January and construction begin in May. An exact timeline for the proposed expansion remains undetermined. Building Services Director Wayne Pearse estimated that construction would take three months to complete. If plans move forward as expected, students can expect to see an expanded Underground by the beginning of next school year. But whats good for students isnt always good for business. David Mucci, director of KU Memorial Unions, which manages all food services on campus, said it was difficult to justify the $500,000 expansion as a business investment unless sales increased as a result. He said he was doubtful of that happening. I think the sales are not going to change whether we add seats or not, Mucci said. If we dont really see it as a good business decision, then can we justify it through other funding approaches? In looking for other approaches, Mucci and the board turned to Senate. Smith said a $12 student fee for building renovations would help cover a portion of the $500,000 expansion. That fee is set to expire next year, though Smith said it might be extended at a lower rate. He estimated the extended fee would cost students $2 to $5 per semester. Approximately 3,500 sale transactions occur each day at The Underground, according to Nona Golledge, director of KU dining services. Nearly half of those transactions occur between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Golledge said those figures were unlikely to change. We dont anticipate well see a big increase in numbers, she said. The seating is just going to help the current customer flow. Golledge and Mucci said what may relieve congestion most at The Underground was a $60,000 expansion of food services next door in Anschutz Library. That expansion will create more seating and a small espresso bar on the librarys fourth floor. Construction will be completed over winter break and the expanded food counter will open in January. That may be the thing that saves us more than anything, Mucci said. Despite the popularity of the proposed Underground expansion, KU officials said increasing the number of seats may not be enough to fully relieve congestion, but that it would be a start. Could we ever put enough out there? asked Pearse. Its hard to say. But between Anschutz and The Underground its certainly going to be more accommodating. Edited by Tim Dwyer

University officials have tentatively agreed to a 139-seat expansion to The Underground designed to alleviate congestion in the overcrowded food court. The approximately $500,000 expansion awaits final approval from the Memorial Corporation

Board, which oversees the project. Chairman Adam Miklos, a sophomore from Hutchinson, said he expected the board to make a final decision at its next meeting on Dec. 4. Theres student demand certainly, Miklos said. Were going to find a way to remedy the situation so its not as much of a headache walking into The Underground everyday. The proposed expansion was one of KUniteds central campaign platforms during Student Senate elections last spring and one of its

most p o p u l a r. Students who frequent The Underground have complained about congestion for at least the past two years. After KUnited swept the spring elections, newly elected Student Body President Michael Wade Smith said he began immediate work on the promised expansion. Its a problem and people know it, Smith said in reference to the congestion. I think once we present it to the Senate its something thats going to take immediate action. University officials said theyd like to see a contractor signed in

Dredging at Potter Lake to take three more weeks

smontemayor@kansan.com Months shy of its 100th birthday, a campus landmark awaits another resurrection. Dredging has begun at Potter Lake, slightly behind schedule yet still exceeding the expectations of the lakes advocates. For our group this was our highest priority, said Melissa Allen, vice president of the Potter Lake Project. However, it was not the goal we thought we could accomplish this quickly due to funding. Funding for the project was approved by Student Senate in April. The Student Senate Finance Committee, the Chancellors office and KU Endowment gifts fund the $125,000 dredging process. A second $200,000 project funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act replaced the storm sewer line from Jayhawk Boulevard to the lake and installed three new catch basins on the north and south side of the road. Jim Modig, Director of Design and Construction Management for KU, said the changes aim to prevent overflows of sediment-carrying water down to the lake. The dredging process was to begin in June and conclude by the start of this semester. Modig said a technical glitch in the Universitys bid documents required a revision and reopening of the bidding process. When the contract was awarded to Cobra Contractors for about $112,000, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico further delayed the dredging because the company was also providing materials for relief efforts in the gulf. Modig said dredging began about three weeks ago and will take another two to three weeks. He described the process as using a mix between a rotary tiller and a snow blower. A device grinds material at the bottom of the lake and suspends it into water, which is then sucked up and pumped into large bags. The bags, between 16 to 20 feet in width and up to 50 feet in length, sit near Memorial Stadiums parking lot. Once in the bag, the water separates

Chavez works on dredging out Potter Lake on KUs campus. The University decided to dredge the sediment from the bottom of the lake, restoring depth lost during the years. The sediment has piled up during the years, because of runoff from surrounding areas that drain into the lake. The project, which was approved last semester and was scheduled to be finished before the beginning of this semester, is now scheduled to be finished by next Friday. from the sediment and is returned to the lake. Modig said the process was projected to take eight weeks but is contingent upon the relative continuity of warm, dry weather that will allow the collected materials to dry. A sediment basin was also built toward the north end of the lake that will help filter materials that do make it down from Jayhawk Boulevard. Potter Lake Project President Matt Nahrstedt said the group intends to plant native plants in the basin in October to further help filtration. The lake was last dredged in 1957. Excess sediment and plant life that has accumulated since then is responsible for the death of fish and unwanted sights and smells. Allen, a senior from St. Louis, said shed love to see the scenic beauty of the lake return. Nahrstedt, a senior from St. Peters, Mo., said the lakes appearance makes it look inaccessible to the community. I think its an extremely visual problem, he said. When Modig was a student at KU in the late 1960s, he said the lake was so clear that when it was still, one could see a pristine reflection of the Campanile. Modig said the project aims to keep Potter Lake a University icon. That is a cherished feature that not very many campuses have, Modig said. Once dredging is completed, the In addition to the current dredging process, The Potter Lake Project introduced 22 other recommendations for restoring the lake. primary recommendations included: The dredging process Native plantings Path meeting the regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act Lowest cost options named by the project: Best management practices Trash cans and recycling receptacles Grass carp

ELECTIONS

Freshman senators selected for the semester

BY MICHAEL HOLTZ
mholtz@kansan.com The 26 candidates for freshmen Student Senate seats waited anxiously Wednesday night as Chief of Staff Aaron Dollinger announced the names of the five winners: Brandon Wiederholt, Brett Pollard, Patrick McCann, Alek Joyce and Steven Melton. Dollinger said the election was extremely close and that he was impressed by the winners early commitment to their class. Their job is to bring the freshman ideas to the forefront, because the freshmen are generally the most underrepresented, Dollinger said. Theyve all done a really good job of showing that theyre passionate about the freshman class. With 1,726 total votes three times the number of last years freshman election the five winners said they were excited to begin work as senators and that they were encouraged by the high voter turnout. I think it speaks volumes about the freshman class with the kind of voter turnout that we had, said Wiederholt, the topvote winner and a political science major from Garnett. I speak for all of us when I say we love KU, and its evident that the whole class of 2014 does. Replacement senators: Applications for replacement senators are due Sept. 17 by 5 p.m. in the Student Senate Office, Room 410 in the Kansas Union. Replacement senators will fill seats of former senators who have graduated, transferred, moved to the Student Executive Committee or are for other reasons are unable to serve.

