For sale: 5BR 4BA tropical delight along Havanas exclusive embassy row, just steps from the balmy waters of the Florida Straits. Asking price: $200,000. Foreigners need not apply. This is the face of a brand-new real estate market that became official in Cuba on Thursday, as a new measure legalized home sales for the first time in generations, applying a jolt of free-market wheeling and dealing to one of the socialist countrys most dire problems: a grave shortage of housing. I think this law is divine, said Tania Duran, whos offering the home in western Havana. What I find strange is that it hasnt happened before, because its only logical that if you have property and want to sell it, you can.

A military aircraft from Sudan crossed the new international border with South Sudan and dropped bombs Thursday in and around a camp filled with refugees, officials said. A government official initially reported deaths, but an American activist who spoke to aid workers at the camp later said there were no casualties. There was no immediate comment from the Sudanese government in Khartoum on Thursday, as deadly fighting broke out in the Sudanese state of South Kordofan between the military and forces loyal to South Sudan. The president of South Sudan, which became the worlds newest country only four months ago, said he fears the Khartoum-based government intends to invade the south soon.

Israels Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the rape conviction of former President Moshe Katsav and ordered him to begin serving a seven-year prison term next month, a landmark decision that culminated a sordid five-year saga. The rape conviction for the former head of state was hailed as a victory for womens rights and equality under the law, particularly at a sensitive time when Israels liberal democracy has come under assault from extreme nationalists. From this day on, let nobody dare claim that these are women who tried to conspire against the President. Rather, they are brave women who must empower all harassed women who are afraid to complain, said Tzipi Livni, Israels opposition leader and most prominent female politician.

A Japanese aid worker was among 10 people killed by a second earthquake in eastern Turkey, and angry residents protested Thursday that authorities should have closed down two collapsed hotels that were damaged by the first temblor. Riot police used pepper spray to halt the protests. The demonstration erupted as rescue workers with pickaxes and earth-movers searched for survivors of Wednesday nights quake, which hit the same region slammed by an Oct. 23 temblor that left 600 people dead in the eastern province of Van. Some 28 people were pulled out of the rubble in the provincial capital, also called Van, as frantic rescue efforts began Wednesday evening.

Wealthy departments carry risk

By Billy McCroy
editor@kansan.com
Kansas where guys complain about the toilet paper. Just shake. Punctuation: its the difference between helping your friend, Jack, off a horse, and your friend jack off a horse. Hire Joe Paterno. Editors note: For the multiple FFAs advocating for this, do you know anything about football, or about 84-year-old disgraced coaches?
University athletic departments make millions of dollars, entertain thousands of fans and create an environment for hundreds of student athletes to pursue a college education while continuing to play the sports they love. However, there is a problem with athletic departments: They can fall into a trap of corruption by the vast amounts of money they generate and the need to sustain those high profits. This problem has taken center stage with the story at Penn State unfolding. Jerry Sandusky was a coach at Penn State for two decades, most notably serving as the defensive coordinator at a program that became known as Linebacker U. He was the heir apparent to become head coach after the legendary Joe Paterno would finally retire. Not to mention he was also an intricate part of two national championship winning teams. When he was arrested on Satur-
day, Nov. 5 on 21 felony charges, including seven counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, it came as a shock to sports fans across the country. It is alleged that Sandusky sexually abused eight boys in a span of 15 years through his charitable organization, the Second Mile. Several alleged incidents have been reported to have taken place at Penn State athletic facilities. The most shuddering piece of the grand jury report is the fact that this had been investigated as far back as 1998. In a June 1, 1998, interview with investigators from both Penn State police and the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare, Sandusky admits to showering naked with an 11-yearold boy, admitting that it was wrong and promising not to do it again,
according to the grand jury report. The problem not only lies with the act itself, but the resulting cover-up within Penn States administration. Penn States athletic director, Tim Curley and another athletic department official were arrested and charged with perjury and failing to alert police or childprotection agencies about what they knew of the alleged occurrences. According to the report, Curley, ... made materially false statements under oath. College athletic departments are made to generate vast amounts of revenuen and anything that could jeopardize this becomes a detriment to the programs success. This model only fosters a greater amount of corruption and a lack of institutional control. They are separate incorporated entities. Isnt it in the best interest of universities to disconnect athletic programs with these opportunities that put
their institutions reputation at risk? Its time that universities took control of theentire institution and cleaned up the programs that take part in athletics wearing the names of these great colleges and universities. This writer isnt advocating that college athletics should become completely separate from the institutions they represent; however, this is just one example of criminality in college sports. The landscape of college sports must change and must have a governing body that has the power to regulate and clean up the entire system. Anything less will only bring about more opportunities for athletic departments to conduct illegal and/ or immoral transgressions. McCroy is a junior from Des Moines, Iowa.

Student senators are addressing concerns over whether social media profiles could pose problems for students, especially those the University employs. A senate subcommittee met Nov. 1 to discuss the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities to ensure students rights are protected online Senator Aaron Harris, a senior from Kansas City, Kan., said the code currently does not provide adequate protection for students electronically. He said an all-student committee brainstormed about what changes should be made. Harris said the amendment should focus on protecting students when using the campus network, University servers such as the Hawk Drive and social media. We dont want the University to take a back door to find students information, Harris said. He said the group was looking into whether it would be appropriate for students
to be disciplined or terminated from campus employment for online postings. Harris said another major focus of the amendment would be defining terms like social media. Our definitions for social media, now, can be used 10 or 15 years down the road, Harris said. We want this to be long lasting. The committee is looking into ways to protect the University as a whole also, not just the students. One of the ideas was about posting of intellectual property, Harris said. He said the group is talking about whether students should be banned from posting class presentations and other material online to share with classmates. Assistant vice provost for student success Jane Tuttle said she couldnt fully comment because faculty had not been invited to the initial committee meetings, but she wasnt sure what the issue is with the current code. If policies are well written, they should cover social media, Tuttle
said. She said she looks forward to attending committee meetings once they are open to administration. While the Senate reviews the Student Code of Rights and Responsibilities every two years, Harris thought the lack of online protection in the code needed to be addressed this year. I dont want to pass this on to another group, Harris said. Harris said he hopes to have an amendment through full Senate by March. The subcommittee will have one more student only meeting on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Governors Room of the Kansas Union. The meeting will be open to any students interested in changing the code. Harris said students are allowed to vote after attending one committee meeting and encourages students to get involved in Senate committees. Not a lot of people realize that students can change things, Harris said. Edited by Jason Bennett

