A small group of KU faculty and stu-
dents gathered in silence this weekend at
Ecumencial Christian Ministries for Silent
Saturday.
Participants were encouraged to read,
work on homework, write or even sleep
while being completely silent. The group
started at noon on Saturday, had a break to
visit about the silent experience and then
continued to participate in the silence until
a dinner at 7 p.m.
Thad Holcombe, ECM campus minis-
ter, said that in todays frantic life, it was
important to incorporate small moments
of silence into our daily lives to work out
stress, worries or other internal clutter.
Holcombe said no cell phones, iPods or
verbal communication gave people the
opportunity to reflect about themselves
and what was going on in their lives.

Italians...seemed never to

WilliamKennedy
Oil was formed from the
remains of animals and plants
that lived millions of years ago
in a marine environment before
the dinosaurs. Over the years,
the remains were covered by
layers of mud. Heat and pres-
sure from these layers helped
the remains turn into what we
today call crude oil.

Spotlight
on
Organizations
Amitabha
Buddhist
Association
BY AMRUTA BHADKAMKAR
editor@kansan.com
The Amitabha Buddhist
Association, a student organization
on campus, allows its members to
practice meditation and spiritualism
but doesnt teach about any particular
religious views.
Adam Schaumburg, Prairie Village
senior and the president of the group,
said the group was designed to further
peoples practice with meditation, and
specifically chanting meditation. He
said that students with any religious
views could join.
I believe it is a process to uncover
more about oneself and be able to
keep ones mind sharp and strong,
Schaumburg said. We call it the
Amitabha Buddhist Association
because the original founders of the
group have respectfully mimicked
the meditation process from Taiwan
known as the Pureland School of
Buddhism.
The associations meetings start
with walking meditation and then
chanting meditation for a total of one
hour of meditation.
Schaumburg said members of the
group usually stayed after meetings
to discuss individual progress or to
socialize. Major topics of discussion
revolve around how to handle stress
in everyday life, how to actually enjoy
the moment and how to get fulfillment
in their lives.
I was fortunate to stumble upon
the group while I was in high school
visiting my brother, Schaumburg said.
I had read something about medita-
tion and became interested, and ended
up using it as a partial method to stop
my smoking habit and to lose weight
in other words, just to discipline
myself and change things around.
The group is open to anyone and
meets at 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays in the
Olympian Room in the Burge Union.

Wallace Johnson service
to be held today in Union
Today, University of Kansas
students will have a chance
to share stories about a KU
professor who was famous for
his stories.
A memorial service will
be held on campus today for
Wallace Wally Johnson, a
professor in the department of
east Asian language and culture
who was best known for his
class about myths and legends
of eastern Asia.
Sanae Eda, assistant profes-
sor in east Asian language
and culture, said that the
service was meant to be upbeat
and would include some of
Johnsons favorite music.
She said it was an opportu-
nity for KU students, faculty and
staf to refect on Johnsons life.
Eda said that it also would be an
opportunity for his wife to hear
from students about the difer-
ence that Johnson, who taught
at the University for 42 years,
made as a professor.
Johnson died of a reported
heart attack on Oct. 24 at age
74.
The memorial service is
today from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
in Alderson Auditorium in the
Kansas Union. It is open to all
members of the KU community.

Students go green
for awareness week
BY ERIN SOMMER
esommer@kansan.com
Students may find that the
University appears a little greener
this week.
KU students will bike, recycle and
fry chicken for Energy Awareness
Week, which kicks off today.
Lauren Licata, Lenexa senior
and president of the Alternative
Energy Society, said that the group,
along with several other student
organizations, will host events
throughout the week to help edu-
cate KU students about environ-
mental causes.
We wanted to make our presence
known on campus, Licata said.
Jeff Severin, director of the Center
for Sustainability, said this was the
first time multiple student groups
had come together for a whole week
of environmental awareness. He said
the week would allow environmen-
tal awareness to be reinforced.
There are small things that
everyone can do to make a differ-
ence, Severin said.
Severin said he was especially
excited for the reusable bag pro-
gram. Today, reusable bags con-
taining information about the envi-
ronment and coupons to Lawrence
businesses will be passed out
around campus. Severin said that,
in addition to serving the environ-
ment, the program also helped local
businesses.
Highlights of the week also
include a showing of the film
Kilowatt Ours on Tuesday
and a roundtable discussion on
Wednesday.
Recycling services will be offered
on campus Thursday at Memorial
Stadium and Friday at the Student
Recreation and Fitness Center.
On Friday, the Alternative
Energy Society will fry chicken for
KU students on Wescoe Beach to
collect vegetable oil and to turn it
into biodiesel fuel.
Licata said that it was important
for KU students to learn what they
could do to help the environment.
I think every generation has
an issue. This is ours, Licata said.
People need to start realizing that.

Protesters arrested after
blocking Army shipments
OLYMPIA, Wash. At least a
dozen people were arrested as
demonstrators rallied to protest
military cargo shipments arriving
from Iraq at the port in the state
capital.
The arrests Saturday came a day
after protesters were able to stop
two trucks from removing military
equipment that had been un-
loaded from a ship coming from
Iraq. The equipment was bound
for Fort Lewis, an Army base near
Olympia.
Nine protesters were arrested
Saturday for investigation of
violating the citys pedestrian in-
terference ordinance, but all were
later released without being cited,
said police Sgt. Ken Carlson.
Protesters on foot blocked
trafc downtown at about noon
Saturday by jumping in front of
large trucks towing cargo contain-
ers carrying equipment. But police
in riot gear moved in quickly,
spraying pepper spray in protest-
ers faces, pushing them with their
batons and dragging them away
from the road.
At least three people were ar-
rested at that location, and at least
nine more were arrested when
they tried to block an entrance to
Interstate 5.
The protest was part of a week
of demonstrations by Olympia
Port Militarization Resistance,
which has protested the ports use
by the USNS Brittin, which landed
Monday to unload equipment that
was used in Iraq.
Police Cmdr. Tor Bjornstad said
ofcers asked the protesters to
move before using pepper spray
and batons.

CLAIM #1: Why are these men smiling? (Russias
Putin, Venezuelas Chavez and Irans Ahmadinejad)
Because the recent decision by the Sebelius
Administration means Kansas will import more
natural gas from countries like Russia, Venezuela
and Iran.
C L E A N U . S . N AT U R A L G A S I S A B U N DA N T
KANS AS HAS NO NE E D TO I MP ORT I T.
THE PERMIT TO BUILD A BIG, CO2-EMITTING, 1400-
MEGAWATT, COAL-FIREDPOWER PLANT AT HOLCOMB
WAS DENIED IN A RECENT DECISION BY GOVERNOR
SEBELIUS ADMINISTRATION TO SPARE THE AIR
KANSANS BREATHE. THE COURAGEOUS ACTION
HAS REAPED A BUMPER CROP OF UNTRUTHS.
WE WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CLEAR THE AIR.
HERE, WE REPRINT AND REFUTE THE CONTENT OF A RECENT AD PRODUCED BY THE COAL FOLKS ...
FALSE. Zero natural gas would be (or ever has been)
imported from Russia, Venezuela or Iran. America has
NEVER imported natural gas from these countries. Less
than 1%of the natural gas consumedin this country comes
from any source beyond North America.
Kansas produces more gas than it uses and exports much
of it as a valuable source of jobs and tax payments.
CLAIM #2: As demand for electricity increases
in Kansas and across the country, our state has the
opportunity to be a leader in the fight to reduce
our reliance on foreign energy by utilizing Americas
most abundant fuel resource clean coal.
ALL FALSE, for the following reasons:
Reduce our reliance on foreign energy? Rejecting
coal will NOT increase our reliance on foreign energy if
we stick with American energy sources like natural gas,
wind and solar.
By turning away from coal, Kansas can be a leader not
just in using American energy, but clean energy that
doesnt degrade health, the environment and economic
development with pollution.
American. Abundant. Natural gas is as American as coal
is (see #1) and abundant but adds the profound
advantage of being clean, with half the carbon emissions
of coal and virtually no mercury or particulates. Coal
emits a lot of both.
The vast abundance of natural gas has just begun to be
understood. Recent studies confirm North America has
a 120-year supply. Source: Potential Supply of Natural Gas in the U.S., Golden,
CO, Sept 2007; Canadian Potential Gas Agency, Dec. 2006.
Proved natural gas reserves are at their highest levels
in 30 years. Source: LNG Intelligence Nov. 7, 2007.
There is no such product as so-called clean coal.
The termis misleading. Look at coals longlist of pollutants
and see if you think its clean.
In fact, clean coal is only a GOAL, not a reality.
A recent MIT study, The Future of Coal, found cleaner
coal technologies need more than 10 years of research,
development and demonstration before theyll be
ready to use.
Risky, so-called clean coal technology would require
pumping astounding quantities of liquefied carbon
dioxide into Kansas soil, a bad idea.
CLAIM #3: Unfortunately, the Sebelius Administra-
tion rejected a plan to build a much-needed, coal-
fueled power plant near Holcomb. The implications
of this decision higher electric bills, lost economic
activity and reduced energy security will affect
Kansas for years to come.
The plant rejection was fortunate
and the implications described are ALL FALSE:
Amuch-neededplant to avoidlost economic activity?
FALSE. Western Kansas deserves jobs that dont
jeopardize the health and well-being of its citizens.
Remember, as soon as construction is over, most of the
jobs aregone, but thepollutionwouldburdengenerations
of Kansans, forever. A gas-fired plant should be built and
linked to Kansas wind power. Thats an economic plan
with a future.
Higher electric bills? In fact, those will result from
choosing coal. Since December 2003, Powder River
Basin coal prices have shown a 300% increase and
coal transportation costs have been no less volatile.
Source: 2007 UtiliPoint International, Inc.
Add coal pollutions well-documented harm to health
and the medical care it requires. Add the price of building
coal plants, which is about four times the cost of a natural
gas plant. And the carbon pollution taxes we all know
are imminent will just add to the tab.
Meanwhile, natural gas prices have increased only about
46% in the past five years less than oil (up 143%), steel
(up 150%), milk (up 100%) and many other commodities.
Reduced energy security? FALSE. Again, the natural
gas Americans use is American. (For more, see #1 and #2.)
CLAIM#4: Without the new, next-generation coal-
fueledplants, Kansans will be captive tohigh-priced
natural gas, allowing hostile foreign countries to
control the energy policy of Kansas and America.
We are already being held hostage to some
of these countries for oil.
ALL FALSE, for the following reasons:
New, next-generation coal plants? If the

