Admit it. Weve all been there at
some point frustrated with our
firting tactics or the seeming
lack thereof.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the
answers to your questions are here.
Jefrey Hall, assistant professor
of communication studies, and his
colleagues recently named fve dif-
ferent styles of firting.
Te fve styles are: physical, tradi-
tional, polite, sincere and playful.
Hall, who wouldnt disclose his
style of firting, has been studying
firting for six years.
Teres no question that people
are interested in firting at this time
in their life, he said.
Terry Tomas, a junior from Kan-
sas City, Kan., said he has learned
the hard way that not every type of
firting works.
He said if he were out at a club,
grabbing a girls hand doesnt always
go over well.
She doesnt know you, he said.
You are just taking the step on a
limb.
Jillian Watson, a freshman from
Lawrence, said she took the firting
styles quiz on the Universitys web-
site and found out shes a playful
firt.
She said she usually firts by being
touchy and joking around. But if a
guy is overly sexual or forward, she
said its a total turnof.
College students have a variety
of relationships. Romantic, if you
can believe that, plus others like ca-
sual relationships, on-again and of-
again relationships and hook-ups
are some of these types.
But diferent relationships also
mean diferent ways of firting.
It makes sense that there are dif-
ferent styles to go about courtship,
Hall said.
Hall also said some people who
take the firting styles quiz on the
website might be surprised by their
results.
Its possible that a persons promi-
nent firting style might be going
against their romantic motives. For
example, if a person were searching
for a romantic relationship but has a
playful firting style, potential part-
ners may not think they are serious.
Hall said some styles are less
prominent among young people
than among older people. Men are
actually less likely to be physical and
sincere when they are younger, but
might have those styles as they age.
Also, some women are less physical
and polite when they are younger,
but might gravitate toward these
styles as they get older. But Hall said
the most pronounced age diference
is that women are much more tradi-
tional when they are younger than
when they are older.
Man or woman, not every student
is conscious of their firting style.
I just kind of wing it, said Brady
Cowen, a freshman from Topeka. I
dont really have a plan ever.
Whatever your method is, learn-
ing about the fve firting styles can
help college students understand
why their relationships are or are
not successful.
Tere is no best, Hall said. It
just depends on what you want to
do.

About the study
Jefrey Hall, assistant professor of communications, said that before this study, firt-
ing research suggested that there was really only one way to go about firting.
Hall and his co-authors had the opportunity to survey more than 5,000 adults about
their ways of firting. The adults surveyed were using the online dating website
eHarmony.
But the study didnt just include college students. Participants were ages 18-94.
Having that diversity of ages allows us to actually sort of see, What is my firting
style relative to people my same age and gender? he said.
The Flirting Styles Quiz, which can be found on KUs homepage, asks 36 questions
about firting preferences. Results from these questions show a persons prominent
firting style and how they rank against peers.
However, there is an important limitation to the study, Hall said.
The fve styles describe heterosexual relationships only. There werent enough homosexual participants
in the study to form accurate claims, Hall said.
Hall had three co-authors in the study: Steve Carter, senior director of research and product develop-
ment at eHarmony.com; Michael J. Cody, professor at the University of Southern California and Julie M.
Albright, adjunct professor at the University of Southern California.
Results from their study will be published in the October issue of the journal Communication Quarterly.

The student voice since 1904
Five firting styles introduced by University professor
teAse tActics
Five ways of firting
Physical
These are people who are comfortable using their physicality and body language to express at-
traction. This is the style that involves aspects most people associate with firting including body
language, tone of voice and being touchy.
traditional
This style involves more traditional romantic scripts. Men should take the lead in romantic en-
gagements and women should be more passive. Women who arent passive are typically turnofs.
Polite
This style is based on the idea that firting in forward or aggressive ways is unappealing.
People with this firting style are cautious and rule-governed. These people are also careful in the
way they say theyre interested in someone.
sincere
People with this firting style are seeking an emotional connection through firting. Like the
physical style, this is one of the more prominent ways that people go about expressing attraction.
If this style is adopted on its own, the person isnt really interested in sexual chemistry, but more
about learning about the person behind the body.
Playful
We think of playful firts as firting with everyone they meet. They feel like firting is fun and that is
doesnt have to be reserved for sexual interest or romantic desire.

What do you think?
HAnnAH Arredondo
Kansas city, Mo. freshman
PHil sHuster
topeka freshman
How do you firt?
I just, you know, hit him. I would say wink, but I
dont really do that. I like when people wink at
me. I dont know. Smile a lot. Thats it.
What could a guy do that would be a turnof?
When they send smiley faces in texts and winky
texts, thats the one thing that really bothers me.
How do you firt?
I just talk to girls and if they talk back, I just keep
talking to them, I guess.
What should firting be?
Flirting should be fun and joking around at frst.
Then you can take it a little more serious when
you get to know them more.
JAson HAberly
independence senior
How do you firt?
I had a lady tell me today that Im very forward.
Im broke so Im adamant about the fact that the
only thing I could bring to a casual encounter
would be food. I just try to get a smile on a firt. I
leave the sexual innuendos out of it because its
not about sex. Its just about friendship. Friend-
ship can turn into something else. Its all situ-
ational. Each firtation is diferent. Im a situational
firt I guess.
britini delgAdo
louisburg senior
How do you firt?
Jokes are a good way to break the ice and
laughter. Thats how I started the relationship
with my boyfriend. It wasnt corny. It was fun
and original stuf.

Whether a freshman or senior, its
never too early to start planning for
graduation.
Today, the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences will be hosting
Grad-A-Palooza, a new event cre-
ated to help students graduate in a
timely manner and avoid potential
academic pitfalls. For the majority
of students, this means graduating
in four years. Many juniors and
seniors, however, may not realize
all of the necessary steps to take in
order to graduate on time, leading
to some potential trip-ups.
Lauren McEnaney, a graduation
advisor, said the event will re-edu-
cate students in the ability to read an
ARTS form and a degree audit, and
help them learn to avoid and plan
for possible snags, such as problems
with transfer credits and petitioning

CRIME
Jayhawk statue is
damaged again
The classic Jayhawk statue in
front of the kansas union was
damaged over the weekend,
marking the second occurrence
this semester.
The statue was discovered
uprooted a few feet away from its
original spot saturday morning,
just hours before the colorado
football game.
A ku maintenance employee
discovered the Jayhawk when it
was not bolted to the ground in
front of the union. Wayne Pearse,
director of facilities, then notifed
emergency dispatchers between
7:30 and 8 a.m.
Pearse said he doesnt under-
stand why people keep vandal-
izing the statue.
Luckily damage was not
that bad this time. Prior to its
re-installment we are going to
take some additional measures to
ensure its safety from this point
forward. but we dont want to
elaborate on what that might
be, Pearse said. Its hard for us to
believe that someone wants to
damage our mascot so much.
Two ATms inside of the union
were also damaged along with
the statue. The front plates were
broken into, but its unclear if any
money was taken. Pearse said the
university Public safety ofce
does have evidence on camera
of an individual vandalizing the
ATms.
Investigators are still unsure if
the vandalism with the Jayhawk
statue is related to the ATm
incidents.