Strong Girls on campus

Claire mCinerny
cmcinerny@kansan.com the sport and exercise psychology department, along with Brown, a post doctoral student in the department, started the program as a research project. According to Fry, previous research shows that young girls do not have as much opportunity as boys to be physically active. The two wanted to give young girls that opportunity and see how it affects the rest of their lives. Some of our recent findings have shown that kids in the program are more likely to define success based on their efforts and improvements, which is a great quality to have in life, Fry said. To mark the progress of the girls, Fry and Brown have the participants write or draw in a journal at the end of each afternoon. Seeing how the girls interpret the lessons about self-esteem, positive thinking and the importance of exercising with words or pictures help Fry and Brown evaluate results. The two also send surveys to the girls parents and teachers to see if behavior outside of the Strong Girls meetings is different. Since girls in the program come from only two elementary schools, teachers often report that the girls are getting along better in the classroom, according to Fry. To facilitate this change with the young girls, Strong Girls has 50 student volunteers work with the girls in small groups. After going through a training process, the leaders lead physical activities and help set good examples for the younger girls. Part of the reason Thornsbury looks forward to Strong Girls so much is because she loves spending time with her leaders. Not only does she have fun with them, but they give her opportunities she would not get otherwise such as new ways to exercise. The elementary school girls benefit from the program, but the leaders benefit also. Kelsie Feagan, a junior from Omaha, said she also looks forward to Wednesdays. I want to be positive to everyone, Feagan said. Not just these girls. Edited by Jayson Jenks
Program offers guidance to girls

Every Wednesday, fifth-grader Addie Thornsbury cant wait to leave her class at Broken Arrow Elementary School. Not because she doesnt like it there, but rather, she gets to come to campus and see her friends and mentors at Strong Girls. Strong Girls, a program started by co-directors Dr. Mary Fry and Theresa Brown, helps improve positive thinking and physical activity in as many as 90 thirdfourth- and fifth-grade girls. If you think about all the things kids have to navigate through and deal with, its overwhelming and its amazing they can grow up to be productive citizens, Brown said. The reason we target the age range we do is because were trying to give them some tools before problems start happening. Fry, an associate professor in

cmcinerny@kansan.com The image of a veteran can too easily be stereotyped as an older man in his 80s, holding a flag in a Veterans Day parade, proudly showing his medals from Vietnam or Korea or maybe even World War II. But for the generation currently at Kansas, the face of a war veteran is changing. Take Katherine Robinson for example. Robinson, a non-traditional senior from Coburn, Va., enrolled at the University at 24 years old after serving in the Army for 14 months in Iraq. Veterans Day, for Robinson, is exciting to celebrate because the memories of her service are not so far behind her. months in Iraq, once she returned, her husband immediately left to serve, making the situation even harder. While adapting to the drastic lifestyle of the Army and going so long without seeing her husband was difficult, it was also hard for Robinson to adjust back to civilian life. After 15-hour days and complete structure, Robinson struggled to throw herself into college life at the University. Here I was, 24 years old and Ive had all this responsibility, and all of a sudden I was a student again, Robinson said. School is a responsibility, but its not the same as making a decision that will drastically change someones life. Jake, a senior from Oberlin, dealt with the same struggles. Being around college students who did not go through the same experience as Jake often bothered him. You just get frustrated when people complain about things you dont complain about, Jake said. You were in a situation that is life or death and then you come back and someones complaining about whether they can afford some shoes they want.
VEtERANS DAY
Returning from war
Robinson describes herself as a girly girl. At first, she had a hard time adjusting to using only bar soap in the shower and no longer having privacy, but joining the Army was not about the lifestyle. It was about supporting her beliefs. I really wanted to serve, Robinson said. I was really supportive of what we were doing over there and I felt like if I was going to vote for it, I needed to be a part of it. Robinson left college to enlist, and once she was in the Army, she never looked back. She is an intelligence analyst for the Army, so deployment was the only way she could practice what she was trained to do.

After basic training, Robinson moved on to Advanced Individual Training, a 12-week session that trains soldiers for their specific jobs. During this training, she met her future husband, Jake. Because this wasnt basic training and the soldiers had more free time, it wasnt a big deal for Robinson to date another soldier. However, the challenges of falling in love on a military base did make dating difficult. The two couldnt hang out in each others rooms and they were often surrounded by the other soldiers, so it was hard to find time to spend with just each other. But despite the lack of privacy, the two didnt mind the situation. It felt normal, Robinson said. Because I guess, at that point, I was so used to being with everyone all the time. Being away from her husband for the first three years of their marriage presented Robinson with a personal challenge while she served in Iraq. Although Robinson spent only 14
The challenges of military life
Although not everyone at the University can empathize with Robinson and Jakes past, the two said the veteran support at the University is strong. Jake is vice president of the Collegiate Veterans Association (CVA), a group that organizes social events and advocates for students who served in the military. Jake said one project the group is currently working on is to get in-state tuition for veterans. In addition to the work they do for veterans, Jake said CVA also provides him with a strong support system. Its good they have the same experiences as you, Jake said. We probably spend half our time talking about being in the military or our deployment. Even though adjusting back to everyday life challenged Robinson, she said her experience in the military helped prepare her for it. It really helped me confidencewise, Robinson said. When I was in school before, I was really, really shy and really nervous about everything. I would have never joined something like CVA before. It really helped me not be afraid to take chances and to know I can be in leadership positions if I need to and its not a big deal. Edited by Sarah Champ

