America: Pop. 300 million
United States Census Bureau expects to achieve milestone mark today
By MArk viErthAlEr
It will happen today about 6:45
a.m.
The 300 millionth American will
be born. Or he or she will cross the
border. The United States Census
Bureau isnt exactly sure how it will
happen, but it is sure its going to
be today.
The bureau has said in recent
weeks it could predict the arrival
of the landmark number based on
three statistics: Someone is born
in the U.S. every seven seconds.
Someone dies every 13 seconds. An
immigrant enters the nation every
31 seconds. Both legal and illegal
immigrants are counted in popula-
tion tallies.
This amounts to a net gain of one
person every 11 seconds.
These three statistics have led
the bureau to predict that number
300 million would appear today. A
population clock can even be seen
on the Web site www.census.gov
racking up the people in real time.
Meredith Kleycamp, assistant
professor of
sociology and
social demog-
rapher, said one
of the hard-
est things for
demographers
to figure out
was whether
landmark popu-
lation numbers
would come
from newborns or immigrants.
Its highly likely its going to
be an illegal or legal immigrant,
Kleycamp said.
Although population is still driv-
en by birth, a large number of those
births are from immigrants to the
United States, Kleycamp said.
The last milestone 200 million
was reached in 1967. Life maga-
zine memorialized the moment by
dubbing Robert Ken Woo Jr. of
Atlanta as the landmark baby. Life
assigned Woo
the title because
he was born at
the exact time
the Census
Bureau had
predicted num-
ber 200 million
would show up.
A recent
study released
by the Center
for Environment and Population
showed the U.S. population had
almost doubled since 1950. The
study also reported that the U.S. was
the worlds third most-populated
country after India and China. The
South and the West Coast are the
fastest-growing regions.
In 2005, Kansas had a reported
population of 2.7 million. The Kansas
population is up almost 22,000 peo-
ple from 2000. The United States
itself increased from about 280 mil-
lion in 2000 to 300 million today.
This means the likelihood of the
300 millionth person either being
born or immigrating into Kansas is
relatively small, Kleycamp said.
She said it was likely by the
400 million mark that Kansas will
become more central to the discus-
sion. As the South and West Coast
fills up, more people will start to
gravitate to the Midwest, she said.
Until then, Kleycamp said, the
biggest population factor affecting
Kansas is the influx of immigrants,
not births.

Seated before a large crowd of
KU students, Amy Laughlin, Sarah
Watts and Julie Cowdin shared the
stories of their personal struggles
with breast cancer.
The event was organized to raise
awareness of breast cancer and to
inform the audience, college stu-
dents in particular, that breast can-
cer could affect anyone, regardless of
age and family medical history. All
of the survivors who spoke Monday
night were diagnosed with cancer
before age 40, including one who
was diagnosed at age 25.
The panel discussion was in the
Burge Union.
Laughlin was diagnosed 10 years
ago, at age 28, while pregnant with
her second child.
Laughlin discovered a lump and
thought it was a peculiar deforma-
tion on her breast. She mentioned
the lump to her gynecologist, assum-
ing it had something to do with
breastfeeding. She was diagnosed
and underwent surgery to remove
the tumor.
The chemotherapy and subse-
quent radiation treatments left her
weak.
For the first six months of my
daughters life I was completely out
of it, Laughlin said.
She completed therapy many
times, thinking she had beaten the

God is a delusion, said one
renowned ethologist and evolution-
ary biologist during a lecture at the
Lied Center Monday night.
You cant disprove God just like
you cant disprove the flying spa-
ghetti monster or fairies, but the
likelihood that intelligent design
exists is low, Richard Dawkins said.
Dawkins, author of The God
Delusion, discussed this subject
as part of the Humanities Lecture
Series and the Difficult Dialogues.
Lines of people extended outside
the Lied Center doors waiting to
listen to Dawkins and included those
who agreed with his convictions and
those who rejected them, but still
wanted to hear his arguments.
A lot of people might not agree
with him, said Leonard Krishtalka,
director of the Biodiversity Institute
and professor of ecology and evolu-
tionary biology.
About one third of the audience
remained seated when Dawkins was
given a standing ovation at the end
of his speech.
The theory of intelligent design
has no evidence of its own, Dawkins
said. It thrives on gaps, which people
attribute to God.
It explains nothing except for
something larger that is in need
of more explanation, Dawkins
said. Lucky chance could never be
enough to explain the lush diversity
of life.
Dawkins said that natural selec-
tion was the only workable solution
for such mysteries. Natural selection
not only explained the whole of life,
but it also raised consciousness, he
said.

44th District
Ballard is the incumbent repre-
sentative. She is also the University
Administrator for the Robert J. Dole
Institute of Politics and a KU fac-
ulty member. She worked on the
Lawrence school board for eight
years.
Davis first attended the University
of Nebraska at Kearney where he
started the schools first College
Republican organization. He is cur-
rently a University of Kansas junior
majoring in political science. He
plans to attend law school at the
University.
Higher Education
Ballard: The problem we have
is that on the federal level, we are
not getting as much financial aid as
we were. There has been some talk
by the Board of Regents that when
students come in as freshmen, their
tuition costs would stay the same. I
would be in favor of that so families
can better plan for college.
Davis: Its the most important
thing we have and my highest prior-
ity. I plan to implement a Welfare
to School program that is designed
to get people into school instead
of working at fast-food restaurants.
When you look and see our wel-
fare program, we are encouraging
people to get a job, but six months
down the road they are looking for
another one. I want them to go back
to school to get educated, get a job
so they can provide for themselves
and not return to the system. I want
them to be able to afford school
through their senior year too.

