Former Chancellor Robert
Hemenway has signed a new con-
tract and will begin teaching at the
University in the Fall 2010 semester.
Until then, he is still being paid the
same salary he made as chancel-
lor $340,352 per year as he
takes a sabbatical to work on writ-
ing projects.
Despite his continued six-figure
salary, only about a third of it will be
paid with public dollars. According
to a memo from the Kansas Board of
Regents detailing Hemenways new
agreement, public funds will pay
him $120,000 per year. Under his
new contract, the Kansas University
Endowment Association is paying
the other $220,352 of his yearly sal-
ary with private donor funds.
Lynn Bretz, director of University
Communications, said Hemenways
contract was appropriate given his
history with the University.
A $120,000 salary for a full pro-
fessor with a national reputation
who has written a groundbreak-
ing book is highly appropriate,
Bretz said. And for Chancellor
Hemenway, who worked for 14
years, 24-7, never taking a sabbati-
cal, its absolutely appropriate.
Mason Heilman, student body
president, said he also thought the
salary was justified. Heilman said
he had heard no complaints about
Hemenways agreement.
Based on the work that
Chancellor Hemenway did in his
14 years, I dont think that this is an
unreasonable compensation pack-
age at all, Heilman said.
Heilman said he thought
Hemenway could be valuable to
the University as an ambassador
to the Regents and other legislative
bodies.
The Regents memo states that
Hemenway is currently on a one-
year sabbatical until July of next
year to focus on writing proj-
ects. Hemenway will then teach
one course per semester during the
2010-2011 academic year. After
that, Hemenway must sign a new
contract if he wishes to remain with
the University.
Other benefits Hemenway will
receive under this contract for con-
tinuing services include four tickets
to all coming University athletic
events, a graduate research assis-
tant to support book projects, office
space, secretarial and computer sup-
port, and any moving costs incurred
during the position change.
The memo also details agree-
ments the Regents made with
former Pittsburg State University
President Tom Bryant and former
Kansas State University President
Jon Wefald. Bryant and Wefald
also stepped down recently and
will receive benefit packages simi-
lar to Hemenways for the coming

More surprising even than
a chilly, 57-degree night in the
middle of a Kansas August was
the sight of a Ferris wheel tower-
ing next to the Ambler Student
Recreation Fitness Center Saturday
night.
Extending across half of the
parking lot, the Student Union
Activities Carnival offered more
than 2,500 students four hours of
fun at a bargain price. Students
received five free tickets and could
purchase another 10 tickets for
$5.
Though lines for the attractions
could last up to 30 minutes, and
some students said they wished
for more free tickets, most praised
the event.
The carnival was the place
to be, said Bradley Strathman,
Topeka freshman.
An hour after his arrival at the
carnival, Strathman sported a
green and white Dr. Seuss hat, won
from one of the games offered. He
carried a Daffy Duck balloon ani-
mal in his hand and a pink teddy
bear in his back pocket, another
trophy from his carnival gaming
skills.
Samphors Sar, Cambodia grad-
uate student, said she had never
been to a carnival before Saturday
night.
Its hard to say because I dont
have a comparison, she said. But
from what I can see, its really
good. Its just like Worlds of Fun.
As she walked through the car-
nival, Sars eyes roamed from the
Ferris wheel in one corner to the
horse-racing game in the other.
Pulled in every direction by bright
lights, fast rides and big prizes, Sar
finally decided to spend her five
free tickets on the Musical Chairs
swing ride and the balloon dart
game a game she knew from
home.
While still dizzy and a bit nau-
seous from the swings, Sar headed
to the balloon dart game. Armed
with two tickets and practiced
skills, Sar took aim. Though she
popped two balloons, she earned
only one point, thus limiting her
prize options to a temporary tat-
too set. Despite her disappoint-
ment she had her eyes on a big
purple dinosaur she said the
game was her favorite because it
reminded her of home.
The games also drew Ben Davis,
Osawatomie freshman. Davis,
however, said he had eyes for only
one thing when he walked through
the myriad attractions: the big,
plush Batman at Duck Pond.
Pooling the tickets of dedicated
friends, Davis made his way to
Duck Pond. A table with floating
ducks and the woman facilitat-
ing the game were now the only
things standing between him and
his prize, worth 100 points.
Im not very lucky, he said. If
I wasnt given all these free tickets,

Beating swine fu:
students speak out
By daniel Johnson
djohnson@kansan.com
Stephanie Atwood, Topeka junior,
said she was doing volunteer work at
Centennial Park last Saturday morning
when she felt a cough coming on. After
volunteering, Atwood returned to her
sorority and tried to go for a run. She felt
sick and couldnt get very far. By 3 p.m.,
she got in bed and stayed there for the
rest of the day.
Adam Greenhaw, Independence, Kan.,
sophomore, woke up last Monday morn-
ing with a cough. By Monday night, he
was in bed with chills and a fever. Within
24 hours, one of his two roommates
became sick, too. His third roommate
had complained of similar symptoms two
days before.
Bryant Hadley, Wichita sophomore,
woke up Tuesday and had a small cough.
After his 10 a.m. lecture, his nose was
running. During his 3 p.m. engineering
class, he broke into a sweat. When he got
back to his McCollum room at 4 p.m., he
collapsed on his bed. He closed his door
and slept uneasily through the afternoon
and into the night.
Atwood, Hadley and Greenhaw all had
the H1N1 flu, commonly known as swine
flu.
Over the weekend, administrators at
the University reported a high of 313
suspected H1N1 flu among students.
During the first full week of school, sick
students isolated themselves from classes
and friends to get healthy and control the
outbreak.
On Sunday, Atwood said, she went
to Watkins Health Center because she
suspected she had the virus. She said the
center had a designated a waiting room
for students with flu-like symptoms. She
said everyone wore protective masks.
It was kind of weird sitting in a room

Last Tuesday, Kansas Gov. Mark
Parkinson suggested changing
admission standards for Kansas
universities, beginning what he
called a necessary conversation
about higher
education. At
the Board of
Regents meet-
ing, he dis-
cussed chang-
ing standards
as part of a
10-year plan
to improve
the national rankings of Kansas
three national unitiversities:
the University of Kansas, Kansas
State University and Wichita State
University.
These are things that needed to
be talked about that werent being
talked about, Parkinson said.
Currently, US News and World
Report ranks the University as
96th out of 260 universities.
Kansas State was ranked in a tier
between 134th through 196th, and
Wichita State in a tier between
197th and 260th.
Parkinson said the success of
state universities was vital.
Its very important to me,
Parkinson said. The state cannot
succeed if the Regents institutions
dont succeed.

set standards
Last year, University of Kansas
administrators called some of the
current admission requirements
outdated when commenting to
a task force formed by the Regents
on admission policies.
The current policy puts Kansas
at a competitive and operational
disadvantage, administrators said
in the report. We are required to
admit students to KU whom we
know will likely fail.