Marines celebrate 236th birthday

laura satHer
lsather@kansan.com Starting off with a performance of the national anthem from the Lawrence High School choir, the Dole Institute of Politics hosted a celebration for the 236th United States Marine Corps birthday Thursday. This year marks the 20th year the institute has hosted the Marine Corps birthday, and during his speech, guest of honor Col. Michael McCoy said even though hes attended many Marine Corps birthday celebrations, the attendance at each one keeps growing. Each year, theres more and more Marines from multiple generations that come in, and theyre still proud to be Marines, serve over a period of time and celebrate together, McCoy said. McCoy also said that not just the number of Marines seems to be increasing, but also the number of young Marines. Navy ROTC midshipmen also attended the birthday celebration. Midshipman Lucas Frickey, a sophomore from Clearwater, said the birthday celebration was especially important for him. Im extremely proud to be able to, Im obviously not a Marine yet, but Im on the career path, but to join such an elite group of warriors and to carry on the long legacy that theyve laid before us, Frickey said. Of the 100 in attendance, many were veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Desert Storm. Cpl. Jim Weaver, who served from 1966 to 1969, said seeing the younger veterans was inspiring. Its pretty emotional. Ive been doing it for quite a while; Ive been a Marine for a long time, but once a Marine, always a Marine, he said. Its kind of what formed me into who I am today. Although hes not a Marine, city commissioner Bob Schumm was celebrating his own birthday at the event. He said for the city, the birthday commemoration was a way for citizens to show their appreciation for Marines, as well as for Marines themselves to bond. You look around and see all ages. Theres a lot of camaraderie, said Schumm. It really is a force of all ages. McCoy said seeing the younger crowd of Marines connecting with older veterans was especially important. Recently, he visited Parris Island in South Carolina to see young men and women in training. He said seeing those Marines in the making confirmed what hes always thought the Marine Corps was about. Its not about me, its not about any one Marine, its not about rank, its about what we do in service to the nation, McCoy said. Once a Marine, always a Marine; thats part of our ethos, thats part of our blood. Its not a job; its not a career. It really is a passion. Edited by Josh Kantor

Grain elevator explosion in atchison leaves six dead

AssociAted Press
An explosion that killed six people and injured two others at a northeast Kansas grain elevator was accidental, the State Fire Marshals Office said Thursday. The agency said it found no evidence of criminal activity in the Oct. 29 grain dust explosion at the Bartlett Grain Co. elevator in Atchison, about 50 miles northwest of Kansas City. Preliminary findings indicate the blast apparently originated in the elevators main bin area. The investigation is ongoing. Rose Rozmiarek, the chief of investigations for the Fire Marshals Office, said in a telephone interview that grain dust was definitely the fuel that was ignited, but investigators are still trying to determine the spark. The amount of grain dust accumulation at the time is going to be hard to determine, she said. All we can say is that there was enough (grain dust) to allow that to happen, which unfortunately is the hazard of any of these elevators, she said. The elevator itself was half full of product at the time. Rozmiarek said she did not know whether the main bin area where the explosion is believed to have originated was the bin being unloaded into rail cars at the time. Investigators have completed an external examination of the facility as well as a limited internal look to the extent that those areas are accessible. Some smoldering fire still exists in the damaged bin areas. The grain storage facility has 14 silo areas. About four of them are still inaccessible, she said. A final report on the explosion will take several weeks to complete, the Fire Marshals Office said. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is conducting its own investigation, which is expected to take several months. The state investigation is likely to stay open until investigators can get into all areas of the elevator. If some areas remain inaccessible, the state is likely to list the cause as its preliminary findings indicate. Unfortunately, we have worked several grain elevator explosions in Kansas, Rozmiarek said. Nothing is really out of the ordinary per se in this one. The explosion killed Bartlett employees John Burke, 24; Ryan Federinko, 21; Curtis Field, 21; and Chad Roberts, 20, as well as grain inspectors Travis Keil, 34; and Darrek Klahr, 43.

Oil pipeline delayed to address problems

AssociAted Press
The Obama administration said Thursday it is delaying a decision on a massive oil pipeline until it can study new potential routes that avoid environmentally sensitive areas of Nebraska, a move that likely puts off final action on the pipeline until after the 2012 election. The announcement by the State Department means Calgary-based TransCanada Corp. will have to figure out a way to move the proposed Keystone XL pipeline around the Nebraska Sandhills region and Ogallala aquifer, which supplies water to eight states. The State Department said it will require an environmental review of the new section, which is expected to be completed in early 2013. President Barack Obama said the 1,700-mile pipeline could affect the health and safety of the American people as well as the environment. We should take the time to ensure that all questions are properly addressed and all the potential impacts are properly understood, Obama said in a statement. The decision on whether to approve the $7 billion pipeline should be guided by an open, transparent process that is informed by the best available science and the voices of the American people, Obama said. TransCanada Corp. is seeking to build a 36-inch pipeline to carry oil derived from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast. The pipeline would travel through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma before reaching Texas. The heavily contested project has become a political trap for Obama, who risks angering environmental supporters if he approves the pipeline and could face criticism from labor and business groups for thwarting job creation if he rejects it. Some liberal donors have threatened to cut off contributions to Obamas re-election campaign if he approves the pipeline. The project has become a focal point for environmental groups, which say it would bring dirty oil that requires huge amounts of energy to extract. They also worry that the pipeline could cause an ecological disaster in case of a spill. Thousands of protesters gathered across from the White House on Sunday to oppose the pipeline, and celebrities including Seinfeld actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus have made videos urging to reject the pipeline. The State Department has authority over the project because it crosses a U.S. border. Environmental activist Bill McKibben, who led protests against the pipeline and was arrested in a demonstration earlier this year, said on Twitter that the protests had an effect on the Obama administration. A done deal has come spectacularly undone! he wrote. The Keystone XL pipeline would carry as much as 700,000 barrels of oil a day.