Digital Design allows students to be creative

BY KELLY MORGAN
kmorgan@kansan.com Students in the KU School of Architecture, Design and Planning are all too familiar with technology and the changing world. As humans increasingly rely on iPhones, laptops and other gadgets to manage their fast-paced lifestyles, architecture students are hard at work trying to keep up with new trends and design the next big thing. Digital design is a new movement in the industrial and architectural world that swaps the use of a standard pencil and pad of paper with a keyboard and computer program. Computers have really changed the way architecture is being practiced, said Nils Gore, associate professor in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning. Even compared to the way it was when I was in school 25 years ago, they didnt exist in the practice of architecture, and now its kind of hard to imagine doing architecture without them. Changes from old to modern design methods are what prompted members of KUs American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) to host Digital Design Week. The week-long event began Monday and offers architectural and industrial design students the opportunity to discuss the future of their transforming industry. I think the change is an extremely exciting thing, said Yong Zhang, president of AIAS. Its a good thing because now designers can use digital tools to design things that otherwise would be impossible, he said. These designs include everything from buildings that are uniquely shaped to buildings that are made of cement and fabric. A lot of designs we see by using digital technology today are really organic, Zhang said. Its more of a sculpture other than a building or an object that you normally make and also it opens up a lot of opportunities and challenges for other people. While this new digital technology allows students and design professionals in the architecture industry to expand on their design creativity, its newness has resulted in a few problems. Its so expensive, Yang said. Even though firms are excited by the possibilities that the new technology brings, its not what theyre used to. Steve Hardy, a director of the international architectural group, Urban Future Organization, will speak to students on Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m. at the Spencer Museum of Art about these challenges and share stories about his success in the field of digital design. It shows you stuff thats outside of the box, said thirdyear architecture student Julie Lickenbrock. Theyre talking about architecture of the future because were all going to be designing the future.

DUI arrests result of Kansas initiative

mlowry@kansan.com

BY MEG LOWRY

A recent DUI check lane in Lawrence contributed to 22 DUIrelated arrests in Douglas County between Friday evening, Aug. 27, and noon Sunday, Aug. 29. Police stopped a total of 278 vehicles. Douglas County law enforcement officers operated the check lane, located at the 1800 block of Kentucky Street. The sheriff s office and the Lawrence Police Department do get involved with a program sponsored by the Kansas Department of Traffic Safety, Sgt. Steve Lewis, a Douglas County Sheriff s spokesman, said. These are certainly not monthly, but we may do four or more a year. The scheduled check lane was in compliance with the statewide Drunk driving. Over the limit. Under arrest initiative. In early August, the KDOT Bureau of Transportation and Safety Technology announced the increased statewide DUI enforcement mobilization, which took place from Aug. 20 to Labor Day. The time and location must be specific, Lewis said. Grant money pays us to hire and pay for overtime and saturation patrol. We do a certain number of crackdowns a year

to give them the statistics that they require. The University of Kansas Public Safety Office, who have the authority to issue DUIs, also participated in the check lane, as Jimmy Ahern, a junior from Chicago, discovered after a night out. I got a DUI last semester, driving on campus, Ahern said. Campus police pulled me over for not stopping for a full three seconds at a stop sign. Ahern, who refused a breathalyzer and failed his field sobriety test, is

due back in court in October. Since I wouldnt do the breathalyzer, I automatically got my license suspended for a year, Ahern said. My lawyer told me, You can either take your medicine now, or you can take it later. If convicted, Ahern will face a mandatory 48 hours in prison. I definitely should not have been driving, Ahern said. In 2008, the most recent year for which statewide data is available, there were 120 alcohol-related crashes that caused 131 deaths in

Kansas, according to KDOT. Of those crashes, half were caused by drivers between the ages 20 and 34. This year, the Douglas County Police Department said, 344 DUIrelated arrests have been made in Douglas County. The point is, we do this at our own choice, Lewis said. If you drive drunk, whether you are over 21 or under, there will be consequences. Edited by Michael Bednar

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Microsoft Corp. and the chief rules enforcer for Xbox Live are apologizing to a small West Virginia town and a gamer accused of violating the online gaming services code of conduct by publicly declaring hes from Fort Gay. The towns name is real. But when Josh Moore tried to tell Seattle-based Microsoft and the enforcement team at Xbox Live, they wouldnt take his word for it. Or Google it. Instead, they suspended his gaming privileges until Moore could convince them the location in his profile, fort gay WV, wasnt a joke or a slur. Moore, an unemployed factory worker who plays shooters under the gamertag Joshanboo. Angry and incredulous, Moore contacted customer service. Stephen Toulouse, director of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live blamed miscommunication. Unfortunately, one of my people agreed with that. ... When it was brought to my attention, we did revoke the suspension. Toulouse said he will contact Moore and apologize. Staying ahead of slang and policing Xbox for offensive is a constant challenge, he said. In this very, very specific case, a mistake was made, he said, and were going to make it right.

The Social Network generating buzz among Facebookers

Mcclatchy-tribune
When Facebook recently unveiled its new location-sharing feature, one executive fondly mentioned Antonios Nut House in Palo Alto, Calif., as the sort of establishment that might inspire plenty of posts. The next day, an ACLU leader, addressing privacy concerns raised by the new feature, complained that she would like to hang out at the Nut House without Facebook asking again and again and again if I want that shared with everyone nearby! So what better place than this irreverent, bustling watering hole, located just a short jaunt down California Avenue from Facebook headquarters, to assess Silicon Valley buzz about The Social Network, the upcoming Hollywood film about Facebooks messy genesis. Trailers now appearing at the cineplex and online hint at a portrait of founder Mark Zuckerberg as a 19-year-old Harvard discipline problem who is Machiavellian in his pursuit of success. (Your best friend is suing you for $600 million?!) Facebook employees may be understandably reticent if their leader, who in person evinces an unpolished geeky charm, can be as ruthless as he wants to be. An unscientific sampling of 17 Nut House patrons revealed a wide range of perspectives. At a pool table, Maya and her girlfriend Aubrie were celebrating Mayas 22nd birthday with some guys. Like a few other patrons, Maya, Aubrie and Mike declined to offer their last names. Funny that a generation that plasters party photos on the Internet is so guarded. But whatever. Just the night before, when theyd gone out to see Inception, Maya and Aubrie caught the trailer for The Social Network. It changed Mayas mind. When she had first heard there would be a movie about Facebook, Honestly, I thought that sounded stupid, Maya said. But the trailer looked cool, the young women agreed, so now they plan to see the movie. Aubrie, who described herself as a Facebook addict, said shes intrigued by the story of Zuckerberg and his cohorts and hope Hollywood depicts the truth. I hope its an accurate picture of how it all started. Another engineer said he was intrigued by the preview, although he is not a Facebook user. Andrzej, who also declined to give his full name, sensed in the Facebook story a classic moral: Whenever something becomes a success, all of a sudden there are multiple fathers. At another table, political scientist Karla Lopez de Nava of Mexico City and her friend Peri Gonzales of Spain represented the Nut Houses appeal with Stanfords international culture. As for the movie, Lopez de Nava couldnt resist a wisecrack: Is it going to be as bad as the security on Facebook? The search for actual Facebook employees led to a booth in the corner, where three men were working through two pitchers of beer, then were joined by a fourth with a third pitcher. Yes, they said, they indeed worked at Facebook and no, they didnt want to offer even their first names. But are people at work talking about the movie? Not so much, one said. They probably know about it, but theyre just so busy, one said. Whether The Social Network does big box office remains to be seen. I dont think, one Facebook employee said, it will be as big as Facebook.

