The number one touring Broadway concert
brought the bright lights and big stars to the
Lied Center Thursday night in the show 100
Years of Broadway.
Lead singers from Broadway shows such
as Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, Les
Miserables and Wicked performed some
of the most recognizable songs in American
history. Although the show spans 100 years of
Broadway classics, each song finds its place in
todays society and popular culture.
Broadway is inherently appealing, said
Kevin Cook, a senior from Lenexa.
Director Neil Berg sat on stage, playing
a grand piano to songs that span genera-
tions, connecting them to American history
and American culture between each perfor-
mance.
Its like seeing 30 of the best Broadway
musicals in one night, Berg said.
University students Kelsey Flinn, a fresh-
man from Overland Park, and Megan Lounds,
a freshman from Winfield, arrived 20 minutes
before the show and were excited to see some
of their favorite songs.
Were big Broadway nerds, Flinn and
Lounds said.
Despite many of the songs connections to

What appeared to have been an
early spending spree in Student
Senate was nothing more than busi-
ness as usual, said treasurer Erin
Pishny.
Senate allocated $35,467, or 30
percent, of funds available to student
groups during its first two sessions.
Pishny said allocating such a
large percentage of Senates avail-
able funds at the beginning of the
semester was typical. Even so, she
said shed like senators to be more
meticulous before voting to approve
funding.
I would just caution people to
really look at the bills, said Pishny,
a senior from Lenexa. I would like
to see more questioning of people
in finance [committee] and in full
Senate.
The largest amount approved so
far this year was $19,100 in sal-
ary increases for members of the
Student Executive Committee.
Last year, Senate had approved
$30,365 after two full sessions, or 26
percent of its unallocated account.
Money from the unallocated
account funds events, speakers and
other activities sponsored by student
groups. It also pays for general costs
associated with those groups and
costs associated with Senate.
Money for the unallocated
account comes from a $15.50 activ-
ity fee paid by all students as a
required campus fee.
Despite the early spending spree,
Pishny said Senate should have
enough money to last through the
school year.
I dont really see it being a prob-
lem, Pishny said. We have a good
amount of money unallocated to
fund the projects that students have
on campus.
Senate to work on a
miSSion Statement
Student Body President Michael
Wade Smith announced the forma-
tion of a new taskforce designated
to create a Student Senate mission
statement Wednesday.
Senate committees each elected
two members to the Presidents
Taskforce on Mission, History and
Vision on Wednesday night. Smith
said he would choose two students
unaffiliated with Senate to also be
members.
Smith said he was shocked when
he first realized Senate didnt have a
formal mission statement. He said it
was an integral piece of any organi-
zations success.
We want to make sure that Senate
is keeping campus moving forward,
Smith said. To do that you need to
have something thats creating that
vision and that purpose for you.
Smith said hed like to see a com-
pleted mission statement by mid-
November.
As long as we display it, read it
and know it, its going to inform the
decisions we make for a lot of years
to come, Smith said.

Thieves rob house
and get away clean
ELOY, Ariz. The Pinal County
Sherifs Ofce said in two recent
burglaries, thieves entered homes,
made a mess, stole things and even
took showers.
The frst robbery on Sept. 20 oc-
curred late at night when a hom-
eowner confronted two men trying
to steal food and water.
The burglars got away but scat-
tered food and water around the
house. The homeowner also discov-
ered they had showered.
Tuesday morning, deputies re-
sponded to another Eloy residence.
The homeowner told deputies
thieves stole a knife and food and
once again used the shower.
No arrests have been made.

