BY RYAN McGEENEY
rmcgeeney@kansan.com The University Daily Kansan, in conjunction with Student Senate and University Relations, is promoting an effort to replace the chant that has become associated with kickoffs at Jayhawk football games in recent seasons. The chant, rip his f*cking head off, which was taken from dialogue in the 1998 Adam Sandler movie The Waterboy, has been criticized for its vulgarity and lack of class. Shouted by Kansas fans as a kicker sends the ball downfield, the chant has come to be a primary complaint for those wanting a family-friendly atmosphere at Memorial Stadium. Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior and student body president, said the current chant didnt accurately reflect the sentiment of the majority of Jayhawk fans. I dont think the chant thats being echoed is very original, and I think its very offensive to some people in the crowd, McGonigle said. I think a lot of students are interested in being more respectful. Several days before the Jayhawks game against Colorado last week, University Relations distributed an e-mail to students featuring a video in which Kansas football coach Mark Mangino addressed Jayhawk football fans, requesting them to stop saying the chant. There are mixed reports as to how well it went at the last game, but I think it has improved, McGonigle said. Students who did it were in the minority. Matt Erickson, editor in chief of The Kansan, said the paper would have a selection of alternatives posted on Kansan.com today. Fans will have the opportunity to vote online for a new chant, which may be introduced during Saturdays game against Texas Tech. I want it to be something uniquely suited to KU, Erickson said. Our other traditions are unique to the school, like the Jayhawk mascot. The current chant is better suited to a more generic school with a generic mascot, like a Tiger or Wildcat. Voting for the new chant will conclude on Wednesday at 5 p.m. Edited by Rachel Burchfield The School of Fine Arts will become the School of the Arts if the Kansas Board of Regents passes the Universitys proposal within the next couple of months. The School of Fine Arts currently includes the art, design, music and dance departments.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. A worker doing a sewer line replacement at a home made an eerie discovery: Huge slabs of grave markers. Brian Darwin pulled nine of about 60 granite pavers out of the ground Wednesday night. When he flipped one of the 100-pound slabs over a day later, he was stunned. An inscription read: Beloved Wife, Mother Viola T. Bagnasco, 1901-1969. Caryl Arnet, owner of monument maker Arnets Inc., said the markers might have been used as a walkway because they contained misspellings or other errors.

Homecoming involves more groups than just Greeks

BY BRANDY ENTSMINGER
bentsminger@kansan.com The Homecoming Steering Committee created two new events to get a more diverse group of student organizations involved in homecoming activities this week. David Wilcox, Manhattan junior, is vice president of the committee. He said the committee wanted to give students the opportunity to get involved non-competitively as individuals as well as with their organizations. The committee created a Jayhawk Renaissance Festival and Homecoming Cookout for the week. The cookout will replace the annual pep rally and feature the Jayhawk Jingles contest. Homecoming is now for the entire campus to have a good time with, Wilcox said. The Jayhawk Renaissance Festival will feature info tables for student organizations and a Kansas University Endowment Association cash-grab box with money and scholarships. The Juggling Club and Fencing Club may also perform. Emily Enright, Manhattan senior and daily event co-chair, said the festival would be similar to the info fairs during Hawk Week. She said students would have the opportunity to learn more about student organizations away from the chaos of the beginning of the year. The homecoming competition is divided into two categories Greek Life and Student Life. Wilcox said the division helped keep the competition fair because certain groups had more members and could afford to spend more money. Organizations earn points for participation and also for first, second and third place finishes in competitive events. Students can also earn points for their organizations by attending events such as the Student Union Activitiessponsored Gabriel Iglesias show. Wilcox said the homecoming competition was more competitive this year because there was a more diverse group of organizations participating. Were going to let as many people compete as possible because thats the fun of competition, Wilcox said. The committee held a new informational meeting for interested students and groups this year. Wilcox said they wanted to make it clear the competition wasnt

Investors look to stock market during global economic recession

ASSocIATED PRESS
NEW YORK With little question the U.S. is in the grips of a recession, investors this week will lean on a stream of earnings and economic reports to help determine exactly how prolonged and painful the downturn might be. Theres certainly been fresh evidence the credit market has begun to thaw. But, that alone might not be enough to restore confidence in the stock market at a time when investors are clamoring for stronger signs of a bottom. Trying to predict a floor for major U.S. stock market indexes has proven to be a difficult task. Wall Street ended a volatile twoweek run fairly stable on Friday, and there were indications that bank-to-bank lending rates eased and that some companies returned to the bond market to raise cash. Those indicators might have previously been enough to reassure anxious investors that the worst is over for the stock market. However, amid a financial crisis not seen for decades, analysts still remain cautious. If you can survive the whiplash of this bottom formation, then stocks look ridiculously cheap, said Edward Yardeni, president and market analyst at Yardeni Research. But, there are bigger questions. Investors still want to see the light of day in this credit crisis, and they want to know if the current recession will be relatively short and shallow. He said the biggest question facing Wall Street is whether the stock markets current levels have priced in all the pain that goes along with a recession. Indexes could slip even further if the market is sideswiped by a disappointing batch of economic news or dour corporate reports. Sunday evening, stock index futures signaled a slightly higher open. Dow Jones industrial average futures rose 54, or 0.61 percent, to 8,825. Standard & Poors 500 futures rose 7.30, or 0.78 percent, to 940.50; while Nasdaq-100 futures rose 7.00, or 0.53 percent, to 1,318. It was impossible to tell whether the market would hold at those levels by the time trading resumes Monday. Markets in Asia and Europe could set the tone for the start of the week in the U.S., and any news developments before the opening bell on Wall Street will ultimately determine how U.S. stocks fare. Traders return to work Monday with a bit of history lingering over the session. Sunday marked the anniversary of the 1987 stock market crash known as Black Monday. The Dow plunged 22.6 percent that day to mark the largest one-session percentage decline ever. Economic reports this week include Septembers index of leading U.S. economic indicators on Monday.

