Weekend hit-and-run kills student

Most teachers in the United
States are not being adequately
prepared for the classroom by their
university programs, according to
a report released last week. The
University of Kansas, however, is
one program that is making the
grade, a school of education offi-
cial said.
The University of Kansas School
of Education was not examined
under the study, but based on the
authors criteria, the school would
score well, Sally Roberts, associate
dean of the School of Education,
said.
The report, titled Educating
School Teachers, was released by
the Education Schools Project and
authored by Arthur Levine, for-
mer president of the Columbia
University Teachers College.
He assessed the education pro-
grams at a university based on
whether the school grants bac-
calaureate, masters or doctoral
degrees. With the differences of
each in mind, Levine examined
nine criteria, which included the
quality of each schools curriculum,
research and faculty, and admis-
sion and graduation standards.
One of Levines main arguments
is that schools arent preparing stu-
dents for practical classroom sce-
narios. At the University, student
teaching is required to become
licensed, and field components are
required for several courses.
Katie McDonald, Hutchinson
senior, is studying to teach kin-
dergarten through second grade.
She said she feels prepared in most
areas, especially because students
must spend so much time in chil-
drens classrooms. She spends four
days of the week in a Eudora school
teaching math, science and social
studies as part of a practicum. She
also spends 40 minutes a week
tutoring for a literacy practicum.
Another of Levines criticisms is
that a majority of programs suffer
from low admission and gradua-
tion standards.
In response, Roberts explained
the University is a research-inten-
sive school and doctoral univer-
sity. The school is allowed to use
research funds and award doctoral
degrees, which not every univer-
sity can do, she said. It also means
they graduate fewer students.
In our school, training teach-
ers is a small part of what we do,
she said.

A Lawrence police officer shot
and injured a 36-year-old Lawrence
woman during a stand-off Sunday
afternoon.
The shooting occurred at 1:23
p.m. after a stand-off began around
9 a.m. Police have not released the
womans name.
Capt. David Cobb of the Lawrence
Police Department said the womans
mother called police at 9 a.m., ask-
ing them to check on her distressed
daughter. Cobb said the officer who
responded to the Mobile Village II
trailer park, 110 Michigan St., heard
a gunshot when he knocked on the
door. The officer fled and called for
assistance.
Officers arrived and Cobb said the
shift commander called for trained
negotiators and additional, off-duty
personnel. The negotiators talked to
the woman by telephone for about
three hours, starting at 10:40 a.m.
The woman opened the door
about 1:23 p.m., pointed a gun and
shot at the police, Cobb said. Police
returned fire and one officer shot
the woman. She was then flown by
helicopter to a Kansas City hospital.
Cobb said that as of 4:30 p.m., the
woman was in surgery and her con-
dition was unknown.
This is a rare occurrence for us,
Cobb said of shootings in Lawrence.
Sherie Marshal, a neighbor and
family friend, said the womans name
was Marsha and she had been stay-
ing with her father, Jim Mace, the
owner of the trailer. Mace was visit-
ing another daughter in Texas when
the incident occurred. Marshal said
the police contacted Mace after the
incident. Sherie Marshal was told
by her brother, Jim Marshal, that
Mace keeps two guns in his home
and that Marsha had been struggling
with depression for the last year.
Jim Marshal was not at the scene
Sunday.
George Oliver, a neighbor of
Maces, said he heard two shots
between 9 and 9:30 a.m. He later
heard the police on bull horns com-
municating with the woman. He said
he saw the police officer who shot
the woman being taken away in a
detectives car.
Police asked neighbors to evacu-
ate their homes after the first shots
were fired. The woman living next
door said she was awoken by police
officers at 9 a.m.
The woman, who said she has
known Marsha for many years,
thought Marsha was having a fight
with her boyfriend, and said she
heard a gun shot coming from the
trailer.
Tiffany Reginer, a 14-year-old
neighbor of Maces, said she was
woken up by police about 10 a.m.
They told her to leave her residence
for her own safety. Reginer goes to
school with Marshas 15-year-old
son.
Another neighbor said she was
woken up in the afternoon by a shot.
She said she saw a policeman run
down the street with a gun. Later, she
said she heard an ambulance enter
the trailer park.
Police officers taped off the sur-
rounding trailers for investigative
purposes and residents had to wait
outside the perimeter until police
said they could enter their homes.
The Lawrence Police Department
shooting policy states an officer
is entitled to use the degree of
force that is reasonably necessary
to prevent death or bodily harm
upon the officer. The policy states
further that post-shooting trauma
counseling shall be made available
to all police personnel involved in a
shooting incident.
Lawrence police will release
more information at a 10 a.m. brief-
ing today at the Law Enforcement
Center.

Police locate suspect car, driver;
department continues investigation
By Erin CAstAnEdA
Lawrence police are expected
to confirm this morning that
Ryan Kanost, a 22-year-old
University of Kansas senior
from Manhattan, was killed in a
hit-and-run accident about 1:09
a.m. Saturday.
The accident occurred at
the intersection of 13th and
Kentucky streets.
Lawrence police officers
were called to the scene where
Kanost was pronounced dead.
The intersection does not have
a traffic light, rather two stop
signs on 13th Street.
According to a Lawrence
Police Department media
release, a silver 2002 or newer
Toyota Camry struck Kanost
while he was crossing the inter-
section.
The Toyota drove away from
the scene north on Kentucky
Street. The vehicle sustained
damage to the right front corner,
quarter panel and passenger side
of the vehicle, police said in a
statement.
By dAnny luPPino
Friends of Ryan Kanost described
him as an intensely loyal friend with
a sense of personal responsibility far
beyond his years.
Kanost, a 22-year-old Manhattan
senior, was killed
early Saturday
morning in a hit-
and-run accident
while trying to
cross Kentucky
Street on his way
to a party.
Scott Emery, Manhattan senior,
said he grew up down the street from
Kanost and had been best friends
with him since seventh grade.
He was the best person I have
ever known, Emery said. He was
really selfless. He had a small group
of friends he was really loyal to.
He didnt make bad decisions;
never did anything stupid. He was
like everybodys anchor. Everybodys
dad, almost.
Other friends said they would
fondly remember Kanost for his
warm, welcoming demeanor.
He was just a really laid back
guy, Calvin McConnell, a mem-
ber of Kanosts graduating class at
Manhattan High School, said.

