards on 22
carries and breaking free for the
winning score.
He can hit the
hole, he can
create his own
holes and he
can put a team
on his back,
too.
Te Lions
certainly got
their fll and
then some
from the unique hybrid, a run-
ner who can get the tough yards
but with wheels to match. On a
contender, hed probably be one
of the NFLs top stars.
Man, said Detroit defensive
end Dewayne White, hes a big
guy.
Jackson was so determined to
put a halt to the Rams 17-game
losing streak, he accidentally
ran over an ofcial on one of his
rambles. For that, he apologized
on Twitter.
No need to revisit anything
else in that game, or virtually
his entire season for that matter.
Jackson has consistently pro-
duced despite a lack of playmak-
ers around him in the NFLs worst
ofense; the Rams have scored
just 77 points.
When hes determined to get
somewhere, its going to take four
or fve large people to stop him,
Rams kicker Josh
Brown said. When
hes an angry person,
you have to get out of
his way.
For better or worse,
Jackson has been the
face of the franchise
for years.
Last season, he
staged a 27-day train-
ing camp holdout
that refected a me-frst attitude,
and then missed four starts and
most of a ffh due to injuries
all losses. Consistently hes been
the most outspoken Ram, wheth-
er its criticizing music choices
and a general drab setting at
home games, chafng as Marshall
Faulks understudy as a rookie in
2004, or voicing lofy goals.

Team wins third Big 12 road game
By ZAch GEtZ
zgetz@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team con-
tinues its hot road streak as it swept
Colorado 3-0 on the road. The
sweep marks Kansas third confer-
ence road sweep in a row, the first
time Kansas has ever had three
straight Big 12 Conference road
sweeps.
Senior libero Melissa Grieb led
Kansas with 17 digs during the
game while sophomore outside hit-
ter Allison Mayfield set a career-
high with 21 kills to surpass her
previous high of 20, which she just
set last match. Mayfield said it was
because of her teammates that she
was able to get so many kills.
All night we did really well pass-
ing and digging, Mayfield said. It
was a good set up and easy for me
to terminate the ball, but it was as
much the passing and sets than it
was just me.
Kansas had a really good scout
on Colorado and knew what they
were going to do, Grieb said.
Everything was clicking from the
very beginning, and everyone was
playing well with each other too,
Grieb said.
A lot of support and energy
from not only the floor but the
bench as well, Grieb said.
After falling behind in set two
and set three, Kansas started serv-
ing really well and the team stepped
up when it needed to, coach Ray
Bechard said.
We had good defensive runs
when we needed to, Bechard said.
When we needed to score in tran-
sition, we did.
Kansas had a lot of confidence
and never felt panicked after being
down, Grieb said.
We just got more aggressive in
some of the things, and after that
it just kind of fell into place. Grieb
said.
The first set started very even,
but after being tied at 15-15, Kansas
scored five straight. Kansas held its
lead to the very end winning the
set 25-22 despite a late push by
Colorado.
Kansas came out aggressive in
the second set, taking a 5-1 lead
early. Colorado came back quickly
and took a lead at 10-9. Colorado
stretched its lead to four at 14-18,
but then Kansas scored the next
seven to take the lead. Colorado
came right back and tied the set
22-22, but Kansas then scored
three of the last four to win the
set 25-23.
After falling behind 2-6 early,
Kansas fought hard to take a lead
at 13-12. Kansas never let up after
taking its lead and won the set
25-16. Kansas only had one error in
the third set and had a .500 hitting
percentage for the set.
Kansas improved to 13-10 (5-8)
for the season while Colorado
continues to struggle and fell to
6-17 (1-13). The 13 victories equals
the number of victories Kansas has
had in its last two seasons.