Perkins helped athletics, Even Fred Phelps hateful speech must be protected but tainted school name

ediTOriAL BOArd

uesdays announcement that athletics director Lew Perkins was resigning effective immediately sent shockwaves through the university community. Although Perkins had announced in June his intention to leave next September, the suddenness of his departure struck many, including us, by surprise. Perkins didnt seem to suffer any negative consequences by leaving early. It had been previously reported that his contract contained a retention bonus of $2 million if he stayed through June 2011. Although he leaves in early September, he will still receive approximately $2 million. Although the retention bonus is not taken from taxpayer money, the fact that it will be doled out despite Perkins early exit should raise eyebrows. At this point, the reason for the premature payout can be only be speculated, but whatever the reason, it is one final bad image for a university and an athletics department that has suffered more than its share of bad

Perkins leaves behind a significant legacy both good and bad.

images during Perkins term. To be sure, Perkins was instrumental in a number of positive decisions for athletics and the University since becoming the athletics director in 2003. Under his leadership, the Booth Family Hall of Athletics was added to Allen Fieldhouse, new football facilities were built near Memorial Stadium, KU football won the Orange Bowl and mens basketball won the NCAA championship. But his time as director was also marked by controversy. Perkins was behind the use of a points system for Fieldhouse seating, which resulted in many longtime donors losing their traditional seats. He was in charge when it was discovered that employees in the athletics department had diverted over $1 million in tickets for personal use and profit. He was in charge when football and basketball players slugged it out last fall near Wescoe Hall. He was in charge when Mark Mangino faced accusations of abuse and subsequently resigned. Perkins was also under suspicion of violating ethics in

regards to exchanges of basketball tickets for exercise equipment. Although he was cleared of any wrongdoing at the university level, a state-level ethics investigation remains ongoing. A story last month in the Kansas City Star also detailed Perkins use of the Universitys plane, which we believe was wasteful and excessive. It may be tempting when looking back on Perkins tenure to turn a blind eye to the dark times experienced under his leadership and focus only on his successes. But this urge must be resisted. The worst lesson that could be taken from Perkins time at KU would be that scandal and questionable practices are simply the cost of doing business. Poor ethics, or the appearance of poor ethics, must not be tolerated. No amount of fundraising or number of national championships should ever exempt any leader within this university athletic or otherwise from the highest standards of conduct. At the end of the day, Perkins had tainted the Universitys name and unfortunately, but rightly, had to go. Jonathan Shorman for The Kansan Editorial Board.

few weeks ago, a federal judge in Missouri ruled that it is unconstitutional for the government to limit protests near funerals. This ruling strikes down a Missouri law from a few years ago. The suit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, on behalf of saywhat? the Westboro Baptist Church. Yes, our favorite Topekans, of the infamy. And as strange as it seems, I believe the ACLU was right to fight for them. Sometimes the right decision is not always the most popular decision. The key to winning in this court case was the freedom of speech cemented in our Constitution. Obviously, the First Amendment says that we may say what we like, just no slander or libel. This means that Fred Phelps and his clan may say as they like, no matter how despicable it is. It also means that criticism, and more importantly, critical dialogue, is protected. With this critical dialogue we learn from Westboro. What is wrong with this church? Who are they appealing to, and why? Are these problems solely within Westboro Baptist or are there insidious, subtler issues we must address across many churches? With a discussion on this, such things as certain religious fundamentalism and homophobia, among others, can be examined, and we can figure out and study how the ideas as a whole affect people and what can be done about it what can be done to decrease the negative experiences of people who are hurt by these things. Criticism and disagreement foster conversation. Conversation leads to growth. Also, the right for counterprotesters to do their thing is protected. That too is important, not only because I personally often find counter-protesters dreadfully funny, but because difference of opinion is necessary for a democracy. Some counter-protests can be

especially productive, such as when it involves someone such as Daniel Held, a junior from Seattle, who at last semesters Brown Bag Drag raised more than one thousand dollars for Planned Parenthood, while across the street the Westboro gang fruitlessly demonstrated their hate. We must use our disagreement, and turn it productive. The country has the opportunity now with the Dr. Laura debacle, who recently went on an on-air tirade which included repeated uses of the n-word. Is this going to spur on that fabled discussion on race that, as Kansan columnist D.M. Scott pointed out a while ago, we sorely need but havent yet had? I dont know. Maybe not among the country as a whole, but even now it is still fanning the flames and getting more people involved. What I find most disturbing about this situation is not the tirade itself, but the fact of Sarah Palin and Dr. Laura complaining that her first amendment rights were violated by the storm of condemnation that followed her tirade. If you have the freedom of speech, you also have the responsibility to be accountable for what you say. Yes, you can say offensive things and spout empty rhetoric to your hearts content, but back it up or admit that you cant. Speakers have this responsibility to their audience. Democracy needs freedom of speech so people can learn about other ideas, criticize those ideas and pick the better ones to move on with.