ODD NEWS INTERNET
Social networks blur line
between public and private
AssociAted Press
PISCATAWAY, N.J. The
shocking suicide of a college stu-
dent whose sex life was broadcast
over the Web illustrates yet again
the Internets alarming potential
as a means of tormenting oth-
ers and raises questions wheth-
er young people in the age of
Twitter and Facebook can even
distinguish public from private.
Cruel gossip and vengeful acts
once confined to the schoolyard
or the dorm can now make their
way around the world instantly
via the Internet, along with pho-
tos and live video.
Its just a matter of when the
next suicides going to hit, when
the next attacks going to hit,
said Parry Aftab, a New Jersey
lawyer who runs the website
WiredSafety.
Last week, Tyler Clementi,
a shy, 18-year-old Rutgers
University freshman and gifted
violist, jumped to his death from
the George Washington Bridge
after his roommate and another
classmate allegedly used a web-
cam to secretly broadcast his
dorm-room sexual encounters
with another man. The two class-
mates have been charged with
invasion of privacy, with the most
serious charges carrying up to
five years in prison.
The suicide shocked and dis-
turbed gay rights activists and
others on campus.
Had he been in bed with a
woman, this would not have
happened, said Rutgers student
Lauren Felton, 21, of Warren, N.J.
He wouldnt have been outed via
an online broadcast, and his pri-
vacy would have been respected
and he might still have his life.
The Associated Press found at
least 12 cases in the U.S. since
2003 in which children and young
adults between 11 and 18 killed
themselves after falling victim to
some form of cyberbullying
teasing, harassing or intimidating
with pictures or words distributed
online or via text message.
In probably the best-known
case, 13-year-old Megan Meier of
Daddenne Prairie, Mo., hanged
herself in 2006 after she received
messages on MySpace suppos-
edly from a teenage boy cruelly
dumping her. An adult neighbor
was later found guilty of taking
part in the hoax, but the convic-
tion was overturned.
Earlier this year, 17-year-old
Alexis Pilkington of West Islip,
N.Y., who had landed a college
soccer scholarship, killed herself
after receiving a stream of nasty
messages.
Gregory Jantz, founder of A
Place of Hope, a Seattle mental
health care center, said young
people who use the Internet to
spread something damaging
about others often dont realize
how hurtful it can be because
many of them have grown up in
a world that has blurred the line
between public and private.
Our kids are in a different
zone now, Jantz said.
Aftab said young people who
would never bully someone
face to face do it online in part
because of the often-false sense
of anonymity that the Internet
provides.
Theyll also jump on because
they dont want to be the next
target, Aftab said.
In Clementis case, prosecu-
tors said that his roommate,
Dharun Ravi of Plainsboro, N.J.,
and Molly Wei of Princeton,
N.J., both 18-year-old fresh-
men, transmitted a live image of
Clementi having sex on Sept. 19
and that Ravi tried to webcast a
second encounter on Sept. 21,
the day before Clementis suicide.
Lawyers for Ravi and Wei did not
return calls.
Luanne Peterpaul, vice chair-
woman of the gay rights group
Garden State Equality and a for-
mer New Jersey prosecutor, said
authorities might be able to pur-
sue the case as a hate crime under
state law if they are able to estab-
lish that the defendants acted
because they believed Clementi
was gay.
Ravi posted a message on his
now-closed Twitter account on
Sept. 19: Roommate asked for
the room till midnight. I went
into mollys room and turned on
my webcam. I saw him making
out with a dude. Yay.
Prosecutor Bruce J. Kaplan said
in a statement: We will be mak-
ing every effort to assess whether
bias played a role in the incident,
and, if so, we will bring appropri-
ate charges.
A lawyer for Clementis family
did not respond to requests for
comment on whether Clementi
had come out to friends and fam-
ily about his sexual orientation.
He also said the family had no
comment.

Te Bollywood Dance Project
Club will host its frst class tonight
at 8:30 p.m. in the aerobics room
at the Ambler Student Recreation
Fitness Center. Te class is free
and president Mahmood Khan
advises anyone who is interested
to come out.
Its a form of self-expression
and provides a lot of satisfaction,
said Khan, a senior from Bangla-
desh. Dancing has made me who
I am.
Khan has been performing Bol-
lywood shows in Kansas for fve
years. Afer several performances,
Khan said many people expressed
an interest in learning to dance in
the Bollywood style. He sees his
class as the bridge that can help
people who are interested in the
dance actually learn its unique
form.
Club treasurer and class in-
structor Arooj Khalid has been
good friends with Khan for sever-
al years, so she was right on board
when Khan decided to start the
class.
Were hoping for people who
are not into dancing too much
its a beginners class, said Khalid,
a junior from Islamabad. We want
people to come and have fun.
Te premise of the club is to
initially use Indian music to teach
Bollywood dance. Once the basics
of Bollywood are covered, Khan
will start the second phase of the
class, in which he plans to incor-
porate various types of American
music and dance. Khan said he is
considering hip-hop but is open to
anything that might ft with Bol-
lywood.
I want to experiment dance
Bollywood to American forms of
music and take American forms of
dancing and dance to Indian mu-
sic, Khan said.
Sarah Gelvin, a senior from
Overland Park, is excited for the
opportunity to learn a new dance
form.
My best friends mom is always
watching Bollywood movies, Gel-
vin said. So I have always been
pretty interested in it, and now I
have the opportunity to learn it.
For those who are unfamiliar,
Bollywood is not a physical loca-
tion, but a term that refers to the
flm industry in Mumbai, India.
Bollywood flms ofen feature
classical and folk styles of Indian
dance, and are sometimes blended
with Western dance styles in more
modern movies. Khan said Bolly-
wood is Indian, but Indian movies
and songs cater to all cultures in
South Asia.
Amna Humayon, a junior from
Fremont, Calif., and vice president
of the club, said she was excited to
help teach the class with Khan and
Khalid and create their vision of
infusing diferent dance cultures
together.
I hope the visitors walk away
with some feeling of satisfaction
and want to come back for another
class just to expand their hori-
zons and diversify their activities,
Humayon said.
Te club doesnt require any
particular clothing. Just dress
comfortably and bring an open-
minded attitude.