The Muslim Student Association
(MSA) aims to present Islam the
way followers, and not the media,
defne it, as well as to be a resource
for Muslims and non-Muslims,
according to Fadlullah Firman,
Jakarta, Indonesia senior and MSA
president.
MSA frst formed fve years
ago from the Islamic Society of
Lawrence and also belongs to MSA
International. The group currently
boasts 70 regular members, many
of which are Muslim. However,
non-believers should not feel
nervous to join, as were here not
just for the Muslim community,
Firman said.
On Sunday, religious ob-
servance of the Islamic month of
Ramadan began, which will last
until Oct. 23. Ramadan is a time for
Muslims to focus on prayer, fasting
and charity. The most widely-
known aspect of Ramadan is the
refrain from eating and drinking
from dawn to sunset every day.
MSAs most popular event of
the school year is the Fast-a-Thon.
Non-Muslims pledge to fast from
dawn to sunset one day this year,
Oct. 11 to raise awareness about
hunger, to support charities, and
to attend a free Middle Eastern
breakfast and dinner.
Businesses and individual
volunteers donate money for
each non-Muslim who pledges to
participate. In 2005, more than
500 people made the commit-
ment, raising more than $2,000 for
the Lawrence Community Shelter
and victims of the southeast Asia
earthquake. All proceeds from this
years event will go to the Law-
rence Community Shelter.
Breakfast will be hosted at the
Islamic Center of Lawrence, 19th
and Naismith streets, at 5:30 a.m.
on Oct. 11. Dinner will be hosted
that night at 6:30 at the Douglas
County Fairgrounds, where par-
ticipants can expect to enjoy pita
bread, hummus, baklava, chicken
salad and more. The dinner brings
people of all faiths together to
learn about Islam, hear from speak-
ers, view Islam prayer and try new
food.
To participate in the Fast-a-
Thon or get involved with MSA,
interested students should speak
with group members on Wescoe
Beach today or visit the MSA Web
site at www.msaku.com. Informa-
tion about subscribing to the
mailing list, which informs students
of upcoming meetings and events,
is available on the Web site.

Thai soldiers encouraged

BANGKOK, Thailand Military
coup leaders in Thailand often
called the Land of Smiles ap-

Since Tuesdays overthrow of
Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra,
tanks and soldiers have been sta-

Farm owner discovers
chicken with four legs
SOMERSET, Pa. Henrietta the
chicken was living inconspicu-
ously among 36,000 other birds
at Brendle Farms for 18 months
until a foreman noticed she had
four legs.
Its as healthy as the rest, the
farms owner, Mark Brendle, told
The Daily American.
Brendles 13-year-old daughter,
Ashley, named the chicken Henriet-
ta after the discovery Thursday. The
bird has two normal front legs and,
behind those, two more feet. They
are of a similar size to her front legs
but dont function. The chicken
drags her extra feet behind her.
In 30 years of farming, Brendle
said, hes never before seen a
chicken with four legs.

education (continued from 1A)
The majority of our students are
at a graduate level so the program
is small.
In the 2005-2006 academic
year, the University graduated 420
graduate students and 200 under-
graduates in education. For com-
parison, Roberts said Emporia State
University, which doesnt have a
doctoral program, has 1,150 under-
graduates.
Emporia State University was
one of four education programs
rated as exemplary in the report.
Before students can apply to KUs
School of Education their junior
year, they must have completed
observation hours in local schools,
scored well on an essay exam and
worked with a range of students.
The minimum GPA requirement
is 2.75, but the average is 3.45 for
students in the school.
Levine also suggested that all
education schools should require a
five-year program, something the
school already has in place.
The United States has a teacher
shortage that the report estimates
as 200,000 per year.
Levine stated train-
ing high-quality
teachers to improve
student achieve-
ment is key.
Levine proposed
expanding current
doctoral schools
to admit more stu-
dents. But Roberts
disagreed that
more advanced
schools should take in the slack.
Hes essentially saying we pick
that up, Roberts said. The prob-
lem with that is I dont know we can
take on that many more (students)
at a research-level school.
She would rather see the quality
be improved at the current masters
schools rather than closing them
altogether.
KU fac-
ulty spend
about 40
percent of
their time
t e a c h i n g ,
50 per-
cent doing
research and
10 percent
in service
to the KU
community,
Roberts said. At a masters univer-
sity, it is 60 to 70 percent teaching.
Roberts also suggested professors
use research time to study teach-
ing.
We should take the lead in find-
ing out what does make good teach-
ers, she said.
The Education Schools Project
assesses 1,206 American educa-
tion programs. The report is based
on national surveys of education
school alumni, principals, educa-
tion school deans and faculty, visits
to 28 education schools and an
examination of student achieve-
ment. It is the second in a series of
policy reports based on results of
a four-year study about Americas
education schools.

Scott Emery, Manhattan senior
and a friend of Kanosts, said
Kanost was in the middle of a
group walking from one party
to another when the Camry
approached. Emery said witnesses
told him the Camry was traveling
at least 20 mph over the speed
limit.
Later Saturday, the silver Toyota
Camry and driver were located.
The investigation is ongoing and
the police department has not said
whether an arrest has been made.
Car-on-pedestrian accidents
have not been an uncommon
occurrence in Lawrence.
A similar accident occurred
March 14, 2004, when 20-year-
old Devin Emery of Wichita was
killed while walking near Teepee
Junction, north of Lawrence on
U.S. Highways 24-40, after a party
celebrating former fraternity
Sigma Nus skit in that years Rock
Chalk Revue.
The most recent vehicle-pedes-
trian fatality occurred April 9,
2005, in the 2500 block of West
Sixth Street, according to pub-
lished media reports. A 25-year-
old Olathe woman died from inju-
ries she received while crossing
the street as patrons were leaving
the Cadillac Ranch. That particu-
lar spot was also the site of an ear-
lier hit-and-run accident on Nov.
19, 2004 when a Baker University
student was struck while crossing
the street. He died after being
life-flighted to the University of
Kansas Hospital in Kansas City,
Kan.
Police ask that anyone who wit-
nessed the accident, or saw the
vehicle prior to the accident, call
the Lawrence Police Department
at 785-832-7501.

event helps students
learn about resources
Student success will be the
focus on campus this week
during Academic Success
Week, which starts today and
continues through Thursday.
Shanda Hurla, coordinator
for Academic Success Week
and project coordinator in
New Student Orientation, said
the event was created to help
students learn about the re-
sources available on campus to
help them succeed in classes.
Hurla said the week was
scheduled after classes started
because it was easier for stu-
dents to identify areas they
needed help in academically.
Diferent programs are of-
fered each day of the event,
ranging from time manage-
ment to wellness.
All events are free and a
wide variety of campus ofces
will be involved in the events.

He never held a grudge.
Ned Epps, Manhattan senior,
said Kanosts calm temperament
was picked up by those around
him and put him at the center of
his group of friends, a place where
he thrived.
He loved getting all of us
together, Epps said. His circle
of friends and his family were the
most important things to him. Hed
drop everything else for them.
Kanosts parents, Michael
and Jill Kanost of Manhattan,
expressed through friends that
they did not wish to speak with the
University Daily Kansan for this
story. Michael Kanost is a distin-
guished professor of biochemistry
at Kansas State University.
Emery said Kanost had planned
to attend medical school and had
completed his applications just a
few days before the accident.
Ryan was going to become a
good doctor, Emery said.
In addition to his professional
ambitions, friends said Kanost pas-
sionately embraced several hob-
bies, including coaching basketball
for middle school-aged youth in
Lawrence.
More than anything, Kanosts
friends wanted him to be remem-
bered for his dry sense of humor
and positive outlook on life.
He was such a fun and funny
guy, Epps said. Well just remem-
ber him as a lighter side kind of
guy. He didnt like to dwell on the
negative.
It really was a privilege to know
him for so long.