Deferred Maintenance
Ballard: The Board of Regents has
to develop a plan for deferred main-
tenance and they plan to really talk
about it this year. Several years ago
they submitted a plan for Crumbling
Classrooms. It was a $160 mil-
lion plan we did pass. I believe the
Lawrence campus received $44 mil-
lion from that. Since then, there have
been more and more problems, and
that money still hasnt taken care of
everything. I would vote for it and
talk with other legislators about why
this is important.
Davis: We need to take an active
look at funding deferred mainte-
nance because its just going to add
up and get worse. The state has a
responsibility to do that.
Environment
Ballard: I would be looking at
renewable energy, things you can
recycle, wind energy and how you
conserve energy. If there is an energy
bill out there and it would help
Kansas, yes, I would be in favor of
that. But people need to be educated
too, so they know what they can do
in their homes that doesnt take a lot
of money to implement. Its about
passing bills, but its also practicing
good energy techniques.
Davis: One thing that is great is to
look at things like renewable energy,
simple things that can be done to
save money in the long run. Its
important to provide incentives and
get people to look at those options
because we definitely dont have an
endless supply.
Health Care
Ballard: Most college students are
covered until they are 23 years old
under their parents insurance and
can go to Watkins Health Center
for health care. For students, their
best bet is to stay in school or get
a job that would give them ben-
efits because health care is extremely
important. But your state just cant
cover you unless theres a universal
health care plan. Massachusetts was
the first state to pass a universal plan
and now other states are looking
at how it works. I would like to see
Kansas develop a universal plan, but
Id have to look at details and the
funding.
Davis: One of the important
things I would do for students is to
make sure their families have health
insurance because most policies can
keep them. We need to give families
access to policies.
46th District
Davis is the incumbent repre-
sentative of the 46th district. He
received a Bachelor of Arts degree in
political science from the University
of Kansas. He later received a
Doctorate of Jurisprudence from
Washburn University School of
Law. He currently practices law at
Meyer and Davis L.L.C., 1101 1/2
Massachusetts St. He has been in
office since 2003.
Kirby is a University of Kansas
junior majoring in political science,
who plans to study civil liberties at
the School of Law. He is a member
of the KU Libertarians.
Higher Education
Davis: I think students are faced
with financial concerns that are
overbearing. To decrease tuition,
the state needs to enhance scholar-
ships and loan assistance, but at
the same time we need to give the
University the support that it needs
so we dont have to increase tuition
in the future.
Kirby: The state should provide
more funding for loans and tuition
assistance to get more people in
school. I would like to see the job
market full of educated people who
can contribute to the area. The way
to do that is to cut back on programs.
The cost of prosecuting, housing and
rehabilitating people for possessing
and using marijuana is too much.
They dont come back rehabilitated
and they continue to contribute to
societal ills. People are going to do
it regardless and the taxpayers are
paying for it. Raising taxes is another
way. No one wants to do that and no
ones going to say it. The state doesnt
have the economic leeway because
its not producing anything anymore.
I dont know how to do it, short of
raising taxes.
Deferred Maintenance
Davis: Deferred maintenance is
a serious issue and Id like to see the
legislature come up with a multi-
year plan to address the problem.
Most of it is at the University and its
getting to a point where if we dont
start to devote some dollars to it, its
just going to cost us more money in
the long run.
Kirby: There is $150 million in
damage at the University. One of
the problems is a lack of funding. I
would like to cut back on programs
like the criminalization of marijuana
so the state government can save
money.
Environment
Davis: The most significant envi-
ronmental issue before the state is
the need for a comprehensive energy
plan. Right now we are an importer
of energy because coal plants primar-
ily drive our electricity. Coal comes
from the western part of the country.
We need to set up incentives to shift
dependency from coal to wind. Not
only does it make financial sense,
its good for the environment and
it has great economic potential for
the state.
Kirby: I would vote against any
legislation that would approve the
building of the South Lawrence
Trafficway. I want to protect the wet-
lands, wind energy and economically
viable crops. I would like to imple-
ment programs to conserve energy
like producing our own electricity
through wind turbines. I would also
like to implement developmental
programs to find out what farmers
can plant when. If a crop doesnt
grow well, we pay to subsidize that.
Farmers grow the same crops over
and over, which also creates a soil
deficiency.
Health Care
Davis: Last year, the legislature
did enact some legislation that made
health insurance programs more
available to students, but we have
to be realistic that there are not a
lot of students who are going to take
advantage of that. Students really
fall into a difficult gap in the health
care system. Most students are still
on their parents insurance plans
and some students parents dont
have insurance. Id like to make it
more accessible and affordable for
students parents. The federal gov-
ernment has really been disengaged
in the health insurance debate since
Bush took office and I dont see
that changing in the near future,
so the state needs to become more
engaged.
Kansas needs to explore other
options as to how we can give oppor-
tunities to purchase insurance at an
affordable rate, especially those who
work for small businesses and self-
employed people.
Kirby: There are a lot of options
for students. Student Senate pro-
vides a plan and students can sign
up for insurance with the school.
I dont necessarily believe the gov-
ernment should control health care.
Socialized medicine is inefficient. It
should be left to the hands of private
businesses.

Candidates address issues relevant to students
In an efort to inform students about the general election on Nov. 7, The University Daily Kansan asked state legislators and candidates about issues such as higher education, the
Universitys deferred maintenance, the environment and health care. State legislators are responsible for approving bills and budgets proposed by the governor or its members.
Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence) and Republican challenger Rick Davis, a KU student, are running against one another to represent the 44th District. The 44th District covers west-
central Lawrence. Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) and Libertarian Marcus Kirby, KU junior, are running for the 46th District, which covers an area in north-central Lawrence.
The remaining Lawrence district candidates and ofcials will be featured later this week.