Republican Colin Powell announces Obama support

AssociAted press
WASHINGTON Colin Powell, a Republican and retired general who was President Bushs first secretary of state, broke with the party Sunday and endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president, calling him a transformational figure while criticizing the tone of John McCains campaign. The former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman said either senator is qualified to be commander in chief. But after studying both, he concluded that Obama is better suited than McCain, the standardbearer of Powells own party, to handle the nations economic problems and help improve its world standing. It isnt easy for me to disappoint Sen. McCain in the way that I have this morning, and I regret that, Powell said on NBCs Meet the Press, where he announced the endorsement and delivered a serious blow to the aspirations of his longtime friend, Arizona Sen. McCain. But, Powell added: I think we need a transformational figure. I think we need a president who is a generational change and thats why Im supporting Barack Obama, not out of any lack of respect or admiration for Sen. John McCain. The endorsement by Powell amounted to a stunning rejection of McCain, a 26-year veteran of Congress and a former Vietnam prisoner of war who has campaigned as the experienced, tested candidate who knows how to keep the country safe. Powells endorsement has been much anticipated because of his impressive foreign policy credentials, a subject on which Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois, is weak. Powell is a Republican centrist popular among moderate

Kidnapped boy returns safely to relieved father

Mexican drug dealers posing as police abducted the 6-year-old for four days
By KATHLEEN HENNESSEy
ASSociATEd PrESS LAS VEGAS A 6-year-old boy abducted from his home at gunpoint was safe in his fathers custody Sunday as police tried to untangle any ties the youngsters family had to the Mexican drug dealers Puffinburger suspected of taking him. Police were interviewing Cole Puffinburger after he was found alone Saturday night on a quiet street outside a Methodist church in Las Vegas. Were speaking with the boy today, FBI spokesman David Staretz said Sunday. I know hes being interviewed by law enforcement, and well probably get a better idea of where hes been. Coles father, Robert Puffinburger, was a picture of relief at a news conference, as he smiled, cried and thanked police and neighbors for helping to bring Cole home. Im just so glad hes safe, his father said. Staretz would not comment further on what had happened to Cole in the four days since he was snatched from his mothers home by two men posing as police officers. Police have said they believe the abduction Wednesday was an attempt by drug dealers to send a message to the boys grandfather. Cole was found in extremely good condition but was taken to University Medical Center as a precaution, Las Vegas police Capt. Vincent Cannito said. Cole was treated and released to his fathers care early Sunday, hospital spokesman Rick Plummer said. Robert Puffinburger and police had concentrated search efforts on a largely Hispanic neighborhood a few miles from where Cole was found. They posted fliers in English and Spanish with a photograph of the boy, a slight, smiling blond in glasses. On Sunday, a blue painted sign in the front yard of the home from which Cole was abducted read, Welcome Home Cole. The home appeared sparsely furnished, with a bare mattress on the living room floor. No one answered the door. Robert Puffinburger would not comment on Coles mother or her father, 51-year-old Clemens Tinnemeyer, who police say may have stolen millions from dealers involved in trafficking methamphetamine. Tinnemeyer was scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate Monday in Riverside, Calif. He was arrested there Friday and was being held in nearby San Bernardino on a material witness warrant issued by a federal court in Nevada. Las Vegas police didnt know whether Tinnemeyer had a lawyer. Police have declined to elaborate on what role he played in the drug operation or whether the kidnappers had been seeking a ransom. Tinnemeyer described himself as a carpenter of 22 years when he and his wife, Diane, filed for bankruptcy in 2001. The couple live in an older Las Vegas neighborhood of weathered rambler-style homes on acre lots. The Tinnemeyers have lived there for close to 20 years, according to a neighbor who didnt want to be identified because he feared for his safety. Until about two years ago, the house was busy with cars com-

Cole was often at the home in the care of his grandmother, who works in a lunchroom of the local elementary school. Tinnemeyer spent time in what he said was a recording studio behind the home, the neighbor said. He left in a motor home in May. The neighbor said he continued to see Diane Tinnemeyer daily but had not seen her husband since. Messages left at a number believed to be for the Tinnemeyer home were not returned. A black pickup truck sat in the driveway Sunday, but no one came to the door. Staretz said authorities continued the search Sunday for another person of interest, a Mexican citizen identified as Jesus Gastelum.

Israel considers land exchange deal

By AroN HELLEr
ASSociATEd PrESS JERUSALEM Israeli leaders are seriously considering a dormant Saudi plan offering a comprehensive peace between Israel and the Arab world in exchange for lands captured during the 1967 war, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Sunday. Barak said it may be time to pursue an overall peace deal for the region since individual negotiations with Syria and the Palestinians have made little progress. Barak said he has discussed the Saudi plan with Prime Ministerdesignate Tzipi Livni, who is in the process of forming a new Israeli government, and that Israel is considering a response. Saudi Arabia first proposed the peace initiative in 2002, offering pan-Arab recognition of Israel in exchange for Israels withdrawal from Arab lands captured in 1967 the West Bank, Gaza Strip, east Jerusalem and the Golan Heights. The 22-member Arab League endorsed the plan last year. Israel has said the plan is a good basis for discussion, but expressed some reservations. There is definitely room to introduce a comprehensive Israeli plan to counter the Saudi plan that would be the basis for a discussion on overall regional peace, Barak told Israels Army Radio. He noted the deep, joint interest with moderate Arab leaders in containing Irans nuclear ambitions and limiting the influence of the radical Islamic Hezbollah movement in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. Analyst Ghassan Khatib, a former minister in the Palestinian Cabinet, said interest in the plan was a little bit late but welcome. I strongly believe that the Arab initiative is the best approach to peace between the Arabs and the Israelis, he said. It fulfills all the legitimate objectives of Israel and those of the Palestinians and at the same time it has this regional dimension and it reflects one of the rare issues on which Arabs have consensus. While Israels outgoing prime minister, Ehud Olmert, has welcomed the Saudi plan, he and other leaders want to keep small parts of the territories captured in 1967. Israel also objects to language that appears to endorse a large-scale return of Palestinian refugees to lands inside Israel. Israel says a massive influx of Palestinians would destroy the countrys Jewish character.

