From a distance, the 10 acres
of the Rockefeller Natural Prairie
in north Lawrence look like a sea
of sand. Get a little closer, and
see the sand become millions of
wheat-colored stalks, stretching
their fingers toward the sky and
blocking the vision of even the
tallest person. Get closer still,
and notice the traces of purples,
whites, blues, blacks, grays and
reds that sprinkle the landscape.
Standing in the middle of this
plot of land, which has never
been plowed, never been grazed
to stubble by domesticated ani-
mals, never been corrupted by
human hands, you are taken to a
time before settlements and agri-
culture, to a time when buffalo
roamed freely and prairie grasses
covered most of Douglas County.
Today the prairie remains con-
fined to scattered plots of land and
students and University members
are working to preserve it.
Preserving history
The prairie, in all of its simple
beauty, does not distract Kim
Hernandez, Hutchinson senior,
from her task.
She searches, scouring the
plants in front of her for a natu-
ral bouquet of white, star-shaped
petals known as tall boneset.
Almost 100 years ago, this tiny
plant, which is an immune sys-
tem stimulant, helped some of
our ancestors beat the 1918 flu
epidemic.
I found some, Hernandez
calls to her scavenging partner,
Ryan Callihan. Over here.
Callihan, Lenexa senior, joins
her and together they collect the
small petals, crush them in their
palms and extract the centimeter-
long brown seeds.
The two were joined Saturday
by about 20 other members of
KU Environs and others to collect
seeds of native prairie wildflowers
and grasses as part of an on-going
effort to restore the native prairie
that once blanketed Lawrence in
rolling fields of grasses and wild-
flowers.

The legendary Jayhawk-Tiger
rivalry is going virtual.
For the third year in a row, the
Student Alumni Leadership Board
is holding the Border Hunger
Showdown, a virtual food drive
that will take place from Nov. 1 to
the kickoff of the Kansas-Missouri
football game.
Harvesters, a community food
network in Kansas City, Mo., will be
holding the event with the Kansas
and Missouri alumni associations
to donate food throughout the
Kansas City area. Harvesters serves
26 counties in northeast Kansas
and northwest Missouri and pro-
vides meals for more than 60,000
people every week.
Unlike most food drives, the
Border Hunger Showdown takes
place mostly online. Online, dona-
tors can choose between different
sized grocery bags and cases of
soup, cereal or peanut butter.
There will also be donation sites
available in grocery stores where
people can physically donate cans
of food.
Its been a very successful cam-
paign for us every year, said Ellen
Feldhausen, director of commu-
nications for Harvesters. We are
encouraging alumni from both
schools to support their schools
and help us feed the hungry.
The first Border Hunger
Showdown took place in 2007
when the two alumni associa-
tions approached Harvesters about
|doing a food drive.
In the beginning, however, the
food drive was not primarily online.
The two alumni associations placed
collection bins around the stadium
for people to bring in cans.
People kept mistaking them for
trash cans, said Stefani Gerson,
coordinator of student programs
for the University of Kansas Alumni
Association. We ended up with all
kinds of trash in the bins and no
one really knew where to donate
their cans.
Last year, the food drive went
completely virtual to make the
donation process more efficient.
In all, the two schools collected
141,705 meals. Missouri collected
76,487 meals and Kansas ended
with 65,218 meals. Each dollar
donated is the equivalent of five
meals.
As of Sunday night, the University
had collected 375 meals while
Missouri had yet to collect any.
Feldhausen said soup kitchens,
food pantries, homeless shelters
and other agencies that helped
people in need reported up to a 40
percent increase in the number of
people needing assistance this year.
She attributed the additional need
to the recession.
While were having fun with the
competition and all that leads up to
it, we hope they will also think of
those in need, she said. The need
for emergency food assistance has
grown greatly.
People can go to www.border-
hungershowdown2009.harvesters.
org to contribute, Gerson said.
Then they can choose the school of
their choice and donate the desired
amount. They can also see how
much each school has raised so far.
You dont have to be a stu-
dent to donate, said Brent
Blazek, Lenexa senior and
president of the Student
Alumni Leadership Board.
Blazek has been helping to
promote the event. Were
just using everyones dis-
like of Missouri for a good
cause.
Blazek said online option
of the food drive was a good
way for people who didnt live
near campus to help support
their respective teams.
Last year we started out really
strong, but then lost it in the end to
Missouri, Blazek said. This year
we hope to get a fast start and keep
it going up to the end.

Student and local groups will
demonstrate on the Strong Hall
lawn this afternoon to pressure
the University administration to
protect the Baker Wetlands nature
area south of Lawrence.
The demonstrators oppose the
South Lawrence Trafficway proj-
ect, a plan to pave over the wet-
lands and build a highway circling
the city.
The project, which first emerged
in 2002, is still unfunded. It has
met with heated opposition from
environmental groups and Native
American organizations, among
others.
The University owns 20 acres
of the 640-acre wetlands area, but
does not use or actively protect the
portion it controls.
Jason Hering, president of stu-
dent environmental group Eco-
Justice, said the demonstrators
goal was to get the University to
either use the 20 acres of wetland
or to return them to the Native-
American groups concerned about
their fate.
The goal is to get attention
from the KU administration,
Hering said. Were for having
them claim and take responsibil-
ity for the wetlands.
Eco-Justice and KU Environs
collaborated with the First
Nations Student Association
and the Wetlands Preservation
Organization from Haskell Indian
Nations University to organize the
demonstration.
Hering said he expected about
200 people to attend.

1. Saudi authorities fnd
al-Qaida weapon stockpile
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Saudi
authorities have discovered large
quantities of weapons in the
capital Riyadh belonging to al-
Qaida terror network, an Interior
Ministry spokesman said Sunday.
The ofcial Saudi Press Agency
quoted Maj. Gen. Mansour
al-Turki as saying the discovery
included 281 assault rifes and 51
ammunition boxes.
Al-Turki said police learned
about the cache after investigat-
ing a group of al-Qaida suspects
arrested in August.
He said the weapons were
found buried in a vacant house in
the capital.
He said police are searching for
the owners of the house whom
they suspect of having links with
al-Qaida.
The al-Qaida terror group,
whose leader Osama bin Laden
is a Saudi, has called for attacks
on the kingdoms oil facilities as
a means of crippling both the
kingdoms economy and hurting
the West.

many hope will hasten the end of
political gridlock over control of
oil-rich Kirkuk an old dispute
between Arabs and Kurds that
has threatened Iraqs fragile
stability as U.S. troops prepare to

KU Environs is a student group
dedicated to sustainability and
promoting environmental educa-
tion. Members of the group vol-
unteered in the effort to preserve
whats left of the prairie in Douglas
County.
The prairie is a unique resource
we have, so were doing our part to
keep it, said Sara
Schenk, Omaha,
Neb., junior and
secretary for
Environs. The
prairie is part of
Kansas history.
We need to hang
on to what little
we have left.
In the 1850s,
approximately 94
percent of Douglas County was
covered in native prairie, accord-
ing to a study on native prairie
remnants released in 2005. As of
2005, only 0.5 percent of that prai-
rie remained.
Kelly Kindsher, senior scientist
at the Kansas Biological Survey
and co-author of the 2005 study,
led the group of students to the
site to collect the seeds. He said he
would store the seeds in a refrig-
erator at the Kansas Biological
Survey until April, when it came
time to plant them.
Kindscher said Kansas lost most
of its native prairie to agriculture.
He said preserving and restoring
the prairie was important not only
to the history of
Kansas, but to
existing animals
and plants that
relied on the
prairie habitat,
such as the fed-
erally endangered
meads milkweed
and the state bird,
the meadowlark.
If we dont start
protecting the prairie and their
habitat, were going to see these
species continue to decrease or
even disappear, Kindscher said.
In this decade alone, Douglas
County has lost all of its prairie
chickens to habitat loss and deg-
radation, he said.
Braving the prairie
The Environs students braved
the thorns and thistles of the
native prairie, along with its resi-
dent, often large, spiders, for three
hours to collect seeds in manila
envelopes. Kindscher
said the group col-
lected seeds from
about 30 species,
a small but impor-
tant fraction of the
200 species currently
growing on the pre-
serve.
Chelsea Paxson,
Newton junior,
searched amidst
grasses a full two feet taller than
her to find rattlesnake masters
a waist-high plant known
for its sharp, black thistles once
used by the Fox Indians to keep
rattlesnakes at bay, according to
Kindscher.
Though the rattlesnake masters,
as well as the season, prevented
any rattlesnake sightings, they
couldnt protect Paxson and her
partner, Derek Glasgow, Winfield
graduate student, from being cut
by the thistles, despite the gloves
they used to extract the seeds.
The prairie is pretty, in its
own way, Paxson said, pausing,
when youre not getting stabbed
by everything in it.
While they were
feeling the pain of
the rattlesnake mas-
ters, Emily Lubarsky,
Shawnee freshman,
collected Indian
grass seeds among
the more popular and
easily found plants
on the prairie.
Its an awesome
opportunity for KU
students to get hands-on experi-
ence with the environment and
form an attachment to a part of it
thats endangered, Lubarsky said.
The prairie isnt as showy as the
rainforest, but its just as impor-
tant.
Lubarsky partnered up
with Shade Little, husband of
Chancellor Gray-Little. He said he
joined the students to experience a
habitat hed never seen before.
It is a big part of us, even
though we dont think about it,
he said.
The seeds collected Saturday
will be planted next April along
a new cement path that winds its
way through the native prairie.
Although the trail would disrupt
some of the habitat, Kindscher
said, it would also allow the land
to be more accessible to people for
research, education and admira-
tion.
And with native prairie lining
the path, he said, people will get
a closer look at the natural beauty
this area once held.

KORSOER, Denmark The
worlds largest cruise ship cleared
a crucial obstacle Sunday, lower-
ing its smokestacks to squeeze
under a bridge in Denmark.
The Oasis of the Seas which
rises about 20 stories high
passed below the Great Belt Fixed
Link with a slim margin as it left
the Baltic Sea on its maiden voy-
age to Florida.
Bridge operators said that even
after lowering its telescopic smoke-
stacks the giant ship had less than
a 2-foot (half-meter) gap.
Hundreds of people gathered
on beaches at both ends of the
bridge, waiting for hours to watch
the brightly lit behemoth sail by
shortly after midnight (2300GMT;
7 p.m. EDT).
It was fantastic to see it glide
under the bridge. Boy, it was big,
said Kurt Hal, 56.
Company officials are banking
that its novelty will help guarantee
its success. Five times larger than
the Titanic, the $1.5 billion ship
has seven neighborhoods, an ice
rink, a small golf course and a
750-seat outdoor amphitheater. It
has 2,700 cabins and can accom-
modate 6,300 passengers and
2,100 crew members.
Accommodations include loft
cabins, with floor-to-ceiling win-
dows, and 1,600-square-foot luxu-
ry suites with balconies overlook-
ing the sea or promenades.
The liner also has four swim-
ming pools, volleyball and bas-
ketball courts, and a youth zone
with theme parks and nurseries
for children.
Oasis of the Sea, nearly 40
percent larger than the indus-
trys next-biggest ship, was con-
ceived years before the economic
downturn caused desperate cruise
lines to slash prices to fill vacant
berths.
It was built by STX Finland
for Royal Caribbean International
and left the shipyard in Finland on
Friday. Officials hadnt expected
any problems in passing the Great
Belt bridge, but traffic was stopped
for about 15 minutes as a precau-
tion when the ship approached,
Danish navy spokesman Joergen
Brand said.
Aboard the Oasis of the Seas,
project manager Toivo Ilvonen of
STX Finland confirmed that the
ship had passed under the bridge
without any incidents.
Nothing fell off, he said.
The enormous ship features
various neighborhoods parks,
squares and arenas with special
themes. One of them will be a
tropical environment, includ-
ing palm trees and vines among
the total 12,000 plants on board.
They will be planted after the ship
arrives in Fort Lauderdale.
In the stern, a 750-seat outdoor
theater modeled on an ancient
Greek amphitheater doubles
as a swimming pool by day and
an ocean front theater by night.
The pool has a diving tower with
spring boards and two 33-foot
(10-meter) high-dive platforms.
An indoor theater seats 1,300
guests.
One of the neighborhoods,
named Central Park, features a
square with boutiques, restaurants
and bars, including a bar that
moves up and down three decks,
allowing customers to get on and
off at different levels.
Once home, the $1.5 billion
floating extravaganza will have
more, if less visible, obstacles to
duck: a sagging U.S. economy,
questions about the consumer
appetite for luxury cruises and
criticism that such sailing behe-
moths are damaging to the envi-
ronment and diminish the experi-
ence of traveling.
It is due to make its U.S. debut
on Nov. 20 at its home port, Port
Everglades in Florida.