2007 Women of KU Calendar Release Signing
Jayhawk Bookstore - This Wednesday, 2 - 5 p.m.
By Matt EldEr
With the inclement weather of
winter fast approaching, the KU
Cycling Club is preparing to move
its training indoors.
The wet and often snowy weath-
er patterns of Kansas have already
forced members of the team to
use stationary trainers to begin
the offseason training process.
The National Collegiate Cycling
Association, or NCCA, season
begins in the spring.
In the winter its all about time
and miles on the bike, said Christian
Beer, Wunsiedel, Germany, junior
and team vice-president. Near the
end of winter, well incorporate a lot
of anaerobic intervals, sprints and
climbing drills again for the spring
season.
With the riders attention
focused primarily on endurance
training during the winter, station-
ary bikes become a staple. Beer said
the team would hold spin sessions
often at teammates houses or at
Sunflower Outdoor and Bike, 802
Massachusetts St. The spin sessions
typically include only a handful of
members in Beers garage during
the winter, but often 20 team mem-
bers can be found inside Sunflowers
shop where the team trains twice a
week in the winter.
Kathy Kalbac, St. Louis senior
and team president, said the change
in weather played
a large role in her
training. With
weather limita-
tions imposed
more often in
the winter, her
weekly sched-
ule includes an
assortment of
other activities.
In the winter, probably three
days out of the week Id be on the
stationary bike, Kalbac said. Id
probably have a rest day, a cross-
training day with either running
or swimming and a day of weight
lifting.
Both Beer and Kalbac acknowl-
edged the monotony of working out
on a stationary trainer and the need
to find a source of entertainment
when indoors. Beer said that he
and his roommate, who is also on
the team, often relied on DVDs and
music to help the time pass and
ignore your legs that are screaming
at you. A season of Family Guy is
the distraction most often used at
Beers house.
Kalbac also said that she and
other members of the team relied
on the same sorts of entertainment
while maintaining their base miles
indoors. She said members of the
team often
met at Star
Signs and
Graphics, 801
E. Ninth St.,
for spin ses-
sions, where a
large portion
of the team
would watch
KU basket-
ball games while keeping up our
mileage and base fitness level.
For now, Beers garage is over-
flowing with tools and more than
a half dozen bikes and wheel sets.
Training and spin sessions for the
team will begin with the first signs
of winter in the next few weeks.

You usually think of the police
officers or firefighters as the lifesav-
ers, not the dispatchers who send
them. But with medical training,
dispatchers can save seven lives
per one thousand calls, and aid
countless more, estimated Vance
Collins, emergency communica-
tions supervisor and Emergency
Medical Dispatch program man-
ager at Douglas County Emergency
Communications.
In September, Maine became the
20th state to require dispatchers
to have medical training. Kansas
doesnt require it, but the KU
Public Safety Office and Douglas
County Emergecy Communications
have required the training since
November 2004.
We felt it was a necessary service
we needed to provide to citizens,
Collins said. Frankly its become
the national standard of care.
Collins said there could be a law-
suit for agencies that didnt require
medical training for dispatchers.
It is the publics impression
that dispatchers have the training,
Collins said.
He said the training allowed
dispatchers to provide callers with
much better direction and assistance
during a medical emergency.
The KU Public Safety Office
and Douglas County Emergency
Management receive the same medi-
cal dispatch training.
Training consists of an eight-
hour-per-day, three-day certifi-
cation course. Dispatchers are
required to pass an exam at the end
of the medical training.
Dispatchers are recertified once
every two years.
Kevin Mies, communications
supervisor at the KU Public Safety
Office, said the training required
dispatchers to determine the chief
complaint of a caller and respond
using a protocol book of advice for
specific medical emergencies.
He said typical emergencies were
choking, seizures, heart problems,
heat or cold exposure, electrocution
and diabetes-related problems.
The KU Public Safety Office
employs eight dispatchers. Douglas
County Emergency Communications
employs 15 dispatchers and is train-
ing two more.
Collins and Mies both said they
hoped medical training would one
day be required for all dispatchers.
I think it should be and it will,
Mies said.

ers in Douglas County. Kansas is one of 30 states that doesnt require dispatchers to have medical

disease. Months and years later,
however, she would discover that
cancer had returned. In 1999, the
cancer spread to her liver, neces-
sitating further treatment. Laughlin
underwent surgery as recently as last
year to remove a tennis ball-sized
tumor from her liver.
It is pretty much a chronic con-
dition with me, Laughlin said. Its
not a question of if it comes back,
but when.
Sarah Watts, 26, was diagnosed
a year ago. Watts, who has a family
history of breast cancer, immediately
contacted her doctor when she dis-
covered a lump. One in seven people
will be diagnosed with breast cancer
in his or her lifetime.
I had had a feeling I would be
diagnosed, Watts said, emphasiz-
ing that this was not just an old
womans disease.
Maggie Osburn, Lawrence
Memorial Hospital staff and a
member of the Board of Director of
Breast Center Awareness of Douglas
County, said breast cancer had been
diagnosed in patients as young as
17.
Considering that it takes an aver-
age of eight years for a cancerous
growth to become noticeable, a girl
as young as nine years old could
already have the disease, Osburn
said.
The panel was part of the Emily
Taylor Womens Resource Centers
involvement in and promotion of
National Breast Cancer Awareness
Week.

Although the theory of evolution
might seem highly improbable, it
was not impossible, he said. If the
odds of life arising were one billion
to one, Dawkins said it would still
occur on a billion planets.
Hardly anybody is properly taught
what evolution is, he explained in his
speech
To make his point, Dawkins
showed a phony front page news-
paper article that chided that
Storktelligent Design, the theory
of the stork, would soon be taught
alongside pregnancy in Kansas
schools.
After picking on the state,
Dawkins said that he sympathized
with Kansas science teachers.
I know that you here are in the
front line trench against powerful
forces of darkness, he said. I salute
you. I sympathize with you. Fight the
good fight.

