The day after the Dow Jones suffered
a 20 percent drop its largest one-day
decline in the markets history Paul
Koch, the O. Maurice Joy Professor of
Business, had at least one thing he wanted
to make clear to students in his Futures
and Options class.
The sky isnt falling, Koch said.
Youre all going to get jobs.
The class, which teaches students in
the School of Business how to navigate a
dizzying array of financial formulas that
predict and guide actual business transac-
tions, often begins with a 10- to 20-min-
ute discussion period in which current
world events are examined through the
lens of the economic theories and princi-
ples taught by Koch and other professors
in Summerfield Hall.
The discussions have increasingly
shifted focus from broad generalities to
specific events that seem to change the
economic forecast for the country and the
world from one day to the next. Many
of the students in the course are near-
ing graduation, and every hint of a finan-
cial downturn and possible recession can
appear as a bad omen to students about to
enter the job market.
You guys are going to get jobs, and
youre going to start investing in your
401ks, Koch told the class. Dont you
want to buy stocks now, when theyre low?
Isnt this good for you? Youre not retiring
tomorrow.
Koch recently garnered a modicum of
media attention as a signatory to a letter
addressed to Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Robert Byrd
(D-W.Va.), the current president pro tem-
pore of the Senate. The letter, signed by
more than 200 economists from 100 uni-
versities around the nation and read on
the floor of the House of Representatives,
urged caution in approving the $700 bil-
lion Emergency Economic Stabilization
Act of 2008.
Both chambers of Congress have since
passed the bill and President Bush signed
it into law on Oct. 3. The letter cited three
major causes for concern: the question of
the legislations fairness, its lack of trans-
parency and oversight and the potential
for long-term, unintended consequences.
I view the last several weeks as a short-
term liquidity crisis, and as the result of
some past behavior in the financial markets,
particularly the real estate markets, said
Koch, who described the letter as a plea to
Congress, the U.S. Treasury and other lead-
ers to simply not be hasty. He emphasized
that his primary concern was the ambigu-
ous nature of some portions of the proposed
legislation, rather than the dollar amount.
I dont like the term bailout, Koch
said. Its really a $700 billion line of cred-
it. I think thats actually a good idea. The
liquidity crisis reflects the engine of the
economy coming to a stop. We need to
grease the engine of the economy to get it
going again, and credit is the grease that
makes the economic engine work.
Kochs students arent the only ones in
the School of Business finding themselves
engaged in discussions revolving around
campus
Professor assures students jobs will still exist

The sound of gunshots echoed through
the woods of Fort Riley Saturday as KU
Army ROTC cadets neared the enemys
bunker on a field
training exercise.
But the enemy was
only fellow ROTC,
the guns were filled
with blanks and the
grenades were tennis
balls.
Aaron Hunter,
Topeka sophomore,
led his squad of eight
cadets to the ridge
across from the ene-
mys bunker. The only thing stopping
them from completing their mission
was a small stream and the pounding
inside their chests from the uncertainty
of what could happen.
Thick smoke from a smoke bomb
appeared in the streambed and wafted
up. Hunter had enough cover to cross
the stream and approach the bunker
from the side, right in the enemys
blind spot. Covered by his squad firing
guns, Hunter dropped to a crawl to get
closer to the spray-painted black bun-
ker. When he had
reached the outer
edge, he reached
his arm around the
front of the bunker
and tossed in a ten-
nis ball.
Grenade i n!
he shouted. The
two enemy forces
dropped their heads
to the ground, sig-
naling defeat.
About 90 Army ROTC cadets gath-
ered at Fort Riley on Friday afternoon
for their most intensive field training
exercise, FTX, of the semester. The
three-day-long FTX puts the Army
ROTC underclassmen in real-life situ-
ations where they learn critical problem
solving and improve their leadership
skills from soldiers who have actually
served overseas. The ROTC is divided
into seven different lanes that funnel
into a central location, where the main
campsite and base are. Each lane pres-
ents the ROTC with
different missions
that encourage the
development of basic
skills and actions,
like blocking and
tackling.
Col onel John
Basso is the battalion
commander for the
KU Army ROTC. He
said the situational
training in lanes was
a weekly exercise for
the KU Army ROTC. Throughout the
semester, the cadets spend two hours a
week running through smaller lanes on
the Universitys West Campus and one
hour a week in class.
We do labs not with Bunsen burn-
ers but still hands-on stuff, Basso
said. We use this training because we
want everyone to be a good soldier and
its a good way to put people in pressure
situations and see how they respond.
The simulated combat at Fort Riley
is a reminder for the
cadets of the reality
of a war they could
fight in after being
commissioned as
officers. Brian Mills,
Leavenworth fresh-
man, said drilling
was the only real
way to learn how to
accomplish a mission
and learn common
tasks a soldier would
face in combat.
When bullets start flying and people
start taking hits, you cant think, Mills
said. Youve just got to have it ingrained
in you so you can do what you need

With temperatures on the
decline, the Wakeboarding Club
will make a few last trips to Clinton
Lake before its too cold to swim.
The summer weather allows for
periodic excursions to the local
lake, 10 minutes from campus,
where they help each other develop
their skills.
Tony Gatti, the vice president of
the Wakeboarding Club, said the
season only runs from the begin-
ning of April to the middle of
November.
Even though the Kansas winters
keep them off the water, they still
meet on campus during the cold
season.
In the off-season we meet a
couple times and hang out and
oftentimes our fundraiser is in the
off-season, Gatti said.
Wakeboarding necessities come
at a relatively high price, with
equipment ranging from the boat
and board, all the way to the gas
and tow ropes.
We lease the boat, and the
money for that is supplied by KU
because of participation and club
level. Then we pay for the rest of
the club through cleaning Allen
Fieldhouse and club dues, Gatti
said.
Like most clubs and organiza-
tions at KU, the Wakeboard Club
is available to all students and no
prerequisites are required.
We get many types of skill level,
from people who have never seen
a wakeboard to advanced riders,
Gatti said.
Those who join with little or
no experience are never excluded
because those with more experi-
ence have no problem teaching.
We teach it in multiple ways;
oftentimes you break down what
they are trying to learn in general
terms and then have them try it and
tell them things to do. Like a trial-
and-error approach, Gatti said.

Long in the tooth? Yep,
woman fnds fossil tooth
CAPLEN, Texas A hom-
eowner whose beachfront
property in Texas was destroyed
during Hurricane Ike has found
a football-size fossil tooth in the
debris.
Dorothy Sisk and her col-
league, Lamar University paleon-
tologist Jim Westgate, visited her
Bolivar Peninsula home after Ike
hit. Together they found some-
thing unusual in Sisks front yard:
a 6-pound fossil tooth.
Westgate believes the fossil
is from a Columbian mammoth
common in North America until
around 10,000 years ago.
The tooth, which looks like
a series of boot soles or slices
of bread wedged together, is
expected to be sent to the Texas
Memorial Museum in Austin.

Tim Miller hopes to explore
how American suburbs developed
by looking at some of Americas
favorite foods barbecue, TV
dinners and frozen foods.
I wanted to
do something
that was interest-
ing, Miller said.
S o me t h i n g
people could
relate to.
Miller, lec-
turer of his-
tory and recent
KU graduate,
researched modern food history
for his dissertation and is rewriting
his research to get it published. He
is currently searching for a publish-
ing company.
He said his research tied food
to larger cultural and social issues
between 1946 to 1963, such as sub-
urban sprawl, the civil rights move-
ment and womens employment. It
covers the rises of barbecues, cock-
tail parties, ethnic food and conve-
nience foods, including TV dinners
and frozen foods. One of his main
sources of information was food
reviews published in New York dur-
ing the time period he studied.
Miller said a new lifestyle and
culture formed in suburbs, which
influenced the way Americans
cooked and ate.
James Mayo, chair and professor
of urban planning, said the num-
ber of homeowners increased after
World War II because of the eco-
nomic boom, the extended period
of mortgage payments and a GI Bill
that allowed veterans to get home
loans. This, he said, along with the
increasing number of car owners,
helped shift large numbers of peo-
ple to suburbs across the country.
Miller said barbecues became
popular because houses were
smaller and did not have enough
space for guests indoors.
Barbecues were a very big deal
during the time period with men
getting into cooking, Miller said.
His research also showed that
Italian food became popular
among suburbanites as increasing
numbers of Italian people moved
to suburbs.
Miller also said convenience foods
became popular among middle class-
es when more women started work-
ing. Frozen foods, canned foods and
TV dinners were introduced after
World War II. He said a variety of
cake mixes were also popular.
Miller said that those foods were
always popular among Americans,
but that until the 1960s, people
didnt know that many of them
were unhealthy. He said the Food
and Drug Administration did not
investigate foods as much as they
do today, and food companies
had more power over consumers.
The foods often contained high
amounts of fat, artificial flavors
and colors, and many people were
not aware of the health problems
related to those ingredients.
There was no conception that
this stuff is bad for you, Miller said.
At least with our society today,
there are different voices out there.
Karl Brooks, associate profes-
sor of history and environmental
studies who was also an adviser for
Miller, said that many Americans
still live in suburbs and that Millers
research helped people understand
more about American culture.
He believes food tells a story,
Brooks said. How it was changed
from the past to the present helps
us to understand the suburbs and
important change after World
War II.
Miller said his next project was
about the history of chocolate chip
cookies. He said his research would
focus on the ingredients of choco-
late chip cookies and stories about
the cookies and ingredients, some
of which were spread around the
world after the European explo-
ration of the Americas in the late
15th century.
If you look at chocolate, you
can talk about what is called the
Columbian Exchange, Miller said.
So you can talk about how foods
go around the world.
Miller said he wanted to write
books about food history as he
became a history professor.