mvernon@kansan.com As a walk-on linebacker living in Oliver Hall his freshman and sophomore years, Steven Johnson used to tell people that he was going to play Varsity football for the University of Kansas. Some of those people would laugh at him while others would wish him luck. But none of them would have believed where Johnson would end up with just one game remaining in his career at Memorial Stadium leading the Big 12 conference in tackles. When Johnson first moved into his dorm freshman year, he was just a normal student at the University. A resident of Oliver Hall because of his walk-on status, Johnson never received the special amenities and recognition that athletes at Kansas so often receive. But the lack of credit never stopped Johnson from striving toward his goals. In fact, living in a dorm his first two years, as opposed to Jayhawker Towers where most student athletes live, transformed Johnson into the person and football player he is today. For my four years here, Ive learned a lot, Johnson said. Ive learned how to continue to fight when things look bad, Ive learned to stay humble and motivated when things are really good. Theres always going to be a winner and loser and the only thing you can do on Saturdays is go out and give it your all. And Johnson has done just that, going from what he says was a fat 240-pound kid into a 237-pound piece of muscle. He worked hard through the ranks and earned himself a scholarship his junior year. Johnson has been recognized frequently by his teammates for his work ethic, and his defensive coordinator, Vic Shealy, said that Johnson watches as much film as anyone else on the team. Johnsons 95 tackles this season puts him as the 10th leading tackler in the country and his performance this season has caught the attention of NFL scouts. They always say things about Steve where you can tell there is a little bit of a wow factor, Shealy said of NFL scouts response after watching Johnson. Shealy said its Johnsons speed, as well as his physicality, that has become a draw for NFL scouts an impressive feat for a player that did not have a football scholarship just three years ago. While Johnson is an impressive player on the field, his demeanor off the field is what has truly caught attention of his teammates and coaches. Shealy said after the teams 42-0 loss to Texas, in which Johnson had a team-high 15 tackles, Johnson approached Shealy and told him that the teams loss was his fault. He wants to win so bad, junior cornerback Tyler Patmon said. Hes going to take responsibility for everything. And its happened more than once. Shealy said even when Johnson hasnt vocally taken the blame for a

COMMENTARY
Senior linebacker Steven Johnson slams Iowa States Jeff Woody in a tackle in the second half of last Saturdays game at Jack Trice Stadium. Johnson contributed five tackles in the Jayhawks 10-13 defeat. Kansas is now 2-7 for the season and 0-6 in Big 12 play. loss, he can see it in Johnsons eyes that he feels like he let the team down. His coach, Turner Gill, said that a players development like Johnsons, both on and off the field, is what makes coaching exciting. You get to see guys develop in a short period of time and how much hes grown as a person, Gill said. I think he will definitely have an opportunity at the next level if he continues to do what hes been doing here the last three games. With Senior Day approaching and Johnsons collegiate career coming to an end, his future and whether or not he can continue to play football is in question. Yet no one outside the Johnson camp would have believed he would be where he is today: at the top of the Big 12 in tackles and on the cusp of continuing his football career after college. But Johnsons father, also named Steven, did. Johnson said his father told the chubby high schooler on his first visit to Kansas that he would lead the Big 12 in tackles, among other achievements. I was just like, I hope so, Johnson said. I knew it was going to take a lot of work. And in Johnsons first Division I practice, he was halfway run over by running back Angus Quigley. But Johnson said that he didnt completely run him over and thats when he knew that he had a chance to do something special, if he worked for it. I was just like, I can play with these guys, Johnson said. From then on, there was no looking back. Edited by Lindsey Deiter

ne petty tweet sent out by Kansas official twitter account on Nov. 6 seemed to be as good an epitaph as any for the now-deceased Border War, aged 120 years. Missouri forfeits a century-old rivalry. We win. But there was no mourning in Columbia, Mo., that evening. There was no funeral for the rivalry that has captured the imagination of the Midwest for more than a century. Instead, the brass at Missouri decided a celebration was in order. The powers that gathered to announce the Tigers marriage to the Southeastern Conference, and in a spectacular combination of awkwardness and pandering, everyone involved managed to embarrass themselves on a grand scale. The so-called celebration was delayed several times before it officially began, apropos given Missouris delayed reaction time over these last few weeks. When the party eventually got underway, Missouris chancellor Brady Deaton made the official announcement that the Tigers were joining the SEC. The fight song and
confetti should have started right then, but Deaton continued for several more minutes, soothing everyone with his increasingly cracking voice. Mike Alden and I have been committed to joining the best of Missouri Athletics with the best of our athletics programs from the very beginning, when we began working together, Deaton said. It appears Missouris Department of Redundancy Department will be a great fit in the SEC. He continued. ...with a spirit of inclusivity as we explore each others cultures and diversity of people, Deaton said. Yes, because when I think of embracing diversity, I think of the south. Were not abandoning our past at all. In fact, were expanding upon it, Deaton said. Hmm, maybe Missouri is a great fit in the south after all. Athletic director Mike Alden made his way to the podium, and he spoke of the athletic
departments responsibility to reflect well on the university. Were certainly not the most important thing by any stretch of the imagination, Alden said. We just happen to be like the front porch. Weve very visible. Somewhere, Quin Snyder, Mike Anderson and Frank Haith are all nodding their heads. The SEC representatives didnt exactly represent themselves very well, either. You could win the SEC next year in any one of the 20 sports you compete in, said Bernie Machen, president of the University of Florida. We believe in full integration from day one. That might seem obvious, but its nice to know the conference doesnt have an Alabama always wins clause. The celebration ended with Mike Slive, the commissioner of the SEC, struggling to name-drop local Columbia establishments. He then presented Deaton with an invisible helmet. I wish I was making this all up.
Perhaps the biggest news to come out of the celebration is that Missouri, soon to be the thirdmost western school in the SEC, will be a part of the SEC East. That is perhaps the best illustration of the overlying theme over these last few years: none of this realignment drama makes any sense. At its core, its all about the money and television contracts. But on Sunday, the talking heads were only interested in talking about diversity, academics and Shakespeares Pizza. Missouri is fickle. If the Tigers had their way, they would have had the same celebration one year before for entry into the Big Ten. Instead of clumsily fumbling through a party they threw for themselves, the Tigers should have just released a pithy tweet of their own: Missouri profits in a century-old conference. We win.