the same direction move. Going forward, the key is spotting a trend of more people landing jobs and fewer people applying for unemployment benefits. This will reinvigorate the housing markets. Housing inventories give investors the number of existing unsold homes in the marketplace. These vacant homes need to be bought up before the market can recover. The U.S. is currently looking at the highest number of unsold homes it has ever seen, about 12.5 months worth of supply. Once we see existing homes being bought up, then we can anticipate the addition of new homes to the market as the demand for homes will eventually exceed supply. The VIX is the barometer of implied volatility of S&P 500 index options. The S&P 500 is used as the default market by professional investors because of the diversity that the S&P illustrates with its 500 companies compared to the DOW, which tracks only 30 companies. The meaning and mathematics behind the VIX are quite simple. You must first understand that the VIX is an annualized number; so we can infer that by dividing the current VIX LEVEL of 23 (recalculated every second during a trading session) by the square root of 12 (months in a year) that the market expects the S&P 500 to move up or down 6.64 percent over the next 30-day period. 23/12 months = 6.64 percent volatility over the next 30 day period. Use the VIX as a measure of when to enter and exit the markets based upon your appetite for risk. The lower the VIX, the less risky the perception of the market is. We may be in a period of extreme uncertainty, but the use of basic economic and stock market indicators are necessary when trying to navigate these rough seas. There are many indicators to look to, but these three should give you a foundation as you enter the market. From UWIRE. Marley Hughes for the Central Florida Future at the University of Central Florida.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke put it best at his Aug. 27 Jackson Hole speech: We are having a crisis of confidence in the U.S. and abroad. Though the market is unpredictable at this point in time, there is no reason to throw in the towel and wait on the sidelines. There is money to be had; you just have to know how to approach the markets. Here is a condensed list of overlooked economic and market indicators every person should know if theyre interested in making money. By following these basic indicators, you will be able to formulate your own expectations of where the general market may be heading in the near future. One indicator is unemployment claims that are released weekly by the Department of Labor. This statistic is important because of its timeliness to the markets as compared to the monthly released unemployment level statistic. When you are comparing weekover-week statistics, look for trends not just reversals. A movement can be considered a trend after three to four weeks of

Though we should be careful not to let our perceptions of a nation-state define our view towards a group of people, I think that the common attitude towards China as a potential threat is absolutely warranted considering the way the government manipulates currency as policy, spies on us and develops weapons explicitly designed to counter our forces in the Pacific. China has a hostile military relationship with us already given the Taiwan situation. Finally, the country as a whole has a very questionable record in regard to human rights and there is still rampant abuse of power going on. connerm in response to China should be seen as a partner, not as a threat on Sept. 6.

Jewish students celebrate New Year

BY JUSTINE PATTON
jpatton@kansan.com Students may have heard the long, high-pitched sound of a shofar on Wednesday sounding the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Our goal this year on campus is to blow everyone away, Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel said. KU students crafted their own shofars, a Jewish horn traditionally made from a rams horn, during Chabads Shofar Factory on Wescoe Beach Tuesday in preparation for Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which lasts from Wednesday evening until Friday. Daniel Held, a junior from Seattle, was one of the first to create his own shofar. To create his horn, Held inserted a metal wire into his ram horn to see how hollow the horn was. Then, he sawed the end of the horn to create a small hole. Next, God and the New Year. he attempted to drill into the Tiechtel said making and blowhorn to make the hole bigger, but ing the Shofars is only one of his failing power tool made the the traditions of Rosh Hashanah. task a difficult one.

Tiechtel said one of his goals during Rosh Hashanah is to make students who cannot be at home during the holiday feel as comfortable as possible.

Since Im halfway across the country from where I usually am, Im really lucky to be around people that love me, Stein said.

Call center fights suicide in Lawrence

BY ALLYSON SHAW
ashaw@kansan.com Ten people committed suicide in Douglas County during the first five months of 2010, according to the coroners office. Headquarters Counseling Center, at the corners of Eighth and Rhode Island streets, provides five phone lines and a welcoming environment for anyone who may be contemplating suicide. This week is suicide prevention week and Headquarters is teaming up with Lawrence Memorial Hospital to help Lawrence residents learn how to prevent suicide. Marcia Epstein has worked at Headquarters since 1975 when she began volunteering during her sophomore year at the University. Epstein has been the director of Headquarters since 1979. She said this week is not only about awareness, but also action. It doesnt do any good to say, Suicide is a problem, Epstein said. We need to say, Heres what you can do. During the interview, Epstein grasped her phone, waiting for a text. She was counseling a KU student who feared for the life of his friend. Epstein said Headquarters received 50 to 60 calls a day, 10 to 15 of which are people or the friends of people who are at risk of committing suicide. Because of the confidential nature of their jobs, Adam and Chris, Headquarters volunteers, have requested The Kansan not use their last names. Chris, a senior from Topeka, said didnt get enough calls from KU that people often can call the center students and recent graduates conto find out about things such as free sidering the stress theyre under. clothing, homeless shelters, mental She said she believed that technolhealth services, help with bills and ogy was part of the problem. rape or domestic violence.

fewer volunteers than they had 20 years ago, and its declining. Its because of a new socialcultural attitude, Epstein said. People are more self-focused and less community-focused. Centers like ours are closing around the country. Chris said volunteers need to have the ability to listen and to have an open mind, because often calls come in from people who are confused about their sexuality or are pregnant and dont know what

to do. Some call because its their only outlet for human support or human connection, Chris said. They might not necessarily be suicidal, they just have no one to talk to. These people just want to know that someone recognizes they have problems. Call 1-800-784-2433 or 1-800273-8255 if you or someone you know needs to talk. Edited by Michael Bednar

Headquarters Counseling Center provides these tips when someone you know shows signs of being suicidal -Listen and show you care. -Ask the question, Are you thinking about suicide? -Find someone to be with the person and someone trained in suicide prevention to help. -eliminate access to firearms, large amounts of medications and other dangers. -never keep a secret about suicide.

Gill chooses Webb to start Saturday, pick disappointed

mgalloway@kansan.com twitter.com/themattgalloway After being named the backup just three weeks ago, freshman quarterback Jordan Webb will start the second game of the season this Saturday against Georgia Tech at Memorial Stadium. However, we have not seen the last of sophomore quarterback Kale Pick. Coach Turner Gill ended four days of speculation Wednesday, naming Webb the starter for the teams matchup with the No. 15 Yellow Jackets. We believe right now is the best time to have Jordan go, and were going to give him a chance to see what he can do in game action, Gill said. On Aug. 19, Gill announced Pick won the starting job. But after a shaky performance against North Dakota State in a 6-3 loss last Saturday, he decided the freshman from Union, Mo. was the right man for the job. Obviously Im excited, Webb said. Its what Ive wanted all along. Its what everyone wants, to be the starter. I hope its something I can run with. Webb replaced Pick early in the fourth quarter against North Dakota State with the game on the line. Perhaps the coaching staff s decision during crunch time last Saturday was an indication of things to come. Losing the initial starting battle frustrated Webb, but it also motivated him. The coaching staff hopes that resiliency translates to the field against Georgia Tech. I got beat out for a spot, Webb

said. If that doesnt motivate you, nothing will. Webb finished Saturdays game 6-for-11, netting 59 yards. One area of concern is Webbs mobility he was sacked twice in less than 12 minutes of game time. Actually starting the game will be advantageous for Webb, who said there is a huge difference between preparing as a starter and coming in as a substitution. When you come in the fourth quarter, youre cold, Webb said. You just get a few minutes and you go in. If youre starting, you get in the flow of a game and you get your reads down. Pick finished 13-for-22 with 138 yards, but an ill-timed interception in the North Dakota State endzone may have cost him his job. He was frustrated after the decision was made Wednesday, but Gill feels comfortable knowing Picks anger comes from a good place his intense passion to help the team and be the squads leader. Hes disappointed, not happy about it, but in some aspects thats a good thing, Gill said. I hope a person is not happy when hes not playing. Thats a competitor, and I know Kale is a competitor. He wants to play and he thinks hes the best guy for it, and thats a great thing. Gill still sees playing time in Picks future, perhaps as soon as this Saturday, as he needs both his quarterbacks on their toes and ready to step in if needed. Im not going to say hell come in at this particular time, but I will say there is a good chance he will get some playing time, Gill said. Edited by Clark Goble