economic theory in practice. Nick
Sherf, Leawood senior, said he had
recently seen questions appear on
tests that were obviously affected by
recent changes in the economy.
Its not so much the topics of
discussion that change, but the real
world application of these princi-
ples, Sherf said. He cited a recent
d i s c u s s i o n
of the hous-
ing markets
collapse and
how its effect
on the labor
market had in
turn slowed
down both
legal and illegal
immigration in
recent months.
K a y l i e
Traban, Leawood senior, said that
while she felt her job prospects were
strong as an accounting major, she
was still trying to deal with a poten-
tial job shortage.
Even though theyre always
looking for people in accounting to
deal with the new laws and regula-
tions, Im still definitely worried,
Trabon said. I know everyones
cutting down on the number of
new hires. I
have a lot of
friends who
g r a d u a t e d
last year who
still have not
found jobs. Its
definitely wor-
risome.
Trabon said
she hoped to
find an intern-
ship in the
spring, and hoped to parlay that
into full-time employment.
Other students are seeing the
recent turbulence in the markets as
an incentive to further their educa-
tion. Jarryd Dudley, St. Louis senior,
said his entrepreneurship class had
been studying the $700 billion eco-
nomic package in terms of its effects
on burgeoning businesses, especially
in terms of inflation.
It doesnt look good, at least not
for middle-class people like myself,
Dudley said.
Dudley said as he approached
his turn to walk down the hill
in May, he had been spending
a lot of time researching finan-
cial and investment companies
in the hopes of landing a job
with a secure firm. Dudley said
it seemed just as likely, however,
that he might simply apply for an
MBA program.
It may make me want to stay in
school longer for a chance at get-
ting a better job at a younger age,
Dudley said.

to do to survive. If you have to
think, youre a weak link in the
chain.
In the missions, cadets lead
squads of eight other cadets.
Within the squad, two other
cadets lead an alpha team and a
bravo team. Two cadres, or train-
ing staff, work with each squad
member individually to coach
them on their strengths and
weaknesses during each mission.
Basso said the 14 KU cadre
had served a total of 13 combat
tours in Iraq or Afghanistan and
provided professional leadership
training to the cadets. The cadre
focused on one or two cadets at
a time, giving them personal-
ized feedback so the cadets could
become more aware of their capa-
bilities.
Weve figured out pretty
quickly that the only way you can
really teach leadership is primar-
ily one-on-one, Basso said.
Cadet John Irvine, Leavenworth
senior, said the cadres first-hand
experience overseas helped cadets
realize the training missions
werent just make-believe.
When cadres say theyve seen
this in action when they were in
Iraq it really hits home, Irvine
said. Youre like, okay, I really
need to work on this stuff.
Tom Ferry, St. Michael, Minn.,
junior, came to the University to
major in business and had not
planned on joining the ROTC.
But in the middle of his freshman
year, Ferry joined a simultaneous
membership program with the
ROTC and the National Guard
because of the college benefits,
including possible scholarships
and a monthly stipend.
Ferry said he found many
aspects of his ROTC training
had benefitted him academically
and in his search for a business
internship. Ferry said cadets
ran 95 percent of the Jayhawk
Batallion and part of his duties as
an upperclassman was to plan the
FTX at Fort Riley.
When employers ask me what
I have done where Ive had to
show leadership, I can say, Well,
what havent I done? Ferry said.
How about planning three days
of meals, training and movement
for 100-plus people?
The field training incorporat-
ed cultural differences by having
several of the enemies dressed in
Middle-Eastern garb, but Irvine
said that wasnt the focus.
Its not us against them,
Irvine said. Thats not what the
army is. Its us doing our job. If
thats who it happens to be today,
then thats who it is.
Ferry said the cadets faced
minimal opposition from KU
students, because war protests
on campus and in Lawrence were
usually directed at the war, not at
cadets. He said whether or not he
agreed with the war didnt mat-
ter.
You watch every generation
before us do their part and go to
war, Ferry said. And its like, you
do your part.
Irvine said he joined the ROTC
because he wanted to step up to
the plate and serve his country.
He said he was defending the
rights of all citizens those who
supported the war as much as
those who opposed it.
Were defending their free-
dom so they have the right to say
that, Irvine said. If thats what
theyre going to do, then thats
their choice.
Ferry said, First Amendment,
right?
Irvine said, Right.

Secretary rice defends
visit to Kazakhstan
ASTANA, Kazakhstan Secre-
tary of State Condoleezza Rice on
Sunday rejected any suggestion
that U.S. eforts to build closer
ties to this former Soviet republic
are meant to undermine Russian
infuence in Central Asia.
This is not a zero-sum game,
she told reporters fying with her
to the Kazakh capital. U.S. gains
need not mean Russian losses,
she said.
First of all, Kazakhstan is an
independent country. It can have
friendships with whomever it
wishes, she said. Thats perfectly
acceptable in the 21st century, so
we dont see and dont accept any
notion of a special sphere of infu-
ence for Russia in this region.
Later at a joint news confer-
ence with her Kazakh counter-
part, Foreign Minister Marat
Tazhin, Rice said no one should
question Kazakhstans desire
to have good relations with all
countries in its region.
This is not some kind of con-
test for the afection of Kazakh-
stan, Rice said.
missile strike strains anti-

DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan
The Taliban are unusually
angry about the latest suspected
U.S. missile strike in Pakistan, a
sign a top militant may have died
in the attack, ofcials and resi-
dents said Sunday amid reports
the death toll rose by two to 24.
Elsewhere in Pakistans north-
west, an ofcial said some 15,000
Afghans had left a tribal region
the military is trying to wrest
from insurgents, but that tens of
thousands more had yet to meet
a government ultimatum to get
out by Sunday.
The U.S. has ramped up
cross-border strikes on alleged al-
Qaida and Taliban targets along
Pakistans side of the border with
Afghanistan, straining the two
nations anti-terror alliance.
The frontier region is believed
to be a possible hiding place
for al-Qaida leader Osama bin
Laden and his deputy Ayman
al-Zawahri.