proposed plant were built, Kansans would still be without
a next-generation model because the technology
doesnt yet exist. For the foreseeable future, its risky,
experimental and utterly unaffordable (see #3).
High-priced? FALSE. (Thats the pot calling the kettle
black!) We now know the old coal is cheap claim is
wrong because of the high cost of pollution and the high
cost of building coal plants (Holcombs price at $3.5 billion
would be paid by Kansans and would probably be much
higher). Meanwhile, natural gas is a clean-burning, all-
American bargain. No hostile foreign country needed.
Plus, less heart and lung disease, asthma and other serious
pollution-caused diseases.
CLAIM #5: The choice is simple clean coal
from Middle America versus expensive gas from
the Middle East.
FALSE: None of Kansas natural gas comes from the
countries named in the ad. In fact, more than 99% of the
natural gas Americans use comes from North America.
(See #1.) Do not be misled on this important fact!
CLAIM #6: Natural gas prices have more than
tripled since 1999.
TRUE: However, coal has also demonstrated that it
is not immune to higher prices, increasing 300% during
the past few years, and prices are still rising (see #4).
On a BTU-equivalent basis, natural gas prices are roughly
50% of oil.
CLAIM #7: Domestic natural gas production is flat
and well below peak production levels. Liquefied
Natural Gas imports have risen 44%this year alone.
FALSE: U.S. natural gas production rose by 2.5%
in 2006 (1.25 billion cubic feet a day) and 2007 production
is likely to be even higher. Potential gas reserves in the
U.S. are up by 17% over two years ago.
Most of the new production is coming from the Mid-
Continent region, which includes Kansas.
CLAIM#8: Government experts predict that growth
innatural gas demandwill have tobe met by imports
muchof it comingfromhostilecountries inunstable
parts of the world.
FALSE: Again, more than 99% of the natural gas
Americans use comes fromNorth America. See abundant
supply discussion above. (Identify your government
experts, were glad to get them the facts.)
CLAIM #9: The U.S. has enough coal for the next
250 years, and its cleaner than ever before.
FALSE: Coal is NOT clean andcleaner than ever before
is an empty claim. There is no proven technology to
remove carbon, mercury, particulates or other pollutants
from coal emissions. (See the MIT study, #2.) The DOE
CleanCoal Technology Roadmapdefines the future benefit
of clean coal as being near-zero CO2 plants, but the
proposed Holcomb plant would emit 10 million tons of
CO2 each year making it one of the largest polluters
in Kansas.
[Source: Sierra Club fact sheet:
http://www.kansas.sierraclub.org/Wind/FactSheet-Myth-vs-Facts.pdf]
CLAIM #10: Without new coal-fueled plants in our
state, experts predict that electric bills will skyrocket
and Kansans will be more dependent than ever on
hostile, foreign energy sources.
FALSE: Kansas would only receive 15% of the 1400
megawatts of power the proposed coal-fueled plant at
Holcomb would generate (210 MW), because 85% of its
output would go out of state. Kansans, though, would be
stuck with 100% of the plants pollution! It would be far
wiser, cheaper and more environmentally friendly to build
a natural gas/wind power system for that 210 MW of
capacity that Kansas needs.

Students ready for Runway
BY MATT LINDBERG
mlindberg@kansan.com
Move over, Heidi Klum. Student
Union Activities will hold its own
Project Runway at 7 p.m. Tuesday
night in the Kansas Union Ballroom,
giving five student designers an
opportunity to show off their duds.
Mychael Knight, a contestant from
the third season of the Bravo televi-
sion show of the same name, will
serve as a guest judge.
Molly Gaeckle, Sioux Falls, S.D.,
sophomore and SUA student coor-
dinator of the event, said SUAs first
Project Runway event, last year,
was a big success and that having
Knight serve as guest host and
judge was easy to do.
Mychael was the fan favorite
on the season he was on the show,
Gaeckle said. We just talked to his
agent, and he agreed to be a part of
it, so that was exciting.
Gaeckle said the competition
began almost nine months ago
when a group of designers were put
through a preliminary round, in
which contestants were narrowed
to five student designers. The win-
ning designer will receive a display
of his or her work at a downtown
clothing store, a free subscription
to Vogue magazine and a $200
check.
Tuesday night, contestants will
have three chal-
lenges and pres-
ent 15 garments
to the audi-
ence and judg-
es. The other
judges will be
Julie Kessinger,
the winner of
last years SUA
c o mp e t i t i o n ,
and Madison
Spencer, a grad-
uate teaching
assistant in art and design. Knight
will also talk and answer questions
from the audi-
ence for thirty
minutes.
Betsy Hatch,
Kansas City,
Kan., senior and
a finalist in the
Project Runway
event, said her
preparation for
the competition
had gone well,
but it was also
ner ve-racki ng
because she was excited to get a
response from the judges and audi-
ence about her pieces. She said
Knights serving as a judge added
to the pressure.
He is a designer, and hes been
through it, so theres no excuses,
Hatch said. Its his job; hes an
expert. So its intimidating but also
exhilarating.

free for all students. Call (785) 864-

Despite having more donors,
University receives less money
BY COURTNEY CONDRON
ccondron@kansan.com
Lee Young, a former KU
professor, loved teaching at
the University of Kansas. Now,
through the KU Endowment
Association, he established the
Lee Young Scholarship to benefit
students.
Young was one of the 43,000
alumni and friends of the
University that donated to KU
Endowment during the 2007 fis-
cal year, from July 1, 2006, to June
30, 2007. This was a record num-
ber of donors for the University,
although the total amount donat-
ed decreased from $94.4 million
in fiscal year 2006 to $94.3 million
in 2007.
Dale Seuferling, president of
KU Endowment, said, Retaining
donors is important because not
only do they give a gift, but they
establish a relationship with the
University, and maybe, they will
give an even larger donation in
the future.
KU Endowment allows donors
to choose what they want their
money to be used for. They can
donate to specific schools within
the University, student scholar-
ships, the Chancellors Club or
anything else they prefer. Rosita
McCoy, senior vice president
of communications for KU
Endowment, said an overwhelm-
ing majority of donors restricted
their money to be used in areas of
their choice.
Bill Collier, clinical associate
professor at the KU School of
Medicine in Wichita, and his wife,
Becky Collier, are both KU alum-
ni. They have
donated to the
fund every
year since
1975, and they
usually donate
to the School
of Education,
from which
Becky gradu-
ated, and the
School of
Medicine in
Wichita, where Bill works.
In a sense, its gratitude for
the education we got, Bill said.
We want to do something to
help out the University and help
people become educated in the
field where they want to pursue
careers.
Money that supports students
increased from $23 million in fis-
cal year 2006 to $24.3 million,
and support for faculty grew from
$16.9 million to $20.8 million.
The main ways students benefit
from KU Endowment are through
scholarships, fellowships and
awards.
Seuferling said that students
benefited directly because student
support increased during the pre-
vious year and that students bene-
fited indirectly through the ability
to purchase new equipment, build
new facilities and recruit good
faculty.
C i n d y

dent of Callahan
Creek, a mar-

Her company
donated to KU
E n d o w me n t
to support the
education of potential employ-
ees. The company donated to
the School of Journalism and the
School of Fine Arts.
Its important that we con-
tinue to build on the excellence
in programs at KU, Maude said.
From a company standpoint, its
important to support the students
in the programs that are part of
our industry, to continue to have
the great quality of students com-
ing out of KU.
Donors in 2007 were from all
50 states, four commonwealths
and 28 other countries. Since KU
Endowment was founded in 1891,
it has provided $1.4 billion for the
University.
We always hope to do as
much as we can to increase sup-
port throughout the University,
Seuferling said. We are always
pleased to make progress.

WASHINGTON Americas
obesity epidemic and global warm-
ing might not seem to have much in
common. But public health experts
suggest people can attack them both
by cutting calo-
ries and carbon
dioxide at the
same time.
How? Get
out of your car
and walk or bike
half an hour a
day instead of
driving. And
while youre at
it, eat less red
meat. Thats how
Americans can simultaneously save
the planet and their health, say doc-
tors and climate scientists.
The payoffs are huge, although
unlikely to happen. One numbers-
crunching scientist calculates that
if all Americans between 10 and
74 walked just half an hour a day
instead of driving, they would cut
the annual U.S. emissions of carbon
dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas,
by 64 million
tons.
About 6.5
billion gal-
lons of gasoline
would be saved.
And Americans
would also shed
more than 3
billion pounds
overall, accord-
ing to these cal-
culations.
The Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention is considering pub-
lic promotion of the co-benefits
of fighting global warming and
obesity-related illnesses through
everyday exercise, like walking to
school or work, said Dr. Howard
Frumkin, director of the CDCs
National Center for Environmental
Health.
A simple intervention like walk-
ing to school is a climate change
intervention, an obesity interven-
tion, a diabetes intervention, a
safety intervention, Frumkin told
The Associated Press. Thats the
sweet spot.
Climate change is a deadly and
worsening public health issue,
said Frumkin and other experts.
The World Health Organization
estimated that 160,000 people
died in 2000 from malaria, diar-
rhea, malnutrition and drownings
from floods problems that pub-
lic health and climate scientists
contend were worsened by global
warming. Officials predict that in
the future those numbers will be
higher.
T h e
A m e r i c a n
Public Health
As s o c i a t i o n ,
which will high-
light the health
problems of
global warm-
ing in April, is
seeking to con-
nect obesity and
climate change
solutions, said
executive direc-
tor Dr. Georges Benjamin.
This may present the greatest
public health opportunity that weve
had in a century, said University
of Wisconsin health sciences pro-
fessor Jonathan Patz, president of
the International Association for
Ecology and Health.
The key is getting people out of
the car, Patz and Frumkin told the
public health
a s s o c i a t i o n
at its annual
c o n v e n t i o n .
Reducing car
travel in favor of
biking or walk-
ing would not
only cut obesity
and greenhouse
gases, they said,
it would also
mean less smog,
fewer deaths
from car crashes, less osteoporosis,
and even less depression since exer-
cise helps beat the blues.