After being shut out in Austin, Texas and held to 10 points in Ames, Iowa the Jayhawks have no choice but to hope their offense will pick up its play this week at Memorial Stadium. The offense averages 31.8 points per home game, while only averaging 15.5 points per road game. Still, 31 points or so against Baylor will not cut Miller it.

The Jayhawks will be honoring their 15 seniors Saturday at Memorial Stadium, as they will be playing their last home game in their Kansas career. Kansas, now 2-7 on the year and 0-6 in Big 12 play, will have its hands full trying to take on one of the most dangerous offenses in the country. The Jayhawks, who have given up more yards than any other school in the country, will be playing a Baylor offense that is ranked second in the country in total yards of offense.

Baylor started the season out hot, rolling through its non-conference schedule before hitting the speed bump known as Big 12 play. Baylor is undefeated at home but has yet to win on the road. Kansas will be the last opportunity for them to get a road victory, as their last three games are at home or neutral locations.

Can the offense turn it around? After opening the year as the strength of the team, the offense has been on a heavy decline, scoring just 31 points in its last three games. Against a team like Baylor, the only way to win is to put points on the board and a lot of them. The Jayhawks will have to pick up their play on the offensive side of the ball, or this one will get ugly.
baby jay WIll cheeR IF ...

The team plays the best it has all season. The defense, which has given up 40 or more points in seven out of the Jayhawks nine games this season, must play out of its mind against a potent Baylor offense. The offense has to trade scores with Baylor throughout the game in order to keep the Jayhawks in this one. In order for that to happen, the running game will have to have a big day, enabling sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb to return to his early season form.

Henrickson emphasizes rebounding

Kathleen Gier
kgier@kansan.com
Womens basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson is not shy about criticism of her young team. As the team prepared for the season through a month of practices and two exhibition games, she has found plenty to point out on her own. Henrickson has asked the team to marry the defense, showing more dedication on the opponents side of the court. In the two exhibition games the Jayhawks were out-rebounded 4236 and 39-38 despite winning both contests, and now Henrickson is focusing her efforts on rebounding.
I bark all week and I guess I need to keep on barking I might need a bite because the bark isnt working too well, said Henrickson. Though the Jayhawks showed better pressure on defense, they were not able to capitalize on opponents mistakes. How you can force someone into 26 turnovers and they still get five more shots, Henrickson is just absolutely the definition of just terrible work on the glass, Henrickson said. This Sunday at 2 p.m. the Jayhawks will start the regular season
hosting Western Michigan. The Broncos roster features three players over six feet tall, only one of whom played significant minutes last season. Western Michigan finished the season 9-21 last year led by senior forward Miame Giden, who was named to the preseason all-Mac West team. The Jayhawks enter the game after winning both preseason bouts handily. After another week of practice for the team to focus on rebounding, Henrickson is looking for increased effort on the glass. Senior forward Aishah Sutherland recorded nine points and five rebounds last Sunday against Pittsburg State, but said that the team needs to react faster.
We need to be in position to rebound, looking up where the balls going to hit and having the knowledge to know where the balls going to go after someone shoots the ball, Sutherland said. Its being in the right spot at the right time and being in position to rebound great. Though the Jayhawks shot almost 52 percent for the game and scored 46 points in the paint, they only scored four second-chance points and gave up 16. Because of this, and some well timed blocks in the first moments of the game, Pittsburg State kept the halftime score within six points. Junior forward Carolyn Davis, who finished the game with 12
points, eight rebounds and six blocks, said that the team needed to work on positioning and agility. We werent going and finding people, Davis said. There were a lot of long rebounds because there were a lot of bad bounces. It was going far, and we were all under the basket. Its the little things like that we have to work on. Davis is dealing with a stress fracture in her right foot and is listed day-to-day for the time being. She led the team with 19 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks last season.

The Tigers start just one upperclassmen and look to have experience problems at times this season, as seen in their exhibition defeat.

The exhibitions are past Kansas and the regular season is finally here. Coach Bill Self said that the team is focused on tonights game, but with Tuesdays Madison Square Garden showdown against Kentucky looming, tonights game could be overlooked. Senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior guard Elijah Johnson begin their season after serving a suspension in both exhibition games. Junior forward Thomas Robinson scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in his return against Fort Hays State in Tuesdays 101-52 blowout. If the Jayhawks break the game open early with their full lineup assembled, Self can rest his leaders and prepare for a trip to New York City.
Johnson also returns from suspension and steps right into the shooting guard position after playing point guard in seasons past. He has the awareness to hassle opponents as a defender and the speed and athleticism to thrive on fast breaks. He will also play heavy minutes tonight, but with senior guard Conner Teahan shooting at a torrid pace, Johnson cant play the whole game.
Nwankwo is the lone senior in the Towson starting five. A former walk-on who earned a scholarship before the 2009-2010 season, he led the Colonial Athletic Association in field goal percentage (.565) rebound (9.2) and blocked shots (3.2). He finished the 2009-2010 campaign in the top 10 nationally in blocked shots and is the defensive anchor for the Tigers.

Despite going without a rebound on Tuesday, Self said that Releford played a better game than his 14-point season debut against Pittsburg State. Releford will stay in the starting lineup, but move to a more traditional small forward role. He will be relied on more for rebounds and should continue to contribute as a defensive stopper. He could lose some minutes to Teahan, sophomore forward Justin Wesley and possibly junior forward Kevin Young.
Another true freshman in the starting five, Jones had four points and four rebounds in the exhibition loss to Virginia State. At Sanford School in Hockessin, Del., Jones was named the states best player his senior season after averaging 18.0 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. He led his team to back-to-back Delaware state championships before heading to Towson.