Walking through campus last
Friday, I saw something that truly
shocked me, a rare occurrence
these days. Iraq veterans were pro-
testing against the war. A camou-
flaged watchtower had been erected
on the Stauffer-Flint lawn, where
the former soldiers distributed lit-
erature and chatted with students.
One veteran stood on a bench and
provoked the passing students with
brutal accounts of his experiences
during the war.
Most students walked right past
them. I did, too. KU students, and
most Americans for that matter, are
well-insulated from the sacrifices of
this war. Theres no draft, so why
should we care? We arent paying
for the war. Were borrowing the
money from China.
Although the military has been
at war, the nation hasnt. The struc-
ture of the modern military doesn't
require broad participation from
the general population. It is far too
easy to go to war. This is a huge
problem, which has been exempli-
fied by the war in Iraq.
The Pulitzer Prize winning-
historian David Kennedy wrote in
a recent op-ed in The New York
Times, Historys most potent mili-
tary force can now be put into
the field by a society that scarcely
breaks a sweat when it does so."
He worries that modern warfare,
which puts much less of a burden
on society at large, creates a danger-
ous precedent for military adven-
turism abroad.
He continues, The life of a
robust democratic society should be
strenuous; it should make demands
on its citizens when they are asked
to engage with issues of life and
death. The implication is that this
isn't the case anymore.
The United States military
embarks on grand campaigns in
distant corners of the world with
only the slightest inconvenience
to most of us. But when the U.S.
engages in the most fundamen-
tal issue of war and peace, of life
and death, the general population
should be involved in these deci-
sions and should make sacrifices.
In the presidential election of
1968, Richard Nixon, faced with
declined popular support for the
Vietnam War, promised to end to
the draft, which, as he correctly
reasoned, would remove a principle
argument for antiwar protestors
and the political opposition. Since
the end of conscription, the military
has become increasingly isolated
from society, and, in some respects,
more unrepresentative of society at
large with respect to background,
privilege or education.
I'm hesitant to support any pro-
gram of compulsory public ser-
vice, but we need to reconsider a
system in which our nation can
deploy such a powerful military
force without much inconvenience
to the public.
I picked up a copy of Sit-Rep,
a publication of the Iraq Veterans
Against the War. The front page
article argued, To understand what
it is to be a patriot, one must look
back at the proud revolutionary
traditions upon which this nation
was founded.
At the heart of these traditions is
the critical link between our demo-
cratic government and its citizens
sacrifice and participation in the
governments momentous decision
to wage war.

Why lawyers are
fghting depression
Why cant new uniforms
look like the old ones?
I am a 1967 KU graduate who
has been an intense Jayhawk
sports fan, always proud of
my Alma Mater and quick to
welcome visitors of opposing
teams to take in the scenic
beauty of our campus and to
check out all the wonderful tra-
ditions intrinsic to our football
game days.
Our band had always been
one of my greatest points of
pride; however, a few years ago
that changed when a gift of
new band uniforms brought a
drastic change in appearance.
Its great that someone was
willing to support our school in
such a major manner, but I wish
that money had not been used
to totally change the uniforms. I
wonder if anyone else has com-
pared the majesty of the old
style uniforms to the mediocrity
of the new ones?
Having seen them up close
for the frst time during the
Band Day parade a few week-
ends ago, I was dismayed to see
some of the high school bands
march by in uniforms that were
superior in both appearance
and quality to our new KU band
uniforms. Somehow the black
pants, plain blue vests and
simple capes just dont measure
up to the former uniforms that
were of such high quality and
that, in my opinion, were the
best looking band uniforms
of any collegiate band Id ever
seen.
I was pleased to read that
Dana Anderson had donated
$100,000 to enhance the band
program in the future, and I
salute the Anderson family for
their incredible support over
the years. I wish that I were
capable fnancially of donating
enough to restore the best
damned band in the land new
uniforms exactly like the former
ones that were so awesome to
see. Unfortunately, I cant, but
I can suggest that a fund be
created that would eventually
accomplish the switch back
to those red, white and blue
beauties.
Thanks for the opportunity
to state my opinion, which I
hope is shared by all alums who
have seen and can fairly com-
pare both types of uniforms.

The poet Samuel Taylor
Coleridge felt his depression as a
grief without a pang, void, dark,
and drear. For Philip Larkin, it
was an irresistible force meeting
an immovable object right in your
belly.
Lawyers, though, just call it
billable hours.
The legal profession is battling
closeted-gay-teenager-with-Bap-
tist-parents levels of depression. I
was even able to find two studies,
one with depression stats for law-
yers, the other for prisoners, and,
well, lets just say, if youre ever in a
courtroom with some overzealous
prosecutor trying to hit you with
20-to-life for waiting with intent
to loiter, you could be worse off.
You could be him.
Why are lawyers depressed?
What even is depression?
First stop: Kidshealth.org, the
definitive medical source for us
submorons. The site contains help-
ful hyperlinks such as Ive Never
Had My Period, So Whats This
Discharge?, Is My Penis Normal?
and other possible responses to
the Family Feud topic, Questions
Your Father Never Wants to Hear.
So after a small, personal site
detour its supposed to look like
THAT? I found this intense
Kids Health narrative description
of depression:
Lately Lindsay hasn't felt like
herself. Her friends have noticed
it, too. Kia was surprised when
Lindsay turned down her invita-
tion to go to the mall last Saturday
(Lindsay could always be counted
on to shop!).
No, my delightful and ambigu-
ously ethnic Kia, Lindsay is not a
terrorist or a vampire shes just
depressed! And possibly a were-
wolf. Losing interest in things you
used to enjoy, such as shopping or
being human when the moon is
full, is classic depression.
Why lawyers, though? After all,
lawyers earn so much money that
some are able to eventually pay off
their student loans.
Well, heres an analogy: The law
is to the soul what a gravel road
screaming by at 70mph is to the
unprotected human face. It is evis-
ceratingly dull, ripping off layer
after layer of conscious thought,
until only the raw, bleeding abyss
remains.
Whenever I read another poor-
ly drafted statute, my mind seethes
with black, Miltonic verse. Most
appellate court prose reads like the
scream of tortured angels.
I can still remember the moment
I looked down at my notes and saw
that Id just written reasonable
suspicion is more than a hunch but
less than a preponderance. And
that it made absolutely no sense.
This realization sent me tum-
bling down a spiral staircase of
epiphanies: that all Law was mere
word-wizardry, making sense only
in a legal frame of reference sepa-
rate from reality, that I had spent
all semester reifying legal fictions
in place of actual justice and that
the only probable way to stop the
spinning was the application of
large amounts of beer to reality.
Even the most liberal-minded
among us, after their first encoun-
ter with our convoluted Fourth
Amendment jurisprudence, would
pine for the simple elegance of
Hammurabis Code kill a man,
give his family a goat, look lustily
at a female, be crushed under 3
tons of jagged rock.
But, if law is so depressing, why
so many lawyers? One of my law
professors gave this defense:
I think that people who work
in the law are probably happier
than people who work in the sew-
ers. I mean, you have to consider
your options.
So, to be fair, pre-laws, before
writing that admissions essay-
cum-suicide note, consider: Do
you want to work knee deep in the
stinking filth and muck of society,
with only rats for colleagues?
Or would you rather work in
the sewers?

Where is the news
coverage about Bolivia?
Wed like to apologize for the
article Violence in Bolivia not so
far from home (Oct. 2), which
includes information regarding
the deaths of 30 people as well
as Bolivias expulsion of the U.S.
ambassador.
I must inform readers (whod
rather eat all the favors of Tads
Tropical Snow) they wont hear
about Bolivian hostilities. And if
they do, it wont be accurate.
Before being interviewed for
the article mentioned above,
I joked with friends on being
worried that things might be
misquoted or inaccurate. After
reading the article, I felt amused
that all my fears were correct.
The main idea is not to criticize
the writer. This goes beyond
that.
This is the not the way I ex-
pect to hear the news regarding
an international crisis, and those
tiny blurbs in the corner of the
newspaper arent enough.
I would assume that a paper
not reliant on sales can forget
the idea of being proftable
and truly embrace the outside
world. To those who have criti-
cized us for not having open
eyes to what is really going on
perhaps they could be opened
wider with more concrete and
accurate media.
But then again I guess its
my fault for trying to believe
I could let KU students know
about problems going on,
outside America. Its my fault for
believing that a paper run by
peers could help me get a clear
message across.
Maybe its even bigger than
this, its simply my fault for be-
lieving that America stands for
more than mainstream media,
but who am I to criticize a land
built by immigrants?