Stepfather charged with murder of girl
AssociAted Press
CASSVILLE, Mo. Two men
were charged Saturday with murder
and rape in the death of a 9-year-
old girl whose body was found
the day before in a hillside cave in
southwest Missouri.
Barry County prosecutors
charged the girls 24-year-old step-
father, David Spears, and his friend,
Chris Collings, 32, with one count
each of first-degree murder, forc-
ible rape and statutory rape in the
death of Rowan Ford.
Rowans body was found Friday
in a cave in a remote part of
McDonald County, about 10 miles
south of the village of Stella, where
she lived with her mother and
David Spears. Her disappearance
last weekend led to an intensive
search by dozens of officers from
three counties and 50 FBI agents
and specialists.
Barry County Sheriff Mick
Epperly said Collings confessed to
authorities on Friday. Based in part
on Collings statement, the affida-
vit Epperly sent to the prosecutor
alleges that the men took Rowan
from her home to a camping trail-
er where Collings lived in Barry
County, Epperly said.
There, Epperly said, both men
raped Rowan and one of them then
strangled her with a cord. Epperly
did not say which one of the men
strangled the girl.
Collings brother, Greg Horton,
44, said he didnt believe the allega-
tions.
I dont believe he could do
something like this. He has three
kids of his own, Horton said.
Collings children are all younger
than 10 and live in Arkansas with
their mother, who is separated from
Collings, Horton said.
Collings was being held in Barry
County jail. Epperly said he didnt
know if Collings had an attorney.
Myrna Spears, David Spears
mother, said Saturday her son did
not have a lawyer. He was being
held in Newton County jail.
The mother discovered her
daughter was missing about 9 a.m.
Nov. 3, after working a night shift at
a Wal-Mart in a nearby town.
David Spears initially told
investigators he had gone out with
friends the night of Nov. 2, leaving
Rowan alone after she fell asleep.
He said he returned around mid-
night but did not check on the girl,
authorities said.
Authorities said he later
acknowledged he had gone out a
second time, around 1:30 a.m. on
Nov. 3, after calling his mother and
asking to borrow her sport utility
vehicle. His mother has said she
watched TV but did not check on
Rowan while she waited for Spears
to return. He was gone for 5 1/2
hours.
Spears previously said that it
was wrong for him to leave the girl
alone and that he initially withheld
some information about his where-
abouts that night because he was
afraid authorities would suspect
him in her disappearance.
Colleen and David Spears report-
ed Rowan missing about 6:50 p.m.
on Nov. 3, after spending much of
the day looking for the girl at the
homes of acquaintances where they
thought she might have gone.

Plates reveal vain Virginians
NATIONAL
HeALTH
Doctors say health, planet may beneft from exercise
AssociAted Press
RICHMOND, Va.
URSOVAIN Virginia.
You, too, New Hampshire,
Illinois, Nevada and Montana.
A state-by-state survey of the
popularity of vanity license plates
has found that car and truck own-
ers in Virginia are the vainest of
them all.
Of the 9.3 million personalized
plates on the roads of America,
about one in 10 are in Virginia,
according to rankings provided
to The Associated Press by the
American Association of Motor
Vehicle Administrators.
Thats 16 percent of the plates
issued by Virginia. New Hampshire
came in second with nearly 14 per-
cent. Illinois had about 13.4 per-
cent, but that amounted to nearly
1.3 million plates, the most of any
state.
If youve
got 9.3 mil-
lion people
across the
U.S. sporting
vanity plates,
youve got a
cultural phe-
nomenon,
A A M V A
spokesman
Jason King
said.
Texas had the fewest, with only
about a half percent of drivers per-
sonalizing their plates.
Kathy Carmichael drives around
with the plate COFENUT, although
she is down from eight to 10 cups of
java a day to just three.
Its a personality thing, said
Carmichael, 58, a real state agent in
Mechanicsville. You get to know
something about the person in
front of you or who passes you.
Stefan Lonce calls it minimalist
poetry in motion telling a story
in eight or fewer characters.
Lonce author of the upcom-
ing book LCNS2ROM License
to Roam: Vanity Plates and the
Stories they Tell worked with
AAMVA to survey vehicle licensing
agencies in each state.
I think a lot of people have
stories to tell and they really want
pieces of those stories out there,
said Lonce, who admits he initially
thought it was silly for people to
spend extra money to personalize
their license plates.
Ion Bogdan Vasi, an assistant
sociology professor at Columbia
University, calls people who per-
sonalize their plates the narcissis-
tic-materialist poets of the iGenera-
tion.
Most people
buy personal-
ized plates simply
because they want
to tell the world
they are special,
Vasi said in an e-
mail. They wrote
an ode to them-
selves and they
want to share it
with everybody on
the highway.
Some plates are cryptic, like
Brittany Diaz EN PWANT. Its a
reminder of the summer when she
studied ballet in New York and
her French teacher pronounced the
en pointe style of dance as en
pwant.
Most ballerinas get it, and those
who dont dance I figured would be
entertained because pwant is just a
funny thing to say, said Diaz, 17, of
Midlothian.
Others are personal, like those of
Ally and Rudy Masry of Briarcliff
Manor, N.Y. She donated a kidney
to her husband in 2003, so her car
has the tag DONOR and his reads
DONEE. Some offer quirky takes
on professions, like EYEMAN and
2THDR. BYTE1 reflects the com-
puter science degree held by Vonn
Campbell of Greenville, S.C., but he
also chose it to provide a somewhat
abrasive message to those individu-
als who follow too closely.
Vehicle vanity tags most popular in Virginia, least in Texas
Its a personality thing. You get
to know something about the
person in front of you or who
passes you.

LOS ANGELES Jerry Seinfeld
turned more honey into money as
his animated comedy Bee Movie
buzzed to the top of the box office in
its second weekend.
The DreamWorks-Paramount
flick, which had debuted at No.
2 behind Universals American
Gangster the previous weekend,
packed in family crowds to pull in
$26 million, raising its total to $72.2
million, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
American Gangster, starring
Denzel Washington and Russell
Crowe, was a strong No. 2 with
$24.3 million in sales, lifting its total
to $80.7 million.
We dont often see a movie start
out in the No. 2 position then move
up to No. 1, said Paul Dergarabedian,
president of box-office tracker Media
By Numbers. It just shows how
strong the word of mouth is on this
movie and that families are really
enjoying it.
Adult audiences had put
American Gangster ahead on
Friday, but weekend matinee crowds
lifted Bee Movie to the top spot.
Bee Movie is positioned well for
Thanksgiving next week, when chil-
dren will be out of school.
This is terrific playing time for
this movie, said Anne Globe, head
of marketing for DreamWorks.
Two of Hollywoods biggest cul-
tural icons Santa and Tom Cruise
had to settle for also-ran debuts.
The Warner Bros. family comedy
Fred Claus, with Vince Vaughn as
the black-sheep brother of Santa
(Paul Giamatti), opened at No. 3
with $19.2 million, on par with last
Novembers $19.5 million debut of
Tim Allens holiday tale The Santa
Clause 3: The Escape Clause.
Cruises Lions for Lambs,
co-starring Robert Redford and
Meryl Streep in a drama inter-
locking three stories in the war
on terror, premiered at No. 4 with
$6.7 million.
Summit Entertainments P2, a
thriller about a woman trapped in
a parking garage and terrorized by
the attendant on Christmas Eve,
opened at No. 8 with $2.2 million.
Joel and Ethan Coens crime tale
No Country for Old Men got off
to a great start in limited release,
taking in $1.2 million in just 28
theaters.

S
aying hello is for losers.
I fnd that I make my
time on campus as minimal as I
possibly can these days. I go up
for class and then get the heck
out of Dodge as soon as my
classes are over.
Campus is just not a social
scene for me. Walking to class
isnt a time for me to catch up
with old buds; its simply a time
to get from point A to point B.
Seeing people you are acquaint-
ed with on the way to and from
class is always so awkward.
How do you know when its ap-
propriate to say, Hi or not?
I mean, what if I only had
one class with this girl in high
school, or I think I met that
guy at Louises last week?
But then they say, Hi and
use your name and you feel
like such a horrible person
for questioning even giving
them a wave. And then you
feel worse because you cant
even remember the frst letter of
their name.
It a horrible conundrum that
plagues my existence every sin-
gle day. Luckily, I have found
an easy way to remedy the situ-
ation by wearing my iPod very
visibly any time Im on campus.
Its like an automatic dont talk
to me symbol and even if some-
one says something to you, just
point at your ear and mouth the
words, I cant hear you.
The results are amazing.
People walk right by and when
you pretend that you cant hear
them they just smile and nod
like, Oh yeah, I understand
and walk on.
Then there are those times
when you see someone you ei-
ther dont really like or dont
have the energy to be friendly
with. Its times like these when
fddling with your iPod or pre-
tending to be talking on the
phone comes in handy. Or some-
times Ill see someone coming
and Ill turn around and look
pensively behind me like I for-
got something or like Im look-
ing for someone. That tricks not
so great though, because people
can still yell out at you.
Its better to have something
in your ear so the possibility of
a conversation is completely
out of the question. Of coarse,
if I see a good friend I will stop
and have a chat, but seriously I
know so many people that go
to this school, whether its from
high school or sorority stuff or
random introductions at bars
and concerts.
Its impossible to get away
from the network of people
I know, and sometimes I just
dont want to talk to people, es-
pecially when Im sober and try-
ing to get my life together.

I know Im not the only one
who feels this way, because I
think Ive caught some people
doing the above things to me,
and to that I say, Mad props!
I respect a persons decision to
not talk to me on campus. You
can ignore me all you want, fake
some phone conversations and
look at your iPod right when I
walk by. Instead of taking of-
fense, Ill admire your antisocial
introverted attitude and walk on
with a smile.

Parking during
games a nightmare
After donors and faculty have parked,
no spaces are left for anyone else
W
eve all gotten the
pink slip of doom.
You see it sitting
there with your name on it, and
your heart stops. Anger creeps
up on you like a ninja in the
night. You throw down the slip
in frustration. There is no way in
hell you are paying another $20
parking ticket.
A lot of times, students bring
the tickets upon themselves.
Students constantly park in a
lot where their parking permit
is not valid. Of course, in our
defense, its hard to keep track
of all the colored lots. How am
I supposed to remember that
the Yellow Lots open at four in-
stead of the usual fve, and that
the Chartreuse Lot is only open
during the winter solstice?

