Three KU students released one-
minute prequel shorts of a new car-
toon series, called Zook Mayhem
and the Bandits, on the Internet
Monday after spending the past
seven months working to create
and animate it.
Nolan T. Jones, Pittsburg senior,
who originally thought of the idea
for the cartoon, said the stand-
alone funny episodes, which are
available to view on www.zookmay-
hem.com, were designed to give
viewers a preview of what the char-
acters will look and act like and
keep them interested until the first
episode is released in October.
After the first episode premieres,
new episodes will be launched
directly to the Internet in full-
length installments about once a
month. Jones said a full 13-episode
season and eventually a DVD are
part of his plan. He has outlines
for a few seasons and a movie, but
no definite plans for how far the
project will go.
Jones said he thought of the idea
for the series when he was in eighth
grade and it has evolved through
several different versions, includ-
ing a project for film class and an
animated talk show that he was
unsatisfied with.
It was horrible, so I found some-
thing that managed to be more true
and absurd all at once, Jones said.
The cartoon really took off when
Jones involved his friends, Richard
Zayas, Smithville, Mo., junior; and
Riley Dutton, Arma sophomore.
The two agreed to help Jones with
the project if he could prove to
them that it was funny. They were
convinced that it was when they
read a five-page script Jones wrote
last winter.
Twenty students helped Jones and
his friends with the animation of the
cartoon, which is still underway.
Dutton estimated that it takes
five to 10 hours to make one minute
of animation. The process involves
recording the voices of the char-
acters, drawing the characters and
props for the episodes by hand,
scanning them into a computer,
animating the episode and editing
video. That estimate doesnt include
time spent writing scripts and mak-
ing other preparations.
Jones received a $1,000 under-
graduate research award from the
University honors program, given to
encourage research by undergradu-
ate students, to support his work.
The crew is relying on word of
mouth to spread news about their
project and using Google Analytics
to track how many people visit their
Web site. Jones said that the Web site
had received about 4,000 page-views
as of Monday.

Christina Blandon had planned
on going out of town for her birth-
day. But because of a new law requir-
ing people to renew their licenses
on their 21st birthdays, Blandon,
Leawood junior, will have to stay
home and go to the Department of
Motor Vehicles instead.
A lot of people want to go out of
town on their 21st birthday, which
I was planning on doing, but now I
guess I wont, Blandon said.
According to the law, which went
into effect July 1, a persons license
expires on his 21st birthday and
will cease to be acceptable as legal
identification after that day. Twenty-
year-olds are not able to renew their
licenses before their 21st birthdays.
This means that a person must renew
his drivers license on his birthday in
order for it to remain valid.
The law is an extension of the
policy of issuing a vertical license to
people younger than 21 and a hori-
zontal license to everybody else.
Bonnie Brown, administrative
specialist at the division of vehicles,
said the value of having all 21-year-
olds have horizontal licenses was
worth the inconvenience to stu-
dents.
For law enforcement purposes,
yes, it is important, Brown said.
You dont want to carry the wrong
permit because the reason that was
implemented in the first place was
so they could look at it visually and
determine if somebody is underage
without having to read the birth
date.
Brown said those who turned 21
before the policy was implemented
and still use a vertical license should
switch to the horizontal license as
soon as possible. The DMV only
charges $4 for the photo fee.
The only exceptions to the policy
are for people who turn 21 on a day
when the DMV is closed. Brown said
these people would be permitted to
renew their license on the next pos-
sible day. She said people who are
out of town on their birthdays would
be evaluated on an individual basis.
Though students might not like
the policy, bar owners think it is a
step in the right direction to curb
underage drinking.
I suggested that three years ago,

The University of Missouri
has something that the
University of Kansas doesnt.
Journalism students there
can download lectures direct-
ly to their iPods and listen to
them whenever they need to.
The University of California at
Berkeley has a similar program,
as do numerous other universi-
ties.
The University of Kansas
doesnt, though at least not
yet.
Rob Walch, the guru behind
www.podcast411.com, said its
easy to record a lecture and post
it online for students. A podcast
is an audio recording that is
saved to a computer and acces-
sible through an Internet con-
nection. It doesnt take an iPod,
either anyone with a com-
puter can listen to a podcast.
Many lecture halls are
equipped already to record
audio, Walch said. Its just a
matter of the professor wanting
to have the lecture available to
students.
Walch, whose podcasting
tutorials are referenced by sev-
eral universities, said making a
podcast from a lecture basically
only takes two files: a simple
recording of the lecture into an
MP3 audio file, and then an RSS
feed that directs Web surfers to
the correct spot to download
the MP3 file.
Walch said professors tended
to worry that students would
become disengaged from class
if they could just download the
days lecture and slide shows
online. But with so much infor-
mation available whenever
a student needs it, theres no
excuse for missing informa-
tion.
Walch will hold a podcasting
tutorial at 7 tonight at Signs of
Life, 722 Massachusetts St.
Bill Myers, director of
Information Services and
Libraries, agreed that the tech-
nology was already in place. A
professor might need to plug in
a microphone, but thats about
it.
Myers said the University
doesnt currently have a plan
to promote podcasting because
its current focus is expanding
wireless Internet access.
Pradeep Natarajan, gradu-
ate teaching assistant, said two
electrical engineering classes at
the School of Engineering used
online lectures and tests. He
said it was a good idea for high-
er-level classes where learning
takes place in a non-classroom
setting.
However, students will tend
to look for the information
they need for a quiz and skip
through the rest of the lecture,
Natarajan said.
Susan Zvacek, director of
instructional development and
support, said podcasting could
become a staple of KU classes
if faculty wanted it to be. Right
now, most instructors dont
seem to be interested, she said.
The question becomes
how valuable it is to just lis-
ten to someone talk, Zvacek
said. The real key is to engage
students in thinking and doing
things with the content.
Kevin Wiedenmann, Olathe
senior, said any additional
information was a plus, espe-
cially while studying at night
when a professor wasnt avail-
able.
Wiedenmann, who stud-
ies aerospace engineering, said
the level of math required in
a couple of his classes was so
high that even a few extra notes
from an instructor became key.
A recorded lecture would be
even better.
When youre a senior, you
realize that skipping class just
wastes your time and money,
Wiedenmann said.

Cashier at Mrs. Es
By Josh Landau
Rebecca Annis should be the
favorite person of students living on
Daisy Hill, but most likely, they walk
past her without much notice. Annis
is a cashier at Mrs. Es cafeteria on
Daisy Hill, and without her, students
would find it hard to eat.
Annis has been working at the
University of Kansas since 2000,
when a back injury forced her to
move from her original job as a fac-
tory worker. She originally worked
at GSP-Corbin Hall until she trans-
ferred to her current position. Her
official position is cashier and office
assistant, but Annis has also had
duties ranging from vacuuming
seating sections to setting up for
banquets. Working 10-hour shifts
with students would be too much for
some, but Annis likes it.
I get along with almost all the
students, Annis said. My kids have
moved out, so I just like to talk, talk,
talk.
Annis has enjoyed her time work-
ing with the students and watching
them grow up from year to year.
Many stop to tell her about their day
or how their classes are going.
Sometimes its hard; you get close
to some students, Annis said.
Working in a college cafeteria
has its moments, and Anniss most
memorable moment at work hap-
pened last semester when a food
fight broke out in the cafeteria.
It took the students 2 minutes to
completely destroy sections four, six,
seven and eight. There was debris
everywhere, Annis said.
Annis plans to work at the
University for many more years, and
she has only one thing left to do.
I am a big KU basketball fan,
Annis said. I havent been able to go
to a basketball game yet.

Bernard A. Bud Hirsch, 61,
associate professor of English, died
Sunday in his Lawrence home.
Hirsch had been diagnosed with
brain cancer last spring.
At the University of Kansas, he
taught classes in British romantic lit-
erature and Native American litera-
ture and was regarded as an expert on
Native American culture.
In terms of Dr. Hirschs national
impact on Native studies, his scholar-
ship was strong and he approached
the studies as a human being, not an
objective observer, said Gwen Griffin,
professor of English at Minnesota
State University and the executive
director of the Native American
Literature Symposium.
Hirsch was a supporter and a pre-
senter who was always generous with
his time and advice, Griffin said.
She said Hirsch was one of her clos-
est friends and strongest allies who
was always in her corner telling her
that she could do
anything.
Hirsch was
the under-
graduate pro-
gram director
for the English
De p a r t me n t
from 1996 until
his death. He was
also a member of
the Universitys
I n d i g e n o u s
Nations Studies Task Force.
Michael Yellow Bird, associate pro-
fessor for the Center of Indigenous
Nations Studies, said that Hirsch
was an expert in the field and was
knowledgeable, sincere and greatly
respected by everyone.
As an adviser, he received the
first Faculty Adviser Award from the
University in 2003 and an Outstanding
Advising Certificate of Merit from
the National Academic Advising
Association in 2004. Most recently he
was presented with the Crystal Eagle
Award by the Universitys Center of
Indigenous Nations Studies for his
contributions to American Indian
cultural studies as well as the W.T.
Kemper Award for teaching excel-
lence.
He was a good mentor and friend
to students, Yellow Bird said.
He was preceded in death by his
wife, Elaine Lindberg, in May 1996.
He is survived by his mother, Mollie
Bernover, Chicago; a brother, Arnold
Hirsch, New Orleans; a step-brother,
Neil Bernover, Chicago; a grand-
daughter, and four nephews.
The family suggested memo-
rial contributions be made to the
University of Kansas Center for
Indigenous Nations Studies or the
American Cancer Society.
A memorial service will
be announced at a later date.
Arrangements are being handled by
Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home.