Housewives actor crashes bike

AssociAted Press
LOS ANGELES Gale Harold was in critical condition Wednesday after the "Desperate Housewives" actor crashed his motorcycle the day before, a hospital spokeswoman said. Harold was awaiting further tests at USC Medical Center, spokeswoman Adelaida De La Cerda said. She gave no further details on his injuries. Publicist Nancy Seltzer said Wednesday that Harold fractured his shoulder, and "Housewives" creator and executive producer Marc Cherry said he apparently has swelling on the brain but is expected to recover. "We're hearing he's going to be fine, but he's going to be recovering for a couple of weeks," Cherry said. Selzer said no one else was injured, but did not provide further details on the Tuesday wreck, which was first reported by TMZ. The California Highway Patrol said it had no information about the accident. Harold plays Jackson, the boyfriend of Teri Hatcher's character Susan Mayer on the ABC show. The character plays a pivotal role in the fifth season's eighth episode, a November sweeps installment which finds several Wisteria Lane residents trapped inside a nightclub fire. Cherry said Harold had been filming scenes all week for the episode and had been scheduled to be on set Tuesday.

How Budig turned into a waste land

The two freshmen sat in Budig eating their breakfast out of a paper bag a grab and go from Mrs. Es. The professor stopped lecturing. She scolded them for eating in class, perhaps afraid they would leave a mess. Maybe the scolding was harsh. But maybe her actions were necessary. Food means wrappers and paper bags. Trash. These two students threw everything away after the professor said something, but too often, KU students dont throw their garbage away or recycle it, and it covers the floor of hallways and classrooms. It takes an extra 30 seconds at the most to do the right thing. Thirty seconds. Probably less, and theres no mess left behind to clean up. So find a trash can. Theyre all over campus. If its a newspaper, bottle or anything else recyclable, go to a recycling bin. Sometimes theyre tough to find, but theyre on campus, too. If students start properly disposing their trash, it will prevent classrooms from looking like Hoch Auditorium on a recent Wednesday. The place was empty. Classes were done, but remnants littered the ground. Newspapers were in the aisles and under seats. Pieces of notebook paper were too. A few red Coca-Cola cups and food wrappers completed the picture. The janitorial staff picks it all up, eventually, and the floors are trash-free in the morning. But the janitors could be doing other work rather than cleaning up debris that easily could have been thrown in a garbage can. Students also need to do a better job of recycling. According to KU Environmental Services, the number of items recycled on campus actually declined last year for the first time since the recycling program was started in 1992. That trend needs to change. Its in the student bodys hands to recycle and properly dispose of trash. The beauty of the University depends on it. Right now, its the classrooms and buildings that have newspapers and cups littering the ground, but Jayhawk Boulevard could be next if students dont make a change. Mark Dent for the editorial board

Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader spoke to a welcoming crowd of about 400 at Abe and Jakes Landing Oct. 9. He was introduced by Adam Wood, a candidate for student body president this past April and an avowed Ron Paul aficionado. Weve had enough of Democrats, he insisted. Weve had enough of Republicans. They do the same things. Theyre the same thing. Every third party candidate must rehash the obligatory rhetoric of our nations bankrupt two-party system. But this year Americans actually do have a significant choice between the two major partys candidates. The quadrennial ritual of Naders candidacy seems ineffectual and strikingly out of place. About 40 minutes into Naders meandering speech, the large projection screen behind his lectern reverted from the Nader-Gonzalez logo to the soothing constellations of a Windows screensaver. It was a tragically appropriate symbol of his latest campaign for president. His passion for consumer advocacy and political reform has become an admirable but unrealistic endeavor. This years campaign will have even less of an influence than it has in the past. Naders relentless insistence on the twoparty dictatorship detracts from the more plausible and practicable

positions he advocates. All of us owe Nader for introducing crucial political issues into mainstream discourse. His challenge to the pernicious influence of corporations in politics remains as relevant today as it ever has been. And this is precisely the positive role that third parties can play in American politics. They have been able to introduce new issues into the national discourse that the major parties have neglected. Take, for example, Eugene Debs socialist party with its demands for workers rights, many of which were eventually implemented in the New Deal. The problem is that Nader advocates the dismantling of the twoparty system, not simply a change in the two parties policies. It would take a drastic reworking of our

government to achieve the type of European-style proportional representation that he champions. The two-party system is inextricable from the type of single seat plurality and winner-take-all elections that we have used in the United States since this nation was founded. This wont change now. It wont change in 100 years. I disagree with Adam Wood: Democrats and Republicans are not the same thing, and certainly not in this election. But even if he were correct, he should challenge the two parties to change instead of challenging the premise of the system. Thompson is a Topeka senior in economics and political science.

McCain pushing for swing state Ohio

ASSOCIAted PreSS
TOLEDO, Ohio Evoking Joe the Plumber near his hometown in this pivotal state, Republican John McCain on Sunday cast himself as the guardian of middle-class workers and small-business owners who fuel the economy. If Im elected presiMcCain dent, I wont raise taxes on small businesses, as Sen. [Barack] Obama proposes, and force them to cut jobs, McCain said of his Democratic opponent during a rally at the convention center. I will keep small business taxes where they are, help them keep their costs low and let them spend their earnings to create more jobs, not send to Washington. McCain flew to Toledo, near where Joe the Plumber Wurzelbacher lives, from the state capital of Columbus amid the GOPs push for this swing state and its 20 electoral votes. The Holland, Ohio, plumber was in New York making the media rounds with his family, but McCain has been evoking his spirit after making him the focal point the final presidential debate between McCain and Obama. McCain also mentions Wurzelbacher at his rallies after the plumber was videotaped questioning Obama about whether his tax plan would keep him from buying the two-man plumbing shop where he works. While some analyses showed Wurzelbacher faring better under Obamas plan than McCains, McCain has lashed out at Obama for saying that while his policies may force some to pay higher taxes, they were designed to spread the wealth around by targeting only families making over $250,000 annually. Sen. Obama is more interested in controlling who gets your piece of the pie than he is growing the pie, McCain told a crowd of several thousand. McCain is now employing someone who made those calls against him to highlight Obamas association with a Vietnam War radical.