NHL
Islanders
defeated
by Sabres
on rink
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BUFFALO, N.Y. After
being shut out by the New York
Islanders four days ago, Ryan
Miller and the Buffalo Sabres
returned the favor.
Miller made 24 saves for his
second shutout of the season
and 14th overall, and Thomas
Vanek had a goal and assist in
Buffalos 3-0 victory Wednesday
night.
Derek Roy and Paul Gaustad
also scored to help the Sabres
(9-2-1) rebound from a 5-0 loss
to the Islanders on Saturday on
Long Island.
We played a real sound game
coming off that loss, Miler said.
We did a very sound job push-
ing the puck up the ice, and we
didnt give up anything that was
too dangerous. We want to be a
team thats in control.
They were certainly that
against an Islanders team had
won four straight by a combined
score of 15-5. But New York
was unable to generate much
offense against the NHLs stingi-
est defense and its shut-down
goalie.
Buffalo has allowed just 24
goals in 12 games this season,
and played perhaps one of its
best overall games against the
Islanders. The Sabres took
39 shots, scored twice on the
power play, and killed off three
Islanders man-advantage oppor-
tunities.
It was a real great effort, said
Vanek, who scored for the first
time in five games. We adjusted
good from the other night, and
overall played well and deserved
to win.
Former Sabres goalie Martin
Biron made 36 saves for the
Islanders (5-5-5), who were
attempting to win five straight
for the first time since a six-
game run in February 2008.

Indiana Pacers win for frst time in season, beating Knicks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK T.J. Ford scored
eight of his 16 points in the final
3:12, and the Indiana Pacers won
for the first time this season, hold-
ing the New York Knicks without a
field goal for the final 9-plus min-
utes Wednesday night in a 101-89
victory.
Dahntay Jones had 19 points
and 12 rebounds for the Pacers
(1-3), who came in as one of the
NBAs three winless teams and had
lost all three games by double dig-
its. Roy Hibbert added 15 points
and 14 rebounds.
Brandon Rush had 12 points and
10 rebounds as the Pacers pulled it
out despite losing Danny Granger,
who led Indiana with 21 points, to
fouls with 3:38 remaining.
Al Harrington scored 22 points
for the Knicks, who shot 2-for-17
in the fourth quarter. David Lee
had 20 points and 19 rebounds,
but New York hit 39.5 percent for
the game.
The Pacers turned to their
defense without leading rebound-
er Troy Murphy, who bruised his
lower back in a hard fall during a
111-93 loss to Denver on Tuesday
night. They are already without
another top player, Mike Dunleavy
Jr., who is recovering from surgery
on his right knee.
They didnt need them against
the Knicks, who fell to 1-2 on a
four-game homestand that con-
cludes Friday with the only visit
this season from LeBron James and
the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Hibbert tied it at 76 early in
the fourth, then Granger made a
3-pointer to give the Pacers the
lead for good. Wilson Chandlers
jumper with 9:20 left made it a
one-point game, but the Knicks
were shut out from the field the
rest of the night.
The fourth-quarter debacle came
after the Knicks had averaged 40.5
points in the fourth quarters of
their previous two games.