Florida police using

MIAMI Police in Florida are

money. The suspects were
asked to call a hot line and set
up an appointment to pick up
a check from an auditorium

When the fugitives arrived,
they were identifed and about
75 were arrested on ofenses
ranging from grand theft to
fraud to attempted murder.
Police spokesman Sgt. Frank
Sousa says the two-day sting
was dubbed Operation Show

school year.
Bryant will be paid $202,593
this year and will also receive office
space, any moving costs and two
tickets to Pittsburg State athletic
events. Wefald will be paid $255,
298 this year and will also receive
a graduate research assistant, office
space, any moving costs and eight
tickets to Kansas State athletic
events. Wefald is also on sabbatical
until next July.
Although both Bryant and
Wefalds total salaries are lower than
Hemenways, they are being paid
entirely by public funds. This means
with the help of the Endowment
Association, fewer state dollars will
go toward paying Hemenway this
academic year than either of the
other state university CEOs who
recently stepped down.
Kip Peterson, director of com-
munications for the Regents, said
the group was satisfied with the
contracts of all three exiting CEOs,
especially considering their com-
bined 47 years of service in these
critical positions. Peterson said the
national average a CEO of a state
university, whether chancellor or
president, would make is about
$500,000 a year.
All of these packages are well
below the national norm, Peterson
said.
Dale Seuferling, president of the
Endowment Association, said the
private dollars to pay Hemenway
would come from donations desig-
nated for faculty support and reten-
tion, as well as some from unre-
stricted funds for meeting special
needs.
According to the Endowment
Associations most recent annual
report, private funds distributed by
the group accounted for $16 mil-
lion in salaries for professors at the
University during the 2007-2008
academic year. These funds make
up about 14 percent of all financial
support the group provides to the
University.
As the governing board of the
University of Kansas, the Regents
is well aware of the budget cuts at
KU, Seuferling said. They made a
request to KU Endowment, and we
responded to it.
Edited by Abbey Strusz
like that, Atwood said. But I
didnt really think about it. I just
felt so horrible.
Hadley said he went to Watkins
on Thursday after his dad insisted
he go in.
He said Watkins did not confirm
whether it was actually the H1N1
virus, but staff seemed certain it
was. Hadley said that because he
didnt have health conditions that
would make the flu worse, the
medical staff advised him to wait
until he went 24 hours without a
fever or the aid of fever-reducing
medication before returning to
class.
The doctor basically said I was
fine, Hadley said. He told me to
continue doing what I was doing
isolating myself, resting, having
food brought to me, etc.
On Friday, the Kansas City Star
said state health officials estimated
a 97 percent chance that those
with flu-symptoms right now have
the H1N1 virus. In a press release
on Wednesday, the University
advised otherwise healthy stu-
dents experiencing flu-like symp-
toms to stay home and call for
assistance instead of visiting the
student health center.
Greenhaw said he visited
Watkins on Tuesday and spent
the following three days in his
apartment at Parkway Commons,
3601 Clinton Pkwy., playing video
games while recovering with his
two sick roommates. He said the
worst symptoms lasted for about
three days, waning and peak-
ing throughout. He said the sore
throat was the worst part.
The soreness just wouldnt go
away, Greenhaw said. It con-
stantly hurt.
Hadley said the worst symptoms
were the chills, which lasted two
days for him. He said he recovered
quickly because he took care of
himself. He said sleeping, drinking
fluids and taking Vitamin C sped
up his recovery.
I drank 6 liters of water, took
like 10,000 mg of Vitamin C and
ate about a million blueberries,
Hadley said. But I could see it
going completely different if I
hadnt done this.
Unlike Greenhaw and Hadley,
Atwood took the doctors advice
and went home for the week. She
said after visiting Watkins on
Monday, her mom picked her up
and took her home to Topeka. She
said the worst of her symptoms
lasted for about two days before
she started to feel better.
Each student agreed miss-
ing classes in the first week of
school was difficult. Hadley said
that it was frustrating to learn
only from his textbooks, but that
his teachers were understanding
and accommodating. He said he
corresponded with them through
e-mails throughout the week.
Greenhaw said he felt relieved to
have had the swine flu already. He
said that the first week of school
was important, but that the timing
could have been worse.
Id rather miss the first week
of school than the last, Greenhaw
said.
Atwood said she also felt relieved
to have already been through the
swine flu, but was upset to have
ever gotten it.
Im just really mad that I got it,
Atwood said. I use Purell, Lysol,
and wash my hands all the time.
Its frustrating.
Greenhaw said that he and his
roommates planned to heavily
clean their apartment since recov-
ering. He said that his friends
from the floor below him had
gotten swine flu too and that the
two rooms had probably passed
the virus between them.
Its like a cesspool in here,
Greenhaw said. Weve got to wipe
down everything.
Atwood, Hadley and Greenhaw
each said they planned to return to
classes today now that they were
no longer contagious.
I dont know what Id do.
After his first two tickets yielded
three ducks worth a total of six
points, Davis decided to set his
sights a little lower: the mini plush
Batman worth 32 points. Eight
tickets later, Davis had his Batman
in hand and knew exactly where
the toy would sit on his desk. For
Davis, the night was a success.
Molly Iler, Summit, N.J., junior
and games coordinator with SUA,
said the night overall was a huge
success.
I was so happy everyone had
such a great time, she said.

education.
When you have a system that
has a very low bar, thats not being
very honest to students, Bretz
said.
A law was changed in March
to give the Regents the control
to change university admission
standards.
The governor reminded the
Regents on Tuesday they had this
power.
Im pleased that you now have
additional flexibility with respect
to admissions and I encourage
you to use it, Parkinson said in
his speech.
Second taSk force
to form
The Regents said they would
form another task force to look at
admissions standards.
Parkinson told the Regents that
not every university needed to
have the same admissions stan-
dards.
He posed the hypothetical situ-
ation that Wichita State could be
the states open admission school
while another school could decide
to enact tougher standards.
Parkinson said the state should
take advantage of the full system
of secondary education, includ-
ing community colleges, to better
serve taxpayers.
We do have to have some
schools available essentially for all
Kansas graduates, Parkinson said.
They shouldnt be able to send
every graduate to every school.
Its unfair to the student if we
end up putting them in a school
that doesnt meet their individual
needs.
Kip Peterson, director of gov-
ernment relations and communi-
cations for the Regents, said Gary
Sherrer, vice chair of the Regents,
would serve as chairman for the
second task force. Sherrer was also
chairman of the first task force.
Peterson said the task force, which
has not yet been formed, would
go to different parts of the state
to hear different proposals for
changes in admissions policies.
They want to do this with the
whole state in mind, Peterson
said. Theyre going to look at
everything.
Bretz said the University
planned on taking enrollment
proposals to the Regents this fall,
but she said they had not been
completed yet.
Mason Heilman, Lawrence
senior and student body president,
said he would like to see student
representation on an assessment
of admissions standards.
No one really has a better feel
for what admission standards are
than people who just got done
going through that process,
Heilman said.
Any changes made by the
Regents would not go into effect
for another four years to allow
the schools and the students some
time to adjust.
In the meantime, Bretz applaud-
ed Parkinson.
Its terrific when you have a
governor who is concerned about
student performance how a state
can raise its academic perfor-
mance, Bretz said. Were glad
hes focusing on academic issues.

uate from accredited Kansas

AssociAted Press
NEW YORK NBCs Today
show has hired someone with
White House experience as a new
correspondent former first
daughter Jenna Bush Hager.
Hager, a 27-year-old teacher in
Baltimore, will contribute stories
about once a month on issues like
education to televisions top-rated
morning news show, said Jim Bell,
its executive producer.
The daughter of former President
George W. Bush said she had always
wanted to be a teacher and a writ-
er and had already authored two
books. But she was intrigued by the
idea of getting into television when
Bell contacted her.
It wasnt something Id always
dreamed to do, she said. But I
think one of the most important
things in life is to be open-mind-
ed and to be open-minded for
change.
Shell essentially work two part-
time jobs as a correspondent and
in her school,
where she will
be a reading
coordinator this
year.
Bell said he
got the idea
after seeing
Hager in two
Today appear-
ances. She was
on the program two years ago to
promote her book about an HIV-
infected single mother, Anas
Story: A Journey of Hope, and it
went so well that a short interview
was stretched to nearly a half hour.
She and her mother, Laura Bush,
also co-hosted an hour of Today
around the time their picture book
came out.
She just sort of popped to us as
a natural presence, comfortable on
the air, Bell said. Hager will work
out of NBCs Washington bureau.
I think she can handle it, he
said. I think she knows something
about pressure and being under
some scrutiny. When she came
here for a handful of appearances,
she knocked it out of the park.
He expects her first story, most
likely concerning education, to be
on sometime next month.
A first television job on Today
is, in her fathers world, sort of like
a run for president as a first attempt
at elective office.
Hager said that people on the
show have always made me,
whenever Ive been there, feel very
comfortable.
Bell said Hager wont be cov-
ering politics. He said he didnt
consider the job as a down pay-
ment for a future interview with
her father, who has been living
quietly in Texas since leaving office
earlier this year.