TOPEKA Republican incum-
bent Phill Kline made a former
employees 15-year-old allegations
of harassment against Democratic
challenger Paul Morrison an issue
Monday in the attorney generals
race, prompting Morrisons wife to
say Kline has just gone too far.
Morrison paid no damages in two
federal lawsuits filed by a woman
who worked for him as Johnson
County district attorney and claimed
he made a drunken sexual advance
at her during a 1990 office gathering
at a bar.
The first case went to trial in July
1992, but a judge dismissed it before
the trial ended. Eight months later,
the parties agreed to the dismissal of
the other lawsuit.
Kline and Ron Freeman, the
state GOPs executive director, said
the lawsuits are a legitimate issue
because Morrison has said theres
been no hint of scandal associated
with his 18-year tenure as district
attorney. Also, Kline said, Morrison
has criticized him unfairly for hir-
ing a nephew who had two criminal
offenses in his recent past.
The two Republicans had a news
conference outside the Topeka zoo.
At the Topeka zoo, we have no
weasels, and we believe we dont
need a weasel in the AGs office in
Kansas, Freeman said.
Kline first mentioned the lawsuits
against Morrison in a debate last
week, and he told reporters Monday
that hed known about the cases
for some time but was reluctant to
talk about it. On Monday, his staff
had copies of documents ready for
reporters.
Theres a mean-spirited, decep-
tive campaign trying to fool the vot-
ers of Kansas with his constant false-
hoods about the record, Kline said.
Morrisons wife had her own news
conference outside the zoo imme-
diately after Klines, describing his
comments as a malicious attack on
the integrity of our marriage.
Shortly after her remarks,
Morrisons campaign issued a state-
ment saying a new poll showed the
Democrat with a lead.
Its disgusting that Phill Kline
would say such things knowing
theyre not true and that theyre
incredibly hurtful to Paul and his
family, said Morrison campaign
manager Mark Simpson.

Well, my fellow Jayhawks, the
2006 midterm elections are fast
approaching, and if you havent reg-
istered to vote then run, dont walk,
to the library, post office or county
treasurers office today and get it
done. This election might just prove
to be a pivotal point in American
history.
Now, let me make myself
clear: I am not a Democrat. This
November, however, I will be vot-
ing for every Democratic candidate
who happens to be on my ballot. It
will be a vote not as much for who I
want, but definitely a vote for who I
dont want. Washington, D.C., needs
an enema, people. Republican con-
trol of the House and Senate must
be broken up, and the Democrats
must move to impeach President
Bush if given the majority.
For those of you who think that
the midterm elections couldnt
possibly mean so much, wise up.
Back in 1994, the Republican Party
seized control of the federal House
and Senate for the first time since
1954. Republicans led by their
minority whip, Newt Gingrich, took
center stage and declared that they
would clean up the swamp that
Washington, D.C., had become by
restoring morality to the halls of
government.
Once Republicans had control
of Congress, they moved against
President Clinton. Three years
later President Clinton became just
the second president ever to be
impeached. The grand old do as I
say, not as I do party, who declared
that they would restore morals to
the halls of government, chose to
drag the entire country into the gut-
ter with their investigation of sperm
stains on blue dresses and strange
places for President Clinton to store
his cigars. As for the man leading
the charge against Clinton, Time
magazines 1995 Man of the Year,
Newt Gingrich, while he was cru-
cifying the President of the United
States for an extra-marital affair, he
too was carrying on an affair with
one of his own aids twenty-three
years his younger.
The grounds for impeaching
President Clinton were ridiculous
and, looking back on it, the actions
of the Republicans should have been
a glaring indication of their hypoc-
risy. The Republican-controlled
Congress has failed in its attempt, if
it ever truly was an attempt, to clean
up Washington.
Corruption is as rife as ever
in the capital city. It is something
Democratic congressmen are just
as guilty of, and there is no guar-
antee that the corruption will stop
if the Republicans lose control of
Congress. Without a doubt, though,
the main reason the American
people must beat the Republicans
back into the minority of Congress
is because they have been the
enablers to a man who sits in our
Oval Office and believes that he is
above the law.
Some political analysts believe
that if the Democrats take con-
trol of the House and Senate
that the impeachment process
against President Bush will begin.
Republicans like to wrap the word
perjury around their justification
for the impeachment of Clinton,
but the bottom line is that the presi-
dential impeachment of 1998 was
a joke that came at the expense of
nearly $41 million to the American
taxpayers.
The grounds for the impeach-
ment of President Bush are no joke.
He has lied to the American people
in order to send us into a war that
has resulted in the deaths of almost
3,000 U.S. servicemen and women,
and 600,000 Iraqis. He has signed
off on illegal wiretaps of U.S. citi-
zens and tried to hide it. Members
of his administration leaked the
identity of an active CIA opera-
tive as an act of spite when it was
revealed that the Bush administra-
tion was fabricating evidence to
lead us to war in Iraq. All the while
President Bush has pointed fingers,
bullied anyone in government or
the news media who was brave
enough to question his administra-
tion, and continually shoved the
tragedy of 9/11 in our faces as jus-
tification for his blatant disregard
for the Constitution of the United
States of America.
The Republican-controlled
House and Senate have stood idle
for too long. They have given too
much control to the man who has
dubbed himself the Decider, and
its time to stop the bleeding. You
get rid of the Republican-controlled
House and Senate and you effective-
ly neuter the Bush administration.
I dont care if the impeachment
process lasts two years and in his
last week in office President Bush is
forced to stand trial for his abuse of
the laws of this country.
I hope that the political analysts
are not wrong, and the Democrats
will for the first time in five years
show they have something other
than a jelly spine. Im all set to do
my part; come that first Tuesday in
November, I will step in that booth
and cast my vote, my prayer, for
the impeachment of George Walker
Bush. I hope that the Democrats
wont let me down.