Graduates photo beats 20,000 to make cover

BY SACHIKO MIYAKAWA
smiyakawa@kansan.com Melissa Madison Fuller stood among the crowd to snap pictures of The Flaming Lips at the Wakarusa Music and Camping Festival. Her camera restlessly followed the lead singer, Wayne Coyne, amid bright, wielding flashlights. Its one of the most intense experiences, said Fuller, a 2008 graduate from Ottawa. I was completely absorbed into this brilliant, beautiful man. Four months later, her picture, A Flaming Lip, appeared on the cover of JPG Magazine, a photography magazine published in San Francisco. JPG Magazine has ties to an online community site and features pictures contributed to the Web site from its members. Laura Brunow Minor, JPG Magazines editor in chief and 2003 graduate and KU alumna, said Fullers picture was selected among 20,000 photos submitted to the online community site for the October-November 2008 issue. It stood out to me from the first time I saw it as a rare capture of the energy and excitement that can be found at a live music show, Minor said. Fuller said she was shocked when she found out the news. My brother and I were outside screaming, Fuller said. Fuller has taken pictures since she was in high school. She said she enjoyed taking pictures of her friends and family the most. I want to capture the beautiful, intimate moment that people love each other, and that convinces you that they are happy, Fuller said. Her camera captures scenes of everyday life of people around her. Some pictures just depict her friends hanging around in an apartment kitchen. She watches people and releases a shutter when she finds an expression or moment that will stand out in peoples memories. I could shape the way my children and my friends children think about what our life is like, Fuller said.

WASHINGTON Freddie Mac secretly paid a Republican consulting firm $2 million to kill legislation that would have regulated and trimmed the mortgage finance giant and its sister company, Fannie Mae, three years before the government took control to prevent their collapse. In the cross hairs of the campaign carried out by DCI of Washington were Republican senators and a regulatory overhaul bill sponsored by Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) DCIs chief executive is Doug Goodyear, whom John McCains campaign later hired to

manage the GOP convention in September. Freddie Macs payments to DCI began shortly after the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee sent Hagels bill to the then GOP-run Senate on July 28, 2005. All GOP members of the committee supported it; all Democrats opposed it. In the midst of DCIs yearlong effort, Hagel and 25 other Republican senators pleaded unsuccessfully with Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., to allow a vote. If effective regulatory reform legislation ... is not enacted this year, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae

and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole, the senators wrote in a letter that proved prescient. Unknown to the senators, DCI was undermining support for the bill in a campaign targeting 17 Republican senators in 13 states, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. The states and the senators targeted changed over time, but always stayed on the Republican side. Obama has received $120,349 in political donations from employees of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae; McCain $21,550.

Hawks lose after hard-fought matchup

By B.J. rAins
NORMAN, Okla. Jake Sharp had just rushed four times for 58 yards and scored on a 17-yard touchdown run to cut the Oklahoma lead to seven at 31-24. It was early in the third quarter, the Kansas defense got a big stop, and it was time for Sharp and the offense to take the field with a chance to tie the game. But when the Jayhawks offensive unit trotted out to take its position, it was Jocques Crawford not Sharp who stood behind Todd Reesing at the tailback spot. To that point, Sharp had rushed for 98 yards on only nine carries an average of 10.9 yards per rush. He had just crafted his way right through the Oklahoma defense to bring Kansas within seven points and appeared almost unstoppable. But despite being down by only one touchdown with still more than nine minutes remaining in the third quarter, Mangino and the coaching staff decided that they had to switch from the ground attack to the air. That meant Sharp, who ignited the Kansas comeback at Iowa State and appeared on his way to possibly do it again, was forced to the bench for Crawford. We needed a bigger body for pass protection, Mangino said. We didnt have much of a choice. We were behind and had to throw the ball so we needed a bigger guy there to protect. Reesing had passed for 258 yards at that point, but trailing just 31-24 with almost 25 minutes remaining in the game seemed like an odd time to give up on what just scored them a touchdown on the previous drive. The Jayhawks punted on three-straight possessions before Sharp saw the field again and ended up punting on five-straight possessions following the touchdown. The Jon goering/Kansan Hawks eventually scored late in the game to make the final margin 45-31 in favor of the Junior quarterback todd reesing fumbles the ball on a scramble during Saturday's game against Oklahoma at Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla. The Sooners defeated the Jayhawks 45-31. Reesing completed 24-of-41 passes for 342 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw two interceptions. The Oklahoma defense pressured Reesing all game, sacking him five times. Kansas defense, on the other hand, put very little pressure on Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford and recorded no sacks. see football on page 4b

Hawks knock off No. 6 Aggies

Big 12 North teams go south

o 2008 was supposed to be different. This was supposed to be the year the Big 12 North stood up to the big bad heavyweights from the South and said, Enough. 2008 was the year Kansas backed up its historic 2007 and Missouri cemented itself on the national stage. Oops. Kansas meet Missouri. Missouri meet Kansas. Brothers in blowouts. Rivals in routs. An hour after Sam Bradford finished knifing through Kansas defense, Texas began its Missouri [tail]-kicking, and the Big 12 North was left wounded and humiliated. Kansas was gashed, Missouri thrashed, and the Norths reputation trashed. Get all that? Of course, Big 12 division dominance has run in cycles. Buoyed by national power Nebraska and plucky Kansas State, the North reigned during the Big 12s initial seasons. In three of the Big 12s first four seasons, the North finished the season with the conferences top two teams in the final Associated Press poll.

But the junior guard changed his mind after participating in 2008s Late Night in the Phog Friday night. This was probably the best atmosphere, Collins said, best Late Night since Ive been here. Collins wasnt hailing it the best Late Night ever simply for the sellout crowd, deafening noise or even the 20-minute scrimmage that introduced seven newcomers to the fans. Collins said the most emotional part of the night was the unveiling of last years championship banners and the video that accompanied it.