older generations, Broadway can-
not survive without young people,
he said. That is why Berg was excit-
ed to perform at the Lied Center
and in front of college audiences
generally because of the energy
younger people bring.
We who are the life-blood of
Broadway know that Broadway
cannot survive unless young people
come to the theater, Berg said.
Today other forms of musicals
have captured the ears of many
young fans. Shows such as Glee
and movies such as High School
Musical have brought a form of
Broadway to a younger audience.
Berg and Carter Calvert, one of
the singers in the show, agree that
these forms of musicals are nothing
but good for Broadway.
Shows like Glee are popular-
izing this art form that has been
around forever, said Calvert, who
has been on Broadway for 10 years
and has performed in shows such
as Cats.
Its just making people aware of
it, she said.
Flinn and Lounds agreed that
shows like Glee can interest
younger generations in the classic
shows of Broadway shows like
Grease.
Just 20 minutes into the show,
all four of the cast members came
out on stage to sing a rendition
of Grease Lighting. Calvert was
approached coolly by a man in
sunglasses Rob Evan, who has
performed in Les Miserables and
is also the lead singer of the band
Tran Siberian Orchestra. Evan asks
her in an Elvis Presley voice if she
wants to go for a ride in his car.
She replies, You have a car?
And just before the memorable
tune of Grease Lightning begins,
he replies in a deep and seductive
voice.
Yeah Its a hybrid.

RALEIGH, N.C. A mas-
sive rainstorm drenched the
East Coast from the Carolinas
to Maine on Thursday, caus-
ing at least five deaths, flood-
ing roads and washing away
months of dry weather.
The worst of the rain fell
in North Carolina, where
Jacksonville picked up 12 inch-
es nearly a quarter of its
typical annual rainfall in the
six hours. Four people, includ-
ing two children, were killed
when the sport utility vehicle
they were traveling in skidded
off a rain-slicked highway and
tumbled into a ditch filled with
water, North Carolina troop-
ers said. A fifth victim like-
ly drowned when his pickup
veered off the road and into a
river that was raging because of
the rain.
The rain was part of a system
moving ahead of the remnants
of Tropical Storm Nicole, which
dissipated over the Straits of
Florida on Wednesday.
In Walpole, N.H., Erin
Bickford said the deluge was
a welcome sight for her eight
acres of vegetables. She said she
hoped the moisture also would
recharge wells that went dry in
the town.
We had almost no rain at
all. Often, we could see it rain-
ing across the river, but it didnt
come here. It was just dust. Even
if it did rain, it would be a tiny
bit, maybe half an inch, she
said.
North Carolina Highway
Patrol Trooper Gary Edwards
said troopers initially reported
five people were killed in the
crash because two children,
3-year-old twins, did not have a
pulse when emergency workers
arrived on scene. However, res-
cuers were able to revive them
and they were taken to a hospi-
tal alive. One of the twins later
died, a news release from the
patrol said.
Edwards said the family of
five from Atlanta was travel-
ing westbound on U.S. 64 east
of Creswell around 12:20 p.m.
when their Jeep Cherokee hit a
patch of standing water, hydro-
planed and skidded off the
highway into the ditch.
The four killed were iden-
tified as the driver, Daniel
Alvarez, 25; his wife, Natalie
Owens, 26; Zacharia Alvarez, 3;
and Ariela Alvarez, 1. Zacharias
twin, Ezekiel, was taken to a
hospital in Greenville, N.C.
Baltimore Gas and Electric
says approximately 40,000 of its
Maryland customers have lost
power.
Forecasters expected those
heavy winds to spread up the
coast, possibly toppling trees
and power lines made unstable
by the saturated ground.
Te winds also were churn-
ing up big waves that were eat-
ing away at a living shoreline
of rocks, sand and grasses built
this year on the western shore
of the Chesapeake Bay in Mary-
land, said Bob Gilbert from his
waterfront home in Churchton,
about 10 miles south of An-
napolis.
Te rain caused several other
wrecks Tursday, including a
crash between two transit buses
in Maryland that lef 26 people
hurt.
Obamas chief of staf to leave
ofce and enter mayoral race
AssOCIAtEd PREss
CHICAGO White House
chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is set
to give up his influential national
post Friday to begin a run for
Chicago mayor, a job he has long
coveted but wont win unless he
persuades voters hes still one of
them.
People close to Emanuel said
he will fly home over the weekend
and hit the streets Monday to talk
to voters, after announcing his
resignation Friday. White House
spokesman Robert Gibbs says
only that President Barack Obama
will make a personnel announce-
ment Friday morning, but even
his vague comments made it emi-
nently clear Emanuel is leaving.
He intends to run for mayor,
one person close to Emanuel told
The Associated Press, requesting
anonymity to avoid pre-empting
the announcement.
The move pits Emanuel, one
of the most powerful men in the
nation, against a growing field of
local politicians vying for the job
that will be vacated next spring
by Mayor Richard M. Daley, who
announced last month that he will
not seek a seventh term.
Emanuels victory in the race is
not a sure thing, with rivals cer-
tain to attack the longtime politi-
cal operative and former congress-
man as a brusque outsider who
belongs more to Pennsylvania
Avenue than Michigan Avenue,
more to the halls of Congress than
City Hall.
Two people close to him said
Thursday they did not know when
Emanuel would officially declare
he was entering the mayoral race,
but that he would launch a website
with a message to Chicago voters
in the near future.
Emanuel has certainly left his
mark on Washington, D.C., where
his departure, expected by the
political world ever since Daleys
surprise announcement, remains
an unquestioned loss for Obama.
The president has counted on
Emanuels intensity, discipline
and congressional relationships to
keep the White House focused
and aggressive. Holding a job with
nearly unrivaled pressure and
power, Emanuel has been true to
form at the White House a
briskly moving political manager
who is prone to profanity and
driven to delivering on the presi-
dents directives.
Obama is expected to install
senior adviser Pete Rouse, a calm
White House presence with his
own seasoned understanding of
how Washington work, to serve as
interim chief of staff. Gibbs said
the president has complete loy-
alty and trust in Rouse, though
he wouldnt confirm Rouse had
been tapped for the interim post.
The president is likely to choose a
permanent chief of staff after the
Nov. 2 midterm elections.