A
fter two alcohol-related
deaths at the University
last year, the adminis-
tration began a comprehensive
response to this serious problem
and, for that, it should be com-
mended. However, a proposed pol-
icy intended to prevent on-campus
drinking seriously threatens the
privacy rights of all students living
on campus. Students should vehe-
mently oppose this new policy.
ProPosed changes
Although a specified policy has
not been formulated yet, students
and administrators are discuss-
ing the possibility of allowing KU
Department of Student Housing
officials to enter any dorm room
they have probable cause to believe
is in violation of housing policy.
This would include all infractions,
but it appears that the main rea-
son for this proposed
change is to allow
housing officials to
freely enter dorm
rooms in which they
suspect students are
drinking alcohol.
Under the current search pol-
icy, housing officials must either
obtain the students permission
to enter his or her room or give
the student 24-hour notice before
entering. Housing officials can
enter a room if they think immi-
nent danger threatens a residents
safety or they can request the KU
Public Safety Office (KUPSO) to
obtain a search warrant that is
reviewed by the district attorney
and an on-call judge. This is the
same process that must be used
if police want to search an off-
campus residence.
student rights
Article 19 of the Student Code
of Rights and Responsibilities,
which governs the rights of all
students, states that students do
not give up any rights by becom-
ing members of the University
community and privacy rights
extend to on-campus housing.
This declaration should not lose
value or truth after the alcohol-
related tragedies of last year. The
majority of students who choose
to live on campus are legally adults
and should be treated as such. This
includes recognizing their rights to
privacy are as inviolable as those of
any student who lives off-campus.
Any policy that would allow
officials to search on-campus
housing without a warrant could
be open to legal challenges. Bill
Larzalere, an attorney at Legal
Services for Students, has conduct-
ed preliminary research on this
issue. Larzalere said that without
seeing the specifics of the policy,
there was no way to know for sure
if it would violate students legal
rights. However, he also states that
a dorm room, because it is the
principals residence for a student,
is entitled to extremely high pri-
vacy protections that would usu-
ally necessitate either a warrant or
exigent circumstances before any
search could be conducted.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost of
student success, is a proponent of
changing the current search policy,
but said such a change would
definitely conflict with the current
Student Code. She said loosening
restrictions on searches conducted
on campus was a matter that
greatly affected a students envi-
ronment and a new search policy
was necessary to ensure a safe and
healthy atmosphere at
the University.
Dozens and dozens
of other universities
have a similar policy
in place already and,
frankly, many of my colleagues are
surprised that we dont, Roney
said.
Larzalere said his initial
research indicated that most
schools, including schools in the
Big 12, had search policies similar
to the Universitys and required
either permission, adequate notice,
or a search warrant before a resi-
dents room could be searched.
take action
Because the Student Code will
need to be amended before any
changes to the search policy are
enacted, students will be given
the opportunity to voice their
opinion about any new policy.
Felix Zacharias, Wichita senior
and non-traditional student sena-
tor, said although he does not like
the proposed policy on its face, he
was willing to keep an open mind
about it until the new policy was
formally presented.
One thing about it, though, is
that this is a huge invasion of stu-
dent rights and it would not have
prevented any of the deaths we had
on campus last year, Zacharias
said.
Students must let their student
senators know that they do not
want their rights eroded, especially
when there is little to suggest that
such a move would significantly
help to prevent future tragedies
on campus. The Student Rights
Committee, which must initially
approve any changes to the Student
Code, will have its first meeting
of the year at 7:00 p.m. on Sept. 2
in the Parlor Room of the Kansas
Union. It is expected changes to
the current search policy will be
discussed. All students, whether
they live on or off campus, should
attend this meeting to tell their
senators that they value their
privacy. They should remind the
administration there is no reason
students who choose to live on
campus should be forced to accept
fewer legal rights than their off-
campus friends.

P
resident Obama and con-
gressional liberals tried to
pass their health care bill
before the August recess, but a
strong response from conserva-
tives across the country have
them on their heels. Its now
September and the only thing
this health care bill has achieved
is taking the bloom off Obamas
rose.
It is when the debate turns
to the idea of a government run
public option that the dis-
course really heats up. Under
this public option, every
American would be required by
law to have health insurance.
The government would set up
an insurance program to cover
anybody who wanted to receive
their insurance through it.
This, in writing, coupled with
the fact that liberals are prom-
ising that you can keep your
health care plan if you like it,
may sound innocent. In practice,
though, it will inexorably lead
to government crushing the
private sector health care indus-
try, which is one-sixth of the
American economy. Youll be left
with no choice but to buy insur-
ance from the government.
Here is a metaphor to help
explain how this will happen.
Imagine you are sitting in
Allen Fieldhouse. You and
16,000 of your closest friends
are ready for tip-off against
Missouri. The players take the
court but no referees are pres-
ent. Luckily, Missouri brought a
couple of big donors to town for
the game and they agree to be
the officials. The resulting game
is unlikely to be fair and the
Jayhawks will have a tough time
competing.
The importance of a third
party monitoring a sporting
event is obvious and it is no dif-
ferent for market economies. In
this plan the private industry
will be forced to play by the
governments rules while com-
peting against the governments
plan. This is not the fair and
level playing field the govern-
ment is supposed to ensure in a
free-market system. The private
industry will not be able to com-
pete.
The government program
does not have to turn a profit
like the private sector does. Id
hate to play a game of Monopoly
against someone who didnt have
to worry about losing money.
The complete ownership and
control the federal government
would have on such a large seg-
ment of the economy is nothing
short of socialism.
Norman Thomas, a six-time
presidential candidate for the
Socialist Party of America, once
said that the American people
would never knowingly vote for
socialism. But, he said, under the
name of liberalism, they would
adopt every fragment of the
socialist program until, one day,
America would be a socialist
nation without knowing how it
happened.
America, you have been
warned. This bill has awakened
the giant that is our center-right
nation and the fight between
free-market capitalism and
socialism is on.
The government needs to
limit its role to passing and
enforcing laws that will encour-
age choice and competition by
ensuring a level playing field for
doctors, insurers and consumers.
Thats the right idea.

Te art of fashion: what the
90s meant for clothes today
PoLitics
S
ome say the 90s killed
fashion, and understandably
so. To think that the
must-have item of the decade
replacing the spandex and fringe
of the 80s was the Gap T-shirt
is almost beyond comprehension.
When looking at the transition of
styles at each turn of the century,
the change in fashion doesnt
get any more drastic than this.
However, instead of seeing the
90s as the apocalypse of creative
design, I see it as more of a
rebirth
People began to choose
clothes based on style rather
than function in the early 1900s,
and 90 years later designers
had dreamed up every wearable
silhouette possible. Avant-garde
fashion will forever invent
silhouettes, but Im talking about
things you can actually walk
around in.
By 1990 it was back to basics:
jeans, T-shirts and solids,
everyone the same. But instead
of fashion ending, it turned into
a blank canvas again. This was
a chance for the world to take
a break from the whirl wind
of fashions evolution from
hoop skirts to shoulder pads
and come up with something
amazing.
Now, designers can adapt the
silhouettes and styles from the
last hundred years into something
thats wearable today, enabling us
to pick the ones we ourselves like.
A basic collection of clothes was
developed in the 1990s, giving
us the opportunity to create the
most inspired pieces possible.
This is why vintage is so
popular. The world of fashion is
no longer trend driven. Fashion
has become an art.
The fashion advertising world
is starting to pick up on this
as well. Instead of turning to
renowned fashion photographers,
clothing companies are starting
to use fashion illustrators to
draw or paint their ads. Why? A
picture shows what the garment
is, how it looks on the body and
often incorporates an interesting
set and a gorgeous model, but an
illustration shows what a garment
could become.
A fashion illustration expresses
the creative process that went into
designing the clothes we wear. It
also allows wearers to consider
the garment as a piece of art, not
just a T-shirt in a Gap catalogue.
Todays fashion is all about being
inspired and we needed the blank
canvas that was the 90s to lead
us here.
Remnants still remain of the
trend-driven fashion industry of
the 90s. Its easy to just put on a
v-neck T-shirt and Nike running
shorts. Its comfortable, and you
know youll look cool because
everyone else wears the same. Ill
admit, this is definitely my safe
outfit, but to wear this look every
day is ridiculous. Art-inspired
fashion gives us the opportunity
to dress as creatively and
beautifully as we choose. To be a
slave to one look is a waste.
So when you get dressed this
year, think art. Dont look at
fashion as what everyone else is
wearing, but how your look can
inspire others. Designers have the
ability to draw inspiration from
the unthinkable, and now we can
do the same.

