Imagine sitting at a piano. A
blank piece of white paper stares
at you from the music stand and
the white and black keys rest
untouched below your fingers.
You write a note on the page
and begin to hear music. Not com-
ing from the piano, but from your
head. At once you hear an entire
orchestra playing what you write.
This is what happens in
Professor James Barnes head.
This is why the internationally
renowned Berlin Philharmonic
commissioned Barnes to compose
a flute concerto for its 2012-2013
concert series.
Ive got this little orchestra in
my head and I just write what
theyre doing, Barnes said of his
method for composing pieces. Its
an acquired effect.
Andreas Blau, long time flut-
ist for the Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra, had heard one of
Barnes symphonies and contacted
Barnes last fall about composing
this work. After initial shock and
disbelief, Barnes met with him in
Munich to discuss the offer.
He said being commissioned for
the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
is the most prestigious offer he has
ever received, but he doesnt want
to approach this piece any differ-
ently than other compositions.
Barnes began composing early
in life. He started writing his own
music by ninth grade. You might
think a teenager with this natu-
ral skill would have gone to an
art school in New York, but not
Barnes. You can tell by his accent.
He grew up on a cattle farm in
western Oklahoma and his father
knew nothing about music.
He is like an interesting combi-
nation of somebody who is one of
the most literate and knowledge-
able musicians Ive ever known,
yet someone who also is very
much from Oklahoma, said Brian
Haaheim, associate professor of
music theory and music composi-
tion.
Haaheim has worked with
Barnes for almost ten years. He
said Barnes is known as one of
the worlds most renowned wind
ensemble composers. He also said
that nothing about him would lead
you to believe that.
He doesnt tend to blow his
own horn, Haaheim said. He
just does the work and continu-
ally puts out exceptionally good
music.
Barnes has been living in
Lawrence ever since coming to
the University for his under-
graduate degree. His experiences
in Oklahoma and the skills he
learned at the University shaped
Barnes into the creative person he
is today.
The death of his father when
he was 21 and the earlier death
of his mother when he was eight
affected Barnes deeply. Without
his father, he was left to support
himself throughout college. He
said if nothing dramatic happens
to a person in life, then they really
dont have much to say.
Its the wear and tear of life that
makes an artist, Barnes said.
The deaths of his parents forced
him to look inward. This self
exploration enhances his creativ-
ity and translates directly into his
music. When he is composing,
Barnes says he is writing music
that conveys emotion and that is
saying something. Its not simply
notes on a page.
It is a process
everybody faces,
says Barnes, to
look at noth-
ing and create
something.
Barnes has no
set process for
composing his
pieces. He never
writes two the
same way. Some
he writes from ending movement
to beginning, some from begin-
ning to end. He believes if there
is too much of a set process, the
creation turns out bad. He tries to
share that with students now at the
University.
Barnes received his masters
degree in 1975 and has been teach-
ing at the University for 37 years
now. He teaches music composi-
tion, orchestration, arranging, and
wind band history and repertoire
courses in the School of Music.
He also serves
as the director
for the divi-
sion of music
theory and
composition.
Jim Barnes
is, in many
ways, the heart
and soul of the
KU School of
Music, said
Forrest Pierce,
assistant professor of music com-
position.
Pierce has worked with Barnes
for five years and is amazed by
Barnes mastery of large ensem-
bles. Pierce also said Barnes is
exceedingly humble despite all
of his accomplishments.
Barnes has performed and con-
ducted at music halls all over the
world, including Carnegie Hall
and Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow,
as well as guest conducting in
Japan more than 35 times.
As far as the concerto for the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra,
Barnes says hell be done when
it is finished. Although he likes
working under deadlines, he
doesnt want to put a specific date
on when the work will be com-
pleted.
He was confident, talking
through a thick cigar pinched
between his teeth, that he will
begin the three movement con-
certo in January, and will even-
tually have it done on time for
Berlin, which is quite a distance
away from his roots in west-
ern Oklahoma and his home in
Lawrence.

Te water may taste a little less
funky, but problems with Law-
rences drinking water supply have
only just begun.
Te Kansas River is pumping
smelly water to town from an up-
stream reservoir, Tuttle Creek Lake
near Manhattan according to the
Kansas Health and Environment
Department.
Usually, Clinton Lake is the
source of weirdness in the citys
water because of a blue-green al-
gae bloom in the lake that creates
the smelly compounds MIB and
geosmin. But this time, the guilty
bloom is in Tuttle Creek Lake.
Te bloom will die soon and
Lawrence residents will have tem-
porary relief from the awkward
taste and odor. But the funky water
is just the beginning of ways that
Lawrence and cities all over the
Midwest is facing the limitations
of reservoir water.
Tey try to build reservoirs for
a specifc life span, assuming in 100
years well have found a diferent
solution, Don Huggins, an aquatic
ecologist at the Kansas Biological
Reserve, said. Te problem is some
of our reservoirs are flling faster
than whats projected.
Every reservoir including
Clinton Lake is slowly flling with
sediment from in-fowing rivers,
and will eventually be unusable.
We ought to be focusing, right
now, on what we can do to prolong
the life of the reservoir, Huggins
said. Tat means better watershed
management and better lake man-
agement.
Taking steps to fx aging reser-
voirs through methods like dredg-
ing them are ofen too expensive
for cities to perform without more
money.
Te shallower our reservoirs
get, the less water well have avail-
able for our use, and probably the
water quality will get worse not
only in terms of supporting recre-
ational fshing and aquatic life, but
also of drinking water.
Te shallower the lake is, the
more opportunity for wind to stir
the water, throwing the settled nu-
trients up from the bottom. Tat al-
lows more blue-green algae to grow,
so expect funky water more ofen as
reservoirs fll up with sediment over
time. Even if the algae isnt terribly
dangerous, the increase in the blue-
green algaes presence is an indica-
tion that the reservoirs are getting
older, Huggins said.
And that means time is running
out.
Tats where we get involved.
You have to start thinking about
how you use water and how you
waste water, Huggins said. I know
thats the last thing people want to
consider. Why cant I have all that I
want? Its a natural resource but

A woman who has no home,
no job and no money walks into
the health clinic. Four dollars fill
her wallet; she needs at least 20
dollars to pay for her much need-
ed medication. She questions
whether she should choose food
or pay for the medication. But
the New Hope Medical Ministry
can help.
This is just one of the sce-
narios the New Hope Medical
Ministry will face after it opens on
Wednesday, said Paul Gray, pas-
tor of New Life in Christ Church.
The church launched the minis-
try, located at 619 Vermont St.,
to provide minimal-cost health
care to Lawrence residents and
students with limited incomes.
Its a way for us to give back to
people, Gray said. Gods done so
much for us and this is a way we
can do it.
Erin Stewart, a graduate stu-
dent from Houston and a mem-
ber of the church, said the church
did exactly what a church should
do: care for others without bias.
The job of the church is to
help the needy and aid the com-
munity, Stewart said.
The clinic does not charge for
examinations. It does ask for a $25
donation to help cover expenses.
Gray said the clinic did not want
to place a financial burden in
the church so all funding for the
clinic came from donations out-
side the church. The clinic asks
patients to pay for any additional
treatments like vaccinations or
medical tests to help reduce cost
for the clinic. But, the clinic does
not force payment if the patient
cannot afford the medical treat-
ment or medication. This new
clinic now provides Lawrence
with its third low-cost health
clinic. Unlike the other two clin-
ics, Health Care Access, 330
Maine St., and Heartland Medical
Clinic, 1 Riverfront Plaza, the
New Hope Medical Ministry
does not require patients to show
financial papers, Sale said.
We dont hold peoples feet to
the fire, Gray said. If you say
you cant pay, then you cant pay.
Dennis Sale, the primary phy-
sician for the clinic, said the clin-
ic would welcome students to
receive the health care. Sale said
the clinic could provide a low
priced alternative form of medi-
cal care for students compared
to the services of Watkins Health
Center.
If they are very poor students
we probably wont charge them,