Robinson and Taylor similarities startling

BY mARK DenT
Tyshawn Taylor played like the college version of Russell Robinson in high school, but now that hes in college, hell play like the high school version of Russell Robinson. Whoa. Did that make sense? Probably not, so heres what I mean. Robinson was a scorer in high school. A gunner. He wore No. 23, like MJ, and he shot the ball. A lot. Robinson could make threepointers, and despite being 6-foot-1, he could bang inside with guys who were three or four inches taller than him. In his first year at Rice High School, he and Lincolns Sebastian Telfair were the only freshmen in the Bronx to start. By his senior year, he was averaging 22 points and eight rebounds. Somehow, the scoring and athleticism didnt make it to Lawrence on Robinsons trip west. It mightve been the injuries. Robinson played injured every year in high school. He broke both his wrists and both his ankles and suffered from chronic shin splints. By the time he got to Kansas, he was damaged goods. Im not as quick as I used to be, Robinson once said. The other part was his team. His freshman year, Robinson was supposed to give the ball to Taylor Wayne Simien. The next three years, he had Brandon Rush, Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright and Darrell Arthur to feed. So he adjusted. He showed his best trait was that ability to evolve as he turned from a scorer into a defensive specialist and distributor. Those words describe Taylors job in high school exactly. He averaged 10 points and five assists a game for St. Anthonys, a team stocked with high-level prospects that won the mythical national championship last season. Coach Bob Hurley needed Taylor to pass. Not score. It will be different in college. No legitimate scorer returns for the Jayhawks. Sherron Collins can score but hes dealt with injuries and weight problems. Cole Aldrich hasnt proven hes ready yet. Taylor is the one. He dropped 47 points in a summer league game, led the team in scoring in two out of three Canada exhibitions and at Late Night on Friday. Its early, but Taylor has adapted like Robinson did. He shoots. He drives. He scores. Hes the high

fact of the day

KU soccer is third in the Big 12 with 45 conference victories since 2001. Kansas won a share of the 2004 Big 12 regular season championship with an 8-2 conference mark. mdent@kansan.com Theyre like Kennedy and Lincoln. Russell Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor have so much in common its beyond coincidence. They both play point guard. Theyre both from the New York City area (Jersey City for Taylor and the Bronx for Robinson). They both played for a high school basketball powerhouse (St. Anthonys for Taylor and Rice for Robinson). They both chose Kansas instead of Georgia Tech. Their first names are both composed of seven letters. All they need is the rumor about a secretary. But heres the real comparison:

school version of Russell.

Both teams struggle at Pre-Nationals in Indiana

BY JASON BAKER
jbaker@kansan.com Having run the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind., 10 times before, freshman Sam Bird has seen bad races. Unfortunately for the Kansas Cross Country team, they got the bad end of the deal as it faced some of the toughest competition theyve seen all year at Pre-Nationals this weekend. The womens team placed 23rd out of 41 teams and the men placed 36th out of 40 teams as the Jayhawks competed against topranked Division I schools across the country, including teams from the Big 12 Conference. Because of the number of schools entered in at Pre-Nationals, the competition was divided into two races: the blue race and the white race. Washington took first place overall with many of its runners finishing in the top 10. KU finished in 23rd place, with the help of junior Lauren Bonds and sophomore Amanda Miller finishing in the top 100. Bonds finished first for the Jayhawks for the fourth consecutive meet and took 64th place with a time of 21:24. Miller finished second for the team and 94th overall with a time of 21:47. Miller felt like the team could have had a better performance. If we took the same thing that we did at Oklahoma State to PreNationals, we couldve been in a better position. She said. One factor in the teams performance was the absence of freshman Laura Nightengale. Nightengale was dealing with a leg injury and stepped out of competing to make sure that she was ready for conference play. With Nightengale out, it gave senior Megan James a chance to step up for the team. James finished in 146th place and third for the Jayhawks. Megan stepped up and helped us out a lot, Miller said of James. Another factor was that this was the first time the team competed in the seated race. For the past two years, the team competed in the open races. The blue race consisted of 280 runners, which was new to the freshman. It was different because Im not used to that many people in one race, freshman Rebeka Stowe said. I wasnt as mentally prepared for it as I shouldve been. Next was the mens 8K. The men competed in the white race, where Stanford took first place overall. The Jayhawks took 36th place, with freshman Donny Wasinger being the frontrunner for the Jayhawks and taking 160th place overall with a time of 25:21. Its the second race this season the freshman finished first for the team since the Bob Timmons Invitational back in August. I dont think our race results reflect how well we perform, he said. Wasinger said the team needed to work on consistency. We need to get all the guys to run a good race at the same time. Wasinger said he consciously tried blocking out the hundreds of competitors in his field. Seeing that many people ahead can wear on you mentally, he said. But I tried to remain calm and collective and run my own race. Some of the runners thought Wasinger ran a smart race. Donny ran the smartest time, junior Isaiah Shirlen said. He was our seventh man through the first 2K. By the end of the race he was our number

Kansas coach Bill Self agreed. Self, Collins and the rest of the Jayhawks gathered underneath the scoreboard at the northwest corner of Allen Fieldhouse to watch the 20-minute highlight video and banner ceremony in its entirety. Self said he had nothing to do with putting the video together and saw it for the first time alongside the 16,300 fans filling Allen Fieldhouse. I almost started crying, Self said. I dont think I was the only one. Self especially liked the way the video was chronologically compiled. It started with highlights from the regular season before pausing to uncover the new Big 12 Championship banner. From there, it was on to the NCAA Tournament and a new Final Four banner. After prolonged highlights of the Final Four game against North Carolina and national championship against Memphis, the black tarp dropped and exposed the 2008 National Championship banner. I thought that was big-time, Self said. The night, however, consisted of more than just nostalgia for the basketball team. It also provided an opportunity to dance. Junior guard Mario Little took full advantage. Littles moves led the tuxedo-cloaked juniors plus redshirt-sophomore Brady Morningstar in a dancing rendition of Missy Elliotts Ching-a-ling. The juniors capped off their performance by tearing off their jackets and letting loose on the Allen Fieldhouse dance floor. Self looked at his assistant coaches on the bench, put his head down and lost it laughing. Ive been working with them on some different things, Self said. I thought Brady started all that nonsense. That was funny. If the juniors owned the dancing portion of the night, the freshmen stole the show in the inter-squad scrimmage.