OUR VIEW
Philanthropy back in style for the rich
Grant snider/kAnsAn
If there is one giant upside
to the growing rich/poor dis-
parity in the United States, it
is this significant development:
Philanthropy is vogue again.
OK, maybe it never really went
out of style, but for a long time
people made charitable contribu-
tions simply for the tax deduction.
But check out the newsstands
now: Theres Warren Buffett and
Bill Gates, each donating huge
sums to fight AIDS and poverty.
(Buffetts donation to the Gates
Foundation was the largest single
act of charity in American his-
tory.) Theres the local Kauffman
Foundation, lauded in The
Kansas City Star for its excellent
work. And sure enough, theres
philanthropys rock star Bill
Clinton jetting all over the world
raising money and awareness,
and gracing the covers of politi-
cal opposites Fortune and The
New Yorker simultaneously.
Philanthropy is suddenly the
hottest cause around. Giving is
the new earning, and private
capital, not public funding, is
driving this trend. Hedge fund
managers are lining up to give
money to Robin Hood, a New
York-based foundation made up
entirely of celebrities and Wall
Streets richest that combats local
poverty. It is appropriate that
the extraordinarily wealthy and
successful hedge fund managers
should lead the effort to help
those less fortunate.
Charity has become such a
popular gig that the hippest
entity, the Clinton Foundation,
doesnt even have any money. It
simply coordinates efforts of the
worlds richest to fight poverty
and sickness, depending entire-
ly on the tireless efforts of the
suddenly apolitical Bill Clinton.
Who else could form a charita-
ble partnership between Barbra
Streisand and Rupert Murdoch?
This all demonstrates that
material success means little in
principle if not accompanied by
wisdom. Buffett has shown for
decades that he is one of the
smartest men in the world, but
only now has it become clear just
how wise he is. He knows that
all the personal wealth in the
world cannot obscure the fact
that millions live in unfathom-
able poverty.
The confluence of celebrity
and charity creates a wonder-
ful opportunity for students to
get involved at any level. Take
Buffetts example to heart. Think
about stopping next time you see
an organization asking for dona-
tions on Wescoe Beach, and give
what you can.
John. F. Kennedy once said,
If we cannot help the many who
are poor, we cannot save the few
who are rich. Lets be glad that
advice is in style again.
McKay Stangler for the edito-
rial board
It only takes me about 45 min-
utes to get to school every day I
come from Kansas City but I
might as well be entering another
universe.
Im out the door by 6 a.m. I take
Benton Boulevard to Independence
Avenue, past groups of young
teenagers waiting for buses to
take them to unaccredited high
schools that barely function. I take
Independence to Prospect, over-
looking a City Hall that has failed
its citizens educational needs for as
long as I can remember. From there,
its only a few minutes to the high-
way, where I pass through cities like
Mission, Leawood, Overland Park,
Olathe places with some of the
best public schools in the country.
By the time I reach Lawrence, the
place that I call home almost seems
like a distant memory. On most
days, I would be hard pressed to
find a fellow Kansas Citian among
my classmates. Meanwhile, JO
license plates are about as common
on campus as fake blondes and
motorized scooters (dont get me
started).
My drive to school each morning
reveals a central fact of life at the
University of Kansas, which goes
unnoticed by many students and
faculty: The University of Kansas
is a center of privilege in a starkly
divided nation.
Much of this privilege falls
on racial lines: Its no secret that
Johnson County is mostly white,
while Kansas City, Mo., is largely
black and Hispanic. The statistics
show as much. In a state with a
relatively small black population
(5.9 percent, about half the national
average) the percentage of black
students at the University is even
smaller, at 3 percent.
For Hispanics, the numbers are
even more staggering 3 percent
of the Universitys student body is
Hispanic-American, -while more
than 8 percent of the states popula-
tion is of Hispanic origin.
The University is not alone in
this predicament. A recent NPR
story reported that black enrollment
at UCLA has dropped nearly 60
percent in the decade since the state
outlawed the use of race in uni-
versity admissions. Situated in the
midst of a county with more than 1
million black residents, the number
of African-American students in
UCLAs incoming freshman class for
2006 is wait for it 96.
Higher education is just one area
in which the strides toward equal-
ity achieved during the Civil Rights
Era have been steadily, methodically
dismantled by the political descen-
dants of the old white resistance
to desegregation.
But race is not where the issue
ends in many ways, its not even
where it begins. Access to education
isnt a purely black and white issue.
Social class is a more hidden, but
just as present, factor in University
enrollment. It may even be said
that, at the end of the day, socio-
economic status is the final, deter-
mining factor of who makes the cut
at the University.
If I were a gambling man, Id bet
that wealthy people in areas with
top-notch school districts or
those who can afford private school
account for a disproportionate
chunk of the freshman class each
year, while low-income people
across the region, regardless of race,
send only a select few.
If the University of Kansas is to
be a university for all Kansans, as
well as for others across the country,
some big changes need to be made.
Education is the main pathway to
success and security in this country.
That path is blocked off for far too
many Americans. Unfortunately,
things are only getting worse. As
many students who rely on aid can
tell you, college is getting harder
and harder to pay for as the years
go by, largely because of recent cuts
in student loan programs under the
Bush administration.
Clearly, there are no easy answers
to this situation. In the minds of
some, no answer at all is needed,
because things are just as they
should be. I dont have the space
here to argue with people who
think that racism and inequality
are no longer issues, or that most
KU students are actually here solely
because of their merits. Youll
probably get laughed at for saying
that type of thing in my neighbor-
hood but like I said, this campus
and my neighborhood are universes
apart.
Wilkins is a Kansas City, Mo., se-
nior in history.
After smacking the snooze but-
ton for the fifth time, you just hap-
pen to squint at your alarm clock,
which is emitting its nails-on-chalk-
board screech, and realize that you
have 15 minutes to get to class.
Scrambling out of bed, you
come to your second realization of
the morning: Your midterm, the
one that counts for a third of your
grade, is today.
Tearing the room apart in search
for any pair of jeans, you glance out
the window just in time to watch
the last bus pull away, nearly mock-
ing the fabulous start to your day.
Uttering profanities under your
breath, you run down the hall to
your roommate and beg her to bor-
row her car. Half asleep, she points
to the keys on the floor and in a
slumbered mumble says, Good
luck starting the piece of junk.
You run out the door, and of
course what started as a drizzle of
rain has become a pouring shower,
perhaps to replace the one you
missed this morning. You spend the
next few minutes desperately trying
to start the piece of junk while
contemplating why you even both-
ered waking up.
Finally, only after waiting at
every stoplight and parking illegally,
you make it to class with less then
half-an-hour to take the exam.
Its these days, when nothing can
go right and everything that can
go wrong does, that you need to
remember one word: breath.
Its the days when you wake up
and remember the fight with your
significant other, when you and
your best friend are still not on talk-
ing terms, when you are still broke
and will be for at least another two
weeks, when you are so stressed
out with school and work that the
more there is to do, the shorter time
seems to become. The days you spill
coffee all over yourself just as you
finish the 12-page paper due in an
hour and at the exact moment you
hit print, the computer decides to
have a seizure and resolves to stop
working.
Yes, breathe. I am aware that this
action essential to life occurs more
than a dozen times a minute, but it
is also this essential action that you
have the ability to control. Yoga,
meditation, even playing a musical
instrument all require the control of
breath.
So inhale, exhale and consider
the situation at hand. Be it an every-
day dilemma, or a tragic event,
remember that all the problems we
encounter just need perspective.
You have control of every situ-
ation. While it may not seem like
it at the time, you are the only one
who can control your reactions and
as a result your actions to seem-
ingly uncontrollable circumstances.
While the world around may never
cease to spin less than a million
miles a minute, you still have the
ability to slow down and take a
breath.
Zoom in and out of your current
circumstances. Look at the little
picture. Is the situation so ridicu-
lous that the only thing left to do is
laugh about it? Or zoom out to the
big picture. What can you derive
from even the worst experience?
Think about all the things that
you value, and step back to realize
that just because a certain part of
your life is not working out exactly
as you hoped, the world goes on.
A well-known quote I first saw
on a bumper sticker of a car says
it all: Life is change, growth is
optional.
Pavlik is a Plano, Texas, sopho-
more in journalism.