NEW DELHI Deepening
Americas stake in Asian power
politics, President Barack Obama
on Monday endorsed Indias bid
to become a permanent member
of the U.N. Security Council, hop-
ing to elevate the nation of a bil-
lion people to its rightful place in
the world alongside an assertive
China.
Obamas declaration, delivered
to the pounding applause of Indias
parliament members, spoke to a
mission broader than the makeup
of one global institution. By spend-
ing three packed days in India,
announcing trade deals, dismiss-
ing job-outsourcing gripes and
admonishing Indias rival Pakistan,
Obama went all in for an ally whose
support he hopes to bank on for
years.
I want every Indian citizen to
know: The United States of America
will not simply be cheering you on
from the sidelines, Obama said
inside the soaring legislative cham-
ber of the capital city. We will be
right there with you, shoulder to
shoulder, because we believe in the
promise of India.
To Obama, that promise entails
shaking up the world order by giv-
ing more voice to developing coun-
tries that offer lucrative markets for
U.S. products and potential help to
counter terrorism and a warming
planet. India fits Obamas agenda
perfectly because it is the worlds
largest democracy and sits in the
heart of a pivotal, vexing region.
The diplomacy in India also gave
Obama a chance to reassert him-
self on the global stage, far from
Washington in the aftermath after
humbling congressional elections.
His final day in India began
with a lavish welcome ceremony
at the majestic palace residence of
Indias president and ended there as
Obama and his wife, Michelle, were
toasted to a state dinner.
The capstone of Obamas
outreach here came when he
announced support for Indias long
push to achieve a permanent place
on the Security Council, the elite
body responsible for maintaining
international peace. It underlined
Obamas contention that the part-
nership between the U.S. and India
could have defining impact on both
countries and the world.
The just and sustainable inter-
national order that America seeks
includes a United Nations that is
efficient, effective, credible and
legitimate, Obama said as he called
for India to be part of a reformed
council.
Yet White House aides acknowl-
edge any changes to the council
could be messy and years in the
making. Attempts to expand the
council have long failed because of
rivalries between countries.
India considered Obamas move
to be an enormous coup regard-
less.
India is part of the so-called
Group of Four, with Germany,
Japan and Brazil, that has been
seeking permanent seats as major
economic and political powers.
U.S. backing for a permanent seat
for India is important, but officials
here must also win support of the
other veto-wielding council mem-
bers, and the General Assembly has
to agree on reform plan.
The five permanent members of
the Security Council are the U.S.,
China, France, the United Kingdom
and Russia. The only other country
the U.S. has endorsed for perma-
nent membership is Japan.
Pakistan criticized Obamas state-
ment, accusing India of blatant
violations of U.N. resolutions and
calling on the U.S. to take a moral
view and not base itself on any
temporary expediency or exigen-
cies of power politics. China has
long objected to Indias proposed
ascension to the council.
The dangerous tensions between
neighboring Pakistan and India
helped frame Obamas trip. Pakistan
is vitally important to Obama bid
to root out terrorists and win the
war in Afghanistan. But India is
deeply suspicious of Pakistan and
demanding a stronger crackdown
on extremist elements within the
countrys borders.
In another key gesture, Obama
went further than he had earlier in
addressing the terror threat inside
Pakistan.
We will continue to insist to
Pakistans leaders that terrorist safe
havens within their borders are
unacceptable, and that the terror-
ists behind the Mumbai attacks be
brought to justice, the president
said. He was referring to the 2008
attacks on the Indian financial hub
that left 166 people dead at the
hands of Pakistani-based extrem-
ists.
Much of any discussion about
India is also seen through the prism
of China both by the White
House and by nations within Asia
that are wary of Chinas growing
might. A higher standing by India is
widely seen as a way to keep power
in balance in Asia, although Obama
is also reaching out to China and
will meet with its president later
this week.
Obama coupled the Security
Council endorsement with an
admonition for India that with
increased power comes increased
responsibility. He said it is lead-
ership, not intervention, when a
country acts to the stop the oppres-
sion of another.
for requirement exceptions.
McEnaney said that students
can expect to spend about 30
minutes in an advising presen-
tation learning how to assess
their degree progress, what steps
to take in their senior year for
graduation, and about common
reasons students dont graduate
on time.
Following the presentation,
there will be an informational
fair with representatives from
the University Career Center, the
KU Bookstore, the KU Alumni
Association, and the Office of
Research and Graduate Studies.
This aspect of the event will help
students in planning for further
education, career opportunities,
and the graduation ceremony.
Gina Gerstner, a senior from
Frankfort, said she would consid-
er going to the event tomorrow.
Everyone wants to know what
they could do after graduation
that would be beneficial to them,
Gerstner said. This event can be
another helpful tool to help fur-
ther career success.

Whenever looking for jobs, stu-
dents sometimes forget to tap an
unlikely source: the University.
Kelsey Sparks, a junior from
Eagan, Minn., and an employee in
the University Career Center, said
jobs are posted and updated daily
to the career center website at jobs.
ku.edu.
In October, 31 jobs were posted
to the website as either student
hourly or student work study jobs.
Students have to apply to be eli-
gible for work study through the
government.
Jobs on the website can be gen-
eral opportunities such as desk jobs
or graders, or more degree specific
within individual departments like
music or business.
Ann Hartley, the associate direc-
tor of the career center, said the
basic need for income and the con-
venience of working on campus
appeal to students.
Usually, they can just get out of
class and go right to work, Hartley
said.
Occasionally though, Hartley
said she gets students who call and
say they want a job where they can
just study.
I always say you know what, no
one is going to pay you to study,
Hartley said.
But working at the University
can be beneficial during breaks and
finals week.
Some departments are more
flexible compared to off cam-
pus jobs that dont work with the
academic calendar year, Hartley
said. Thats not to say students
automatically get those dates off
though.
The career center website typi-
cally has a surge of postings in
August and January as the semes-
ters change and students decide to
leave or stay.
Adam Smith, a junior from
Kansas City, Kan., decided to look
for a job on campus because he
didnt want to have to move back
home for the summer.
Smith found a job as a peer
adviser until his current position
for the academic year opened up
in August. Now, he has a year-long
job in the Advising Center.
The convenience of working in
Strong Hall, Smith said, is great
because his classes in Stauffer-Flint
and Lindley Hall are nearby.
Despite dozens of job postings,
Hartley and Smith acknowledged
that the hiring process is competi-
tive on campus. Hartley said some
postings that only have one posi-
tion available may receive 60 to 70
applications.
Although Smith said the appli-
cation process was long, he said it
was worth the extra work.
I absolutely love my job, Smith
said. It has changed me from want-
ing to go into news and media fore-
cast into wanting to go to graduate
school for higher education.

California police look for
truck-driving murderer
AssociAted Press
RIVERSIDE, Calif. Police
scoured a Southern California
park for clues Monday as they
searched for a truck driver
accused of gunning down an
officer during what should have
been a routine traffic stop.
Authorities said the gunman,
wearing dark clothing, drove
off in the cab of an 18-wheeler
after a shootout with Riverside
Officer Ryan Bonaminio, who
had pulled him over because his
truck was apparently involved in
a hit-and-run accident near a
state highway. The cab did not
have a trailer attached.
Officers found a cab that might
have been the getaway vehicle
Monday, though they were still
trying to confirm that, said
Riverside assistant police chief
Chris Vicino. They were trying to
determine the shooters identity.
Bonaminio, 27, was on patrol
in this Los Angeles suburb late
Sunday when he pulled over
the truck. The driver got out
and Bonaminio chased him into
nearby Fairmount Park. The two
exchanged gunshots and at least
one hit Bonaminio, Lt. Leon
Phillips said.
Backup officers found him
on the ground. The four-year
member of the police depart-
ment and Iraq war veteran died
at a hospital.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
ordered flags flown at half-staff
at the state Capitol in his honor.
Hours after the shooting,
Bonaminios patrol car remained
outside the parks entrance as
a helicopter hovered overhead
and investigators had the area
searched with metal detectors.
Yellow tape and patrol cars
blocked access to the park, which
was to remain sealed well into
Monday afternoon as police con-
tinued looking for witnesses, Lt.
Steve Johnson said.
Officers congregated on the
edge of the park, which hous-
es tennis courts, lakes and play
areas.
Eight members of the Riverside
Treasure Hunters Club helped
them scour the fringe of the park
and a nearby riverbed with metal
detectors, hoping to find a gun.
After a five-hour search, club
members said officers found
shell casings and they unearthed
keys that may have belonged to
Bonaminio, but no weapon.

Runaway train and little time
make for Unstoppable plot
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Teres a train. Its long, with lots
of cars loaded with toxic chemi-
cals. And nobodys driving it as it
hurtles toward heavily populated
parts of Pennsylvania.
And Denzel and Chris Pine are
the only two guys who can chase it
down and stop it.
Tats all there is to Tony Scotts
lightning-fast runaway train thrill-
er, Unstoppable a missile the
size of the Chrysler Building and
a couple of movie stars playing
working class Joes who want to
save the day.
And thats enough. With Scott
shooting and cutting this mini-
malist thriller to an hour and 35
minutes of heavy metal fying at
you and the cool, collected old
timer, Frank (Denzel Washington)
and his distracted trainee Will
(Chris Pine of Star Trek) jump-
ing from one car to another, dodg-
ing hazards at rail crossings, this
race against the clock works. Te
director of the limp Pelham 123
remake takes a second shot at his
railway movie, and this time gets
it right.
Frank has decades of experi-
ence, so todays shufe of cars here
and there along a short stretch of
rail shouldnt be a big deal. But
elsewhere, others with less of a
professional bent have made a
boo-boo. A train got away from
them.
It got away from you? the boss
(Rosario Dawson) cracks. Its a
train, not a chipmunk.
As the coaster picks up speed,
a welder is sent dashing of, by
truck, to track it. Alarms are
sounded. Te BIG boss (Kevin
Dunn) gets grumpy and the ob-
serving Federal inspector (Kevin
Corrigan) drops little pearls of
wisdom about the physics of trains
to Dawsons hard-pressed line su-
pervisor. A train load of school
kids on an excursion is out there.
Towns and then cities are on the
tracks ahead of the coaster.
And its no longer coasting.
Scotts flm touches on the state
of the American workplace (un-
derstafed) and the American
workforce (overworked, facing
layofs). But this is a straight-
ahead ticking clock thriller, with
the usual Tony S. trademarks
punchy dialogue and men doing
what needs to be done. Oh yeah,
and Frank is a proud father of
two Hooters Girls working their
way through college, Will has is-
sues at home. Another Tony Scott
touch.
Its not as breakneck as it might
have been. Tere are plenty of
conventional pauses in the action
while Frank and Will talk about
their lives, their problems. Scott
gets a bit carried away with identi-
fying every single location, overly
concerned with the geography
of this inspired by true events
story.
Washington and Pine have an
easy rapport that makes even the
soap opera elements go by easily.