Late Night scrimmage ends with 17-17 tie

BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com The womens basketball team didnt raise any banners at Late Night in the Phog. Nor was Bonnie ball responsible for making fans cry with last seasons highlights. Still, the deafening excitement for Bill Self s boys flooded into the womens portion of Kansas annual tradition, and it resulted in the best Late Night of the Bonnie Henrickson era. It felt like this year people were more into it, junior Danielle McCray said. It was even more fun than last year, added sophomore Nicollette Smith. The team started practicing its dance routines at the start of school and kept up with it three times a week leading up to the performance. Freshman Angel Goodrich didnt visit Late Night before committing to Kansas, so Friday was her first look at a full Allen Fieldhouse. I wasnt as nervous as I thought I would be, Goodrich said. It was exciting having so many people watch you. Henrickson said she watched dance practice for the first time, and it made her more nervous than shes ever been at Late Night. I walked away thinking Thats why I dont dance in front of 16,000 people, because I look worse than that, Henrickson said. If they have fun, Im all for it. The team split into two groups for the dance routines. Goodrich and fellow freshman Aishah Sutherland were in the first group, which danced to Ne-Yos Closer. The second group donned trench coats and boogied down to When I Grow Up by the Pussycat Dolls. After the dancing, the Jayhawks changed into their jerseys and prepared for the first practice of the season. Goodrich emerged from the fog first, leading Kansas out of the tunnel. The teams, split into red versus blue, played a back-and-forth contest that very much resembled the first practice after a long offseason. They looked a little anxious and a little nervous at first, but then they kind of settled into a decent rhythm, Goodrich Henrickson said. Neither team could gain much of an advantage and the contest ended in a 17-17 tie. The game came down to a showdown between Goodrich and senior Ivana Catic with time run-

Elijah Johnson, a point guard from Las Vegas, sat behind the Jayhawk bench chewing on a sucker during Late Night in the Phog Friday. He must have come away impressed. Johnson orally committed to Kansas Saturday night while still in Lawrence for his official visit, according to rivals.com. Rivals.com ranks the 6-foot-2 Johnson as the fifth best point guard and 27th best player overall in the 2009 class. Johnson and Thomas Robinson, a Washington, D.C., forward and No. 18 player in the country, are the first two players to commit to Kansas for next season. Self is Johnson now down to one available scholarship and one of the three shooting guards in attendance for Late Night will most likely snag it. Oklahoma Citys Xavier Henry, the No. 3 ranked player in the nation, is the most highly touted of three. No. 16 Dominic Cheek, from Jersey City, N.J., was high school teammates and best friends with current Jayhawk Tyshawn Taylor. Michael Snaer from Moreno Valley, Calif., the No. 11 player in the nation, rounds out the list.

SELF GETS ANOTHER COMMITMENT

Freshman guard angel Goodrich kicks the ball out to junior guard Danielle McCray during the women's basketball scrimmage Friday night at Allen Fieldhouse. Goodrich will battle for the starting point guard position this season with junior guard LaChelda Jacobs and senior guard Ivana Catic. ning out. Goodrich looked over to Henrickson for a play, and while the incumbent guard was trying to run the play, last years starting point guard stole the ball and took it down the court. Catic traveled as she tried to score the decisive points, but the play showed that competition at every position will be stiff this season. Goodrich and Sutherland will each have a chance to crack the starting lineup because Henrickson has started a freshman every season at Kansas. Kids come here understanding that theres an opportunity to play right away as a freshman, if you produce, Henrickson said. Senior Marija Zinic, who has come off the bench for the majority of her career, led all scorers with seven points. We just told her, Its your senior year, and if you can rebound the basketball then you can help us, Henrickson said. At some point you need to figure out that this is your last go-round and make the most of it. Smith said that the team chemistry at this point is better than it was last year and the team seems more motivated to perform after a disappointing end to the 2007-08 campaign. The sparkplug in turning the corner and getting to the NCAA tournament could be its new pint-sized point guard. Goodrich doesnt have a championship ring, but as much as any of the mens team, she appreciates wearing the crimson and blue. Im so excited for practice to start, Goodrich said. Putting on this jersey felt so good. Edited by Rachel Burchfield

Former Jayhawk Darnell Jackson made several appearances on the number of highlight videos shown at Late Night in the Phog. The videos showed Jackson making big plays and celebrating. His weekend wasnt quite as fun. Jackson, who now plays for the Cleveland Cavaliers, broke his wrist and is out indefinitely. Jackson played four exhibition games before sustaining the injury.

The Rays completed a stunning run to their first pennant, holding off the defending champion Boston Red Sox 3-1 Sunday night behind Matt Garzas masterful pitching in Game 7 of the AL championship series. The Rays nearly let it slip away when they blew a seven-run lead late in Game 5 and lost meekly Saturday night. But when rookie David Price struck out J.D. Drew with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning, Tampa Bay showed it had plenty of resolve, too. Its unbelievable, center fielder B.J. Upton said.

No. 4. Sooners. We had some opportunities, Sharp said. But at the end of the day, we came up short. Kansas scored a first-quarter touchdown on a one-yard run by Crawford, the first touchdown a team has scored in the first quarter against Oklahoma all season. In fact, Oklahoma had outscored its opponents 110-6 in the opening quarter minutes before the Jayhawks matched the team at 7-7 going into the second quarter on Saturday. Kansas was close to tying the game at 14 in the second quarter before Reesing was intercepted at the two-yard line to end a potential scoring drive. It was Reesings second interception of the game and meant that along with a Jacob Branstetter field goal on their next drive the Jayhawks scored only three points on two trips to the red zone in the first half. When youre playing a really good football team like Oklahoma, you cant make many mistakes, Mangino said. Still, Kansas trailed 24-17 at the half despite the two turnovers and allowing 419 yards to quarterback Sam Bradford and the Sooner offense. Bradford passed for a school-record 468 yards, with 313 of those yards coming in the 30 minutes of the game. With all the turnovers we had and the big difference in yards they had, we were only down seven, said Dezmon Briscoe, who had a schoolrecord 12 catches for 269 yards and two touchdowns. We were like, Hey, were still in this. We never once doubted ourselves or hung our heads. Mangino stressed all week that his team would need to play smart football to compete with the vaunted Sooners in Norman. After having just one penalty in the first half, Kansas had six penalties for 62 yards in the second half. Any time youre playing in a big game against a good opponent, any penalty and turnover is going to be magnified, Reesing said. Reesing was 24-41 for 342 yards but was sacked a seasonhigh five times and had the two key interceptions in the first half. The Kansas defense struggled to even slow down Bradford and the Oklahoma offense. The Sooners leading receiver Manuel Johnson left with a broken arm in the first quarter, but Oklahoma didnt miss a beat. Oklahoma had 674 yards of offense. In the end, it was a shootout and Kansas just couldnt keep up. We gave it our best shot, Mangino said. Our kids played their tails off. A couple plays here, a couple plays there and you give yourself a chance. Kansas fell to 5-2 on the season but remained the only team in the Big 12 North with a winning record at 2-1. Four teams Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas State are all 1-2 and Iowa State is 0-3. Its not like we came out and got upset, Reesing said. People thought we were going to lose by 20 points so we did better than most people expected. Were still in the thick of things in the Big 12 North. We have to learn from it and come out ready to play next week. Edited by Adam Mowder