Few may remember former Gov.
Kathleen Sebelius off-hand com-
ment two years ago while visiting
wineries in Washington State.
You should be thankful we dont
make wine in Kansas, she said.
If you ever see Kansas wine, dont
drink it.
But Kansas winemakers remem-
ber. Her comments, and subsequent
meetings with Kansas winemak-
ers, resulted in a series of reforms,
including an amendment to city code
allowing the sale of alcoholic drinks
at Lawrence Farmers Market.
Don Bryant, co-owner of Jefferson
Hill Farm and Winery in McLouth
with his wife, Maxine, was among
the several Kansas winery owners
who received a letter of apology
from Sebelius for her comments.
He said he responded to her apol-
ogy with a letter saying that, to
really help Kansas winemakers, she
should pass a law allowing them to
sell wine at farmers markets.
Kansas has 19 vineyards and 15
wineries, which combine to produce
more than 50,000 gallons of wine
each year. Until the city commis-
sion approved the amendment on
Tuesday, they were only allowed to
sell their wine at their own vine-
yards, ship their wine out-of-state
and sell it through a licensed Kansas
liquor store.
To discuss what changes were
needed, Sebelius invited the Bryants
and other winery owners to a con-
ference with herself and Kansas
secretaries of agriculture and com-
merce. Bryant said he told her there
that they needed to be allowed to
sell wine at farmers markets.
And now, two years later, Bryants
suggestion has become a reality. The
state legislature passed a law July
1 that spurred an Aug. 25 amend-
ment to city code allowing the retail
of alcoholic drinks at the Lawrence
Farmers Market.
Jessica Sadler, Janks, Okla., junior,
wasnt surprised the amendment
passed.
Its not like people will come to
the farmers market and get drunk,
she said. Its probably like every-
thing else. Itll taste better because
its made locally.
The Bryants, who have spent the
last 11 years and much of their own
money building their winery, said
they appreciated all the work it took
for statesmen to change the laws.
Im grateful for what theyve
done, Don said. Its just difficult
when youve sunk so much money
into a farm, and theyve added so
many attachments to selling a prod-
uct.
Though the amendment is a
step to loosen up these restrictive
laws, Tom Buller, coordinator of the
Lawrence Farmers Market, said the
amendment still had its limitations.
It has to be a local vendor and
you have to own your own vine-
yard, he said.
Not only that, but vendors are
only allowed to participate in one
farmers market per week. Lawrence
has three, one on Tuesday and
Thursday afternoons and one on
Saturday mornings.
Thats the law: sell at a bona fide
farmers market, one day a week,
Bryant said.
Bryant said he would begin selling
his wine at the Lawrence Farmers
Market next Saturday morning,
after he received his sales permit.
Amendment opens new markets for Kansas wineries
Chance Dibben/KANSAN
Don Bryant, co-owner of Jeferson Hill Farmand Winery, sells goods at the Lawrence Farmers Market Saturday morning. Bryant responded
to Gov. Sebelius apology for comments she made on Kansas wine with a letter asking to give local vineyards the ability to sell at farmers markets.
BUSINESS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON Sen. Edward
Kennedys family fortune not only
fueled his brothers presidential
campaigns and his eight terms in
the U.S. Senate, it also helped drive
the familys liberal legacy and forge
Kennedys lifelong crusade for uni-
versal health care.
Just how wealthy was Kennedy
when he died Tuesday at the age
of 77 after a yearlong battle with
brain cancer?
Untangling a family fortune that
reaches back to the early days of the
past century is murky business, but
the annual federal financial disclo-
sure reports Kennedy was required
to file provide at least a partial
glimpse into his personal capital.
As a U.S. senator, Kennedy
earned a base salary of $165,200
a year, but that just skimmed the
surface of his net worth.
On the most recent report in
2008, which includes his own
assets and those of his wife and
any dependents, Kennedy listed a
string of publicly and non-publicly
traded trusts and assets.
Under the filing rules, Kennedy
was only required to place the
value of those assets within a range,
rather than give an exact dollar
amount.
The report placed the net worth
of his publicly traded assets some-
where between a low of $15 million
and high of $72.6 million.
Just a year earlier, Kennedy
reported somewhat rosier totals
that placed his publicly traded
assets somewhere between a low
of $46.9 million and a high of $157
million.
Kennedy has other sources of
income, including $1,995,833 in
royalties he received from Grand
Central Publishing a division of
Hachette Group Book, publish-
ers of his memoir True Compass