LOS ANGELES The search
for nine people missing since a
U.S. Coast Guard plane collided
with a Marine Corps helicopter
over the Pacific Ocean is now a

Sunday.
Petty Officer First Class
Allison Conroy said there was
little chance of finding survivors
among the seven military per-

C-130 and the two in the Marine
Corps AH-1W Super Cobra heli-

We always hold out some
hope, but at this point the Coast

said.
The two aircraft collided
Thursday evening as the Coast
Guard was searching for a miss-

another Cobra helicopter and two
transports on a nighttime train-
ing exercise.
The Coast Guard has begun its
investigation into the cause of the
crash, Conroy said.
Kenneth Claiborne, the father
of one of the missing crew mem-
bers on the plane, said Sunday
that his son, Marine 1st Lt.
Thomas Claiborne, had been
declared deceased. He declined
to comment further and referred
calls to a Marine spokesperson.
But the mother of Lt. Adam W.
Bryant, 28, of Crewe, Va., who
was a co-pilot on the Coast Guard
plane, said she hadnt given up
hope despite the Coast Guards
announcement.
Miracles do happen, Nina
Bryant said Sunday. Miracles

Rear Adm. Joseph Castillo said
Saturday evening that the chance
for finding survivors would be
slim, even though the service-
members had access to heat-
retaining drysuits and were in
excellent physical shape. Water
temperatures were in the low 60s
at the time of the collision.
We dont ever
want to suspend
the case prema-
turely, when there
may be some-
one out there,
Castillo had said.
But hope gets
less every day. My
hope today is not
what it was yesterday.
The Coast Guard search for the
missing boater, David Jines, 50,
was called off Saturday evening.
Nine aircraft searched over a
644-square-mile patch of ocean
in waters about 2,000 feet deep.
Debris from both aircraft was
found, but there was no sign of
the crew members.
All seven aboard the Coast
Guard plane are stationed at
the Coast Guard Air Station
in Sacramento,
Calif. Among the
other missing
crew members on
the plane were Lt.
Cmdr. Che Barnes,
35, of Capay, Calif.;
Chief Petty Officer
John F. Seidman,
43, of Carmichael,
Calif.; Petty Officer 2nd Class
Carl P. Grigonis, 35, of Mayfield
Heights, Ohio; Petty Officer 2nd
Class Monica L. Beacham, 29, of
Decaturville, Tenn.; Petty Officer
2nd Class Jason S. Moletzsky,
26, of Norristown, Pa., and Petty
Officer 3rd Class Danny R. Kreder
II, 22, of Elm Mott, Texas.
Maj. Samuel Leigh, 35, of
Belgrade, Maine, was the other
crew member on board the
Marine Corps helicopter.
These brave men and women
dedicated their lives to ensuring
our safety, and today we are tragi-
cally reminded of the dangers
they face while protecting our
state and nation, California Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a
statement Sunday. Maria and I
join all Californians in express-
ing our respect and gratitude for
their service and sadness over
their deaths.
The investigation will be
conducted jointly by the Coast
Guard and the Marine Corps,
Petty Officer Henry Dunphy said
Sunday.

Student stabbed during
Halloween costume party
A University student sufered
non-life-threatening injuries
after being stabbed at a costume
party late Saturday, according to
Lawrence police.
Lawrence Police Sgt. Bill Cory
said the 20-year-old student was
attending a party at a residence
near 13th and Ohio streets when
he became involved in an
incident with another man at
about 11 p.m. The suspect at-
tacked the victim with a knife,
causing a laceration to the
students arm. The victim was
transported to Lawrence Memo-
rial Hospital by friends, where he
received medical attention for his
injury.
The suspect had not been ap-
prehended as of Sunday after-
noon.

KHARTOUM, Sudan The
leader of southern Sudan called on
his people to vote for secession in
an upcoming referendum if they
do not want to end up as second
class citizens, as voter registration
began Sunday for elections across
the country.
Salva Kiirs first-ever call for the
mostly Christian, oil-rich south to
split off from the Muslim north
could increase tension with the
Arab-led northern government and
further strain the fragile 2005 peace
agreement that ended the more
than two decade long north-south
civil war and left more than 2 mil-
lion dead.
When you reach your ballot
boxes the choice is yours: you want
to vote for unity so that you become
a second class in your own country,
that is your choice, Kiir told wor-
shippers Saturday at the cathedral
in the southern capital of Juba.
If you want to vote for indepen-
dence so that you are a free person
in your independent state, that will
be your own choice and we will
respect the choice of the people,
he added, according to a record-
ing of the event obtained by the
Associated Press.
The civil war ended with the 2005
Comprehensive Peace Agreement
that set up a national unity govern-
ment, established an autonomous
south and stipulated the holding
of a 2011 referendum to determine
the future of the south.
The agreement also calls for all
Sudanese parties to work for unity
prior to the referendum. But the
partnership has been rocky, mostly
because of mutual distrust between
the former rivals.
Last week, Kiir, who is vice presi-
dent in the transitional govern-
ment, accused the Khartoum of
never making unity an attractive
option for the southerners and of
failing to fully implement the peace
agreement.
Mandour al-Mahdi, a member of
the ruling partys political bureau,
expressed regret over Kiirs state-
ments, calling them not befitting
of someone holding the position of
vice president in the republic.
What has been said is con-
tradictory to the Comprehensive
Peace Agreement, which calls for
favoring the option of unity, he
said, according to the official state
news agency.
Southern Sudans vice presi-
dent, Riek Machar, said the Kiirs
statements were not a change in
southern policy but rather a way
of saying that the northerners have
not made unity attractive, leaving
southerners angry.
It is an expression of how south
Sudanese people are getting frus-
trated, he told Associated Press.
People want to see the peace divi-
dends, the country reconciling and
development.

BEIJING China will set the
future direction of its ties with
Africa at a multinational forum in
Egypt this month, Foreign Minister
Yang Jiechi said Sunday.
Premier Wen Jiabao plans to
attend the Nov. 8-9 Forum on
China-Africa Cooperation in the
resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Yang
said in an interview with the offi-
cial Xinhua News Agency.
No details were given, but at the
last forum in 2006, China pledged
to double assistance to Africa by
2009, provide $5 billion in pref-
erential loans and credits, cancel
debts and establish a $5 billion
fund to encourage Chinese invest-
ment.
Yang said those goals had all
been met, while the upcoming
meeting marks another important
occasion to boost China-Africa
friendship and cooperation.
Chinas trade with Africa has
soared by a factor of 10 since 2001,
passing the $100 billion mark last
year.

Courses flling up quickly
Churches going to the Web
EduCation
RELiGion
BY RACHEL ZOLL
Associated Press
Church volunteers greet visitors
entering the lobby. The worship
band begins its set and a pastor
offers to pray privately with anyone
during the service.
When the sermon is done, its
time for communion, and the pas-
tor guides attendees through the
ritual. Later, worshippers exchange
Facebook and e-mail addresses so
they can stay in touch.
There is nothing remarkable
about this encounter, which is rep-
licated countless times each week-
end at churches around the world.
Its all happening online.
The World Wide Web has
become the hottest place to build a
church. A growing number of con-
gregations are creating Internet off-
shoots that go far beyond stream-
ing weekly services.
The sites are fully interactive,
with a dedicated Internet pastor,
live chat in an online lobby, Bible
study, one-on-one prayer through
IM and communion. (Viewers use
their own bread and wine or water
from home.) On one site, viewers
can click on a tab during worship
to accept Christ as their savior.
Flamingo Road Church, based in
Cooper City, Fla., twice conducted
long-distance baptisms through the
Internet.
The goal is to not let people
at home feel like theyre watch-
ing whats happening, but theyre
part of it. Theyre participat-
ing, said Brian Vasil, Flamingo
Roads Internet pastor.
The move online is forcing
Christians to re-examine their idea
of church. Its a complex discus-
sion involving theology, tradition
and cultural expectations of how
Christians should worship and
relate. Even developers of Internet
church sites disagree over how far
they should go. Many, for example,
will only conduct baptisms in per-
son.
The critics say that true Christian
community ultimately requires in-
person interaction. They deride the
sites as religious fast food.
But advocates consider the
Internet just another neighbor-
hood where real relationships can
be built. Rob Wegner, a pastor at
Granger Community Church of
Indiana, calls the Web the churchs
front porch. Pastors who back the
sites say they feel a religious duty
to this new way for reaching the
spiritually lost.

Call commutes three hours
roundtrip to his anatomy class at
community college because simi-
lar courses on campuses closer to
his Indianapolis home are packed

Classes around the state were

student who takes the rest of his
classes in Indianapolis. Thank
God its only Tuesdays. I just have
to drive there once a week.
President Barack Obama wants
to invest some $12 billion in com-
munity colleges with the aim of
seeing an additional 5 million
students graduate by 2020. This
goal comes while many schools
are already bursting at the seams
with droves of displaced workers
hit by the recession competing
with traditional students seeking
an education bargain.
All community colleges are
not prepared to take on those
potentially large numbers of stu-
dents, said Debra Bragg, a pro-
fessor and director of the Forum
on the Future of Public Education
at the University of Illinois.
The Obama administration
notes that 5 million more com-
munity college graduates doesnt
necessarily mean there will be that
many more students schools
could increase graduation rates
to reach the goal. And the admin-
istration says money from the
10-year initiative to rebuild aging
facilities and establish online
classes would help schools handle
the extra students.
Bragg says the schools ability
to deal with more students largely
comes down to cash.
Much of the money for the
nations 1,200 community col-
leges comes from local and state
sources. That funding has been
hard to come by during the
economic downturn, even as
enrollment booms. In California,
community colleges are strug-
gling to cope with $840 million
in budget cuts while enrollment
is expected to climb.
Obamas 10-year initiative
would provide a welcome infu-
sion of cash, but some fear it
would not sustain community
college programs.
They will be constrained by
funding, says Bragg. It could be
potentially extremely challenging
if theres not increased funding at
the federal, state and local level to
make that happen.
The conundrum comes at a
time of intense
growth for the
more than cen-
tury-old com-
munity college
system, which
already edu-
cates more than
half the nations
undergraduates.
A n d
more young
Americans than ever are going
to college, particularly commu-
nity college. A record high of
about 11.5 million Americans age
18 to 24, or nearly 40 percent,
attended college in October 2008,
according to a study of Census
data recently released by the Pew
Research Center. Almost all of the
increase of 300,000 students over
the previous year came at two-
year schools.
About 12 percent of 18- to
24-year-olds were enrolled in
community colleges last year, up
from 10.9 percent in 2007.
Enrollment numbers are not yet
available for the fall 2009 semes-
ter, but the American Association
of Community Colleges estimates
enrollment is up at least 10 per-
cent over 2008. Some schools
have reported increases of 25 to
30 percent.
Michael Hansen, president
of the Michigan Community
College Association, says classes
in popular fields such as nurs-
ing require low student-to-faculty
ratios and expensive equipment.
He is concerned it will be difficult
to meet new demand without yet
more funding.
Its a little bit of a bittersweet
pill, Hansen said. Its great that
people are coming back to com-
munity colleges to get trained,
but a student only brings about a
third of the cost of their tuition.
Ivy Tech Community College
President Thomas Snyder says his
school can handle more growth
in part by finding
savings internally
and relying on phil-
anthropic and com-
munity donations.
The school will not
expand too much
and find itself with
empty classrooms if
an economic turn-
around slows future
enrollment.
Were cautious in making sure
that we dont make expenditures
on staffing, for example, or other
critical areas that we cant sus-
tain, Snyder says.
While officials wait to see
whether Obamas plan will
become reality, community col-
leges are turning to creative
though not always convenient
ways to cope with already large
crowds.