Lovatos teen stardom
keeps it kid friendly
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES As the
star of the Disney Channel
series Sonny With a Chance,
teen actress Demi Lovato plays
an effervescent small-town
girl who wins a national talent
contest to land a starring role
on a popular variety show. As
the title character, Sonny copes
with a jealous costar, a dearth
of fan mail and the hazards of
celebrity dating, among other
situations only to be encoun-
tered by a budding idol.
One facet the upbeat comedy
for kids is unlikely to explore is
the dark side of teen stardom.
The issue nonetheless came
to the fore last week with a
crisis in Lovatos personal life
that forced her to withdraw
a concert tour with the Jonas
Brothers to seek treatment for
emotional and physical issues.
People close to the 18-year-old
star, who spoke on condition of
anonymity because of the sensi-
tive nature of the matter, say
she struggled with eating disor-
ders and self-mutilation before
her breakthrough role on the
Disney Channel series.
These hazards stand to
become more commonplace
as a growing number of kid-
focused shows put kids front
and center, according to people
who work with young actors.
Unlike years past, when
young hopefuls had limited
opportunities on prime-time
family sitcoms, the media giants
in recent years have created an
entire industry of television net-
works and programs devoted to
the 20 million children ages 8 to
12 who influence $43 billion in
annual spending. That has been
accompanied by a rise in live
action kids shows on chan-
nels such as Disney Channel,
Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network
and newcomer The Hub that
led to demand for child and
teenage actors.
Youre going to see more of
this, said former child actor
Paul Petersen, who heads A
Minor Consideration, a non-
profit group that offers support
for young performers. And
its going to become more and
more obvious.
Petersen isnt the only one
concerned: Demis father,
Patrick Lovato, said that he has
been worried about how his
daughter would cope with the
pressures of being a child star.
But he said he never discussed
his qualms with her mother,
Dianna De La Garza.
I kept those emotions to
myself because Dianna was so
excited, I didnt want to burst
anyones bubble, Patrick Lovato
said.

Bipartisanship is more
than voting similarly
POLiTiCs
Guess what? Your favorite candidate you just voted into office
neither knows nor cares about your positions on issues. Also, your
vote didnt really do anything to decide the election. Your vote only
matters if its the deciding swing vote in an election. Otherwise,
youre just wasting your time.

I absolutely agree. Thank you for stating what I assumed to be the
obvious. And yes, it is a wonderful way to relieve stress. An added
bonus is that it teaches people to be less embarrassed about their
bodies and more comfortable with their sexuality.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
L
ast Tuesday night, afer the
Grand Old Party shellacked
the Democrats, an elated
and emotional John Boehner, the
next speaker of the house, ofered
his interpretation of the message
sent from voters.
At the National Republican
Congressional Committees victory
party in Washington, Boehner said,
Across the country right now, we
are witnessing a repudiation of
Washington, a repudiation of big
government, and a repudiation of
politicians who refuse to listen to
the people.
Teres some truth to this.
Te disconnect between voters
and their elected ofcials has
grown wider over the past few
decades and can be gauged by the
Capitols inefciency.
George Packer of Te New
Yorker recently pointed out how
the Senate, the worlds greatest
deliberative body, a place where
great minds once worked together
through compromise and debate,
has turned into a political standof,
where lawmakers barely know one
another because of their polarizing,
ideological positions and their
constant need to fundraise.
Instead of working together,
Republican and Democratic
lawmakers try to outmaneuver one
another in a never-ending struggle
for power, which is needed to pass
laws nowadays because a simple
majority doesnt work; super-
majorities are required.
Tis has led to a record number
of flibusters and cloture votes that
have nearly paralyzed Capitol Hill.
Over the summer, in testimony
before the Committee on Rules and
Administration, Tomas Mann,
a senior fellow at the Brookings
Institution, said, Te resulting
procedural arms race has served
individual and partisan interests
but has diminished the Senate as
an institution and weakened the
countrys capacity to govern.
Even worse, these incessant
demands draw lawmakers outside
the Capitol, like with dialing for
dollars, which fosters negligence
inside the voting chambers.
Tom Daschle, the former
Democratic leader, said that his
chaotic schedule, micromanaged
down to 15-minute intervals, lef
him lost at times and clueless as
how to vote.
If youre ever pressed, Why did
you vote that way?you just walk
out thinking, Oh, my God, I hope
nobody asks, because I dont have a
clue, he said in Packers article.
An astonishing admission when
you think about it.
In his autobiography, Vice
President Joe Biden wrote
about a diferent era in the 70s.
Democrats and Republicans
actually enjoyed each others
company, he wrote.
Tere was a time when
lawmakers from both sides of
the aisle lived in Washington,
attended the same social gatherings
and even ate lunch together.
Relationships were built that
fostered a bipartisan environment,
Packer wrote.
Yet when triumphant Boehner
said, Te American people are
concerned about the government
takeover of healthcare. I think
it is important for us to lay the
groundwork before we begin to
repeal this monstrosity we know
we are not moving toward a more
efcient government. Going afer
health care is a fruitless endeavor
when the president holds the
power to veto.
Its time we move on; thats what
the people mandated.
Our role as citizens goes beyond
voting. Now, we must watch our
lawmakers work and evaluate
how they work together. Tis will
more than likely mirror our own
conversations. Will we discuss and
listen? Or will we shout and point?

T
he election outcome
in Iowa a week ago,
concluding in the removal
of three state Supreme Court
justices, is disturbing for two
reasons: it undermines the states
judicial system and it reinforces
the very mind set that encourages
bullying LGBT students in
school.
Te vote to remove the
justices came afer a conservative
campaign under the guise of
eradicating activist judges. Te
campaign based this assessment
on the courts unanimous vote
to strike down a state law that
outlawed same-sex marriage.
Te reason why United States
Supreme Court justices can only
be removed by impeachment is
to prevent their decisions from
being afected by politics.
Unfortunately, these judges did
not have the same protection.
Te court found that the state
law violated the equal protection
under the law guaranteed by the
constitution and that the law did
not substantially further any
important government objective,
said Justice Mark S. Cady, who
was not one of the three removed
from the court (New York
Times).
Clearly the court based its
ruling on its interpretation of the
law and the constitution, as it was
supposed to do. Unfortunately,
making a decision on such a
controversial issue meant taking
a risk.
As Erwin Chemerinsky,
the dean of the University of
California, Irvine, School of Law,
said in the New York Times,
What is so disturbing about this
is that it really might cause judges
in the future to be less willing to
protect minorities out of fear that
they might be voted out of ofce.
Also disturbing is this
outcomes implication of the way
our society views homosexuality.
Members of the national
community cannot lobby against
equal rights for LGBT citizens
and then be shocked when
schoolchildren bully their gay
classmates. Teaching kids that
certain people dont belong and
dont deserve all their rights as
citizens gives them ammunition
and encourages discrimination.
Many people will continue
to claim there is a disconnect
between same-sex marriage
rights and the vicious anti-gay
bullying epidemic, but the longer
we hold onto that fallacy, the
longer this distorted mind set will
continue to pervade our country.
As it is, our societys collective
mind set may take some time
to change. But, we should feel
confdent when judges like these
put their own interests aside to
do what they feel is right by the
constitution.