Rough start, smooth fnish
By COREy THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Looking at the freshman roster
may require a pinch just to see if
its a dream.
According to www.rivals.com,
guard Xavier Henry was the eighth
overall recruit to come out of
high school, guard Elijah Johnson
24th overall and forward Thomas
Robinson 31st overall. Center Jeff
Withey is the eighth-ranked center
in college, according to www.scout.
com. Guard C.J. Henry has not had
much basketball exposure recently,
but spent a few years in minor
league baseball.
Just like all first-year students,
the members of the mens basket-
ball team are finding out how dif-
ferent life can be on campus. These
first-year Jayhawks are in the midst
of a transitional phase.
It hasnt hit me yet that Im
actually in college, Robinson said.
What has hit him, he said, is that
the competition in college is going
to be a lot bigger and tougher, as
will the responsibilities.
Theres nobody on your tail,
he said. Its basically you knowing
where to be at and arrive on time.
Xavier noticed the consequences
were far greater in college as well.
You have to be accountable for
all your actions now because if you
get in trouble now, more things can
happen to you, he said.
Xavier has the luxury of having
older brother C.J. close by and his
parents will be moving to Lawrence
soon.
My familys going to be up here
with me, so theres not a lot thats
going to be different, he said. Its
just a different scene and different
things I have to adapt to.
Some players have to grow more
so on their own, and its not an easy
process.
At first I was responding poorly,
Johnson said of the added respon-
sibilities of college life. But I think
Im catching the hang of it. Its
shaping me to be a man already.
When not in school or on the
court, Withey said most of the
teammates got together and had
fun seeing movies, hanging out at
Wal-Mart or playing video games.
Were kids so we do kid stuff,
Xavier said.
C.J. Henry and Withey are in
a different situation because they
have already experienced col-
lege. C.J. spent an injured year at
Memphis and Withey left Arizona
By JAySON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
In his playing days, former offen-
sive lineman Ryan Cantrell wore
his dark hair long and flowing, his
arms served as a canvas for tattoos.
He talked briskly and in a sharp,
booming voice. In nearly every out-
ward manner, Cantrell protruded
football toughness. Plus, he was
Kansas offensive anchor in the
trenches, arguably but usually
agreed upon the roughest and
dirtiest spot on the football field.
So listen then when Cantrell clas-
sifies the Kansas football program,
from the 5-foot-9-inch running
back to the 6-foot-6-inch lineman.
Were all the same type of
players, Cantrell said. Were all
blue-collared, hardworking people
who probably are going to be the
toughest son of a bitch youve come
across on the football field.
n n n
On Nov. 14, 2004, Kansas
played Texas one of the most
talented teams in the country in
Lawrence. The Jayhawks used two
quarterbacks, Brian Luke and John
Nielsen, who handed the ball pri-
marily to Clark Green.
Texas had Vince Young throwing
to Limas Sweed and handing off to
Cedric Benson. All three now play
in the NFL.
Kansas lost 27-23 in the final sec-
onds on a questionable call, launch-
ing Mangino into his well-known
B-C-S tirade. Yet the patchwork
Jayhawks clawed and scraped and
generally went man-to-man with a
team, at least on paper, they had no
business competing with.
Therein lies the power of a team
willing to body up with the big
boys, take the heavy punches and
crunching blows and get back up to
go at it again.
Kansas historically has never
had the respect of teams it played
against in the Big 12, former
running back Jon Cornish said.
Mangino did the most ideal thing
he could do by recruiting people
that wanted to be the underdog,
that wanted to be that guy to go in
there, odds against them, and win.
Thats where the toughness really
comes in handy.
Maybe the Jayhawks wont ever
be as physically gifted as some of
the schools on their schedule. But
Mangino and his staff demand a
team that will never stutter against
more talented teams.
The goal is to craft a group that,
regardless of skill sets or recruiting
stars, is just plain tough.
He made sure we knew that he
wouldnt settle for anything else,
former quarterback Bill Whittemore
said. If something was less, hed
take care of it in a tough manner.
He didnt let anybody slip through
the cracks and get away with stuff.
n n n
Manginos approach for spread-
ing that desire is less bravado and
more self-motivation. After all, a
player cant just be taught tough-
ness. He must want to become so
himself.
On the phone, Cornishs voice
peaks when digging into his past, to
his former playing days in Lawrence
and, specifically, to a drill that typi-
fies Kansas philosophy.
Really, its nothing more than
K
ansas Athletics could use a
beer summit.
At issue is Bud Lights
Fan Can promotion an advertis-
ing campaign in which cans of the
product feature the colors of 27
schools including Kansas. Kansas
and most other schools are call-
ing for Anheuser-Busch to end the
campaign.
Were one of the schools that
wrote to Anheuser-Busch and asked
them not to use the colors, Jim
Marchiony, associate athletics direc-
tor, said. Our biggest concern was
the attraction to the product. All
schools have to be concerned about
that.
Bud Light joins Joe College the
local T-shirt purveyor that Kansas is
involved in an ongoing legal battle
over trademark rights to receive
cease and desist orders from the
school.
Weve also been in contact with
their local distributor and told them
what our position was as well,
Marchiony said.
For now the school-spirited cans
can be found at any number of local
liquor shops. Among them is Cork &
Barrel, whose location at Ninth and
Mississippi streets is within walking
distance of Memorial Stadium.
Craig Frint, assistant manager,
said that the areas Bud Light dis-
tributor told him they had intended
to distribute 4,000 cases but recently
said that number would shrink to
2,000 or less until further delibera-
tion.
I could understand if they used
the letters K-U or the schools logo
but hey, its colors, Frint said.
The cans arrived at the store
Friday and cashier Jake Hager,
Shawnee senior, said he didnt think
they promoted underage drinking.
I dont see a flashing light on
them, Hager said.
On more than one occasion Ive
witnessed the dark side of alcohol
consumption. Alcohol can contrib-
ute to the ruination of marriage and
produce memories that linger with
no quarter asked and none given.
We live in a binge-drinking soci-
ety. Binge drinking constitutes 75
percent of alcohol consumed by all
adults, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
But to think the color of a can will
further promote underage or binge
drinking is an display of impaired
judgment. It illustrates that were no
closer to controlling alcohol abuse
now than we were decades ago.
Were running out of ideas.
As for Marchionys concerns, I see
where hes coming from. Obviously
if there is no Kansas Athletics then
there are no Fan Cans in Lawrence.
Anheuser-Busch is looking to cash
in on the cans just as much as
Kansas Athletics is looking to cash
in on selling courtside basketball
seats.
Heres a thought: Why not part-
ner Kansas and Bud Light together?
Both parties can cash in. The beer
will still only be legally be sold to
21-year-olds, the underage drinkers
that want a sip will still find a way as
they always do and we can refocus
our efforts to quell binge drinking
more effectively and realistically.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.
Andy Rios couldnt wait to get
home to Southern California to
have some french fries.
Theres a big victory meal
upcoming back in Chula Vista.
Bulla Grafts sharp single scored
the go-ahead run in the fourth
inning and Kiko Garcia pitched
three-plus scoreless innings of
relief to lead California to a 6-3
victory Sunday over Taoyuan,
Taiwan, to win the Little League
World Series.
With the U.S.-partisan crowd
on their feet, Garcia closed out the
victory by striking out Yu Chieh
Kao, completing a comeback from
a 3-0 deficit.
The California fans yelled USA!
USA.
We knew we could come
back, said the 13-year-old Garcia
in between laughs with his team-
mates. We always do.
Theyre surely celebrating in the
San Diego suburbs after California
secured the fifth straight Little
League championship for the
United States.
After a wild celebration around
Garcia, the Californians invited
Taiwan to accompany them on
the customary victory lap around
Lamade Stadium on a sun-splashed
afternoon.
But the championship banner
belonged to California.
It seems San Diego comes so
close all the time. The Padres come
close and dont win. The Chargers
come close and dont win, man-
ager Oscar Castro said. It was nice
to do it for the city.
Castro sought to shield his team
from the pressure of the tourna-
ment as they advanced, forbidding
them to surf the Internet for the
last three weeks to prevent them
from seeing the media exposure
back home.
Victory on Sunday
looked in doubt early.
Wen Hua Sung and
Chin Ou hit back-to-
back homers in the
third to give Taiwan
a 3-0 lead.
California scored
a run in the third
before surging ahead in the fourth.
Seth Godfrey drove in a run on
a sacrifice fly before Nick Conlin
scored on a wild pitch.
Even Vice President Joe Biden,
who attended the game, was
impressed, standing and clapping
as his three granddaughters looked
on.
Later, Taiwan walked slugger
Luke Ramirez with two outs to
bring up Graft.
The 12-year-old second base-
man hit a 1-1 pitch to right to score
Rios from third.
Taiwan loaded the bases in
the fifth off two hit batters and a
walk, but Garcia escaped the jam
after getting Ou to ground into an
inning-ending double play.
Rios snagged the bouncer,
tagged the runner going to third
before throwing to first to get Ou.
It was just instinct to tag the
runner, he was right in front of
me, the 13-year-old Rios said.
They had all the momentum with
the bases loaded, but I gave us the
momentum with the double play.
C a l i f o r n i a
added two runs
in the fifth, more
than enough cush-
ion for Garcia.
The boys threw
their gloves high
in the air after Kao
struck out, then
gathered near the
mound and fell into a pile on the
ground.
After the game, the boys were
asked what they wanted to do
when they got home. Rios, flashing
a mischievous grin, raised his hand
and said he wanted to go the teams
favorite restaurant for the custom-
ary post-victory celebration.
Rios and Godfrey longed for
fries, while Garcia wanted tacos.
Its just an amazing feeling,
the 12-year-old Godfrey said. We
went for it, and we did.
T
he Kansas Jayhawk is too
nice.
Seriously. Look at him
(her?). Tell me hes (shes?) not
going to wink at me any second
now. And winking in sports, and
in general really, is rarely as effec-
tive as Moonlight Graham would
lead you to believe in Field of
Dreams. (If you havent seen it:
rent it, watch it, thank me later.)
But aside from my personal
beliefs about winking and my
fondness for 80s sports movies,
my argument is lacking in expla-
nation.
The University of Kansas is a
school that prides itself on tra-
dition. Just watch the pregame
video for mens basketball. It starts
with a classic picture of Dr. James
Naismith looking at a basketball
that must be nearing a hundred
years old. The Rock Chalk chant
is one of the most enduring in
sports. During the intermission,
the former logos of the school
rotate overhead on the video
board.
And it was during one of those
intermissions that this idea crept
into my head. The Warbird, the
logo adopted by the school in
1941, has a cocky stance, an angry
slant above his eye, and his beak is
in a menacing scowl. It was insti-
tuted, not coincidentally, along
with the United States involve-
ment in World War II.
The current Jayhawk, adopted
in 1946 because apparently this
argument was not raised the
story goes that KU student Hal
Sandy drew a friendlier Jayhawk as
World War II drew to a close is
exactly what Sandy intended. Hes
friendly, inviting and by no means
intimidating.
Thats great for stationery, wel-
come mats, official documents and
the like. But on a jersey, in com-
petition, I want something thats a
little menacing.
This isnt without precedence.
Four years ago, the Arizona
Cardinals were one of the worst
teams in the NFL. Three years ago,
they took a cute, friendly cardinal
logo and turned him into an angry
and as-menacing-as-a-cardinal-
can-be logo that owner Bill Bidwill
called a tough bird. Last year, the
Cardinals were in the Super Bowl.
Coincidence? Probably. Their
Super Bowl had more to do with
the emergence of Larry Fitzgerald
as the best receiver on the planet
and Kurt Warners rebirth from
the ashes in, appropriately,
Phoenix. Either way, though, the
birth of their new, menacing logo
coincided with their emergence as
a legitimate football team.
But at the moment, Kansas
hardly needs help emerging on the
national scene in athletics. Theyre
no pre-logo change Arizona
Cardinals. So why change up the
logo?
Because look at the Warbird.
Hes just so damn cool. And hes
not about to wink at me.