Brief profles of candidates put on Facebook site
By Erin castanEda
Students will now be able to
add more than just peers to their
friends list on the social net-
working Web site facebook.com.
On Sept. 1, facebook.com posted short
profiles of each politician running for
congressional seats and state gover-
norships this November. Students can
find candidates and campaign issues
they support by selecting the elec-
tion tab of the Edit Profile page.
Brandee Barker, facebook.com
representative, said the Democratic
National Committee and the
Republican National Committee
were contacted to retrieve candi-
dates names, political affiliations
and the positions they sought. It is
up to the individual campaigns to
extend a profile beyond office, state,
district and party.
Rodger Woods, communications
director for Jim Barnetts governor
campaign didnt hear from anyone
about the profile space on facebook.
com, but he knows of a Jim Barnett
and Susan Wagle group on the site.
He said that sites and e-mail listservs
are crucial for campaigns.
If a candidate doesnt have a Web
site now, its almost like they arent a
candidate, he said.
Amy Brundage, spokeswoman for
Sen. John Kerrys campaign, said
Facebook and other networking sites
are a way for him to keep in touch
with old friends and people he met
across the country.
This month Kerry had a meeting
and a tour at the Facebook offices
in California. Brundage said he was
interested in the growth of these new
technologies.
Stephanie Ferguson, Wichita
junior and member of the I voted
for George W. Bush group, said she
thinks its a great idea for politicians
to use profiles on Facebook and
MySpace.
So many students use these Web
sites, Ferguson said. Their pro-
files would be seen by thousands
of people daily. It would be a great
asset to the politicians to help inform
students of their platforms.
There are currently 1,600 can-
didate profiles posted on the site.
Sixteen of those are Kansan candi-
dates. Of the three Kansas campaign
offices contacted, none had been
made aware of the available profile
space on facebook.com.
Although the candidates are list-
ed without expanded profiles, stu-
dents can find candidates by name,
district and state and send them
messages. Students can also join or
create groups about certain cam-
paign issues. Using the election tab,
people can edit their profiles to list
the candidates they support.
Barker said facebook.com wanted
to give the youth a voice and encour-
age voter turnout in November. She
said nine million young adults, all
potential voters, used the site.
Certainly the demographics of
this site is 18- to 24-year-olds, she
said. It is a good target for candi-
dates.
There are more than 500 political
groups listed on facebook.com rang-
ing from Jon Stewart for President
to Michael Moore is Fat. The reac-
tion to politicians using facebook.
com is as varied as the political
groups on the site.
Adam Wisnieski, Kansas City,
Mo., senior, said he didnt think voter
turnout among youth would increase
with political presence on the site.
It would be my hope that the
addition of the political support sec-
tion on facebook.com would at least
spur some discussion among friends
and peers about the political realm,
he said.
Further, Wisnieski said because
personal details are included on
peoples profiles, he couldnt see any
harm in adding political support.
Jami Jeffrey, Shawnee senior, finds
political presence in advertising or
profiles a turnoff.
They aim to convince young vot-
ers knee-high in their cyber social life
addictions of their political tenden-
cies, Jeffrey said. However, Im not
sure young voters go looking for their
political information on MySpace or
Facebook; rather, it seems there are
more fitting Web sites to browse.

Prevention week
comes to Lawrence
By marK viErthaLEr
National Suicide Prevention
Week, Sept. 10 through 16, is com-
ing to Lawrence, drawing atten-
tion to the second leading cause
of death in 15- to 24-year-olds in
Kansas.
The stigma associated with
mental illness and with suicide dis-
courages people from getting help,
Mayor Mike Amyx said, reading
from the official proclamation that
said Lawrence will host the event.
According to the Suicide
Prevention Resource Center Web
site, from 1999 through 2002, sui-
cide was the 11th leading cause
of death for Kansas residents. An
average of 316 residents die by
suicide in a given year.
Marcia Epstein, director of
Headquarters Counseling Center,
said Suicide Prevention Week is a
nationally observed week that aims
to raise awareness of the magnitude
of suicide. A large amount of focus
is given to students, she said.
Headquarters is a 24-hour, local
suicide prevention hot line and
center.
Activities during the week will
include the start of a training pro-
gram for Headquarters volunteers,
a proclamation from the county
commission Sept. 13, training for
Lawrence Public School employees
on suicide prevention, finishing on
Saturday, Sept. 16 with an informa-
tion booth in front of U.S. Bank,
900 Massachusetts St.
The biggest problem with treat-
ing suicide, she said, is the reluc-
tance to talk about getting help.
The tendency is to look at each
case as a faceless number. This is
dangerous, she said.
Each one is a real person,
Epstein said. Its a loved one. Its
somebodys relative. Its somebodys
friend.
The counseling center has
worked with two families of
University of Kansas students in
the last year alone, she said.
Epstein said for the past 20 years,
one in 10 students have made a
suicide attempt before graduating
high school.
The male suicide rate in Kansas
is five times that of females; 83 per-
cent of suicides are male. White/
Non-Hispanics make up 93 percent
of suicides. The average medical
cost per case is $4,016, according
to the Suicide Prevention Center
Web site.
The University Counseling
and Psychological Services, which
offers counseling for students and
faculty members with any psycho-
logical concerns, is still discuss-
ing joining in the weeks activities.
John Wade, psychologist at CAPS,
said the service was looking at
participating in a national suicide
awareness day at the beginning of
October.

The AssociATeD Press
DEARBORN, Mich. Bill Ford,
who struggled for five years to steer
Ford Motor Co. toward financial
stability, has stepped down as chief
executive of the company founded
by his great grandfather and is being
replaced by top University of Kansas
graduate and Boeing executive Alan
Mulally.
Ford will remain as executive
chairman, the company said Tuesday
in a surprise announcement.
The change comes more than
seven months into a restructuring,
which is the second under Bill Fords
watch and has so far failed to revive
the nations No. 2 automaker. Under
the first plan, Ford closed five plants
and cut 35,000 jobs, but its North
American operations failed to turn
around. The latest plan, announced
in January, would cut up to 30,000
jobs and close 14 facilities by 2012.
Bill Ford said it was time for
someone with experience in turning
around a troubled company, tacitly
acknowledging his own efforts were
falling short.
Mulally, 61, was widely praised
for being a key architect of the
resurgence of Boeings commer-
cial airplanes unit during the past
couple of years. He was a top can-
didate for the Boeing CEO job last
year, but the company went outside
instead to select aerospace veteran
Jim McNerney, then the 3M Co.
chief executive.
Mulally holds bachelors of sci-
ence and masters of science degrees
in aeronautical and astronautical
engineering from KU.
Bill Ford said he began talking
with Mulally in July, which sug-
gested the change was something he
had some time to plan instead of it
being abruptly forced on him. Ford
is the great-grandson of company
founder Henry Ford, and his family
still owns a 40 percent voting stake
in the company. Any leadership
plan would require its assent.
Ford, 49, has served as CEO since
October 2001 and been chairman
since 1999. He owns more than 10
million shares that have a market
value of more than $70 million.
We needed somebody who had
extensive turnaround experience,
who was a leader and a real team
builder, Bill Ford said during an
afternoon news conference.
He called Mulally ideally suited
for the job.
He understands how tough a
turnaround can be before the results
start to flow, and the necessity of
keeping the team together and in
focus, Ford said.
Mulally, who has spent 37 years
at Boeing, said he looked forward to
applying lessons learned at Boeing
to Ford.
Mulally said that although hes
not an auto person, Im certainly a
product designer and I care deeply
about having a viable business, he
said.
He said that some people believe
the U.S. cant compete with the rest
of the world in manufacturing, add-
ing, I personally think we abso-
lutely can if we pull together.
Dearborn-based Ford, which lost
$1.4 billion in the first half of 2006,
pledged in July to speed up the
restructuring. At the time, Bill Ford
said the company had been caught
off guard by the speed of the con-
sumer shift away from pickups and
SUVs to more fuel-efficient vehicles
a shift that has largely benefited
Asian automakers at the expense of
domestic companies.
Bruce Clark, lead auto analyst
at Moodys Investors Service, said
Mulally faces a daunting task in
attempting to reshape Fords operat-
ing model as demand shifts rapidly
away from trucks.
However, he comes to the com-
pany with a strong background in
engineering, manufacturing and
product development, Clark said in
a statement. We think that this will
be a valuable skill set as he fills the
CEO position at Ford.
It just shows you how tough
things have gotten at Ford, said
George Magliano, an auto analyst at
consulting company Global Insight.
He said the biggest task facing Ford
is to reshape its product strategy
to cope with high gas prices and
said Mulally should bring in a new
product guru.
I think the feeling was they
needed to show the financial com-
munity and the rest of the industry
that theyre ready to make sweeping
changes, Magliano said.
Bill Ford said he would continue
to be highly involved in the com-
pany as executive chairman.
Im not going anywhere, Ford
said. I was born with the Ford
Motor Company and Ill die with
the Ford Motor Company.