Scandals may pose problems for Scientology, experts say
relIgIoN
BY ERIC GORSKI
Associated Press
The Church of Scientology is
going through a difficult season.
Over the course of two days last
week, a French court convicted the
church of fraud and Oscar-winning
filmmaker Paul Haggis resigna-
tion from the church over a litany
of concerns was aired publicly.
On one hand, it was just another
bad press week for the embattled
institution founded in 1953 by the
late science fiction writer L. Ron
Hubbard.
But for former Scientologists
and scholars of the movement, the
setbacks pose a greater challenge
coming on the heels of defections of
top-level Scientologists who lifted a
veil of secrecy on the organization
and alleged a culture of violence
and control under Hubbards suc-
cessor, David Miscavige.
With any organization, the loss
of a substantial number of your
most experienced people and chaos
at the upper levels is problematic,
said David Bromley, a Virginia
Commonwealth University pro-
fessor who studies new religious
movements and has written on
Scientology. There are PR impli-
cations, the possibility of legal
actions ... That dwarfs the other
things.
The church has strenuously
denied the allegations against
Miscavige, portraying the accusers
as lying disgruntled ex-employees.
Church spokesman Tommy
Davis said Scientology is flour-
ishing, with more than 8,000
Scientology churches, missions and
groups in 160-plus nations. He said
assets and property holdings have
doubled over the past five years,
including a new church in Rome
and another opening this weekend
in Washington, D.C.
From our perspective, things are
going pretty great, Davis said. In
fact, thats downplaying it. Actually,
whats happening with the church
right now is frankly spectacular. To
the degree there are these various
things happening, it really is a lot
of noise.
One major survey of American
religion shows Scientology declin-
ing in the U.S., however. The esti-
mated number of Americans who
identify as Scientologists rose from
45,000 in 1990 to 55,000 in 2001,
then plummeted to 25,000 in 2008,
according to the American Religion
Identification Survey.
Davis said that while the church

and growing in the U.S.
Scientology has long been con-
troversial. The Internal Revenue
Service granted the church tax
exemption in 1993 after a nearly
four-decade battle over whether
it should be considered a religion.
Critics say Scientology is a busi-
ness, preying on people by charg-
ing exorbitant sums for services.
The church continues to fasci-
nate, fueled by interest in celeb-
rity adherents such as Tom Cruise,
John Travolta and Kirstie Alley,
as well as beliefs that dont fit into
typical American religious boxes.
Hubbard taught that the thetan,
the equivalent of a spirit, can be
cleared of negative energy from
this and previ-
ous lives through a process called
auditing. With the aid of auditors,
Scientologists seek a state called
Clear and then advance through
various levels of Operating
Thetan.
The allegations of violence were
leveled by four former high-rank-
ing Scientology executives who told
their stories to the St. Petersburg
Times last summer. The executives
said they witnessed Miscavige,
chairman of the board that over-
sees the church, hit staff members
dozens of times and urged others
to do the same.
Davis called the allegations
absolutely, unquestionably false
and sickening and outrageous.
ABCs Nightline aired a report
this month covering much of the
Confetti swirls as
actor TomCruise, left,
embraces Church of
Scientology leader
David Miscavige
during the opening of
a Scientology church
in Madrid on Sept.
18, 2004. The churchs
recent setbacks a
fraud conviction in
France and high-
profle defections
have the group
on the defensive.

Not an option
Ben Cohens Politically
Correct column in favor of the
public option is an ever more
frequent insight into stage-fve
liberal dementia. Te public
option is not a good idea. It will
not guarantee us coverage until
we could aford it ourselves. If
coverage is defned as the govern-
ment telling you what sicknesses
you can be treated for, long waits
for simple surgeries and small
businesses collapsing because of
mandatory health coverage costs,
then, empirically, coverage will be
guaranteed.
Tese problems didnt arise in
some distant land, they occurred
in Massachusetts within one year
of state law mandating health
insurance for all. Within two
minutes of searching on ehealth-
insurance.com I found more than
70 health insurance plans for $27
a month and more, or four hours
of work if you make minimum
wage. Most 19- to 29-year-olds
forgo purchasing health insurance
because they dont think they will
get sick, not because they cant
aford it.
Lastly, the public option will
not create competition it
will destroy it. How can private
insurers compete with this new
player who doesnt have to worry
about costs or having a proft
margin? Its simple private
insurers cant charge a price below
their costs and then tax all of us
to make up the diference. Te
government can.
President Barack Obama, Sen-
ate Majority Leader Harry Reid
and Speaker of the House Nancy
Pelosi have spoken of their desire
for single-payer government
health care on record several
times. Te public option is not a
mere player its Obamas step-
ping stone to socialized health
care. Competing with the public
option is comparable to wanting
to go to Quintons tonight but
realizing you have insufcient
dinero in your ATM to fnance
another night of debauchery.
Meanwhile, the government also
wants to go to Quintons, checks
their bank account at an ATM,
realizes its overdrawn $11 trillion
and decides to buy all of Mas-
sachusetts Street anyway.

Oread Inn cell towers
higher than expected
Domestic violence revealed
T
he Oread Inn has added
a new piece to Lawrences
skyline, but it may be
an even bigger piece than was
originally thought. With the new
hotel already 33 feet higher than
originally planned, builders should
continue with caution because of
the hotels proximity to campus and
a historic district.
The original drawings of the
hotel showed the four flagpoles
on top of the building as being
33 feet shorter than their current
length. The flagpoles, which also
will serve as cellular phone towers,
add significant height to the
building, bringing the total height
to 156 feet. This increased height
was mentioned in a technical note
submitted with the plan but was
not shown in the drawings.
City Planning Director Scott
McCullough noted that though
the increased height
caused some concern,
it was indeed a part of
the governing bodys
survey of the plans.
The building
itself went through
a public process and they were
not concerned with the height,
McCullough said. I hope theres
not a perception that it is meant to
compete with other buildings in
the area.
The construction of the Oread
Inn has faced opposition in the
past, but no complaints have
had a significant effect. Initially,
Student Senate voted on a thin
22-30 margin to reject a resolution
against the Oread Inn. In addition
to Student Senates support, city
commissioners voted unanimously
to approve the ambitious project.
But now, it is evident the public
should have been better informed
about the technicalities
of the plans.
Even with the
recent height detail
coming into focus,
McCullough said he
was looking forward to
seeing the buildings completion.
The detail was approved by
the governing body, and it wasnt
overlooked, McCullough said. As
I recall, there were no questions
about it, and as I understood, the
commission knew what it was,
that it included larger flagpoles,
and there were no questions raised
about the height.
The commission might have
known how large they would be,
but because it was a technical note,
it could have been misleading to
the public.
The Oread Inn is a valuable new
part of the city and the University.
Its construction will bring in
revenue and add a new dynamic to
an already historic area. However,
the increased height of the hotel
adds a new point of focus to the
historic Lawrence skyline, and in
doing so, is a competing focal point
with other campus buildings, most
notably the flags atop Fraser Hall.
The visual center of campus for
visitors and community members
should be one of the oldest
academic buildings on campus as
opposed to an off-campus business.

A not-so-Christian nation
reLiGiOn
I
n his song With God on
our Side, a disillusioned Bob
Dylan wrestles with Americas
past identity as a Christian nation,
questioning whether God was
using America or if America
was using God. In doing so,
he underscores a theme of the
American mythos as old as the
nation itself.
The relationship between faith
and politics in America has long
been contentious. Presidents
have invoked God to justify
policies. Religion, particularly
evangelicalism, has invoked
America to broaden influence,
while the cry for separation
between the two has never been
louder.
If the debate about church and
state seems perennial in todays
public forum, a historical look
at the Christian church might
explain why.
At its outset, Christianity was
not only separate from the state,
it was illegal. On the fringes of
the Roman Empire, adherents
gathered in secrecy to avoid
persecution or worse.
Yet, under such marginalization,
the faith thrived, growing vastly
in numbers and in aid to the
poor. Unlike evangelicals today,
adherents never sought influence
through political means. Early
followers were even pacifists,
protesting Roman military drafts
of the day. To them, holy war
seemed an oxymoron.
Then in the fourth century,
Emperor Theodosius I adopted
Christianity as the official religion
of the Roman Empire. For the first
time, the church was in bed with
the state. Christianity was plunged
to the forefront of government
affairs and the Western world
changed forever.
This intertwining of sacred
and state altered the churchs
stance on many issues, including
pacifism. Crosses were plastered
on the front of shields and wars
were first waged for a prince of
peace. Religious faith became not
an active personal decision, but a
passive collective assumption.
Rome, like America after it,
appeared to have God on its side.
Historian David L. Holmes
concludes that none of Americas
first five presidents were Christian
in any conventional sense. Yet a
Christian America has remained
prevalent in the minds of many
throughout history, perhaps with
more fingerprints of Rome than
they would care to admit.
In his book Myth of a
Christian Nation, Dr. Gregory
Boyd notes historys effect on the
American mythos.
We have tended to believe that
Gods will was manifested in the
conquest and founding of our
country, he writes. The truth is
that the concept of America as a
Christian nation is losing its grip
on the collective psyche.
If Boyds assertion is true, and if
history is any teacher, perhaps its
reason for Americans both sacred
and secular to rejoice.
Though the constitution
nowhere mentions separation of
church and state, it does promise
a government free of religious
bias. The more pluralistic America
Boyd foresees would more
accurately reflect the diversity of
worldviews in American society,
as well as the constitutional
framers intent.
As for the church, perhaps
finally shedding the stigma of
a Christian nation and the
shadow of Rome would set
communities of faith free, enabling
them to reach out and focus where
they always have best: along the
margins of society. Indeed, it is
there that Mother Teresa visited
far more lepers than politicians.