KANSAS ALL AMERICAN SALAD
By JOHN HANNA
AssOciAted Press
TOPEKA Jim Barnett,
Nancy Boyda and David Haley
come from different hometowns
and different political parties, but
theyve all made illegal immi-
grants an issue as they attempt to
dislodge well-established incum-
bents from office.
Barnett, an Emporia Republican,
is challenging Democratic Gov.
Kathleen Sebelius, suggesting she
not only wont get tough with
illegal immigrants but will coddle
them.
Boyda, the Topeka Democrat
taking on Republican Rep. Jim
Ryun in the 2nd Congressional
District, has argued that his sup-
port this year for tough border
control legislation doesnt make
up for a decade of neglect on
immigration issues.
Haley, a Kansas City Democrat,
hopes to unseat Secretary of State
Ron Thornburgh and has picked
up arguments Thornburgh faced
in the Republican primary that
hes been so lax about voter fraud
that illegal immigrants might be
voting.
Its all evidence of Kansans
frustration over illegal immigra-
tion, particularly from Mexico.
Its fanned by concerns about the
economy, fears about national
security and, perhaps unfortu-
nately, some racism.
Illegal immigration hasnt been
an important issue in past con-
tests for governor or other state
offices. Even in congressional
races, it has seemed secondary,
except for the 3rd District race
in 2004, where Republican chal-
lenger Kris Kobach emphasized it
in his unsuccessful attempt to oust
Democratic incumbent Dennis
Moore.
The debate this past year in
Washington undoubtedly has
spurred voter interest. In fend-
ing off Barnetts criticism, Sebelius
has said immigration is an issue
because the federal government
isnt dealing with it adequately.
It starts with the border. Thats
where the problem lies, said
Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole
Corcoran. Washington needs to
step up.
Yet related policy issues for
states allow Barnett to talk about
immigration.
For example, Sebelius signed
a law in 2004 to allow some ille-
gal immigrants to qualify for the
lower tuition rates reserved for
legal Kansas residents at state uni-
versities and colleges, rather than
paying the rates for out-of-state
students.
The issue is perhaps more sym-
bolic than substantive. An immi-
grant must have lived in Kansas at
least three years and must either
seek or promise to seek legal resi-
dence. Only 221 students took
advantage of the law last year.
But its nevertheless a powerful
symbol of whats wrong for some
Kansans.
Illegal should mean illegal,
Barnett said. They are breaking
the law, and the governor wants to
reward them.
The question of whether illegal
immigrants might be voting in
Kansas elections touches both the
governors race and the secretary
of states.
Barnett criticizes Sebelius over
her veto in 2003 of a bill that,
among other things, would have
required all voters to show iden-
tification at the polls. She favored
a plan to require ID only from
new voters, which passed the next
year.
The Republican challenger
argues that requiring ID from all
voters will prevent illegal immi-
grants from voting, but Sebelius
and her supporters that similar
laws have been struck down by
judges in Georgia and Missouri.
In the secretary of states race,
Haleys issue isnt so much hav-
ing voters show ID as the care
Thornburgh and other election
officials have shown in monitor-
ing whos registering to vote. He
contends Thornburgh has been
inattentive.
Thornburgh has said fears
that illegal immigrants are vot-
ing are unfounded. He faced the
same criticism from Sen. Kay
OConnor, of Olathe, in the GOP
primary and captured 73 percent
of the vote. He also defeated Haley
soundly in 2002.
Perhaps the most intriguing
political dynamic is in the 2nd
District race, a rematch of the
2004 race.
Ryun supported legislation to
toughen border security and sub-
ject illegal immigrants to felony
charges.
AssOciAted Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. First there
was the crash that killed the three
crew members and 13 passengers
aboard TWA Flight 260.
Next, there was a report that
generated suspicion that the Kansas
City-based crew intentionally flew
the plane into the Sandia Mountains
shortly after taking off on Feb. 19,
1955, from the Albuquerque, N.W.,
airport.
Finally, last week, there was heal-
ing for the family of the victims as
they hiked to the scene of the crash
to remember and thank the man
who cleared the pilots of wrongdo-
ing in the crash.
God bless you, said Jana Childers
of Kansas City, who was 11 months
old when she lost her father, co-pilot
Jim Creason. There are no words.
Just, thank you.
The subject of her thanks was
Larry DeCelles.
A fellow TWA pilot from Kansas
City, he was shocked when an initial
report about the crash noted excel-
lent weather and went on to include
this damming sentence: From all
available evidence, and the lack of
any evidence to the contrary, the
board can conclude only that the
direct course taken by the flight was
intentional.
Civil Aeronautics Board authori-
ties later said they were suggest-
ing only that perhaps the pilots
Creason, 29, and Ivan Spong, 44
tried to take a shortcut.

Almost one year since his last start, Barmann makes immediate impact
By RyAn SchnEidER
Adam Barmann looked sharp
in Saturdays victory against South
Florida.
Believe it or not, that could mean
a whole lot of trouble for Mark
Mangino.
Barmann, who played for injured
starter Kerry Meier, arguably put
together the best game of his career.
He completed nearly 70 percent of
his passes and threw for a career-
high 273 yards in Kansas 13-7 vic-
tory. The senior quarterback looked
poised, confident and made few
mistakes.
For the first time in years,
Mangino entered the season with
a set starter at quarterback. Meiers
position, however, may be up for
grabs after Barmanns perfor-
mance.
Even though he hadnt started a
game in nearly a year, Barmann ran
the offense with relative ease. He
made passes down the field, con-
verted key third downs and, most
importantly, didnt throw the ball to
the other team.
I feel like theres so many things
that Ive seen and so many things
that Ive gone through in my career,
Barmann said. I just feel a little
more comfortable back there now.
Barmann struggled the last time
he saw any significant action. In
last seasons loss to Kansas State,
Barmann misfired on numerous
passes, throwing high or wide of his
intended receivers. He also had a
fumble and was nearly intercepted.
But it was a completely different
Barmann Saturday night.
He looked comfortable in the
pocket, leading Kansas on three
scoring drives. Not known as a run-
ning quarterback, Barmann also
executed the option to near perfec-
A stopwatch might not have
been the best way to keep track
of how much time South Florida
quarterback Matt Grothe had to
make his throws.
You could have used an hour-
glass, or maybe a sundial. Even
one of those word-a-day calendars
would have worked.
If thats what Kansas defensive
coordinator Bill Young is using,
Jayhawk fans should hope todays
word is blitz, as in, The Jayhawks
have yet to seriously commit to the
blitz this season.
This isnt to take anything away
from Grothe, who made some
amazing throws for South Florida
in a losing effort, but Kansas cannot
continue to leave the quarterback
alone and hope to succeed in Big 12
Conference play.
When the defense did rush, it
was usually able to get to Grothe,
although getting sacks was some-
thing that eluded the Jayhawks.
Weve got adequate pres-
sure, coach Mark Mangino said.
Weve just got to wrap those
guys up and bring them to the
ground.
The lack of pressure came
back to bite the Jayhawks in what
should be one of the most sure-
thing situations as a defender:
third and long. South Florida con-
verted on third downs from dis-
tances of 1, 4, 6, 6, 9, 9, 10 and 11