Athletes juggle the right and wrong

n a time when media and fans are their harshest critics, college athletics programs are under serious pressure, which can amount to breaking points with sobering consequences. From steroids to invalid ACT scores, who is to blame? Well, lately its been the coaches for bringing in unruly players or athletic directors for not keeping a better eye on their programs. But deep down I think that, while the administrators may be keeping a watchful eye, the fault can be put on the student-athletes. If this werent the case, Bill Self wouldnt have to continue awkwardly answering questions about when freshman Josh Selby will be cleared to play. There are stories across the nation of athletes behaving badly, even ruining the reputations of their schools. The perfect example of late is the Heisman Trophy Trust potentially taking back former University of Southern California running back Reggie Bushs 2005 Heisman Trophy. After an investigation into the USC football program, it was found that Bush had accepted improper benefits and was even, in fact, ineligible to play his awardwinning season. The Trojans are now looking at four years of probation, a two-year bowl ban and a reduction in football scholarships. One of the common arguments regarding these issues is that the athletes are 18. Theyre young and naive, making them possibly more vulnerable in controversial situations, especially when money is fanned in their faces. But if this is true, then why are there so many athletes not giving into temptation? Jayhawk Nation had a laugh when it turned out that Derrick Rose from Memphis had an invalidated SAT score a month

Prison Ball Club recognizes steady increase in members, interest in dodgeball-like game
BY MIKE VERNON mvernon@kansan.com What do you get when you mix 35 to 40 college students with 25 light, round and red rubber balls? A high-intensity fastpaced game known as prison ball. Prison ball is a dodgeball based game with a few minor changes that make the game a little different. Its fast paced. Its crazy, twoyear prison ball veteran Mike Edited by Clark Goble Pitt said. The balls fly on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. at the Ambler Student Recreation Fitness Center on the indoor soccer court. The Prison Ball Club began in 2008, and has seen steady growth since the clubs inaugural season. McGonigle estimates that an average of 35 people show up each week. Around 200 different people will show up at least once during a semester. To start a game, two teams take the court splitting it down the middle. Basic dodgeball rules apply except for one change: If players get hit, they arent out of the game. Instead, they go to a jail located in the opponents goal. The way to get out of jail is to catch a ball thrown from the far side of the court by a teammate. The tweaks in the rules make it a quicker game. Its more of a continuous dodgeball game, club president Miles McGonigle said. Generally people have more Adam Buhler/KANSAN fun with it. Zack Harding, freshman from West Des Moines, takes aim and flings a dodgeball at an opponent. Prison ball games are played on Wednesdays. Prison ball is a game in which players must be aware. They have to constantly be on the lookout for balls that end up near all areas of the body. Everyone has their favorite shot, and McGonigle is no different. When you hit someone right in the chest, and it makes that hollow thump! sound, you know you got that guy really good, McGonigle said. Prison ball regular Joe Bond said that the first time you play can often be the most intense. He said he knows from experience. This huge kid just rocked me in the face, and I was like, Oh my God, that was awesome, Bond said. Although face shots are a part of the game, the players try to keep everything friendly. Before the competitors take the court for the first time McGonigle requests that no one intentionally aims for anyones face. For the most part, its all about coming out, having fun and enjoying the sport, McGonigle said. Just about everyone has experienced dodgeball in their middle or high school gym class, and McGonigle feels that this isnt much different. Its gym class but at a college level, he said. The regulars love the game and are convinced that if anyone comes to try it once, they will be hooked. McGonigle and Bond have made friends through playing. Each player really seems to look forward for those two hours on Wednesday nights where they can put their troubles and homework aside and focus on not getting hit. Its the pinnacle of my week, Pitt said.

kgier@kansan.com after Kansas beat Memphis for the 2008 National Championship. The school was stripped of its national championship appearance and was quickly abandoned by then-coach John Calipari. And the University doesnt exactly have a clean slate either. From Selby to accusations that former forward Darrell Arthur had grades changed for him in high school. Unless you know everything about a program, you cant possibly know their dirty little secrets. Amid the drama and suspicion surrounding the sudden resignation of Lew Perkins, I wonder what more there is to this story so close to home. I wish to focus on the positives he brought to this campus. He was indeed athletics director for a Jayhawk NCAA National Championship in 2007 and an Orange Bowl appearance in 2008, not to mention signing a ten-year contract with coach Bill Self. Kansas has gladly been known as a traditional team. There have always been Kansas natives on the team for as far back as Ive been following the school. And it wasnt until last year that Self had his first one-and-done player, Xavier Henry. I am proud of the integrity of the athletes and I hope they keep it up. The college system does not ruin players; its the narrow desires of fame and fortune they seek before their due time. Edited by Leslie Kinsman

I think the environment that were going to play in Cedar Falls is going to be much more of a hostile environment than Memorial Stadium in Kansas. That was pretty docile. And the type of team that were going to be playing is going to be a much more physical, aggressive football team than KU. And quite frankly I think were going to be playing a better opponent. I know one school is in the Big 12 and the other one is in the Missouri Valley. I think that gives an indication on how we see Missouri Valley play and the respect we give Northern Iowa.

Soccer team celebrates in style

players. Stjarnan FC, a professional soccer team from the small European island, has earned international recognition not for how many goals they score, but instead for what they do after scoring. Theyve invented such elaborate goal celebrations as a human toilet, a Rambo re-enactment, and (my personal favorite) a forward giving birth to a soccer ball. Were not talking amateur, TerrellOwens-with-a-sharpie-in-his-sock sort of stuff. This is high-quality, well-choreographed, on-field sports theater at its finest. Stjarnans elaborate post-goal performances have earned hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and even a spot on ESPNs weekly Top 10 plays. Stjarnan isnt the most talented team around. In fact, theyre currently the seventh-best team in Icelands mediocre professional soccer league. But thats not important. This team is leaving its mark on the sports world because some eccentric player had the brilliant idea to spend less time practicing actual soccer and more time designing mini-skits to perform on the rare occasion that his team puts the ball in the net. Theres no denying it has paid off. After all, can I name one player from the entire Icelandic league? No. Do I have Stjarnans human fish celebration memorized? Of course.