STUDENT SENATE
Senators approve
funding increase
The student senate Finance
committee approved $24,557
in funding Wednesday night,
including $13,000 in additional
funding for student executive
committee salaries and $4,270
for 4n6, a forensics club founded
this year.
Last week members of studex
were paid for 57 percent of their
total hours worked, according to
a report by erin pishny, treasurer
and co-author of the bill that
requested the funding. The
approved funding would have
covered 78 percent of their total
hours worked last week, accord-
ing to the same report. pishny
said the report was refective of
an average work week.
I think its important that
we pay based on work,said
assistant treasurer david cohen,
the bills second author. Were
getting closer to that.
The approved bill will increase
paid hours and not pay rate.
studexs nine members will be
paid for a combined 221 hours
per week. before the bill passed,
their combined hours were 160
per week. Their hourly rate will
stay at $7.50.
The approved funding for the
forensics club will help cover
travel costs for the fall semester.
The Finance committee voted
down a corresponding bill re-
questing a travel exemption for
the new club.

On Wednesday, Apples Steve Jobs
stood before of a crowd of reporters
to unveil the latest gadgets and their
features.
He mentioned a new and
improved operating system, iOS 4.1,
which will be available for free next
week. The iOS 4.2, which has the
same thing as the iOS 4.2, will be
available for the iPad in November.
Jobs declared changes to the iPod
were the biggest changes ever.
Here are the iPod highlights:
iPod Touch Its thinner. It
has a retina display, which means
a clearer screen. It will have a front
facing camera and can do Face
Time. The cost is $299 for a 32GB
and $399 for a 64GB.
iPod Nano Its smaller and
lighter. The Nano will have a touch
screen that shows radio, clock,
photos and playlists among other
things. It has a 24 hour battery life.
The cost is $149 for 8G and $179 for
16G version.
iPod Shuffle Apple brought
buttons back. It also has a voice-over
feature and will play 15 hours of
tunes. The cost is $49.
ITUNES
Jobs offered iTunes version 10,
which has a new logo, and the site
is entering into the social network-
ing realm. Ping is a social network
for music and is available on your
computer and iPhone.
APPLE TV
Apple TV was introduced with
not much fanfare in 2006 but people
love them, Jobs told the crowd.
The company created a new
Apple TV, he said. He held up some-
thing that looked about the size
of a hockey puck. On the back, it
has HDMI, USB, optical audio and
Ethernet.
Jobs said viewers just rent movies
and TV shows. They dont store any
content on it.
He referred to iTunes as the larg-
est online library. Customers can
rent a movie for $4.99 the day it
comes out on DVD or buy a TV
show for $.99. (No commercials)
So far, ABC and Fox are on board
but Apple believes others networks
will join.
The cost is $99 a drop in price
from the original $299.

DETROIT You can finally
accuse Eminem of understate-
ment.
Weve done things together,
the Detroit rapper told interview-
ers when announcing his upcom-
ing shows with Jay-Z. But Im
not sure weve ever done anything
this big.
With the superstar duo set to
stage a massive home-and-home
series a pair of Comerica Park
shows this week (Thursday and
Friday) followed by two at Yankee
Stadium (Sept. 13-14) the
superlatives are coming thick and
fast from those close to the event.
The biggest North American
concerts this year, says one
Comerica Park executive. The
heaviest ticket demand one Live
Nation honcho has ever experi-
enced. A once-in-a-lifetime pro-
duction for an industry veteran
who has staged Super Bowl half-
time shows.
Theres historical significance
too. The sold-out dates arent just
testament to the enduring power
of Em and Jay-Z, two of the worlds
biggest music acts they also
mark a milestone for hip-hop
itself.
Theyre putting hip-hop on
the same playing field as anything
else, says L.A. hip-hop journalist
Scott Sterling, citing rocks storied
history of concert spectacle. If
Im a 15-year-old whos getting
into this music, it makes anything
possible.
Turning Detroit into the center
of the music world for two days
has been months in the making.
Marshall and Jay had the idea,
says Live Nations Rick Franks,
and from there they ran with it.
Plans were shepherded via Jay-
Zs relationship with Live Nation
the pioneering 360 deal that
gives the company a stake in his
tours, recordings and publishing.
First on the list: nailing down
a window that fit the baseball
schedule, while accommodating
the shows unique needs as a one-
off event rather than a full-length
tour.
The production is very, very
complicated, a lot of moving parts,
because its only the four shows,
says production director Dan
Parise.
Its expected that Eminem will
follow Jay-Z for the Detroit shows,
and vice versa in New York.

For those of us who grew
up in America we have been
taught from an early age that
we need dairy products in order
to be healthy. The Got Milk?
campaign is famous for hav-
ing celebrities model a milk
mustache, with a catchy slogan
asserting that milk is essential to
be healthy.
In the past several years,
however, milk has become the
target of several controversies,
causing many health-conscious
consumers to turn toward
organic dairy or dairy alterna-
tives like almond milk, soy milk,
rice milk, or hemp milk, (all of
which are excellent substitutions
and can be found at any grocery
store nowadays).
One of the most troubling
controversies (that is heavily dis-
puted) is whether or not it is safe
to use rbST (recombinant bovine
somatotropin), which according
to an article published in Hoover
Digest, a magazine published
at Stanford University, is a pro-
tein that increases the amount
of milk each cow produces by
nearly a gallon a day. The author,
Henry I. Miller, asserts that over
120 studies have been conducted
stating that the hormone is
indeed safe.
Claiming that rbST (which is
in all milk unless it specifically
states otherwise) is safe based
on these facts alone, however,
is misguided. According to an
article published last year in the
Ice Cream Reporter, a industry
publication, rbST is banned
in Canada, Europe, Australia,
and New Zealand, and is also
opposed by groups including
Breast Cancer Action, American
Nurses Association, Ben &
Jerrys and Walmart, to name a
few.
Is it logical to think that
America is right while four
countries and numerous organi-
zations are wrong? Is it worth it
to risk your health just to have a
cheaper glass of milk?
If you have your doubts
regarding the safety of rbST
why not avoid the controversy
all together and opt for dairy
substitutions, which are actually
much healthier. The nutrients
found in cows milk can be easily
replaced with non-dairy sub-
stitutes. (Not surprising as 75%
of the world is lactose intoler-
ant, and if it were indeed true
that we needed cows milk to be
healthy that would mean that
75% of the world would simply
be out of luck).
Silks almond milk is my
favorite substitute, because it
tastes delicious while providing
essential nutrients such as cal-
cium, vitamin E, and vitamin D.
Silks original flavored almond
milk has only 60 calories per
glass and has no cholesterol,
saturated fat, or pus (yes, pus
is in the typical glass of cows
milk), and has 7 grams of sugar,
opposed to 1% cows milks 13
grams.
Another big bonus for stu-
dents is that almond milk has a
much longer shelf life, lasting for
a month or longer, opposed to
about a week for cows milk.
Other good dairy substitutes
include Almond Dream Ice
cream, Daiya Cheese (which
tastes great melted), tofutti sour
supreme, and Smart Balance Lite
butter substitute.
Rather than jumping on
Americas Got Milk? band-
wagon, with celebrities modeling
their creamy white milk mus-
taches, try buying a non-dairy
alternative. If you just cant do
without traditional cows milk,
buy organic milk that states it is
rbST-free.