After going to KU for the usu-
al fve to seven years, most stu-
dents can fgure out which lots
their permits are valid for (about
three for the 20,000 people who
go to campus daily). However,
no one has ever solved the mys-
tery of parking during basketball
games.
Basically, any lot within a 10-
mile radius of Allen Fieldhouse
is closed for Williams Athlet-
ics Scholarship Fund members
and paying visitors. These lots,
according the KU Parking and
Transit Web site, are #19, 54, 72,
90, 125 and 127, and are also
this weeks lottery number picks.
Also, the Allen Fieldhouse park-
ing garage is closed to students.
In addition, streets not
even on campus, like Emer-
ald Drive, have signs saying no
parking during basketball sea-
son. Okay, so whats a student
to do? Read Harry Potter and
fgure out how to fy a broom-
stick?
Luckily, the parking depart-
ment has foreseen this problem.
For faculty and staff with valid
permits, lots #17, 33, 34, 35, 37,
41 and 61/62 (also the numbers
you can call for a great time),
are open. For students, lots #34
and 61/62, which are, yep, you
guessed it, also the IQ scores of
the parking department, are
open.
Now, Im a writing major,
but even I can do the math
on this one. On campus,
there are night classes, tests,
SUA activities and other edu-
cational opportunities. Also,
students are working at places
like the library or the writing
center. That is about, lets see,
divide the dividend, carry over
to the other column, multiply
by pi, leave room for a margin of
error, and you get, roughly, a lot
of people.

And all these students are
supposed to ft in two parking
lots, yet the staff gets twice that
many lots? For every one teach-
er teaching class or giving a test,
there are anywhere from 20 to
over 200 students. Plus, these
lots are open only to students
with permits. Some students
might normally walk or bike, but
feel uncomfortable doing so at
night or cant when the weather
gets too cold. Others might take
a bus whose route does not run
that late. These students also
failed their apparition tests.
On the KU parking and tran-
sit Web site, they state the Park
and Ride lots, way up by the
Lied Center, are open. Howev-
er, the buses from these lots only
run on the half-hour. If your
7:00-9:50 p.m. class runs late or
is so far from the bus stop that
you miss the 10:00 bus, then you
have to wait until 10:30 for the
next bus. Plus, this means a stu-
dent has to get to campus really
early to get from the Park and
Ride lot to their class on cam-
pus.
I defnitely think students
should have priority over visi-
tors when it comes to parking
on campus. We are paying the
University for an education, and
sports should not stop this, no
matter how exciting they may
be. KU Parking needs to fgure
out a way it can open more lots
to students with or without per-
mits. Also, parking should give
all campus employees special
parking passes, so they can park
near where they work and not
get ticketed. The SRFC already
does this for their employees.
Well, I gotta go. Its only
Monday, but I want to stake out
my parking spot before the next
game.

Fast food is only convenient in the short run
Its easy to go on a burger, pizza or taco run, but youll regret it later on
I
ts a Thursday night and
hunger is calling. Like an
earthquake, your stomach
ruptures with the need for food.
At frst you think about mak-
ing something from your kitch-
en. Ramen noodles, PB&J, left-
over spaghetti from a week ago.
But none of these options sound
appealing, so you do what a ma-
jority of college students do.
You go for fast food.
Fast food is everywhere. Its
available from the main corners
of a busy street to the luxury of
your own home. Fast food has
become as American as a base-
ball game, and the effects are
quickly catching up with us.
The nation has become a cul-
ture of fast food eating and
on-the-go living, ultimately
creating fat America. How-
ever, as it turns out, fast food
has some advantages in the
short term. In all reality, peo-
ple like the fact that its fast
and convenient.
There is no other food that
you can go out, pick up and
have ready in a moments no-
tice. Ultimately, you dont have
to cook, shop or even wash
dishes. All you have to do is eat
and throw away the trash. In the
end, you are saving an immense
amount of time. Nevertheless,
there seems to be a direct link
to obesity in America and fast
food. A typical meal from a fast
food restaurant, say a serving of
fries and a cheeseburger, adds
up to over 1,000 calories per
serving. This is about half the
recommended dietary allow-
ance for an individual per day.
In 2006, obesity levels of the
average American had risen 25
percent since 2004. About one-
third of all Americans over the
age of 20 are considered obese.
The risks involved with develop-
ing obesity are the main concern
when looking at this problem
spreading through our nation.
Premature death resulting from
heart disease, stroke, diabetes,
fatty liver disease or cancer are
all risks involved with becom-
ing obese. However, being con-
sciously aware of this problem is
the frst step in conquering the
link to obesity and fast food.
Being a college student, I
know how easy it is to grab
something on the go and to ful-
fll the hunger need. I have fall-
en victim countless times to the
world of fast food, because time
between work, school and a life
doesnt always supply enough
to cook a meal. Fortunately,
fast food has begun to add new
items to value meals or other
side items to encourage healthy
eating habits.
Side salads, grilled chicken,
fruit cups, yogurt and milk have
all been added to menus as op-
tions for alternative eating.
Consciously choosing healthier
options at fast food restaurants
only benefts your health in the
long run, but just because these
options exist does not make
fast food a healthy diet. Load-
ing on additional sides or add-
ing lots of dressing to that salad
only makes the calorie count
go back up. Understanding that
the decisions we make now will
ultimately affect our future is
something we must be aware of.
If time is on your side, go home
and make yourself dinner. If its
not, choose wisely when dining
out. Your body will thank you in
the future.

Jenny Faber decided to fill her
Saturday with something that was
usually pretty rare during the week
complete silence. Faber, Hays
junior, joined a small group of KU
faculty and students to slow down
from their busy weeks and participate
in Ecumenical Christian Ministries
Silent Saturday.
Were around people all the time,
Faber said. To be in an environment
that is this calming, it gives me time
to concentrate on myself.
Participants gathered at noon
Saturday at the ECM and worked
on homework, knitted, read or even
slept. The only requirement was to be
in complete silence.
Thad Holcombe, ECM campus
minister, said moments of silence and
meditation dated back to monastic
times. He said contemplative silence
had a history with almost every reli-
gion. Holcombe said he was surprised
at the number of students that said
they had certain places on campus
where they went to sit in silence.
Holcombe said the silence and
lack of distractions could be disturb-
ing for students at first because it gave
people the freedom to explore all the
thoughts in their heads.
Silence is provocative in that
way, Holcombe
said. Its nice to
have permission
to just pause and
reflect.
J o n a t h a n
Blum, Lawrence
junior, said with
cell phones and
other constant
stimulation from
everyday life, it
was easy to get distracted, and it was
nice to commit to being silent.
Nancy Hope, associate director for
the Center for East Asian Studies,
said she wanted
to enjoy an after-
noon filled with
reflective reading
instead of work.
Work is just
s nowbal l i ng,
Hope said. Its
precious to sit
quietly and not
think, I need to
do this, I need to
do that.
After two
hours of silence, the group sat togeth-
er, ate apples and cheese and reflected
on the feeling of quiet.
Megan Dodge, Overland Park
senior, said the two hours of silence
wasnt difficult for her to get used to.
She said she felt like she accomplished
a large amount of work and enjoyed
having the focus to work on a pre-
sentation.
Faber said when she first partici-
pated in a Silent Saturday the feeling
was unusual, and it gave her time to
think of the little things going on in
her life. She said she always left feel-
ing relaxed, de-stressed and like she
had a productive day.
The group continued its silence
until a 7 p.m. vegetarian din-
ner. Holcombe said the next Silent
Saturday was scheduled for Dec. 8.
He said because it was the day after
Stop Day, it would be a good oppor-
tunity for students to start studying
for final exams.
Faber said she planned to attend
any coming Silent Saturdays and
encouraged other students to give
it a try.
I get excited because I know how
good it is for me, Faber said.

The Muck Fizzou slogan has
been replaced, two weeks before the
much-hyped matchup in Arrowhead
Stadium between Kansas and
Missouri on Nov. 24. The results of
The University Daily Kansans T-shirt
slogan contest were announced dur-
ing the weekend and the distribution
of the shirts will begin this week.
Lauren Braun, St. Louis sopho-
more, submitted the winning rivalry
slogan, which reads: Tigers are an
endangered species on the front
and Extinction starts today on the
back. The winning slogan for a non-
sport specific gameday shirt was
submitted by Clint Frye, Haddam
sophomore. It will read: Bring the
Heat, Wave the Wheat.
After a week of submissions, a
committee of Kansan staff mem-
bers and various student leaders
narrowed the list to five. Visitors to
Kansan.com voted on the finalists
for a week. The voting ended on
Wednesday, and the winners were
notified Friday.
Braun and Frye each get two front-
row tickets and a limo ride with a
guest to the game at Arrowhead
Stadium, as well as $100 cash, a tail-
gate package and other prizes.
One thousand T-shirts will be
given away to students picking up
KU-MU football tickets this week.
Braun said she didnt like the
Muck Fizzou slogan because it
wasnt appropriate for children. As a
Missouri resident, Braun said it was
exciting to have created the slogan.
It is really fun, because a lot
of my family and friends go to the
game every year, Braun said.
Nate Stafford, Overland Park
senior and marketing and promo-
tions manager for The Kansan, said
Braun and Frye each won handily
and received close to 50 percent of
the student vote.
There were a lot of great submis-
sions, Stafford said. I would have
been happy with any of the top five.
Stafford said he hadnt expected
the student body to immediately
embrace the idea but was happy with
the end result of a process that was
completely student-driven.
You cant please everyone all the
time, but we tried to do our best,
Stafford said. I hope the student
body will embrace it.
John Irvine, Leavenworth junior,
said he would wear the new shirt if
it looked good.
I think the contest was a good
idea. Its better to get the idea from
us (students) than a store on Mass.
Street, Irvine said.
The Border Showdown tilt
between Kansas and Missouri is a
leading contender to be aired in
primetime on ESPN-partner ABC.
ESPN announced last year that it
would not show students wearing
the Muck Fizzou shirts on televi-
sion, which was a prime reason for
the creation of the contest.
Irvine said the television networks
wouldnt stop him from wearing the
Muck Fizzou shirt.
Screw ABC, it doesnt matter. If
I dont wear the shirt someone else
will, Irvine said.
Associate Athletics Director Jim
Marchiony said the contest was a
step in the right direction.
We think that its far better than
the Muck Fizzou shirts, Marchiony
said. We applaud The Daily Kansan
and the student body for taking the
lead in this and making it happen.
We think the best part of this was
that it was totally student driven, and
that is the way it should be.