T
his week is Domestic
Violence Awareness
Week at the University
of Kansas. The student group
Delta Force will be spearheading
a campaign to educate students
and community members about
domestic violence, and several
other student organizations
and community groups are
co-sponsoring the event.
A week of education about
domestic violence is important
because its extremely pertinent to
the daily lives of many people at
the University and in Lawrence.
A lot of people dont
understand how prevalent it is,
Liz Stuewe, Lawrence senior and
member of Delta Force, said.
A survey done in 2000 by the
National Institute of Justice and
the Centers of Disease Control
and Prevention found that one
in four women is a victim of
domestic violence. The National
Coalition Against Domestic
Violence Web site said most cases
of domestic violence were not
reported to the police.
Until I started learning
about the advocacy groups on
campus and what they planned
to do during Domestic Violence
Awareness Week, I did not know
much about domestic violence.
I dont think many students
think about it until they or
someone they know experiences
it firsthand.
It seems this problem is
only made worse by common
misconceptions about domestic
violence.
The overarching stereotype is
so often between a husband and a
wife, Stuewe said.
Stuewe explained that
domestic violence happened in
non-marital relationships, LGBT
relationships, between family
members and even between
roommates.
Another seemingly widespread
fallacy is that domestic violence
constitutes mainly physical abuse.
I believe that domestic
violence is any abuse, albeit
verbal or physical, that takes
place in the confines of a
situation where one person feels
like the other one has more
power in a relationship, Tanner
Willbanks, Hayes senior, said.
Willbanks is the domestic
violence outreach coordinator for
the Commission on the Status
of Women, one of the groups
spreading awareness during
Domestic Violence Week.
Domestic abuse often occurs in
relationships where one partner
tends to be more dominant than
the other, Willbanks said.
Another big misconception
when it comes to domestic
violence in particular is that, well,
if its that bad, she can just leave
or he can just leave, Willbanks
said. Thats not really the case.
These people have been pretty
much terrorized to the point that
they dont see a way out, and
part of the abuse is usually their
partner convincing them that
there is no way out.
It is my hope that students will
take time to educate themselves
about domestic violence so if
they find themselves in violent
situations, they can recognize
it and remove themselves
immediately.
Other groups involved in
Domestic Violence Awareness
Week include KU Young
Democrats, Queers and Allies,
Amnesty International, KU
College Republicans, Alpha
Chi Omega, The Emily Taylor
Womens Resource Center,
Womens Transitional Care
Services and the GaDuGi Safe
Center.
For information on the weeks
schedule, students should stop
by the informational tables that
will be on the lawn in front of
Stauffer-Flint Hall this week.

Mideast peace talks stall
Afghan presidential challenger exits race
INTERNATIONAL
INTERNATIONAL
BY AMY TEIBEL
Associated Press
JERUSALEM The Palestinians
on Sunday accused U.S. Secretary
of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
of undermining progress toward
Mideast peace talks after she praised
Israel for offering to curb some
Jewish settlement construction.
After meeting Israeli and
Palestinian leaders during a visit
Saturday, Clinton called for an
unconditional resumption of peace
talks and welcomed Israels offer for
a slowdown in settlement activity.
But Palestinians rejected the idea
of resuming talks, reiterating their
demand that Israel
must first freeze
all construction of
Jewish settlements
in the West Bank
and east Jerusalem
lands they claim
for a future state.
I believe that
the U.S. condones
continued settle-
ment expansion,
Palestinian gov-
ernment spokesman Ghassan
Khatib said in a rare public
chiding of Washington.
Calling for a resumption of
n e g o t i a t i o n s
despite continued
settlement con-
struction doesnt
help because we
have tried this
way many times,
Khatib added.
Negotiations are
about ending the
occupation and
settlement expan-
sion is about
entrenching the occupation.
Palestinians expressed deep dis-
appointment and frustration at
Clintons words, which signaled a
departure from past U.S. calls for a
complete freeze on settlement activ-
ity.
If America cannot get Israel to
implement a settlement freeze, what
chance do Palestinians have of reach-
ing agreement with Israel on per-
manent status issues? Palestinian
negotiator Saeb Erekat said.
Similar sentiments were voiced
by Jordan and Egypt, the only two
Arab countries to have peace agree-
ments with Israel. The two countries
said most of the blame lay with
Israel, but signaled their unhappi-
ness with the American shift.
Jordans King Abdullah II trav-
eled to Cairo for talks with Egyptian
President Hosni Mubarak. After the
meeting, a royal palace statement
released in Jordan said both lead-
ers insisted on the need for an
immediate halt of all Israeli unilat-
eral actions, which undermine the
chances of achieving peace, espe-
cially the settlement construction.
Clinton is set to meet with Arab
foreign ministers in Morocco in the
coming days.

KABUL President Hamid
Karzai was efectively handed a
second fve-year term Sunday
when his only challenger dropped
out of the race, and the Obama ad-
ministration said it was prepared
to work with the man it has pre-
viously criticized to combat cor-
ruption and confront the Taliban
insurgency.
President Barack Obama has
been waiting for a new government
in Kabul to announce whether he
will send tens of thousands of new
troops to Afghanistan. Te war has
intensifed and October was the
deadliest month of the eight-year
war for U.S. forces.
Former Foreign Minister Ab-
dullah Abdullah announced his
decision to quit six days before the
runof election, afer last-minute
talks led by the U.S. and United
Nations failed to produce a pow-
er-sharing agreement acceptable
to Karzai, according to a Western
diplomat who spoke on condition
of anonymity because of the sensi-
tivity of the negotiations.
In an emotional speech, Abdul-
lah told supporters that he could
not accept a runof led by the same
Karzai-appointed election com-
mission that managed the fraud-
marred vote in August. Te runof
was set for Nov. 7 afer U.N.-backed
auditors annulled nearly a third of
Karzais votes as fakes.
I will not participate in the
Nov. 7 election, Abdullah said,
because a transparent election is
not possible.
Te Obama administration,
which had been critical of Karzais
leadership, appeared to accept the
outcome.
Senior Obama adviser David
Axelrod said most polls showed
Abdullah would have lost the
runof anyway so we are going to
deal with the government that is
there.
And obviously there are issues
we need to discuss, such as reduc-
ing the high level of corruption,
Axelrod said on Face the Nation.
Tese are issues well take up with
President Karzai.
Secretary of State Hillary Clin-
ton congratulated Abdullah for a
dignifed and constructive cam-
paign and said the U.S. will sup-
port the next president and the
people of Afghanistan, who seek
and deserve a better future.
Obama is still weeks away from
deciding whether to send more
troops. Top White House advisers
said Obamas painstaking review,
ongoing since early September,
would not be hampered by Abdul-
lahs withdrawal.
About 68,000 American troops
already have been ordered to re-
port to Afghanistan by the end of
the year.
Te top U.S. and NATO com-
mander in Afghanistan, Army
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, wants
the Pentagon to send him an ad-
ditional 40,000 troops to prevent
the Taliban from letting al-Qaida
once again use Afghanistan as a
haven as it was in the days lead-
ing up to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror
attacks.
Despite misgivings over Karzai,
the U.S. has little choice but to
support a leader who was once the
toast of Washington for his charm,
his fuent English and his role as a
conciliator in the wake of the Tali-
ban collapse. Fluent in both major
Afghan languages, he could reach
out to diferent ethnic groups, in-
cluding his fellow Pashtuns who
also form the overwhelming ma-
jority of the Taliban.
But critics say he has been reluc-
tant to rein in some of the former
warlords whose support he sought
to bolster his own political power
but who are allegedly responsible
for much of the corruption that
plagues the government.
His own half-brother Ahmed
Wali Karzai has been rumored
to be involved in the drug trade,
charges that he vigorously denies.
Karzai insists he fell out of favor
in Washington when he openly
criticized U.S. military tactics, in-
cluding the heavy use of air power
that has killed many civilians. Mc-
Chrystal has ordered troops to use
air power sparingly to avoid turn-
ing Afghans against the NATO
mission.
Abdullah stopped short of call-
ing on supporters to boycott the
polls a move U.S. ofcials feared
would have enfamed tensions. He
also urged his followers not to go
into the streets to protest the elec-
tion.
Te people have the right to
have a fair election, Abdullah
said. But this election was a fail-
ure. It was not independent. It was
not transparent.
Karzais campaign spokesman,
Waheed Omar, said it was very
unfortunate that Abdullah had
withdrawn but insisted that the
Saturday runof should proceed as
planned.
We believe that the elections
have to go on, the process has to
complete itself, the people of Af-
ghanistan have to be given the
right to vote, Omar said.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Afghanistans presidential challenger Abdullah Abdullah announced his decision not to
participate in Afghanistans runof election during a press conference in Kabul, Afghanistan, Sun-
day. Abdullah efectively handed a victory to his opponent, incumbent President Hamid Karzai.
Calling for a resumption
of negotiations despite
continued settlement
construction doesnt help
because we have tried
this way many times.

Lubbock, Texas Todd
Reesings senior campaign the
fnal go-around for one of kansas
biggest playmakers of all time
has struck an abrupt and rather
unexpected road block.
Te senior quarterback with the
fair for the dramatic, the one who
led kansas to an orange bowl vic-
tory and who has delivered in the
clutch countless times before was
benched.
Yes, on the plains of Texas and
in front of a less-than-capacity
crowd, Reesing stood on the side-
line while freshman kale Pick
jogged to take his place for the f-
nal seven minutes of a 42-21 loss
that completely unraveled in the
fourth quarter.
He was not able to get anything
moving or at least consistently,
coach Mark Mangino said. We
just felt like, Give kale Pick a
shot.
Te decision lef Reesing and his
teammates somewhat surprised.
I was, Im not gonna lie, Re-
esing said. at that point we were
two possessions down, but by no
means was the game over. Its not
my decision obviously. I gave them
a reason.
still, when senior wide receiver
kerry Meier joined kansas huddle
in the fourth quarter and didnt see
the No. 5 jersey, he was admittedly
startled.
I was kind of confused at frst,
Meier said. I thought they had
pulled him because he got banged
or hit one of those plays. He was
getting hit quite a bit throughout
the whole game. Ten we come
out for a series and I see kale in
the huddle. I didnt know what was
going on.
Reesings mistakes have always
been tolerated, simply justifed as
an important part of the quarter-
backs home-run mentality. With-
out it, teammates
and coaches said,
Reesing couldnt
compete at his
highest level.
and it all be-
came part of Re-
esings easy-to-
root-for persona
the one fans
latched and held
on to afer Rees-
ing led kansas to a comeback vic-
tory against colorado in his frst
game in 2006.
Yet for the third consecutive
game, Reesing produced costly
miscues, which resulted in points
for kansas opponents. on top
of that, Reesing struggled to fnd
receivers and couldnt efectively
move the ofense throughout the
game.
Tis time Mangino simply de-
cided enough was enough.
Im at a loss for words to un-
derstand what has happened the
last two weeks, Reesing said.
Leaning against a white wall in a
tiny makeshif inter-
view room, Reesing
admitted that he suf-
fered a groin injury
against colorado that
has continued to nag
him.
as Reesing not-
ed afer the game,
though, he wasnt re-
placed because of an
injury, which he said
didnt hinder his performance. In-
stead, it was his less-than-average
performance that kept him plant-
ed on the sideline.
True, Reesings tale is undoubt-
edly the headline and most promi-
nent story from saturdays disap-
pointing fnish. but the burden of
the loss is not Reesings alone.
Far from it, in fact.
If it was just him, I would have
taken him out of the game a long
time ago and put kale Pick in,
Mangino said. but its not just
him. Youve got receivers, veteran
guys, dropping passes all over the
feld. and I dont like it. Its not the
way we play football at kansas. Its
not how we do things here.
kansas ofense the unit ex-
pected to carry the Jayhawks this
year struggled as a whole from
start to fnish on saturday.
Reesing completed 20 of 35
passes for just 181 yards. He also
had two fumbles.
Junior wide receiver Dezmon
briscoe had an uncharacteristic
number of drops and the usually
sure-handed Meier fumbled deep
in kansas territory, setting up a
Texas Tech touchdown.
kansas lost four fumbles in the
game.
D
own by two scores with
more than seven minutes
lef in the game, Todd
Reesing the quarterback of
myriad miraculous comebacks
was benched.
Let that simmer for a moment.
Freshman quarterback kale Pick
supplanted the man who foated
the game-winner in the snow at
arrowhead stadium a year ago
in the border showdown. Nearly
every notable school passing re-
cord stood on the sideline, helmet
unsnapped and pulled above his
forehead.
Joining Reesing on the bench
were the expectations of what
the culmination of the respective
careers from one of the programs
more distinguished senior classes
would entail.
Texas Tech 42, kansas 21.
Te quarterback who engi-
neered a historic 12-1 orange
bowl season as a sophomore, the
senior wide receiver who humbly
accepted being replaced as signal
caller and the junior pass catcher
who seemed a lock for an NFL
roster spot were among those who
again were humbled and at times
embarrassed.

tory awaits may need amending
as hopes of a big 12 North title
and higher aspirations are all
but history.