With this years speedy athletes,
the KU womens basketball teams
primary offensive gameplan is cen-
tered around running.
Everybodys got to run, coach
Bonnie Henrickson said.
Right off a rebound, many Kansas
possessions will essentially function
as a mad dash to the hoop on the
other side. First one to get there
wins.
A running game, senior guard
Sade Morris said.
But will these transition posses-
sions conclude with easy layups or
contested jump-shots? Whats it
going to be? Well, that depends on
who gets there first. Morris thinks it
will be Kansas.
Its just gonna make it easier for
us to get in a rhythm offensively,
Morris said.
A seam-splitting transition game
can disrupt both sides of the oppo-
sitions play. Defensively, opponents
will have to match the blazing
tempo of Kansas sprinting bigs and
not forget about
the patient shoot-
ers waiting close by.
Players will have to
adjust from a near
sprint to a stout
defensive position
in an instant. But
while defenses are
making this switch,
Kansas will be
cruising right past, driving to the
hoop for a high percentage shot.
Henrickson said defensive transi-
tion is the most difficult thing to
teach, and Kansas will attack this
commonly found weakness.
Its when the defense is most
vulnerable, Henrickson said. Why
not try to take advantage?
On the offensive side of the ball,
opponents will undoubtedly get
some break-away baskets of their
own. However, teams not used to
running a fast-paced offense will
struggle to adjust. Like in football,
regularly huddled offenses thrown
into a no-huddle scramble will
adapt at a sluggish pace. Teams can
only optimize their play with what
they are already used to. So as long
as Kansas keeps up the speed, they
will be ready to defend.
You have to worry about getting
back so they wont beat you down
the court and get an easy bucket,
freshman guard Angel Goodrich
said.
And once the defense makes a
stop, its back to running again. As
they charge from end-to-end soph-
omore forward Aishah Sutherland
and junior center
Krysten Boogaard
will present conflicts
for almost any team.
The towering two-
some will be just an
elevated pass away
from an easy basket.
When our bigs
commit to running
like they did Sunday,
it opens things up on the perimeter,
Henrickson said.
Senior guards Danielle McCray
and Morris will be waiting in the
wings, ready to shoot if defend-
ers focus their attention solely on
Sutherland and Boogaard. There
will be open shots to take. But it all
starts with the point guard.
Angel Goodrich, a freshman
who seems to have grasped the role
as floor general, will need to keep
her eyes open and spread the ball
around to her numerous scorers. If
she can equally distribute the rock,
opposing teams will have to find
ways to stop several attacks, rather
than focusing on one player.
Her teammates say they think
she is more than ready to carry the
load.
She has that quickness and
speed, Morris said. She sees things
before they happen.
Goodrich said she knows she
hold the key to the door of potential
match-up nightmares.
If you can run and gun and get
a layup, thats a lot easier than run-
ning a play, Goodrich said.
The transition game works like a
five player weave. Ideally, Sutherland
or Boogaard gets the rebound first.
Then they dish it to Goodrich, who
dribbles the ball up the floor. Then
Goodrich makes her choice. Should
she flip it inside to Sutherland so
she can take it to the hoop herself,
or kick it back out to a shooter?
Should she work the ball around the
perimeter and let McCray or Morris
create their own shot? Or maybe
Goodrich will bluff with her eyes
and take the ball to the hoop herself.
The options are varied and always
opportunistic.
Weve got a point guard that can
push, weve got wings that can push
and weve got posts that are gonna
run, Morris said.

The Kansas Jayhawks 86-56
victory against Pittsburg State last
Sunday was not as lopsided as it
could have been.
The game was marred with
some bad decisions and missed
opportunities that generally make
up the gameplay of an exhibition
event.
Our point guards made great
decisions at times, and then tried
to make things happen that werent
there, Henrickson said.
These miscues, if not corrected,
may haunt the Jayhawks during
regular season play against much
tougher competition.
On the night the Jayhawks turned
the ball over to the Gorillas 20
times, six turnovers coming from
the point guard position. Often,
those turnovers occurred when the
guard would try to force the ball to
a well-defended player under the
basket. The post players also failed
to help their guards by not making
plays on the ball to keep the pos-
session alive.
As post players, if its a bad pass,
weve got to save the pass or at least
keep it in play and make something
happen, Henrickson said. And we
didnt do that.
These miscommunications
werent limited to the half-court
offense, though, as Kansas often
failed to capitalize with their fast
break offense following Pitt. State
turnovers. On more than one occa-
sion the Jayhawks gave the ball right
back to Pitt. State because of bad
execution down the court.
I think we had
six opportunities
where we just
didnt catch the
ball, Henrickson
said.
While the
Jayhawks strug-
gled to capitalize
on the 24 turn-
overs they caused
and get points
on the board, they gave Pitt. State
26 attempts from the free-throw
line on 17 team fouls. Although the
Gorillas only knocked down 13 of
the free throws for just 50 percent,
the Jayhawks wont be able to count
on every team they play this year
shooting poorly from the line.
This is well illustrated by looking
at last years game against Texas,
a team picked to finish tied for
second with Kansas in the Big 12
this year. Kansas allowed Texas to
take 34 free throw attempts. The
Longhorns made 24 of those and
the Jayhawks lost by just eight
points.
As far as missed opportunities,
you know, weve got to clean up,
Henrickson said.
As the Jayhawks look to cor-
rect the mistakes they encountered
against Pitt. State, freshman point
guard Angel Goodrich looks to
clean up her game as well.
Im going to work
on my defense and get-
ting through screens
and just making better
decisions, Goodrich
said.
With one more
exhibition game to go
before the regular sea-
son kicks off Nov. 15
against Oral Roberts,
Kansas will seek to
improve in various areas of their
game.
Its fun to see how we fit in
against another team right now
and see what we need to work on,
senior guard Danielle McCray said
following the game last Sunday.