SCHOOL SPIRIT

Go ahead, take your pick.
Did Kansas make big shots and show
enough poise to beat a tough, motivated
UMKC team in its 85-62 victory or did it
bring back memories of last years Jayhawks,
who toyed too long with Toledo and barely
beat Ball State?
Ask Kansas coach Bill Self, and it was a
little of both.
I would say, maybe they played pretty
good, he said. I also think we made some
plays that when we watch the tape, Ill say,
why would we do that in this situation?
You have a chance to break the game open
and do a couple of things and let them back
in it. I just feel like we didnt have the killer
instinct tonight.
The Kangaroos sure came out like killers.
Their undersized big men didnt back down
and ensured Kansas (2-0) wouldnt wow
anyone like it did in Fridays season-open-
ing, run-and-jump-riddled 107-78 victory
against Louisiana Monroe.
For a while in the first half, UMKC
looked like it had the toughness to join the
group of teams that had upset major powers
in the first week of the season. The Kansas
players wouldnt let it happen. Upsets had
been on their mind all week. Senior for-
ward Darnell Jackson said the team saw
all the surprise losses on SportsCenter
and knew every team needed to be taken
seriously.
We dont want to be one of those teams
getting upset because were better than
that, he said. We can go out there and win
in every game as long as we go out there as
a team and not be selfish.
So when Reggie Hamilton made a three-
pointer with about eight minutes left in
the first half to make the score 22-21,
the Jayhawks responded. Junior guard
Mario Chalmers made a three of his own.
Sophomore guard Sherron Collins swiped
a pass, sprinted to the opposite end and
found senior guard Russell Robinson for
a lay-up.
Senior guard Rodrick Stewart and senior
center Sasha Kaun made some shots, and
Robinson extended the Jayhawk lead to
41-28 just before halftime. Robinson was
everywhere Sunday night making threes,
throwing nine assists and getting in the
middle of a first-half confrontation.
When UMKC kept playing the scrappy
Cinderella later in the second half, Robinson
came to the rescue again. He made a three-
pointer with about nine minutes left to
give the Jayhawks a 62-48 lead. Kansas
outscored UMKC 23-14 the rest of the way.
Robinson had 15 points while Chalmers
had 23 to lead the Jayhawks in scoring.
I wasnt nervous, Robinson said. We
just traded baskets for a long time. We just
have to buckle down defensively.
Self said it wasnt the defense that
allowed UMKC to stick around and pull
within 10 late in the second half. It was the
miscues. Turnovers and missed dunks kept
the Jayhawks from blowing the game open.
Self also said the offense had trouble going
against the zone, and the big guys missed
shots near the basket.
Free throw shooting was another prob-
lem. After making 15 of 19 against Louisiana
Monroe, Kansas took a major step back

Saturdays NCAA Midwest Regional
Championships in Peoria, Ill., marked pos-
sibly the last race of the year for the cross
country team, but at least one Jayhawk runner
will move a step further.
With the biggest race of the year on the line,
senior All-American Colby Wissel stepped up
once again. Setting a new personal record time
and finishing fifth overall, Wissel punched his
ticket for the NCAA Championships.
As a team, the men finished 10th out of
the 19 teams in the field. Although they did
not win the race, many
of the team members
set personal best marks.
Senior Paul Hefferon also
set a personal best time
and finished 20th over-
all. Sophomore Dan Van
Orsdel finished third for
the Jayhawks and 71st
overall.
Leading the way for the
women was sophomore Lauren Bonds. Bonds
set her new personal record time while finish-
ing 25th overall. The trio of seniors were next,
with Alicia McGregor and Hayley Harbert
both setting new personal best times. Lisa
Morrisey finished fourth for the Jayhawks in
her final race and that was just ahead of fresh-
man Amanda Miller.
Wissel, Hefferon and Bonds all earned all-
region honors along with their career-best
times. Wissel automatically qualified for the
NCAA Championships because he was one
of the top four finishers who wasnt from
teams that qualified automatically.
The two teams will now wait to see whether
they will receive an at-large bid to the champi-
onships, which will be announced later today.
Two at-large runners from every region can
also be selected.

Kansas opened its 2007-2008 regular sea-
son Sunday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse
with a hard-fought 76-72 victory against
Hartford.
Like its 74-64 overtime exhibition victory
against Emporia State last Thursday night,
Kansas opened the game on fire but a dry
spell allowed its opponent to get close.
Out of the gate we were good again, but
we were really flat coming out of the locker
room (at halftime) and thats a concern,
coach Bonnie Henrickson said.
The Jayhawks were up by as many as 15
points in the first half and led by 10 at the
break. Hartford pulled within two points
several times in the second half.
I thought we lost our poise at times, and
other times we were just sloppy, Henrickson
said.
Hartford outscored Kansas 30-14 in
the paint and scored 16 points off of the
Jayhawks 20 turnovers.
Freshman Nicollette Smith countered
those numbers with a game-high 19 points
and 10 rebounds, with 16 of those points
coming in the second half thanks mostly to
passes from penetrating guards.
We were just penetrating a lot more
because they had stayed out on me in the
first half, Smith said.
Smith led the Jayhawks shooting from
beyond the arc, going 4-for-7. The team fin-
ished with a school record 11 made threes.
As important as their three-pointers,
Kansas free throws helped hold off a late
charge from Hartford.

STILLWATER, Okla. One-hundred
and eight. Thats how many years it had been
since Kansas started a season 10-0.
With their 43-28 victory at Oklahoma
State on Saturday, the Jayhawks cemented
their first 10-0 start since 1899 and kept their
dream season alive, moving up one spot to
No. 4 in the AP and Coaches polls.
Kansas (10-0, 6-0 Big 12) did what it
has done all year: come up with defen-
sive stops at just the right moments and
respond to adversity with offensive firepow-
er. Oklahoma State (5-5, 3-3) posted plenty
of points despite the loss of its best receiver,
but the Jayhawks countered two late Cowboy
touchdowns with a perfectly orchestrated
89-yard touchdown drive to seal the victory.
Our kids dont panic, and they keep their
poise, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said.
We did what we had to do to keep separa-
tion between us and Oklahoma State.
Kansas relied on heroics from sophomore
quarterback Todd Reesing and senior wide
receiver Marcus Henry to stay in the drivers
seat for most of Saturdays game. After drop-
ping the first pass thrown his way, Henry
recovered to put together the finest perfor-
mance of his collegiate career. The lanky
receiver, who grew up two hours away from
Stillwater and brought a bevy of family and
friends, hauled in eight receptions for 199
yards and three touchdowns.
Henrys most crucial catch came with 8:26
remaining in the game. Oklahoma State had
just engineered an impressive four-play, 89-
yard drive to trim the deficit to five points
and pull the home crowd out of a dormant
state. The Jayhawks started their ensuing
drive at their own 11-yard line, faced with
the prospect of marching into the teeth of a
hostile and noisy crowd.
After pushing the ball all the way to the
Oklahoma State four-yard line, the Kansas
offense looked frozen. The Oklahoma State
student section was full of fans bouncing
up and down and screaming at full throat
trying to halt the Jayhawks, confronted
with third-and-goal. Reesing took the snap
from the shotgun formation, looked left to
see senior tight end Derek Fine blanketed
by two defenders and caught a glimpse of
Henry streaking across the back of the end
zone. Reesings eye did not deceive him, and
he delivered a perfect strike to the 6-foot-4
target.
Its happened several times this season
when a teams gone ahead or got a little
close to us late in the game that the offense
has responded well and found a way to get
in the end zone, Reesing said. We were
moving the ball well all night, and that drive
was definitely a huge drive because it got
us a little bit more of a lead and more of a

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Nobody
is happier than Denver to see Kansas
Citys vaunted Arrowhead Stadium
advantage melting away.
With backup Selvin Young rush-
ing for 109 yards and Denver scoring
two touchdowns 9 seconds apart,
the injury-weakened Broncos beat
the Chiefs 27-11 Sunday for their
first win in Kansas City since 2002.
Its the third home loss this year for
the Chiefs, who came into the sea-
son with an NFL-best 104-36 home
record since 1990.
The Chiefs have been so good
over the years taking advantage of
their home field, with their crowd,
and finding a way to win, said
Denver coach Mike Shanahan.
They have the best home record in
the National Football League over
the last five or six years and its nice
to come out with a win.
The Broncos (4-5) might also
have helped a new quarterback era
get started for Kansas City (4-5).
Whip-armed Brodie Croyle
replaced shaken-up, turnover-prone
Damon Huard in the third quarter
and the second-year pro could start
next week in Indianapolis. Croyle
was expected to be the starter this
year, but coach Herm Edwards
turned to Huard when Croyle played
inconsistently in the preseason.
I havent decided anything,
Edwards said. Ill think about it
Monday and then well talk about
what were going to do at quarter-
back on Tuesday.
The home team had won the last
nine games between these old rivals,
and it seemed that would continue as
the Broncos stumbled around in the
first quarter, dropping two intercep-
tions and getting six penalties.
Pollard blocked Todd Sauerbruns
punt through the end zone for a
safety just a few seconds into the
second quarter. Then Elam kicked
his 37th career field goal of 50 yards
or more when the ball hit the cross-
bar and tumbled over from exactly
50 yards.
Cutler, whose availability was in
question earlier in the week because
of a deep bruise on his left leg, was
17-of-29 for 192 yards, including an
18-yard touchdown pass to Daniel
Graham with 10:44 left in the fourth
quarter.