MEXICO CITY Felipe
Calderon was declared president-
elect Tuesday after two months of
uncertainty, but his ability to rule
effectively remained in doubt with
rival Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador
vowing to lead a parallel leftist gov-
ernment from the streets.
The unanimous decision by the
Federal Electoral Tribunal rejected
allegations of systematic fraud and
awarded Calderon the presidency by
233,831 votes out of 41.6 million cast
in the July 2 elections a margin of
0.56 percent. The ruling cannot be
appealed.
Calderon now must win over
millions of Mexicans angry that
President Vicente Fox, who is from
Calderons party, didnt make good
on promises of sweeping change
and fend off thousands of radi-
calized leftists who say they will
stop at nothing to undermine his
presidency.
Calderon invited opposition
parties, including Lopez Obradors
Democratic Revolution, to begin
talks to try to end the two-month-
long electoral standoff.
We can have different opinions,
but we arent enemies, he said.
Lopez Obrador, whose support
is dwindling but becoming more
radical, said he will not recognize the
new government.
Lopez Obrador has vowed to block
Calderon from taking power Dec. 1.
Protesters outside the tribunal wept
as the decision was announced and
set off firecrackers that shook the
building.
The decision by the seven judges
who have split their votes in
disputes about other elections
also found that Fox endangered the
election by making statements that
favored Calderon, and that business
leaders broke the law by paying for
ads against Lopez Obrador, who
promised to govern on behalf of
the poor.
But the problems werent serious
enough to annul the results, they
said.
There are no perfect elections,
Judge Alfonsina Berta Navarro
Hidalgo said.
Fox, in a televised speech, defend-
ed his actions, saying they were
always within the law. He also con-
gratulated Calderon and called for a
national dialogue.
Now, more than ever, is the
time for unity, Fox said. Fox and
Calderon are expected to meet on
Wednesday.
The court rejected most of Lopez
Obradors allegations, including his
claim that an ad campaign compar-
ing him to Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez unfairly swayed vot-
ers. The court also dismissed Lopez
Obradors claim of subliminal
messages in television ads by pro-
Calderon businesses.
The courts president, Leonel
Castillo, called on Mexicans to unite
and mend the deep divisions the
election revealed.
I hope we conclude this elec-
toral process leaving confrontation
behind, he said.
Markets, which had expected
Tuesdays ruling, were unchanged.
World leaders, including Japans
prime minister and several Central
American presidents, congratulated
Calderon on his victory.
Tuesdays ruling came two
months, three days, and tens of
thousands of pages of legal chal-
lenges after voters cast their ballots.
In comparison, the U.S. presidential
election of 2000 remained in dispute
for only 35 days.
The decision was unlikely to
end the demonstrations that have
crippled Mexico Citys center or to
heal the nations growing political
divide.
Lopez Obrador has called on his
followers to remain peaceful. His
movement has become increasingly
radicalized since the election, and
polls indicate he lost support after
lawmakers from his party blocked
Foxs last state-of-the-nation address
on Friday.

ASSocIAtED PrESS
BEERWAH, Australia
Steve Irwin pulled a poisonous
stingray barb from his chest in
his dying moments, his long-
time manager said Tuesday, after
watching videotape of the attack
that killed the popular Croco-
dile Hunter.
Irwins body was returned
home to Beerwah, a hamlet in
southeastern Queensland where
he lived with his wife and two
young children. Irwin turned a
modest reptile park opened by
his parents into Australia Zoo, a
wildlife reserve that has become
an international tourist attrac-
tion.
Hundreds placed bouquets
and handwritten notes at an ad
hoc shrine to the popular 44-
year-old naturalist outside the
park.
State police Superinten-
dent Michael Keating said Ir-
win was interacting with the
stingray when it ficked its tail
and speared his chest with the
bone-hard serrated spine it bore
the normally placid animals
main defense mechanism.
There is no evidence Mr.
Irwin was threatening or in-
timidating the stingray, Keat-
ing said, addressing speculation
that a man who became famous
by leaping on crocodiles and
snatching up snakes must have
been too close for the animals
comfort.
Australias leaders interrupted
Parliaments normal business to
eulogize Irwin.
Friend and Oscar-winner
Russell Crowe said from New
York, He was and remains the
ultimate wildlife warrior.
The U.S. Embassy issued a
statement saying Irwin was an
unoffcial Australian ambassa-
dor to the United States.
Meanwhile, Animal Planet
said it had given no thought to
taking The Crocodile Hunter
off the air, said Maureen Smith,
the networks executive vice
president.
Irwin was flming a new se-
ries, Oceans Deadliest Preda-
tors, for Animal Planet. He and
his crew were trying to flm tiger
sharks, but the water was too
muddy so he decided to do a
segment on sting rays, instead.
Smith said she wasnt aware
whether enough flming had
been done on Oceans Dead-
liest Predators for anything to
make it on the air.

BEIRUT, Lebanon Tur-
key on Tuesday became the
frst Muslim country with
diplomatic ties to Israel to
pledge troops to an expand-
ing international peacekeep-
ing force that will monitor a
fragile cease-fre between Is-
rael and Hezbollah.
Hundreds of Lebanese
army troops rolled into
southern villages after Is-
raeli soldiers withdrew from
fve of them, slow but steady
steps toward implementing
a U.N.-brokered peace plan
agreed last month.
U.N. chief Kof Annan
said he could get some posi-
tive news within two days on
a deal to convince Israel to
lift its blockade of Lebanon.
Ruling party lawmakers in
Turkey voted in favor of the
deployment of peacekeep-
ing troops despite objections
from opposition parties and
street protests by thousands.
While many Turks regard
the Lebanon peacekeeping
mission as a dangerous ven-
ture, Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogans party in-
sisted on contributing. He ar-
gued it would raise Turkeys
profle on the international
stage. Turkey, which has dip-
lomatic relations with Israel,
is aspiring to join the Euro-
pean Union.

Citys total ban of skateboards
on campus needs revision
OUR VIEW
COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
FREE FOR ALL
call 864-0500
We support the efforts of
the students who want to make
longboarding legal on campus,
but we would go further: Allow
skateboarding and longboarding
with some limitations.
The city of Lawrence has pro-
hibited skateboarding in some
public areas since August 1987,
with the most recent revision
of the ordinance being made in
July 1996. At the University of
Kansas, the restricted area spans
from West Campus Road to 13th
Street and 1,000 feet from either
side of Jayhawk Boulevard.
The interests of both skate-
boarders and people who use the
sidewalks must be weighed and a
compromise reached.
Many students rely on skate-
boards for transportation and
skateboarding generally poses
no more of a threat than does
driving an automobile or riding
a bicycle or motorcycle.
However, some skateboarders
may lack the same control driv-
ers and bicyclists have and oth-
ers might damage property by
grinding ledges and handrails.
We suggest that the city com-
missioners consider the policy
of the University of Colorado at
Boulder for guidance.
The university allows skate-
boarding on campus, but the
skateboards wheels must not
leave the pavement while the
rider skates. This rule prevents
airborne skateboards from injur-
ing pedestrians and damaging
property. Its also not allowed on
certain campus sidewalks during
times of heavy pedestrian traffic.
Lt. Tim McGraw of the
University of Colorado Police
Department says that he hasnt
seen an increase in skateboard-
related injuries since the policy
was implemented.
Riding a skateboard pro-
ficiently takes time and prac-
tice, so unskilled skateboarders
should stay off their boards if
they think they might pose a
danger to themselves or others.
If Lawrence wants to accom-
modate all of its citizens, the city
should rework its unfair blanket
ban on skateboarding on cam-
pus.