NEWARK, N.J. Te New Jer-
sey Devils got their frst break at
home this season when the Wash-
ington Capitals scratched injured
Alex Ovechkin from the lineup.
Te next batch of good fortune
came when Niclas Bergfors busted
out with a pair of third-period pow-
er-play goals.
Bergfors connected for goals 3:13
apart to break open a tie game and
send the Devils to a 3-2 victory over
the Capitals on Wednesday night. It
was only the second time this season
New Jersey has won at home (2-4).
Te Devils are 7-0 on the road.
Its diferent, coach Jacques Le-
maire said. Its good news and that
is news.
Just seconds afer Alexander
Semins hooking penalty gave the
Devils their third advantage, Berg-
fors took a pass from Zach Parise in
the right circle and whistled a rising
shot over Semyon Varlamovs glove
with 8:40 lef to make it 2-1.
Bergfors then defected in Travis
Zajacs long shot with 4:50 remain-
ing to give the Devils a two-goal
edge. Bergfors game picked up
Wednesday afer Lemaire moved
him to a line with veterans Zajac
and Parise.
Bergfors second goal was origi-
nally credited to Parise, but Bergfors
knew it was his.
As soon as I touched it, said
Bergfors, who has fve goals in 22
NHL games. It was just a little tip.
Im glad we got the puck in the net.
Tat was the best feeling.

Dennis Dodd, senior writer for
CBSSports.com, spends most of
his time traveling, watching games
and writing sports stories. Dodd
covers college football in his col-
umn but says its a year-round job
no matter what beat youre cover-
ing. On Tuesday, he took time from
his busy schedule to talk Big 12
Football, the BCS Championship
and Kansas basketball.
Big 12 FootBall
The big story in Big 12 Football
is the fight for the North. Dodd
said that the jumble of teams and
performances in the division make
it the story to follow. Teams like
Texas always do well, but this week
the focus should be on Kansas vs.
Kansas State Dodd said. Kansas
State went 2-6 in Big 12 play last
year.
No one expected Kansas State
to be any good, Dodd said.
With the return of coach
Bill Snyder to Kansas State, the
Wildcats have gone 3-2 in confer-
ence play with a surprising 62-14
victory against Texas A&M, Oct.
17. This was not the Kansas State
team that writers, including Dodd,
saw coming into the beginning
of the season and the Sunflower
Showdown could be an elimina-
tion game for the Big 12 North,
Dodd said.
BCS
In the BCS race, Dodd is follow-
ing the smaller teams such as TCU,
Cincinnati and Boise State, who are
all gunning for a bowl game. All
three teams are undefeated going
into this week with Cincinnati
ranked 5th, TCU ranked 6th and
Boise State ranked 7th in the BCS
poll. Dodd said his biggest fear is
that these teams will go up against
each other, hurting their chances
to play against some big schools in
the postseason.
Iowa, currently ranked 4th in
the BCS polls is also on Dodds
radar. Iowa has crept up the BCS
rankings after making their first
appearance since their preseason
rank of 22nd, in week 5 at 13th.
The Hawkeyes are undefeated and
beat teams such as Michigan and
Indiana already this season. Dodd
said they could be on their way to
the national championship game
if Texas, Florida or Alabama have
any upsets.
Theyre like Lyndon Johnson
becoming the president, Dodd
said. Theyre just a heartbeat
away if one of those teams fall.
KanSaS BaSKetBall
As football heads into the sec-
ond half of its season, Dodd is
already looking at the potential for
the Kansas mens basketball team.
Kansas is currently ranked No. 1 in
the preseason polls and Dodd said
he thinks they deserve it.
Its almost a curse being ranked
No. 1 going into the season, Dodd
said. Luckily the rankings arent
as important in college basketball
because of the tournament.
Two years ago, Dodd said
that Kansas kind of came out of
nowhere in the its rise to national
champions. With returning All-
Americans Sherron Collins and
Cole Aldrich, and coach Bill Self,
whom Dodd highly respects, he
said he expects that the team can
go all the way to the National
Championship again this season.