someone forgot to tell aishah
sutherland that this was Danielle
Mccrays team.
Te wiry forward had a coming
out party in yesterdays opening
exhibition game against Pittsburg
state, tallying 20 points and nine
rebounds in the frst half alone.
Te sophomore showcased her
premier athleticism right of the
bat, dominating the paint with
powerful lay-ups and forceful re-
bounding. she ran wild in transi-
tions, leading to easy baskets on
the other end. With senior guard
sade Morris benched because of
foul trouble, sutherland and se-
nior guard and forward Danielle
Mccray displayed an unstoppable
inside-outside tandem.
It causes the guards to suck in
and try to get something inside,
Mccray said.
sutherlands dominance leaves
opposing defenses with a trou-
bling question.
are you gonna leave Danielle
and sade to go double? coach
bonnie Henrickson said.
once the defense is drawn to
sutherland, in other words, its
bombs away for Mccray and Mor-
ris.
but the game didnt start as
smoothly as the 86-56 fnal score
implies. Te frst exhibition game
of the year for kansas womens
basketball justly ft its title. each
team kicked of the contest slop-
pily, with basketballs soaring out
of bounds as if they were mag-
netically repellent from the play-
ers hands. contact-heavy fouls
were frequent and jump shots
clunked of of an unforgiving
rim. Te opening four minutes of
the game were polluted with 11
total turnovers (eight from Pitts-
burg state, three from kansas).
but the chaos cooled down and
sutherland took over.
In her frst ten minutes of play,
sutherland went six for six from
the feld and two for two from
the stripe. she collected fve re-
bounds. she had no turnovers and
only one foul. Pittsburg state sim-
ply had no answer for the 6-foot-2
slasher with twisting tree branches
for arms.
she just outperformed every-
body at her position, Henrickson
said.
Te only time sutherland
showed any shyness on the foor
was afer she snagged a rebound
from a Mccray miss. as she swiv-
eled her body and soared towards
the hoop for the put-back, suther-
lands trademark white headband
popped of her head and to the
foor and her shot was blocked.
Teres just something about
my headband, sutherland said
later.
Redshirt freshman point guard
angel Goodrich showed fashes of
brilliance with 10 assists but was
also bitten by the turnover bug.
If the clairvoyant passer can take
care of the ball, she will continue
to feed the bevy of scorers that
Henrickson has at her disposal.
she sees things that most play-
ers dont, Henrickson said. Te
post players benefted the most
from how angel can play.
co-captain Nicollette smith
provided a gritty and versatile
spark of the bench, spreading the
foor with her range and fnishing
with 12 points and 8 rebounds.
It spaces people, Henrick-
son said. Whats good about Nic
and aishah is that they dont play
alike.
Mccray and center krysten
boogaard took over in the second
half, scoring 21 of the frst 23 kan-
sas points.
but its the two new pieces, Goo-
drich and sutherland, that can ful-
ly confgure the fve piece puzzle.
Tis a team thats got to
recognize to get up and push
and be athletic in transition,
Henrickson said.

coverage of Kansas football
game Saturday as Clark Goble (@

he could within the restraints of
140 characters. Below are a few
examples of what you might have
missed:
Not too many press boxes
where more than one reporter is
sporting a cowboy hat. Lubbock,
Texas everybody!
End of the first quarter, 7-0
KU. Expected at least one offensive
touchdown. I still think the offens-
es will get going soon. #kufball
(Ed.: Clark has tried to pioneer The
Kansans usage of hashtagging. He
has since seen the number of follow-
ers swell to 95 as a result.)
61-yard pass from Doege to
Detron Lewis for the touchdown,
7-7. That just might open the
offensive floodgates.
Um... maybe that touchdown
pass only opened Texas Techs
floodgates. Three plays to Sharp
leads to Rojas punt.
Im all for getting the right
calls, but sometimes you just need
to trust the referees decision.
These stoppages kill the games
rhythm.
Texas Tech scores on two yard
run. Of course, play is reviewed.
Lets just create robot referees,
were pretty much there already.
#kufball
Halftime, 14-14. Not the game
I anticipated. Whichever offense
gets going in the second half will
win. If neither do, it wont be
pretty.
Missing: 21-24 year old male,
blonde hair, very laid back and
relaxed. Oh wait, theres Kerry
Meier. Never mind, my mistake.
#kufball
Reesing avoids tackler and
finds Dez Briscoe wide open in the
back of the endzone. 21-14 KU.
Now that was 2008 Reesing-esque.
#kufball (Ed.: My, how quickly
things can and did change...)
Fourth and goal at the KU goal
line. Big play obviously.
Batch finds the endzone, 21-21.
11 minutes left, and were back to
square one.
Reesing connects with Meier
for just the second time thus far,
but Meier fumbles trying to gain
extra yards. TTU ball at KU 29.
With that kind of room, half of
the University could have scored
that touchdown. 28-21 TTU. Little
under 9 minutes left. #kufball
Huh. Reesing fumbles snap on
fourth-and-one and TTU scram-
bles for the touchdown, 35-21.
Kale Pick.
Final score: 42-21 TTU. Itll B
interesting 2 hear Manginos ratio-
nale 4 benching Sparky, enough
was enough or was Pick the better
option?

No. 1 recruit visits campus,
spends time with team
The Rivals.com No. 1 basket-
ball recruit for 2010 made his
ofcial visit to Lawrence this
weekend.
Brandon Knight, the 6-3,
185-pound guard from Pine
Crest High School in Fort Lauder-
dale, Fla., arrived Thursday, left
Sunday and spent much of his
time with the mens basketball
team. His father, Efrem Knight,
said Brandon was pleased with
his time here. Efrem said Kansas
coach Bill Self and the practices
he conducts were big factors in
his sons visit.
Coach Self was basically
himself this weekend, Efrem told
Shay Wildeboor, senior writer for
Rivals.com. He was just himself,
which we liked. I liked watch-
ing practice during the visit.
The practice at Kansas was very
intense. That is one part of the
visit that stood out to me.
Knight averaged 31.8 points,
8.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists a
game last year for the Pine Crest
Panthers.
Knights visit made up for a
visit that was originally sched-
uled for Late Night in the Phog
because the event conficted
with his high schools homecom-
ing. Knight has already visited
Kentucky and Connecticut, and
Florida, Miami-FL and Syracuse
are left on the list of potential
visits.
Efrem told Rivals.com that
Brandon, a fve-star recruit,
thought Kansas was still an op-
tion after the visit. Efrem said the
weekend spent in Lawrence was
well worth it, regardless.
Brandon didnt have just one
host this weekend, Efrem said.
He hung out with all of the guys
on the team. I know he liked the
trainer at Kansas. I think that part
of the visit impressed him. The
school is a great school. Kansas
is a great place and Brandon re-
ally liked his visit.

NEW YORK Texas is back to

The Longhorns jumped Ala-
bama and landed right behind
top-ranked Florida on Sunday, a
day after winning 41-14 at Okla-

week this season, received 38 frst-
place votes after a 41-17 victory
over Georgia.
The Longhorns started the
season ranked second, but have
been No. 3 behind the Gators and
Crimson Tide the last three weeks.
Texas received 13 frst-place votes
from the media panel. Many
voters were swayed by the ease
with which Longhorns handled
Oklahoma State.
Doug Lesmerises of the Cleve-

from No. 3 to No. 1, past both
Florida and Alabama.
The Longhorns havent had
the same type of struggles that
Florida and Alabama have experi-

games, and a blowout win over
their toughest opponent of the

Johnsons slur suspension
cut in half, agent says
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Larry
Johnsons agent said he and the
Kansas City Chiefs agreed Sat-
urday night to cut the running
backs two-week suspension
in half, saving him more than
$300,000.
Peter Schafer told The As-
sociated Press that nothing had
been signed.
Weve been working hard at
it since Thursday, Schafer said.
We think we have a positive
resolution and well be able to
move forward in the right direc-
tion.
The Chiefs suspended John-
son for two weeks until Nov. 9
for what they called conduct
detrimental to the club. It would
include only one game, Nov. 8 at
Jacksonville, because this is their
bye week.
On his Twitter account last
Sunday night and then again
the next day speaking to report-
ers, Johnson used gay slurs. It
triggered quick reaction from
gay rights groups demanding
that he be punished. In another
tweet, he also questioned Chiefs
coach Todd Haleys competence.
The two-week absence would
cost him about $630,000. He
might still face punishment
from the league.
The Chiefs have consistently
said they would have no com-
ment on the situation and a
spokesman told AP Saturday
night the club had nothing to
say.
Johnson, who turns 30 this
month, needs only 75 yards
to become the Chiefs career
leader.

A weekend of triumph fol-
lowed by confusion resulted in
the Kansas soccer team taking an
early trip to San Antonio to play an
unprecedented play-in game today
for a Big 12 Tournament berth.
After an unforgettable 3-2 victo-
ry against No. 20 Missouri Friday
on Senior Day, Kansas (12-7-1,
4-6 Big 12) ended in a three-way
tie for seventh place in the Big
12 Conference
standings with
Baylor (8-5-5,
3-4-3 Big 12) and
Texas Tech (8-8-
3, 3-4-3 Big 12).
Only two teams
could advance to
the tournament
and the confer-
ence announced
that Baylor and
Kansas would advance because of
a four-step tiebreaker.
But Saturday afternoon the Big
12 reconsidered that ruling, saying
in a statement that the rule to break
the three-way tie was open to
interpretation and can be applied
in different ways. So it ruled that
Kansas and Texas Tech would par-
ticipate in a play-in game Monday
night in San Antonio to decide who
would receive the eighth and final
spot in the tournament. This is the
first time such a play-in match has
been used to determine entrance
into the Big 12 Tournament.
Coach Mark Francis said
he thought his team had been
eliminated after Fridays results.
According to Francis, the confer-
ences initial decision was based on
a misinterpretation of goal differ-
ential, or the difference between
the amount of goals a team scores
and allows. The Big 12 only count-
ed goals in games between the
three teams in their initial ruling,
whereas Texas Tech appealed that
the goal differential should apply
to the entire season.
We shouldnt be playing right
now, Francis said. If theyd
applied the goal differential prop-
erly, we would have been out. They
made a mistake, and because of
their mistake, were still playing.
The ruling meant
the Jayhawks had to
leave for San Antonio
early Sunday morn-
ing to prepare for
todays game. Francis
said his team han-
dled the quick turn-
around fine and was
excited to still be
playing.
Todays game will
be a rematch of an Oct. 9 match
that Kansas won 3-2 in Lawrence.
Texas Tech is coming off a 200-min-
ute scoreless streak against Big 12
powers Colorado and Texas A&M,
while Kansas has won its last two
games with Fridays victory and
last Sundays victory against last-
place Iowa State.
LOOKing BacK
The confusion about the tourna-
ment overshadowed Fridays gritty
and memorable Senior Day upset
against Missouri.
Kansas couldnt
have gotten off to
much of a worse
start to what was
clearly a must-win
game for the team.
Before the match
even began, senior
forward Shannon
McCabe reinjured
her knee in pre-
game warm-ups
and couldnt play in her last home
game. Then, just 51 seconds after
kickoff, the Tigers scored before
the Jayhawks could get possession
of the ball. Missouri junior Alysha
Bonnick finished a cross with one
touch inside a crowded penalty
area to put Kansas down 0-1 early.
Francis said McCabes injury affect-
ed the teams mindset.
I think the girls were a little bit
shell-shocked after that, he said.
Maybe thats why we were in such
a daze at the beginning. I think we
were still on the sideline feeling
sorry for ourselves.
But the Jayhawks gathered them-
selves and responded in the 23rd
minute. Sophomore forward Emily
Cressy ran onto a well-placed
passed from senior midfielder
Monica Dolinsky and placed a shot
past the goalkeeper at the near
post.
Kansas kept its momentum going
in the 38th minute when fresh-
man midfielder Shelby Williamson
dribbled through the midfield and
hit a left-footed shot into the low
corner of the net for a 2-1 Kansas
lead that the team carried into half-
time. It was the first time Missouri
had trailed at the break since Oct. 2
against Texas.
During the second half, the
game reached a frantic pace of play
and referees struggled to control
the intense physicality from both
teams. In the second half alone,
five yellow cards and 19 fouls were
awarded to both teams. It was obvi-
ous that emotions were running
high in a rivalry game that had
Kansas playoff hopes
and Missouris unde-
feated season on the
line.
Every time we
play Missouri our
emotions are high,
but especially so
for the seniors this
year, senior defender
Estelle Johnson said.
In the 76th minute,
Cressy came through again for the
Jayhawks as she scored her 11th
goal of the season to give her team
a 3-1 cushion. Johnsons free kick
from midfield bounced around the
penalty area before Cressy collected
it in traffic and placed it in the net.
It was probably one of the best
goals Ive scored in my entire life,
Cressy said.
It also turned out to be an
important one, as Missouri
narrowed the lead six minutes later
when Missouri senior Michelle
Collins scored off a rebound from
Kansas goalkeeper Kat Liebetrau.
Kansas desperately clung to the
lead in the last seven minutes, pack-
ing in their own half and blocking
Missouris last efforts. The final
whistle blew, and the Kansas bench
rushed onto the field to celebrate
defeating the top team in the Big
12 and keeping their postseason
hopes alive.
I think these are the types of
games that you play for, Johnson
said. These are the games that you
remember forever.