Every student at some point has
had a bad professor. I have a few
suggestions that professors and
teachers assistants can follow in
order to keep their students happy
and active in the classroom.
Of course I realize that we as
students are not perfect beings, but
some of the things can be addressed
on the part of the teachers.
1. There is a problem with the
professor who on the first day of
class says, I know nobody wants
to take this class because it is a
prerequisite, but I will try to make
it as easy as possible. Students will
immediately lose confidence in your
ability to make the course interest-
ing. Many times there are students
who didnt come into the classroom
thinking that it would be a tough or
scary course, but they sure do once
youve said it.
2. This is to anyone who is
teaching and tries to make assign-
ments that the kids will think
are cool. Giving assignments that
involve MySpace or The Daily Show
just show your age and inability
to communicate with our genera-
tion. Teach the way you know the
best, not the way you think will be
trendy.
3. To the teachers assistants who
have just received their undergradu-
ate degree or who are in their first
two years of grad school: You do
not know everything about your
field just yet. You are not an expert.
Please dont act like it. We will
see right through your frivolous
answers to our questions. We know
when they have not been thorough-
ly answered.
4. Nobody likes teachers who
cannot accept anything but their
own opinion. Dont get me wrong,
I know the importance of strong
and logical arguments. But there
are other perspectives out there that
should be respected as long as they
follow these rules. Flunking some-
one because they dont agree with
you is intellectually hypocritical.
5. This one should be obvious,
but it happens more often than you
would think. Dont have favorites.
If you call on the same three people
all the time and praise only their
work, students will stop making an
effort in your class. Everyone must
be equally involved.
6. Teachers who are in the class-
room to show off their knowledge
base, rather than teach the students,
should not be teachers, period.
Unfortunately for some teachers,
the idea that students are in a class-
room to learn is a foreign concept.
Students are seen as an audience for
theatrics instead of as learners.
7. If you are a grad student and
think teaching will be an easy way
to make money, please reconsider.
We need people who are passionate
about what they are teaching and
who have the time to meet their
students needs.
8. A common complaint among
students is about the teachers who
go through material too quickly.
This happens especially frequently
in large lecture halls. Professors
are zooming along and nobody has
time to take notes or ask questions.
If you pay attention to these factors
and slow down, students will per-
form much better in your class.
9. Finally, try to make the mate-
rial you are teaching interesting.
This can be especially challeng-
ing depending on the subject, but
real-world applications are always
a good way to make students feel
they are at least getting something
useful out of your course. Act like
you care, and dont simply read and
lecture out of the course texts.

Large apartment fires would
become less common in new
apartment buildings if the city
adopted a new fire code ordi-
nance.
As reported in The University
Daily Kansan, members of the
Fire Code Board of Appeals are
working on an ordinance that
would require the installation
of sprinklers in all apartment
buildings built after its passage
but only if the Lawrence
City Commission approves the
ordinance.
The ordinance conforms to
provisions required in the 2006
International Fire Code, a set of
standards for sprinklers and other
fire safety measures in buildings.
Russell Brickell, Lawrence fire
inspector, said he hopes to have
the final version of the ordinance
completed by January 1, 2007.
Before Lawrence residents can
be safer, the City Commission
must approve the ordinance,
which will invite resistance
among builders looking to avert
extra building costs.
But the lives the ordinance
would save justify the cost
increase. Sprinklers decrease the
number of apartment fires by 93
percent and civilian deaths by 81
percent, according to a decade-
long study by the National Fire
Protection Association.
The ordinance would also
require new three-level apart-
ment buildings to have two exits,
such as extra doors and exterior
stairwells. The ordinance would
close fire code loopholes for new
2 1/2-story buildings by requir-
ing sprinklers and two exits.
Existing multi-level apartment
buildings, such as the Boardwalk
Apartments, would be exempt
from the regulations.
No apartment building that
presents a threat to its tenants
safety should ever be built again.
By approving the ordinance, the
City Commission could prevent
horrific tragedies in new apart-
ment buildings.

Bill Murray does dishes,
celebrates with fans
LONDON Bill Murray created
a small sensation in the Scottish
town of St. Andrews, joining Scan-
dinavian students at a late-night
party and even helping to wash
the dishes, a newspaper reported
Sunday.
In the movie Lost in Translation,
Murray plays a lonely middle-aged
actor in Japan who befriends a
young American woman and goes
partying with her.
And in what The Sunday Tele-
graph said was life imitating art,
the 56-year-old Murray joined up
with 22-year-old Norwegian stu-
dent Lykke Stavnef, who took him
to a house where a student party
was in full swing.
Nobody could believe it when
I arrived at the party with Bill Mur-
ray, Stavnef, a social anthropology
student, was quoted as saying. He
was just like the character in Lost
in Translation.
The newspaper reported that
Murray met Stavnef at a bar where
he was drinking with fellow golf-
ers after playing in the Oct. 5 to 8
Alfred Dunhill Links Championship
in St. Andrews with other actors.
To Stavnefs surprise, Murray ac-
cepted her invitation to a party and
accompanied her and her friend to
a party, the newspaper said.
She said she was frst concerned
when the apartment had no clean
glasses left, but that Murray was
happy to drink vodka from a cofee
cup and also helped wash dishes in
the cramped kitchen.
The Sunday Telegraph article was
accompanied by a photograph that
appears to show Murray, dressed in
a checkered shirt and a brown vest,
washing a metal pot at the sink.
As news spread around the city
that Murray had turned up at the
student party, the house became
crowded with people wanting to
meet the star of Ghostbusters, the
article said.
He was joking with me about
reheating some leftover pasta and
how drunk everyone was, said
partygoer Agnes Huitfeldt, 22.

said after arriving Saturday, to
meet people, hear their stories and
educate myself, and I suppose be a
voice for you if you need it.
The actress was named goodwill
ambassador of the U.N. Develop-
ment Fund for Women, or UNIFEM,
in January and the tour of Kosovo
is her frst visit in that role.
Kidmans two-day visit comes at
a sensitive time as ethnic Albanians
and Serbs are negotiating the
status of Kosovo. Ethnic Albanians
want full independence for the
province of 2 million, while Serbia
insists Kosovo should remain under
its sovereignty.
Kosovo formally remains part
of Serbia but has been run by a
U.N. mission since mid-1999, when
NATO forced Serb forces to halt a
crackdown on independence-seek-
ing ethnic Albanians.