With a starting five consisting of four underclassmen, Nwankwo is the lone senior in the group. First year coach Pat Skerry will look to Nwanko for leadership, and Towsons success or failures this season might depend on just that. A fifth-year senior and former walk-on who missed all of last season, he has all the experience needed from a starting forward. He was named to the Colonial Athletic Associations All-Defensive team two seasons ago and had eight double-doubles. The 6-foot-8, 220-pound native of Hyattsville, Md., finished the 2009-2010 season in the top 50 in the country in rebounds and top 10 in blocks. He needs just 17 rebounds to move into Towsons top-ten of all-time, and hes already third on the schools all-time blocked shots list with 146.

Taylor and Johnson return in a sloppy fashion and surrender turnovers the entire night.
Entering his third season for Towson as a redshirt sophomore, Gumbs started four games last season and appeared in all 30 contests where he averaged 3.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. He missed most of the 2009-2010 campaign after suffering a season-ending knee injury against University of Maryland-Baltimore County. He was also a finalist for the 20072008 Delaware Gatorade Player of the Year.
Robinsons left knee was not an issue in his superb start to the year on Tuesday. He was the best player in the exhibition and the force that Self will continue to run the offense through. Robinsons quick maneuvers to the hoop follow with crowd-pleasing dunks and trips to the free throw line. The return of Taylor and Johnson to the lineup wont change this teams game plan. The ball will touch Robinsons hands on most possessions in the half-court offense.

Kansas 92 Towson 65
Damas is entering his first season at Towson after transferring from Westchester Community College in New York state. He averaged 14.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game at Westchester, earning a spot on the All MidHudson Conference team. He was a McDonalds All-American candidate at Bay Shore High School in Bay Shore, N.Y. He played 25 minutes against Virginia State with two points and four rebounds.
jeFF withey, ceNteR
maRcus damas, FoRwaRd
Withey played just 17 minutes on Tuesday after three quick fouls. He wasnt needed much as Robinson took the game over, but another solid outing could back up his triple-double against Pittsburg State. When Robinson is doubleteamed, Withey will have opportunities to score in the paint. If Self goes with a smaller lineup that includes Taylor, Johnson and Tharpe on the floor together, Withey may take a seat. His main goal should be to stay out of foul trouble.

The morning brew
boxing legend will be missed

O
n Monday, boxing lost one of its legends and all-time great heavyweights, Joe Frazier, to liver cancer. Frazier, one of Philadelphias greatest athletes, didnt let his smaller stature keep him from becoming a champion, an Olympic gold medalist and a 1970s heavyweight Hall of Famer. Fraziers accomplishments include being the undisputed heavyweight champion from 1970 to 1973, and being inducted into both the World and International Boxing Halls of Fame. Frazier was also named by the International Boxing Research Organization as one of the ten greatest heavyweights of all time. Aside from being a world champion, Frazier was also known for his intense and lengthy rivalry with fellow heavyweight Muhammad Ali. The two had three fights two for the heavyweight title. They also traded verbal jabs that turned their friendship into an on-and-off hatred, which carried on until the last couple of years. Their first fight, the Fight of the Century, was one of the most anticipated fights of all time and pitted the two undefeated fighters against each other in their primes. Frazier won the title earlier in the year and Ali was returning to try and reclaim his title after hed been stripped of it for refusing to be inducted into the Army during the Vietnam War. Frazier won the match, but he eventually lost his title to the monstrous grill master, George Foreman. Ali and Frazier met again in 1974. However, this time Ali would get the victory, tying the series. After Frazier had re-established himself as the top contender and Ali had reclaimed the world title from Foreman in the fight Rumble in the Jungle, the two met again. This fight took place in the Philippines

and would come to be known as Thrilla in Manila. During the pre-fight promotion, Ali took many personal shots at Frazier, even going so far as to call Frazier an Uncle Tom, which only intensified the personal animosity between the fighters. Ali would go on to win the fight in 14 rounds after Fraziers corner decided that he couldnt continue because his eyes were swollen shut. Ali would go on to say that the fight was the closest thing to death that he knew. Frazier never regained his title and also couldnt defeat Foreman in their rematch. After attempting a comeback in 1981, Frazier decided to retire and focus on training his son, Marvis, and daughter, Jackie, for their boxing careers. If Frazier had been in the ring today, he might have gone undefeated and would sit higher on the list of all-time greats. However, Frazier was overshadowed in his era by Ali and Foreman, but regardless, he accomplished a remarkable amount in his career, especially considering how light he was for a heavyweight fighter. It took, arguably, the purest boxer ever in Ali and one of the largest, most powerful boxers ever in Foreman to beat Frazier. Frazier should be remembered as a legend and one of the hardest working and most determined athletes ever. He should be seen as an inspiration for people today.