By BEtty kASPAR
The theme for the softball team
during its fall schedule is to learn
from its mistakes and get better every
day.
After this weekends Fall Jayhawk
Classic, the players are sticking to it.
We did well. I think we did better
today than we did yesterday. We are
going to get better each day, fresh-
man pitcher Sarah Vertelka said.
After playing four games, Kansas
finished the weekend 3-1.
Saturday Kansas dominated
the first game of the tournament
by run-ruling Pittsburg State 11-2.
Senior Kassie Humphreys pitched
against the Gorillas, got into trouble
in the fifth inning and gave up the
only two runs of the afternoon. The
game ended when Sophomore Stevie
Crisosto hit a two-run home run that
caused the run-rule to go into effect.
In the second game on Saturday,
Missouri Western defeated Kansas
2-1. The team scored its only run in
the fourth inning off of a Missouri
Western error. The Griffons answered
in the bottom of the seventh with a
game-ending walk-off home run.
We want that loss to sit in their
craw and not let them ever think
too much of themselves at this time,
coach Tracy Bunge said. Sometimes
losses are the best thing for a team,
sometimes for a young team you
have to pound it in their head you
cant show up against anybody you
have to come out ready to play every
time.
Although Kansas lost the game,
Bunge was still impressed with soph-
omore Valerie Georges pitching per-
formance.
Valerie George didnt get many
chances last season behind Serena
Settlemier and Kassie Humphreys,
Bunge said. It was nice to see her
throw the ball as well as she did with
confidence.
The Jayhawks defeated the
Gorillas again Sunday 8-0. The game
ended at the bottom of the fifth
with a home run from freshman first
baseman Amanda Jobe that caused
the run rule to go into effect again.
Bunge was very pleased with
Vertelkas shutout-pitching perfor-
mance in the game. In the last game
of the tournament, Kansas defeated
Butler Community College 10-3. The
team capitalized early in the game by
scoring five of its 10 runs in the first
inning. Humphreys pitched the first
three innings, and didnt give up a
hit. Freshman utility player Caitlin
Kenney pitched three innings, and
gave up three runs. George came in
to close the game in the seventh and
struck out the first three batters.
Against Butler, the team had no
errors.
During the tournament, Bunge
felt the Jayhawks performance was a
little shaky because of inexperience,
but was very pleased with the teams
final outing for the weekend.
We are excited about our talent
and we are excited about what we
can do. We feel our pitching staff
is going to be our strength, Bunge
said. I think we are going to surprise
people offensively, and I think a lot of
people will look past us. I am excited
for the year.

With a two-game lead going
into the fourth game, the wheels
came off for the Kansas volleyball
team and Colorado cruised to a
victory on Saturday.
It was a game we could of and
should of won, Katie Martincich,
freshman setter, said. A lot of
things were going our way; they
really just took it away from us.
The Jayhawks (8-5, 1-3 Big 12)
were defeated by the Buffaloes (7-
4, 3-1) in five games, 28-30, 30-
22, 30-20, 19-30, 7-15 in Boulder,
Colo.
Up 2-1 after three games, Kansas
let Colorado back into the match
in game four when Colorado had a
.515 hitting efficiency compared to
Kansas .194.
Jana Correa, senior outside hit-
ter, said, We had the effort, but we
couldnt execute.
After losing game four, Kansas
was taken out of its system and
Colorado was able to finish game
five without much trouble.
Kansas committed six errors in
the last game, leading to a team-
low -.100 hitting efficiency.
The fifth game is a game where
you cant make errors, Correa said.
They won because they didnt
make errors, so you cant allow
yourself to make errors.
By losing both of their Big 12
Conference road matches so far
this season, the Jayhawks must
win when they play at Texas
Tech Wednesday both to build
confidence in a team that hasnt
won two conference matches this
season and because the Jayhawks
opponent has struggled all season.
Texas Tech is winless in confer-
ence play.
Last night was a tough night
for us, so we just woke up today
and thought about the next game,
Correa said. We must win.
Despite the loss, Jayhawk coach
Ray Bechard said the team excelled
in the two areas they most wanted
to excel in serving and block-
ing.
Kansas out-blocked Colorado
16 to 11. They also had a season-
high eight serving aces, with just
five serving errors.
We had some opportunities, but
we didnt respond as well, Bechard
said. We were in complete control,
so its just unfortunate we couldnt
play long enough.
Bechard said the teams passing
was an area where they need to
improve on as Colorado had 13
serving aces against Kansas.
Correa led Kansas with 18
kills on a .349 hitting efficiency.
Savannah Noyes, sophomore
middle blocker, and Emily Brown,
junior right side hitter/setter, also
tallied double-digit kills, 16 and 11
respectively. Martincich led Kansas
with 51 assists on the night.
The reigning Big 12 Player
of the Week, Colorados Amber
Sutherland, led her team to the vic-
tory with 18 kills and three serving
aces.
It was a great match, a lot of
quality volleyball, Bechard said.
Next up, Kansas plays at Texas
Tech Wednesday. The team returns
to Lawrence Sept. 30 to take on
Iowa State.

ND rebounds late
to defeat Michigan
EAST LANSING, Mich. Trail-
ing by 17 points at halftime, Notre
Dame faced a sobering reality: A
season that began with so much
promise was about to be derailed
by a second straight defeat.
Coming of a blowout loss to
Michigan, the Irish looked beaten
again still down 16 going into
the fourth quarter. Meanwhile,
Michigan State looked unstop-
pable in front of a fred-up crowd.
I think that at halftime the guys
realized the season was starting
to fall away for us, Notre Dame
coach Charlie Weis said. Everyone
could feel the same thing. After
the game we played last week, and
now were down big at halftime ...
it was basically Hey fellas, whats
it gonna be? Are we just going to
be a bunch of also-rans or are we
going to come out here and give it
a chance to win the game?
In stunning fashion, the Irish
stepped up.
Cornerback Terrail Lambert
capped a furious rally by return-
ing an interception 27 yards for a
touchdown with 2:53 remaining to
give the 12th-ranked Fighting Irish
a 40-37 victory over the Spartans
on Saturday night.
That the decisive plays came
from the Irish defense, exposed in
the loss to the Wolverines and for
much of the game Saturday, may
have been the biggest surprise.
Give all the credit to Notre
Dame, Michigan State running
back Javon Ringer said. They
stepped up when they had to.