GLENDALE, Ariz. Even on a
very bad night, the Chicago Bears
found a way to stay unbeaten.
They can thank their defense, punt
returner Devin Hester and Arizona
kicker Neil Rackers for that.
Chicago, down 20-0 at the half,
returned two fumbles for touch-
downs, then Devin Hester returned
a punt 83 yards for a touchdown
with 2:58 remaining and the Bears
(6-0) overcame six turnovers by Rex
Grossman to beat the Cardinals 24-
23 Monday night.
Rackers, who connected from 41,
28 and 29 yards, missed a 41-yarder
to the left with 53 seconds left for
what would have been the game
winner for Arizona (1-5).
After Grossman threw his fourth
interception, the Cardinals were
trying to use up time. But Brian
Urlacher stripped the ball from
Edgerrin James and Charles Tillman
scooped it up for a 40-yard return to
cut Arizonas lead to 23-17 with five
minutes left.
On their next possession, the
Cardinals were forced to punt.
Hester caught the ball, broke a few
arm tackles and sprinted upfield,
scoring his second punt return for
a touchdown this season and giving
Chicago the lead for the first time
all night.
Rookie quarterback Matt Leinart,
making his second NFL start,
threw for two first-quarter touch-
downs while the Cardinals shook up
Grossman.
The Bears QB lost two fumbles,
was intercepted four times and
struggled to hit receivers when he
did manage to get the ball cleanly
away, going 14-for-37 for 148 yards.

After losing five straight matches,
the Kansas volleyball team salvaged
its postseason hopes when it defeated
in-state rival Kansas State and Baylor
last week at home, jumping three
spots in the Big 12 standings up to
eighth.
Winning does amazing things,
coach Ray Bechard said. Sometimes
you think youll never lose again and
sometimes you think youll never
win again.
The Jayhawks (10-9, 3-7 Big 12)
were thinking theyd never win again
until last Wednesday, when they beat
the Wildcats in a four-game match.
The momentum carried over to
Saturday when they swept the Baylor
Bears.
The losing streak lasted three long
weeks for the Jayhawks. But it was
nothing new to a team that went
through similar stretches before
making runs to the NCAA tourna-
ment last year.
In 2005, the team went on an
eight-game losing streak before mak-
ing it to the NCAA tournament. In
2004, the team had a five-game los-
ing streak before finding a way back
into the tournament.
This season, in the midst of the
slump, Bechard relied on the veterans
to keep morale
up. Seniors Jana
Correa and
Megan Hill and
junior Emily
Brown kept the
team motivated.
They were
all good volley-
ball players at the
high-school level
and they prob-
ably arent used
to losing, Brown, right-side hit-
ter, said. I told them you have to
stay positive. If you stay down, your
whole season is going to snowball
down. But if you stay positive and
get a win here or there it will turn
right back around.
It appears for now the tide
has turned back in Kansas favor.
Correa, after suffering a season-
ending knee injury last season, has
become the leader on the court. She
not only continues to lead the offense
in kills, but is also improving her
defense.
After all the situations Ive been
through, like the knee surgery, Im
trying to help the team in other
ways, she said. Im helping in dig-
ging and block-
ing instead of
just hitting.
Correa, an
outside hitter, is
determined to
go to the tour-
nament all four
years she is with
the team. Before
she arrived in
2003, Kansas
had never been
to an NCAA tournament.
Correa said she told the younger
players to believe during the los-
ing streak because she knew it was
possible to get back in for the post-
season.
Although the two victories
boosted confidence, the postseason
dreams are still just that: dreams.
Traditionally, the top-six teams in
the Big 12 are locks to make the
NCAA tournament. Last season,
Kansas received a generous bid after
the team finished eighth in the con-
ference, but that rarely happens.
Correa said that if the team con-
tinued to play well, it could finish in
the top five or six in conference.
The Jayhawks are beginning what
they call the second half of their
season. After playing the first round
of conference teams, they will begin
the second round Saturday at Texas
A&M. The Jayhawks defeated the
Aggies at home in a five-game match
earlier this season.
Two of the Jayhawks next three
matches are at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center, where they are 6-3
this season. Kansas plays at Texas
A&M (9-8, 2-7) Saturday, then
Oklahoma (16-3, 8-1) and Texas
Tech (10-8, 3-6) come to Lawrence.
I think we are gelling right now,
Hill, outside hitter, said. We were
standoffish at first, but now, we are
like, Bring on the teams because
were ready to play.

What do you know about the u?
Between 5% and 20% of Americans are affected by the u each year*
An average of 36,000 Americans die from the u each year*
Flu, medically known as inuenza, is a viral infection with symptoms that
include headache, muscle aches, chills, fever, cough, sore throat,
appetite loss and fatigue
The u is often transmitted by inhaling droplets in the air that are infected
with the virus, or by handling items that have been contaminated by an
infected person
*Source: Centers for Disease Control

Unanimous votes have
Kansas leading Big 12 poll
The votes have been tallied
and Kansas is the unanimous No.
1 choice in the Big 12 Preseason
Coaches Poll.
The Jayhawks received the
maximum 11 frst-place votes in
the poll for the 2006-07 season.
The poll results come as no
surprise because Kansas returns
every key player from last years
team, which tied for the Big 12
regular season championship and
won the conference tournament,
and added McDonalds All-Ameri-
cans Sherron Collins and Darrell
Arthur.
The Jayhawks are led by
sophomores Brandon Rush and
Julian Wright, who were named
Co-Preseason All-Big 12 Players of
the Year by conference coaches.
Because coaches arent
allowed to vote for their own
teams, Texas A&M received the
remaining frst place vote and
was picked to fnish second in the
conference. This is the highest
preseason placement in school
history for the Aggies, who return
four starters and their top six
scorers from last season.