kcarpenter@kansan.com After two rather effortless exhibition wins, Kansas opens the regular season when it takes on Towson tonight in Allen Fieldhouse. Guards Tyshawn Taylor and Elijah Johnson will make their debuts after serving two-game suspensions for violating unspecified team rules. The twogame furloughs havent changed the flow of practice too much though. Except a few days before the first exhibition game, both Taylor and Johnson have practiced with the first team, coach Bill Self said. Taylor brings back the most experience in the backcourt, but Self is looking for him and Johnson to step it up on the defensive end of the floor. Theyre both better players, no question, but I still think theyre both inconsistent, Self said. And defensively, theyre both average compared to what they could be. Taylor said he thinks that kind of talk from Self is largely for motivation, but he said agrees with the sentiment to some extent. I think I have my average defender ways at times, Taylor said. But I think at times I can also be a really good on-the-ball defender. Elijah Johnson, a six-foot-four junior guard, played sparingly last
season behind Taylor, Brady Morningstar and Tyrel Reed. He looks to be the second option behind Taylor this season, and Self confirmed many suspicions that Johnson will start alongside Taylor tonight and have more leeway this season. He hasnt had an opportunity yet, Self said on Johnson. Maybe knowing he can play through mistakes, that may help him a little bit. Johnson played just 13.7 minutes per game last season while averaging 3.7 points per game. As he played behind the three aforementioned upperclassmen a season ago, it was safe to say he had a short leash with his coach. While Self would only confirm that Johnson and Taylor would start against Towson, he didnt rule out to the possibility of playing the duo alongside freshman point guard Naadir Tharpe, who finished the final exhibition game with 19 points, seven assists, and five steals. Weve got five perimeter players basically, said Self. We could play small with those three, or we could play a little bit bigger with Conner or Travis both in the game with a guard. We have some versatility there I think. Whatever the lineup is, Self said he hopes to see more consistency, from an effort and focus standpoint, head-
ing into the season opener as well as next Tuesdays showdown with No. 2 Kentucky. That will be something we talk about with this team, I guarantee, all year long, Self noted. We have a tendency maybe to space out every now and then, and Id like that to be reduced some. The core of the team outside of Taylor and junior forward Thomas Robinson is inexperienced, no doubt, and the non-conference schedule doesnt do the Jayhawks many favors. After facing No. 2 Kentucky, they could potentially face No. 20 UCLA and No. 6 Duke later this month in the Maui Invitational. The upcoming games arent totally distracting Taylor from the season opener, however. Im just excited about my first game, Taylor said. Kentuckys definitely what Ive been thinking about a lot, but Ive been thinking about my first game a lot, too. Speaking of Kentucky, Self didnt deny that the heavyweight matchup in Madison Square Garden is on peoples minds. Were trying to stay focused, he said. Ive said a few things, but not at the expense of getting ready for Friday. Edited by Lindsey Deiter

The Red Raiders have fallen hard since upsetting then third ranked Oklahoma, being outscored in their last two games 93-27. The Red Raiders get their second shot at taking down a BCS hopeful when they host Oklahoma State and the nations second ranked scoring offense. A win for the Red Raiders make them bowl eligible, while the Cowboys will try to stay on the fast track for the BCS championship game.

11 a.m. SatuRday, noV. 12 The Longhorns look to stretch their winning streak to three as they go up to Columbia, Mo., to take on the struggling Tigers. This matchup should be run-heavy; the Longhorns rank 11th in the nation and the Tigers rank 12th. The Longhorns are already bowl eligible, while the Tigers will need to win two of their last three games to become eligible. This will be the rare time this season that Tiger quarterback James franklin enters the season as the more acclaimed passer; his Longhorn counterpart, David Ash, is a run-first quarterback making the fourth start of his career. The Wildcats and the Aggies are both coming off two consecutive losses, the difference is the Aggies are still trying to become bowl eligible while the Wildcats have put themselves in position to contend for a top bowl game. Wildcat quarterback Collin Klein will try and keep the Aggie offense off the field by leading long sustained drives that kill the clock. When he has done that, the Wildcats have found success on the year, and it keeps their defense rested to counter the Aggie attack.

Cross Country
teams prepare for regionals, look to qualify for nationals

Max Goodwin
mgoodwin@kansan.com Members of the womens cross country team think they havent run a race all season that reveals their collective ability. The Jayhawks will have their last chance to do so at the NCAA Midwest Regional meet on Saturday. We havent put it all together yet, senior Rebeka Stowe said. We have a good team and we have a lot of ability. We have one more shot at getting it. At this point its do or die. Stowe, the senior leader of the team, talks about the regional meet with a sense of urgency. If the womens team finishes in the top two of the team standings at the meet, the Jayhawks will automatically qualify for the national meet on Nov. 21. What we need to do is get in there and take care of business and be one of the top two teams so that were definitely there, Stowe said. The Jayhawks insist pressure wont be a factor for the team, despite the possibility that Saturday might be the teams last race of the season. We know we can make it to nationals, junior Tessa Turcotte said. The pressure is not there, its just about getting the job done. Coach Stanley Redwine has urged runners to run in a pack all season. Redwine also told the Jayhawks to run with the confidence that they will be successful. Its time for us to run our best race out there and run like theres no tomorrow. assistant coach Michael Whittlesey said. Theres no question we need our great leadership from our captains this weekend. Those captains are Stowe and senior Kara Windisch. The three runners after them Turcotte, Cori Christensen and Kyra Kilwein will serve as the biggest influences in determining where the Jayhawks finish. The mens team faces the same do or die situation in the regional meet. We dont want this to be our last race, sophomore Josh Munsch said. The Jayhawks ran well in Wisconsin at the Adidas Invitational, but theyve had disappointing races as well, such the Big 12 championship meet. The team goes into Saturday focusing on two teams in the regional: Iowa State and Tulsa. Iowa State finished ahead of Kansas at the Big 12 Championships, but Kansas finished higher at the Adidas Invitational. Tulsa is a team that Kansas has not yet faced but based on statistics, the Jayhawks think Tulsa is a team they need to beat in their quest to reach nationals. We cant let anything shock us into not running together, senior Austin Bussing said. Watching film of the Big 12 championship meet showed Bussing and the rest of the team that, with a bit more effort, they could have closed the gaps between the teams runners. Thats what the Jayhawks will try to do this time around. Were going to be counting on these young guys for the next two or three years, Whittlesey said. They need to gain a lot of experience from the meet this year, and hopefully crack into our top five and make an impact. Edited by Jayson Jenks
QuidditCh
Team travels to New York for World Cup