Lindsborg in journalism and

In response to my columns
about chivalry last semester, one of
my friends sent me a video of Dave
Chappelles intriguing answer to
the question of controversy: What
happened to chivalry?
Chappelle explains:
Chivalry is dead and women
killed it. Women got too much ad-
vice about men from other women.
Te magazines trick the women.
Tey pick at your self-esteem. Ev-
ery page makes you turn you start
feeling uglier and fatter and they
make you forget how beautiful you
are and we all sufer.
As much as I hate to admit it,
Chappelle is right. As someone
who has wrote columns blaming
technology and disrespectful men
for the rare existence of chivalry in
todays society, I took Chappelles
standup into serious thought.
Unfortunately we live in a
society in which, according to
Te National Eating Disorders
Association, 80 percent of women
are dissatisfed with their appear-
ance. Te truth is that we cant
expect men to respect us unless we
respect ourselves frst.
For a majority of my life, I was
a part of that 80 percent. I grew up
with a wider fgure, light skin, an
abundance of freckles and bright
red hair. As far as I could see, my
appearance was pretty much the
opposite of what the media dubbed
as males ideal woman: skinny
tan blondes.
Ill never forget the overwhelm-
ing relief I felt when I heard a boy
tell me I was beautiful for the frst
time. I was 14, and fully convinced
I needed to hear that reassurance
for my confdence to boost. We
started dating immediately afer
he began to show interest. Looking
back, our relationship was dys-
functional from day one. I used to
think it was dysfunctional because
he was controlling, negative and
degrading towards me. But now I
blame my insecurity as the central
source to our problems.
It seems to be a reoccurring
theme in dysfunctional relation-
ships. My happiness was complete-
ly dependent upon his afection.
I needed to hear I was beautiful
from him to think I was. And what
was sad was that I actually thought
that meant we were in love.
Until I analyzed my own dating
patterns over the past 6 years, I
never realized that self-confdence
is crucial for respectful relation-
ships. I used to hopelessly search
for a boyfriend in hopes of fulfll-
ing my happiness. I used to blame
my inability to fnd true love on
about the lack of gentlemen in
college. While in reality, I know my
lack of confdence heavily inter-
fered with my dating struggles.
It took a lot of time being single
for me to fnd out what I wanted
out of a relationship. Te more
time that passed that I actually en-
joyed my life as a single, the more
my expectations grew for my own
Mr. Right, and I refused to settle
for anything less.
I wrote a few columns about
my high expectations, urging girls
across campus to do the same. A
couple times I was told that my
expectations were too high and
I would never fnd the man of
modern day chivalry I wrote
about because apparently they
dont exist.
I didnt care though. Id rather be
alone with high expectations than
stuck settling in an unsatisfying
relationship.
My waiting turned out to be
worth it. Recently, I met someone
who meets my high expectations.
He actions have proved to me that
modern day chivalry does exist.
He consistently treats me with
the level of respect I have come to
know that I deserve. He boosts my
confdence, but defnitely isnt the
central source of it.
Now, more than ever, I realize
that true happiness within relation-
ships starts with self-confdence. If
women want men to work for their
afection like they did in the old
days, we have to work at respecting
ourselves frst.

Shawnee in journalism.
Dude, I love you guys. No
homo.
As I was walking across campus
(University of Nebraska-Omaha)
the other day, I couldnt help but
overhear a conversation between
a few guys. They were talking,
laughing and discussing how
excited they were to have an
upcoming class together. Then I
heard the aforementioned phrase.
Seriously?
Maybe Im not as informed
as everyone else, but that was
the first time Id ever heard
someone declare no homo after
a statement. So I did the natural
thing and Googled it.
Apparently it stems from the
early 90s rap scene, where it
entered the hip-hop lexicon thanks
to rappers like Camron. It became
more mainstream in songs with the
help of Lil Wayne.
Nowadays, its commonly
uttered by people (usually men) all
over the place, including some men
on this very campus. As soon as
I took note of the phrase, I began
hearing it in more and more places.
My own brother admitted its a
common statement in his high
school. When I asked him why
that was, he responded, Its just
something everyone says.
I have only one question then.
Why?
Why is it necessary for a guy
to say, No homo! after he says
something that may have given a
homosexual impression? Assuming
the person youre talking with
knows you well and is your friend,
why would they need clarification
that something you just said
was not meant in a homosexual
context?
I just dont get it. A YouTuber I
ran across in my online research
by the name of Tessa Violet makes
a very good point. Its not like
when Im rubbing my dogs belly
I say, Boo, youre just the cutest
little thing. No bestiality. Isnt that
something that is just implied?
Maybe theres some macho,
testosterone-fueled aspect at
play here. Perhaps some guys are
afraid that declaring something
that could be misconstrued as
homosexual somehow diminishes
their manliness. Cue the No
homo.
And I would just like to digress
for a moment and point out here
that a gay male is still a man. Its
not like he magically transforms
into a woman or anything. I
know homosexual men that are
superior athletes, eat mountains
of food, watch SportsCenter and
do whatever else falls under the
definition of being a manly man.
Whether its insecurity or just
a derogatory pop-culture phrase
thats being mindlessly tacked onto
a sentence, I just dont like No
homo. It baffles me.
Telling someone youre familiar
with that you love him or her
shouldnt need clarification. Based
on your already acknowledged
relationship, it should be
obvious what kind of love youre
exclaiming. Plus, you dont see gay
couples walking around telling
their significant other I love
you. No hetero. That just sounds
stupid, because their relationship is
obviously not of that nature and it
needs no clarification.
In addition, No homo
is terribly offensive. It has a
homophobic ring to it, almost like
it is derived from a fear of being
associated with homosexuals.
So, next time you find yourself
about to utter No homo! just
think about why youre saying
it. What exactly are you afraid
will happen if you dont? Will
your reputation be corrupted
forever if you dont add those two
little words? Will you defend
your manliness and let your
homophobia and insecurities get in
the way? If you decide to say No
homo, just remember this article.
If it doesnt make any sense in the
context of your conversation, then
dont waste your breath.
Simple as that.