Senior cornerback Kendrick Harper misses a tackle on Oklahoma receiver Jauqa Iglesias during the first half of the game. Iglesias torched the Jayhawk secondary for 10 receptions and 178 yards in the first half. He ended the game with 12 catches and 191 yards. Oklahoma gained 674 total yards in the game.

Secondary surrenders record passing game from Bradford

BY TAYLOR BERN
tbern@kansan.com NORMAN, Okla. Manuel Johnson, Oklahomas leader in catches, receiving yards and touchdowns, left during the first drive of Saturdays game with one catch for 21 yards and a severely injured left arm. He never returned, but it didnt seem to matter. I really didnt notice at all, Kansas safety Darrell Stuckey said. Without its leader, a Sooner receiving corps as deep as the Grand Canyon helped quarterback Sam Bradford accumulate the most single game passing yards in school history. Bradfords 468 yards and three touchdowns spurred Oklahoma to its 22nd consecutive home victory, a 45-31 triumph over Kansas. Im really impressed with Sam Bradford, coach Mark Mangino said. Hes everything they said he would be and more. The Sooners piled up 419 total yards by halftime and senior wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias whose stats entering the weekend were second only to Johnsons set singlehalf school records with 10 catches for 178 yards. Iglesias finished with 12 grabs for 191 yards. Sam had an incredible day and Juaquin had one of the best days ever here, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. Stuckey said his secondary unit failed to remain in its coverages and keep on top of its assigned receivers. In his third game back from injury, cornerback Kendrick Harpers duty on Saturday was to keep Iglesias in check. Obviously that didnt go as planned, but Mangino was reluctant to substitute anyone else into his place or move cornerback Chris Harris over to the other side. We cant afford to be thin where we cant rotate guys, Mangino said. We tried to give our linebackers a bit of a blow today. In the secondary, we just dont have that luxury. Eventually, Mangino put freshman Corrigan Powell into the game. Powell was one of three freshmen to play cornerback in Harpers absence. Powell appears to be the future at cornerback, but Mangino said hes not comfortable starting him in the present. Weve been working with some younger kids who we think are on the cusp of helping us, but well see, Mangino said. We cant put them out there if theyre not ready. Kansas lack of depth forced guys like Stuckey and safety Justin Thornton to play almost every defensive snap. Its one of those things where you go into the game knowing what you have to do, so thats never an excuse, Stuckey said. The secondary struggled to get a handle on Iglesias all day, but the biggest problem was that he wasnt the only one killing them. While Kansas Dezmon Briscoe was the only show in town for the Jayhawks passing attack, Iglesias was responsible for just 41 percent of Bradfords yards and he didnt catch any of his three touchdowns. We feel our best asset is using all of them and making them defend all of them, Stoops said. Sam does a great job with his reads and getting the ball to the guy who is most open. Stuckey entered the postgame press conference with a black eye from practice this week, but it symbolized the beating Kansas secondary and its leader took. The Jayhawks didnt play well enough to win, but Stuckey said he can learn more from a loss than a win. Even when you win, you go back and look at film and see the mistakes you made, Stuckey said. You still learn more from those mistakes than the times you succeeded. Stuckey said that a loss makes or breaks a team. Now sacked with two defeats, its time to find out what Kansas, and its secondary, is made of. Anytime you look back on your life when you made a mistake or failed, you always remember how you failed or what you did to make yourself fall, Stuckey said. Its kind of hard to critique when you did things perfectly. Edited by Rachel Burchfield

Sharp rushed for 103 yards on 12 carries for the game, averaging 8.6 yards per carry.

It took seven games, but we finally saw the Kerry Meier wide receiver pass that we knew was coming at some point. On the Jayhawks first play of a drive from their own 36 yard line early in the second quarter, quarterback Todd Reesing handed the ball off to running back Jake Sharp. Sharp gave the ball to Meier for what looked to be a reverse. But Meier pulled up and looked for a receiver downfield. The deep receivers were covered, but Meier found Dexton Fields for a 15-yard gain. The Jayhawks used a couple of other trick plays, including a reverse to Dezmon Briscoe that was good for

Sophomore wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe pulls in a 69-yard touchdown reception near the end of the second quarter, which cut the Oklahoma lead to 21-17. Briscoe caught 12 receptions for 269 yards and two touchdowns in the loss.

sance. The North was back, they said. And thats what made Saturday so frustrating. And thats why we wanted to scratch our head. Oklahoma and Texas arent just better. Theyre faster and stronger and bigger and theyre more disciplined and they have all-American talent all over the field and quarterbacks taller than six-feet, and well, it all just seems a little unfair. College footballs a curious institution. More than any other sport college or pro tradition matters. It all seems to easy for the Oklahomas and the Texass and the USCs. They play in palaces with massive video boards with goofy names like gorilla-tron. And they recruit studs, and they outspend people, and year after year the vicious cycle continues. The rich become richer. But the advantage goes beyond the field. College football is the only sport where polls are actually used to help determine who will play for the national title. And a lot of poll voters cant help themselves. They look at the programs name and they think about history. Oh. This teams not a traditional power. Better slide them down a few spots. Not following? Lets look at the past 20 National Champions. 1988 Notre Dame 1989 Miami, Fla. 1990 Colorado (AP), Georgia Tech (UPI) 1991 Miami, Fla. (AP), Washington (Coaches) 1992 Alabama 1993 Florida State 1994 Nebraska 1995 Nebraska 1996 Florida 1997 Michigan (AP), Nebraska (Coaches) 1998 Tennessee 1999 Florida State 2000 Oklahoma 2001 Miami, Fla. 2002 Ohio State 2003 USC (AP), LSU (National Champs) 2004 USC 2005 Texas 2006 Florida 2007 LSU Notice a trend? Aside from the bizarre Colorado/Georgia Tech split title in 1990, and Tennessees breakthrough in 1998, the last 20 years have been thoroughly owned by college footballs good ol boys. And thats precisely why 2007 had so many fans giddy. We were one week away from a Missouri West Virginia National Championship. The peasants were finally sticking it to college footballs nobility. Maybe we finally have parity, we thought. And then comes a day like Saturday. Oklahoma and Texas showed that speed still kill and thrills and talents still trumps everything else. And you look at the top six teams in the Associated Press Poll: 1. Texas 2. Alabama 3. Penn State 4. Oklahoma 5. Florida 6. USC And you realize nothing has changed. The nobles still rule. Parity is a dirty little myth. Edited by Ramsey Cox