ASSOCiATED pRESS
BY AMANDA THOMPSON
editor@kansan.com
Meghan Canipe thought she
had gotten on the ball early. A
month before the Fall 2007 semes-
ter began, she started applying for
jobs. Canipe, Overland Park junior,
estimated that she picked up 40
applications for places around
Lawrence.
As the first day of the semester
approached, Canipe, still jobless,
called her prospective employers to
check on the status of her applica-
tions but to no avail.
They all told me the same
thing, that theyd put my applica-
tion on top, Canipe said. But
I never heard back from any of
them.
The search for on-campus jobs
was no easier for Canipe. She applied
to 10 more places on campus before
getting a job at Watson Library.
Ann Hartley, associate director
of the University Career Center, said
job searches this fall werent likely to
be easier. In August, online applica-
tions submitted for campus jobs
increased by almost 15 percent from
last year. For the 227 on-campus
jobs posted online so far this year,
6,151 applications were submitted
in the month of August alone.
The national unemployment rate
rose to 6.1 percent in August, its
highest in five years, according to
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This trend may make it harder for
students to find a job.
Mary Chappell, director of
University Recreation Services,
said the Student Fitness Recreation
Center employed about 300 stu-
dents during the year.
Just recently we had 77 applica-
tions turned in to fill two positions in
facility management, Chappell said.
She said that for other facility posi-
tions, such as working the front desk,
it was not unusual to get 100 applica-
tions or more for one position.
University libraries also expe-
rience an application increase in
the fall. Courtney Foat, adminis-
trative associate for libraries, said
fall was always the busiest time for
applications. Foat said the libraries
received anywhere from 50 to 300
student applications for one library
position.
One reason students such as
Canipe can have a difficult time find-
ing jobs is because theyre ineligible
for the Federal Work Study pro-
gram. Based on financial need, the
work study program provides fund-
ing to universities that goes toward
the wages of part-time students who
qualify. Students eligible for work
study have 75 percent of their wages
paid for by the program, and 25 per-
cent paid for by the University.
Campus employers really like
to find a student who is eligible for
Federal Work Study because they
can really save money or stretch a
thin budget, Hartley said.
The work study program offers
another program that benefits all
students, regardless of financial
need. This program, called the Job
Location and Development program,
was implemented at the University
in January and has increased online
postings of off-campus jobs.
The idea is to increase the
number of job postings available
to students through marketing to
employers and getting them to post
to our HawkStudent employment
Web site, Hartley said. This is
the first year that we have been able
to really promote and increase the
number of postings.
Job postings of compa-
nies looking to hire KU stu-
dents at the career centers part
of HawkStudent employment
Web site, KUCareerHawk.com,
increased dramatically in the last
year, climbing from 481 to 827.
These increased opportunities
dont necessarily mean jobs will
be easier to find off campus. Nick
Wysong, manager of Ingredient,
945 Massachusetts St., said he didnt
need to advertise because of the
many applications he had on hand.
Sometimes its just a numbers
game, Harley said. You just have
to keep applying, keep applying,
keep applying.

NEWS 6A MOnday, OctOber 6, 2008
BY JOE PREINER
jpreiner@kansan.com
Thor Nystrom was sitting in
a movie theater with a few of his
friends when his phone vibrated.
His mom was calling. Not want-
ing to distract others, he ignored
it. Seconds later, he received a text
message from his mom asking him
to call her right away. His first
thought was that a family member
had died.
It turned out to be better news
for the Spring 2008 graduate.
Nystrom had won first place in the
feature-writing category for Rolling
Stone magazines 33rd annual
College Journalism Competition.
He is featured in the October issue
of Rolling Stone, which hit shelves
nationwide last Friday.
Nystroms story, To Hell and
Back, chronicled his emotional
struggle with, and eventual over-
coming of, mental health issues.
Kevin ODonnell, assistant editor
for Rolling Stone, said Nystoms
piece edged out about 150 other
stories from students across the
country.
Nystrom said he remembered
sitting in his Depth Reporting class
last spring and being the only stu-
dent without an idea for the classs
major project. His inspiration
finally came after stumbling across
a story of a girls personal struggle
with an eating disorder. He said
he started thinking about his own
story and thought it would trans-
late well to a broad audience.
I had never really spoken about
it with anyone, Nystrom said, not
family, friends or anyone. I just
kind of let all those emotions fester.
I had to get it out eventually. I had
to write it for myself.
In writing the story, Nystrom
said, he was able to purge the
emotions he had held on to for
more than a year. For his own
sake, he made a deal with himself
to tell the story 100 percent truth-
fully. Telling the story became
more a personal necessity and less
a class project. He said if he had
considered the fact that friends,
family and complete strangers
would be reading the story, he
probably wouldnt have been able
to be as honest.
It was too important and too
personal at that point in my life,
Nystrom said. I was going to go
100 percent, or I wasnt going to
write it. I would have taken an F
in the class. Thats how important
it was.
One moment while writing
the story will stick with Nystrom
forever. After recounting his
experiences and writing the last
two paragraphs, he broke down.
Emotionally shattered, he couldnt
help but cry. He said that, in ret-
rospect, being able to conjure up
those emotions led him to believe
he was doing something right. At
that point, Nystrom said, he had
no conception that other people
would be reading his story.
Other people did.
After the story was printed in
the May 5, 2008 edition of The
University Daily Kansan, Nystrom
received more than 100 e-mails
from readers, most of whom he
didnt know. Expecting criti-
cism, he was overwhelmed by the
response.
Oh my God it was amazing,
Nystrom said. I didnt get one
negative comment. It was valida-
tion that I had written it the way I
needed to.
Ted Frederickson was the
journalism professor who taught
the Depth Reporting class for
which Nystroms story was his
major project. He praised it as
a goosebump-inducing narrative
that followed Thor from the dark
depths of despair to a personal
triumph that left me with tears
in my eyes. I have never found it
easier to read such a long piece in
a newspaper.
The Rolling Stone editors who
judged Nystroms piece agreed,
awarding him the $2,500 prize for
his winning story.
Eric Bates, executive editor for
Rolling Stone and director of the
College Journalism Competition,
said the story accomplished
something many feature stories
do not.
The piece pulled off one of
the most difficult feats in feature
writing telling a compelling and
heartrending story in the first per-
son, one with broader relevance to
all readers, without succumbing to
pathos or sensationalism, Bates
said.
Nystroms name and picture
appear on Page 8 of the edition of
Rolling Stone.

ugly.
But for coach Ray Bechard, a win is a
win, as Kansas picked up its second Big
12 victory on Saturday night, winning
against Texas Tech in four sets.
Theres times on the road that you
dont technically play as clean as youd like
to, Bechard said, but you grind it out a
little bit.
For Kansas, coming off a three-game
losing streak, the victory was a welcome
sight. Although those three teams were
all ranked, the Jayhawks were slipping in
the Big 12 standings, and it looked as if
the Red Raiders, with a 0-5 Big 12 record
heading into that match, would be an easy
team to defeat.
But as Bechard knows better than any-
one, there are no easy victories, especially
in the Big 12.
They are a quality team, Bechard
said of Texas Tech. Theyll just have a
hard time in this conference, just like all
of us do.
Both teams failed to reach a .200 hit-
ting efficiency and both had at least
25 hitting errors, the teams struggling
offenses making it difficult for either side
to gain momentum. But the difference
was Kansas had a player like sophomore
outside hitter Karina Garlington.
Even after suffering an ankle sprain
that helped shut her out in the first set
the first time she has not recorded a kill
in a set all season Garlington finished
with a match-high 18 kills. Garlington
put the burden on her shoulders during
Kansas tough stretches in the third and
fourth sets.
When there was chaos all around, and
we threw the ball up high, Karina was
there to take good swings, Bechard said.
The Hawks needed all the good swings
they could get in a crucial third set. With
the match tied at one game apiece, the
Jayhawks looked incredibly flat to open
the set. Kansas fell down 1-8 to start the
match.
But the Jayhawks scrapped back, with
the help of some Red Raider errors, to
cut the lead to four at 17-21. Then it was
all Garlington. From that point of the set,
Garlington dominated the Red Raiders
with four kills to help the Jayhawks climb
back and take the set 25-23.
Set four was no easier. There were 11
ties and five lead changes before Kansas,
once again led by Garlington with eight
kills in the set, put away the victory, win-
ning 25-22.
Garlington was not alone in her superb
efforts. Freshman outside hitter Allison
Mayfield stepped into the match with
some unexpected big minutes to finish
with 10 kills, and senior outside hitter
Savannah Noyes collected 13 kills with a
.500 hitting percentage.
Noyes has led the Jayhawks in hitting
percentage since Big 12 play started.
Savannah kind of took it upon herself
on a number of occasions to make big
plays for us, Bechard said. I think she
senses that her team needs her, and shes
come through.
Noyes, however, offered a more mod-
est response for her success during Big
12 play.
Nicole (Tate) just gets me the ball, and
I try to put it down, Noyes said.
Noyes said she hoped this victory
would be a springboard for the rest of the
season. Kansas plays unranked teams for
the rest of the month.
We definitely needed this one, Noyes
said. The next few games in October
that we play are ones that we can defi-
nitely win, so any road game win is pretty
huge.