Mr. Katz, did you by chance look up the number of gun
deaths that result from suicide? Youll be surprised to find out
that the majority of US gun deaths are suicides. Does having a
gun make someone more likely to make that decision?
How about the annual number of gun deaths that are acts of
self defense?
How about the number of murders in Britain rather than the
number of murders by gun? I understand that this is an opin-
ion piece, but you clearly have no interest in being objective and
are more interested in supporting your opinion with statistics
than letting the statistics shape it.
connerm in response to Restrictions could cut gun
violence on August 27.
The Freshmen enrolling class for the Fall of 2008 was the
highest ever in KUs history. Part of the reason for this was
KU Athletics Orange Bowl in football and NCAA National
Championship in basketball. So, before you start criticizing
Athletics, realize the high publicity of the department can be
a plus as well.

KUs reputation on August 30.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
it has a fnite availability.
Limiting the sediment that
goes into rivers would help delay
Clinton Lakes expiration date, but
so would conserving the use of its
water.
If students at KU were more
aware of that, and were aware of
remedies of that, like conserving,
they would be very likely to speak
up and give some efort to solve
those problems, said Marshall
Wetta, a junior from Silver Lake.
While it wont solve the prob-
lem of either rejuvenating local
reservoirs or fnding another
source of water, students can help
prolong the use of water from
Clinton Lake and other reservoirs
by conserving the amount of wa-
ter they use.
Tats something, as citizens,
weve got to come to understand.
Managing our water resources is
going to take more of an efort,
Huggins said. I suspect that,
throughout the Great Plains, were
all facing the same issues. Its just
that we havent pulled our heads

The clinic will not only pro-
vide low cost medical services
for students but also hands-on
experience for student volun-
teers. The volunteers will learn
how to draw blood, administer
small medical tests such as a
strep test and perform cleri-

interested in volunteering can
contact the church by phone at
785-832-1845.
The clinic will be open to
patients every Wednesday.
Sale said the clinic would have
18 to 20 appointments with
patients, plus two to four walk-
in patients, each day. The clinic
will also provide counseling
services concerning depres-
sion, family and relationship
issues. All services are free and
open to anyone.
We figure thats between

Engineers take
studies to China
BY ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughton@kansan.com
Hot, humid and short on
blondes are just a few ways Markie
McConkey described her recent
trip to China.
McConkey, a senior from
Lincoln, Neb., went to China as
part of a senior project established
through the Self Engineering
Leadership Fellows program.
The SELF program was begun
three years ago by former engi-
neering alum Madison Al and
Lila Self. Program coordinator
Lucy McGilley said the Purpose
of the SELF program is to find
students with a passion or fire in
their belly and help them develop
skills in engineering as well as
skills outside of the discipline.
Fourteen senior level engi-
neers in the school of engineering
went on the trip that spanned the
week of Aug. 8 through Aug. 17.
McConkey said when the students
were considering where to go that
would enable them to learn the
most and give back the most to the
University, they decided on the
Worlds Fair in Shanghai.
We thought why not shoot
for the stars?
Mc C o n k e y
said.
With this
being the first
class of seniors
to gradu-
ate, McGilley
told the stu-
dents that she
felt the need
for a capstone
experience to
encompass all pillars of the SELF
program, as well as all disciples of
engineering.
McGilley said that in going on
this trip, the students and she
wanted to make sure that they
were able to bring back as much
as they could to the University and
to the donors that believed in and
supported their project.
The $31,000 price tag was paid
for through donor support and
fundraising. One of the sponsors
for the trip, Robert Peebler, is an
engineering alum who is currently
the CEO of Ion Geophysical in
Beijing. Students attended a ban-
quet hosted by Peeblers company
while there.
I really enjoyed not only
meeting with these international
companies and seeing places like
Google Beijing, but I also enjoyed
the business dinners and the eti-
quette, McConkey said. It was
interesting and gave me a new
found appreciation of other cul-
tures.
While visiting these sights
and companies like Black and
Veatch and Google Beijing, stu-
dents kept personal journals and
blogged about their experiences at
Projectshanghai.net.
McGilley said the trip and the
experience only encompassed a
small part of what the overall proj-
ect entails.
Meyer said they are working
on several different multimedia
exhibits and primarily presenta-
tions. They are working on a fea-
ture for the University engineer-
ing expo and McGilley said they
will be making presentations to
donors and the Deans advisory
board, as well as have an exhibit
at the high school design compe-
tition.
Joey Meyer, a senior from St.
Louis, is in charge of the docu-
mentaries from the trip.
Meyer said the first presenta-
tion is Oct. 23 and other docu-
mentaries and multimedia aspects
of the project will be visible at
ProjectShanghai.net and on
Youtube.
We want to give back to stu-
dents and any-
one that could
have a possible
interest in engi-
neering and
what we are
doing to help
inspire them
to see that we
have these real-
ly neat career
fields and that
you can really be a part of this
great change that is going to be a
part of the world, McGilley said.
Meyer said in the presentations
they are primarily focused on how
they can translate what theyve
learned as far as international
business goes and really what the
expo brought which is engineer-
ing topics and innovations.
As future engineers, it was
great to see what new innovations
are going on around the world,
McConkey said.
Within the projects, Meyer said
he wanted to be able to convey a
sense of global opportunity, espe-
cially in engineering.
The engineers role goes far
beyond just the United States and
were hoping to bring back that
evidence of global opportunity
back to the University and say this
is what weve learned and this is
where were going, Meyer said.

MIDDLE EAST
Fears squelch hope of nuclear talks
ASSOCIATED PRESS
VIENNA Tensions between
Israel and Islamic nations have
scuttled plans by the U.N. atom-
ic watchdog agency to convene
talks this year on a Mideast free
of nuclear weapons, according
to a document shared with The
Associated Press.
The latest failure to bring the
opposing sides to the table casts
further doubt on plans to hold
more substantive talks in two
years on such a zone, as proposed
by the U.N.s 189-nation Nuclear
Nonproliferation Treaty confer-
ence four months ago.
That proposal was billed by
the NPT conference as a poten-
tial breakthrough and despite
Israeli objections was backed
by the U.S. and other nuclear pow-
ers for the first time since Arab
nations began pushing for such a
gathering 15 years ago.
Since, then, traditional ten-
sions have been exacerbated by a
push by Arab nations to force the
Jewish state to allow international
inspections of its secretive nuclear
program.
Islamic nations have long called
for Israel which is widely
believed to have nuclear arms
to open its program. Confidential
documents made available to the
AP in August showed increasing
pressure ahead of International
Atomic Energy Agency meetings
later this month, with Arab nations
lobbying even Washington and
other Israeli allies to drop their
traditional backing of the Jewish
states nuclear secrecy and vote for
a resolution calling on it to allow
IAEA inspections.
A report from IAEA chief
Yukiya Amano prepared for those
meetings and made available
Wednesday to the AP reflects the
tense situation.
The report, which is being cir-
culated internally to the IAEAs 35
board member nations, acknowl-
edges the failure to carry out a
meeting planned for this year on
a Mideast nuclear free zone due to
a long-standing and fundamen-
tal difference of views between
Israel ... and the other States of the
Middle East region.
Responses from Israel and
Islamic nations make it clear that
currently there is no convergence
of views on convening such talks,
said the report, dated Aug. 31
and entitled Application of IAEA
Safeguards in the Middle East.
Israel, the U.S. and their allies
consider Iran the regions greatest
proliferation threat, fearing that
Tehran is trying to achieve the
capacity to make nuclear weap-
ons despite its assertion that it is
only building a civilian program
to generate power.
But Islamic nations insist that
Israel is the true danger in the
Middle East.