Taking home the trophy
U.S. wins the Little League World Series for fifth time in a row by HOWARD FENDRICH
Associated Press
NEW YORK As last years
U.S. Open began, plenty of people
were wondering what was wrong
with Roger Federer. Feeling sorry
for the guy, even.
Federer arrived at Flushing
Meadows in 2008 ranked No. 2,
not No. 1. He arrived with
gasp! zero Grand Slam titles for
the season, having lost to Rafael
Nadal in finals at the French Open
(a blowout) and Wimbledon (a
heartbreaker). He arrived to a
chorus of questions about wheth-
er Nadal had surpassed him for
good.
U.S. Open spectators rallied to
Federers side, cheering for him as
if he were an underdog rather
than the man who would depart
with the champions trophy for the
fifth year in a row.
I was really blown away. I
thought that was so cool, Federer
said in an interview with The
Associated Press. It was like they
said: We have to support our man
here, because he needs to come
back to where he belongs. It was
like they wanted to push me back
to the top. Winning the U.S. Open
was sort of the jump start.
Yes, as this years last Grand
Slam tournament starts Monday,
Federer is back.
Starting with his victory in New
York, Federer has won three of the
past four major tournaments to
raise his career total to 15 Grand
Slam championships, breaking
Pete Sampras record. He is ranked
No. 1 again.
And theres been more good
news off the court: Hes now mar-
ried and a father of twins, no
less.
You change, all of a sudden,
Federer said, snapping his fingers,
from needing nine hours of sleep,
to saying, Five is plenty.
As Federer-the-father bids to
become the first man since Rod
Laver in 1969 to win three con-
secutive major championships in
a single season, and the first since
Bill Tilden in 1920-25 to win six
straight titles at the American
Grand Slam tournament, its his
nemesis, Nadal, who looks to be
in need of a boost.
TennIS
Federer takes Nadals place at top
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rafael Nadal, fromSpain, hits a backhand against Novak Djokovic, fromSerbia, at the
Cincinnati Open tennis tournament in Mason, Ohio, on Aug. 22. Djokovic won 6-1, 6-4. Nadal
concedes he probably isnt in peak condition heading into the U.S. Open.
We knew we could
come back. We
always do.

By JOEL PETTERSON
jpetterson@kansan.com
Kansas couldnt seem to get a
shot off that wasnt blocked by the
Arizona State defense, goalkeeper
or a goalpost, so it had to be the
Sun Devils own defense that gave
the Jayhawks a 1-0 victory against
the Sun Devils on Sunday.
Senior Monica Dolinsky led
Kansas with four shots on goal in
a victory that put Kansas soccer at
3-0 to start the season.
The team had a notable absence
in senior forward Shannon
McCabe, who sat out with an inju-
ry. Coach Mark Francis said they
didnt know how long McCabe
would be out, but for Sundays
game it meant some tinkering
with positions and formations.
We had a few injuries. We had
to move some people around, but I
thought our heart and intensity was
really good, Francis said. Thatll
take us a lot further than just tal-
ent.
McCabes injury meant that the
rest of the team needed to step up
and fill the gap left by the senior
leader, and thats exactly what hap-
pened.
It allows other players to step
up and show us what they have,
said Dolinsky of McCabes absence.
If anything, we used Shannon
as motivation and played for her
today.
The Jayhawks came out firing
and had five shots in the first 11
minutes of the game. After the first
half ended scoreless, Kansas had
outshot Arizona State 11-4 and
Arizona State goalkeeper Briana
Silvestre had to make five saves to
keep it equal.
The pressure finally paid off for
Kansas in the 55th minute, when
a cross from freshman Shelby
Williamson bounced off an Arizona
State defender and into the back of
the net. From there on out, the
Jayhawks relied on their defense to
seal the victory. Kat Liebetrau made
five saves on the game to earn her
second shutout of the season.
We played much better soc-
cer today than we did on Friday,
Francis said.
Sundays victory and the victory
over Pepperdine on Friday gives
the Jayhawks the Lady Vol Invite
title, the teams first regular season
tournament title since 2006.
(Winning the tournament) gives
us a lot of confidence, especially
with the caliber of teams that were
here, Dolinsky said. Winning
both games on the road is a big
step for us.
With the Lady Vol Invite over,
the team returns to Lawrence to
face Long Beach State on Friday in
its home opener.

Kansas did not need much
warm-up time to make its mark
in Fridays match against the
Pepperdine Waves. The Jayhawks
scored a goal early in each half
and held on in the last 14 minutes
for a 2-1 victory.
Coach Mark Francis was happy
his team won, but didnt think it
was its best effort,
saying the win
wasnt particu-
larly pretty.
But he couldnt
have been upset
with how the
match started.
Senior forward
Shannon McCabe
put Kansas on the
board in the fourth minute after
she settled a pass from sophomore
forward Emily Cressy and buried
a tough shot past the far post.
The Jayhawks kept up the
attack for the next 20 minutes
with numerous shots from senior
midfielder Monica Dolinsky and
freshman midfielder Whitney
Berry.
However, Pepperdine did not
back down. It outshot Kansas 9
to 8 in the first half, and fresh-
man Kat Liebetrau had to make
a couple of key saves
to keep the Jayhawks
ahead at the break.
Then, in the 54th
minute, Cressy set-
tled a cross from
Dolinsky and scored
her first goal of the
season. It turned out
to be a much need-
ed insurance goal
because it wasnt long
before Pepperdine responded.
After Cressys goal, Pepperdine
peppered shots at the goal, hitting
the same post twice and forcing
Liebetrau to make more key saves.
In the 76th minute, Pepperdine
senior Kelly Reilly launched
a 25-yard strike that nailed
the crossbar. Senior Michelle
Spacciapolli finished the rebound
to cut Kansas lead in half.
With a draw looming under
Pepperdines relentless attack,
Kansas defense needed to hold
for just under 15 minutes.
Dolinsky said the defense had
to adjust, so they started simply
clearing in the ball instead of try-
ing to find the feet of a teammate.
This allowed Pepperdine to main-
tain possession longer, but forced
the opposition to be perfect to
score a goal.
We kept the ball better when
they were pressing us, so were
learning, Dolinsky said.
Francis said the defense really
buckled down to stop the Waves
attack. Pepperdines more direct
approach led to longer passes over
the top of the defense.
We did a really good job
defending balls in the air, Francis
said.
With the victory secured,
Francis said he was proud of how
his players stepped up at the right
time.
I think this group has that
kind of heart, Francis said.