Filmmaker gains audience
online, loses ticket profts

LOS ANGELES Greg Carter
spent the last three years scraping
together $250,000 to write, direct
and produce A Gangland Love
Story, a gritty, urban retelling of
Romeo and Juliet.
Since its DVD release in July,
audiences have embraced it: More
than 60,000 viewers have watched
the movie on the Internet, giving
the independent flmmaker a cov-
eted public following.
Unfortunately, winning an audi-
ence has come at a steep price. Te
viewers of Carters flm watched it
from pirate movie sites and never
paid for it. Carter fgures the un-
authorized viewing has cost him
as much as $100,000 in lost rev-
enue, dashing hope that hell ever
see a proft.
It feels like someone is walking
into your house and stealing your
furniture, said Carter, 38. Te big
studios can absorb it, but guys like
me, were not millionaires. Were
fghting like crazy for every dollar,
every nickel, every penny just to
survive in this marketplace.
Te Hollywood studios have for
years warned that piracy harms
their business, especially when
copies of big summer movies leak
out on the Internet and undercut
ticket sales. But the alarms havent
elicited much sympathy among
the public.
Carters case illustrates how
movie piracy is undermining the
small fry of Hollywood: the in-
dependent flmmakers, who have
also been squeezed by tighten-
ing credit and fewer outlets for
their work as the studios have re-
trenched from making specialty
flms.
Te spread of high-speed In-
ternet services and streaming
sofware has made it easy for con-
sumers to watch movies and TV
shows without paying the people
who create them. Filmmakers
like Carter, who typically cant af-
ford the battery of lawyers to go
afer purveyors of unauthorized
content, have been hit especially
hard.
Most independent flmmakers
dont rely on ticket sales to recoup
their investment because the ma-
jority of their flms never make it
into theaters. Instead, indepen-
dent flms rely on DVD sales when
their movies head directly into the
home video market. But consum-
ers have substantially cut back on
their purchases
of DVDs as le-
gitimate online
viewing options
become readily
available.
Some flm-
makers and
distributors are
fghting back,
hiring lawyers
to fle copyright
i nf ri ngement
cases against websites that of-
fer free movies, as well as against
individuals suspected of illegally
downloading from fle-sharing
services.
Te most high-profle case in-
volves Te Hurt Locker, which
won six Oscars but earned only
$16.4 million at the box ofce in
the U.S. and Canada, an unusu-
ally low gross for a best-picture
winner. Some blamed the efects
of online piracy the movie was
available on the Web months be-
fore its arrival in theaters. Volt-
age Pictures, the flms producer,
obtained IP addresses for 5,000
people it claims shared the flm il-
legally. Voltage is now suing them,
following a similarly controver-
sial tactic used by the Recording
Industry Assn. of America sev-
eral years ago in an efort to fght
the piracy of music.
More people downloaded the
movie for free than actually paid
for it, said Tomas Dunlap, who
has fled copyright infringement
lawsuits on behalf of more than
a dozen indie flmmakers and
distributors, including Voltage
and Maverick Entertainment
Group, the company that distrib-
uted Carters movie.
Some relief has come from the
federal government. Tis summer,
federal authorities seized domain
names of nine websites such as
TVShack.net and TePirateCity.
org that ofered downloads of
pirated movies and drew 6.7 mil-
lion visitors a month. But, under-
scoring how difcult it is to crack
down on Internet piracy, a Dutch
website that the government shut
down popped up just days later
under a slightly diferent name.
Some flmmakers have taken
matters into their own hands. Ellen
Seidler, who teaches journalism at
UC Berkeley,
used her re-
tirement sav-
ings and took
out a second
mortgage on
her home to
co- produce
and co-direct
her frst flm,
And Ten
Came Lola,
a lesbian ro-
mantic comedy that has played on
the flm festival circuit.
Since its DVD release in May,
Seidler has discovered at least
2,000 diferent copies of the mov-
ie, some with subtitles in Chinese,
Russian, Arabic and Turkish, and
more than 25,000 illegal down-
load links and streams to her flm
on various websites.
Seidler ofen spends several
hours each day fring of e-mails
and take down notices to web-
sites that have free links to her flm,
ofen alongside advertising from
legitimate companies such as Sony
Corp., RadioShack Corp. and Net-
fix Inc. Te links disappear only
to reappear on another site. Its
like playing whack a mole, she
said. Sitting here watching our
work getting taken away its just
disheartening. Were independent
artists and were the ones who can
least aford it.
A Gangland Love Story was
released on DVD and on video-
on-demand in late July and got
write-ups in the Houston Chron-
icle and Voice of America.
It feels like someone is
walking into your house
and stealing your
furniture.