AMES, Iowa For two quarters, it
looked more like Kansas was playing at
USC than at Iowa State.
Not only did the Cyclones uniforms
match the Trojans they played like
them, too.
ISU dominated every facet of the game
and used a loud and enthusiastic near-
capacity crowd to take a commanding
20-0 halftime lead that left the Jayhawks
wondering what the heck was going on.
It was just atrocious, quarterback
Todd Reesing said. We couldnt get any-
thing going.
But instead of chewing out his play-
ers and letting them know how poorly
they played, coach Mark Mangino instead
decided to use his halftime talk to calmly
rally his troops and keep their spirits up.
The last thing kids want to be told is
that they are doing a lousy job when they
know it, Mangino said. I said listen,
we played very poorly. We cant play any
worse. I mean lets face it, we played very
poor football in the first half but we can
win this game. If you believe in each other
like I think you do, then we will be OK.
And if it looked like Kansas was play-
ing USC in the first half, it looked more
like Iowa State was playing the New York
Giants in the second half.
Maybe it was Manginos pep talk.
Maybe it was Jake Sharps emergence.
Or maybe it was Todd Sparky Reesing
once again refusing to let his team lose.
Whatever it was, it worked.
Kansas scored 35 points in the games
final 30 minutes and pulled off the third
greatest comeback in school history, a
35-33 victory that improved the Jayhawks
to 4-1 overall and 1-0 in Big 12 play.
Night and day, Reesing said of the
two halves.
Kansas couldnt have started the game
any worse if they had tried. After three
straight three and outs, Jocques Crawford
fumbled to give the ball to Iowa State near
midfield. Raymond Brown then bumped
into Daymond Patterson as he attempted
to catch a punt, causing another fumble
that the Cyclones recovered once again.
And when it looked like it really couldnt
get any worse, Reesing was intercepted by
ISUs Leonard Johnson late in the second
quarter to send Kansas into the locker
room with the teams biggest deficit of the
season and an 0-1 start in conference play
staring the squad right in the face.
That first half was probably the worst
collective half I have been a part of since I
have been here, Reesing said.
If the first half was one of his worst,
than the second half had to be one of his
best. Reesing finished 18-26 for 319 yards
and three touchdowns on the game, but
almost all of those numbers came in the
second half.
Jake Sharp, who was banished to the
dog house recently for unproductive play,
led the comeback in his best game of the
season. He streaked down the left sideline
and scored on a 67-yard pass play from
Reesing to get them on board on the
Jayhawks first possession of the second
half.
Then, after the Kansas defense held
serve again, Sharp took a shovel pass from
Reesing for 43 yards to set up a 1-yard
Angus Quigley touchdown run that made
it 20-14.
Sharp broke out for 186 yards of offense
on the day, including 107 through the air
on just three catches.
We went in at halftime and Coach was
real positive, Reesing said. He was say-
ing we just have to come out and take it
one play at a time and turn things around.
When we came out in the second half, we
just started clicking on all cylinders. We
showed what we can do when we are all
on the same page.
Mangino made two gutsy fourth down
calls on the Jayhawks next drive, electing
to go for it on fourth and three before
again going for it on fourth and seven
from the 23 yard line. The latter of the two
A
MES, Iowa Maybe everyone
was wrong.
Mark Mangino was. The Kansas
coach didnt think junior running back
Jake Sharp was ready to be his teams pri-
mary running back this season, nor did
anyone else.
Sharp proved otherwise in a 35-33
victory against Iowa State at Jack Trice
Stadium Saturday. He rushed for 81 yards
the most of any Jayhawk running back
this season. He scored two touchdowns
and recorded 107 receiving yards.
More importantly, Sharp had a career-
high 19 carries. He ran angry. He ran hard.
I like the way he ran the ball today. I
like the way he caught the ball. I liked the
way he blocked, Mangino said. He played
his tail off.
Maybe the search was unnecessary.
Mangino tried to make a junior college
transfer heavy on hype but light on pro-
duction junior Jocques Crawford and
a career bottom-of-the-depth chart dweller
junior Angus Quigley into featured
running backs.
All the while, Sharp waited. Sharp, the
Kansas high school legend who averaged
nearly six yards per carry on 168 carries
during his first two years as a Jayhawk,
almost felt like an afterthought.
He didnt touch the ball until the final
possession in the Jayhawks last game. He
only received one carry in the Jayhawks
disastrous first half Saturday, where the
Cyclones jumped out to a 20-0 lead.
Then, it happened. The forgotten Sharp
broke out and made sure Kansas didnt
leave the Hawkeye State without a victory.
He snuck out of the Kansas backfield
and ran a route down the sideline on the
Jayhawks second offensive play of the
third quarter. Junior quarterback Todd
Reesing saw him and delivered the ball.
Not even an actual cyclone could have
caught Sharp. He used a jolt of speed to
go 67 yards for a touchdown to make the
score 20-7.
The Jayhawk offense found its way back
onto the field less than two minutes later
for more of the same. Reesing dumped
Sharp a shovel pass and he exploded
through a collapsing hole near the line of
scrimmage, broke an arm tackle and went
42 yards downfield setting up Kansas
next touchdown. 20-14.
Sharp, however, showed more than
quickness in the game. He used pure
power to thrust himself into the end zone
from the two yard line to make the score
28-20 with nine minutes remaining.
He flexed both of his arms and yelled
after the touchdown. Sharp was only green
skin and dirty teeth away from becoming
the Incredible Hulk.
And this guy supposedly wasnt capable
of running the ball enough to be Kansas
starting running back? Sharp said he never
thought that way.
I never shy away from carrying the
football as many times as I can get it,
Sharp said. I dont think any running back
would. I dont think my teammates or my
coaches really doubted my toughness.
But they did. Sharp has to truly know
they did. From moments after the spring
football game in April when Crawford
declared he liked his chances to get car-
ries at Kansas to a few weeks ago when
Mangino said Sharp couldnt carry the
load he had internal doubters.
Sharp denied it, but perhaps he should
have listened to Manginos post-game press
conference when he detailed his thoughts.
We never, ever intended him to be a
guy to carry the load here, Mangino said.
Hes a guy thats supposed to get 10 carries
a game, throw him a couple of passes
hes a changeup guy.
Mangino said he has since changed his
mind. How could he not after Sharps per-
formance against Iowa State? He kept the
Jayhawks from getting off to a disastrous
start in conference play.
Maybe Sharp was the right guy all
along.
He wants to prove he can do the job,
Mangino said, and everything he did
today leads me to believe he can.

KU comeback victory not the way to go
Everyone loves comebacks.
Theyre about adventure, about
improvisation, about knowing
nothing more can go wrong so you
might as well try something out of
the ordinary.
This KU football team is built for
comebacks. The Jayhawks have a
fiery coach who can get downright
scary when hes angry. They have
a funslinger at quarterback whos
only lost twice since his senior year
of high school as a starter. They
have a defense that, generally, gets
better as the game
goes on. They have
an offensive coor-
dinator who lives
for calling unorth-
odox plays.
And on
Saturday, we saw
all that. A show
started in the sec-
ond half.
Jake Sharp
finally got playing
time, got open and
busted through a
few holes. Kerry Meier showed why
hes arguably the best wide receiver
in the Big 12. Todd Reesing kept
slinging the fun.
The Jayhawks were able to come
back because Iowa State doesnt
know how to win
and has no tal-
ent. Other teams
do. If Texas Tech
gets an early lead
in three weeks,
its not going to
let up. Oklahoma
will win by 60 if
it gets the first
three scores.
Even Nebraska
wont fall on itself
like the Cyclones
did.
Other than the South Florida
game, Kansas has struggled early
in games. It doesnt matter how
good the Jayhawks are at coming
back, prepared teams dont give up
leads. Their identity must change.
The games might not be adven-
tures. They might not be quite as
fun. But ditching this comeback
persona and finding a way to play
from ahead is the only way the
Jayhawks will have a chance in the
North.
The SPorTinG Life
Few other pieces of fashion get
other peoples attention as much as
a sports shirt.
Everyone wears Abercrombie or
Polo or American Eagle or Gap.
Not so much a soccer jersey or
a shirt of any team thats not the
Jayhawks. Clothes like that are
natural conversation starters.
Example: Friday night. A friend
of mine wore an Argentina nation-
al team jersey to Chipotle. On
the way back to the car, a woman
across the street yelled at him. She
was wearing the same jersey and
was originally from Argentina.
Better example: Saturday night,
two friends were wearing Chicago
Cubs gear at Brothers. At least 10
people approached them at some
point during the night. The con-
versations ranged from brief calls
of pity about the loss to long dis-
cussions about where they were
from in Chicago. In a friendly
mood? Wear something sports-
related. Youll probably get some
kind of a reaction.

BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com
With a 20-0 lead in his back
pocket and the end zone in his
sights, Iowa State quarterback
Austen Arnaud took a snap three
minutes before halftime. The soph-
omore charged up the middle after
faking a hand-off.
Kansas senior linebacker Joe
Mortensen sprinted to the line of
scrimmage and ripped the ball
fromArnauds clutches. Mortensen
then recovered the fumble to
secure the Jayhawks first turnover
and complete one of the only first
half plays in which something went
right for Kansas.
In the first 30 minutes Kansas
had four punts and turned the ball
over three times.
While Kansas was falling all
over itself, Iowa State was busy
gliding up-and-down the field.
Iowa State running back
Alexander Robinson scored the
first touchdown on a 16-yard
scamper and Arnaud hit Marquis
Hamilton on an eight-yard strike
for the second score. The Cyclones
had a lot of fun early in Ames.
I loved it, senior wide receiver
R.J. Sumrall said. I had a smile on
my face the whole entire time.
Still, coach Gene Chizik wasnt
comfortable with a 20-point half-
time cushion. Especially since his
squad had the ball down to Kansas
13-yard line before Arnauds fum-
ble.
I never felt the lead was safe,
Chizik said. Not against them.
Theyre too good on offense.
Added Arnaud, Theres no way
the Orange Bowl Champions are
going to roll over and give it to
us. Weve got to go take it and we
didnt do that.
Sure enough, the Jayhawks
flipped a magical switch in the
locker room and ran roughshod
over the Cyclones in the third
quarter, scoring 21 points with the
ease of a greased axel.
Kansas opened up a 28-20 lead
on a drive set-up by an Arnaud
interception on a dump-off pass.
Jayhawk defensive end Maxwell
Onyegbule stepped in front of
Arnauds screen pass and rumbled
down to the six-yard line.
We run it in practice and it
wasnt a look that weve ever seen
and he just cut up field, Arnaud
said. He made a great play.
Backed into a corner, the youth-
ful Cyclones came out firing.
Arnauds okie-doke froze cor-
nerback Kendrick Harper and
he connected with Sumrall for a
22-yard strike to bring the score to
28-26. However, the two-point con-
version attempt failed and coach
Mark Manginos squad responded
with another touchdown.
Showing great poise, Arnaud
responded in kind, driving 55 yards
and throwing his third touchdown
pass of the game and the second
one to Hamilton.
On the ensuing onside kick,
Grant Mahoney perfectly placed
the ball high in the air 10 yards
downfield, where freshman Sedrick
Johnson snagged it for a last ditch
effort.
Arnaud and the offense took
over at their own 41-yard line with
1:13 to move the ball into field goal
range.
Everybodys anticipating a
score, Arnaud said. They look
in my eyes and they look at every
one around. Were confident were
going to go score.
The drive started ominous-
ly with two dropped passes and
one deflection. On third down he
threw a perfect strike to Sumrall,
who couldnt hang on.
I dropped the slant, and it hurt,
Sumrall said. It could have been a
first down, or real close, and we
wouldnt have to run a deep route.
That deep route was also a pass
to Sumrall, who gained a step and
a half on Harper. But the throw
sailed just beyond his reach and
Sumrall was only able to get a
couple of fingertips on it while div-
ing hopelessly.
The last series there was pretty
abysmal, Chizik said.
The Cyclones upset bid fell short
at 35-33. Two weeks ago they lost
34-31 in overtime at UNLV.
Losses like that can destroy a
team, but Arnaud gave his young
team some post-game perspective
beyond his years.
You wonder what if we did this,
what if we did that, Arnaud said.
The bottom line is we didnt do
those things so theres no ifs ands
or buts about it. We didnt take care
of business today.

Jayhawks come back after a scoreless
frst half against the Iowa State Cyclones
Kansas 35, Iowa 33
resulted in a touchdown pass from
Reesing to Kerry Meier that gave
the Jayhawks their first lead of the
game at 21-20.
I had no thought in my mind
about kicking a field goal there
and I dont think Coach did either,
said Meier, who had seven catches
for 125 yards and two touchdowns.
We were moving the ball all right
and had some confidence.
Kansas appeared ready to add
to their lead on the Jayhawks next
drive, but Reesing fumbled the ball
on the Iowa State 11 yard line. A
few plays later, Kansas added to the
lead anyway on defense.
AsIowa StatequarterbackAusten
Arnaud waited for the offense to set
up a screen play, reserve defensive
end Maxwell Onyegbule snuffed it
out, intercepting Arnauds pass and
returning it to the six yard line. A
touchdown pass from Reesing to
Meier made it 35-26, but an Iowa
State score cut the Jayhawk lead
to two at 35-33 with just over a
minute to go.
In possibly the only negative of
the second half for Kansas, Iowa
State recovered the ensuing onside
kick, giving them a chance to win
the game in the final seconds.
Needing just 30 yards to get into
field goal range, Arnaud threw four
straight incomplete passes to seal
the comeback for Kansas.
To come here for our first Big
12 road game and to get a win and
to do it in the way we had to come
back, its definitely encouraging for
us, Reesing said. Its going to give
us some motivation and some fire
to go out there and practice for the
next game.

IT wAS OVeR wheN...
Iowa State had four straight
incomplete passes and turned the
ball over on downs back to the
Jayhawks with a minute left to
play. Kansas inexcusably had only
five guys on the line for an onside
kick and allowed the Cyclones to
recover the ball with 1:14 to play
and trailing by only two points.
Luckily for Kansas, Iowa State
couldnt complete a pass and get
into field goal position.
GAMe TO ReMeMBeR:
JAKe ShARP
After barely playing in the
Jayhawks last two games, Sharp
took over in the second half and
led the KU comeback. Sharp
scored KUs first touchdown
on a 67-yard catch from Todd
Reesing and then took a shovel
pass on the next drive for 43
yards to set up another score.
Sharp accounted for 186 yards
including 107 through the air on
just three receptions.
GAMe TO FORGeT:
The eNTIRe
IOwA STATe TeAM
After dominating every aspect
of the game for the first half and
jumping out to a 20-0 lead, an
entirely different Iowa State team
came out for the second half. The
offense all of a sudden couldnt
move the ball and the defense
allowed Kansas to score touch-
downs on three straight drives to
open the third quarter. It would
have been a program changing
win for Iowa State, but instead
became a game to forget.
COACheS CORNeR
Kansas coach Mark Mangino
talking about his decision to
swap sides with offensive tackles
Jeremiah Hatch and Jeff Spikes
for Saturdays game.
Hatchie is progressing a little faster
because he is probably a little bit quicker
of foot. He protects the back side a little
bit better right now than Jef Does. But
Jef is doing well. Its not so much a knock
on Jef as it is a positive about Jeremiah.
Its not that Jef is not doing well, its just
that Hatch really is progressing at a fast
pace and his quick feet allow him to get
good sets out there at the back of the
quarterback.

Kansas ended its fall sea-
son 7-1 after going 3-1, beat-
ing Western Illinois twice and
splitting with Iowa, in this past
weekends Hawkeye Classic. On
Saturday, the Jayhawks shut out
the Western Illinois Westerwinds
4-0 and then took their first loss
of the season, losing to the Iowa
Hawkeyes 4-2. Sunday proved
to be the better day of the tour-
nament as Kansas beat Western
Illinois 6-3 and then Iowa 5-2.
Kansas faced its first Divison I
opponents of the 2008-2009 sea-
son during the Hawkeye Classic.
Head coach Tracy Bunge was
pleased with her teams perfor-
mance but hinted on a few things
the Jayhawks will need to work
on before their spring season.
We got a chance to get some
playing time in for everybody on
our roster. Offensively I think
we played very well, we consis-
tently kept the ball in play but
we left a lot of runners on base.
We had many opportunities to
score more runs than we did;
on Saturday we left 12 runners
stranded that were in scoring
position.
Seniors Elle Pottorf and Val
Chapple led the offensive charge
for the Jayhawks with Pottorf
going 7-12
for the week-
end with three
doubles and
four RBIs and
Chapple hit-
ting 5 for 11
including a
2-run home
run off of a
change up in Sundays 5-2 win
over Iowa.
Valerie George pitched both
games against a solid Iowa
line-up that returned 13 play-
ers from a 2008 team that fin-
ished third in the Big Ten con-
ference and appeared in both
the Big Ten championship and
the NCAA Iowa City Regional
Championship. Coach Bunge
commented on the loss:
The loss was a learning
moment, Iowa is a good team
and they just found a way to get
it done. As a team we reflected
on the loss and tried to figure
out what the Hawkeyes did bet-
ter than us and I think it came
down to executing with 2 outs
and executing with runners in
scoring position. We improved
on both aspects in our win dur-
ing the rematch on Sunday.
Kansas isnt scheduled to play
again until February 6th when it
travels to Phoenix to participate
in the Kajikawa Classic hosted
by Arizona State, where they
will face Texas El-Paso, Arizona,
Northwestern, Stanford and
Nevada.