GuesT COLuMn
I
f platitudes are a disease,
American politics is
experiencing an epidemic.
Politicians on both sides of the
aisle are infected, some more
severely than others. And who
can blame them? It seems most
Americans will always get behind
vague, constitutional-sounding
things like personal freedom
and protecting liberty, so why
shouldnt candidates pepper their
speeches with such phrases?
Its not that these concepts arent
important. But trying to back
up every argument with rhetoric
that sounds as if it was lifed
from Patrick Henry trivializes the
ideals that are being invoked and
misinforms the electorate. Tis is
especially true with a subject as
complex as the United States $13
trillion economy.
An acute case of the disease
was on display at Rep. Ron Pauls
speech in the IMU last week.
Te Texas Republican is a rare
politician in many ways. He
actually sticks to his principles, has
delivered thousands of babies, and
believes in a drastic overhaul of the
U.S. economy. Paul wants to end
the Federal Reserve and put the
United States back on a form of the
gold standard. So it is important
for people to understand the
consequences of those plans before
they buy a Paul 2012 bumper
sticker.
Anyone who went to Pauls
speech expecting a coherent
articulation of his economic
positions would have lef
unsatisfed. Beyond his general
talking points, Paul did not discuss
his reasoning very thoroughly.
Te libertarian said Americans
need to know more about Austrian
economics (a heterodox school
of economic thought), but didnt
mention which tenets of the school
he agreed with or why.
He did talk frequently, however,
about eliminating the Federal
Reserve (prompting raucous chants
of End the Fed) and putting the
United States back on the gold
standard.
Paul believes the Fed is the
root of infation. He argues that
in the Feds eforts to stabilize or
stimulate the economy, it actually
ends up making things worse.
He relates this to his common
theme of liberty by saying that
the government is imposing an
implicit tax on everyone, because
infation lowers the value of
everyones money. His solution to
this problem? Abolish the Federal
Reserve and back up the dollar
with gold.
Under the gold standard, every
dollar of U.S. currency would
be backed by gold, meaning you
could redeem a dollar bill for
a set amount of gold whenever
you wanted. Proponents argue
the benefts of the system would
include less severe infation and a
more stable international-exchange
rate.
Paul has stated in past
interviews that he doesnt want
the United States to go back to
the 19th-century version of the
gold standard. Instead, he wants
to make currency redeemable in
gold and silver, known as hard
currency. If the United States
decided to strictly adhere to the
gold standard so that $1 of
currency was redeemable for $1
in gold the total money supply
would shrink by 70 to 80 percent,
Conybeare said.
Hopefully, most of Pauls
supporters understand the policies
they vociferously advocate. His
preferred policies would have a
huge efect on the life of every
American. And it is not a decision
voters should make if they are
basing their opinions solely
on vague pronouncements of
freedom and liberty.

KU staf both Unclassifed

havent received a pay raise in
two years, either. Te issue of
salary freezes is larger than just
faculty.
As Lisa Wolf-Wendel pointed
out, rising costs and static
salaries create a de facto pay
cut. On the whole, staf earn
less than faculty, so we are hit
disproportionally hard by cuts.
Unclassifed staf have been let go
because of budget cuts. Staf and

Salary issues larger
than faculty freeze
BY ANGELIQUE
MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughton@kansan.com
Education officials in Kansas
are attempting to raise the bar
on public university admissions
standards.
The Admissions Task Force,
assembled by the Kansas Board
of Regents, met in Topeka
Wednesday.
The task force, which consists of
chief academic officers and admis-
sions directors, approved recom-
mended changes to the under-
graduate admission requirements
for the six public state universities.
The committee also approved
the deletion of civics as a social
science requirement, added career
and technical education courses to
the electives list, included the math
provisions and changed the stan-
dards for GED graduates, home-
schooled students and those over
21 years old.
The reccomendations will next
go before the Academic Affairs
Committee and the Board of
Regents, likely in December and
January, respectively. The Board of
Regents will make the final deci-
sion.
Today, under our standards if
you have a D and a 21 on your
ACT you can get it, Gary Sherrer
said about state admission into
college.
Sherrer, the chairman of the
Kansas Board of Regents and the
task force, said the changes would
send a message that if you want to
go to a state university, you have to
do more than graduate.
Barbara Romzek, senior vice
provost at the University, said
the hope is that the changes to
admissions requirements will bet-
ter communicate to students what
they need to do in order to be bet-
ter prepared and successful.
Increased graduation and reten-
tion rates is a common theme at
the university this year. One of the
major components of the chang-
es that the committee discussed
extensively before the approval was
the requirement of a 17-unit pre-
college curriculum.
The concern about the current
admission standards is that if a stu-
dent recieves a 21 or higher ACT
score, universities are not aware
what courses the student took in
preparation for his or her post-sec-
ondary education. The committee
believes that lack of preparation
contributes to the high dropout
rate amongst freshman and the low
graduation rates.
The pre-college curriculum
proposal includes changes to the
English, math, social science and
elective requirements. It would
also require either a fourth math-
ematics course in the final year of
high school or three courses with
the requirement that the student
meets ACT standard scores.
Referring to an ACT study, the
committee said that requiring
mathematics in the final year of
high school further improves a
students change of succeeding at
the postsecondary level.
In light of the proposed cur-
riculum, Emporia State University
responded to the proposals in a
statement that said only 130 of its
current students who had ACT
scores of 24 or higher would have
have met the proposed require-
ments.
Resistance toward the curricu-
lum change recommendations
arose because of a lack of data to
support the benefit of the propos-
als and to say that current students
who dont take the curriculum are
unsuccessful.
How will we impact the most
number of kids to prepare them
better, without any data? Ronald
Walker, the superintendent of
Geary County Schools, said.
Pam Robinson, board of edu-
cation member for Blue Valley
Schools, said the math component
of the proposal would cost the
Shawnee Mission school district
alone $500,000.
Advocates for the curriculum
and proposals pushed the weary to
consider the overall benefit and to

Cairo A U.S.-born radical
cleric who belongs to the al-Qaida
ofshoot behind the cargo bomb
plot on the United States told Mus-
lims they are free to kill American
devils at will in a video posted on
extremist websites Monday.
Anwar al-Awlakis vitriolic ser-
mons have inspired several attacks
against the United States, and Ye-
meni ofcials say he may have giv-
en his blessing to the mail bomb
plot even if he did not take an ac-
tive part in it. Te al-Qaida branch
in Yemen, al-Qaida in the Arabian
Peninsula, claimed responsibility
for the foiled bomb plot.
In past messages, al-Awlaki has
justifed killing American civil-
ians as retaliation for the killing of
hundreds of thousands of Muslim
civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan and
elsewhere. But this appeared to be
an escalation, with the 39-year-old
cleric arguing that no rationale
was needed to seek out and kill
Americans.
Dont consult with anybody
in killing the Americans, al-Aw-
laki said in the 23-minute video,
in which he appeared dressed in
a white robe and turban, with a
sheathed dagger tucked into his
waistband.
Fighting the devil does not re-
quire a fatwa, nor consultation nor
prayers seeking divine guidance.
Tey are the party of Satan and
fghting them is the obligation of
the time, he said.
Fatwas are religious rulings on
even the most mundane personal
issues, such as marriage or fnances
and have been issued to allow the
killing of people deemed to have
insulted Islam or to have harmed
Muslims.
In the video, al-Awlaki accused
the United States of pouring mon-
ey into Yemen to encourage Ye-
menis to shun their religion.
Tere is an American policy
presented to the Yemeni govern-
ment, funded by the West, for the
people of this country to alienate
them from their religion, said
al-Awlaki, who was born in New
Mexico of Yemeni parents.
U.S. intelligence has linked Al-
Awlaki to the 9/11 hijackers and
to last years failed Christmas day
bombing of a jetliner over Detroit.
He also has ties to Maj. Nidal Ma-
lik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist
accused of killing 13 people in No-
vember at the Fort Hood, Texas,
military base.
U.S. investigators say that since
he returned to Yemen in 2006,
al-Awlaki has moved beyond just
inspiring militants to becoming an
active operative in al-Qaidas afli-
ate there.
Short excerpts from the al-Aw-
laki video were released on Oct. 23,
two weeks before the mail bombs
were uncovered. But this was the
frst full posting of the video.
U.S. ofcials told Te Associated
Press last week that military aid to
Yemen would double to $250 mil-
lion in 2011 to help the country
fght al-Qaida. Te White House is
seeking greater cooperation on in-
telligence sharing with the Yemeni
government and more opportuni-
ties to train Yemeni counterterror-
ism teams in the afermath of the
failed mail bomb plot, a senior ad-
ministration ofcial said Sunday.
Al-Awlaki also attacked rul-
ers in the Arab world, describing
them as corrupt, and he called on
religious scholars to declare them
non-Muslims for betraying the
Muslim people.
Kings, emirs, and presidents
are now not qualifed to lead the
nation, or even a fock of sheep, he
said. If the leaders are corrupt, the
scholars have the responsibility to
lead the nation.
He added that these leaders
would have to be removed for the
Muslim people to move forward.