A few less fAns
Even with the No. 5 team in
the nation visiting and the added
significance of the ABC Game of
the Week, Boone Pickens Stadium
was not filled to capacity. The
announced attendance of 39,848
marked the smallest crowd Kansas
has played in front of all season.
The seats near the top of the sta-
dium stayed empty, and one end
zone was completely free of fans
because of construction. Using a
donation from oil tycoon Boone
Pickens, the Cowboy football pro-
gram is adding a state-of-the-art
complex on the west end of the
stadium. Pickens displayed his
respect for the 10-0 Jayhawks by
congratulating Mark Mangino as
the coach headed for the locker
room after the game.
Tricky JAyhAwks
The game was billed as a match-
up between
offensive pow-
erhouses, a label
the offensive
coordinators did
nothing to shed.
Kansas offen-
sive coordina-
tor Ed Warinner
pulled several
tricks from his
sleeve, including a particularly
tricky option pass. Sophomore
quarterback/wide receiver Kerry
Meier went into motion before the
snap and lined up in the back-
field beside sophomore quarter-
back Todd Reesing. After the snap,
Reesing and Meier ran what looked
like a standard option play to the
right. Reesing pitched the ball back
to Meier, who gathered the toss
and lofted the ball deep downfield
to senior wide receiver Marcus
Henry. The Jayhawks gained 44
yards on the play and scored on a
field goal four plays later. But none
of the Cowboys tries at trick plays
turned out well. Faced with fourth-
and-two at the Kansas 48-yard line
on its first drive, Oklahoma State
tried to earn a first down on a
fake punt but came up just inch-
es short. Later in the first half,
Oklahoma State offensive coordi-
nator Larry Fedora elected to try
a wide receiver pass. The problem
was, his wide receiver never caught
the ball. Seth Newton dropped the
backward pass and Kansas junior
linebacker Joe Mortensen recov-
ered the fumble.
homecoming
Kansas is a team heavily stocked
with Oklahoma-grown talent, with
13 players and five starters from
the state. Some Oklahoma natives
enjoyed big games in their home-
comings, as junior defensive end
Russell Brorsen and junior line-
backer James Holt combined for
eight tackles and two tackles-for-
loss. Henry and senior kicker Scott
Webb scored 31 of the teams 43
points. Henry made eight recep-
tions for 199 yards, and Webb
made all three of his field goal
attempts.
cowboys ok wiThouT
bowmAn
Oklahoma State lost its most
potent weapon when wide receiver
Adarius Bowman left the game with
an injury in the second quarter.
But the disappearance of Bowman
didnt hold up the Cowboy offense
too much. As wide receiver Dez
Bryant stepped into the role of
playmaker. Bryant caught two long
passes over Kansas junior corner-
back Kendrick Harper on a sec-
ond-quarter touchdown drive and
continued to dissect the Jayhawk
defense in the second half. The
freshman finished the game with
eight receptions and 155 receiv-
ing yards. Cowboy quarterback
Zac Robinson also put together an
impressive effort. The sophomore
signal-caller passed for 276 yards
and two touchdowns and added 90
rushing yards.
sTruggling speciAl
TeAms
It was a rough night for both
sides of the
Kansas punt-
ing game. Senior
punter Kyle
Tucker booted
the ball away six
times at an aver-
age of 30.8 yards
per punt includ-
ing a 22-yard dud
that promptly sailed out of bounds.
Sophomore punt returner Anthony
Webb lived dangerously on Saturday
night, returning three punts for
minus four yards and sustaining
some serious hits because of his
reluctance to signal a fair catch. The
Kansas kickoff and kick return units
performed quite a bit better. Webb
sent three of his nine kickoffs into
the end zone for touchbacks, and
junior kick returner Marcus Herford
brought one kick back 55 yards into
Oklahoma State territory.

Reesing continued to enhance
his resume and gave Heisman vot-
ers some quality
material to con-
sider when sort-
ing through can-
didates. He tossed
three touchdowns
and extended his
five game inter-
ception-less streak
to a school record
179 attempts. His 308-yard effort was
his fourth game throwing for more
than 300 yards this season, which ties
a Kansas record. His 82-yard touch-
down pass to Henry was the teams
longest pass play since 1988 and was
nominated as a finalist for the Pontiac
Game Changing Performance of the
Week. The Jayhawks most impres-
sive offensive accomplishment may
have been keeping the ball away from
the Cowboys. Kansas held onto the
ball for more than two-thirds of the
fourth quarter and did not commit a
turnover for the second straight game.

comfort level.
The fourth-quarter connection
between Reesing and Henry sucked
the life from the fans at Boone
Pickens Stadium and the hope from
the Cowboy sideline. On the next
Oklahoma State possession, quar-
terback Zac Robinson lofted a pass
over the middle of the field and into
perfect position for Kansas junior
cornerback Aqib Talib to seize.
Talib returned the interception 17
yards and set up a 22-yard field goal
by senior kicker Scott Webb that
stretched the Kansas lead to 15 points
with 5:31 to play. The turnover was
the third of four forced by Kansas.
In contrast, the Jayhawks never gave
the ball away.
We knew they were going to
make big plays, junior linebacker
Joe Mortensen said. They have tre-
mendous athletes and good ballplay-
ers. We just kept trying to fight back
and ended up making a big play and
some turnovers, which is something
we take pride in on defense.
Talibs interception helped seal the
Jayhawks tenth victory, but it might
not have been his most important
contribution on Saturday night. In
the second quarter, Talib made a
diving tackle in the backfield that
sidelined Oklahoma State wide
receiver Adarius Bowman for the
rest of the game the same Adarius
Bowman who torched Kansas for 300
receiving yards and four touchdowns
in Lawrence last season. Bowman
gained just 22 receiving yards on
four catches and spent the second
half of Saturdays game roaming the
sidelines confined to street clothes
because of the injury.
The play was just a read for us,
Talib said. He threw it, and I made
a good break on it. I hate to see
(Bowman) go down like that, but I
was just out there playing football.
Talib made the game-altering
tackle late in the second quarter with
Kansas leading by three points. On
their next possession, the Jayhawks
added three more points and went
into halftime holding a tenuous 20-
14 advantage.
With its best weapon standing on
the sideline, Oklahoma State sput-
tered early in the second half. The
Cowboys went three-and-out on
their first two drives and fumbled the
ball away on their third. Meanwhile,
Reesing and the Jayhawk offense was
firing on all cylinders. The Austin,
Texas, native found Henry cutting
across the field on a slant route that
turned into an 82-yard touchdown
when the receiver broke away from
the Cowboy defensive backs and into
the open field.
Four minutes later, Kansas
marched 46 yards on five plays
and scored on senior running back
Brandon McAndersons 12-yard
touchdown scamper. McAnderson
displayed great field vision and lat-
eral quickness on the play as he made
his way into the left corner of the end
zone to stretch the lead to 19 points.
They took over and they checked
run-or-pass for however we lined
up, Oklahoma State coach Mike
Gundy said. Their quarterback is a
nice player. He does a nice job of get-
ting the ball to receivers.
Reesing certainly enjoyed an
impressive showing in Stillwater. The
sophomore finished the game 27-of-
40 with 308 passing yards and three
touchdowns while continuing his
interception-less streak to five games
and 179 attempts. McAnderson pro-
vided the balance for the Kansas
offense, gaining 145 rushing yards
and finding the end zone twice.
For a 10th consecutive game,
Kansas played so well as a team that
no one player stood out above the
crowd. Mortensen and Talib forced
turnovers on defense, Reesing and
Henry quieted the crowd on offense
and the team further solidified its
case for a BCS berth.
After making a habit out of medi-
ocrity in the past few seasons, the
2007 Jayhawks are winning big and
winning often. But even after 10 in
a row, the feeling of success has not
lost its novelty.
Its different because I dont think
Ive ever been 10-0 in anything, Talib
said. It just feels good, man. Its bet-
ter than 9-0.

BY CASE KEEFER
ckeefer@kansan.com
Oklahoma State senior wide receiv-
er Tommy Devereaux had to pause
and rethink his statement.
After a 43-28 loss to Kansas,
Devereaux was asked whether he
thought the Jayhawks were legitimate
national title contenders. He immedi-
ately began praising the defense per-
haps too much.
Theyve got the best defense in
the nation, Devereaux said. I mean,
the league.
Devereaux was part of the Cowboy
receiving corps that caught 276 yards
worth of passes fromsophomore quar-
terback Zac Robinson in the defeat. So
following a successful game offensive-
ly, why would Devereauxs immediate
comment place the Jayhawk defense
among the nations elite?
To Devereaux, and the rest of the
Cowboys, the Jayhawk defenses supe-
riority stems from one basic ability:
creating turnovers. Kansas ranked sec-
ond in the nation in turnover mar-
gin coming into the game against
Oklahoma State. It left with four more
turnovers to add to its statistic sheet
and committed none. All four turn-
overs came at critical points of the
game for Kansas.
You play a teamthats as successful
as they are and playing as well as they
are and give them four more chances,
it makes it extremely difficult to win,
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy
said. And thats really what it comes
down to. We gave the ball away too
many times.
The game was a back and forth
battle in the first quarter with both
teams offenses and defenses grabbing
momentum at different times. The
score was 7-7 when Oklahoma State
committed its first turnover.
Robinson threw a low lateral pass
to junior wide receiver Seth Newton.
Since the throw was behind the line of
scrimmage, the loose ball was consid-
ered a fumble. As Newton bent over
to pick it up, Kansas junior middle
linebacker Joe Mortensen flew onto
the scene.
Mortensen dove on the fumble
and the Jayhawks offense received
ideal field position at the 50-yard line.
Kansas senior kicker Scott Webb made
a 30-yard field goal less than two min-
utes later to hand Kansas the lead.
We knew coming into the game
that it would be important to take care
of the ball, Robinson said, because
they are good at taking care of it them-
selves.
Were they ever. Kansas sophomore
quarterback Todd Reesing controlled
the flow of the game by delivering
accurate passes all night. With 40 more
attempts Saturday, Reesing has com-
pleted 179 consecutive passes without
an interception.
Gundy saidhe was impressedby the
way Kansas took care of the football.
He mentioned it when posed a simi-
lar question to Devereaux regarding
national championship possibilities.
Its hard for me to comment on
that, Gundy said. But what Ill say
is they are a very solid football team
because they dont make mistakes and
dont beat themselves.
Orange-clad faithful arose from
their seats with eight minutes remain-
ing inthe game to support the Cowboy
offense. Oklahoma State trailed by 12
points and a touchdown drive would
have put it back in the game.
But Jayhawk junior cornerback
Aqib Talib quickly ended those hopes
by intercepting a Robinson pass
four plays into the possession. Webb
knocked another field goal through
minutes later and Kansas fans rejoiced
because their teamwas one game clos-
er to a possible national championship
berth.
Oklahoma State junior safety Ricky
Price said he wouldnt be surprised if
Kansas made it there. Not if they keep
winning the turnover battle.