Webb has chance
at playing time
Coach Turner Gill told as-
sembled media that he had not
ruled out playing quarterback
Jordan Webb in Saturdays
game. Gill said Webb could
play in the frst half, but did not
elaborate on what that situa-
tion would be.
We havent decided at this
point in time, Gill said. Well
decide here at the end of the
week. It could be a situation
where [playing Webb] wouldnt
be at the end of the game.
Weve talked about possibly
putting him in the game,
maybe in the frst half ... Again,
were still discussing that.
This came a day after Gill
said he was most looking
forward to seeing Pick play this
Saturday. It
had seemed
that Pick
had a steady
hold on the
quarterback
position, but
it now looks
like Webb
may still be
competing for the job.
Gill is not available to speak
to the media between now and
Saturdays game.

into the Top 10.
A few years ago, we had the
perfect storm with quarterbacks,
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said.
I always said at that time it was
hard to imagine that any league
could have the number of high-
level quarterbacks that there were.
I think its a little bit more typical
now.
This season, most of the Big 12
quarterbacks are relative unknowns
outside the conference and
sometimes even outside their own
schools.
From a competitors standpoint,
Im a little excited about it that we
dont have those high-profile guys
to worry about and lose sleep over,
Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said.
Texas coach Mack Brown is care-
ful to separate experience from tal-
ent.
Weve got some great quarter-
backs maybe that havent played
as much as that little run on quar-
terbacks we had, he said. But I
think at the end of the year well be
talking about how great this quar-
terback group is.
There is dynamic dual-threat
quarterback Robert Griffin at
Baylor. But he is coming back from
right knee surgery that limited him
to only three games last year after
his sensational freshman season in
2008 (2,934 total yards, 28 touch-
downs).
Coach Art Briles wont be able to
blow the whistle Saturday night to
keep Sam Houston State defenders
from tackling Griffin, who got a
medical redshirt and is still consid-
ered a sophomore.
When hes out there and the
bullets are live, hell know how to
respond, Briles said. Robert has
good instincts and great talents to
go with it.
The leagues most experienced
starters are Iowa States Austen
Arnaud and Texas A&Ms Jerrod
Johnson. Both seniors have started
23 games.
The 6-foot-5 Johnson, a receiver
before being moved back to quar-
terback, led the Big 12 with 314
total yards per game and threw 30
touchdowns last season. But the
Aggies still had a losing season.
The Longhorns Garrett Gilbert
got shoved onto the national stage
after McCoy got hurt on the first
drive of the BCS national cham-
pionship game. Gilbert threw the
only two TDs and only four
interceptions of his freshman
season going 15-of-40 passing
against Alabama.
Gilbert gets his first start for
fifth-ranked Texas on Saturday.

CHICAGO Thomas
Diamond received a game ball
and a beer shower after his first
major league win.
Diamond relieved injured start-
er Tom Gorzelanny and was part
of a strong effort by the Chicago
Cubs bullpen Wednesday in a
5-3 victory over the Pittsburgh
Pirates.
Its always nice to get the first.
I wish it would have happened
a little sooner, Diamond said.
Now, hopefully we can go on
and win a few more.
Kosuke Fukudome had three
hits, including a go-ahead double,
during a perfect day at the plate
for the Cubs. Carlos Marmol
escaped a bases-loaded jam in
the eighth inning and finished for
his 25th save in 30 chances.
Gorzelanny was knocked out in
the third when Jose Tabata lined a
shot off his right hand. The left-
hander departed for X-rays.
That was very scary, Tabata
said. I saw the ball and I thought
it was his face. In the moment I
froze. I hope hes better. I feel bad
for that.
After Gorzelanny left, five
Cubs relievers combined to allow
four hits the rest of the way.
Now that Ive moved from the
rotation to the bullpen, hopefully
I can find a spot there and con-
tribute, the 27-year-old Diamond
said.
Diamond (1-3) gave up two
runs and two hits in 1 2-3 innings.
Marmol walked in a run with two
outs in the eighth but struck out
Tabata to preserve a 5-3 lead.
James McDonald (2-5) took
the loss, allowing three runs and
eight hits in five innings.
For most of the game he
wasnt able to get the ball down
like he usually does and it cost
him a little bit, Pirates manager
John Russell said.
Diamond, called up from
Triple-A Iowa on Aug. 2, struck
out three and walked one. The
Cubs won two of three in the
series and finished 5-10 against
last-place Pittsburgh this season.

NEW YORK A.J. Burnett
bounced back from an awful August
by pitching six effective innings
and the New York Yankees beat the
Oakland Athletics 4-3 Wednesday
night for their fifth straight win.
The Yankees held their one-
game lead over Tampa Bay in the
AL East. Theyll go for a four-game
sweep Thursday with CC Sabathia
on the mound.
Kevin Kouzmanoff hit a two-
run homer for Oakland and Brett
Anderson only allowed one earned
run, but the As fell to 1-8 against
New York this season.
Burnett (10-12) went 0-4 in five
starts since his last win, July 28
at Cleveland. He came off a par-
ticularly rough outing in which
he lasted 3 1-3 innings and tied
a season high with eight earned
runs, leaving him with a 7.80 ERA
in August.
Burnett got September off to a
stronger start, allowing three runs
and striking out eight.
Mariano Rivera pitched the
ninth for his 28th save. He struck
out Kurt Suzuki with a runner on
second to end it.
Joba Chamberlain allowed a pair
of two-out singles in the seventh,
but Suzuki flied out to end the
threat.
Kerry Wood also put two run-
ners on with two outs, retiring
Rajai Davis to end the eighth.
Anderson (3-6) has lost four of
his last five starts. He gave up eight
hits in six innings.
Mark Ellis had three hits for the
As, who gave up 20 runs in the first
two games of the series against New
York, but couldnt capitalize when
they held the Yankees to four.
Coco Crisps RBI groundout that
made it 4-3 in the fifth was possible
because Davis stole third base after
he doubled.
The Yankees got a couple of
breaks in their three-run second
inning that made it 4-0.
Curtis Granderson and Eduardo
Nunez both hit one-out singles just
over shortstop Cliff Penningtons
glove.
Granderson came home as
Derek Jeter was safe at first when
Anderson bobbled the catch while
covering the bag on a grounder
to second. Mark Teixeiras two-
run single to left bounced just
to the left of third baseman
Kouzmanoff s glove and just to
the right of Penningtons.
Teixeira hit a long RBI double
to left-center in the first inning.
The Yankees scored three runs in
the first the night before and have
scored in the first inning in 10 of
their last 15 games.