Heroes live on the sixth floor of
the Kansas Union.
Immortalized in metal and
print, the names and faces of the
Universitys World War I veterans
stare from opposing walls at those
who take the stairs to the top floor
of the Union.
Just down the hall from those
man-sized memorials to an 80-year-
old war lives Superman.
He has a small home: two framed
comic book pages hang just past the
elevators.
Except hes not really the hero
here. He stands in for the men and
women of United Flight 93, whose
sacrifice prevented further tragedy
on Sept. 11.
It is an unexpected and poi-
gnantly appropriate memorial to
events that still shape our lives.
Jason Arnett, manager of The
Underground, drew the comics
before the first anniversary of the
terrorist attacks.
Theyre heroes of the highest
order, Arnett said. It was easy to
connect them to a real-life Justice
League.
Like the events of that day,
though, even this simple comic isnt
so easy to categorize. Arnetts par-
ents, Carl and Melissa, were married
on Sept. 11, 1967. They celebrated
their 34th wedding anniversary the
day the towers fell.
Arnett gave his parents the comic
for their next anniversary in 2002.
He said he wanted to try to give
them their day back.
I was looking for a way to tie
everything together, he said. From
that day, from my life.
Later, Arnett asked David Mucci,
director of Memorial Unions, if he
would be interested in the work.
Mucci said the simplicity of the
artwork attracted him.
Theres not a lot of verbiage, it
just cuts to the issue, the shock,
he said. Its a really simple, elegant
piece. You walk into it and youre
hit by it.
Maybe thats why it has stuck in
the back of my head for the past five
months. I discovered it while wan-
dering the halls of the Union one
afternoon. A reader had suggested I
check out the World War I plaques
on the sixth floor.
The contrast between the memo-
rials fascinated me. The elder ones
are but collections of names and
faces. What should be two of the
most personal aspects of a man ren-
dered impersonal and cold by time
and medium.
Then there is the comic. Just
black ink on white paper. The
musings of Arnett as he watches
Superman flying overhead. It tells
a story so much deeper and richer
than that though. Loss, pain, con-
fusion and hope wind their way
through his words and drawings.
As we approach the five-year
anniversary of Sept. 11, bureaucrats,
survivors and victims families talk
of how and where to memorialize.
Later this month, the architect of
Freedom Tower will be on campus
discussing his vision for Ground
Zero. The families of the passengers
on Flight 93 are still working toward
a memorial at the site of the crash.
As we strive to find eternal
memorials to the people who died
that day, let us not forget their
humanity. I fear that we may end up
losing their stories in our quest to
build the perfect memorial or the
tallest tower.
Memorials without stories even-
tually fade in color and richness.
Few probably remember the stories
of the men whose pictures hang just
down from Arnetts Superman. In
another generation, likely no one
will be able to tell their stories.
Arnetts comic will always tell
a story. Future readers may find a
different story or meaning in it, but
the emotion will survive.
Tell your stories. Listen to others.
Remember lest the memorials lose
their meaning.

nalism.
For Men
If youre a woman, look away!
This section is for men only.
Men, women try to give us a
bad rap, and it is undeserved. They
think we dont listen, or that we just
dont care in general.
Oh well, we dont really care if
they think we dont listen. We men
are great to our women, and they
are lucky for us to be so genuine to
them, even though they all think we
are stupid, which is hurtful. Men are
wise and wholesome.
Here are three things to know
about University of Kansas women
to better help your success with
them.
1. Women think Step Up is a
good movie.
Why? Because there is dancing,
cheesy romance and a guy with his
shirt off. Women like movies for the
dumbest reasons.
Step Up is just the latest in the
Grease, Dirty Dancing and Save
the Last Dance series. What this
means for you is you either need to
learn to enjoy these movies, or at
least learn how to go into the ulti-
mate, two-hour-long day dream.
At some point you will have to
watch these movies, and if youre
not on your best behavior, its the
couch for you. If youre good,
maybe youll earn a treat, like
Chipotle.
Women really need to learn to
appreciate Predator.
2. Women have powerful senses.
Not only will they live longer
than us, but if you so much as think
about farting, shell smell it.
They also have amazing hearing
capabilities. So, go ahead and talk to
that other girl. Just be careful. Keep
it sly and cool like we always do,
like Zack Morris, or even Sly from
California Dreams.
Women also have one more
powerful sense. Theyre like blood-
hounds when it comes to lies. If you
lie to them, theyll know. Always
have an alibi.
3. Women have naked pillow
fights.
There is a secret woman cov-
enant that meets randomly at night
to have naked pillow fights.
Ask any woman if they have
naked pillow fights and if there is
a secret pillow fighting society, and
they will say no.
Thats because the first rule of
Secret Naked Pillow Fighting Club
is you dont talk about Secret Naked
Pillow Fighting Club. We know in
our hearts there is such a club, and
it is wonderful.
For Women
If youre a man reading this,
mind your own business for five
minutes. Go do the Sudoku or
something.
Women, sometimes you are hard
on men, but it is totally deserved. It
seems like they really just dont care
most of the time. Not to mention
how poorly they sometimes treat
you.
Here are three things to know
that may help you bear living with
men.
1. Men are easily entertained.
Men are very immature by
nature, as you all know. Give them
a bag of Cheetos and an Arnold
Schwarzenegger movie and youve
bought yourself two hours of shop-
ping time.
And how can they not like mov-
ies like Step Up? Its got a good
plot, stellar acting, dancing and the
guy is super hot! Watch that movie
with your boyfriend. If he behaves
during it, reward him with Chipotle.
2. Men think they are smarter
than you.
Men think they can feed you
lines of crap, and that you will
believe them. They lie incessantly,
and think you will never find out
why they blew you off.
Men think you dont realize he is
talking to some random girl, even if
youre right next to him. Is he really
that dumb?
Yes, he is. Which brings us to our
third point.
3. Men are super dumb.
Men are so dumb they actually
think you have naked pillow fights
with your friends. How ridiculous
is that?
I promise, men are as dumb as
they look.
They believe there is a Super
Secret Naked Pillow Fighting Club.
If a guy ever asks you if there is a
club, say no and kick him in the
shin, third grade recess style.

I recognize that Ms. Hartzs
article on less-is-more (8/30,
KU women need to put on some
clothes) is a tongue-in-cheek
attempt to address the presence of
skimpy outfits on campus, a visible
result of a culture that objectifies
and exploits the sexuality of women.
I found parts of the article amusing
enough; however, a few key blun-
ders in Ms. Hartzs word choice left
me disappointed.
I am not one of the skanky
perpetrators of whom she speaks.
I prefer to keep my goods under
wraps. Nonetheless, I was very
upset that Ms. Hartz refers to scant-
ily-clad women as sluts. A woman
should never be labeled a slut sim-
ply because she dons a belly-baring
tube top and a micro-mini. No mat-
ter how humorous Ms. Hartzs arti-
cle is supposed to be, there is noth-
ing funny about how the word slut
is used. A detrimental and invalid
association between skimpy cloth-
ing and promiscuity exists today.
This ill-conceived relationship leads
to situations where women are
treated like sluts or whores, where
women are harassed or even raped
since their choice in clothes seems
to give some people the impression
that these women asked for it.
I would love if images of sexu-
ally objectified women disappeared
from the media and from campus,
but labeling women who let it all
hang out as sluts sets any progress
back a few decades or so.

Early Saturday morning, car loads
of adults and children began filling
the parking lots and fields surround-
ing Memorial Stadium.
Football fans put up tents and flags
in no time, and the scent of freshly lit
charcoal filled the air.
The tradition of tailgating before
KU football games was officially un-
der way.
David Shannon, the winner of
Columbia Banks Tailgate of the
Week, arrived at 8 a.m. Saturday.
People need to get out here ear-
lier, Shannon, Lawrence resident,
said. Getting here early and com-
ing often is part of the fun. Im a
Texas Tech alum, and we start tailgat-
ing Thursday evening for Saturdays
football game.
Shannon, a season ticket holder,
brings family and friends to tail-
gate for every home game. He hasnt
missed a home tailgate in the past
four years.
Every game, Shannons camp
includes a satellite TV to keep up
with other games, a speaker system
for setting a lively mood, a cooler of
beer, and, of course, a grill to cook
burgers, brats and hot dogs.
But food and alcohol arent the
only necessities for a successful tail-
gate.
Its not all about the food and
drink the people youre with are
important too, Ken Hare, Overland
Park resident, said.
Family and friends thats the
important thing at a tailgate, Jack
Dunbar Kansas City, Mo., resident,
said.
Three generations of Jayhawks, as
well as several future Jayhawks, were
at Dunbars tailgate.
Nothing can stop some tailgaters
from supporting their Jayhawks at
home games.
Bad weather, bad game, we come
no matter what, Dunbar said.
Dunbar has been tailgating at
home games for the past 15 years.
But he doesnt stop at just home
games.
Last season he and his family trav-
eled to Fort Worth, Texas, for the
Fort Worth Bowl as well as Boulder,
Colo.
Throughout the day, more tail-
gaters pulled into the grassy hills sur-
rounding Memorial Stadium.
Tailgating on grass is so much
better than on concrete. Its less stuffy
down here and theres more room for
the kids to run around and throw the
football, Jim Passmore, Lawrence
resident, said. Its not so cheese and
wine on the grass as it is in the park-
ing lots.
Tailgating also provides families
with an excuse to visit their relatives
in college.
It was nice tailgating with my
whole family, Amy Johnson,
Leawood freshman, said. Its not
every day my aunts, uncles, grand-
parents and cousins get together just
to hang out. And they didnt mind
getting to visit me either.
With the grill-produced cloud
hovering over the areas surround-
ing Memorial Stadium, student-run
tailgates are plentiful.
Students, including several fra-
ternities, host tailgating parties for a
variety of reasons.
Tailgating is a great excuse to
get drunk while the sun is still up,
Danny Teibel, Overland Park senior,
said. Teibel is a member of Phi Kappa
Psi fraternity.
Alcohol was a common theme at
all tailgates, both student- and par-
ent-run.
For freshmen, though, alcohol
wasnt an option. Freshmen Rob
Conard and Andrew Patterson, both
of Overland Park, tailgated for one
reason: The chicks, man, the chicks,
they both said.
Whether students or adults, these
fans share a common idea: that tail-
gating is the ultimate pastime.