The womens cross country team
earned its best finish in the Big
12 Championship in 15 years on
Saturday in Columbia, Mo., placing
fifth overall. The mens team faced
some difficulties, but still managed
to snag an eighth place finish.
Kansas faced tough competi-
tion, but the women never lost a
step. They beat Baylor, a nationally
ranked team in the U.S. Track &
Field and Cross Country Coaches
Association rankings. Three of the
four teams that beat Kansas were
also nationally ranked Texas
Tech, Colorado and Iowa State.
The level of competition on both
men and womens side, nationally,
is just tremendous for this confer-
ence, said assistant coach Michael
Whittlesey.
Senior Lauren Bonds finished
first for the women in 10th place
with a time of 21:46.52. Sophomore
Rebeka Stowe finished second for
Kansas. She ran a 22:35:07, finish-
ing second for her team and plac-
ing 50 spots higher than last year.
Behind her was sophomore Kara
Windisch with a time of 22:53.19
and junior Amanda Miller with a
time of 22.59.25 good for 39th
place.
I think we ran great, said
Bonds. We did everything we
could have.
In the last scoring position was
senior Kellie Schneider, who fin-
ished with a time of 23:03.85 and
had one of her strongest races of
the season.
Kellie Schneider had just a tre-
mendous race, Whittlesey said. It
was really a coming out party for
her. She really bought into how
good she could be and just com-
peted extremely, extremely well.
The men earned the same eighth-
place finish as last year. Three run-
ners fell during the race.
It was a tough race, sophomore
Donny Wasinger said. We came
into today looking to kind of proves
ourselves a little bit. It didnt prob-
ably go as well as we had all hoped
or as we planned, but its going to
be a learning experience.
Wasinger finished first for the
men, with a time of 26:00.82 in
38th place. Senior Bret Imgrund
and junior Dan Van Orsdel fin-
ished next for the Jayhawks with
times of 26:03.15 and 26:23.33.
Finishing out the scoring for the
men were junior Nick Caprario and
sophomore Austin Bussing.
The mens and womens teams
will compete in regionals Nov. 14
in Springfield, Mo.

With most new York sports
fans focused on a pair of nFl

home from a disappointing

new York ended a 1-4-1 skid
that came on the heels of a

Coach Mark Mangino on replacing senior quar-
terback Todd Reesing with freshman Kale Pick in the
fourth quarter. I dont think it was a big deal. On the
last series he was in there he short-armed two pass-
es and had a fumble. More than anything, I thought
that Kale would give us a little bit of a jump. I just
didnt feel good about the ofense as a whole. And
to be honest with you, I was concerned about the
protection. I didnt want himto take another hit.
Alonso Rojas. Rojas, who was called on early and often, averaged
48 yards on eight punts, including a long of 72 yards. On a day when
Kansas ofense severely struggled to move the ball, Rojas kept the feld
position battle even with a solid day of punting.
Jake Laptad. Laptad recorded six tackles, including two tackles for
a loss. But his biggest play occurred in the fnal minutes of the frst half.
Laptad sacked and stripped Texas Tech quarterback Seth Doege
and the result of the play set up a touchdown that tied the game at
halftime.
Max Onyegbule. Onyegbules numbers are solid: He had two tack-
les, a sack and recovered a fumble for a touchdown. But Onyegbule
also continually pressured and knocked downTexas Techs quarter-
backs. His performance goes beyond simply his stats.
Jef Spikes. Its hard to fully and accurately characterize the play of
an ofensive lineman. But one thing is certain: Texas Tech created a lot
of pressure and Spikes was pulled mid-series late in the fourth quarter.
Thats never a good sign.
Kerry Meier. Meier fnished with a season-lowthree catches for
just 32 yards. He also had a costly fumble deep in Kansas territory that
Texas Tech recovered. The Red Raiders capitalized with a touchdown
on their ensuing possession.
Todd Reesing. Not to pile on but Reesing has simply struggled in
his last three games. He has seven turnovers in that stretch and many
of those miscues resulted in points for Kansas opponents. He fnished
with just 181 yards and two fumbles against Texas Tech, and he was
benched with seven minutes left in the game.
In the fnal minutes of the frst half, junior defensive end Jake Laptad
strippedTexas Tech quarterback Seth Doege frombehind, setting
of an unusual scramble for the ball. Senior linebacker Arist Wright
initially picked up the bouncing ball before it slipped out of his hands.
Freshman safety Lubbock Smith then scooped and returned the ball to
Techs two yard line.
ThE GLASS IS hALF FuLL
Kansas defense has proven that the unit has fully turned the corner
after a disappointing performance against Iowa State on Oct. 10. In
their previous two games, the Jayhawks played well enough to grab a
victory. Against Texas Tech, the defense kept Kansas in the game. The
Jayhawks scored a defensive touchdown and limited the Red Raiders
ofense for three quarters before fatigue set in.
ThE GLASS IS hALF EMPTY
Senior quarterback Todd Reesing is still stuck in the worst slump of
his career. For the third consecutive game Reesing had costly turnovers
and simply missed open receivers. It was bad enough on Saturday that
coach Mark Mangino replaced Reesing with backup quarterback Kale
Pick with seven minutes left in the game. At that point Kansas only
trailed by two scores.
D-LINE DOING ITS JOB?
This looked more like the relentless defensive front that played so
well during the nonconference season. The Jayhawks recorded fve
sacks and forced two fumbles. On one of the fumbles, senior defensive
end Max Onyegbule scored a touchdown. On the other, the Jayhawks
returned the ball to the Red Raiders two yard line.
BIGGEST ANSwER
The ofensive line isnt nearly as good as the unit played against Iowa
State on Oct. 10 a performance Mangino characterized as one of
the fnest jobs of pass protection I think Ive been associated with in a
single game.The ofensive line has certainly regressed since that point.
STILL QuESTIONING
The cause of Reesings slump isnt simply a couple of fuky per-
formances. But other than that its hard to tell what exactly is going
wrong. After the game Reesing couldnt pinpoint the root of his
struggles, and that could be part of the problem. Simply put: Some-
thing isnt right with Kansas senior quarterback.
LOOKING AhEAD
At the beginning of the season, this weeks game at Kansas State cer-
tainly didnt seemto be a toss-up. Not anymore. K-State played Okla-
homa close on the road, letting the game slip away late in the fourth
quarter. Kansas, meanwhile, enters on a three-game losing streak.
GOOD, BAD OR JuST PLAIN STuPID?
Original prediction: Texas Tech 42, Kansas 27. Actual score: Texas
Tech 42, Kansas 21. While the scores were relatively close, Kansas
played and deserved much more than a 21-point loss. This one
falls into the category of so-so.
FINAL ThOuGhT
This one certainly stung. Theres no shame in losing on the road to
Texas Tech. But Kansas wasted a solid defensive efort and a chance to
take a step forward in the Big 12 North race. Instead, the Jayhawks title
hopes seemcloser to a distant memory than a realistic goal.