Panthers shut out Chiefs
for frst time in six years
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Herm
Edwards came up to John Fox an
hour before kickof and gave him
a hearty bear hug. The former col-
lege teammates then exchanges
stories and laughs.
But the second matchup of
the ex-San Diego State defensive
backs was no fair fght: Fox has
the Carolina Panthers looking like
an NFC contender, and Edwards
Kansas City Chiefs are still clearly
rebuilding, no matter what hap-
pened last week.
DeAngelo Williams had 123
yards rushing and scored three
touchdowns and the Panthers
held Larry Johnson to 2 yards
rushing in a 34-0 win Sunday.
It was the frst time in six years
that the Chiefs were shut out.
Its been awhile since weve
had a game like this, said Fox,
after Carolinas most lopsided win
in team history.
The Panthers (4-1), who have
missed the playofs the past two
seasons, are of to their best start
since reaching the Super Bowl
in the 2003 season. It was one of
their most dominating perfor-
mances since they crushed the
Edwards-coached New York Jets
30-3 in 2005 on the way to reach-
ing the NFC championship game.
You cant blame Edwards if he
wants no part of another game
against Fox.
I didnt see that coming at all.
We were a confdent team after
last weeks game, Edwards said
of the Chiefs (1-4), who routed
Denver to end a franchise-record
12-game losing streak. Then we
come in here and we acted like
weve never played before.
Williams also had a 10-yard TD
run and caught a 25-yard TD pass
from Delhomme in a dominating
frst half that saw the Chiefs man-
age one frst down and 29 yards.

Under the sweltering Texas
sun, junior Emily Powers and the
rest of the womens golf team will
get back to work. The Jayhawks
venture south to Lubbock, Texas,
for the fourth annual McHaney/
Morehead Invitational. Hosted by
Texas Tech, the tournament will
tee off today and tomorrow at the
par-72, 6,525-yard Rawls Course
with steamy weather expected.
After two consecutive fifth-
place finishes at the Marilynn
Smith and Johnie Imes invitation-
als, the Jayhawks look to triumph
in a diversely talented 13-team field
that features seven Big 12 schools.
However, success is something that
the Jayhawks know requires con-
sistency from
every golfer.
Weve all
played really
well. We just
need to put the
good rounds
t o g e t h e r ,
Powers said.
We all know
that we can shoot. Our goal is not
focusing on beating one team, but
bettering ourselves every round.
Powers has the numbers to
back up that confidence. She has
anchored the Jayhawks with a 74.67
scoring average through three con-
tests this season. Last week at the
Johnie Imes Invitational, Powers
tied for sixth place, shooting a sea-
son low of 221 to lead the home
team to its second-consecutive
fifth-place finish.
[The score] shows me that I
can shoot lower than what I think,
Powers admits.
Other up-and-coming talent to
the Jayhawks attack includes soph-
omores Jennifer Clark and Meghna
Bal. Clark and Bal were two of

TALLADEGA, Ala. Tony
Stewart was the first driver con-
victed of dipping below NASCARs
out-of-bounds line, learning a valu-
able lesson in 2001 at Daytona that
hes carried with him the last seven
years.
So when Regan Smith slid
under the line Sunday at Talladega
Superspeedway to finish first,
Stewart was certain hed be awarded
his first victory of the season.
NASCAR agreed with him,
and Stewart made his first trip
to Talladegas Victory Lane in 20
career starts.
But Smith was adamant hed done
nothing wrong, arguing that the
two-time series champion forced
him below the line in a desperate
blocking attempt.
Youre darn right I did. Ive lost
Daytona 500s, Ive lost races here
at Talladega because somebody
blocked, Stewart said. Thats the
name of the game. Theres always
been people blocking. The nice
thing is I was actually on the right
end of it this time.
Trust me, Ive got no regrets
about what I did. I did exactly what
I needed to do to win the race, and
it worked out.
Smith was in second and trailed
Stewart for the final three laps, and
the rookie made one attempt to
grab his first career victory by duck-
ing inside of Stewart to attempt a
pass.
Stewart wouldnt relent, moving
with Smith down the track until
Smith dove below the yellow line
to make the pass. He moved back
onto the racing surface in front of
Stewart and cruised to the finish
line.
NASCAR reviewed the move a
driver is allowed to make the pass if
officials believe he was forced under
the line and declared it illegal.
Smith went with Dale Earnhardt
Inc. president Max Siegel to argue
the decision, but was rebuffed and
dropped to 18th in the final finish-
ing order.
We just watched the tape. They
can argue about it for five years,
theyre not going to change the
decision. Thats not how NASCAR
works, Smith said. I totally dis-
agree with them 110 percent. I
clearly moved to the outside, moved
back to the inside. Tony made a
move to the high side and made a
move to the bottom side.
My nose was in there. The only
other option I had was to wreck
him.
The ruling helped Stewart snap
Swinging into high gear
Womens Golf
a 43-race winless streak dating to
Watkins Glen last year and allowed
him to cross Talladega off his list
of tracks where hed failed to earn a
win. Talladega has taunted him for
10 years, as Stewart finished second
a maddening six times.
It looked as if hed again come
up short in his final race here with
Joe Gibbs Racing, especially after
he was caught in a Friday accident
when Dale Earnhardt Jr. blew a
tire.
Crew chief Greg Zipadelli decid-
ed to fix the damaged car instead of
moving to the backup, and the No.
20 crew worked late Friday night
making the repairs.
Then a poor qualifying effort on
Saturday Stewart started 34th
made some wonder if the team had
made the right decision in sticking
with the damaged car.
Stewart proved everyone wrong
on Sunday with flawless strategy
that helped him avoid a late 12-car
accident and execute a perfect
restart when Smith and two of his
Dale Earnhardt Inc. teammates
were lurking behind him on the
final sprint to the finish.
I knew with three DEI cars
behind me, it was going to be tough
to hold on, Stewart said.
Stewart got the jump, but smart-
ly made sure he didnt pull too far
out and give the DEI contingent
the opportunity to gang up and
blow past him. Then he blocked
Smith the rest of the way, only let-
ting up when Smith went below the
yellow line.
There was concern in his voice
as he questioned whether Smith
would be awarded the win, but
he quickly started the celebration
when his spotter gave the 20 is the
winner declaration.

Broncos win against Tampa Bay
ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER Marcus Thomas
flashed back to his high school
days as a fullback after intercept-
ing a fourth quarter pass against
Tampa Bay.
The 305-pound Denver
Broncos defensive lineman had
visions of breaking a few tackles
and rumbling his way to the end
zone.
But his good play quickly
turned into a gaffe when he was
stripped of the football, turning it
right back over to the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers in the Broncos 16-13
victory Sunday.
Thomas blamed the rain, say-
ing the ball slipped out of his
hands.
Teammate Michael Pittman
had a different take on it, even
vowing to give Thomas instruc-
tions on how to safely secure the
ball when running through traf-
fic.
He had it like a loaf of bread,
Pittman said. He was carrying it
sideways.
Thomas was being teased by
his teammates for his miscue.