Was it just me, or did I detect
a particularly funky smell around
9:10 p.m. Saturday, emanating
from the west? And no, it wasnt
cow patties I was smelling, but it
did remind me of rotting little
apples.
Oh, I know what the smell was.
It was the smell of change, my
friends.
Right around the time
Kansas had finished slopping
through its 49-18 beating of I-AA
Northwestern State, our lavender-
laden brethren to the west, K-State,
eked out its own victory against a I-
AA opponent, Illinois State, 24-23.
A one-point victory against
a I-AA foe? Who does K-State
think they are, Colorado? No wait,
Colorado lost its I-AA match-up
last weekend...
Heres the deal though. Kansas
State, the Wildcats, the team that
was resurrected from the depths of
college football hell by Bill Snyder,
the team that came an overtime-
loss short of a national title in
1998, had a Heisman runner-up in
Michael Bishop that same year and
then shocked college football in
2003 when it destroyed Oklahoma
for the Big 12 title...barely edges
Illinois State in its home opener?
Somewhere Chad May is wonder-
ing where it all went wrong.
K-State fans, I hate to be the
one to tell you this, but your
magical run as a football school
is nearing its end, and instead of
sprinting, youre stumbling toward
the finish line. Those days of 9-,
10- or 11-win seasons are soon to
be replaced by 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-win
seasons highlighted by trips to the
Fort Worth Bowl.
But Fred, we just went to the
Fort Worth Bowl. I know we did.

The Kansas defense was put to
the test early in Saturdays game
against Northwestern State and
fared surprisingly well.
On the first two defensive series
of the game, Kansas took the field
with Northwestern State inside
its 30-yard line. Both times, the
Demons came away with field goals
a good trend considering that
more than half of the defense made
their first career starts in the game.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino
said he was encouraged to see the
defense handle adversity well at the
beginning of the season.
We have some quality, battle-
tested guys on that defense that
have been in that position before,
Mangino said. Theres a lot of kids
that have not been in that posi-
tion before and they responded very
well.
Considering the teams youth,
keeping the Demons out of the end-
zone on those two possessions early
in the first quarter was quite an
accomplishment. In fact, many of
those younger players, played a role
in those first two defensive stands.
In their first defensive starts,
both sophomore linebacker Mike
Rivera and junior-transfer corner-
back Blake Bueltel recorded a tackle
in the first series.
On the second series, junior cor-
nerback Saqid Muhammed forced
his first career fumble, stripping the
ball from Northwestern State run-
ning back Byron Lawrence. The ball,
however, bounced out of bounds
and stayed with the Demons.
Muhammed, a former walk-on
who recently earned a scholarship,
was described by Mangino as a
steady hand in the secondary.
Hes a smart guy, Mangino said.
He gets himself in position to make
plays. He knows what hes doing,
hes calm and cool.
In just three seasons, Muhammed
has gone from the scout team to
a starting position. Mangino said
Muhammed, the starting free safe-
ty, has worked hard on improving
his speed and is one of the most
improved players in developing
speed.
For players who saw their first
action as a Jayhawk on Saturday, like
redshirt-freshman defensive line-
man Caleb Blakesley, the game was
an opportunity to clear away any
nervousness and focus on the game.
Once you get those nerves out
of the way the first time, you can
just get in and really study oppo-
nents and understand who youre
playing against, and how they play
and play hard every time you go out
there, Blakesley said.
The Jayhawks rushing defense
looked reminiscent of last seasons
squad, holding the Demons to just
62 yards on 30 carries. It was the
10th time in the last 13 games that
Kansas has held an opponent to less
than 100 yards rushing. Last season,
the Jayhawks were second in the
nation in rushing defense, holding
opponents to less than 85 yards a
game.
One of the challenges facing this
seasons defense early in the year
was identifying a leader to replace
former Jayhawks Nick Reid, Banks
Floodman and Kevin Kane.
One of the leaders that has
emerged thus far is senior linebacker
Eric Washington. Freshman safety
Olaitan Oguntodu said Washington
had emerged as leader because he
always offers advice and guidance to
the younger players in practice.
Our linebackers help the sec-
ondary, just like our front lineman
helps the linebackers, Oguntodu
said. I think we really gel together
very well because we understand
each other and the fact that were
young, but we do not use that as an
excuse.

The NCAAs rule changes to
shorten the length of football games
appear to be working.
This Saturday marked the first
time in two years that a KU football
game lasted less than 3 hours.
To please a football-fan base with
an ever-decreasing attention span,
the NCAA wrote three rule changes
this offseason to shorten the length
of football games that consistently
lasted more than 3.5 hours.
The clock starts on a change of
possession when the official whistles
the game into play. Previously, it
started when the ball was snapped.
On kickoffs, the clock now starts
when the kickers foot makes con-
tact with the ball, instead of when
the receiving team first touches the
ball.
Kicking tees have been short-
ened to one inch to try to reduce the
number of touchbacks.
Saturdays game against
Northwestern State ended in 2
hours, 57 minutes. The last time a
KU football game ended in less than
3 hours occurred on Nov. 6, 2004,
when Kansas played Colorado at
Memorial Stadium in 2 hours, 55
minutes.
Last season, KU football games
lasted an average of 3 hours and
20 minutes. When Kansas opened
the season in 2005 against anoth-
er Division 1-AA team, Florida
Atlantic, the game was 23 minutes
longer than Saturdays game.
Coaches across the country stand
on opposite sides of the NCAAs
decision. Some coaches, like KU
Kansas coach Mark Mangino, dont
seem bothered, while others seem
ready to demand that the NCAA
negate the changes.
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is
worried that the changes will hurt
his teams prolific offense, which
translates into more points the more
plays the Red Raiders are able to run.
Whether the rule changes affect the
number of points scored remains
unclear, but less time decreases the
number of plays during a game.
I think the new rule clock rules
are stupid, Leach said. We talk
about football, football, football, and
we do all we can to have less foot-
ball.
Mangino addressed the issue last
month at KU footballs media day.
Mangino is more worried about
adjusting to rule changes than get-
ting it back to the way it was.
I want to take a wait-and-see
attitude about these changes, but I
am concerned that we have to make
adjustments ourselves. We have to
get our offensive and defensive units
and our personnel on the sideline
together very quickly, Mangino
said. As coaches, we have to think
way ahead before the series starts,
both offensively and defensively.
Other coaches in the Big 12, like
Texas coach Mack Brown, have simi-
lar opinions to Mangino. Brown said
the Longhorns had to make adjust-
ments to speed up their two-min-
ute offense before halftime against