Jayhawks ready to rebound from loss

BY SARA KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com A little setback will not be a pitfall for the Jayhawks; the double header on Friday against Winthrop and Northern Iowa will be met by a different team. Freshman Caroline Jarmoc, a 6-foot-2 middle blocker, is not the most vocal of the Jayhawks. However her solid coverage and powerful attacks did not go unnoticed against Middle Tennesse State Tuesday. Collecting five kills and accomplishing a team-high attack percentage of .273, sweet Caroline was not so sweet. Although the outcome of the game was not in the Jayhawks favor, the team never quit battling through the three-game series. They just missed the mark with scores of 25-19, 25-15 and 25-19.

Gill puts Hatch back at center for Saturday

BY MAX VOSBURGH
mvosburgh@kansan.com Junior lineman Jeremiah Hatch will take over at center for redshirt freshman quarterback Jordan Webbs first start this Saturday against Georgia Tech. Hatch had started 24 straight games, the most of any current player, before he was kept out of last weeks game in favor of senior lineman Sal Capra. Hatch and Webb will team up this week after both were forced to watch most of the game from the bench last Saturday against North Dakota State. We spoke on Sunday and a little bit on Tuesday and he expressed that it was difficult for him to stand on the sideline there and watch his teammates play, Webb said. But he understood what the situation was and hes prepared to go out and play this week. Webb will be making his first collegiate start under the experienced Hatch. Im definitely comfortable with Hatch at center, Webb said. Hes a good offensive lineman. Hes going to definitely give us a chance to be special on the offensive line. Senior lineman Sal Capra, who started at center last week, will make the transition over to left guard, replacing sophomore Duane Zlatnik. Capra, a team captain, recognizes the value Hatch has to this teams offensive line. Hes certainly got a lot of experience in there, Capra said. Hes a guy whos got a lot of passion. Hatch has had a very productive career at Kansas so far. He started every game at tackle his freshman year and was moved to center last year, but he wasnt ready to take over at the beginning of this season. He was just not prepared to play as far as we coaches evaluated him throughout the preseason camp, coach Turner Gill said. However, like Webb, Hatch was able to able to prove he had made enough progress that he was ready to start this week. Hes progressed continually for us the last two to three weeks, Gill said. We believe that hes prepared to go out and give the best effort and give us the best chance to be successful. Hatch approached Webb expressing his desire to make a difference in an offense that failed to score a touchdown last week. Hes hungry. Hes real hungry, Webb said. He told me Saturday after the game, Man Jordan, Im hurting. I want to be out there. I said, I know, Hatch, me too. Edited by Clark Goble

Coaches reticent over players past

McclAtcHY-tRiBUnE
LEXINGTON, Ky. Although Enes Kanter exhibited remarkable basketball ability, high school powerhouse Oak Hill Academy and two other schools passed on the chance of having him play for their teams. Two of the coaches said Wednesday that Kanters association with a professional team in his native Turkey was the reason. Oak Hill Academy Coach Steve Smith said that playing with a professional team made Kanter a risk. Ive been here 26 years, Smith said. I try to do things the right way. I felt it would be perceived wrong. His age was right. Hes a heck of a player. But I didnt want to do anything to jeopardize the program. Michael Peck, the coach at Findlay Prep, said he feared a public relations problem with having a professional player on the team. Kevin Durant is not going to play for some high school now, Peck said. Neither Smith nor Peck said he had any knowledge of Kanter being paid or receiving any compensation when playing for the Istanbul-based team Fenerbahce Ulker. A story in The New York Times Wednesday quoted Fenerbahce Ulker general manager Nedim Karakas as saying Kanter and his family received between $100,000 argument, Smith and Peck perand $150,000 over a three-year ceived Kanter as a professional period. player, and therefore not suitable Fenerbahce Ulker officials have for a high school team. shared housing and bank records Smith was contacted in the with the NCAA, The New York spring of 2009 about Kanter playTimes reported.

Kanters next stop was Findlay Prep, the school in the Las Vegas area that produced UK wing DeAndre Liggins. After two weeks, Peck decided Kanter could not play for his team. Our deal was it was a perception issue, Peck said. We just felt, from the program and school standpoint, we couldnt withstand the potential of a negative perception that would have come with that. Such a negative perception would come from the team using a professional player. Obviously, thats a no-no, Peck said. In high school, even the college level, youre dealing with amateurs. From Findlay Prep, Kanter went to Mountain State Prep in Beckley, W.Va. Then-Mountain State Coach Rodney Crawford, newly hired as an assistant at Duquesne, declined comment through a spokesman. On his fourth try, Kanter found a U.S. basketball home at Stoneridge Prep in Simi Valley, Calif. While not having to deal with a potential perception problem, Peck said that Findlay Prep also had to do without a standout player. Very talented, Peck said of Kanter. I mean, hands down, very extremely talented. ... Hes a difference maker.

Brewers conquer
ASSOciAtEd PRESS
MILWAUKEE Ryan Braun hit a three-run homer and the Milwaukee Brewers roughed up St. Louis rookie Jaime Garcia in an 8-1 win Wednesday night that kept the slumping Cardinals from gaining ground in the postseason chase. Albert Pujols hit his 36th homer in the first for the Cardinals, but that was the only run Chris Capuano (33) allowed over seven innings. Garcia (13-7) had been looking for his fourth straight win. Instead, he gave up a career-high seven runs as his ERA rose to 2.69. The Cardinals began the day six games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central. The Reds played later at Colorado. St. Louis has fallen flat chasing the Reds, losing 11 of the last 15 with 25 games to go. In those four wins, Garcia had three of them with an 0.86 ERA in the span. The 24-year-old left-hander was again expected to be the stopper, but after the second inning, it was clear he didnt have his best stuff and was gone after the fourth. Capuano scattered four hits in his longest outing since 2007. All of Milwaukees runs came with two outs. Braun tied it in the third with a single and Milwaukee scored two more on Casey McGehees single. After Corey Harts RBI single in the fourth made it 4-1, Braun homered. Braun has been sizzling down the stretch and his fourth-inning drive carried just beyond the reach of Colby Rasmus at the left-center field wall. Braun joined teammates Prince Fielder (30), Hart (27), Rickie Weeks (26) and McGehee (20) with at least 20 homers.