Seattle shoots down Kansas City in 6-3 victory
ASSOCiATEd PRESS
SEATTLE Zack Greinkes
next task after setting a Royals
record for strikeouts in a single
game: studying.
Three days after Kansas Citys
flourishing ace struck out 15
Cleveland Indians, Greinke spent
Friday night watching every move
of Felix Hernandez, Seattles top
young gun and a fellow contend-
er for the American Leagues Cy
Young Award this season.
Yeah, Im probably going to
watch him as close as Ive watched
anyone this year, Greinke said
hours before Hernandez held the
Royals to five hits and three runs for
his 13th win in 18 decisions, a 6-3
victory over Kansas City.
Greinke, 12-8 with an AL-leading
2.43 ERA, said that from his scans
of box scores and pitch counts, it
appears to him as if Hernandez
and Toronto ace Roy Halladay
are excelling through efficiency
as much as dominance. Greinke
sounded intrigued by the idea of
precise pitch location low in the
strike zone getting quicker outs
than strikeouts.
Greinke has 197
of those, second in
the AL to the 211
of Detroits Justin
Verlander.
He seems like
Halladay, in that they
just let the ball get
put in play to get a
ground ball, Greinke
said of Hernandez,
adding he was eager to see up close
if that was so.
The 25-year-old Greinke said he
closely follows all the top pitchers
in the AL, including New Yorks
CC Sabathia. It motivates the sixth
overall pick in the 2002 draft.
If youve got other people doing
great things, youre like, OK, its
possible, Greinke said. To do
those things is not impossible.
The Indians would have been
happier if the Royals thorough-
bred wore blinders. They were too
patient Wednesday while falling
behind counts,
then whiffed
under a barrage of
tricky changeups
as Greinke broke
Mark Gubiczas
21-year-old team
record of 14 strike-
outs in a game.
The Royals
have taken almost
everything Greinke wore that night
to display in their Hall of Fame in
Kansas City.
They asked for all I could give
them, he said. I said, Take every-
thing except my shoes ... and my
glove. Ive been wearing those spikes
all year and even some last year
and theyve been doing good.
Yes, they have. His ERA this year
would be the third-best over a full
season in Royals history, behind
Bret Saberhagens 2.16 ERA in 1989
and Roger Nelsons 2.08 in 1972.
He is 47 strikeouts behind Dennis
Leonards team record set 32 years
ago. And thats within reach: After
he starts Sundays series finale here,
he will probably have a half-dozen
outings remaining in his season.
Hes been a Sports Illustrated
cover boy. Hes been heralded as
the best pitcher in the game. He
has electrified what otherwise has
been another dreary baseball sea-
son in Kansas City.
Yet Greinke only nods his head
and flashes a smile when asked
what it means to be mentioned as a
Cy Young candidate, on a team that
hasnt had a pitcher win the award
since David Cone in 1994.
No, Im just worried about
pitching my next game, he said.
If youve got other
people doing great
things, youre like,
OK, its possible.

First-game jitters may have got-
ten the best of the Kansas volley-
ball team as the squad lost its first
game of the season. But Kansas
came back to win its next two
matches this weekend at the Middle
Tennessee State Tournament.
After losing (Friday), we knew
we had to take care of business
and get a couple
wins under our belt,
Allison Mayfield
said. It was kind of
motivation that we
lost because we knew
we needed to step up.
Everyone wanted to
get that taste out of
our mouths and get a
couple wins.
Kansas lost to
Middle Tennessee State University
1-3 (25-16, 18-25, 25-19, 25-18)
in the season opener. Coach Ray
Bechard said that Kansas had its
opportunities in the third and
fourth set but was outplayed
toward the end of the sets.
It was a fun atmosphere, but
they were just a little more com-
fortable at home, Bechard said
of MTSU. I think it was a great
learning experience for our kids to
be exposed to something right out
of the shoot like that. It was one of
our goals to find an extremely high
RPI tournament the first weekend
and that is what we did.
In the second match of the tour-
nament, Kansas defeated Xavier
3-1 (16-25, 25-20, 25-17, 25-16)
for its first regular season victory
of the year.
After losing a shaky first set
that included 10
errors, Kansas
went on to win
the next three and
set the momen-
tum for the day.
We didnt come
out real strong.
They were a good
team, senior mid-
dle blocker Paige
Mazour said.
Mazour said the team then eval-
uated what it needed to do to win
the next two matches.
We cut out our errors, took
care of the ball on our side and
played our game, Mazour said.
Mazour set a career-high and
match-high 13 kills in the sec-
ond match and Mayfield was right
behind her with 11 kills of her
own.
In the third match, Kansas
defeated Murray State University
3-0 (25-16, 25-19, 25-18) with
relative ease.
After a convincing first two sets,
Kansas fell behind 6-12 early on
in the third set but then scored
10 of the next 12 points and never
looked back in recording its first
sweep of the season.
Mazour and Mayfield continued
their high offensive attack with
10 more kills each in the third
match while junior outside hitter
Karina Garlington added 13 kills.
Mayfield also had 11 digs as she
racked up her first career double-
double.
We really got better as the tour-
nament went along, Bechard said.
Kansas will host the Jayhawk
Invitational this weekend when
they play Lipscomb at noon on
Friday, Florida International at 7
p.m. Friday and Creighton at 1
p.m. Saturday.

because of coaching instabil-
ity. To them this is just a new
environment, but the situation
remains the same when it comes
to school and basketball.
C.J. credits a bulk of his
maturing to his stint in minor
league baseball. He was drafted
in 2005 and played on the minor
teams for both the Yankees and
the Phillies.
I was on my own at 18 and
you have to learn and you have
to grow up, he said. The first
day on the job, it becomes a real
business. Youre getting paid to
play. When youre getting paid,
they expect results and perfor-
mance.
Withey said he was impressed
with the atmosphere of Lawrence
in comparison with the West
Coast, where hes from.
Everyones real quiet and
nice, he said. Its real friendly. I
get along with everybody here.
Considering the pressure of
joining a team contending for a
championship, all the freshmen
said it was a positive feeling.
No player seems the least bit
intimidated.
We have a lot of pressure
because we have to step up and
contribute right away, Withey
said. Its fun always having a lot
of pressure for you to perform.
Johnson echoed Witheys sen-
timents and said that although
college basketball could be over-
whelming, it was still fun.
Its a once-in-a-lifetime
experience that coach Self gave
me, he said. Im trying to take
advantage of it.
a game of tug-of-war: two players
battling over one balled and taped
towel. Yet theres something more,
something that grinds and shapes
players mentalities.
You cant lose that drill, Cornish
said. If you lose that, youre not
going to necessarily be humiliated,
but youre going to feel bad because
you lost. And you lost in front of
every single one of your teammates
so you wont be able to live it down
for a few days. Thats more than
enough motivation for most guys.
Then theres the drill called the
farmers walk. During designated
competition days, the Jayhawks
divide into relay teams and alternate
between carrying base weights in a
race format.
Without bars connecting the 70
and 80 pound weights, players learn
on the fly the proper technique
for handling the unusually shaped
weights. And with the emphasis
placed on team competition, a pres-
sure factor is added to the drill.
You dont ask the kids to be
tougher. Its not that you shout and
holler and tell them they have to be
tougher and get after it, Mangino
said. No, you hold them to a high
standard. You finish every drill. You
finish every play.
Manginos standards for tough-
ness reach beyond the physical
realm.
When you think you dont have
anything else, youre able to give
a little bit more, Mangino said.
When things are tough and in a
tight game, the guy thats mentally
tough is going to stand up and make
a play.
Manginos first recruiting class
included a list of players that either
fit or developed into more than suit-
able examples of that philosophy.
David Ochoa entered Kansas as
a 255-pound center who bulked up
to 285 pounds and earned All Big
12 second team honors as a senior.
Bob Whitaker played and started at
offensive line despite two horrible
knees that forced him to hobble
between plays.
Nick Reid, Kevin Kane and Banks
Floodman, a Terry Allen recruit,
became stalwarts at linebacker and
are revered as much for their work
habits as for their accomplishments
on the field.
There are not three linebackers
that I would take over those three
guys in the country, Whittemore
said. Honestly. Outsized, probably
not quick enough or heavy enough,
but those guys got the job done.
Thats what these guys see when
they see that work ethic day in and
day out.
Yet its Reid who most stands
out.
Originally lured to Kansas as a
quarterback, Reid switched to line-
backer early in his career and became
the walking symbol of toughness for
the Kansas football program.
In his senior season, the Derby
native earned Big 12 Defensive
Player of the Year honors over
future NFLers Michael Huff and
Cedric Griffin.
He might not have been the
biggest guy or the fastest guy but
he just worked and worked and
worked, Cornish said. He was a
prime example for the rest of us to
who we should aspire to be.
And so the chain reaction began.
n n n