Phoenix Suns 122-100 on Wednes-
day night.
Playing without injured Vince
Carter and suspended Rashard
Lewis, the Magic built a 23-point
lead in the third quarter to pull
away from the Suns.
Amare Stoudemire fnished
with 25 points and 14 rebounds for
Phoenix (4-1), which was looking
to match the 1984-85 team for the
franchises best start. Te Suns had
come back from defcits in the frst
half but never did come close afer
the Magic built a big lead late.
Jameer Nelson added 16 points,
and Mickael Pietrus had 15 points
for the Magic. And they did it de-
spite Carter missing the game with
a sprained lef ankle that coach Stan
Van Gundy said doesnt appear se-
rious, while Lewis is suspended for

tive for an elevated level of testos-
terone.
Te Magic turned a close game
into a blowout.
Led by a powerful performance
by its front court, Orlando opened
the third quarter with a 16-4 spurt.
Howard and Anderson were slicing
through the paint for dunks, and
their dominant play inside opened
up shots on the perimeter that Or-
lando at times couldnt seem
to miss.
Te Magic shot 52.2 percent
from 3-point range and 52.3 per-
cent from the feld for the game. But
they didnt get much resistance.
Te Suns started slow for the
second straight night.
Orlando used a furry of 3-point-
ers, including a pair by Anderson,
to take a 14-point lead in the frst
quarter that didnt last long. Te
Magic started missing, the Suns
started running as they so ofen
do and ended the period on a
12-2 run that tightened the gap to
29-25.
Tat seemed to be the early pat-
tern.
Te Magics starters returned

WASHINGTON Dwyane
Wade scored 40 points, includ-
ing a go-ahead jumper with 25
seconds left, to lead the Miami
Heat in a 93-89 victory over
the Washington Wizards on
Wednesday night.
It was the first time Wade
reached 40 points since get-
ting a career-high 55 in April
against New York. Quentin
Richardson had 19 points
and nine rebounds for Miami
(4-1).
Wade took the spotlight away
from Washingtons Gilbert
Arenas, who scored 32 but was
9 of 27 from the field.
Arenas missed a layup with
17 seconds left after Wades
jumper, falling hard to the
ground after driving through
traffic, and rushed a short
jumper on the next posses-
sion with the Wizards trail-
ing by three points to end
Washingtons chances.
Arenas gave Washington an
89-87 lead with 1:30 remain-
ing, driving the lane for a layup
with 1 second showing on the
shot clock. Jermaine ONeal hit a
jumper to tie it 19 seconds later.
DeShawn Stevenson missed
two free throws with 44 seconds
left to set up Wades jumper.
Brendan Haywood had 16
points and 11 rebounds and
Caron Butler had 13 points and
10 rebounds for Washington.
The tight final minutes came
after Miami opened up a big
early lead. Haywood opened
the game with the dunk, but
the Wizards didnt hold the lead
again until Haywoods hook shot
at 6:28 left in the third quarter
gave Washington a 57-56 edge.
The rest of the quarter
belonged to the teams duel-
ing stars. Arenas scored nine of
Washingtons final 13 points in
the third quarter. Wade outdid
him, tallying Miamis final 10
points, including a last-second
layup to tie the game at 66 enter-
ing the fourth quarter.
Miami had led by as many as
19 in the opening quarter, going
up 27-8 with three-and-a-half
minutes left in the first.
The Wizards clawed back in
the second period. With Arenas
on the bench, Washington went
on a 17-2 run over a nearly
5-minute span to pull to 37-36.
Wade made sure the Heat would
hold on to the lead with a pair of
3-pointers, and Miami led 50-41
at halftime.
The Wizards finished the game
without starter Mike Miller, who
left in the fourth quarter with a
left shoulder sprain. Miller first
hurt the shoulder in the third
quarter in a collision with the
Heats Mario Chalmers. Miller
was taken to the locker room
and returned to the bench a few
minutes later with his shoulder
taped. He re-entered the game
late in the third quarter.
Miller, who was acquired
by Washington in a trade with
Minnesota in June, aggravated
the injury with 9:11 left in the
fourth quarter when he fell to
the court on a foul by Miamis
Joel Anthony. Miller completed
the 3-point play and stayed in
the game for about another min-
ute before again leaving for the
locker room.