Colorful language
concerns of cials
NEW YORK Of-color lan-
guage used in recruiting fiers for
the Columbia University mens
ice hockey team has triggered a
concerned response from student
government representatives and
Athletic Department of cials.
On Thursday night, the presi-
dents of Columbias four under-
graduate councils sent a joint letter
to several University administrators
asking them to take action regard-
ing the language. The fiers, which
the team posted during orientation
week, included the phrase Stop
being a p----.
Team leaders apologized for the
wording in the fiers.
We made an error in judg-
ment with regard to the Columbia
campus, team President M. Fergus
Glynn, and Vice President Zachary
Phillips said in a statement. We
truly had no intentions to ofend
anyone or to make fun of women.
We were merely trying to make a
clever and humorous fier ... that
would garner more interest.
In a statement released on
Thursday, M. Dianne Murphy,
director of Intercollegiate Athletics
and Physical Education, expressed
disappointment with the teams ac-
tions, adding that it did not receive
the approval of the Department of
Intercollegiate Athletics and Physi-
cal Education before posting the
advertisement.

Saints move back
to home stadium
NEW ORLEANS Another sem-
blance of normalcy returns to New
Orleans tonight.
For the frst time since the dev-
astation brought on by Hurricane
Katrina, the Superdome hosts
a football game when the New
Orleans Saints meet the Atlanta
Falcons in a matchup of 2-0 NFC
South rivals.
In August 2005, the Superdome
was a worldwide focal point of the
damage and chaos from one of the
strongest hurricanes in American
history, which killed nearly 2,000
people. Katrinas winds ripped the
roof from the stadium, and some
30,000 refugees eventually were
sheltered there.
By the time the last of those
survivors left almost a week later,
the stadium - the host for six Super
Bowls and a papal Mass - was a
wreck.
That forced the Saints to play
their home games last year in San
Antonio, Baton Rouge, La. - and
one game against the New York Gi-
ants in East Rutherford, N.J., which
was considered a home contest
for the Saints even though it was
played at Giants Stadium.
With $184 million in grants from
federal and state agencies and the
NFL, the stadium was scrubbed
down, rebuilt and refurbished. On
Tuesday, the team announced it
has sold out the entire regular-
season home schedule for the frst
time since its inception in 1967.

Europe captures
third-straight cup
STRAFFAN, Ireland Favorites
or underdogs in the Ryder Cup, it
doesnt matter to the Europeans.
They boasted of having their
best team ever, then backed it up
in dominant fashion by turning the
Ryder Cup into another rout Sun-
day to win for an unprecedented
third straight time.
Luke Donald holed a 10-foot par
putt that gave Europe 14 points,
all it needed to keep the shiny
gold trophy. Moments later, Henrik
Stenson closed out his match to
give his team an outright victory,
and the celebration was on.
It was the frst time in the 79-
year history of the Ryder Cup that
Europe won outright three straight
times. Going for three in a row in
1989, they settled for tie to retain
the cup.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
Detroit Tigers fought off their late-
season slump and clinched their
first playoff berth since 1987, scor-
ing nine runs in the second inning
Sunday and coasting to an 11-4 win
over the Kansas City Royals.
Enjoying a turnaround season
under new manager Jim Leyland,
Detroit assured itself of no-worse
than the AL wild-card berth and
headed into the final week of the sea-
son with a 1 1/2-game lead in the AL
Central. The Tigers, who regained
the best record in the major leagues
at 94-62, went ahead early for the
second straight day, following up on
Saturdays 10-run first.
Craig Monroe hit a three-run
homer that gave Justin Verlander
(17-9) an 8-0 lead and chased
starter Runelvys Hernandez (6-10).
Brandon Inge then homered on
Todd Wellemeyers first pitch.
Detroits last trip to the postsea-
son was 1987, when the Tigers won
the AL East and lost to Minnesota
4-1 in the AL championship series.
The Tigers set an American
League record for losses in 2003,
going 43-119, then improved to 72-
90 in 2004. But Detroit went 71-91
last season, losing 29 of its last 39
games en route to its 12th straight
sub-.500 finish. General manager
Dave Dombrowski replaced man-
ager Alan Trammell with Leyland,
who teamed with him to lead the
1997 Florida Marlins to a World
Series title.
Leyland had not managed since
1999 with the Colorado Rockies.
In addition during the offseason,
the Tigers added free-agent pitcher
Kenny Rogers, who anchored a staff
that included Verlander, Joel Zumaya
and Zach Miner. Detroits offense
already had been rebuilt somewhat
with the signing of catcher Ivan
Rodriguez after the 2003 season and
Magglio Ordonez after the 2004 sea-
son. The Tigers also acquired short-
stop Carlos Guillen from Seattle in
January 2004.
Detroit spurted at the start of
this season, taking over sole posses-
sion of the division lead on May 21
and staying in first place ever since.
The Tigers opened a season-high
10-game margin on Aug. 7, when
they were a major league-best 76-36,
but then went 15-26 before arriv-
ing at Kansas City for the weekend
series with their division lead down
to a half-game over second-place
Minnesota.
The Tigers swept the Royals,
extending Kansas Citys losing streak
to six. The Royals must win four of
their last seven games to avoid their
third straight 100-loss season and
fourth in five years.
Curtis Grandersons sacrifice fly
and Magglio Ordonezs two-run,
two-out single put the Tigers ahead
3-0, and Carlos Guillen and Matt
Stairs followed with RBI singles,
Hernandez allowed eight runs,
seven hits and two walks in two-
thirds of an inning, but just one of
the runs was earning because of a
throwing error by third baseman
Jeff Keppinger on Omar Infantes
sacrifice.

thing possible this season to make
sure Kansas does not end up on the
wrong end of a weekend sweep.
The sophomore forward came
through again Sunday, scoring the
game-winning goal in the 68th
minute against Oklahoma to give
Kansas a 1-0 victory.
It was the second week in a row
that Bush scored a pivotal goal
to prevent the Jayhawks (6-3, 1-1)
from losing both of their week-
end games. She had the second
goal in Kansas 2-0 victory against
Central Florida last efforts Sunday
proved even more important. With
the Jayhawks reeling after a double-
overtime loss Friday and facing
an 0-2 hole in Big 12 play, Bush
helped her team to victory again
after receiving a pass from fresh-
man forward Shannon McCabe.
McCabe took the ball on the
defensive side of the midline. She
dribbled it nearly the length of the
field before sliding the ball to Bush,
who was lined up on the opposite
side of the box. Bush took the ball
and dribbled once before firing it
into the upper-right corner of the
net.
Bushs second goal of the year
was the highlight of a second half in
which Kansas outplayed Oklahoma.
Kansas offense ripped off nine
shots after only three shots in the
first half.
Unlike the offense, the defense
played in top form all 90 minutes.
Defenders held the Sooners to 12
shots for the game and only four in
the decisive second half. Sophomore
goalkeeper Julie Hanley notched
four saves, earning her third shut-
out of the season. Only one shot
has escaped the grip of Hanley the
last three games.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks,
that one shot mattered a great deal.
It allowed Oklahoma State to defeat
Kansas in double overtime 1-0
Friday night.
The Jayhawks had their best
chances to win in the first overtime.
They had five shots in the first
overtime and held the Cowgirls
to zero. Opportunites kept sailing
away from the net, however, and
Oklahoma State finally capitalized
in the 106th minute.
The ball skipped away from the
hands of Hanley and near the feet
of Cowgirl Yolanda Odenyo, who
easily knocked it in for the game-
winning goal.
We had the better chances
and left it on the field for sure,
Kansas coach Mark Francis said.
Unfortunately, they had that lucky
bounce with about five minutes
left.
Kansas has two more tough
road games this weekend when
they travel to play Creighton and
Nebraska.