Todd Reesing was benched in
the fourth quarter after being
unable to consistently move the
offensive down the field.
Coach Mark Mangino said
leaving Reesing
in the game
was not worth
the risk of
injury.
I didnt
want him to
take another
hit, Mangino
said. I didnt
want himto get
sacked again
from the blindside or scramble
and take a hit when our offensive
line play is not up to snuff.
So although Todd Reesing
was short-arming throws and
veteran receivers were unable to
hold on to the ball, Mangino
said his biggest issue with the
offense was the offensive line.
Texas Tech recorded six sacks
and the Jayhawks managed just
71 rushing yards in the 42-21
loss at Texas Tech.
We can no longer play the
way we are, Mangino said. We
are not efficient in the run game,
we arent physical, we dont fin-
ish blocks, and our pass pro-
tection at times has become
suspect as well.
Reesing, already suffering
from a sore groin
from the Colorado
game, took a few
hard hits but said he
was no worse for
the wear.
I did take some
shots to the head
that luckily didnt
ring my bell too
bad, Reesing said.
Well see how I feel
tomorrow I guess.
Perhaps the biggest hit Reesing
took came late in the second
quarter after freshman left
tackle Tanner
Ha w k i n s o n
tried a cut
block on Texas
Tech defensive
tackle Colby
Whitlock.
The key word
is tried.
Wh i t l o c k
ran free for an
excruciatingly
long couple of seconds and hit
Reesing from the blindside. The
football dribbled behind Reesing
on the turf and Texas Tech
grabbed it and scrambled for the
touchdown.
Despite complimenting the
offensive lines rapid progression
in the first few weeks of the sea-
son, Mangino said the line had
regressed in the last couple of
weeks. Mangino said he was not
afraid to make changes in the
line, like any other position.
I know thats its a young
group, Mangino said. But
I think we have some players
that are not getting repetitions
on the offensive line that prob-
ably deserve them, and well give
them an opportunity here as we
go.
The starters on the offensive
line were Hawkinson, junior Brad
Thorson, sophomore Jeremiah
Hatch, junior Sal Capra and
sophomore Jeff Spikes. Junior
Ian Wolfe replaced Spikes late in
the game.
Junior wide
receiver Dezmon
Briscoe said the
offenses inability to
move down the field
was a responsibility
shared between the
offensive line, the
receivers and the
quarterback.
You got to get
it all together in order to be the
offense were capable of being,
Briscoe said.
Edited by Abbey Strusz Maxwell onyegbule scores again
With his three-yard fumble return for a touchdown,
senior defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule recorded his
second score of the season. He returned an interception
48 yards for a touchdown against Duke earlier in the
season.
freshman defensive end brad McDougald
making marks on both sides of the ball
Freshman wide receiver-safety Brad McDougald
became the frst Kansas player to record a reception and
an interception in the same game since AqibTalib did
it in the ffth game of the 2007 season against Kansas
State. McDougald returned the interception 38 yards to
the Texas Tech 47.
branstetter only able to kick deep
After back-to-back Texas Tech personal fouls late in
the third quarter, kicker Jacob Branstetter teed up the
kickof at the Texas Tech 40-yard line.
It seemed like a perfect opportunity for an unortho-
dox kickof for a couple of reasons.
Texas Tech would only gain ten yards on a failed
onsides attempt compared with a relatively easy Bran-
stetter touchback. If Branstetter guided the kick into a
corner, Kansas kick cover teams could have tackled the
kick returner well behind the 20 yard line.
But coach Mark Mangino said that Branstetter was
unable to kick pooches or squib kicks.
All hes capable of is kicking the ball of the tee deep,
Branstetter said. We fgured, Lets make sure they get it
on the 20 and not do anything stupid.
briscoe and Meier tied for catch record
With six more catches than senior receiver Kerry
Meier Saturday, junior Dezmon Briscoe tied Meier for
the most receptions in Kansas history with 189.
Briscoe caught nine passes for 110 yards and a touch-
down, while Meier caught just three passes for 32 yards.
Meier hasnt caught less than four balls since the
Nebraska game last season.
Clark Goble
Its tough because we go
through a week of practice and
it looks like were ready to roll,
Meier said. And then we come
out and do something like this
on Saturdays the past few weeks.
It kind of throws me for a curve-
ball.
It also overshadowed three
quarters of tough, turnover-forc-
ing defense fromKansas.
All week, Kansas players and
coaches repeatedly emphasized
the need for the defense to create
pressure and turnovers. And the
Jayhawks certainly delivered.
Kansas defense returned a fum-
ble for one touchdown while the
unit forced and recovered another
fumble that positioned the ofense
at Texas Techs two-yard line.
We squandered a pretty good
defensive performance for about
three and a half quarters, Mang-
ino said. We played very well on
defense. But we lef the defense on
the feld way too long.
It certainly appeared that way.
Te Red Raiders scored four
touchdowns in the fnal quarter
afer the Jayhawks took a 21-14
lead in the fnal seconds of the
third quarter.
In turn, Kansas ofense pro-
vided little support for the defense
as the Jayhawks failed to score in
the fourth.
Its hard to deal with it, Re-
esing said. We were so ready
to get into this season with this
senior class and the experience
we had on ofense and to under-
perform the last few weeks has
been hard to deal with.
Weve continued to say we
were going to bounce back but the
last few weeks we havent. At this
point, its gut-check time.
Edited by Amanda Thompson
game was tied at halfime as well as with
a little more than 11 minutes lef in the
fourth quarter.
In the second quarter, Reesing took
on Texas Techs Jamar Wall, absorbed
a tackle that sent himbackwards and,
in a move reminiscent of a play in last
years Nebraska loss, stayed upright and
fnished a 12-yard run.
Late in the third quarter, Reesing
spun out of what seemed a sure sack
before zipping a pass to a completely
uncovered Dezmon Briscoe in the end
zone. It put Kansas up momentarily.
It was also the last time Kansas would
score.
For as refreshing it was to see those
plays afer the last two weeks of shaky
starts and troubling performances by
Kansas ofense, any relief was short-
lived.
See, for as tenured as the players on
billboards and media guides promoting
the teamare, inexperience still troubles
the ofensive line. Its why Reesing is
constantly under pressure, ofentimes
on the receiving end of a crushing hit
by a man twice his size. It is also why a
(listed) 5-foot-11 quarterback is sud-
denly getting passes tipped by 6-foot-7
and 6-foot-8 defensive linemen.
But as coach Mark Mangino alluded
to in his post-game remarks, its not only
Todd who has been aficted. Saturdays
game became Hell on Halloween for
everyone. Kerry Meier who entered
the game averaging 8.9 receptions-per-
game (second in the NCAA) didnt
catch a pass until a key third-down grab
more than halfway through the third
quarter. But with Pick later behind
center afer Reesing, trying to lead
a comeback, fumbled a snap that
extended the Red Raiders lead
he dropped a key third-down pass.
Meier also fumbled with the score
tied earlier in the quarter to later
relinquish his teams gridlock.
And Briscoes drops continued.
And Jake Sharp is a step slower than
what he was at the seasons start. And
the running game overall averaged
just 2.2 yards per rush. And so on.
Kansas will likely be the underdog
when it travels to Manhattan this
Saturday. Teres been nothing to sug-
gest that it shouldnt be. Te Wildcats
dropped 30 points on a Sooners de-
fense that nearly held Kansas without
an ofensive score Oct. 24.
Maybe its time we readjust our
expectations.

Swimming coach Clark
Campbell likened his teams perfor-
mance this weekend to the Kansas
landscape: flat. The swimming
and diving team lost to Missouri
176-119 Friday at the Robinson
Natatorium before coming back
and beating Nebraska-Omaha
79-45 on Saturday.
We had a good meet last week
in Arkansas and we werent on that
level this week, Campbell said.
To their credit, they came back
and took care of business against
Nebraska-Omaha.
Senior Meghan Proehl won
the one-meter dive competition,
accumulating an NCAA-qualifying
standard score of 273.9 against
Missouri.
She also took second place in the
three-meter dive with a score of
241.8. Proehl said she thought she
could still perform better, too.
This weekend says nothing
about the potential this team has,
Proehl said. By the time Big 12
Championships come around is
when the whole team will be peak-
ing, and we will be much more
competitive with Missouri.
Junior Iuliia Kuzhil stood out in
the pool by breaking a Robinson
Natatorium record in the 100-yard
backstroke.
Her time of 55.61 seconds bested
the previous record by .26 sec-
onds and Kuzhil met the NCAA B
qualifying standard.
The next day, the Jayhawks
played host to Nebraska-Omaha in
their second straight dual, earning
a victory with a first-place finish
from sophomore Stephanie Payne
in the 200-yard butterfly.
Kansas also got two first-place
finishes from freshman Monica
Johannessen in the 50- and 100-
yard freestyle events and another
from senior captain Carrah Haley
in the 200-yard backstroke.
Its still early in the season and
I know both the swimmers and
divers are still working on per-
fecting a lot of skills, Proehl said.
Personally, Im excited with the
way the season has started out.
Campbell said the team dealt
with not typical swimming inju-
ries and illness, which contributed
to a lack of practice time for the
entire team.
There was a six-week peri-
od where there was at least one
girl with things like bronchitis,
Campbell said. Swimming is
probably one of the most training-
intensive sports because you can
only improve when youre in the
water. Were really hopeful that we
have the sickness stuff behind us to
start growing.
The Jayhawks will be back in the
pool Nov. 7 in Springfield, Mo., for
a dual with Drury University.

For the novice members of the
rowing team, Sundays Frostbite
Regatta in Wichita was their first
and only chance to compete this
fall. They took full advantage of
their lone opportunity.
The four Second Novice Eight
boats placed first through fourth
in their race, while the First
Novice Eight boats finished sec-
ond, fourth, fifth, and eighth. In
the Novice Four race, the two
Kansas boats finished in third and
fourth. In the eyes of their upper-
classman teammates, the novice
rowers passed the first real test of
their collegiate careers.
As a novice, you dont know
what to expect, senior Lindsey
Lawrence said. It was great to get
them a few races, and let them get
familiar with the regatta environ-
ment. I think overall they did a
really great job.
The varsity rowers were also in
action Sunday, turning in similar
results. The Varsity Eight boats
placed first, second, third and
fifth, and the Varsity Four boats
placed third and fourth. But coach
Rob Catloth said it was mostly the
freshman rowers impressive debut
that made the day a success.
Our main thing today was the
novice races, trying to get every-
one some experience, Catloth
said. They did really well today,
so I think we achieved that goal.
Now, the novice rowers will be
relegated to practice and improve-
ment until they return to action
in March. For the remainder of
the fall, the varsity rowers will
be firmly in the spotlight. Still,
the teams veterans reiterated the
importance of the experience that
Sundays regatta provided for the
youngsters.
It was a great way for them
to start off, senior Stacy Rachow
said. Theyre only going to get
better from here.

Favre strong in victory
against former team
GREEN BAY, Wis. Brett Favre
still knows how to win big games
at Lambeau Field, even if this
one came for the enemy and to a
chorus of boos.
For the second time in less than
a month, Brett Favre sliced up
his former team and stuck it to
the franchise that cast him aside
as the Minnesota Vikings beat
the Green Bay Packers 38-26 at
Lambeau on Sunday.
Despite being jeered repeat-
edly by Packers fans who once
cheered his every move, Favre
completed 17 of 28 passes for 244
yards and four touchdowns. The
Vikings took a frm hold on the
NFC North standings.
But Packer fans cheer for the
Packers frst, Favre said. I know
that. But I hope that everyone in
the stadium watching tonight
said, I sure hate those jokers on
the other side, but he does play
the way hes always played.

Capitalizing on turnovers,
Tennessee beats No. 21 S.C.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Decked
out in black jerseys, Tennessee
took three South Carolina fumbles
and turned them into touchdowns
as the Volunteers beat the No. 21
Gamecocks 31-13 Saturday night.
Jonathan Crompton threw two
touchdowns, Montario Hardesty
ran for two more and Rico McCoy
forced two fumbles as coach Lane
Kifn grabbed his frst win over a
ranked opponent.
After warming up in their
traditional orange home jerseys,
the Vols (4-4, 2-3 Southeastern
Conference) seemed to take the
Gamecocks by surprise as they
took the feld in Halloween-
inspired uniforms.
And hows this for a twist: Ten-
nessees victory helped Florida.
The Gators clinched the SEC East
and a spot in the conference title
game when the rival Vols beat
South Carolina.

Pierce notches 27 points,
leading Celtics to victory
BOSTON Paul Pierce scored
27 points and the Boston Celtics
improved to 4-0 with a 97-87
victory over the New Orleans
Hornets on Sunday night.
Chris Paul scored 22 points
with eight assists for New
Orleans, and then had to be held
back after the game when he
tried to follow the Celtics of the
court to their locker room. Paul
and Celtics point guard Rajon
Rondo also exchanged words
in the second quarter, drawing
matching technical fouls.
Ray Allen scored 17, Kevin
Garnett had 14 and Rondo
had 10 assists for Boston,
which pulled away with an
11-3 run in the last four min-
utes to turn an 86-83 lead into
an 11-point runaway.
Peja Stojakovic scored 26 as a
reserve for New Orleans, includ-
ing 6-for-10 3-point shooting.
Emeka Okafor had 10 rebounds
for New Orleans.
The Celtics, who won their frst
eight in their 2007-08 champion-
ship season but just two straight
to start last year, have won four
games in six nights, including
a season-opening victory over
the rival Cleveland Cavaliers and
All-Star LeBron James.
Pierce scored 10 in the frst
and 10 more in the second as the
Celtics opened an 11-point lead
en route to a 47-38 score at the
half. They led from the 9:41 mark
of the second until Stojakovic hit
a 3-pointer to tie it 69-all with 25