As if Ohio State at Texas wasnt
already a big enough game, now its
No. 1 vs. No. 2.
The Longhorns moved up one
spot to No. 2 in The Associated
Press Top 25 on Tuesday, right
behind the top-ranked Buckeyes.
The two powerhouses will square
off in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, a
much-anticipated rematch of last
years 25-22 victory by Texas in
Columbus, Ohio.
Itll be the first time since 1996
that the top two teams in the AP
poll will meet in a regular-season
game. That year, No. 2 Florida
State beat No. 1 Florida 24-21 in
mid-November. The Gators and
Seminoles met in a rematch in the
Sugar Bowl about a month and a
half later, and Florida won 52-20
to earn its only national champion-
ship.
Southern California moved
up three spots to No. 3 in this
weeks first regular-season media
poll, and Notre Dame slipped two
places to No. 4 after a 14-10 vic-
tory at Georgia Tech. The Fighting
Irish share the fourth spot with
Auburn.
Ohio State received 39 first-
place votes and 1,568 points in the
poll after opening its season with a
35-12 win over Northern Illinois.
Texas, which began its season with a
56-7 win over North Texas, received
seven first-place votes and 1,453
points.
Southern California and Auburn
each received three first-place votes;
Notre Dame got eight; and No. 6
West Virginia had five. The rest of
the Top 10 is Florida, LSU, Florida
State up two spots after a 13-10
win over Miami on Monday night
and Michigan.
No. 11 Tennessee made the big-
gest jump, rising 12 spots after a
35-18 victory over California. Cal,
which had its best preseason rank-
ing in more than 50 years, fell from
No. 9 to No. 22 after the meltdown
in Knoxville.
Miami slipped five spots to No.
17.
Last years meeting between
Texas and Ohio State was the first
between the two storied programs.
The Longhorns comeback victory,
led by Vince Young, allowed them
to clear a major hurdle on the way
to their first outright national title
since 1969.
That was also the year Texas was
last involved in a No. 1 vs. No. 2
regular-season matchup. Texas beat
Arkansas in 1969 in one of the most
famous games in that rivalry.
The Longhorns are 4-0 in No. 1
against No. 2 games, the latest com-
ing last season when they beat USC
in the Rose Bowl for the national
title as the second-ranked team.
hio State is 2-0 in 1-2 games,
the last coming in the 2002 Fiesta
Bowl. The No. 2 Buckeyes beat top-
ranked Miami in that game to win
their last national title.
There were no new teams in the
Top 25. The only ranked teams to
lose on the opening weekend were
Cal and Miami.
Georgia came in at No. 12,
followed by Louisville, Iowa,
Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, Miami,
Clemson, Penn State and Oregon.
The 19th-ranked Nittany Lions
play at Notre Dame in Saturdays
other marquee game.
The final five in the rankings
were Nebraska, Cal, TCU, Texas
Tech and Arizona State.

I dont know if this is the first
column about tennis in the history
of this newspaper, but something
tells me that past Kansan colum-
nists havent exactly been having
pen fights to determine who gets to
share their insights about the sport.
There are several reasons why
tennis is sandwiched somewhere
between soccer and jai alai in the
mind of the American sports fan.
For example, theres no tailgating
before tennis matches, no crashes
or bone-jarring hits and no obnox-
ious music between points.
But there is one person in
tennis who can influence every
American sports fan: Andre
Agassi.
Agassi, at the age of 36, ended
his remarkable tennis career
Sunday after losing in four sets to
Benjamin Becker at the U.S. Open.
Flushing Meadows was a fitting
place for the Las Vegas native to
end his career. Twenty years ago, a
young, different Agassi began his
tennis and life journey there.
Long, blond locks of hair and
a gaudy wardrobe showcased his
immaturity. His play was good
enough to win Grand Slams, but
he was better known for his rebel
persona and child-like tantrums.
Agassai had an entourage so large
that Allen Iverson would be jeal-
ous. They made his decisions
and put words in his mouth. He
shunned Wimbledon because the
conservative tournament officials
wouldnt allow Agassis fluorescent
garb on the courts.
His life got lost under the
clothes he wore. The flash of his
apparel blinded people from see-
ing the real Agassi underneath the
extravagant exterior.
Fast forward 20 years to Sunday
afternoon. A U.S. Open record
crowd cheered raucously for its
hero, who finally succumbed to an
aching back that left him nearly
immobile in a sport where quick
movement is key.
How could tennis fans cheer for
a person who seemed more con-
cerned with getting his bandana
and earrings to match rather than
winning a tennis match?
Thats easy. Agassi showed that
a real person did live underneath
his brazen attire.
It started with Steffi Graf.
First, he divorced his former wife,
Brooke Shields. Then he began
seeing Graf, a former tennis star,
and remodeled his ways.
Tennis became the focal point
of his life once again in 1999 as
his ranking catapulted from No.
141 to No. 1. Major tennis titles
became routine as he polished off
the career Grand Slam by win-
ning the French Open and won his
eighth and final Grand Slam title
in 2001. Agassis improbable run to
the finals of last years U.S. Open
sealed his legendary status.
Philanthropy instead of
rebelliousness became Agassis
new trademark off the court.
He launched the Andre Agassi
Charitable Foundation and has,
according to the charitys Web site,
collected more than $52 million
for underprivileged children in Las
Vegas.
After making a surprising run
to the third round at this years
Open, Agassi spoke between sobs
to his fans for the last time on a
tennis court. He could take solace
in the fact that he changed into
a better person throughout his
career and inspired many to do the
same thing in their own lives.
Next time youre watching tele-
vision and see mainstream athletes
like Barry Bonds or Terrell Owens
reinforcing their already selfish
images, I hope you see and learn
something from the latest Agassi
ad. It contains his new motto and
personifies everything the man
stands for: Substance is everything.

Reformed rebel retires from tennis, leaves legacy
one love
BY ALISSA BAUER
This summer, left-handed pitcher
Andy Marks headed north to get
more experience on the field.
Marks, now a Jayhawk sopho-
more, spent the summer throwing
for the Duluth Huskies in Minnesota.
The Huskies play in the Northwoods
League, a division of the Summer
Collegiate Baseball League. The lefty
started just one game last
spring, but used the sum-
mer to collect 11 regular
season and one postseason
start.
Besides a trip to the Mall
of America in Minneapolis,
Marks had never been to
Minnesota. Even though
Marks spent the entire
summer in Duluth and
didnt have time to make a
trip home to St. Louis, he has happy
memories of his summer.
I had a great time, Marks said.
It was good to see a different part of
the country.
It also helps that Marks was a
successful pitcher for the Huskies.
He collected nine victories during 66
innings in his regular-season starts.
His ERA barely rose above 2.00, as
he finished the regular season at
2.05, allowing 48 hits and just 15
runs.
While in Duluth, Marks con-
tinued the work he started as a
Jayhawk. In the 33.2 innings Marks
pitched for Kansas last season, he
struck out 31 batters and walked 18,
mostly in relief roles. As a Husky
starter, he walked 30 and struck
out 59.
I was really excited about it, but
mostly excited about my develop-
ment as a pitcher, Marks said.
Huskies coach David Parra
worked with Marks, and called
pitches during Marks outings,
contributing to his development.
During the summer, Marks focused
on new mechanics that resulted in
him throwing harder and for more
strikes. He also developed a slider
to work into his rotation of pitches
he plans on using this spring as a
Jayhawk.
I didnt have the knowledge
that I have now, or the confidence,
Marks said. Im just a totally dif-
ferent pitcher now than I was last
spring.
All three of Kansas starters from
its Big 12 tournament champion-
ship pitching staff, Sean Land, Ricky
Fairchild and Kodiak Quick, are
no longer with the team, leaving
coach Ritch Price looking for quality
replacements.
He put it all together this sum-
mer, Price said. Were hoping now
that hell be able to compete for a
starting role this spring.
I think when youre a freshman
and you play for a top 25 team at a
major university, a lot of freshmen
get overlooked, the coach said.
Marks, who tied for
the most regular sea-
son victories in the
Northwoods League,
doesnt necessarily think
he was overlooked. His
role as a relief pitcher
last season may have
been all he was ready for,
although he believes dif-
ferently now.
I feel Ive grown up
so much, Marks said. I feel like I
can jump in and start on the week-
ends.
Other Jayhawks were also playing
in Dulth. Freshman third baseman
Robby Price and junior outfielder
Brock Simpson returned to Lawrence
in time for classes, but Marks stayed
behind. He was scheduled for one
more start as a Husky.
With one victory behind in the
Northwoods League North Division
championship series, Marks started
game two against the Thunder Bay
Border Cats. Just two outs shy of
the complete game, Marks took the
loss after allowing three hits and one
run. His Huskies lost 1-0. They lost
again the next day, ending Duluths
summer.
Four Huskies were named to the
Northwoods League postseason
All-Star team. Two of them were
also Jayhawks. Robby Price, who hit
.281 with 27 RBI this summer, and
Marks.
Were excited about these guys,
coach Price said. Were counting on
them to step up and replace some big
name players.
After his successful summer,

Big game gets bigger as Ohio, Texas top rankings
BY BEn WALkER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Jelena Jankovic
lost so many matches in a row this
year, she lost count. She figured it
was probably time to quit tennis
and go back to school in Belgrade.
On Tuesday, Jankovic graduated
to her first Grand Slam semifi-
nal, that is by taking away No.
4 Elena Dementievas serve and
coasting 6-2, 6-1 at the U.S. Open.
I cannot believe that I won in
two sets, Jankovic said. What was
the score? I dont even know the
total score.
Steady drizzle did not dampen
Jankovics day. The 19th-seeded
Serbian became the first player
to reach this years semifinals at
Flushing Meadows, and will face
the winner of the match between
Lindsay Davenport and Justine
Henin-Hardenne.
The 21-year-old Jankovic
posted the biggest victory of her
career, winning every game when
Dementieva served.
Dementieva let out a shriek
midway through the second set
when her shot hit the net tape,
popped up and landed on her side.
The sound echoed through Arthur
Ashe Stadium, and she quietly
exited a few games later.
She didnt give me any chanc-
es, Dementieva said. She was
better.
Jankovic said shes had prob-
lems in the past with Dementievas
slow, slicing serves. It was hard to
tell this time, though.
It has some slice on the ball
and its a lot slower than all the
other players, Jankovic said. But
now I got used to it somehow.
Dementieva has frequent-
ly struggled with her serve. She
had so much trouble while losing
the 2004 Open final to Svetlana
Kuznetsova that she served almost
everything sidearm, drawing
laughs from the crowd.
the following is a list of the
top 25 teams in the associated
press college football poll. the
list includes the number of frst-
place votes in parentheses, each