HannaH wise
hwise@kansan.com Today, the quidditch team travels to New York City. Tomorrow, the teams first International Quidditch Association World Cup begins. Twenty Kansas quidditch members are going to take on the other 86 World Cup caliber teams Saturday and Sunday. Last night, the quidditch team met for the last time before heading to the airport. They discussed the weekends schedule and final strategies. The team was bubbling with excitement as they sat in captain Nicole Denneys apartment. This is on a completely different scale, said beater Kristine Hoang, People know who we are. They will see our jerseys. They will say, Thats Kansas. We need to watch out for them. The team formed in the fall of 2010 with 13 members. Since then, the original members have recruited and they are now 50 members strong. These are not simply Harry Potter lovers running around on a field. They are athletes. The team has spent the last several weeks practicing and conditioning. Running, said chaser Ronell Sharp, . Ive been doing my own personal small work outs working on explosion and changing direction. The extra practice is necessary. The teams at the World Cup have more playing experience than the Kansas team. The tournament is also the first chance for Kansas to face many East Coast schools, including reigning World Cup champion Middlebury College from Vermont. Middlebury was the birth place of real life quidditch. In the documentary about the 2010 World Cup Brooms Up, an entire section is devoted to discussing Middlebury and how they have been unbeatable. One commentor explains how everyone at Middlebury plays quidditch and the team that represents Middlebury at the World Cup each year is the best team on campus. We arent as worried about them as we are about Louisiana State, Kansas captain Doug Whiston said. We think they are the hands-down favorite to win this tournament. Whiston explained that LSU is bringing a level of size and aggression that Kansas has not seen before. They are physically capable, said Hoang. They are kind of intimidating in that factor. Before Kansas will have a chance at Middlebury or LSU, the teams will have to play through individual pools on Saturday. Kansas was placed in Pool G along with the No. 26 University of Utah, No. 41 Hofstra University from Long Island, N.Y., No. 49 University of Vermont and No. 65 Ringling College from Sarasota, Fla. We think we were very lucky to get the pool that we did, Whiston said. Our toughest matchup is Utah. They are a little less known, but from what weve seen, they dont score very
Freshman beater (defender), Kate Cooley looks at the schedule for the international Quidditch Association World Cup nov. 13-14. much. There have been calls for the Kansas quidditch team to prove themselves at the World Cup because they have been a relatively unknown team until winning the Midwest Cup, Oct. 9 in Fishers, Ind. After the tournament the team was ranked No. 1 in the world, above Middlebury. The team has since dropped to No. 2, below Middlebury and above LSU. Kansas strength is its speed. Throughout the Midwest Cup the chasers, the offensive players, were able to run past the beaters, the defenders, and catch the keeper, the goalie, off-guard. On the other hand, quidditch rules require that two girls be on the field at all times. Kansas is taking six girls. The team is relying on rapid-rotations

Nebraska @ Penn State
11 a.m. CT
35-14, Nebraska
Nebraska will come back after its 25-28 loss to Northwestern. after this weeks Penn State scandal it is unlikely the team will be back together and focused by game time. Nebraska coach Ron brown will keep his team mentally locked-in despite the extra attention on the game.
41-17, Nebraska
With the scandal just coming out for Penn State, Nebraska is going to unleash on them. Interim coach tom bradley is not ready to lead the team to a win over a high caliber team like Nebraska.
42-17, Nebraska
Nebraska roughs up an unfocused Penn State team that looks lost after the removal of former Penn State icon Joe Paterno. Husker quarterback tyler Martinez has the game of his season as the Huskers will have the Nittany lion fans leaving Happy Valley frowning.
28-17, Nebraska
Its hard to imagine the Penn State players being able to focus or prepare at all for Nebraska this week. Nebraska needs to win after a bad loss to Northwestern. the combination of the two puts Nebraska on top.
TCU @ Boise State
2:30 p.m. CT
28-25, boise State

boise St. will continue its undefeated run despite its leading rusher, senior running back Doug Martin, being listed as day-today. the tCU defense will be ready to take advantage of the changes in personnel on the boise State side. the game will come down to how prepared Martins replacement, senior D.J. Harper, is to take on the Horned Frog defense.
38-24, boise State

Kellen Moore has a completion percentage of 74.1 which is second in the nation and the passing game will just be too much for tCU to defend.
35-20, boise State

In the only matchup between these two teams that will ever take place in the Mountain West Conference, the blue turf will get to the Horned Frogs. bronco quarterback Kellen Moore will have a field day with the tCU defense. the win is more important to the broncos who are trying to make a bCS bowl game, which only a perfect record will allow them to do.
41-28, boise State

the broncos playing on their home turf will be too much for the Horned Frogs to handle. boise States perfect record will remain untouched.
LIBERTY HALL
Auburn @ Georgia
2:30 p.m. CT
42-28, Georgia
the Souths biggest rivalry will see Georgia come out on top. Georgias freshman running back, Isaiah Crowell is back after a one game suspension for breaking team rules. the bulldogs did not suffer while he was gone. last week, Georgia defeated New Mexico 63-16. the pressure will be on auburn to win, but they have not walked away with a victory in athens since 2005.
24-17, Georgia
It will be a close one in athens, Ga., and Georgia will come out on top with the help of home field and getting Isaiah Crowell back from the one game suspension will help.
27-20, Georgia
after losing its first two games to ranked teams, Georgia has won seven straight. auburn will keep it close, but the bulldogs have the better defense, and as last weeks lSU-alabama matchup showed, defense is the key to winning in the SEC.
31-17, Georgia
the bulldogs offense, led by quarterback aaron Murray, will overmatch an overrated auburn team. auburn running back Michael Dyer is dynamic, but he wont be able to do enough, as auburn wont be able to put up enough points to bring down the bulldogs.
moe.
Oregon @ Stanford
7 p.m. CT
32-28, Stanford
the game will determine the Pac-12 North champion. Stanfords senior receiver Chris owes will not play after suffering a concussion last week. Stanford is looking to come back after last years 52-31 loss to the Ducks in oregon. Despite the injury, No. 4 Stanford has the motivation to win at home Saturday.
41-34 Stanford
the game in Stanford could be the best game this weekend. It is going to take an overtime to decide this one with andrew luck having four touchdowns.
31-28, Stanford
the marquee matchup that the Pac-12 has been waiting for all year finally arrives. Stanford quarterback andrew luck will prove on the field why he will be the No. 1 overall pick as he leads Stanford on a last minute touchdown drive to clinch the victory and all but assure his team a spot in the Pac-12 championship game.
48-38, oregon
Quarterback andrew lucks Cardinals will suffer their first lost of the season under oregon running back laMichael James lead. In the end, oregons offense out-duels Stanford in a high scoring game that will surely be entertaining.