A
recent survey sent to
students regarding alcohol
use is flawed, and should
not be used to influence alcohol
or housing policy decisions
made by Student Senate or the
administration.
Members of the student-run
committee to combat alcohol abuse
at the University of Kansas and
investigate related policy e-mailed
a survey on Oct. 22 to students
enrolled at the Lawrence campus
about their alcohol habits and
thoughts on alcohol education.
The e-mail from the committee
stated the intent of the survey
was to recommend whether
any changes to existing alcohol-
related policies should be made.
However, it should not be used for
this purpose, because the survey
methodology might
cause some of the
information gathered
to be flawed.
One of the issues
the subcommittee
was supposed to examine involves
student housing officials being
able to enter residence hall rooms
without permission in instances of
students violating housing policy,
which includes alcohol use.
The survey is self-selecting, able
to be completed more than once
and also open to student housing
employees if they are enrolled at
the Lawrence campus.
A self-selecting survey is one
is which the individual chooses
whether to take it. Therefore,
students who have a greater interest
in the subject will be more likely
to take the survey, thus creating an
unbalanced response.
It concerns me only if students
abuse it, said Emily C. Williams,
Overland Park graduate student
and chairwoman of the committee,
but I am not of the opinion that
it is going to do more harm than
good.
The survey gathered more
than 1,800 responses, with most
responses from seniors, Williams
said. This highlights a problem
with any statistics the survey
gathered; the survey was not
distributed randomly. All surveys
have some margin of error because
of dishonest participants, but when
the results come only from those
who choose to take the survey, the
data is further skewed.
Another problem with the
survey is its anonymity. Students
taking the survey do not have to
give their name or KUID, allowing
them to take the survey more
than once. Students who work for
student housing, such
as resident assistants,
can also take the
survey.
The committee
made the survey
anonymous so students would feel
more at ease about giving away
private information, Williams
said. Unfortunately, this makes it
impossible to know if students are
abusing the survey to create false
opinions.
The committee plans on
sending out the same survey again
to all students and particular
group listservs, so students may be
reminded of the survey.
The more times that students
get the survey and the more time
they have they ability to click on
the link, the better, Williams said.
However, this could lead to even
more students taking the survey
multiple times. In addition, if it is
targeted toward particular groups
the statistics could be skewed to
reflect their activities.
The survey, however, does
allow for some good input. The
final portion of the survey uses
open-ended questions to solicit
student opinions on alcohol policy
and education at the University.
However, depending on who is
answering these questions, they
could still be from a biased source.
For example, a student housing
employee could be commenting
on student housing policy multiple
times.
The statistical questions from
the beginning of the survey will be
passed on to the administration
and could be used in reports on the
campuss alcohol activity, Williams
said.
This survey has too many
potentially confounding
problems to be an accurate
source of information. These
problems should be rectified or
this unreliable data should be
disregarded.
Students should attend the
committees next meeting at 7 p.m.
tonight in the Jayhawk Room of
the Kansas Union to voice their
opinion on the survey and other
alcohol-related policy.