notes the start of Fall Right before

Break, Kansas fell in four sets to Missouri last Wednesday (25-20, 25-19, 21-25, 25-19). Kansas was led by Karina Garligntons 17 kills and 12 digs for her third doubledouble of the season. Missouri only had 14 errors for the entire match, playing a clean match the whole way. The match was Kansas third annual dig for the cure match.

Fans showed their support by wearing pink t-shits. Kansas had 75 digs for the match to help out the cause for Breast cancer. Nicole Tate finished with 51 assists and 12 digs, her sixth double-double of the season. Garlington followed with her fourth double-double adding 11 digs with her match high tying 17 kills.

Four Kansas players finished with double digit digs with sophomore libero Melissa Manda leading the way with 16. Kansas also ended with three solo blocks and 14 block assists. Junior middle blocker led the team in block assists with four, while senior middle blocker Natalie Uhart took charge with two of the three solo blocks. Josh Bowe

for all 90 minutes against the Aggies and got the right bounces when it they needed them most. It was really intense, Johnson said of a game in which four yellow cards were handed out, all in the second half. I think the only thing that can compare is the Oklahoma State game. They were coming constantly at us the last five minutes or so. The Aggies began the game on the front foot as well, looking the more determined of the two sides during the opening 10 minutes. But behind its benchs encouragement, Kansas retook control through McCabes strike while limiting Texas A&M to two shots on goal and one corner in the first half. Five minutes before halftime freshman midfielder Beth West had the Aggies best opportunity of the game, thumping Hanleys left post with a curling right-footed shot. At halftime the Jayhawks shifted formations to better handle the Aggies dangerous wide play, removing freshman forward Emily Cressy for sophomore midfielder Sarah Salazar. Kansas nearly doubled its lead three minutes into the second half when freshman forward Kortney Clifton found McCabe with space in the penalty area. The Tulsa, Okla., native evaded her marker and crashed a shot off the near post to narrowly miss out on her second goal. West had another opportunity to pull Texas A&M back into the game in the 71st minute, but her header was just wide off a corner kick. The Aggies outshot the Jayhawks 17-9, but the home side led 4-3 in shots on goal. Francis said the victory ranks high on his list at Kansas. I was really proud of the kids and how hard they fought today, he said. There really wasnt a time in the game where I felt like we lapsed. Following the victory, players and coaches celebrated together before heading to Late Night in the Phog next door at Allen Fieldhouse.

Monica Dolinsky fought off an Aggie defender to slide her streaking teammate in on goal. It was a battle, and I barely got it off, Dolinksy said. I heard her yell my name, and I found her. Once McCabe latched onto Dolinskys pass, she took a touch towards the endline and unleashed a seeing-eye drive from a tight angle that nestled itself just inside the top corner of the back post for her third goal of the season. When I hit it, time went into slow motion, McCabe said. As sensational as the goal was, there was some disagreement on whether McCabe intended to cross the ball or take a crack on frame. I actually thought it was a cross, junior defender Estelle Johnson said. Ill let you talk to her about that. It looked like a cross, Francis said. But well take it. McCabe wasnt so forthcoming. When asked to reveal her true intentions, she just smiled. I dont really think it matters, she said. At the end of the day it went into the net. I think that should be what counts. Even more amazingly, the goal was only the second Texas A&M has allowed in seven Big 12 games. The Aggies (12-3-1, 5-2-1) only previous loss went to No. 2 North Carolina in College Station more than a month and a half ago. Texas A&M lost to Missouri at home on Sunday. The victory is the first in a string of five games that will decide whether or not Kansas breaks its three-year NCAA tournament drought. Beating a Top-10 team certainly boosts the Jayhawks postseason chances with four crucial games remaining. We were kind of at a turning point in our season where this was a must-win game if we wanted to get in the tournament, McCabe said. This is my third year here, and we havent made the tournament. Kansas was 8-3 before a rough 0-2-1 stretch against Colorado, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma over the last two weeks. But unlike those games, the Jayhawks defended

notes
Coach Mark Francis team postseason dreams remain intact with Fridays marquee victory over the Aggies. The victory gives the Jayhawks NCAA Tournament resume a boost, but more importantly they have solidified their spot in the conference standings. The top eight teams qualify for the Big 12 Tournament November 5-9 in San Antonio. Kansas is in seventh place on 10 points after seven games, but is six points ahead of ninth-place Baylor and Oklahoma. Kansas has now defeated three ranked teams this season; No. 20 Purdue, No. 18 UCF and No. 6 Texas A&M.

In 2004 the Jayhawks beat No. 7 Clemson 3-1 at the Jayhawk Soccer Complex and outlasted Texas A&M 1-0 in College Station on route to their only Big 12 Championship. Two years later freshman Shannon McCabe scored with 26 seconds left to cap off a wild 4-3 victory against No. 12 Duke at home. Senior Holly Gault scored twice and freshman Monica Dolinsky added another as Kansas overcame a 2-0 deficit. The Jayhawks last victory over a ranked opponent came last year against No. 18 Missouri when freshman Katie Williams scored twice to fuel a 2-1 triumph on senior day.