Theres one easy way to tell if
Bill Self is unhappy with his team.
If theyre not playing defense,
hes unhappy. Plain and simple. No
excuses. Self is a defensive guru,
and, judging by the response from
his players Monday afternoon, his
team is buying in.
What does Self want to improve
on?
Post defense.
How about junior forward
Markieff Morris?
Get better defensively.
Senior guard Tyrel Reed?
Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor?
Sophomore guard Elijah Johnson?
Defensively, we had a lot of
breakdowns. We want to definitely
improve on that.
Defensive intensity is always
the key for us.
We could tighten up on the
defense.
Saying it is one thing, though.
Doing it is something completely
different. The Jayhawks need, by
their reckoning, to keep teams
from getting
open looks for all
of the 35-second
shot clock, not
just the first 25.
Taylor said that
was a problem in
last weeks 92-62
thumping of
Washburn.
I think we can
play defense, but
I think last week they got a lot of
their shots with under 10 seconds
on the shot clock, he said. Weve
just got to
be solid
through the
whole shot
clock.
R e e d
said those
10 seconds
could make
or break the
J ay hawks
defensively.
I feel like good teams can play
defense for 25 seconds, he said.
Great teams play for 35 sec-
onds. Thats where we want to
be.
The biggest change defensive-
ly is the literal biggest change
defensively. Gone is the tow-
ering 6-foot-11 Cole Aldrich,
who went to Oklahoma City
with the 11th pick in the NBA
draft last summer. Aldrich, who
left with one year of eligibility
remaining, finished his career
two blocks shy of the Kansas
career record.
Looking to fill some of that
void will be Jeff Withey, but
Aldrichs shot-blocking pres-
ence covered all manner of
defensive sins.
I dont think any of our guys
have thought it will be bad that
we dont have Cole down low
anymore. Plus, all guys think
they block shots just as well or
better than the guy before them.
Youd be disappointed if they
didnt feel that way, Self said.
I do think that when Jeff gets
back, that will be a bonus for
us in that particular element,
because, when we do make a
mistake he will be able to cover
better than our other guys.
Morris said the best way to
improve the post defense would be
to own the rebounding battle and
limit opponents second chances.
Its another facet Aldrich will be
missed in, but Morris said the
Jayhawks still want to outrebound
every team by at least 10.
Weve got to block out a lot
more, he said. With Cole here he
would just grab it, you know, over
everybody, but now we need to
block out a lot more and rebound
more as a team.

When coach Turner Gill told his
players to prepare for the biggest
comeback ever during his halftime
speech Saturday against Colorado,
he wasnt just
spewing out
hollow words
to motivate
his 2-6 football
team, down
35-10 at that
point. He actu-
ally believed it.
I thought
the body lan-
guage was
good, he said
during his Monday teleconference.
I just thought there were some key
errors that we could correct in the
second half.
Whatever those errors were, Gill
and his coaches corrected them en
route to the biggest comeback in
KU history.
The offensive woes were shak-
en in the second half, led by big
performances by running back
James Sims and quarterback Quinn
Mecham. Sims ran for 4 touch-
downs and Mecham was a perfect
12-12 in the final 30 minutes. Gill
said he thought about replacing
Mecham, but decided to give him
another shot in the final half.
With a bowl game still nearly
out of the question this season,
Gill believes Saturdays comeback
can be used for motivation the
rest of the year as well as into next
season.
You always find the positives
in every game, and this was a big
positive, he said. For them to be
able to overcome the deficit that
we did, well definitely use this as
much as we can to continue to gain
confidence.
Between the Believe shirts
worn by staff and players and the
constant talk of confidence by
their head coach,
there is no doubt
Gill will remind
his players of
Saturdays come-
back many times
over the course
of the final three
games.
If Kansas finds
itself down 35
points against any
of its remaining
opponents, a comeback wont be
easy: each team left on the schedule
is ranked in the top 25 in the BCS
standings.
The first leg of that journey
begins this Saturday as Gill returns
to Nebraska to face his former team
for the first time as a head coach.
The Cornhuskers are 8-1 and a
near-lock for the Big 12 north title.
The following Saturday brings
the Oklahoma State Cowboys to
town, who are also 8-1 and 10th in
the BCS standings.
After those tough games back-to-
back, The Jayhawks finish off their
season with a trip to Arrowhead
and the 119th edition of the Border
War against the Missouri Tigers,
who are sitting at 7-2 on the year.
With only four combined losses
by those three teams, expecting
another historic upset might be
too much to ask if the Jayhawks get
down early once again.

Jayhawks face tough slate afer historic victory
BY COREY THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
It looks like the Jayhawks have
one redshirt candidate decided.
Coach Bill Self didnt make the
official statement, but it looks like
senior guard Conner Teahan will be
red shirting this season.
It hasnt been decided, but were
definitely leaning towards sitting
him, Self said in a press conference
Monday.
In order for Teahan to remain eli-
gible for red shirting this season, he
wont play tonight against Emporia
State.
If youve followed the team for
a while, this shouldnt come as a
shock.
Teahan made news last fall when
he tried out for the Kansas football
team at quarterback. He ultimately
stuck with basketball. This season,
it looks like he could have seen
some action on the field with all the
quarterback injuries on the football
team.
But on the Jayhawk basketball
team, as does happen with top-10
teams, there arent a lot of minutes
for the taking. Self said part of
the redshirting decision for Teahan
came with the large graduating
class.
Seniors Tyrel Reed, Brady
Morningstar and Mario Little
all started last Tuesday against
Washburn, but they will be gone at
seasons end. And if freshman Josh
Selby and juniors Marcus and/ or
Markieff Morris prove worthy, they
could head to the NBA. Teahan
would be a welcome leader with
most of the upperclassmen gone.
There are a lot of minutes for the
taking in 2011, pending next years
acquisitions. But Teahan could be
taking a lot of those, though his
small sample size of game experi-
ence makes it hard to predict where
that will be.
In three seasons with the
Jayhawks, Teahan hasnt seen more
than a four-minute average of game
time. Last season, he played a total
of 73 minutes in 19 games. His size
and shooting ability could serve
most valuable at the three position.
More importantly, Teahan can
focus on school and his studies
in finance. Last season, Little red-
shirted because it ensured his grad-
uation, which Self said is a top
priority for his athletes.
There is a swarm of debate if and
who another red shirt candidate
could be. The immediate thought is
freshman guard Royce Woolridge.
He is a freshman, so hes eligible
to play in the preseason and still
qualify for a red shirt. But Self
wouldnt give any indication on the
status of Woolridge.
He seems to be in the same posi-
tion as sophomore Elijah Johnson
was this year: odd-guard-out and
has experience going against him.
We wont know his status until
possibly after the first preseason
game. In practice, at least, Woolridge
is doing what is expected of him.
Hes a freshman, Self said. Hes
going through his moments, but
Royce is doing fine.

KU Athletics
Y
ou may not be familiar with the
television show Friday Night
Lights, but you should be for two
reasons. First, its the best sports drama in
the history of television, and that includes
the 1990s hit animated series, Mighty
Ducks.
Second, I am convinced that the 2010
Kansas football team is living out the
storyline of the fourth season of Friday
Night Lights. The similarities are simply
too striking and numerous for there not
to be some cosmic tie between this years
Jayhawks and the fictitious television foot-
ball team.
For starters, the fourth season (which
aired on DirecTVs The 101 Network
last winter) features a high school coach
named Eric Taylor who takes over a brand
new football program at East Dillon High
School. Hes charged with building the
team from scratch, much like Kansas
coach Turner Gills task of rebuilding the
Jayhawks after a disappointing 5-7 in 2009.
Gill attempted to galvanize his team by
removing names from the back of players
jerseys. Coach Taylor motivated his players
by burning his players old jerseys in an old
oil drum in the middle of the field.
Both the Jayhawks and the East Dillon
Lions suffer terrible starts to their seasons.
Kansas lost to Division I-AA North Dakota
State 6-3. The Lions forfeited their first
game at halftime after going down 45-0 to
the South King Rangers in the first half.
Things only got worse
in both teams seasons, as
Kansas continued its Big 12 losing streak
and the Lions lost their next three games,
nearly losing their starting quarterback to
gang-related violence in the process.
Both coaches came under intense scru-
tiny, too. Many Kansas fans voiced their
displeasure with Gill after blowout losses
to Baylor, Kansas State and Texas A&M.
However, he didnt have it as bad as coach
Taylor, who had his front yard vandalized
by white flags and learned that the schools
nerdy science teacher had kissed his wife.
Devastating injuries marked the low
point of the Jayhawks and Lions seasons.
Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb went
down for the Jayhawks with a shoulder
injury against Texas A&M and standout
Lion running back Luke Cafferty suffered
a freak accident on his parents West Texas
farm when a group of cattle rammed him
against a metal fence, giving him a nasty
muscle bruise that led to an addiction to
painkillers.
Then, when the horizon seemed darkest
for both teams, triumph came. Though it
was a game between the two worst teams
in the conference, Kansas mounted a
miraculous comeback against Colorado for
Gills first Big 12 victory. The plucky Lions
also needed a comeback to beat the lowly
Campbell Park Timberwolves for their first
victory.
These eerie similarities mean one thing:
Kansas is destined to beat No. 8 Nebraska
on Saturday. See, the Lions concluded sea-
son four of Friday Night Lights with a
stunning victory at coach Taylors former
team: the West Dillon Panthers, the peren-
nial Texas powerhouse.
Thus, in following the script, Turner Gill
and his band of courageous players will
earn an emotional, last-second victory over
his alma mater, where he also coached as
a graduate assistant for one year. It will be
beautiful and inspiring, and every member
of the team will live happily ever after.
And if not well, theres always season
five.