heres an old saying that
the definition of insanity
is doing the same thing
over and over and expecting dif-
ferent results. We all have our
moments of insanity. We try to
make a pass at someone who
we know isnt interested. We try
to cook a recipe we dont have
the right ingredients for. For my
own part, Im a Chiefs fan. Its a
tough life.
When somebody keeps try-
ing something over, its usually
harmless. Sometimes, though,
there are people who dont give
up on an idea that wont work,
and will cost them dearly. Or, to
be specific, will cost the country
dearly. Something like $50 mil-
lion dearly.
In all the excitement sur-
rounding the public option
health insurance debate, some-
body has tried to bring his own
insanity into the chambers of
Congress. No, it wasnt Glenn
Beck (this time), but rather Sen.
Orrin Hatch (R-Utah). Hatch,
most famous for his personal
crusade against the BCS, was
able to sneak in an amendment
to recent health care legislation
that would refund federal pro-
grams supporting abstinence-
only sex education.
The amendment, which
passed the Senate Finance
Committee a few weeks ago by a
single vote, restores $50 million
to abstinence-only education. It
was removed from the budget
by President Barack Obama ear-
lier this year, a move that upset
some people. They were upset
at the end of a program that
they apparently expected to start
working if wed just keep it going
a little while longer.
Just for everyones informa-
tion, abstinence-only programs
established in the mid-90s did
nothing to curb teen pregnancy
or the spread of STIs among
high school students. A federal
report on such programs done
by the Department of Health
and Human Services mentioned
that abstinence-only programs
did not affect the age at which
sexually experienced youth first
engaged in sexual intercourse.
There were also sections of the
study mentioning that students
who had this kind of sex educa-
tion were just as likely to engage
in unprotected sex as those who
received more comprehensive
education.
Now, Hatch and a few other
senators want abstinence-only
education to continue. They feel
that a vaguely moral outlook,
which paints premarital sex as
rare and frightening, needs to be
pressed upon people who have
been empirically shown not to
agree. I find it incredibly ironic
that the same people who sup-
port measures such as this com-
plain about the public option
on the grounds that it would
be expensive. Hatch wants to
cut down on spending, yet at
the same time spend millions
on something that makes not a
bit of sense. When Im the one
criticizing potentially wasteful
government spending, some-
thing is seriously wrong.
The country is fighting
back an economic recession.
Meanwhile, teenagers run an
increased risk of unplanned
pregnancies and STIs because
they werent given the chance to
learn how to engage in sexual
activity in a safe way. I dont
necessarily want to encourage
more sexual activity among peo-
ple who may not yet be mature
enough to understand it, but
closing our eyes and shouting,
La la, this isnt actually happen-
ing, isnt the solution. Spending
$50 million on just that well,
its just insane.

Overweight, out of college
POLiTiCs
A
ll of us have heard about
the dreaded freshman 15.
But what if gaining an
extra 15 pounds, or more, influ-
enced the decision to attend college
in the first place? What if it drasti-
cally effected how you felt about
life overall?
Obesity does play a role in
high school students choices to
attend college, according to a study
conducted by University of Texas
Sociologist Robert Crosnoe. The
research included an analysis of
11,000 students from 128 schools
and focused on health-related
behavior.
The study, featured in Time
magazine, reports that obese girls
are half as likely as thinner girls to
continue onto college. The likeli-
hood of college attendance for an
obese girl decreases further if there
are few overweight students in the
classroom. Obese girls had equal
odds of attending college as thin
classmates at schools where over-
weight students made up at least
20 percent of the student body.
Findings on boys show no correla-
tion between obesity and college
attendance.
One of the most important find-
ings was the link between being
young and obese and the disad-
vantages it causes. For overweight
girls, self-rejection was 63 percent
more likely and the rate of failure
is 24 percent higher than girls of a
normal weight. These negative psy-
chological effects extend beyond
the classroom and can affect the
way individuals live their daily
lives.
Similar issues with obesity apply
to boys. A study done by the maga-
zine Psychology Today of 1,000
students found that overweight
boys are more likely to suffering
from depression than average-
weight boys.
Another study done by the
Journal of the American Medical
Association reported that obese
people are five-and-a-half times
more likely to have an impaired
quality of life as compared to those
of a healthy weight. They also miss
almost four times as much school
as thinner students, which could
contribute to the academic difficul-
ties that are said to plague obese
people as a group.
If youre reading this column,
youre likely already in college or
have completed a degree. Maybe
youve gained a few pounds since
college or perhaps youve struggled
with weight your entire life. But if
youve never stuck with all those
resolutions to hit the gym, maybe
your mental health and better
grades will be a big enough moti-
vator.
The longer a person is obese,
the more he or she suffers from
harmful emotional effects, Sarah
Mastillo, a researcher in psychiatry
and behavioral sciences at Duke
Medical Center, told Psychology
Today. Thats even more of a reason
to switch to a healthy lifestyle if you
dont have one already.
So next time youre thinking of
grabbing a snack from a drive-thru,
first consider the consequences.
As yummy as those foods are, they
dont pay off in the long run, and
theres definitely no food worth
sacrificing your happiness for.