Wakefield scores win for Red Sox

ASSOciAtEd PRESS
BOSTON Tim Wakefield became the oldest pitcher to win for Boston, and the Red Sox backed their 44-year-old knuckleballer with five home runs Wednesday night to rough up the Tampa Bay Rays 11-5. Marco Scutaro hit two homers and Adrian Beltre, David Ortiz and Victor Martinez also connected as warm temperatures on a late-summer night helped the ball carry out of Fenway Park. Four of the shots came off Matt Garza (14-8). Wakefield (4-10) surpassed Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley, who was 43 when he got his last win for the Red Sox. The Rays dropped to 2 games behind the AL East-leading Yankees. Boston is nine behind New York. Wakefield allowed five runs on six hits and four walks in five innings. B.J. Upton hit a three-run homer for Tampa Bay. Ahead 4-0 early, the Rays let Boston tie it through three innings. Jason Bartletts RBI single in the fourth put Tampa Bay in front, but the Red Sox took the lead 7-5 and chased Garza with a three-run fifth. Martinez tied it with a leadoff homer into the back of the Red Sox bullpen. Ryan Kalish greeted reliever Chad Qualls with a go-ahead double off the left-field wall, a ball Carl Crawford mightve caught if he hadnt pulled up and played the carom. Kalish scored when third baseman Evan Longoria bounced a throw to first for an error. Garza gave up nine hits and six runs in 4 1-3 innings. He came in with a 3-0 with a 0.99 ERA in his last four starts. Martinezs RBI single off reliever Randy Choate made it 8-5 in the sixth. Scutaros second homer, his career-high tying fourth hit, made it 11-5 against Grant Balfour in the seventh. Longorias sacrifice fly had put the Rays ahead 1-0 in the first. They increased it to 4-0 in the second on Uptons homer. The Red Sox tied it by scoring two runs in both the second and third. Beltre homered into the Monster seats after Ortiz walked, cutting it to 4-2 in the second. Scutaro and Ortiz each hit solo shots into the left-field seats in the third. Bostons Lars Anderson got his first two major league hits, both singles, and drove in a run.

Swisher walk-off carries Yankees

ASSOCiAtED PrESS
NEW YORK Minus their star catcher, the New York Yankees waited at home plate in a merry pack of pinstripes as Nick Swisher circled the bases following his game-winning home run. Jorge Posada was missing but he could be back soon. Swisher hit a two-run homer off Koji Uehara in the bottom of the ninth inning Wednesday to give New York a 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles that was soon tempered by news of Posadas aching head. Following the game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi revealed that Posada felt concussion symptoms Tuesday night after getting hit by a foul ball. The switch-hitting slugger sat out Wednesday and was sent to New York-Presbyterian Hospital during the game to see a neurology specialist. Obviously, its a concern, Swisher said. A little while later, the Yankees announced tests came back negative and Posada was cleared to play. He is day to day and is expected to travel with the team on its upcoming road trip. Hes a big part of our ballclub and hopefully hell be back in the lineup in a couple of days, Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner said before the results were announced. Losing Posada would be a major blow to the AL East leaders, trying to repeat as World Series champions. Several big league stars have been sidelined by concussions for extended stretches this season, including Minnesota slugger Justin Morneau and New York Mets outfielder Jason Bay. With the Orioles closing in on their first three-game sweep in the Bronx since 1986, Alex Rodriguez opened the ninth with a single on the first pitch from Uehara (1-1). Robinson Cano flied out and Swisher, hobbled by a stiff left knee, drove a 2-0 pitch to the opposite field and into the Baltimore bullpen in left-center. It was Swishers 26th home run of the season and his third career game-ending shot. The previous one came exactly a year before, against Tampa Bays Dan Wheeler. I guess its my day, Swisher said. Its a monster win for us. Swisher began the day in an 0-for-14 slide before getting two hits. He raised his arms as he rounded first base in the ninth and tossed his helmet high in the air as he approached a mob

Emily Cressy dribbles the ball during a game last year. After sitting out the first two games, she returned to the field this weekend.

Cressy returns following absence

BY JACKSON DELAY
jdelay@kansan.com The leading scorer from one year often plays a valuable role in the next. For the Jayhawks, junior forward Emily Cressy finally has the opportunity to play this year. Cressy returned over the weekend after sitting out the first two games for an undisclosed reason. Although she was eager to get back on the field, sitting on the bench did offer a different viewpoint than playing. When Im on the field Im so into the game, we dont realize you take yourself away from the field and realize what is going on, Cressy said. Cressy is a competitor, saying that she would have rather played the two games she sat out. She also explained her anticipation leading up to playing in her first game of the year. The whole week last week I was hoping I could travel and I was really excited when I found out I could go, Cressy said. When I put on the jersey to go on the field I was just so excited. Cressy led the team last year with 12 goals, the second most in womens soccer history at the University of Kansas. She scored her first goal of the year in Sundays game against Illinois State, the lone goal that the Jayhawks had in a 2-1 loss. Cressy played all 90 minutes against Northwestern and Illinois State, on Friday and Sunday respectively. I just worked hard the whole entire game and did whatever I could to help us win, Cressy said. Fellow forward Kaitlyn Cunningham, a senior, labeled Cressy as a goal scorer, but also recognized the effect she could have on others. To be able to have her out there is either creating chances for herself, or she is helping the other people on the field to create chances for them, Cunningham said. Coach Mark Francis saw good things from Cressys first action this weekend. She has a lot of confidence and a lot of composure on the ball, Francis said. I think its something we really needed up front. In Cressys eyes, the teams goal is to win the Big 12 Championship, and she wants to help her teammates in reaching that goal. I want to be the one to push everyone to the best of their abilities, Cressy said. Edited by Lisa Curran

of jubilant teammates waiting for him at home plate. Moments later, Swisher took the familiar whipped cream pie in the face from pitcher A.J. Burnett. Was the whipped cream fresh? They hadnt done it in a while, Girardi said. Matt Wieters hit a tworun homer and Brad Bergesen pitched 6 1-3 impressive innings for Baltimore. The resurgent Orioles, with the worst record in the AL but gaining fast on Seattle, fell just short of their first five-game winning streak since June 2009. They are 21-14 under Buck Showalter, who managed the Yankees from 199295. Im proud of our guys. This one stings a bit right now, but you cant think of what couldve been, Showalter said. New York got a solid start from rookie Ivan Nova and ended a three-game skid that followed a season-best eight-game winning streak. The Yankees are the only team in the majors without a four-game losing streak this year. New York has never been on the wrong end of a three-game sweep in its new stadium, which opened last season. The only time the Yankees were swept this year was in a two-game series May 19-20 against Tampa Bay. That was the one thing I didnt want to give up a home run, Uehara said through a translator. Im not feeling good about it. Joba Chamberlain (3-4) struck out two in a hitless ninth. Slumping shortstop Derek Jeter went 0 for 4 with a throwing error, dropping his batting average to .262. Playing before an unusually sparse crowd, the Yankees finished 7-3 on their longest homestand of the season. They were 4-3 during a seven-game stretch that included six day games. New York has 22 games remaining, 15 on the road. With the Orioles trailing 1-0, Adam Jones beat out an infield single to open the fifth. Turned loose on 3-0, Wieters hit an opposite-field drive that sailed wind-aided deep into the leftfield stands. Bergesen held the Yankees to three hits through six innings. Curtis Granderson drew a leadoff walk in the third and stole second base. He scored from third on a one-out double to left by Gardner, who was cut down trying to stretch it into a triple. Felix Pie started a crisp relay.