Oklahoma State climbs in rankings
AssociAted Press
DES MOINES, Iowa The
only thing thats ever been close
to certain in the Big 12 is that,
by the end of November, either
Oklahoma or Texas would
emerge atop the South division.
That tradition might have
been tossed out the window
after another wild weekend in
league play.
The Sooners suffered their
second league loss, this time
to up-and-down Texas A&M.
Texas continued its freefall with
a loss at Kansas State that guar-
anteed its worst season under
coach Mack Brown.
All that chaos helped
Oklahoma State more than any-
one else. The Cowboys (8-1,
4-1 Big 12) pounded upstart
Baylor 55-28 and took control
of its own destiny in the South
in what many thought would be
a rebuilding year.
Oklahoma State and Baylor
(7-3, 4-2), picked to finish fifth
and sixth in the division in the
preseason, now own the top two
spots in the South.
Sooners coach Bob Stoops,
whose team can still reach the
title game if they win out, said
Monday that he isnt taken
aback by the parity.
I always marvel. Everyone
always wants to act like, just
because somethings been this
way for however many years
every year is different, Stoops
said. Some teams are stronger
at different times than others,
but its always going to be that
way. So, to me, it doesnt have to
be surprising.
Oklahoma State is one of
three South schools thats never
reached the Big 12 title game,
along with
the Bears and
Texas Tech.
But if the
C o w b o y s
take care of
business
and thats a
big if with
the Sooners
looming on
Nov. 27
theyll be the first team besides
Oklahoma or Texas to represent
the division in the champion-
ship game since Texas A&M
beat Kansas State in a double-
overtime finale in 1998.
Oklahoma State lost quarter-
back Zac Robinson, dynamic
wide receiver Dez Bryant, four
starting offensive linemen and
nearly its entire defensive back
seven after finishing 9-4 last
year.
But the Cowboys offense has
been humming behind run-
ning back Kendall Hunter, wide
receiver Justin Blackmon and
quarterback Brandon Weeden,
who was named the Big 12s
offensive player of the week
after going 34-of-42 passing for
435 yards both school records
with three touchdowns in a
pasting of the Bears.
Next up is a date in Austin
with the Longhorns (4-5, 2-4),
who have lost three straight
and seemingly hit rock bottom.
Theyll have to try to bounce
back against
the leagues
best scoring
offense, as
Ok l a homa
State is aver-
aging 46.3
points a
game with
new coordi-
nator Dana
Holgorsen at
the helm.
Its a lot like what we had in
05 when we won the national
championship. Theyre scoring
in the 40 points, theyre 550
yards a game, because they can
score in different ways, Brown
said of the Cowboys. They can
beat you in so many different
ways. I think its the best offense
Ive seen in a long time.
Texas Techs win on Saturday
over Missouri (7-2, 3-2) did
more to clear up the North race
than the South.
The 24-17 victory, combined
with Nebraskas 31-30 overtime
escape at Iowa State, gives the
Huskers what amounts to a two-
game lead over Missouri with
three games to play. Nebraska
beat the Tigers 31-17 on Oct.
30.
But it also put Texas Tech
one win from bowl eligibility
heading into Saturdays game
at Oklahoma. The Red Raiders
(5-4, 3-4) gained some much-
needed confidence as well, ral-
lying from a 17-3 deficit and
shutting out Missouri in the
second half.
Each week in this league, its
wide open. So your players have
to understand going into the
game that theyre going to make
some mistakes, but theyve got
to make adjustments as they
go along, Texas Tech coach
Tommy Tuberville said. We
needed something good to hap-
pen for us. Wed played so close
in four of our losses.
The Bears will face Texas
A&M (6-3, 3-2) on Saturday
in a matchup that carries a lot
more weight than many thought
it might back in August.
Both programs have played a
major role in turning the South
upside down this season.
I think theres a little more
parity maybe than it was in
the past. (Baylor) coach (Art)
Briles has done a great job over
there at Baylor, and their pro-
gram is getting better. I hope
our program is getting better
as well and trying to join up
with the top dogs in the confer-
ence, Texas A&M coach Mike
Sherman said. At this point
last year, to say that anybody
could win the Big 12 South,
I dont know if that was the
case.

fred after 1-7 start
IrvING, Texas Less than
10 months after he was given

Wade Phillips is no longer the

For the frst time in team his-

an in-season coaching change
with owner and general manager
Jerry Jones handing the interim
job to their assistant coach Jason
Garrett.
Phillips job security has been
a consistent question even after
winning two NFc east titles in
three seasons but the cowboys
1-7 start forced Jones to do
something he has never done
before and consistently said this
season he would not do.
The cowboys entered 2010
with the hopes of being the frst
team to play in a super Bowl
in its own stadium only to see
dreams of a spot in super Bowl
XLv crash. The only team with a
worse record than the cowboys
is winless Bufalo.
Phillips fnished with a 34-22

Jayhawks walk away with
mixed end-season results
BY MIKE VERNON
mvernon@kansan.com
The Kansas tennis team saw its
final action of the year this week-
end, playing in the San Diego State
Fall Classic.
On Friday, the Jayhawks looked
to come out strong to open the
event. In doubles the duo of fresh-
men Dylan Windom and Paulina
Los notched a big win over a pair
from San Diego State. Also, juniors
Ekaterina Morozova and Erin
Wilbert notched a win over a team
from Washington.
In singles, sophomore Victoria
Khanevskayas hot streak was ended
when she lost to the nations 65th-
ranked player in the country out of
San Diego State. Morozova, sopho-
more Sara Lazarevic, and Windom
all notched wins in their opening
singles matches.
Saturday would prove to be a
tougher day for the Jayhawks, as
they suffered multiple singles and
doubles losses. The doubles team
of Wilbert and Morozova fell to
the Aztecs. In singles, only Los and
Morozova came away with wins.
The win put Los in the finals of her
consolation draw, while Morozova
remains in the main draw.
Windom and Los won their match
over UC Irvine to advance into the
finals of their doubles draw.
Sunday was an important day for
Kansas, as it looked to end its fall
season on a positive note. Morozova
was the only Jayhawk to play in a
singles final. She fell to the No. 51
player in the nation out of SDSU,
6-2, 3-6, 6-4. Windom and Los
lost their doubles final to Loyola
Marymount 8-4.
Morozova and Wilbert picked up
a win in their consolation match on
the day. Khanevskaya, sophomore
Monica Pezzotti, and Los all won
their singles consolation matches.
Los won her consolation draw with
the win.
The Jayhawks will open up play
again in February.

of headlines Butler would make
a season ago. Nobody knew the
abundance of articles analyzing
how North Carolina would tank.
Northern Iowa wasnt on anyones
radar.
Predictions are easy to make in
the preseason and hard to justify
in the postseason, but the 2010-11
NCAA basketball season prom-
ises some interesting stories.
The season tips off Monday, the
start of a long journey to Houston
for four special teams.
Here are some storylines you
can expect to see this season:
Duke wins back-to-back NCAA
Tournaments.
Duke was the favored but
unpopular pick against under-
dog Butler. This season, the Blue
Devils probably will be the unlike-
able villains again when they go
up against Michigan State in the
NCAA Tournament crown, con-
sidering the Spartans have been
unsuccessful in the last two Final
Fours.
But Duke will just shrug, go
about its business and win anoth-
er title.
The Blue Devils have every-
thing it takes to win a champi-
onship: size, defense, shooting,
leadership and experience.
Forward Kyle Singlers decision
to return for a senior season and
the addition of freshman point
guard Kyrie Irving makes them a
complete team _ one thats poised
to win a second-straight NCAA
Tournament.
But Kansas State is hungrier
than any team to win a champi-
onship.
Predictions already forming for
the 2010-2011 NCAA season

Curry scores season high in
Warriors win over Raptors
AssOCIATEd PREss
Stephen Curry scored a season-
high 34 points, Monta Ellis added
28 points and the Golden State
Warriors beat
the Toronto
Raptors 109-
102 Monday
night.
Ellis, the
NBAs lead-
ing scorer, fell
heavily after a
collision under
Torontos bas-
ket late in the
fourth quarter. He remained down
for several minutes before being
helped up and walking slowly to
the locker room. Ellis topped 25
points for the third time in seven
games.
David Lee fouled out with 14
points and 12 rebounds and Andris
Biedrins had eight points and nine
rebounds for the Warriors, who
won their first road game in three
tries.
Golden State has won four
straight and nine of 11 against
Toronto, aver-
aging 113.1
points in those
11 contests.
To r o n t o s
Jarrett Jack
scored a sea-
son-high 24
and Linas
Kleiza added a
season-high 20
points but the
Raptors lost
their fifth in a row.
Amir Johnson and Sonny
Weems each scored 12 points
and Andrea Bargnani had 11 for
Toronto.
Ahead by seven after one quar-
ter, Golden State used a 16-3 run
in the second to go up 55-41 at
the half.
The Warriors led by as many
as 20 points before Torontos
Leandro Barbosa scored on three
straight possessions, cutting it
to 75-66 with 2:48 left in the
third. After a Golden State tim-
eout, Ellis hit a 3-pointer, restor-
ing the double-digit edge. The
Warriors took an 84-72 edge into
the fourth.
Toronto fought back with a
12-0 run in the fourth, cutting it
to 90-86 on an alley-oop dunk by
Johnson with 7:16 left.
Wright ended Golden States
drought with a pair of free
throws and Curry followed with a
3-pointer, but a 3 by Kleiza and a
powerful dunk by Weems made it
99-94 with 3:47 to play. This time,
Ellis converted a three-point play
and Curry drained a 3, keeping
the Raptors at bay.
Ahead by seven after one
quarter, Golden State
used a 16-3 run in the
second to go up 55-41 at
the half.