ITS KIND OF A FUNNY STORY
OPENS FRI OCT 8
O
ne of my readers criticized
afer my last column
that I write about sex
but not enough about safety. Even
though Ive written on safe sex
last semester, I should include
important information about safe
sex again. I agree.
I cant give details in every
column, but each semester brings
new students, and each student
who decides to be sexually active
needs to be aware that what is
fun can quickly turn into a life-
changing disaster.
We always like to think about
the positive things that intimacy
brings: afection, passion, desire
and satisfaction. But sex is
primarily something that most
college students dont want at this
young age: reproduction. Even
when youre young, in love and just
want to have fun, having sex can
change your life forever.
Imagine the following: You
spend a comfortable night at home
with your partner, cuddle up to
him, watch a movie, start kissing
and making out. You really want
to sleep with him, but you dont
have a condom. Maybe, as a girl,
you think you cant conceive at
the moment because you just had
your period and are not ovulating
yet. Or, as a guy, you think you can
just mess around a little but not go
through with it until the end. Next
thing you know, youre standing in
the drugstore buying a pregnancy
test because you, or your girlfriend,
are late. Your life could just have
changed forever.
Even if you are pro-choice
and decide to have an abortion
(which everyone should decide for
themselves, not for someone else),
it will afect you for the rest of your
life. Every woman I heard about
who had an abortion described it
as one of the worst decisions they
ever had to make.
Whatever option you choose
afer getting pregnant, it will be
worse than worrying about safe
sex. But it afects everyone who is
sexually active, whether man or
woman.
Which brings me to another
question: Who is responsible for
safety, men or women? Some say
women because they bear the
consequences of getting pregnant.
Tey should use the pill, vaginal
ring or any of the other options for
women. Some say men because
they wear the condoms and
only condoms can prevent both
pregnancy and sexually transmitted
diseases.
Tere is only one right answer:
both. Tose who make the decision
to have sex also make the decision
to prevent pregnancy and infection.
I recently talked to a male
friend about a womans options of
birth control. I asked him what he
thought would be the best option
for women. But he referred me
to a female friend for that kind of
conversation. I wondered if that
reaction was due to lack of interest
or lack of information.
In the end, knowing what
possibilities women have for
birth control also afects men
because it saves both from negative
consequences. Dont think of
women as the responsible ones or
those who take care of it. We can
all make mistakes or be negligent.
But this negligence can quickly lead
to pain and sufering. It can change
your life forever.
Bledowski is a graduate student
from Kracow, Poland, in jour-
nalism.
T
he search committee for
Lew Perkins replacement
as athletics director has
been formed.
While the swif formation of
this committee was a good move
by the chancellors ofce, the
committee lacks an important
member: a representative of the
student body.
Ray Evans, the leader of the
committee, said they wanted the
group to be small and comprised
of members who have had experi-
ence serving on a search commit-
tee or with hiring people. Evans
said it would have been tough to
fnd a student with that kind of
experience.
Tough Evans is correct in his
assumption that few students have
a background in hiring someone
for such a powerful position, it
would not be the sole responsibil-
ity of the student to choose the
new athletics director. Tey would
merely serve as a voice speaking
for the student body.
In a news release issued
Sept. 17, Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little named the commit-
tees six members: Kenneth L.
Audus, dean of the KU School
of Pharmacy and professor of
pharmaceutical chemistry; Linda
Ellis Sims, an account executive
with ExxonMobil Corp; Tomas
Ward, president and CEO of Rus-
sell Stover Candies in Kansas City,
Mo.; Ritch Price, baseball coach at
KU; Debbie Van Saun, associate
athletics director and senior wom-
ens administrator; and Evans,
the groups leader and managing
partner of Pegasus Capital Man-
agement in Overland Park.
All of the members of the com-
mittee are
qualifed
for the
positions,
and have
varying
back-
grounds
that tie
them
to the
University.
But it is
disap-
pointing
that a stu-
dent was not selected to represent
the student body.
Perkins replacement will not
only serve as a representative of
Kansas Athletics, he or she will
also represent the University and
its students. Te opinion of the
student body should be included
in this important decision.
While Kansas Athletics Inc. is
a private company that is separate
from the University, students pay
$40 each a semester to the depart-
ment through student fees. Tis,
on top of the tickets and merchan-
dise students purchase, makes the
student body a large representa-
tive of Kansas Athletics Inc.s
revenue. Tey should have a say in
who represents them as athletics
director.
An ap-
propriate
representative
of the student
body would be
a prominent
member of
student senate.
Students
should let
committee
members and
the chancellor
know that they
want their
voices heard and their opinions
included when the committee
meets in the next few weeks and
when the decision is eventually
made to hire the new athletics
director.