quotable
I feel like I am just
another piece of the
puzzle.
AdamBarmann
He just saws wood
and he does his job,
and obviously he did
his job tonight.
David Ochoa, on
Barmann.
I thought we were
going to score on the
last drive. We came in
here expecting to win
and we didnt.
USF coach JimLeavitt
It was over when
South Florida quarterback
Matt Grothes pass to Taurus
Johnson fell incomplete in-
side the fve-yard line late in
the fourth quarter.
Johnson dropped a pass
that would have put the
Bulls in a position to score,
with nearly 30 seconds left
in the game.
Game ball goes to
Adam Barmann. The senior
quarterback came in and
played well in relief of the
injured Meier. Barmann
threw for a career-high 273
yards passing and main-
tained his poise throughout
the game.
If Meier isnt healthy, look
for Barmann to once again
get the starting nod in the
conference opener against
Nebraska.
Game to forget
Junior punter Kyle Tucker
has had a rough start to the
season and that trend con-
tinued Saturday.
Tucker averaged only 33
yards on his three punts. He
booted a critical punt into
the end zone, instead of pin-
ning USF deep in their own
territory.
Tucker, a Ray Guy Award
preseason nominee, has av-
eraged 38 yards a punt this
season.
Stat of the game
Kansas had 10 penalties for
70 yards against USF. After
having a combined six pen-
alties in its frst two games,
Kansas now has 22 penalties
in its last two games.
The Jayhawks are the ffth
most penalized team in the
Big 12.
Four weeks into the
season, Kansas is halfway
to the six victories need-
ed for a bowl. How do the
Jayhawks postseason
chances look?
The Jayhawks
chances to become
bowl eligible for the
second year in a row
look decent because of their
schedule. Texas is replaced with
Oklahoma State, and Colorado
isnt what it used to be. The team
found a way to win a tough game
and bounce back on Saturday
before it heads to Nebraska next
week. The Jayhawks will continue
to build momentum throughout
a relatively painless Big 12 Con-
ference schedule.
Daniel C. Weixeldorfer
With only three
more victories need-
ed for a bowl, the
Jayhawks, a completely diferent
team at Memorial Stadium, have
four winnable home games on
the schedule. Theres no reason
to think they cant win three of
these. If they can keep up their
improved play in the secondary
and can win the turnover battle,
theres no reason to think they
cannot win a road game as well.
Seven wins is suddenly looking
realistic.
Kayvon Sarraf
Kansas isnt go-
ing to be playing in a
big time bowl, but it
should qualify for the
postseason. Winning three out of
eight shouldnt be too tough, es-
pecially without Oklahoma and
Texas on the schedule. In a worst-
case scenario, the Jayhawks
postseason chances will depend
on a victory at Missouri in the last
game of the season.
Kyle Carter
By thegraceof the
scheduling gods, an
average Kansas team
will most likely reach
the postseason. Even if the Jay-
hawks cannot manage to win on
the road at Baylor, four winnable
home games remain on the slate.
If Kansas doesnt emerge froman
easy conference schedule with a
.500 mark or better, the decision
to extend Mark Manginos con-
tract will look like a mistake. Fans
should expect a bowl this year.
Asher Fusco
The Jayhawks
can win just three
of their remaining
four home games
and become bowl eligible. More-
over, a forgiving schedule rota-
tion has the Jayhawks playing
Baylor, Texas A&Mand Oklahoma
State from the Big 12 South this
year. If the defense continues to
improve and the ofense fnds its
rhythm, the Jayhawks should be
bowling.

up or down
By SHAWn SHrOyer
Pressure situations were nothing
new to Matt Grothe. Losing was.
With games on the line this sea-
son, Grothe, South Floridas fresh-
man quarterback, had excelled. Hed
already thrown three game-deciding
touchdown passes this season. His
last two game-winning touchdown
passes came on what could have been
his teams final drives. So with South
Florida down six with 66 seconds to
go, Grothe didnt expect his last pass
of the game to be an interception.
There was a couple plays on that
last drive, where if I would have
thrown it just a little bit shorter a
completion here, a completion there
but its over, Grothe said. Its
over.
Grothes numbers on Saturday
didnt live up to the ones that made
him the best freshman quarterback
in the nation, going 17-for-32 for 196
yards, and an interception at the end
of each half. But he had moments
that showed his performance against
Kansas was an exception, not the
rule.
Onfive of SouthFloridas 10drives,
Grothe took at least four snaps with-
out facing a third down, exhibiting
his knack for forcing defenses to stay
on their toes.
He also converted on eight of 15
third down plays, converting seven
of 10 in the second half, proving his
ability to maintain drives.
Grothe even displayed his scram-
bling ability. While sophomore run-
ning back Benjamin Williams man-
aged just 10 rushing yards, Grothe
went off for 66 and a touchdown.
However, the lasting impression
Grothe left was that if theres time
remaining on the clock, he has a
chance to lead his team down the
field. At the end of the first half, he
took the Bulls 39 yards in a little
more than 20 seconds. At the end
of the game, he carried the offense
34 yards in less than a minute. Both
times he put South Florida in scor-
ing position, but savvy scouting on
Kansas side led to two interceptions.
We watched film of him every
day, Kansas freshman cornerback
Anthony Webb said. We noticed
with this quarterback here, he likes
to stare down one side. When he
looks at one side, hes going to go to
that side.
Not only did Kansas discover
Grothes tendency to stare down
receivers, they found he usual-
ly locked in on the same receiver,
senior Ean Randolph, who entered
Saturdays game as South Floridas
leading receiver. This knowledge
came in handy for Kansas through-
out the game, especially on South
Floridas last drive of the game.
Grothe began the last drive with
two straight incomplete passes. The
second was in Randolphs direction
and was nearly picked off by sopho-
more linebacker Mike Rivera. Grothe
went to Randolph again to convert
on third down, but they wouldnt
connect again. Of Grothes last three
passes, only Kansas freshman free
safety Justin Thornton caught one.
We definitely moved the ball on
them, but we just couldnt capitalize
on a couple things, Grothe said.
In addition to learning Grothes
tendencies, Kansas learned what
defensive alignment to use to prevent
him from claiming his third fourth-
quarter comeback.
They won a game-winning
touchdown in a similar situation,
but we lined up in a different defense
than the team lined up in last week,
Kansas sophomore cornerback Aqib
Talib said. It would have been a little
bit harder for them to run the verti-
cal stuff because we had two people
over the top.
Game filmworked against Grothe
this week, but hell use that same
tape to critique himself and make
sure he succeeds in his next pressure
situation.