San Antonio holds
on to win, 95-91
CHArLOTTe, N.C. Manu Gi-
nobili scored 26 points, including
a driving layup with 4.9 seconds
left to end Charlottes late come-
back bid, and the San Antonio
Spurs held on for a 95-91 win on
Monday night to continue the
bobcats early season misery.
Surprising rookie Gary Neal
added 15 points, Tim duncan had
14 points and 10 rebounds and
Tony Parker had 12 points and
eight assists for the Spurs, who
nearly blew a nine-point lead with
under three minutes left before
securing their fourth straight win.
Charlotte, which was 31-10 at
home last season en route to the
franchise frst playof berth, fell to
0-3 on its home foor thanks to 40
percent shooting from the feld.
Tyrus Thomas had 16 points
and eight rebounds of the bench
and Stephen Jackson and boris
diaw had 15 points apiece for the
bobcats, who dropped to 1-6.
The Spurs, who blew a big lead
Saturday before hanging on to
beat Houston in overtime, had
a similar late meltdown before
Ginobili bailed them out.
Thomas dunk and ensuing
missed free throw was rebound-
ed by derrick brown, whose
layup with 26.8 seconds left cut
Charlottes defcit to 93-91.
After a timeout, Ginobili drove
into the paint and his ninth feld
goal gave San Antonio 11 wins in
13 tries against Charlotte.
It wasnt the start owner
Michael Jordan envisioned when
he declared the bobcats should
be better than last seasons 44-38
team that was swept by Orlando
in the frst round.
With coach Larry brown still
trying to fgure out a rotation
after losing raymond Felton and
Tyson Chandler in the ofseason,
the bobcats continued to look
disjointed on ofense.
They also couldnt stop a rela-
tive unknown who might be on
his way to becoming another
Spurs surprising addition.
Neal played at Towson, went
undrafted and spent three sea-
sons in Italy, Spain and Turkey.
He was signed by the Spurs after
playing for their summer-league
team.

CHICAGO Derrick Rose
scored 18 points, including eight
during a furious fourth quarter
rally, to help the Chicago Bulls
beat the Denver Nuggets 94-92 on
Monday night.
Luol Deng added 17 points and
Taj Gibson had 16 points for the
Bulls.
Denver led 80-74 with just
under seven minutes left before
Chicago went on a 16-6 run
sparked by Rose.
Carmelo Anthonys basket with
15.3 seconds left cut the Bulls
lead to 90-88. Joakim Noah hit a
free throw to extend the margin
back to three points. Deng fouled
Anthony, who made two free
throws, to make it a one-point
game with 11 seconds left.
Chicago hit two more free
throws and Aaron Afflalo missed a
3-pointer that would have tied it.
Anthony led Denver with 32
points.
Noah had 13 points and 19
rebounds for Chicago. Hes now
had a double-double in all six of
the Bulls games, the franchises
first player to do that since Artis
Gilmore did it in the first 11 games
of the 1978-79 season. Noah leads
the NBA in double-doubles.
The Nuggets got back center
Nene, who missed three games
with a groin injury. He got off to
a quick start scoring eight points
and grabbing five rebounds in
the first quarter as Denver built a
28-23 lead.
The Bulls and responded in the
second quarter outscoring Denver
27-15 to take a seven-point half-
time lead.
Chicago extended its lead to
10 in the third quarter before
Anthony took over.
He scored 10 of the Nuggets 12
points during a 12-0 run to close
the period. He started the spurt
with a putback and then converted
a three-point play. He followed
that with a 3-pointer before finish-
ing the period with a 20-footer.
J.R. Smiths 3-pointer began the
fourth quarter and pushed the
Nuggets lead to five. C.J. Watsons
jumper finally snapped Denvers
15-point run.
Denver led by as many as six
points in the fourth quarter, but
the Bulls mounted a run midway
through the final period, capped
by Roses driving layup that cut
the lead to 80-78. That forced
Denver coach George Karl to call
a timeout with 6:26 to play in the
game.

Washington athletic director gives
apology for insulting Oregon fans
Mcclatchy-tribune
SEATTLE Washington athletic
director Scott Woodward issued an
apology Monday for comments he
made over the weekend concerning
the University of Oregon.
Woodward first said on his reg-
ular segment on the Washington
football pregame show Saturday
from Eugene that its an embar-
rassment what their academic insti-
tution is, and whats happened to
em as far as their state funding has
gone. In my mind its a wonderful
athletic facility, but theyve watched
it at the expense of the university go
really down.
But the athletic facility is impres-
sive. The fans at Oregon should get
down on their hands and knees at
night to Phil Knight and pray to him
because this is an incredible facility
hes built. Any of the rankings you
look at, you watch how far theyve
(Oregon) dropped because of their
state funding.
And its a message for us, too.
Our state needs to get its act
together because we cant contin-
ue to progress without investment
in our institution. But were doing
extremely well and were very proud
of that fact. Were a part of the whole
University of Washington. Thats
who we are.
He elaborated on those com-
ments to The Seattle Times, saying,
Its embarrassing at the level that
the state supports this once-great
academic university because its
gone way down in academic stand-
ing because of the enormous lack of
support over the decades.
What they have done here ath-
letically is nothing short of a mir-
acle. It is fabulous what they have
invested and how they have done
it. But it is a shame that the whole
enterprise isnt benefiting (from the
athletic success) and thats one thing
that is very much a sense of pride at
the University of Washington, that
our whole enterprise is excellent in
all we do.
Monday, he released a statement
saying: I apologize if my comments
were found as critical or insulting to
fans and alumni of the University of
Oregon, and I hope to offer some
clarity about my true feelings on the
situation.
I have a great respect for the
University of Oregon both as an
institution and an athletic program.
As a lifelong advocate for public
funding in higher education, I
have seen firsthand the effects of
public funding on many institu-
tions, including the University of
Washington.
My remarks were intended as
a commentary on the powerful
impact that a state can have on
an institutions academic standing.
The University of Oregon is a great
example of the struggles which can
accompany a university when state
funding decreases, but UO is cer-
tainly not the only institution suf-
fering.

Orlando Magic continue
reign over Atlanta Hawks
associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. Dwight
Howard had 27 points and 11
rebounds, and the Orlando
Magic continue their recent reign
over the Atlanta Hawks with a
93-89 victory Monday night in a
rematch of last seasons lopsided
Eastern Conference semifinal.
Vince Carter finished with 19
points and made two huge layups
in the final minute-plus to seal
the Magics victory, the 11th in
the last 12 meetings over Atlanta.
Jason Williams also had eight
points and eight rebounds to fill
in for an injured Jameer Nelson.
Joe Johnson had 23 points
and Al Horford scored 16 for the
Hawks, who have lost two games
in two days after winning their
first six this season.
But the rematch of last seasons
playoff series had a decidedly dif-
ferent feel.
Almost every time it seemed
the Hawks would buckle as they
did so often against Orlando last
season they came back. Even
when Josh Powell took a scary
fall in the fourth quarter after
being fouled hard by Howard in a
midair collision, Atlantas backup
power forward refused to leave
the game and tied the score at 72
with free throws.
They just couldnt close it out.
Carter had a running layup
with a little more than a minute
left to put Orlando in front by
four points, but Johnson came
back with a 3-pointer for Atlanta
on the following position.
Carter followed with his most
spectacular and timely play of the
young season. He used a pick-
and-roll with Howard to free him-
self, drove down the lane and
finished with a left-handed layup
as he was fouled by Horford to
give the Magic a 91-87 advantage
and seal the victory. Carter let out
a roar, flexing his muscles and
playing to the crowd.
Quite a familiar feeling for both
teams.
At least this one was close.
Orlando won those four play-
off games by an average of 25.3
points in a total blowout between
teams that finished second and
third in the conference. It was the
most lopsided four-game sweep
in NBA playoff history.
The Hawks certainly made this
one close.
They went ahead by 13 points in
the first quarter, getting Howard
in foul trouble and using a big-
ger lineup to frustrate Orlandos
front line. Atlanta used more of
a motion offense instead of just
isolation plays for Joe Johnson
who had a miserable series against
the Magic last season to follow
a formula that finally seemed like
it would work.
But Orlando came back with
a furious push from some unex-
pected places: Backup center
Marcin Gortat dove for loose balls
and injected some life into the
crowd; J.J. Redick penetrated into
the lane for layups and Vince
Carter found his shot for a pair
of 3-pointers.
The result was a 19-2 run
between the first and second
quarters that gave a the Magic
a 29-25 lead, returning things to
the usual script in this often one-
sided series.