Another weekend of Big 12
play brought another weekend of
up-and-down results for Kansas.
Mark Francis team defeated
Texas Tech 2-0 by virtue of two
second-half goals Friday afternoon
at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex
before falling to No. 15 Colorado
2-0 Sunday afternoon in the same
fashion.
The results mean Kansas (8-4,
2-2) has split its weekend series for
the fourth consecutive weekend
after starting the season 4-0.
DOLINSKY, CRESSY
POWER KANSAS PAST
TEXAS TECH
For nearly 70 minutes Friday,
junior goalkeeper Julie Hanley had
the best view in the house.
Apart from pregame warm-
ups, Hanley hadnt faced a single
shot while the Jayhawks racked
up 11 shots, a missed penalty, the
majority of possession and just
about everything else except a
goal.
It was a good bored, Hanley
said.
Finally, Texas Tech tested her in
the 67th minute. Five minutes later,
Kansas got what it was pushing for
when junior midfielder Monica
Dolinsky redeemed herself for an
early penalty kick miss.
Sophomore defender Lauren
Jacksons slid a pass to Dolinksys
feet after a brilliant weaving run.
Dolinsky, tied for the team lead
with six goals, took a quick touch
and fit a low drive inside the far
post, making up for her slip up
at the penalty spot in the 19th
minute.
Francis, for his part, said he
couldnt remember the last time
Dolinsky missed a penalty kick.
As a youth player, I saw her
take PKs, and I dont know if she
ever missed one, to be honest,
Francis said. I think for her, just
scoring the winning goal and
making up for that was good for
her confidence.
Freshman forward Emily Cressy
put the finishing touches on the
victory in the 85th minute when
she bundled in junior forward
Shannon McCabes pass in the six-
yard box.
STRONG SECOND HALF
PROPELS COLORADO
PAST KANSAS
Kansas doubled Colorados shot
total, but two second-half goals
from Nikki Keller and Gianna
DeSaverio doomed the home team
to another 1-1 weekend.
The Jayhawks dominated
play in the first half, outshooting
the Buffaloes 12-4, but senior
goalkeeper Kirstin Radlinski
refused to be beaten.
Radlinksi used a collection of
acrobatic saves to keep Kansas off
the board for the first time in 2008.
The performance left its mark on
coach Mark Francis.
I dont know if she is always
that good but if she is, I cant
imagine there is a better goalkeeper
in the conference, Francis said. A
couple of those saves she made in
the first half were unreal.
The most impressive came
in the 19th minute when junior
midfielder Monica Dolinsky
ripped a dipping half volley from
20 yards. Though the ball looked
destined to find the far corner,
Radlinksi stretched out at the last
second to tip the ball over.
Dolinsky led Kansas with five
shots with one hitting the joint
between crossbar and post.
I had one that was almost
in and another that hit the bar,
Dolinksy said. It was just an
unlucky day.
The teams went to halftime
scoreless, but Colorado pulled
ahead in the 55th minute when
Keller pushed the ball past a
charging Julie Hanley.
The junior goalkeeper was
beaten again when the Buffaloes
capitalized on their newfound
momentum 10 minutes later.
DeSaverio swooped up a loose ball
in the Kansas penalty area and put
the game out of reach.
I think we lost our rhythm
once they scored and we couldnt
really get back into it, junior
forward Shannon McCabe said.

CROSS COuNTRY
BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com
The Kansas cross country team
went to Stillwater, Okla., this week-
end with more focus and more con-
fidence to compete in the 72nd OSU
Jamboree. That extra confidence
paid off, as both the mens team and
the womens team got top 10 places
at the meet.
The first event was the wom-
ens 6K race. Junior Lauren Bonds
ninth place finish with a time of
21:32 helped the Jayhawks secure
a fourth place finish overall for the
womens team. Out of the seven girls
that competed for the Jayhawks, five
placed in the top 50, giving the team
a point total of 160 including num-
bers from freshmen Rebeka Stowe
and Lauren Nightengale and junior
Alison Knoll.
The University of Northern
Arizona was the Jamborees overall
womens team winner.
The women faced tough competi-
tion all through-
out, but the real
challenge for the
womens team
was running the
6K race. The
team went into
Stillwater under
the impression
that they would
be running a 5K
but were told the day before the race
of the change during warmups.
I was a little nervous because Ive
never run a 6K before, Stowe said.
But it wasnt too bad.
Stowe came in 47th overall and
5th for the Jayhawks with a time of
22:42. Stowe said the team was able
to work as a pack, but said her squad
still needs work.
We just need to move the back
three closer to Amanda and Lauren,
Stowe said.
Sophomore Amanda Miller came
in second for the Jayhawks and 24th
overall with a time of 22:05. Its the
third consecutive meet that Bonds
and Miller have finished first and
second for the Jayhawks.
It shows that we know how to
run together, Bonds said.
The next event was the mens 8K.
Oklahoma State took first place for
the second consecutive year and the
Jayhawks took seventh place over-
all with the help
of junior Bret
Imgrund and
freshman Donny
Wasinger,
The men faced
some of their
toughest compe-
tition from home
squad Oklahoma
State, one of the top-ranked teams
in the country.
We knew theyve got a good
team and the best shot to beat
Colorado at the Big 12 conference,
Imgrund said. But that didnt con-
cern us. We just had to go out there
and keep improving ourselves.
Both Imgrund and Wasinger fin-
ished first and second, respectively,
on the mens side with a dual time of
25:48, with Imgrund barely edging
out Wasinger at the finish line.
The last 2K or so Donny came
up next to me and we worked
together the last 200 meters kicking
hard and passing six other people,
Imgrund said. I knicked him at the
end, but we were working together
and pushing each other.
Freshman Clay Schneider came in
75th overall and ran a personal best
this season of 26:46 at Stillwater.
Im pleased with that, but there
are things to work on for bigger
things in the future, he said.
The redshirt freshman said he
tried to stay focused during the race.
You have to look at every race
the same, Schneider said. Theres
no difference between a small school
and a national meet. If you look at
any meet any different, then youll
stress yourself out.
Wasinger had a similar opinion
about not being stressed by the com-
petition.
Im not worried about it. I went
in there without any expectations
except to try and have a good race,
Its my freshman year, Im getting a
feel for running 8Ks and before Ive
never been to a race with so many
kids.
The next event on the Jayhawks
schedule is the Indiana State Pre-
Nationals on October 18 in Terre-
Haute, Ind.

CHICAGO Thanks to John
Danks and the White Sox, Chicago
still has one team standing.
Danks pitched another big game
to save the season and well-traveled
DeWayne Wise delivered a two-
run double as the White Sox beat
Tampa Bay 5-3 Sunday, trimming
the Rays lead in their AL playoff
series to 2-1.
Game 4 in the best-of-five
matchup is Monday in Chicago,
with Gavin Floyd facing Tampa
Bays Andy Sonnanstine.
Less than 24 hours after the
Cubs were swept out of the playoffs
by the Dodgers, dashing Chicagos
hopes for a crosstown World Series,
the White Sox avoided elimination
before a black-shirted, white towel-
waving crowd of 40,142 in their
home park.
At least we play tomorrow,
White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen
said. Like I say, we played against
the wall before and came out of it.
As for that other team in
Chicago?
I could care less about the
Cubs, he said.
Danks, who beat Minnesota 1-0
last Tuesday in the tiebreaker for
the AL Central title, shut down the
Rays for 6 2-3 innings.
I was more nervous going
into the Minnesota game than
this game, he said. Guys try to
approach it like a game in June. I
think that helps take pressure off
us.
The 23-year-old lefty gave up
five hits and a run before B.J. Upton
hit a long, two-run homer with
two outs in the seventh that made
it 5-3.
After a single by Carlos Pena,
Octavio Dotel threw a third strike
past Evan Longoria.
Bobby Jenks pitched the ninth,
striking out Pena with a nasty cur-
MLB
White Sox beat Tampa Bay Rays
veball with a runner on for his fifth
postseason save. He had four in
2005, including two in the World
Series victory over Houston.
The Rays are only the second
team in major league history
first in the AL to make the
postseason after having the worst
record in the majors the previous
season. Tampa Bay went from 96
losses to 97 victories and was trying
to become the fifth team to sweep
its first postseason series.
After the Rays won 6-4 and
6-2 at home, the White Sox were
revived at U.S. Cellular Field, where
they were 54-28 this season.
Its a bad assumption to think
you are going to come in and beat
up on them, Rays manager Joe
Maddon said. They are very good
here.
Matt Garza, pitching on eight
days rest, was popping his fastball
in the mid-90s (mph) and trying
to keep the homer-reliant White
Sox off balance by changing speeds.
The White Sox caught up with the
24-year-old righty in the fourth.
Jim Thome opened with dou-
ble off the center-field fence, Paul
Konerko walked and Ken Griffey
Jr. hit a sharp single that loaded
the bases.
Alexei Ramirez, who hit a record
four grand slams as a rookie this
season, hit a sacrifice fly to cen-
ter for a 2-1 lead, and veterans
Konerko and Griffey alertly moved
up a base. Wise followed with a
two-run, opposite-field double to
left.
Chicago tied it in the third when
Wise worked a leadoff walk, stole
second and A.J. Pierzynski deliv-
ered a two-out RBI single to center.