Barmann starts as
Meier stands on sideline
Freshman quarterback Kerry
Meier sat out Saturdays game
after sufering an undisclosed
injury in the loss to Toledo. Prior
to Saturdays game against South
Florida, senior quarterback Adam
Barmann took all the snaps with
the frst-team ofense. Meier took
the feld, in uniform, moments
before kickof, but stood on the
sidelines wearing a baseball cap
the entire game. He is currently
listed as day-to-day.
Coach Mark Mangino said he
decided late Thursday night that
Meier would not play against
South Florida.
He just couldnt go, Mangino
said. He just couldnt throw the
ball.
Last week, Mangino said Meier
was injured early in the fourth
quarter of the Toledo game after
having his right arm driven into
the turf.
Following Saturdays game,
Mangino said Meier would be
reevaluated later this week.
Ryan Schneider
tion on Kansas lone touchdown
drive of the game. Barmann ran to
the right side of the field, pitching
the ball to senior running back
Jon Cornish, who ran downfield
for 13 yards. He also nearly had
a touchdown pass in the second
quarter, but wide receiver Marcus
Henry fumbled the ball in the end
zone. USF recovered the ball for a
touchback.
Other than a fumble in the
second quarter, Mangino said
Barmann played a nearly flawless
game.
The thing I liked about Adam
tonight was he looked confident
throwing the ball, Mangino said.
He just sat in the pocket and he
read the routes, got his progres-
sions and delivered the ball. That
shows you hes capable. Hes always
been capable.
Meier, who injured his right
arm in last weeks loss to Toledo,
was evaluated throughout the week
by doctors and Mangino and it
was decided late Thursday night
that Barmann would get the start-
ing nod. After Saturdays game,
Mangino said he didnt know if
Meier would be available next
Saturday.
Even if he is, itll be hard for
Mangino to ignore Barmanns
impressive performance.
With the beginning of Big
12 Conference play looming on
Saturday against the Nebraska
Cornhuskers, Mangino may have
a quarterback controversy on his
hands.
It would be nothing new,
though. Mangino has had to deal
with rotating several quarterbacks
in each of the past three seasons.
After the game, Mangino refused
to discuss any possible change at
quarterback.
I havent even taken a show-
er yet, Mangino said. Im not
going to give that much thought
tonight.
The situation will have to be
addressed eventually, though.
While Kansas offense certainly
wasnt perfect on Saturday night,
it ran as smoothly as it has in a
long time.
The Jayhawks had three wide
receivers Brian Murph, Marcus
Henry and Dexton Fields with
at least 50 yards. Cornish had an
average night, rushing for 105
yards on 26 carries. He got a major-
ity of those yards, 35 of them, on a
tackle-breaking run in the fourth
quarter.
Barmanns performance cer-
tainly provided a spark for Kansas,
coming off an emotional double-
overtime loss last week. That
momentum will be important,
especially in Lincoln on Saturday.
The main thing is we took a
bunch of kids that lost a tough
game on the road last week and
came back and played a very, very
good football team here, Mangino
said. That tells you a little bit
about the character of our kids and
does provide a boost from us going
up to Nebraska.
Football Notes:
-Junior kicker Scott Webb made
two field goals Saturday after start-
ing the season 0-for-2. Webb made
kicks of 37 and 42 yards, respec-
tively.
-Cornerback Aqib Talib said
that he felt better playing in his
second game after being suspended
to start the season, and that he was
able to get into the flow of the game
easier. He also addressed his stand-
ing with Mangino.
Were on good terms. Were real
good right now, he said. Me and
coach have always been good.
-Junior tight end Marc Jones
and freshman cornerback Anthony
Webb made their first starts against
USF. Jones started in place of
senior wide receiver Brian Murph,
and Webb started for junior Blake
Bueltel. Also in the secondary,
freshman Justin Thornton started
for junior Sadiq Muhammed, who
Mangino said was not 100 per-
cent.
-Kansas created a turnover
for the first time in two weeks.
The Jayhawks got turnovers off
an interception by sophomore cor-
nerback Aqib Talib and a fumble
recovery by senior defensive line-
man Paul Como.
-Kansas and South Florida were
tied scoreless at the end of the first
half. It was the first time a Jayhawk
game had been scoreless after two
periods since 1980, when Kansas
was scoreless after the second
quarter with Oregon. That game in
Eugene, Ore., ended tied at seven.
-With the victory, Kansas has
won a school-record nine straight
home games at Memorial Stadium.
The team is only one off the Big
12 record. Texas Tech has the lead
with 10 straight home victories.

South Florida QB new to losing

4, 6, 6, 9, 9, 10 and 11 yards. Six

of those eight situations qualify as
third-and-long, a play the offense
should never be allowed to convert.
Early in the season, it was obvi-
ous why the Jayhawks didnt blitz.
Their secondary wasnt getting the
job done, and the team couldnt risk
giving up a big play by leaving an
inexperienced cornerback stranded.
Now there is more stability at
the position. Safety Jerome Kemp
is looking healthier every week.
Cornerback Sadiq Muhammed
missed Saturdays game with a nag-
ging injury, but is expected to return
this week. Most importantly, corner-
back Aqib Talib is back, and has re-
established himself as a player who
opposing quarterbacks must throw
away from. He said hes not opposed
to the blitz.
Were trying to call more plays
and mix it up, he said. However
long weve got to cover, were going
to cover.
Defensive end Paul Como said the
defense installed some new schemes
for this game, and thought that when
the unit tried to put pressure on the
quarterback, it worked out well.
Its always nice running in there
to try to go get the quarterback,
he said. Ive just got to tackle him
when I get through, instead of run-
ning by him.
That will happen. Como and the
rest of the line will fix that this week
in practice. The question is whether
or not they will be allowed to go after
quarterback Zac Taylor next week at
Nebraska.
If they arent, Youngs calendar
might have a different word.
Blowout.

nalism. He is the Kansan sports

QB Simms
has spleen
removed
BY FRED GOODALL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla. Tampa Bay
quarterback Chris Simms had his
spleen removed after taking sev-
eral hard hits in 26-24 loss to the
Carolina Panthers and was resting
comfortably in a hospital Sunday
night.
There was no immediate word
on how long the fourth-year pro
might be sidelined.
The recuperation time for a nor-
mal person is four to six weeks,
though its unclear how long it
might take to heal enough to play
football.
Chris is doing well and we
anticipate a full recovery, team
physician Dr. Joe Diaco said in
a brief statement, adding the 26-
year-old son of former New York
Giants quarterback Phil Simms
was in stable condition.
Simms had a blood transfusion
as part of his treatment and was
expected to be hospitalized for sev-
eral days, Peter King said during
a break on NBCs Sunday Night
Football, citing a conversation the
Sports Illustrated reporter had with
Simms mother, Diana Simms.
The spleen is an organ located
in the upper left side of the abdo-
men, storing blood and breaking
down old blood cells to help the
body fight infections. Many people
live productive, healthy lives with-
out it.
Simms, who left the game
briefly but returned, was taken to
St. Josephs Hospital, a few blocks
from Raymond James Stadium.
Coach Jon Gruden said during
his postgame news conference that
Simms hurt his ribs early in the
game and was also battling dehy-
dration.

nicholson not using movie
as inspiration for remake
HONG KONG Actor Jack Nich-
olson told a Hong Kong newspaper
that he avoided watching the local
crime thriller Infernal Afairs when
he was shooting the Hollywood
remake, The Departed, directed
by Martin Scorsese.
I wanted to concentrate on
Scorseses movie, and what it
was going to become as we went
through the process, Nicholson
was quoted as saying in the
Sunday edition of the South China
Morning Post.
We were reconceiving as we
went and, from the beginning,
thats what made this diferent, he
said.
Infernal Afairs, which starred
Cannes best actor winner Tony
Leung Chiu-wai and Hong Kong
heartthrob Andy Lau, is about a
police ofcer who goes undercover
in a Hong Kong gang and a local
gangster who infltrates the police.