Pursuit of health ideal led
to pain for self and others
HeALTH
F
ew people set out with
goals to hurt others.
Yet, as history has
repeatedly shown, it happens.
Aside even from the
worlds most memorable
events of evil, smaller cases
of wrongdoing happen day
afer day, year afer year.
Unlike Hitler, who
undoubtedly had a moment
where he thought, Hmm,
maybe this isnt such a good
idea, the majority of pain-
infiction happen with otherwise
good intentions.
I know this, because Ive
been there. Although the pain
I caused was less than that of
a holocaust or genocide, it was
still very real.
Last year, I got very hung up
on the idea of being healthy. I
listened to all of the nutritional
advice, attempted all the
exercise tips and pushed my
body to its limit. Ten, I turned
around and ofered advice to
others on how to be similarly
healthy.
But, somewhere along the
way, I passed the boundaries of
healthfulness and crossed into
dangerous territory.
Instead of getting stronger
and ftter, I was getting weaker.
Yet, I continued to preach of
healthfulness.
Consequently, not only was
I hurting myself but I was
certainly hurting the self-esteem
and confdence of those around
me.
Even worse, I was hurting my
friends and family. Tese people
were forced to witness to all of
this, yet were helpless in taking
action.
It was only when I was
shocked very harshly back into
reality, that I realized just how
wrong my perception of health
had become.
Since that time, Ive taken
a step back and assessed
whats important in life. From
this refection, Ive come to
recognize that health is and
will always be important to me.
However, Ive also recognized
that I never should sacrifce the
pursuit of healthfulness for the
pursuit of happiness.
Afer all, Tomas Jeferson
was a smarter man than I.
Not everyone will face the
same issues as meor so I hope.
Unfortunately, Im sure that
everyone will face challenges of
some kind.
Tis isnt a sentence to a life
of pain or an excuse to feel self-
pity. Instead, the torment we all
experience is an opportunity.
Refect on it, learn from it and
grow because of it. Ten, pass
the lesson on.

Lincoln, neb., in journalism.

Internet wiretaps the wrong step
On April 7, 2009, about
10,000 young Moldovans
charged forth, weapons in hand,
and set fame to Moldovas
parliament building, afer a
Communist Party victory. With
the utilization of Twitter, e-mail
and Facebook, the young people
were able to assemble quickly
and leave authorities stunned by
the seemingly sudden appear-
ance of thousands of protesters.
In reaction to the Twitter
Revolution, as it was called in
Te Washington Post, Internet
service in Chisinau, the capital
of Moldova, was immediately
cut of. Te United States, while
free of Communist reign for the
moment, intends to emulate this
practice of tapping into virtual
methods of communication.
According to a recent article
in Te New York Times, of-
fcials want Congress to require
all services that enable commu-
nications including encrypted
e-mail transmitters like Black-
Berry, social networking Web
sites like Facebook and sofware
that allows direct peer to peer
messaging like Skype to be
technically capable of complying
if served with a wiretap order.
Idealistically, if taking this
step would aid the U.S. govern-
ment in more successfully
wiretapping and monitoring
criminal and terrorism suspects,
as it argues that its ability to do
so is sufering, then inviting the
government into all Blackberry
conversations might be accept-
able to U.S. citizens. However,
just like Communism, the idea
may appeal on paper but, in
practice, presents a dangerous
opportunity for the government
to abuse its power and step on
the rights of its citizens.
Video chats, Bbm (Blackberry
Messenger), text messages, Twit-
ter, Facebook and e-mails have
become as personal as letters
once were, if not more so by
tapping into their content, the
government would be chang-
ing the relationship people have
created with these methods of
communication.
While the government argues
the safety benefts of wiretap-
ping the digital world, allow-
ing it to take this initial step
presents the constant fear that
it could exploit this new power,
attacking the most minute of
issues such as locating parties
with underage drinking.
Although there are clearly
larger issues the U.S. govern-
ment needs to tackle, it boils
down to holding onto the small
shred of privacy, real or imag-
ined, that is possible in todays
interconnected world.