By shawn shroyer
Iowa State 45, Toledo 43 (3 OT)
Four quarters and two overtimes
werent enough to settle the first Big
12 game of the 2006 season. Tied
37-37 in the third overtime, Iowa
State junior quarterback Bret Meyer
found junior wide receiver Todd
Blythe for a 25-yard touchdown.
Forced to go for a two-point
conversion, Meyer used his run-
ning ability to get into the endzone.
Toledo scored a touchdown on its
possession in the third overtime,
but failed on the two-point attempt.
Texas 56, North Texas 7
In Texas first game without
quarterback Vince Young, consis-
tency was the key. Texas scored 14
points in each quarter on its way to
routing North Texas.
Freshman Colt McCoy was under
the microscope Saturday as Texas
new starting quarterback. Like
Vince Young, McCoy performed
with both his arm and his legs. He
completed 12 of 19 passes for 178
yards and three touchdowns and
rushed for 38 yards and a touch-
down on four carries.
He made a great play with his
feet on the quarterback draw, and
we need him to do that more, Texas
coach Mack Brown said. I thought
Colt was as good out of the box
today as we could have expected
him to be.
Montana State 19, Colorado 10
New Colorado senior starting
quarterback James Cox couldnt
compete with Montana State junior
quarterback Cory Carpenter. Cox
completed just eight of 22 passes for
110 yards while Carpenter racked
up 229 yards and a touchdown.
Although Division I-AA
Montana State never pulled away
from Colorado, coach Mike Kramer
was confident his team could main-
tain the lead.
At no point did I not think
that we couldnt win this football
game because of our talent level and
coaching expertise, Kramer said. I
knew that if we didnt make a big
mistake, that we could be there in
the fourth quarter.
Nebraska 49, Louisiana Tech 10
Balance was the key for Nebraska
on Saturday. The Cornhuskers
racked up 332 yards through the
air and 252 on the ground, giving
opponents a glimpse of what to
expect this season.
Showing the most balance were
Nebraskas running backs, sopho-
mores Cody Glenn and Marlon
Lucky and juniors Brandon Jackson
and Kenny Wilson all had carries.
Only Wilson failed to reach the
endzone.
Its working great, Glenn said.
Once someone gets tired, someone
else is ready to go. I was satisfied
with my carries. Everybody got the
carries they thought they would
get.
Missouri 47, Murray State 7
The post-Brad Smith era began
flawlessly for Missouri behind new
starting quarterback Chase Daniel.
Daniel, a sophomore, set a new
school record for touchdowns in
a game with five, and posted 320
passing yards.
Missouri also had its way with
Murray State on the ground. Junior
running back Tony Temple led the
Tigers with 119 rushing yards.
Texas Tech 35, SMU 3
Texas Tech sophomore quarter-
back Graham Harrell followed the
tradition that goes with being a Red
Raider quarterback, passing for 342
yards and five touchdowns.
However, Texas Tech added
another element to its offensive
attack with sophomore running
back Shannon Woods rushing for
105 yards.
Graham looked good tonight; he
did a real good job, senior receiver
Robert Johnson said. Hes a Tom
Brady: hes a calm guy, hes cool.
Oklahoma State 52, Missouri
State 10
Oklahoma States young offense
was firing on all cylinders on
Saturday. Against Missouri State,
now coached by former Kansas
coach Terry Allen, Oklahoma State
scored 38 points in the first half
alone.
Oklahoma State sophomore
quarterback Bobby Reid threw four
touchdowns on just eight comple-
tions, and sophomore running back
Mike Hamilton gained 160 rushing
yards.
Oklahoma 24, UAB 17
Oklahomas quest to win the Big
12 South got off to a rocky start,
but thanks to junior running back
Adrian Peterson, the Sooners sal-
vaged a victory.
Peterson rushed for 143 yards
and a touchdown, but his 69-yard
touchdown reception in the third
quarter gave Oklahoma the lead
for good.
We have got to be better,
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said.
We cant turn the ball over four
times and win. We got lucky.
Texas A&M 35, The Citadel 3
Texas A&M quarterback Stephen
McGee was impressive in his first
start outside the shadow of former
quarterback Reggie McNeal.
In the air, McGee completed 16
of 24 attempts for 200 yards and a
touchdown. On the ground, he had
26 yards and another touchdown.
Hes only going to get a little bet-
ter in his pocket presence as he gets
more relationships in doing those
things, Texas A&M coach Dennis
Franchione said. For the most part
he was a good field general. He
directed the team well and gave
them a lot of energy.
Kansas State 24, Illinois State
23
After Illinois State scored a
touchdown to come within a point
of Kansas State with three minutes
left in the game, Illinois State coach
Denver Johnson opted to go for a
two-point conversion instead of a
game-tying extra point.
However, the attempt failed, and
Illinois State turned the ball over on
downs on its last possession, sealing
a victory for Kansas State for coach
Ron Princes first game.
Some decisions you make with
your head, some decisions you make
with your heart, some decisions you
make with your gut, Johnson said.
All three my head, my heart
and my gut told me that our best
chance to win the game was right
there, right then. I have absolutely
no remorse, no second thoughts
about that.
TCU 17, Baylor 7
The only Big 12 school to play
a ranked opponent this weekend,
Baylor led TCU until the 1:17 mark
of the third quarter on Sunday.
Although Baylor was competi-
tive against a ranked team, coach
Guy Morriss expressed displeasure
for his teams inability to win close
games.
Im tired of these kind of games.
Its still a loss, Morriss said. We
need to find a way to win these
games. Bottom line, we didnt make
enough plays to get it done.
Players of the Week
Three fresh faces in the Big
12 received their first confer-
ence Players of the Week honors
Monday.
Missouri sophomore quarterback
Chase Daniel was named Offensive
Player of the Week for his 320-yard,
five-touchdown performance. The
five touchdowns were a Missouri
single-game record.
Kansas State sophomore defen-
sive end Ian Campbell was named
Defensive Player of the Week after
recording eight solo tackles, five for
losses, and three sacks.
Oklahoma State freshman kick
returner Perrish Cox was named
Special Teams Player of the Week.
In his college football debut, Cox
returned the opening kickoff 96
yards for a touchdown.

Its week one of the fantasy foot-
ball season, a time when every man-
ager across the world thinks, Wow,
I drafted the greatest team in fantasy
football history.
Well, before you decide what size
you want your championship T-shirt
in, let me tell you how you can still
improve your team before the season
starts.
First, heres my quick list of play-
ers to drop: Domanick Davis, Billy
Volek, Curtis Martin, and anybody
having anything to do with the
49ers.
Listed below are five players that
are still available in most leagues.
They may not be immediate impact
players, but if stashed on your bench
for a couple weeks, it could deter-
mine whether youll be in your
leagues playoffs come December, or
scouring the Internet for a good
fantasy hockey league. If these guys
are available in your league, jump
on them like you would a fumbled
punt return.
1) Travis Henry, running back,
Tennessee Titans. Remember this
guy with the Buffalo Bills? In the two
years he started, he averaged 1,397
yards and 12 touchdowns. Sounds
pretty good for a guy who is only
owned in 13.5 percent of ESPN.com
fantasy leagues. If he can beat out the
fragile Chris Brown for the starting
spot, the addition of Henry will be
an absolute steal.
2) Kerry Collins, quarterback,
Tennessee Titans. Collins put up
good numbers in the first half of last
year with Oakland and, when sober,
actually has a pretty good arm.
3) Jerious Norwood, running
back, Atlanta Braves. Its possible
that hes a distant cousin of former
Buffalo kicker Scott Norwood, but
dont expect any misfires from this
Norwood in the clutch. He averaged
six yards per carry his senior year
at Mississippi State, and with an
Atlanta rushing offense that put up
a league-leading 159 yards per game
last year, he could put up similar
numbers should 180-pound Warrick
Dunn get accidently washed down
the drain while taking a shower.
4) Greg Jennings, wide receiver,
Green Bay Packers. Having unseat-
ed the always dangerous Robert
Ferguson (one career 100-yard
game) as the No. 2 receiver for
Green Bay, Jennings, who has dis-
played big-play potential in training
camp, should get plenty of looks.
Hey, Brett Favre has to have some-
one to aim at when he throws his
interceptions.
5) Doug Gabriel, wide receiver,
New England Patriots. The Patriots
acquired Gabriel in a trade with the
Raiders on Sunday. Its hard for me
to believe that a fifth-round pick
was all the Pats had to give up for a
receiver with great athleticism, good
hands, solid blocking skills, and a
good work ethic. After losing David
Givens to the Titans, and with Deion
Branch doing his best Terrell Owens
impersonation, Gabriels arrival to
Foxboro is the only thing keeping
Tom Brady off the ledge.