When a compliance staffer told
Bohl the department needed more
workers, Bohl allegedly respond-
ed with his now-famous remark,
which is included in the infractions
committees report: Compliance
doesnt sell tickets.
Why was the womens basket-
ball program punished more
severely than mens basketball?
Rick Evrard, the Universitys
counsel on matters relating to
NCAA rules violations, said it was
a matter of timing.
When Kansas submitted its
report to the NCAA in June 2005,
its investigation had revealed eight
possible violations by the womens
basketball program and Kansas had
still not learned about the viola-
tions in mens basketball committed
by booster Don Davis, who provid-
ed impermissible gifts to both KU
junior Darnell Jackson and former
player J.R. Giddens.
Also leading to the self-imposed
penalty on the womens program
was the fact that Marian Washington
and her assistants, who are no lon-
ger with the University, declined to
be interviewed about the infrac-
tions so the Athletics Department
chose to place the program on pro-
bation,
We said, Were going to take the
high road here and were going to
conclude that violations occurred,
Evrard said.
Who decided what the punish-
ment would be?
The punishment was handed
down by the NCAA Committee on
Infractions, an eight-person com-
mittee of college administrators and
law professors. Gene March, chair-
man of the board, is a law professor
at the University of Alabama.
How does this affect recruiting
for the football team?
The committee accepted Kansas
self-imposed punishment of accept-
ing only three junior-college play-
ers in both 2006 and 2007. The
committees additional sanctions
prohibit the team from using more
than 22 scholarships in both 2007
and 2008, taking away three schol-
arships both years from the 25 that
are usually allowed.
The NCAAs penalty should
not affect Kansas coach Mark
Manginos recruiting efforts drasti-
cally, because with Mangino, the
team has used an average of 21.4
of the available 25 scholarships for
incoming players each year.
Even though the reduction in
scholarships is a serious matter, its
not a fatal matter, Mangino said.

NCLS Game Five postponed
New York, St. Louis pitchers get extra day of rest; coaches fear muddy field
by MIke fItZPatRICk
assoCIated PRess
ST. LOUIS So much for all
the scrutiny about pitching on short
rest.
Day-long rain caused Game 5 of
the NL championship series between
New York and St. Louis to be post-
poned Monday night, meaning Mets
lefty Tom Glavine and Jeff Weaver
of the Cardinals will start Tuesday
night on full rest.
The teams are tied at two games
each in the best-of-seven playoff.
Game 5 was rescheduled for 8:19
p.m. EDT at Busch Stadium.
For the second time in the NLCS,
the clubs will travel without a day
off. Theyll play Game 6 at Shea
Stadium in New York on Wednesday
night, as scheduled.
Glavine and Weaver both had
been slated to start Monday night
on three days rest after rain pushed
back the series opener by one day
last week.
Now, another washout eliminated
the need for that.
Its certainly not a bad thing, said
Glavine, who has tossed 13 scoreless
innings in two playoff starts. Its just
something in this day and age were
not conditioned to do.
St. Louis manager Tony La Russa
played down the issue of regular
rest, saying Weaver and Glavine both
knew the task at hand all along and
had been preparing for it since Game
1. La Russa thought a bigger concern
Monday was the drenched field.
I think both guys have been
gearing themselves to go, so they are
ready. I think the position players
would have had to deal with the ele-
ments, he said. It would be danger-
ous and a lot to ask.
St. Louis ace Chris Carpenter is
slated to start Game 6 against rookie
John Maine. Both will be on full rest,
as well.
Glavine threw seven shutout
innings of four-hit ball last Thursday
night, beating Weaver 2-0 on Carlos
Beltrans two-run homer.
Im turning into the rain man
this series, Glavine said. Hopefully,
the results will be as good as they
were the last time we got rained
out.
After consecutive victories by St.
Louis, the Mets evened the series by
winning 12-5 Sunday night.
They got several big hits from
Carlos Delgado and Beltran, and
a respectable start by erratic lefty
Oliver Perez.
Now, the second rainout of the
series gives Cardinals slugger Albert
Pujols a chance to rest his sore right
hamstring, and St. Louis young bull-
pen gets a day to recover from Game
4.
Five relievers were tagged for 10
runs _ nine earned _ and 11 hits over
five innings Sunday night.
Maybe thats one reason man-
ager Willie Randolph and a few
other Mets sounded a little disap-
pointed about not playing Monday,
even though it put the 40-year-old
Glavine back on regular rest.
Its good for Glav, but also it
helps out their bullpen. We got in
their bullpen last night, they threw
a lot of pitches, so it gives their
bullpen an extra day. A pretty even
matchup, New Yorks David Wright
said. Youre prepared to play, even
when you wake up in the morning
and its raining, and you come to the
park and youre ready to go, so its
kind of a mental letdown.
In the end, does the washout favor
either team?
Ill tell you in nine innings,
Cardinals outfielder Preston Wilson
said. Im not smart enough to know
all of that. All I know is weve got an
extra day off.
Glavine is 8-6 with a 3.53 ERA
in 25 regular-season starts on short
rest, but only 2-5 with a 6.75 ERA
in seven postseason starts without
full rest.
The loose and lanky Weaver, 30,
has never started on three days rest
in his major league career.
The Mets did get good news
about their injury-depleted pitching
staff, though.
Orlando Hernandez, who has
missed the entire postseason thus
far because of a torn muscle in his
right calf, threw 72 pitches in an
encouraging bullpen session Sunday
and could return in time for the
World Series if New York gets past
the Cardinals.
Now I can dance, a cheerful El
Duque said. I threw every pitch. I
think Im ready for next week.
Mets starter Steve Trachsel,
knocked out of Game 3 in the sec-
ond inning with a bruised thigh after
getting hit by Wilsons hard come-
backer, was feeling better, too.