The mens and womens cross
country teams will travel to
Madison, Wis., for the Wisconsin
Adidas Invitational on Saturday.
The Jayhawks will see a much
higher level of competition,
including a handful of nationally
ranked teams, than in their past
two meets.
Some of the Big 12 teams that
will be competing against Kansas
are Nebraska and Texas A&M.
The mens 8K race will begin at 11
a.m. and the womens 5K race will
begin shortly after 11:45 a.m.
Junior captain Donny Wasinger
wont be too far from home when
competing at the Invitational. His
hometown of Wiona, Minn., is
just three hours away, and he is
excited to see his family and old
high school track coaches that will
be there to cheer him along.
Wasinger has confidence in
the mens team this Saturday and
doesnt think that its two-week
break from competing will affect
its performance.
This last two weeks have
probably been the most difficult
practices that well have all year,
he said. Weve been steady dur-
ing these two weeks in practices,
remained healthy, and overall just
made sure to take care of our-
selves.
To remain this positive,
Wasinger and the other captains
on the mens team have been
stressing teamwork during their
practices.
The workouts have been
intense enough and weve been
keeping the intensity up during
the workouts, Wasinger said.
This has helped get through to
the guys that this is college and
were ready to get serious.
Although confident, he knows
that there will be some tough com-
petition at this upcoming meet.
The teams plan is to not focus on
one team but to focus on feeding
off each other.
We know how to run togeth-
er and everyone knows how to
find one another during the race,
Wasinger said. This and working
together will play a big role in our
teams success.
The womens team is anticipat-
ing this race because the whole
team will finally be competing.
Senior Amanda Miller and juniors
Rebeka Stowe and Kara Windisch
will be racing with the team for
the first time this year after sit-
ting out minor meets early in the
season.
Its been a long time train-
ing without racing, and Im really
excited to get the whole team back
together and see how we can com-
pete as a team, Stowe said.
Just as the mens team had its
strenuous workouts, the women
also stepped up their training.
Both teams had more frequent
and increasingly difficult work-
outs during their two-week break
from meets. Stowe said her team-
mates have been trying to stick
together on the course, and she
thinks that they has been accom-
plishing that goal.
Our strategy is probably pack
running. We want to try and have
as many of us close together as
possible, Stowe said. There were
five of us who worked together
this past week and were really
tight on all of our times. As a team
we want to try and have our top
five within a 45-second span of
each other.
As a leader on the team, Stowe
has tried to keep the momentum
high and remain positive.
We know we still need to stay
focused and prepare, knowing that
at the Wisconsin meet there will
be a lot of good teams there,
Stowe said. We also have been
reiterating that we have expecta-
tions for ourselves and we need
to step up and make it happen.