ST. PeTerSburG, Fla. evan
Longoria snapped an eighth-
inning tie with an rbI single, lead-
ing the Tampa bay rays past the
Toronto blue Jays 2-1 Wednesday
night for David Prices club-record
16th victory.

hit of Scott Downs.
ben Zobrist began the winning
rally by drawing a one-out walk
from Shawn Camp (4-3). Carl
Crawford singled and Longoria,
who has 17 rbIs in his past 18
games, hit a hard grounder be-
tween shortstop and third base
to snap a 1-all tie.
The blue Jays threatened in the
ninth. Vernon Wells tripled with
one out, but Soriano struck out
Adam Lind and got buck to fy
out on the warning track in left
feld to end the game.
The victory gave Tampa bay
its 11th consecutive home series
win over Toronto, when hasnt
won a series at Tropicana Field
since April 2007.
Tampa bay manager Joe Mad-
don tinkered with the lineup
inserting rookie Desmond
Jennings in right feld, starting
catcher Dioner Navarro and using
former Colorado rockies All-Star
brad hawpe as the designated
hitter in his AL debut. The trio
went 1 for 7 with four strikeouts
against Marcum.
Price limited the blue Jays to
Mike McCoys third-inning infeld
single until buck hit his 15th

Freshman Brianne Riley lived
up to her title defensive spe-
cialist in the Jayhawks volley-
ball game Tuesday evening against
UMKC. Her coverage and con-
stant vocal support helped lead
to the Jayhawks 25-20 win in the
first set, 25-10 win in the second
set, and 25-16 in the third set,
leading to an overall victory for
the team.
Senior outside hitter Karina
Garlington said that Riley has
added a mentality the Jayhawks
have not had since shes been
here.
She is constantly talking,
Garlington said. I always hear her
voice behind me and it gives me a
lot of confidence because I know
shes there and playing hard.
Riley is also known to have a
curious ritual before the game,
pumping the team up with ran-
dom screaming.
Usually a lot of it is jibber-
jabber, but it gets people going
and fired up as opposed to it being
silent on the court. Riley said, A
lot of times I am just yelling out
things that I see and I feel it gets a
lot of the team more engaged and
focused.
Riley has played like a veteran
early in the season, recording 20
digs in the season opener. It is evi-
dent that she has played since she
was in fifth grade volleyball, to
her, comes naturally.
Riley had a total of three assists
and seven digs in the game against
UMKC this Tuesday.
I thought it was a good game,
a lot of intensity. Riley said, We
started a little slow we always
talk about setting the tone and
how that is our job but we came
out in the second game with a lot
more energy.
Coach Bechard said Riley
is extremely competitive and
focused. She passed well tonight.
She didnt have that many oppor-
tunities but she is leading the
team in digs. She serves very well;
we are very excited about a fresh-
man coming in to help us like
that.
Riley is a diverse player often
laughing in between sets, but seri-
ous during play.
I think she is a spark that if it is
quiet on the court you can always
hear her. Its never dead, She never
lets the energy sink low, team-
mate Allison Mayfield said. Shes
always picking everybody up [...].
Both verbally we can hear her on
the court and she is a great player
in the back row.
Riley is not limited to assis-
tance during play, however. Her
positive effect shows off the court.
Whether it is approaching and
apologizing to a fan who was hit
with a shanked ball or picking up
the extra balls after warm-ups,
Riley is a very positive player.
She is hoping to get involved in
SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory
Community).
All the athletes come togeth-
er and participate in more than
sports, she said. It is about being
more than an athlete and being
active in the community.

Any Michigan man will tell you,
there is nothing quite like beating
Ohio State. Every Buckeye agrees, a
win over that team from up North
is priority No. 1.
Well, now Michigan and Ohio
State could get two chances in a
season to beat their fiercest rival.
What would Woody and Bo
have thought of that? A rematch!
The Big Ten announced its
divisional breakdown for football
Wednesday night, and Ohio State
and Michigan will be in different
six-team divisions when the league
expands to 12 members in 2011.
Neither division has been
named, but they break down like
this: Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa,
Michigan State, Minnesota and
Northwestern in one; Ohio State,
Penn State, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Purdue and Indiana in the other.
Commissioner Jim Delany said
creating football divisions with
competitive balance was the top
priority and No. 2 was maintaining
a cross-division rivalry game for
each team.
We felt like we could do equal
competition and tradition with this
move, Delany said.
Michigan and Ohio State will
be a cross-divisional rivalry and
continue to play each other each
year in the Big Ten regular-season
finale, as they have since 1943. That
means they could wind up meeting
again for the conference champi-
onship a week or two later. Not in
the Big House or the Horseshoe
but on a neutral field. Maybe even
a domed stadium.
Basically, we decided to go with
the final season date because that
was a way to maintain the tradi-
tion, Delany said. The conference
has a wonderful history of not
only rivalry games but also trophy
games.
Big Ten teams will play eight
conference games the next two sea-
sons, but that could increase in the
future.
The athletic directors have
the intention of exploring a ninth
conference game in 2015, Delany
said.
For now there are no plans for
divisions in other sports. Delany
said he sees no benefit to basketball
divisions, but if conference leaders
decide they want them, they would
have to be drawn differently.
Nebraska will join the Big Ten
as its 12th team next year, allowing
the conference to split into two
divisions and add a lucrative cham-
pionship game. The first Big Ten
football championship game will
be played in Indianapolis at Lucas
Oil Stadium, the indoor home of
the NFLs Colts.
Te expansion put the confer-
ence in a delicate balancing act,
trying to add to its cofers without
diminishing its rich traditions,
none bigger than Michigan vs.
Ohio State.
Im very pleased that we came
out of this with protected rivalries
that will go on permanently with
Ohio State and Michigan State,
Michigan athletic director Dave
Brandon told Te Associated
Press. Well play Ohio State in the
last game of the regular season, fol-
lowing a tradition that has lasted
for decades. And if we both earn
the right, we can play the Buckeyes
again in the Big Ten championship
game.
Speculation that Michigan-Ohio
State game could be pushed out of
its end-of-season spot sent some
fans into an outrage.
We heard the fans, theres no
doubt about their voices mattered,
Delany said.
For years, the matchup known
simply as Te Game in Big Ten
country has been the conferences
signature rivalry, one of the most
storied and tradition-rich in all of
sports. Te Buckeyes and Wolver-
ines have played 106 times since
1897.
Twenty-two times Te Game
has determined whether Ohio
State or Michigan won the Big Ten
championship.
While Te Game will never
be the same since the title wont be
at stake in the regular season, the
league is still banking on it to be a
big deal.
New Big 10 divisions split Michigan
and Ohio State, but keep Te Game

Recruit fails to meet
academic standards
Prized Missouri basketball re-
cruit Tony Mitchell has been ruled
academically ineligible for the
2010-2011 season, Rivals.coms
Jerry Meyer reported Wednesday.
Mitchell did not meet Mis-
souris academic standards in time
to enroll at the school, ending
his freshman campaign before
it could begin. Mitchell was the
12th-ranked recruit in the country,
according to Rivals, and would
likely have started as a small for-
ward for the Tigers in 2010.
He will likely play overseas in
Europe for a season before taking
his game to the NBA.
Mizzou RB ofcially
removed from squad
Missouri announced Wednes-
day that starting tailback Derrick
Washington was permanently
suspended after allegedly sexu-
ally assaulting his tutor.
Washington has been Missouris
feature back since the graduation
of Tony Temple prior to his sopho-
more season. He exploded onto
the scene as a sophomore, run-
ning for 1,078 yards and 17 touch-
downs, earning second-team all-
conference honors. He regressed
a bit in his junior year, running for
865 yards and 10 touchdowns, but
was still expected to be one of the
top runners in the Big 12.
Without Washington, the Tigers
are untested at running back, with
sophomore Kendial Lawrence
jumping to the top spot and
DeVion Moore currently on
the disabled list listed as the
primary backup. Freshmen Henry
Josey and Marcus Murphy both
undersized at 180 pounds will
fll the gaps.
Washingtons scholarship will
not be terminated for as long as
he stays at Mizzou.