Rooney carries English side

McclAtchy-tribune
BERLIN _ Wayne Rooney shook off his private life problems as he scored in Englands second win in Euro 2012 qualifying, and France finally also had something to smile on the night. England got its second win in as many games when Rooney opened the scoring in a 3-1 victory in Switzerland. The important win for Rooney, and manager Fabio Capello, came amid newspaper allegations since Sunday against the Manchester United hero. Wayne Rooney still has serious domestic issues to address but at least he returns home with the admiration of Englands players and supporters for a pedigree display of discipline and dynamism capped by a hugely significant goal, said The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday. France won 2-0 in BosniaHerzegovina to restore some morale after a winless World Cup exit and a 1-0 humbling by Belarus in the first qualifier last Friday. While France redeemed itself, Portugal must be concerned after a 4-4 draw with Cyprus was followed by a 1-0 defeat in Norway in the absence of star Cristiano Ronaldo (injury) and coach Carlos Queiroz (suspension for insulting doping controllers before the World Cup). With only the group winners qualifying directly for the 2012 finals in Poland and Ukraine, Portugal find themselves in an early hole amid media speculation on Wednesday that Queiroz may be axed before the end of the week. This soap opera must end as soon as possible. Of course the affair around Queiroz has a negative effect on us. And on the whole of Portugal, said midfielder Tiago. The Euro 2008 semi-finalists Russia were also licking their wounds after losing 1-0 at home to Slovakia and the Czech Republic had definitely hoped to start their campaign in a better than losing 1-0 at home against Lithuania. The so-called minnows are further catching up with the more established powers, with Scotland for instance only holding off tiny Liechtenstein 2-1 in the last minute. But Italy, Germany, World Cup runners-up Netherlands, Turkey, Sweden, Slovakia, Montenegro, Ireland and Norway joined England on a maximum six points from two games. Rooney scored his first England goal in a year as he seemingly managed to focus on the match and shook off the allegations that he had sex with a prostitute seven times last year while his wife Coleen was pregnant. The spicy details continued to pour in from the tabloids on Wednesday but manager Fabio Capello was happy for Rooney after the game. Wayne Rooney played very well. He was okay (mentally) and scoring the goal helped too, said Capello. The players want to play without other things on their minds.

Mizzou corner breaks out

McclAtchy-tribune
COLUMBIA, Mo. Easy as it was for Missouri senior cornerback Carl Gettis to recognize his performance Saturday against Illinois as the best of his volatile career, it didnt obscure his prompt recollection of the low point. That was last seasons nationally televised debacle against Texas, a 41-7 loss in which TV coverage became fixated on Gettis jawjacking with defensive coordinator Dave Steckel. They catch everything, said Gettis, managing a smile. What he called an immature mistake came after Steckel emphatically pointed out he was playing the wrong defensive scheme. Instead of accepting the fact he got the signal wrong, Gettis gave Steckel heat. Asked Monday whether his flak back reflected guts or stupidity, he said, Stupidity is probably the better word. Not guts. Steckel was not available to comment Monday, but he said little about the episode last year and probably wouldnt now. Were still close as can be, Gettis said last week. It was a tough time for me, because everybody wanted to talk to me about the situation and what happened. But, honestly, its made me a stronger person today. That seemed evident to Missouri coach Gary Pinkel even before Gettis spree of big plays Saturday, most notably a twisting, one-handed interception that was Gettis first since the 2008 season. I think hes just on a mission, and I think you saw that, Pinkel said. He wants to play at a whole different level than hes been. As cornerback counterpart Kevin Rutland put it: He showed its time to be a new Carl, and he played better than most people have ever seen him play. There are a few reasons for the apparent change in Gettis, whose start against McNeese State on Saturday will be his 39th in a row over four seasons but who acknowledges he didnt respond to the expectations like I wanted to after cracking the lineup in the fifth game of his freshman year. Fairly or not, Gettis has come to be seen as representative of a secondary that was considered most responsible for a pass defense ranked 117th and 104th in the nation the past two seasons. Its my last go-round, he said, and weve really got a point to prove in the secondary, so Ive been feeding off that. Hes also been drawing off a new mental outlook encouraged and nurtured by outgoing Missouri track coach Rick McGuire, a leading figure in sports psychology. Gettis said he has worked with McGuire on thinking the right thoughts in terms of forgetting about plays gone awry, as well as on how to keep my cool and certain times to just be quieter and listen. The issues exposed by his heckling of Steckel, in fact, seemed to lead Gettis to an openness about improving his mind-set. I had to work on myself, physically and mentally, he said, but I stand here today a better football player than a year ago.

League backs run wild on historic day

AssociAted Press
STILLWATER, Okla. The Big 12 is ready to run again. The pass-happy league thats been known in recent years for producing Heisman Trophy finalists at quarterback is now home to the nations top three rushers. Oklahoma States Kendall Hunter, Kansas States Daniel Thomas and Oklahomas DeMarco Murray pulled off a rare trifecta in the opening weekend of the season, becoming only the fifth trio in conference history to rush for 200 yards apiece on the same day. That hadnt happened in a dozen years in a conference that has lately become so passionate about passing. In fact, there had been only three 200-yard rushing performances total over the past two years much less in the same day. Texas Ricky Williams, Oklahomas DeMond Parker and Kansas David Winbush were the last Big 12 trio of 200-yard rushers, back on Oct. 24, 1998. It took until a group of topnotch quarterbacks including 2008 Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Chase Daniel and Graham Harrell cycled through the league for it to happen again. Thats natural, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. I think you play to your strengths, and when you have guys like that, you play to them. And the Big 12s running resurgence isnt just the senior trio with the gaudy numbers. Freshman Taylor Martinez had 127 yards in a revival of the running quarterback at Nebraska, and Texas has committed to being more of a run-oriented team, although Week 1 didnt produce any big numbers. At Oklahoma State, the hiring of new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, a former Mike Leach assistant who created the nations top passing offense last season at Houston, created visions of a fourreceiver spread. That all changed this summer when Holgorsen approached offensive line coach Joe Wickline with the idea of testing out a full house backfield. The Cowboys designed a new offensive formation with three running backs to feature Hunter, a third-team All-American in 2008 who missed most of last season with an ankle injury.