MENS BASKETBALL WRAP-UP
sports 6B Monday, noveMber 12, 2007
Unless youve been on Mars for
the last few months, youve proba-
bly noticed that New England-area
teams can do no wrong. Actually,
better make it Jupiter.
The New England Patriots are
the only undefeated team left in
the NFL, and the Boston Celtics
are the only undefeated team left
in the NBA. On Thursday, the
New England Revolution clinched
a spot in the MLS Cup, and last
month, the Boston Red Sox won
their second World Series in four
years. Until two weeks ago, Boston
College was the No. 2 football
team in the country. Im pretty
sure I even saw the sun revolving
around Boston the other day.
But sports fans in the 50-mile
stretch between Allen Fieldhouse
and Arrowhead Stadium are pret-
ty blessed, as well.
With the No. 4 Kansas mens
basketball teams victories against
Louisiana-Monroe and UMKC
during the weekend, and the No.
4 Kansas football teams victory
against Oklahoma State Saturday,
both teams are simultaneously
undefeated for the first time in
school history. The Kansas wom-
ens basketball team even joined
the party, winning its season
opener Sunday.
Down the road in Kansas
City, the Wizards reached the
MLS Western Conference
Championship, despite being the
lowest seed in the West. Even
after weeks of embarrassing foot-
ball, the Chiefs could still Forrest
Gump their way to an AFC West
title. And all last week Garth
Brooks rocked capacity crowds at
the Sprint Center (hey, Brooks
was invited to the Royals Spring
Training in 2004).
While New England sports
enthusiasts might scoff at compar-
ing whats going on here in the
Midwest to their sports paradise,
the similarities are there.
Allen Fieldhouse on Naismith
Drive is without question the
college basketball equivalent to
Fenway Park on Yawkey Way.
Inside the Fieldhouse, Bill Self
looks to have the right combina-
tion of dual-guards, big men and
upperclassmen to make a Final
Four run. At the same time, for-
mer Jayhawk Paul Pierce looks
to have the running mates to go
deep in the NBA playoffs with the
Celtics.
While the Patriots are on pace
to become the first team to go 19-
0 in NFL history, Mark Manginos
Jayhawks are a victory this
Saturday away from going 11-0 for
the first time in school history.
When it comes to Kansas
superiority in mens basketball
and football, only New Englanders
can relate. Kansas is the only
school with Top 5 mens basket-
ball and football programs. The
only schools that come close are
Oregon (No. 12 and No. 2, respec-
tively) and Tennessee (No. 7 and
No. 19, respectively).
The most striking resemblance
between the two sports regions,
though, is the humble pie being
served to Kansas athletes.
Friday night, senior forward
Darnell Jackson had a dominating
performance, scoring 21 points
and swiping four steals in just 18
minutes. But you wouldnt have
known it to talk to him after the
game.
When asked what he thought
he needed to improve on most,
his answer was, Everything.
When asked whether he thought
he might get more minutes in
the future, he said hed be fine
playing one minute, grabbing two
rebounds and scoring one point
if it was best for the team. I just
try to do the dirty work, Jackson
said.
Throw in some seafood and a
Sam Adams and Id swear I was in
New England.

This wasnt Kansas against
Louisiana-Monroe. On Friday, Kansas
opened its season with a 107-78 vic-
tory, and it was 40 minutes of fun and
gun; a track meet on basketball floor;
one of those Pick your SportsCenter
Top 10 moment games. No, Kansas
85-62 victory against UMKC was
something different.
From the opening tip, UMKC
played the role of annoying gnat. The
Kangaroos pestered the Jayhawks all
game long with an assortment of
elbows, scratches and slaps mixing
in a hard foul every few minutes for
good measure. Yep, it was certainly
different as the Friday night high-
lights were replaced by Sunday night
floor burns.
Junior guard Mario Chalmers,
who fueled the Jayhawk offense with
23 points, also summed up the teams
strategy for dealing with harassing
opponents.
Anytime a team tries to come in
and punk you on your home court,
you got to go in there and try to be
physical with them, and thats what
what we do, Chalmers said.
Tempers certainly flared against
UMKC. The Kangaroos only com-
mitted 22 fouls, a number that could
have been higher, but they bogged
down the KU big men with a swarm-
ing 2-3 zone and made a point to put
a body on every Kansas player that
ventured into the paint.
I thought, truthfully, we out-
hustled them, UMKC coach Matt
Brown said.
The on-court confrontations
between Kansas and UMKC never
went over the edge, but when a
UMKC player bumped senior guard
Russell Robinson in the first half,
several Jayhawks, including senior
forward Darnell Jackson, rushed to
Robinsons defense.
They were competitive. We
were competitive, Robinson said.
Anytime you get two competitive
teams out there, theres going to be a
little animosity. And thats what it was
today, but it was all in good spirits.
And after Kansas high-flying aer-
ial battle on Friday, a tough, grind-it-
out game might have been just what
the Jayhawks needed.
Kansas was 20-0 last season when
scoring 80 points and an impres-
sive, yet more modest 13-5 when
held under the 80-point benchmark.
Kansas struggled last season against
hard-nosed physical teams like
Southern Illinois, UCLA and Texas
A&M teams that pride them-
selves on their defense. Kansas lost
to UCLA 69-55 in last years Elite
Eight and fell 69-66 to Texas A&M
in Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks
barely squeaked by the brutish
defense of Southern Illinois, winning
61-58 in the Sweet 16. Kansas did
top 80 points against UMKC, and
while the Jayhawks will face much
more athletic defenses than the one
UMKC put forth, they will be hard-
pressed to find a team that matches
the Kangaroos intensity.
It was good for us to sweat and
to play under some duress, Kansas
coach Bill Self said.
WhereS cole?
Freshman center Cole Aldrich
didnt enter the
game until only
three minutes
remained in the
second half. It
might have been
surprising given
that he scored
six points Friday
night, but Kansas
coach Bill Self had his reasons. He
didnt think Aldrich was ready to play
with UMKCs big men, who consis-
tently move out to the three-point
line in its wide open offense.

a better deFenSe
UCLA was the only team to shoot
better than 50 percent last year against
Kansas. Louisiana-Monroe did that
in the first game of the season Friday
night. Self wasnt pleased. Sunday
against UMKC, the Jayhawks did bet-
ter, allowing the Kangaroos to shoot
43 percent, but Self said there was still
plenty of room for improvement.
When they beat us tonight it was
because we were not as sound as we
should be in some areas, Self said.
They also ran a good offense, too,
and made some tough shots.

darrell arthUrS oFF
nIght
Arthur did score 13 points, but
he could have had more if not for
missed dunks and easy inside shots.
After two games, Arthur is averag-
ing 12.5 points per game when many
people thought he would become
the Jayhawks go-to-guy. Russell
Robinson isnt worried about him.
We all have a long ways to go, he
said. He missed a couple of bunnies
and dunk, but he is going to show
up when time comes. In practice, he
is unstoppable inside. Now we just
have to get that to carry over into the
game.

Sunday night when it made only 16
of 31.
Those free throws, offensive mis-
takes and solid UMKC shooting all
kept the Kangaroos in the game.
Maybe Kansas didnt show enough
of a killer instinct, maybe UMKC
played a great game.
Or like Self said, it was probably a
little bit of both.
I wasnt real pleased with every-
thing, he said. But it was good
for us to play against a team that
changed defense and did a lot of dif-
ferent things with short preparation
and have to respond to that.

Questions about Brandon Rushs
health, Cole Aldrichs progress and
Sasha Kauns rebounding can be
answered later. After Kansas 107-
78 romp against the University
of Louisiana-Monroe, the biggest
question is this:
Who had the best highlight?
Darrell Arthur, Sherron Collins
and Darnell Jackson dunked, floated
and banked in scintillating shots in
Kansas impressive victory in the
first round of the Jayhawk Classic
r o u nd - r o b i n
t o u r n a me nt .
The Jayhawks
(1-0) used a 25-
10 run during
the first seven
minutes of the
second half to
build an insur-
mountable lead.
They are a
real good team,
L o u i s i a n a -
Monroe guard
Tony Hooper said. Without them
even having Brandon Rush, they are
still a very tough team. They are top
five in the country. Theres not too
much you can say about that.
Now back to those highlights.
Jackson, a senior forward, isnt
going to forget this night anytime
soon. He bested his old career high
of 13 points by pouring in 21 points
in only 18 minutes. No one could
stop Jackson. His 6-foot-8 frame
withstood the shoves well enough
that he was able to finish three plays
when he was fouled.
But his finest highlight came
when he entered the lane untouched.
Junior guard Mario Chalmers hit
Jackson as he ran down the middle of
the paint. Jackson leaped several feet
away from the basket, threw down a
one-handed jam and looked like an
NBA big-timer in the process.
Just dont expect Jackson to ever
think of himself as a star. Hed rather
bang in the paint than do the fancy
stuff.
If I was the 10th man on the
team, Id be fine with that, Jackson
said. If I got
in there and
played one min-
ute and got two
rebounds, Id be
happy with that.
Im just glad
Coach Self has
the confidence
in me to go out
there and help
the team.
Not to be out-
done by Jackson,
Collins also made a run at a career
high. The sophomore guard let
Kansas coach Bill Self know he has a
tough decision to make concerning
his guard rotation when Rush comes
back. He scored 22 points(one short
of his career high) and did so on a
variety of dribble-drive floaters and
transition lay-ups. Oh yeah, lets not
forget the three pointers.
Collins tickled the twine twice
in a row in the second half to give
Kansas its 86th and 89th points. He
made 4-of-7 from behind the arc.
Arthur didnt approach career
highs like Collins or Jackson,
although he did make the crowd ooh-
and-aah a few more times including
when he made the first three-point-
er of his career.
Arthur stum-
bled backwards
and tossed
the ball off the
backboard as
time expired in
the first half. He
didnt call glass.
I didnt know
it was going in,
Arthur said. I
just shot it up
there out of des-
peration.
Nice, but not as pleasing as his
second-half dunk. Arthur finished
an alley-oop with an unsuspect-
ing Mitchell Hampton of Louisiana-
Monroe between his legs.
So, who had the better play:
Arthur with the alley-oop, Collins
with the consecutive three point-
ers or Jackson with the one-handed
slam? Judge Darrell Arthur made
the pick.
Da r n e l l s
dunk through
the lane because
he dunked on
two people
down there,
Arthur said. He
reminded me of
KG a little bit or
Amare because
he just powered
through the lane
on everybody. It
was amazing.
The highlights were good for
more than just time on Sportscenter.
They showcased Kansas athleticism
and speed.
The Jayhawks had their way with
the Warhawks in transition and on
the glass. Louisiana-Monroes speedy
four-guard lineup looked like turtles
as Kansas players swiped the ball 15
times and ran for 14 fast-break points.
Of course, Self wasnt raving
about the offensive highlights and
transition buckets; he cared about
the defense. Kansas let Louisiana-
Monroe shoot 51 percent from the
field. Only UCLA shot the ball that
well last season.
Thats one of the poorest defen-
sive performances weve had in a
long time, Self said.
But he still nominated a top play.
That play where Darnell showed
on the down screen and deflected
it. Rod ran it down and dove for it,
and Darnell finished with a three-
point play, Self said about Jacksons
and-one lay-up in the second half.
Thats about as good as a play weve
had in a long time.
Rush update
Coach Bill Self gave an update on
the status of junior Brandon Rush
after the game. Self said that nothing
had changed and that Rush was still
on track to return the first week of
December.
The exact date has not been set,
but hes basically doing everything,
Self said.
But will Rush return for the USC
game in Los Angeles on Dec. 2?
I dont want to give away the
exact odds, but Ill say 51-49, Self
said jokingly.
Self also said that once Rush
returns, he would continue to wear
the knee brace that he has been
sporting in pre-game warm-ups.
upset watch
Michigan State lost to Grand
Valley State, Ohio State fell to
Findlay, Kentucky was upset by
Gardner-Webb and Mercer defeated
USC. The college basketball season
has been turned upside down, and
Darnell Jackson said Kansas has
noticed.
It has been on everyones mind
entering this game, the coaching
staff and the players. We are watch-
ing other teams fall against Division
II schools, and we dont want that to
happen to us like it did against Oral
Roberts, Jackson said.
Beasley watch
The Jayhawks werent the only
ones filling up the stat sheet on Friday
night. Kansas States Michael Beasley
had 32 points and 26 rebounds a
Big 12 conference record in a
94-63 victory against Sacramento
State. Former Texas Longhorn Kevin
Durant and former Kansas forward
Nick Collison previously held the