WHATs uP WiTH THAT?
When it comes to urinal
etiquette, there are a few simple
rules you should follow. First
and foremost, when you walk
into the bathroom, there should
always be one urinal between
you and the next man to avoid
looking and the nervousness
that goes along with thinking
youre being looked at.
Next, to go along with the
first rule, simply do not look to
your right or your left. There are
only two ways you should simply
look: straight ahead or straight
down. And finally, there is one
rule that ends them all: shake
twice then flush. This is all you
need.
Cmon guys! There are three
urinals in the average KU mens
bathroom. Why is it that one
guy decides to use the middle
one when he could use the left
or right? When you choose the
middle, you put the incoming
busting bladders in an awkward
position because they have to
choose which side they will have
to intrude your personal bubble.
Instead, you should choose
one of the outside porcelain pee
palaces so that the next guy can
choose the other end and youll
be two happy peas in a pod. The
third guy that comes in will,
well, just be getting the wrong
end of the deal.

Gators coach extends
Spikes suspension
AssociAted Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Florida
linebacker Brandon Spikes has
had his suspension for appar-
ently trying to gouge the eyes of a
Georgia running back increased
to a full game.
Coach Urban Meyer says it
was in the best interest of the
team for Spikes to serve a full-
game suspension when the top-
ranked Gators play Vanderbilt on
Saturday.
Meyer had faced some criti-
cism for only suspending his All-
American linebacker for only the
first half of the Vandy game. The
Southeastern Conference accept-
ed the original punishment.
Spikes stuck his hand into the
facemask of Georgias Washaun
Ealey during Florida 41-17 victo-
ry against the Bulldogs last week.
There was no penalty called at the
time, but Meyer went back and
looked at the play on tape and
decided to punish Spikes.

Florida coach Urban Meyer has extended Brandon Spikes suspension to the entire dura-

Coach says Broncos need physicality
AssociAted Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. The
Denver Broncos are still smarting
from their beatdown at Baltimore
and theyre pledging not to let
themselves get pummeled by
Pittsburgh.
The main message when coach
Josh McDaniels installed his
game plan Wednesday was that
the Broncos need to get back to
the basics of winning the physical
matchups. Its what they did
during their 6-0 start, a stretch
that came to a crashing halt in a
30-7 blowout loss at Baltimore
last week.
Yeah, they beat us up pret-
ty good, no question about it,
Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton
said. We feel like weve got a
physical football team and cer-
tainly Pittsburgh prides them-
selves on that, too. So, itll be a
hard-hitting game and whoever
can win that battle is going to have
a good chance to win.
The Broncos were the NFLs big-
gest surprise when they took an
unblemished record into November.
Under the brash, 33-year-old
McDaniels, they proved well-
coached, disciplined and physical.
And they quieted any remaining
doubters by beating Dallas, New
England and San Diego is succes-
sive weeks in October.
Then came the blowout at
Baltimore, and now the league will
learn if they have a bounce-back
in them thats anywhere near as
impressive as their stunning start.
They figure the ricochet begins
with being the ones to deliver most
of the punishment.
Physicality can be a nebulous
notion in the NFL. What
constitutes being more physical
than ones opponent? Is it mostly
about size, strength, speed,
matchups, gumption?
Its about everything, Orton
said. Its about practice. You cant
just practice soft for three or four
days and expect to go out and play
a physical game.
Linebacker Andra Davis said
being physical is almost all mental.
You know that next day you
will be hurting. So just accept
the fact, go in there and bang,
throw your body around and try
to knock your guy back, Davis
said. It will be an all-day effort.
You have to go in there and bang,
bang, bang.