I
really enjoy when professional
athletes express themselves
through unique hairstyles or by
reaching out to their fans in clever and
funny ways. That is why I always find it
disheartening whenever I hear of a team
asking its newest member to trim his
signature hairstyle.
The most recent example of this is
the Chicago White Sox having Manny
Ramirez cut down his dreadlocks. For as
long as I can remember watching him,
Mannys dreads have been a symbol of
his happy-go-lucky lifestyle.
Manny is not the first example of this
happening. For most of his career Randy
Johnson looked like he had just stepped
out of some kind of time machine, with
a mullet and mustache combo that
would make Hulk Hogan burst with
pride. In 2005 he joined the New York
Yankees and was told to clean up, and
the mullet was no more. The next year
the Evil Empire struck again. This time
Johnny Damon, known to Red Sox fans
as Jesus or Captain Caveman because of
his long brown hair and beard, showed
up in a Yankees uniform looking like a
typical Manhattan metrosexual.
I see no point in management tell-
ing players what they can and cant do.
These athletes are, at their most basic
levels, entertainers. When I watch a
sporting event I do it because I enjoy
it. It is entertaining. I dont want own-
ers driving up ticket prices on me and
simultaneously taking the fun out of it.
This is why I love what Chad
Ochocinco represents. He may be con-
sidered a distraction by purists, but he
does what he does for his fans. At the
end of last season, Ochocinco started
to talk about how he wanted to change
his name again. This time to Chad
Hachi Go (85 in Japanese) to honor his
Japanese fans.
Then there are athletes like Troy
Polamalu, the Pittsburgh Steelers
safety. Polamalu grows out his hair to
honor his Samoan heritage. But he also
has fun with it. Last year he starred
in commercials for Head & Shoulders
Shampoo. In the commercial, he was
being interviewed about the game but
would always answer attributing his suc-
cess to the shampoo products. Recently
he insured his hair for one million dol-
lars in case anything should happen to it.
When athletes go out of their way to
entertain us, it reminds us that they are
not robots but people, too. Honestly,
doesnt everyone (except Giants fans)
like Peyton Manning more than his
little brother Eli because Peyton puts
out funny commercials and hosts SNL
while Eli always comes off as awkward
in interviews? I take comfort in knowing
the superstar I am watching on TV has
at least some semblance of a personality,
even if its just for show.

ISTANBUL In the political
arena, Iran vs. the United States is
a matchup that gets attention.
In a basketball arena, not so
much.
For me, its a normal game,
Iran captain Mahdi Kamrany
said.
The United States won it easily,
earning a top seed in the knock-
out round of the world cham-
pionship with an 88-51 victory
Wednesday in the first meeting
between the countries with a his-
tory of contentious relations.
The U.S. team, which down-
played the political aspect of the
game, methodically pulled away
in the first half, wearing down the
Asian champions with its depth
and athleticism.
We just respected their bas-
ketball team and we just played
a basketball game, U.S. coach
Mike Krzyzewski said. Theres
no political aspect in my mind in
the ballgame.
Kevin Love scored 13 points
and Kevin Durant 12 for the
Americans (4-0), who will meet
the fourth-place team from Group
A in the round of 16.
After playing his starters
for most of the second half of
a 70-68 victory over Brazil on
Monday, Krzyzewski went to the
bench early in this one, with the
Americans shooting 58 percent
and scoring 23 points off turn-
overs in the easy victory.
Hamed Haddadi scored 19
points for Iran (1-3) and Arsalan
Kazemi had 14.
Im very happy, I played
against the best team in the
world, Kamrany said.
The tensions between the
nations governments provided
the backdrop off the court, with
a group of fans sitting near mid-
court before the game holding
U.S. and Iran flags and a sign
reading PEACE in between.
The only sparring on the floor
was a playful bump between
Haddadi and U.S. forward Rudy
Gay, teammates with the NBAs
Memphis Grizzlies.
We should leave politics to
the politicians, U.S. center Tyson
Chandler said. Were here to play
basketball.
The countries have feuded
for decades and their relations
have deteriorated in recent years,
with the United States supporting
sanctions against Iran for con-
tinuing with programs it believes
could be used to create nuclear
weapons.
The U.S. team tried to keep
the focus on the floor, with
Krzyzewski saying he had played
in Iran in the 1970s with an
Armed Forces team and had great
respect for the country.
Krzyzewski was answering a
question about turnovers in the
postgame news conference when
he noticed Iran coach Veselin
Matic to his left nodding in agree-
ment.
Thats the first level of diplo-
macy. Thats one thing were in
agreement with, Krzyzewski
joked.
Theres no rivalry on the bas-
ketball court, where the nations
had never met in Olympic or
world championship play. The
Iranian national team even came
to Utah two years ago at the invi-
tation of the NBA to play in a
summer league as preparation for
the 2008 Olympics.
Thats one of the beautiful
things about sports, U.S. center
Lamar Odom said. If you think
about the history of sports, you
take people from different cul-
tures, from different beliefs and
bring them together. Sports is the
one thing that can kind of bring
people together and have a great
atmosphere. It was great playing a
game like this.
And in a nod to the Iranian
supporters in Istanbul which
included minister of sports Ali
Saeedlou earlier in the tourna-
ment dancers were ordered to
cover up for their performances
during the game. Islam prohib-
its women from exposing their
skin in public, and Iranian offi-
cials had turned their backs when
the dancers performed in earlier
games.

LOS ANGELES Roy Oswalt
pitched one-hit ball into the sev-
enth and the Philadelphia Phillies
used leadoff homers by Jimmy
Rollins and Shane Victorino in
the first two innings to beat the
Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 on
Wednesday.
The Dodgers managed only
three hits in support of Clayton
Kershaw and didnt put up much
of a struggle against Oswalt
(10-13), who has been a valu-
able pennant-drive pickup for
Philadelphia
The right-hander, who turned
33 on Sunday, held Los Angeles
hitless until Casey Blake lined
a clean single to right field with
two outs in the sixth after Oswalt
issued the fifth of his six walks.
Two nights earlier, Dodgers
pitcher Hiroki Kuroda no-hit
the Phillies until Victorino got a
one-out single in the eighth.
Oswalt threw 115 pitches and
struck out six. The three-time
All-Star is 4-1 with a 1.90 ERA
in seven starts since the Phillies
acquired him in a trade with
Houston on July 29 includ-
ing a 2-0 win over Los Angeles
in which he pitched seven
innings in his second start with
Philadelphia.
The last time he pitched at
Dodger Stadium on July 17,
2009, Oswalt threw a four-hitter
on six days rest and won 8-1.
The Dodgers got an unearned
run in the eighth off Ryan
Madson on James Loneys RBI
single. But Madson minimized
the damage by retiring Blake on
an inning-ending, double-play.