Victory ends eventful week
BY SCOTT TOLAND
stoland@kansan.com
A victory on Saturday against
Drury University capped an exciting
week for the Kansas swimming and
diving team, just two days after one
of the teams athletes was named the
Big 12 Swimmer of the Week.
Junior Maria Mayrovich was rec-
ognized as the Big 12 Swimmer of the
Week on Thursday after outstanding
performances in dual meets against
Missouri and Arkansas. Mayrovich
claimed first place in four events in
each of the meets while setting new
records for Robinson Natatorium for
the 100- and 200-yard freestyle races.
This is a really nice honor for
Maria, coach Clark Campbell said.
Were real excited for her. She had
a great summer and fall period of
training for the season.
With the victory Saturday, the
swimming and diving team improved
to 3-2 in dual meets for the season.
The Jayhawks defeated the Panthers
171-68, winning all of the meets
events while setting new records for
Drurys Breech Pool.
Mayrovich again helped led the
way for Kansas, as she won the 100-
yard freestyle race with a new record
time for the pool. Junior Danielle
Hermann and sophomore Alicia
Casillas also clocked new record
times for Breech Pool. Hermann set a
new mark in the 200-yard individual
medley race while Casillas broke the
old record in the 1,000-yard freestyle
event. Casillas also was victorious in
the 500-yard freestyle race.
They have hosted several big
meets in the past, Campbell said.
All three of those swims were really
good races.
Sophomores Emily Lanteigne
and Carrah Haley and junior Ashley
Ledigh also recorded victories for the
Jayhawks in their respective events.
Kansas also was successful in the
diving competitions, as freshman
Erin Mertz and sophomore Meghan
Proehl each claimed victories in the
three-meter and the one-meter board
events, respectively.
Drury is as good as any Division
I team well face all year, Campbell
said. We went in there, and our
goals were to be tough and have
energy and enthusiasm. I thought we
accomplished all three of our goals
for the meet.
The next event scheduled for the
diving team is the Houston Diving
Invitational on Thursday. The swim-
mers have a two-week break from
competition before they travel to
Ohio for the Kenyon Nike Invite on
Nov. 29.

All season, Kansas has fought,
scratched and clawed its way through
its unforgiving
Big 12 confer-
ence schedule.
One might have
thought all the
fight had been
drained out of
this team after it
ground out only
four victories in
its first 16 con-
ference matches. But after Kansas 3-
2 (16-30, 24-30, 30-24, 33-31, 15-11)
comeback victory against Colorado
on Saturday night in Boulder, Colo.,
one thing was evident: This team
has plenty of fight left. For Kansas
coach Ray Bechard, the theme of the
night was simple. Sometimes a team
has to win ugly.
I told them that even if its not
the prettiest of volleyball, we just
have to fight, and although we
werent pretty tonight, we were effi-
cient, Bechard said.
Saying the Jayhawks play was
ugly during the first two games
on Saturday is an understatement.
Kansas came out flat in game one
and Colorado promptly thumped
Kansas 30-16. Some of the ugliness
carried over into game two, a game
the Jayhawks lost 30-24.
But Kansas responded to its
coachs demands with one of its
better offensive performances of the
season.
Freshman outside hitter Jenna
Kaiser had 17 kills and hit .389, and
senior right side/setter Emily Brown
had 15 kills and 41 assists to lead a
Kansas team that finished with a .263
hitting percentage. The Jayhawks
also were buoyed by freshman out-
side hitter Karina Garlington and
junior middle blocker Natalie Uhart.
Garlington had 14 kills and Uhart
added 13 in Kansas second Big 12
road victory of the season.
We got into a better rhythm,
Bechard said of his teams comeback
in games three, four and five.
Kansas took game three 30-24,
but still had to hold off Colorado
in game four. Colorado had a 29-
28 advantage and a chance to close
out the match. But Brown helped
Kansas stave off defeat with a kill,
and Kaiser finished a ball on the
next play to give Kansas a 31-30
lead. Colorado tied it at 31-31 on the
next point, but two straight Uhart
kills gave Kansas a 33-31 game four
victory.
The Jayhawks jumped out to a
6-1 lead in game five and closed out
the match with a 15-11 victory.
The theatrics came late, but
Bechard said he actually thought
the momentum changed at the end
of the second game.
At the end of game two, we
started playing better, Bechard said.
Before game three, I told the girls,
If we want to extend the match,
weve got to keep playing better.
Kansas improved to 12-15, 5-
12 in the Big 12 conference, while
Colorado dropped to 6-19, 1-16 in
the Big 12.
Im just glad they let us play after
game two, Bechard said. Because
for the first 45 minutes, it was not
pretty.

game review
Melissa Manda
leads defense
Bechard said he was pleased
with the performance of
freshman libero Melissa
Manda, Wichita freshman.
She led Kansas with 27 digs
against Colorado, and the
next closest Jayhawk, Karina
Garlington, had only seven.
Manda is averaging 3.97 digs
per game this season.

On Saturday, the rowing team
traveled to Manhattan to com-
pete against Kansas State in the
Sunflower Showdown. Kansas lost
to Kansas State 16-9, marking the
Wildcats first victory against the
Jayhawks since 2005.
The novice team beat Kansas
State in three races. The first, second
and third Novice Eight crews all fin-
ished ahead of Kansas State, scoring
all of Kansas nine points.
After the first Novice Eight crew
edged Kansas State by seven sec-
onds, Kansas led the regatta 9-3.
Freshman coxswain Elise Langtry,
freshmen Melanie Luthi, Cassie
Sparks, Meaghan Oven, Julia
Matthias and Julia Guard and soph-
omores Denise Orloff, Jenny Robb
and Inga Schuchard comprised the
winning Novice Eight crew.
Following the Jayhawks 9-3 lead,
the Wildcats rallied to win the first
and second Varsity Eight races, giv-
ing the Wildcats 16 points total for
the regatta.
Though Kansas lost the regatta,
the Jayhawks are set for success.
Sixty of the 75 members of the team
are in their first or second years of
rowing and will only get better.
We are really coming around. I
think we might be able to turn the
spring into a reloading year instead
of a rebuilding year, coach Rob
Catloth said in a press release fol-
lowing Saturdays regatta.
The regatta was Kansas final race
of the fall. The teams next regatta
will be on March 22 next year in
Tulsa, Oklahoma against the Tulsa
Golden Hurricanes.

SCORING OPTIONS
Sophomore Danielle McCray, who
led the team in points in the two
exhibition games, scored 13 first-half
points in Sundays win.
She was then shut out in the sec-
ond half, but freshman Nicollette
Smith, who had only three first-half
points, picked up the slack to lead the
team with 19 points.
Sophomore Sade Morris also
scored 17 points.
We need balance, coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. Its good for us
to be able to have three people you
can count on, then a fourth can still
emerge and they can all rotate.
GREEN LIGHT
After Smith lit up the scoreboard
with her 4-for-7 effort from beyond
the arc, Henrickson joked that her
freshman sharpshooter was given the
green light as soon as she crossed the
half-court line.
Smith had proved that theory in
the first half when she pulled up and
drained a shot from the beak of the
Jayhawk logo at half-court, which is
about four feet longer than the three-
point line.
BONNIE ON ImPROvING
dEfENSIvELy:
Once everyone in the program
embraces the idea of turning up the
heat defensively, and realizes that it
is not that much harder to play qual-
ity defense, then we are going to be
in good shape. If we run and run,
then somebody is going to have to
eventually call a timeout to stop the
bleeding.

stripe, and Smith was a perfect 7-
for-7.
I had to take a deep breath and
calm myself down, Smith said. Free
throws have been a point of empha-
sis the past couple of days.
Sophomores Danielle McCray
and Sade Morris teamed up to shoot
5-of-6 on three-pointers and scored
30 points for Kansas.
Some games it happens, other
times it wont, said Morris of the
teams three-pointers. We did a
good job tonight.

Nicollette Smith arrived at Kansas
after fending off interest from Missouri,
Texas A&M and Middle Tennessee State
among others.
Sunday afternoon against the
Hartford Hawks, Kansas fans got their
first glimpse of the 62 freshman for-
wards potential. Smith scored 19 points
and gathered 10 rebounds to register
her first collegiate double-double and
lead Kansas to victory in her first official
game as a Jayhawk.
Smith did most of her damage from
behind the arc. A highly touted shooter
coming out of high school in Tulsa,
Okla., she lived up to her reputation by
draining 4-of-7 three pointers and seven
free throws in as many attempts.
She is as good a shooter as Ive ever
coached, coach Bonnie Henrickson
said.
After five minutes of uninspired play
to begin the game, Smith set the tone
for Kansas when she hit a deep three
from the right wing. The shot gave the
Jayhawks their first lead of the game and
ignited a 23-6 run to give the team its
largest lead of the game.
Like many shooters, Smiths confi-
dence is contagious. Smith and sopho-
more guards Danielle McCray and Sade
Morris fed off one another as Kansas
shot 69 percent from three-point range
on 11 of 16 shooting.
If she misses three in a row I think
the next one is going in, so does she
and so does everybody on the bench,
Henrickson said.
For now, Smith has instructions to
keep shooting. Her quick release, seem-
ingly unlimited range and size make her
a mismatch for almost any team. Though
still only a true freshman, Smiths role on
this years Kansas squad seems assured.
If I get the ball, Im open and Im
feeling it, coach tells me I have the green
light, she said.