UCLA hammers
NAIAs Westmont
LOS ANGeLeS It was
a good thing the uniforms
read Westmont across the
front instead of, say, Western
Michigan.
even a mid-major divi-
sion I team might have fully
exposed the defensive break-
downs that uCLA sufered
thursday during an exhibi-
tion game against the NAIA
Warriors.
As it was, the bruins
shortcomings were mostly
obscured by a snappy of-
fense that generated plenty
of crowd-pleasing dunks and
layups in a 95-59 victory.
thats not to say the
shoddy defense escaped the
attention of ben Howland,
though. the bruins coach
was particularly vexed by his
teams tendency to get beat
of the dribble.
As you play against better
and better people, Howland
said, if we get beat of the
dribble that easily, well be
in for long days and long
nights.
there were plenty of
theories as to why the
defense struggled. Sopho-
more forward reeves Nelson
said it stemmed from being
lackadaisical when uCLA ran
of to a big lead. Sophomore
forward tyler Honeycutt said
fatigue was a factor, the bru-
ins still working themselves
into game shape.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Zach
Randolph had 23 points and
20 rebounds while Rudy Gay
added 22 points to help the
Memphis Grizzlies defeat the
Phoenix Suns 109-99 on Mon-
day night.
Randolph was 9 of 16 from
the feld and led six Grizzlies in
double fgures. Te points and
rebounds were season highs for
the Memphis forward, and the
ffh 20-20 game in his career.
O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley
scored 16 apiece for the Griz-
zlies, while rookie Xavier Henry
scored 14 points of the bench.
Marc Gasol fnished with 10
points and eight rebounds.
Grant Hill led the Suns with
19 points and Jason Richard-
son fnished with 17. Hakim
Warrick and Steve Nash had 16
points apiece. Nash also had 11
assists.
Me mph i s
led by as many
as 18 early
in the fourth
period, but
Goran Dragic
sparked a ral-
ly and got the
Suns within
97-90, when
he scored on
a layup of a
Memphis turnover with just
over 5 minutes lef.
Te Grizzlies answered with
back-to-back 3-pointers from
Gay and Conley as the Suns
starters waited at the scorers ta-
ble to re-enter the game. Phoe-
nix never threatened the rest of
the way.
Both teams shot well to open
the game,
but Mem-
phis began
mi sf i r i ng,
while the
Suns start-
ers main-
tained a
60 percent
s h o o t -
ing pace
t h r o u g h
much of the
frst quarter.
Despite the early accuracy,
the Suns mishandled the ball
for a handful of early turnovers,
part of a dozen in the frst half.
Meanwhile, Memphis was
struggling from inside, missing
stickbacks and layups.
Randolph already had his
third double-double of the sea-
son by halfime with 17 points
and 10 rebounds, helping Mem-
phis take a 55-52 lead at the
break.
Warrick sparked the Suns of
the bench with 14 points, hit-
ting all fve of his shots in the
half. Hill led the Suns scorers
with 15 in the half.
Memphis opened the second
half on a 17-8 run to stretch the
lead to 72-60, the largest at that
point.
A 10-2 run would pull Phoe-
nix back within striking dis-
tance, but Gay had 13 in the
quarter.
Te Grizzlies would stretch
the margin to 93-75 in the early
stages of the fnal period.

Euler is one of three underclassmen playing

Boswell is the teams top returning rebound-

starter with 14 games started.
Last time out, Boswell had 13 points and 13
rebounds versus Livin the Dream.

Kansas is better than Emporia
State. There are no debates on
that one. Barring some sort of
Kurt-Russell-as-Herb-Brooks-in-
Miracle inspiration from the Em-
poria State coach, the Jayhawks
should post another 30-point
victory. Most, if not all, of the
players on Kansas bench could
be starters at Emporia State, and
that theory will be tested tonight.
Elijah Johnson
The ultra-athletic sophomore
combo guard stands to bear the
brunt of the load should fresh-
man Josh Selby not be cleared
by the NCAA. Hes starting to get
a little more reps with the frst
team in practice, in case Selby is
eventually ruled ineligible. There
was some speculation by media
members that Johnson would
be a redshirt candidate this year,
but that possibility was burned as
soon as he stepped on the foor
against Washburn.
How long will it take for Kan-
sas to put it out of reach? Will it
take a full half? More? Less?
Theres not a question about
whether the Jayhawks should
throttle the Hornets. Its just a
matter of by how much and
when it will be out of reach. If the
Jayhawks oft-stated commitment
to defense shines through tonight,
it will get ugly quick. If Kansas
allows too many easy buckets, the
Hornets will hang around longer
than Kansas fans would like.
I feel like good teams can play
defense for 25 seconds. Great
teams play for 35 seconds. Thats
where we want to be.
Tyrel Reed on the teams half-court defense
Same as everybody else. Just
throw it at whoever. Either jersey,
managers, coaches; it doesnt
make a diference. When we say
pass it they think if it gets out of
their hands its an accomplish-
ment.

STarTErS
Tyshawn Taylor, guard
Taylor is as quick as they come in the Big
12, so its a more-than-safe assumption that
Emporia State hasnt dealt with anyone with his
speed. Taylor stands to beneft more than most
from the Jayhawks more frenetic pace this year,
as the ofense may fnally be catching up to him.
His 12-point, three-assist, no-turnover perfor-
mance a week ago was Exhibit A. Expect Exhibit
B tonight.

Tyrel Reed, guard

Reed, coach Bill Self said, has developed into
far more than a spot up shooter for the Jay-
hawks. Hes developed enough, in my book, to
take the starting spot from fellow local product
Brady Morningstar. The Jayhawks will need btter
than 1-for-5 from three-point range from Reed,
though. Hes the only returning Jayhawk who hit
more than 20 threes last season.

Mario Little, guard

Bill Self has talked more than once about the
matchup problems created by having Little and
Marcus Morris on the foor together, but Little
looked a little rusty last week. Its understand-
able that he wouldnt be in top form, though
he hadnt seen game action in over a year. If he
stays cold, Brady Morningstar could easily fnd
his way into the starting role.

Marcus Morris, forward

Dont expect Marcus to have another 28-point
night. That would be crazy, right? Right?
Maybe not. Marcus shined in his frst look as the
Jayhawks featured scorer, albeit against an obvi-
ously inferior Washburn lineup. If he replicates
his 28-point, 7-rebound night from a week ago,
the Jayhawks could win by 30. Again.

Markief Morris, forward

Markief will no doubt be a starter, and Self
said he will match the leap that Marcus made
last year. He came of the bench last game, but
that was likely a side efect of his hernia surgery
a couple weeks prior. Last week, Markief led
the Jayhawks with eight rebounds and hit a
pair of threes on his way to 12 points. If he
posts that stat line every night, the Morris
twins will be one of the best frontcourts in the
country.

Sixth Man
Brady Morningstar, guard
The elder statesman of the Kansas team has
an established role. The 6-foot-3 ffth-year se-
nior needs to play lockdown defense, distribute
and take care of the ball and hit open threes
when they come to him. Last week, though,
he struggled from outside, missing both of his
three-point attempts and had three turnovers
to two assists, a pace well of his better than
3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio last season.

ALLEN FIELDHoUSE WILL RoCK IF
The Jayhawks show up Tuesday night. If Kansas manages to shoot
better than 20 percent on their threes against Emporia State, last
weeks 30-point scorching of Washburn will look like a nailbiter. Even if
they dont, another big margin of victory is on the docket for Kansas.
PHoG ALLEN WILL RoLL IN HIS GRAVE IF
Kansas doesnt win the rebounding battle by 10 or more. Junior post
Markief Morris said they expect to outrebound every opponent by
10, which means the Hornets should be a victim by more than that.
Prediction:
Kansas 98, Emporia State 54
BiG 12 SChedUle SChedUle
Emporia State defeated
Livin the Dream 99-81 in its frst
exhibition game on Nov. 4. The
Hornets are deep with upper-
classmen: eight seniors and two
juniors. This team should provide
a tough, but manageable match-
up with its experience. The team
is very small, with Holthaus being
the tallest player.
Christian Jackson
Jackson comes to an Emporia
State team that lost its fve top
players in games started, not to
mention its leading scorer, re-
bounder and assist getter. Jackson
is athletic and should provide a
spark for the Hornet ofense.
Does Emporia State have a
chance?
With 10 upperclassmen there
might be a small possibility, but in
all honesty, the upset wont hap-
pen. Emporia State is 0-4 versus
Kansas in exhibition games and
lost the previous match-up 103-58
on Nov. 11, 2008.
The game was wonderful. We
did what coach asked us to do. We
came out and competed

I though we played well, but
we took the easy way out of-