Every day walking to
and from classes I have
the honor of passing
Memorial Stadium. Yes,
I do say honor because
as a fan, it is exhilarat-
ing just to walk by and
remember games from
last year and to imagine
the games to come. On
my walks, Ive noticed
each day there have been
new additions: more tents on
the hill, more seat cushions
added to reserved seats and
parking barriers lying off to
the side waiting for the first
game Saturday night.
As the stadium is prepar-
ing for the first game, there
is one lingering question: is
the team prepared? With new
coaches, and a new roster,
fans anxiously await their
chance to see the team in
action. In a press conference
Tuesday, coach Turner Gill
said the team was ready.
I do know our team is
going to be competitive, they
are going to be physical and
we are going to play fast,
Gill said. Those are the
things that we demanded of
our football team as we went
on through pre-season camp
and as we go on to game
week at this point now.
This is comforting to hear
from our new head coach
and after meeting him last
week for an interview I found
him incredibly trustworthy.
The facts still stand that we
have new coaches and a new
roster to which athletes have
been added, lost and shuffled
around between positions.
I am no football coach, so
I am inclined to trust their
decisions on who should play
with Kansas on their jersey,
but like many other fans I
feel an urgency to see that
first victory on the schedule.
The fan base was left
hurting after close losses or
really bad losses last season,
and a horrific offseason, but
some of those wounds can
be assuaged with a simple
victory to show our team
is new and ready to take
on anything. I went to Fan
Appreciation Day to watch
the football teams open prac-
tice and it was great to be
back in the stands watching
the Jayhawks play and a part
of me hopes that this week-
end does go as smoothly as a
practice.
I have watched my brother
play baseball for years and
one of the other kids on his
team has this wonderful
rambunctious grandmother
who shouts things like, Just
play catch. Honestly, that
is all I am looking for this
first game. Nothing fancy
unless we are up a couple
touchdowns or it works in a
perfect SportsCenter Top 10
way. Of course I will criticize
plays where they should have
run up the giant hole in the
middle or not done a hand-
off when the running back
is stopped before the line
of scrimmage, but that just
comes with the game, and
hopefully there are not too
many of those to criticize.
This campus thrives when
our athletes are successful
when students can celebrate
all weekend and pick up a
Kansan on Monday just to
remember how awesome
Saturday was.
I wish the fans and the
team a smooth first game
with many great plays,
chimes of the Campanile and
a good waving of the wheat
after the victory.

On your mark:
A bruiser and a burner, a pounder
and a speedster, the dynamic running
duo of Lawrence are setting up to
be a highly touted weapon in coach
Turner Gills arsenal.
Both Angus Quigley and DeShaun
Sands will have the majority of carries
in the Jayhawks backfield during the
2010-11 campaign.
Get Set:
The 6-foot-1, 231 pound starter,
Angus Quigley, looks to be the driv-
ing force of the dynamic Jayhawk
offense, by exploiting every hole and
consistently busting through the line.
The sixth year senior is ready to
return to the running back position
after winning the starting job, beat-
ing a deep, talented group of running
backs.
Quigley not only earned the respect
of his coaches on the field, but when
his teammates elected him as captain,
it sent a message to Gill.
Angus is definitely a tremendous
leader, Gill said.
In his only full year playing at run-
ning back, Quigley was the second-
leading rusher for the Orange-Bowl-
winning team in 2008. With 309 yards
gained on 59 carries, he led the team
in yards per carry,
averaging 5.2
yards every time
he touched the
ball. But it hasnt
been all sunshine
and roses with
Quigleys tenure
at Kansas, he had
to miss the 2005
and 2006 season
due to injury, and
he was moved to
linebacker in 2009 while dealing with
well-publicized issues with former
coach Mark Mangino.
Quigleys comeback has a strong
effect in the locker room, and the
coaching staff has seen how his posi-
tive attitude rubs off on this years
squad.
He can help guys to persevere,
Gill said.
While he has earned the respect
of the coaching staff and players, the
fans have yet to see what Quigley can
do once the spotlight is on him.
On the other half of the depth
chart, the smooth
cutting moves of
redshirt fresh-
man DeShaun
Sands look to
overwhelm the
opponent on
game day.
Sands came
into training
camp looking
to impress his
coaches and earn
his spot on the backfield.
I was determined to play this
year, said Sands.
And play he will.
Sands will be the No. 2 back on
Gills depth chart. Having two strong
running backs can only benefit the
team.
No doubt both Quigley and Sands
are looking to end the season as the
No. 1 back, and the increased com-
petition will only make the Jayhawks
a more dangerous team in the back-
field.
Even starting quarterback Kale
Pick is eager to have the duo behind
him, taking pressure off his throwing
game.
Theyre very talented. Both of
them are. And I am excited to see
what they can do on game day, said
Pick.
Together, the bruiser and the
burner will be working towards one
goal: win. In the physical world of
college football having tandem run-
ning backs is a necessary ingredient
to a winning football team. Quigley
and Sands are going to be ready to
give it everything theyve got come
Saturdays this fall.
Go.

Coach Turner Gill 's parents will watch himon the football feld in person for the frst time since 1983 this Saturday against NDSU.
BY MATT gALLOWAY

Two people who helped shape
who Turner Gill is as a coach, and
as a man, will see him lead a team
as head coach for the first time this
Saturday: his parents.
Their attendance only brings
more meaning to the game for Gill,
who is making his coaching debut
for the Jayhawks Saturday against
North Dakota State following four
seasons at Buffalo. The last time his
parents saw him on the field was
back in 1983 when he was quarter-
back at Nebraska.
So thats what probably makes it
a little bit more special, Gill said.
Also in attendance will be Gills
daughter Jordan, a student at the
University of Kansas. Jordan, by
chance, was already attending the
school when her father was hired.
My daughter being here, and
then we are all here together as a
family, Gill said. You never dream
of that actually happening.
While the excitement surround-
ing his first game as coach could
be seen as a distraction, Gill insists
he is focusing solely on the Bison,
who are coached by a man Gill has
seen at many different times during
his career.
North Dakota State coach Craig
Bohl played defensive back for
the Nebraska
Cor nhus ker s
from 1977-79,
the same school
Gill played
quarterback for
from 1980-83.
He has done
an outstanding
job, Gill said.
I know that his
team will play
hard. I know
that they have been coached well. I
know he is a very defensive-minded
coach.
Still, there is a chance the emo-
tion of the moment could briefly
get to Gill, who is not ruling out
butterflies in the stomach as a pre-
game possibility.
Once the first snap goes, then
you are kind of ready to go, even
though Im not going to go out there
and get hit and all those types of
things, Gill said. But I get excited
and I get passionate about the game,
and get focused on the job that
needs to get done.
Gill likely will not be the only
one on the sidelines with pre-game
jitters. Freshman running back
DeShaun Sands,
who Gill expects
to complement
senior Angus
Quigley this
season, wants to
show his coach
i m m e d i a t e
returns on his
plan to give him
numerous car-
ries this week.
I just get
goose bumps thinking about it,
Sands said. In front of 50,000 fans,
my first time; Im just nervous I
guess. It was a dream to play here
growing up.
Gill has one request for Jayhawk
fans in attendance this Saturday,
including his parents and Jordan.
I would like for them to make
sure to wear blue, make sure they
come to the game energized and be
ready to go with some enthusiasm,
Gill said.