Fantasy Football
Season starts this week, improve
team before its too late
davis (continued from 1b)
North Texas. Texas got the ball with
2:34 left and had to speed its attack.
Brown noticed that the changes
also affected the length of the game.
The game was shorter, Brown
said. I looked up, and it was about
a three-hour game. Normally games
are between 3:15-3:30 on the aver-
age. I think our average last year
was 3:15. Games are going to go
quicker.
Although Brown was mistaken
the Texas game actually lasted
3 hours, 29 minutes a lengthy
instant replay review extended the
game time.
Texas was also on television
Saturday. Games played on televi-
sion traditionally take longer. Last
season, Kansas played only two
regionally televised games and one
nationally televised game. The game
on national TV against Houston in
the Fort Worth Bowl took 3 hours,
42 minutes. Some coaches think
television caused the rule change
and would rather have the NCAA
ignore the demand to shorten games
for television.
From what I understand, TV
spawned the whole thing, and if
were going to let TV dictate things
like that, were kind of letting the tail
wag the dog, Leach said.
In the Big 12, the average length
of the games over the weekend was
3 hours, 8 minutes, with three games
finishing in less than 3 hours. The
longest game over the weekend was
the Iowa State, Toledo contest, which
went to overtime and ended in 3
hours, 38 minutes.
During the opening weekend of
last season, the average game length
in the Big 12 (excluding Texas A&M)
was 3 hours, 26 minutes.

But our program is rising, not fall-
ing. You see, that smell of change
is Kansas on its way to enjoy-
ing the type of success K-State
enjoyed in the 90s, while K-State
can expect to enjoy or writhe
in what the Jayhawks experi-
enced. And yes, a few good years
are plausible for K-State. Consider
it a football swap.
The justification for all this
talk starts with the move that K-
State made after coach Bill Snyder
retired. With 2003 as his real swan
song, Snyder, who spent more time
in his office than Ell Roberson
spent in females hotel rooms, knew
his best days were behind him. A
9-13 record over the past two sea-
sons helped confirm that.
Snyders departure was interest-
ing in the sense that it made you
wonder what kind of coach the
Wildcats would bring in to replace
him.
The thing is, while some might
have thought big-name, or at least
name-recognition guys might show
some interest, they never did. You
heard names like Gary Patterson,
a proven D-I coach at TCU, or Jim
Leavitt, the South Florida coach
who helped turn the K-State pro-
gram around. Both guys, K-State
guys at that, never even seriously
considered the opportunity to
coach in Manhattan.
So the Wildcats turned to ...
Purple Rain? No, no that Prince,
Ron Prince. Although they might
as well have hired Prince, more
people have heard of him.
But seriously, Ron Prince?
He was the offensive coordi-
nator at Virginia, yeah, the
Commonwealth, prior to taking
over in the Little Apple. An offen-
sive-line guru, hes been praised as
an up-and-comer in the collegiate
coaching ranks.
K-Staters said of Princes rela-
tive obscurity, Bill Snyder was
hired out of nowhere, look what
he did.
Yeah, and Snyder coached
under the legendary Hayden Fry,
who also happened to tutor guys
like Barry Alvarez, Bob Stoops,
Kirk Ferentz and Dan McCarney
among others. Prince learned
from...Al Groh?
I mean no disrespect to K-
State, but trouble lies ahead.
Losing three quarterbacks to
transfer isnt very reassuring, and
the fact that it is Manhattan youre
recruiting to Junction City is a
hotspot... right? doesnt bode
well for Wildcat fans. At least now
youve got Bob Huggins.

tiger Woods and his caddie steve Williams celebrate Woods birdie on the 17th hole in the Deutsche Bank Championship golf tournament at the TPC
of Boston in Norton, Mass., on Monday. Woods won the tournament, his ffth straight PGATour victory, with 16-under par.
Will Woods ever lose again?
Tiger wins fifth consecutive tournament a second time
By TIM DAHLBERG
AssocIATED PREss
Vijay Singh had a smile on his face
when it was over, the kind of dazed
smile we should be accustomed to by
now because its been on the faces of
a lot of guys who have teed it up in
recent weeks against Tiger Woods.
Singh didnt have much to say.
There wasnt much he could say.
Really, theres not much left to
be said.
Woods has now won five tourna-
ments in a row. Watch him shoot a
63 in the final round of the Deutsche
Bank Classic and you wonder how
he can possibly lose again.
He will, of course, because golf
can be a maddening game, even if
your first name is Tiger.
For now, though, be content to
watch greatness. Savor the moment
so you can tell your grandchildren
you were there during the day when
one man was so mentally tough and
physically gifted that he could seem-
ingly will his way to victory.
Enjoy him, because golf may
never see the likes of a Tiger Woods
again.
Hes already the greatest player of
his time. Barring injury, hell become
the greatest player of all time sooner
than anyone ever thought.
What has to frighten his fellow
players is that the best may still be
coming.
Everything can always be better,
Woods said. This game is fluid. Its
always changing, its always evolv-
ing and you can always get better.
Thats the great thing about it. You
can get better tomorrow than you
are today.
The words might sound arrogant,
coming as they do from someone
who has won five tournaments,
including two major championships,
in a row. But the best always have
a touch of arrogance in them, and
Woods is no exception.
He overhauled his swing once
even after winning big early in his
career. He did it again after winning
seven of 11 majors at one stretch,
presumably because he figured he
should have won them all.
Woods is close to becoming a bil-
lionaire but, in an era of pampered
pros who are content just to earn
a nice living, he plays as though
he doesnt have two nickels to rub
together.
I could always hit the ball better,
chip better, put better, think better,
Woods said.
So now its five in a row, though
you get the feeling that Woods isnt
as impressed with the winning streak
as his fellow competitors might be.
Its a career to them, but to the
games best player its merely a sum-
mer fling.
Thats partly because Woods
has already won six in a row once.
And even he considers the record
of 11 straight during the final year
of World War II by Byron Nelson
almost unapproachable.
Hell go into next years Masters as
a prohibitive favorite to win his fifth
green jacket, and a win at the U.S.
Open at Oakmont would give him
the Tiger Slam for the second time
in his career.
Assuming he wins those and
its hard not to he would have a
chance to win the real Grand Slam
and edge tantalizingly close to the
record of 18 major championships
now held by Jack Nicklaus.
Nicklaus, of course, is generally
regarded as the best player ever.
But he never won tournaments in
bunches, and he never held all four
major titles at once like Woods might
for the second time next year.
Woods needs only 21 PGA Tour
wins to pass Nicklaus for second
place in overall wins, and seven
major championships to overtake
him in the category that means the
most. Hell get those, and by the
time hes in his mid-30s he will likely
break the record held by Sam Snead
of 82 tour wins.
By then, Woods wont have any-
body left to chase. He will have to
motivate himself by trying to set
the bar so high that no one will ever
break his records.
Knowing Woods, he will do just
that.
The great ones usually do.
Cardinals defeat Nationals
mlb
By JosEPH WHITE
AssocIATED PREss
WASHINGTON Albert
Pujols hit his 44th home run, and
Jeff Suppan took a shutout into the
eighth inning Tuesday night to lead
the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-0 vic-
tory over the Washington Nationals.
Pujols homer was his fifth in
three days and second in as many
at-bats. He pulled a flat 76 mph
pitch from Pedro Astacio over the
left field fence in the first inning for
a solo shot.
Suppan (11-7) allowed five hits,
struck out five and walked two as
the Cardinals snapped the Nationals
five-game winning streak. He allowed
two men on base in two innings, and
left after Ryan Zimmerman walked
and Nick Johnson singled with two
outs in the eighth.
Adam Wainwright entered and
hit Austin Kearns to load the bases
before striking out Brian Schneider,
ending another fruitless day for the
Nationals when batting with runners
in scoring position. Washington was
0-for-6 with runners on second and
third, dropping the teams season
average to .245.
The Cardinals added a run in the
seventh when Washington second
baseman Bernie Castro dropped a
throw from shortstop Felipe Lopez
on a potential double-play ball with
the bases loaded. Scott Rolen scored,
but the rally stopped when Suppan,
the next hitter, lined into a double
play while attempting a squeeze
bunt.
Astacio (3-5) took the loss despite
pitching well after three bad out-
ings.
The Nationals were again hurt
by the inability to get their runners
home. Lopez was stranded at third
in the first, Nook Logan was left at
second in the third, Kearns stood
helplessly at third as the fifth came
to an end, and Schneiders swinging
strikeout ended the threat in the
eighth.
Game included 44th homer, eight-inning shutout for St. Louis