Cornish walked onto campus in
2002 an introverted thinker with a
brash confidence about his athletic
ability. Naturally, then, he watched
the work and day-to-day grind tak-
ing place with a skeptics view his
first couple of years.
But as he matured, so, too, did
his perception of Manginos con-
cept, one that sounds easily installed
yet is often much more difficult to
apply.
You have guys that come in and
they were like me, they dont really
buy into the whole thing, Cornish
said. Theyre like, No, Im good the
way I am. But you start to see how
hard the guys older than you work
and how bad they want it. That
really does affect you as a player.
The process to reaching that point
is much like the most basic steps of
a waterfall.
First, there must be a source. And
without a doubt Kansas mentality
starts with Mangino, who employs
the same approach to coaching as he
preaches to his players.
With a program in need of severe
repair and with facilities ranking
near the bottom of the Big 12 in
2002 Mangino relied on a tireless
work ethic and relentless persistence
to drive the program from its disap-
pointing past.
I think every team reflects the
personality of its coach, senior
safety Darrell Stuckey said. Coach
Mangino is a very blue-collared guy.
Hes one of those guys thats not
going to cut any corners, and hes
going to do every little thing he
needs to do to get the job done. The
last three bowl games weve won,
we literally won because we out-
toughed the other team.
But to function properly, a source
must have an outlet to carry the
water or message to the next
step. Mangino funneled that tough-
minded philosophy to his players,
who in turn trickled the message
down to incoming recruits.
Its a cycle and pattern that devel-
oped a program-wide mindset.
Having coached at other schools
in the conference before I went to
Kansas, the label on Kansas was
they werent very tough, Mangino
said. If I was going to be the foot-
ball coach at Kansas Im used to
being around tough teams we
were going to have to be tougher.
n n n
Toughness can be cultivated and
learned throughout the course of a
season or career, but its also a trait
Mangino and his staff search for
while recruiting.
Toughness isnt measurable. Its
even hard to fully prove. But players
past and present adamantly insist
its there inside every player seeing
the field.
Were not a team whos going
to have all the five-star or four-star
recruits, Cantrell said. Were going
to have guys who are willing to put
the hours in the weight room, the
film room and even in the training
room if we need to. We have those
guys who are willing to put that time
in so they can get on the field and do
what they love to do.
The love and desire to play foot-
ball is an intangible aspect sought
after by the Kansas staff, and its
something that usually jells with
Manginos ideas on toughness.
We try to recruit tough kids.
Sometimes we fail in that area,
but we like kids that love to play
this game, Mangino said. I think
if you love to play football, the
toughness is there.
Surely to seal the deal you need
examples.
What about that cold day in
Nebraska last season when Todd
Reesing took a crunching hit from
a blitzing defender, remained on his
feet and found Kerry Meier open for
a touchdown?
Or the Orange Bowl in 2008
when Kansas faced a bigger, fast-
er and more nationally respected
Virginia Tech team, only to turn
around and defeat the Hokies at
their own game?
Or against Missouri last year in
the snow, when Kansas entered the
game with impact players ailing but
still managed to scrape out a vic-
tory?
If the idea hasnt completely
soaked in by now, how about
listening to Ryan Cantrell one
more time?
There isnt one guy whos out
there actually playing that hasnt
proven himself to be tough, Cantrell
said. Coach Mangino prides him-
self on that. We have the toughest
players out there, theres no doubt
about that in my mind.

Notes from
KaNsas' updated
depth chart
n Junior Brad Thorson, who
is also Kansas backup center,
has been listed as a frst-team
guard along with junior Sal
Capra. Thorson transferred
from Wisconsin before the
start of last season.
n The three linebackers on
the frst-team are junior Justin
Springer, junior Drew Dudley
and senior Arist Wright.
n Freshman Toben Opurum
and sophomore Rell Lewis
were listed together as back-
ups to senior running back
Jake Sharp. The two will likely
share carries this season.
n Sophomore quarterback
Kale Pick is currently Todd
Reesings backup. There was
much speculation during the
ofseason whether Pick would
replace wide receiver Kerry
Meier as the reserve quarter-
back.
n Sophomore Darius Parish
is listed as the backup right
tackle. Parish moved from
defensive tackle to ofensive
tackle before the start of fall
practices in early August.
n Senior Justin Thornton is
listed as the frst team safety
after moving to cornerback at
the end of the last season. He
replaces junior Phillip Strozier.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
winless, worried and wounded
Kansas City Chiefs launched a
short work week Sunday while
awaiting medical tests on quarter-
back Matt Cassel and cornerback
Brandon Flowers.
Cassel limped off the field and
out of sight after he was sacked on
the third play of Saturday nights
dismal 14-10 loss to Seattle, and
the extent of his injury was uncer-
tain.
The same was true for Flowers,
who returned an interception 28
yards for a touchdown before
hurting his shoulder early in the
first half.
Wide receiver Devard Darling
was also helped to the sideline in
the third quarter with an apparent
leg injury.
Coach Todd Haley said he
would discuss the injuries at a
later date.
A team spokesman said Sunday
there might be additional infor-
mation following a practice on
Monday that figured to be tough
and demanding following what
was by far the most disappointing
of Kansas Citys three preseason
losses.
Really disappointing across the
board for me, Haley said.
Fans hoping a new coach, gen-
eral manager and quarterback
would quickly erase the leftover
memories of last seasons 2-14
debacle already seem antsy.
Following several misplays
in the third quarter, the crowd
at a less-than-full Arrowhead
Stadium, which is undergoing a
$375 million renovation under-
written mostly by taxpayers, let
loose with a chorus of boos for
their home team.
Backup quarterback Tyler
Thigpen, who played most of the
time last year because of inju-
ries to first- and second-teamers,
looked like his old self. Hampered
by an ineffective offensive line,
Thigpen was consistently unable
to move the team.
When youre 1-10 on third
down, youre not getting it done at
quarterback, Haley said. Theres
just no way. Even if there are
breakdowns at other places, the
quarterback, its his responsibility
to move the chains. At 1-10, there
really wasnt much good happen-
ing.
Brodie Croyle, fighting Thigpen
for the No. 2 spot behind Cassel,
who signed a six-year contract
for $28 million guaranteed, did
not play.
That was just the direction we
decided to go, Haley said.
Aside from a robust running
game in the first quarter, the
offense was almost entirely a dud.
Defensively, there were some good
spots. Rookie defensive end Tyson
Jackson had a sack and tipped the
pass that Flowers intercepted.
Special teams also were shaky.
Rookie kicker Ryan Succop, who
had been 3-for-3 on field-goal
attempts the first two games,
pulled a 28-yard kick in the sec-
ond quarter and was short on a
53-yarder at the half.
There was also a muffed punt
and a kickoff that was nearly fum-
bled.

Heath Slocum wins frst
event at The Barclays
JERSEY CITY, N.J. One week
after barely qualifying for golfs
version of the playofs, Heath
Slocum has won the opening
event at The Barclays with a 20-
foot par putt on the fnal hole.

Woods missed the putt.

rington also fnished one shot
behind in a fascinating start to