NEBRASKA 20,
BAYLOR 10
In his first start,
freshman quarter-
back Cody Green led
the Cornhuskers to a
20-0 lead in the first
half. Baylor didnt score an offen-
sive touchdown in the game.
Green finished the game 12-for-
21 with one interception, but
Nebraska cut down its turnover
total to two after turning the ball
over eight times against Iowa State
the week before.
Baylor actually outgained
Nebraska 276-273 and recorded
seven more first downs. However,
Nebraskas Eric Martin blocked a
punt on Baylors first possession
and Justin Blatchford returned it
for a touchdown.
Nebraska defensive end Jared
Crick constantly harassed Baylor
quarterback Nick Florence and
recorded five sacks.
MISSOURI 36,
COLORADO 17
Though Kansas struggled in
Boulder, Colo.,
Missouri used a
21-point first quarter
to cruise to a victory
against Colorado.
Missouri receiver
Danario Alexander caught eight
passes for 123 yards and two touch-
downs, including a 73-yard touch-
down reception to put the Tigers
up 14-0.
Colorado had -14 net rushing
yards. Rodney Stewart rushed 10
times for just three yards but did
pick up a touchdown.
Despite being hobbled by a right
ankle sprain, Missouri quarterback
Blaine Gabbert threw for 192 yards
and two touchdowns.
It was the Tigers first victory in
Big 12 play this year.
TEXAS A&M 35,
IOWA STATE 10
The Aggies never
punted in a control-
ling offensive per-
formance Saturday.
Quarterback Jerrod Johnson threw
for three touchdowns and ran for
another as Texas A&M racked
up more than 500 yards of total
offense.
Iowa States Jerome Tiller, filling
in for injured quarterback Austen
Arnaud, threw two costly inter-
ceptions and Iowa State fell too far
behind early in the game.
Texas A&M picked up 31 first
downs, ten of them coming on
third down conversions.
Alexander Robinson returned at
running back for the Cyclones and
rushed for 76 yards on 20 carries.
OKLAHOMA 42,
KANSAS STATE 30
Landry Jones is get-
ting pretty comfort-
able at the helm of the
Sooners offense.
The freshman
quarterback filling in
for Heisman Trophy winner Sam
Bradford threw for 294 yards and
four touchdowns and held off a
game Kansas State team Saturday.
Three of Jones passing touch-
downs came in the first quarter and
gave the Sooners an early 21-0 lead.
From that point on, the Wildcats
outscored the Sooners, but the
deficit was too much to overcome.
Kansas State wide receiver
Brandon Banks caught nine passes
for 156 yards and returned a kick-
off for a touchdown for the fourth
time this season and the fifth time
in his career.
TEXAS 41,
OKLAHOMA
STATE 14
Cowboys quarter-
back Zach Robinson
threw four interceptions and Texas
returned two of them for touch-
downs in Oklahoma States 41-14
loss at home against Texas.
Oklahoma State outgained
Texas 277-275 but had five turn-
overs compared with Texas one.
The victory gives the Longhorns
complete control of their destiny
in the Big 12 South. With victories
against one-loss teams Oklahoma
and now Oklahoma State, Texas
could even slip up once along the
way and still be division cham-
pions.

Undefeated Broncos lose to Ravens
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb returns a kickof for a touchdown Sunday.
The 30-7 loss was the first for Denver since first-year head coach Josh McDaniels took over
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE The Denver
Broncos went from unbeaten to
overmatched during a 60-min-
ute beatdown by the Baltimore
Ravens.
R o o k i e
Lardarius Webb
returned the
second-half kick-
off 95 yards for a
touchdown, and
Baltimore ended a
three-game losing
streak with a sur-
prisingly easy 30-7
victory Sunday.
It was Denvers
first loss under rookie head coach
Josh McDaniels. The Broncos
(6-1) came in with the NFLs top-
ranked defense, a plus-7 turnover
differential and one of the leagues
best kick returners in Eddie Royal.
Denver had also outscored the
opposition 76-10 after halftime.
The Ravens, however, domi-
nated every facet of the game.
We didnt play our best ball,
but theyre a pretty good team and
they beat us pretty good today
on all sides of the ball, Broncos
quarterback Kyle Orton said. We
didnt really do a whole lot.
Baltimore (4-3) limited Denver
to 200 yards, scored off the games
lone turnover, won the special
teams fight and outscored the
Broncos 24-7 in the second half.
Denver started the day as one
of three unbeaten teams in the
NFL and was trying to go 7-0
for the first time since 1998.
Baltimore needed a win to avoid
falling under .500 and dropping
two games behind Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati in the AFC North.
In a duel between an unde-
feated team and a desperate one,
the Ravens prevailed.
They just did a better job of
executing. Desperation had noth-
ing to do with it, Broncos safety
Brian Dawkins said.
Baltimore held Royal in check,
bottled up Orton and became the
first team this season to rush
for more than 100 yards against
Denver. Given two weeks to think
about a three-game skid in which
they lost by a combined 11 points,
the Ravens started fast and never
relented.
We know were capable of
doing this kind of thing, said Joe
Flacco, who went 20 for 25 for
175 yards and a touchdown. We
had a chance in the other games.
Today we finished. Thats why we
won.
Baltimore went up 13-0 when
Webb turned the second-half
kickoff into his first NFL touch-
down. After breaking free around
his own 30, the speedy rookie cut
right and outran his pursuers into
the corner of the end zone.
All 10 guys got their body on
someone, Webb said. I just saw
a hole and ran.
The Broncos
responded with an
86-yard march fueled
by three Baltimore
penalties totaling
44 yards. A 39-yard
pass interference
call on Domonique
Foxworth and an off-
side by Ed Reed on a
fourth-and-1 led to
a 1-yard touchdown
run by Knowshon Moreno.
The Ravens
answered with
a field goal for a
16-7 lead, then
went up 23-7 on a
20-yard pass from
Flacco to Derrick
Mason with 13:07
left.
Ray Rice capped
the rout with a 7-yard
touchdown run with 1:59 to go.
Rice ran for 84 yards, the most
by one player against Denver this
season.
And now, the Ravens have
some momentum heading into
next weeks showdown against
Cincinnati.
Around the locker room
its going to be more upbeat,
Foxworth said. Its amazing how
winning heals all wounds.
The Broncos, for the first time
under McDaniels, will have to
rebound from a defeat.
Anytime you have a game like
this, it forces you to look in a mir-
ror, McDaniels said. Hopefully
we can find out just as much
about one another ... through
the adversity of a loss as you can
through six wins.
The Broncos managed only
79 yards in being held scoreless
in the first half for
the first time this
season.
The tone was set
on first play from
scrimmage, when
Ravens lineback-
er Jarret Johnson
blitzed untouched
from the left side
and sacked Orton
for an 8-yard loss.
Thats not the way you want
to start the game, for sure, Orton
said. Its not just one play. We
had a number of plays where we
just didnt execute. They were just
better than us.
Denver made only one first
down in the first quarter, and
Morenos fumble on a screen pass
led to Steve Hauschkas field goal
for a 3-0 lead.
The Ravens added a field goal
in the second quarter.
We didnt play our
best ball, but theyre
a pretty good team
and they beat us
pretty good today on
all sides of the ball.
Kyle OrtOn
Denver quarterback
Anytime you have
a game like this, it
forces you to look in a
mirror.

Volleyball
Jayhawks lose afer starting strong
By BRITT BEASLEy
bbeasley@kansan.com
The volleyball team took on
yet another ranked opponent this
weekend in Texas A&M. Though
the team looked good in the first
set, it was not enough as it lost
3-1.
The Jayhawks led through most
of the first set. When the Aggies
tried to climb their way back into
it, the Jayhawks shut the door on
them. The team won the first set
25-23.
We started off strong, which
is usually our weak point, soph-
omore setter Nicole Tate said.W
Now we just have to finish the
matches that we start.
Tate led the team with 45 assists
to go along with her 10 digs.
The second set started and the
Jayhawks battled their way through
the second set. It looked as though
the team would be able to get back
into the game after a kill by sopho-
more Allison Mayfield brought the
score to 18-23, but in the end lost
25-22.
We hit .233 and had as many
kills, coach Ray Bechard said. We
just did not hit as high a profi-
ciency.
The Jayhawks played the first set
and had a .277 attack percentage
and looked as though they were
the better team as Texas A&M
had a .176 attack percentage in the
first set.
In the third set the Jayhawks
battled through most of the game
but could not come through as
they lost 23-25. Freshman middle
blocker Taylor Tolefree started the
third set and immediately contrib-
uted. She had an attack percentage
of .667 in the third set with five
kills.
This is a really important game
that we needed; we didnt get it, but
everyone just felt the importance
of it, Tolefree said. From here we
go back to practice and we either
execute it or we dont, so we will get
to a point to do that consistently.
The Jayhawks looked as if they
had some momentum going until
the ball got stuck in the ceiling and
forced a replay on the ball.
The Aggies proved to be just too
much in the fourth set as they took
the set 25-15. The Jayhawks never
seemed to be in a rhythm during
the set. By the time they tried to
mount a comeback it was already
8-18 and it was too late.
This was an opportunity we let
go. Tate said, This is our gym and
we should have had bigger pride
against them. We had our game
plan and just didnt execute. The
coaches gave us something to do
and we were just not able to pull
it out.
The team next heads to Colorado
Wednesday and then Oklahoma
Saturday.

Allison Mayfeld tips the ball over the net and behind two Texas A&Mblockers to record one of
her career high 20 kills. Kansas fell to Texas A&M3-1 Saturday night at the Horejsi Family Athletic
Center.
By ANDREW TAyLOR
ataylor@kansan.com
No one could have predicted
what kind of play the Jayhawks
would receive from the point
guard position, specifcally that
of freshman Angel Goodrich. But
Sundays game against Pittsburg
State was a clear response.
With three minutes and 10 sec-
onds lef in the frst half, coach
Bonnie Henrickson subbed Goo-
drich in despite the starters two
personal fouls.
We were trying to tell her you
need to learn to play with fouls
because its clear were going to
need her on the court, Henrick-
son said.
At that point in the game Goo-
drich had four assists along with
four turnovers in what had been
an up-and-down frst career start.
Up to that point she had earned
four assists, but matched each as-
sist with a turnover for a total of
four turnovers.
At the close of the frst half,
Goodrich had walked into the
locker room still thinking about
her four turnovers.
I tried to calm myself down,
Goodrich said. Tere were some
decisions I made in the frst half
and I just tried to focus on making
them better in the second half.
Following the bid of confdence
from her coach, Goodrich elevat-
ed her level of play throughout the
rest of the game.
Goodrich played for a total of
nine minutes: the last three min-
utes of the frst half and six minutes
of play in the second half. During
that time, Goodrich piled up six
more assists, for a total of 10, and
committed no more turnovers.
At the start of the second half,
Goodrich displayed an incredible
knack for fnding open players,
earning two assists in less than
two minutes.
Shes the best passer Ive ever
played with, sophomore forward
Aishah Sutherland said. So long
as I run and shes looking for me
with the ball, Ill get it.
Some of Goodrichs 10 assists
helped Sutherland to earn a dou-
ble-double for the Jayhawks.
Senior guard and forward Dan-
ielle McCray benefted, too. Tree
of Goodrichs assists led directly to
seven of McCrays 18 points.
Shes born with that ability to
see the whole foor, McCray said.
Despite not scoring any points
and only attempting two shots in
the game, Henrickson was very
positive about Goodrichs play.
Sometimes for a young quar-
terback the game appears too fast
for them, but it doesnt for her,
Henrickson said.
Goodrichs fellow point guards
didnt experience the same success
in Kansas frst exhibition game.
Senior point guard LaChelda
Jacobs didnt turn the ball over
once.
Tis was somewhat overshad-
owed by some bad decisions she
made in Kansass transition of-
fense.
Shot-wise, she probably needs
to drive in and not pull up for shots
sometimes, Henrickson said.
Junior college transfer Rhea Co-
dio also sufered some setbacks in
her frst game as a Jayhawk.
Despite getting her frst assist in
less than 10 seconds on the court,
Codio turned the ball over twice
while only garnering one more as-
sist.
Rhea is going to be fne, Hen-
rickson said. She was playing
a little fast and shes not patient
enough right now to just let it hap-
pen.

Teams comes in at No. 20
in Associated Press poll
Kansas womens basketball
team was ranked No. 20 in a
national poll released last Friday
by the Associated Press. The
selection ends an almost decade-
long absence from the rankings;
Kansas last graced the Associated
Press poll on Feb. 21, 2000.
We were all excited and were
still excited about it, senior guard
Danielle McCray said.
Four other Big 12 schools
are also ranked. Among them
are Baylor, the preseason pick to
win the Big 12 conference, and
Texas, picked to fnish tied for
second with Kansas in the Big 12.
Last years national champions,
the Connecticut Huskies, again
grabbed the top spot.
Despite this preseason recogni-
tion McCray, who was tabbed as
the Big 12 preseason player of
the year, acknowledged the team
needs to focus.
Weve got to live it up and
show that, McCray said.