Kansas has work to do before Baylor
Amanda sellers/KANsAN
oklahoma states Adarius Bowman exploits the Kansas defense as he runs to make a touchdown during Saturdays game. Mangino blamed the loss on a complete defensive breakdown but said he plans to correct the problems
by next weekends game.
By ryAn schnEidEr
After watching tape Sunday of his
defense getting torched for more than 400
passing yards during this weekends loss,
Mark Mangino saw problems with more
than just the secondary.
This loss was a total defensive collapse.
Kansas football coach said linebackers
misreading patterns and an inconsistent
pass rush contributed to the poor play of
the secondary.
To blame the secondary would not be
accurate, Mangino said during Mondays
Big 12 Conference Football Coaches
Teleconference. Its an 11-man situation
that we have to get corrected.
The defense needs to fix its problem
quickly. One of the nations best passing
offenses awaits as the next challenge for
Kansas struggling defense on Saturday.
Baylor, which switched to an offense
this season similar to the one run by
Texas Tech, has one of the best passing
offenses in the country. The Bears pass-
ing offense ranks 10th in the nation,
averaging 285 yards per game. Baylor
threw for 320 yards Saturday against the
Longhorns, whose defense ranks 11th in
the nation.
By comparison, Kansas pass defense
ranks 117th out of 119 Division I-A
teams, giving up an average of 281 yards
per game.
Mangino said having the defense watch
tape of its second-half performance against
Oklahoma State was a good learning expe-
rience. Pass defense, which includes more
than just the secondary, will be a major
focus throughout the week in practice.
Pressure on the quarterback is an area
that Mangino said was average but needed
to be improved. Oklahoma State quarter-
back Bobby Reid was able to stand in the
pocket and find open receivers, namely
Adarius Bowman.
In the variation of the spread offense
that Baylor runs, getting to the quarter-
back quickly will be the key to stopping
the passing attack. Without pressure, the
quarterback is able to stand back and wait
for a defensive back to make a mistake
and then exploit it with a pass.
Mangino said the mistakes his team
made against Oklahoma State could
be corrected in time for this weekends
game.
The key is to identify what the
problems are and get them corrected,
Mangino said.

Questions answered regarding Kansas infractions
By c.J. MoorE
Editors note: Sports Administration
reporter C.J. Moore answers ques-
tions about the NCAA Committee on
Infractionss report for Kansas.

What does being on probation
mean?
Because the University has been
placed on probation with the NCAA
Committee on Infractions, the
Athletics Department is subject to
a repeat violators provision. This
provision found in the NCAA
rulebook opens the door for stiff-
er penalties to be assessed if the
University commits more violations
in the next five years.
Over the next five years we have
to be especially careful and especial-
ly vigilant, associate athletics direc-
tor Jim Marchiony said.
During the three-year probation
placed on Kansas by the NCAA,
the school is required to do the fol-
lowing:
Develop and implement an educa-
tional program about NCAA legisla-
tion for its coaches and all Athletics
Department personnel
Submit a preliminary report to the
infractions committee by Dec. 15 of
this year, establishing a schedule for
how the Athletics Department plans
to implement its compliance and
educational programs
Submit annual reports to the
infractions committee by Aug. 15
during the next three years, describ-
ing the progress that has been made
in compliance and the educational
programs; the report must also detail
the tracking of recruits who come
to campus prior to enrolling and
document the Universitys compli-
ance with the other penalties that
were assessed in mens basketball
and football.
Kansas must submit a letter at the
end of its probation to the com-
mittee verifying that the Athletics
Department followed NCAA regula-
tions.
But more than anything,
Marchiony said, being on proba-
tion was a public stigma for the
University.
Will bill self have to kick some-
body off of scholarship next
year?
NCAA allows for a program to
have 13 players on scholarship, how-
ever, with the penalty Kansas could
only have 12 players on scholarship
next season.
If everyone returned in 2007, Self
would either have to defer the penal-
ty one year or kick one of his current
players off of scholarship.
Speculation has been made that
sophomore Brandon Rush will bolt
for the NBA after this season and
Self has even said its a possibility. If
that is the case and Kansas doesnt
sign any more recruits for next sea-
son, everyone would be able to stay
on scholarship.

How long is the punishment in
affect?
The Athletics Department is on
probation for the next three years,
ending Oct. 11, 2009. Both the mens
basketball and football teams will
serve their punishments during the
next two seasons.
Who is al bohl, and why is he
part of these violations?
Al Bohl was the athletics direc-
tor for Kansas, who was fired in
April 2003 by Chancellor Robert
Hemenway. Under Bohls watch,
Kansas committed numerous viola-
tions that went unreported to the
NCAA or the Big 12 conference by
its compliance department.
I didnt know whether to laugh
or cry during Kansas second-half
meltdown against Oklahoma
State. After all, the best cure
for depression is laughter, and
Kansas gave me plenty to laugh
about. What I found most hilari-
ous was the secondarys inability
to stop Adarius Bowman, the
Cowboy receiver who totaled 301
yards and four touchdowns.
Who was supposed to be cov-
ering this guy? I know who could
have been: Charles Gordon, the
former KU cornerback who left
a year early to pursue a career in
the NFL. He still could be suiting
up for Kansas on Saturdays if he
had chosen to return.
Gordon wasnt drafted and
currently is on the practice squad
for the Minnesota Vikings. Hes
not making much money for an
NFL player and doesnt dress for
games. It wasnt a now-or-never
decision; all this wouldve been
available a year later.
So why did you do it Flash?
Kansas obviously needs you more
than the Vikings do. You could
have helped Kansas stop big pass
plays that cost it victories against
Toledo, Nebraska, Texas A&M
and Oklahoma State. With you,
the Jayhawks could have a good
defense. They could even be
undefeated.
I know: You didnt want to
play offense. But you wouldnt
need to. Kansas offense is much
better than last season. Scoring
25 points should be good enough
to defeat Oklahoma State. Its not
the offense thats in need, its the
defense.
Saturdays second half was
the worst the Kansas defense
has played since coach Mark
Manginos first season. Maybe
last season spoiled me, but I dont
like seeing 603 total yards from
the other team, 35 points allowed
in one half or 301 yards for one
receiver.
The defense was as dead as
the Memorial Stadium crowd in
the second half. It just rolled over
and died, even after the offense
came back to within three points
in the fourth quarter with a beau-
tiful two-point conversion. Two
plays later, Kansas was down by
10 again.
Sophomore Aqib Talib is a
good cornerback, but he cov-
ers only one side of the field.
That leaves a big hole on the left
side of the defense, a hole that
Gordon dug for the Jayhawks.
He couldve led Kansas back
to another bowl game, which is
suddenly an unlikely possibility.
He couldve been one of the most
important players in Kansas foot-
ball history. Instead hes practic-
ing football for a living.
But whats done is done.
Gordon isnt here and Kansas
football will be finished when
it loses to Baylor this weekend.
Thank God its basketball season.