the University of Miami but aired
Wednesday night.
James and longtime business
manager Maverick Carter both said
they believed race played a role in
some of the apparent dislike for
James in the aftermath of his move
in free agency to the Heat. James
announced the decision on a much
criticized hour-long ESPN special
July 8. James, an Akron, Ohio,
native, spent his first seven NBA
seasons in Cleveland, which chose
him with the No. 1 pick in 2003.
Im not going to go back on my
words, James said Thursday before
he attempted to dismiss the issue.
Sometimes (race) does play a part.
People are looking too far into it.
I said what I had to say (Monday)
and Ill continue to move on.
In the interview conducted with
CNN on Monday, James and Carter
were asked if they thought race
played a role in James popular-
ity taking a significant hit in the
months since joined Dwyane Wade
and Chris Bosh to form arguably
the leagues most polarizing team.
James was later voted among
one of the worlds most disliked
sports figures based on a poll by
the Q Scores Company last month.
According to the Q score, James
support drastically dwindled
among white fans but only slightly
dipped among African-American
followers.
Neither James nor Carter sug-
gested race was a significant factor,
but did believe it played a role in
how James recently has been per-
ceived.
I think so at times, James
said during CNNs interview. Its
always, you know, a race factor.
Among some of the most vocal
critics of James, however, have been
African-American sports icons,
including Charles Barkley, Magic
Johnson and Michael Jordan.
Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert,
who is white, was fined $100,000
by the NBA in July for offensive
statements he made about Jamess
departure.
In the minutes after James
made his announcement July 8,
news cameras captured images of
some white fans burning replicas
of James No. 23 Cavs jerseys in
Cleveland.
James initially took exception
to the views of those three Hall of
Fame players. But James also said
Monday that he respects Jordan,
Barkley and Johnson and credited
them with paving the way for cur-
rent players. James said he has not
talked to Gilbert since signing with
Miami.
Since training camp practices
started Tuesday at the Hulburt
Fields Air Force Base, James
repeatedly has declined to talk
about the events that played out in
summer free agency. But he quickly
addressed the CNN interview and
shifted to other topics.
His teammates and coaches came
to James defense, but also made it
clear that the issue hasnt been a
distraction during training camp.
Asked about James com-
ments after Thursdays practice,
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he
couldnt imagine how James felt
about the backlash.
I dont walk in LeBrons shoes,
Spoelstra said. From our stand-
point, weve moved on from the
summer.
Bosh also made a bold decision
to leave Toronto after seven seasons
and was criticized by some team
officials on his way to Miami.

Junior wide receiver
Kendall Wright
Baylors quarterback will be
airing it a lot
against Kansas
and his main
target has been
junior wide
receiver Kendall
Wright. The
510receiver
has 1,632 career
receiving yards
and 11 touchdowns. Last week
against Rice, he had seven recep-
tions for 106 yards and a touch-
down.
Junior wide receiver
Daymond Patterson
Patterson seems to have
developed into
the freshman
quarterback
Jordan Webbs
favorite target
his 22 recep-
tions and 206
yards are both
team highs. For
the junior from Mesquite, Texas,
the game will be a homecoming
of sorts as he takes the feld in his
home state for the only time this
season. Not only will Patterson
have friends in the stands, but he
is also familiar with many players
on the Bears roster. He should be
extra-motivated this Saturday.

KICKOFF
COUNTDOWN TO kiCkoFF
At A GlAnce
By the numBers
Wright
Patterson
Baylor is 3-1 on the year. Its
lone defeat was an embarrassing
performance against TCU Sept. 18
which they lost 45-10. Besides that
game, they have won decisively.
Kansas will be looking to start Big
12 play with a win but unfor-
tunately its schedule pits them
against a Big 12 South team that
isnt looking to waste any opportu-
nities in weeks they arent playing
the tough Big 12 South teams. The
Bears should be able to handle an
inconsistent Jayhawk team, but in
a somewhat close game.
The Kansas football team travels
to Waco, Texas to open Big 12 play
against the Baylor Bears. It will
be the second of four true road
matchups this season for the Jay-
hawks, who lost to Southern Miss
31-16 in their last away game on
Sept. 17. The Baylor ofense is led
by sophomore Robert Grifn III, ar-
guably the best quarterback in the
Big 12, and he should test a Kansas
pass defense which has been very
impressive so far this season.
How will Baylor quarterback
Robert Grifn III do against
a Kansas secondary that has
been surprisingly efcient
against the pass?
The Jayhawk secondary has
only given up an average of 128.5
pass yards per game against
opposing quarterbacks. Grifn
has averaged 242.75 pass yards
per game so far this year, over
100 more yards than what the
Jayhawk defense has given up.
Grifn will be the most talented
quarterback Kansas has faced
this year and will be looking to
have a big game in the Big 12
opener.
How will the ofense commu-
nicate on the road?
On their last road trip to Hat-
tiesburg, Miss., the ofense looked
dysfunctional and unable to get
a play called on the most critical
downs in the game. Last Saturday
against New Mexico State, the
Jayhawks were able to conserve
their timeouts and open up the
ofensive play book. This Satur-
day will be a true test to how this
Kansas team will perform in hostile
environments, both on ofense
and defense.
1
In their three wins this season
(vs. Sam Houston State, Bufalo,
at Rice), the Baylor defense has
allowed only one touchdown.
58-10
Final score the last time these
two teams played (Oct. 13, 2007).
BaYLOR
3-1 (0-0 Big 12)
OFFENSE
The Bears are led by redshirt sophomore
quarterback Robert Grifn III. Grifn re-
ceived numerous awards after his freshman
campaign, which included starting every
game but the frst for Baylor. He was named
frst-team freshman All-American and Big
12 Freshman of the Year by Sporting News
and Rivals.com. He sufered a season-
ending injury in the Bears third game last year and is looking
to establish himself among the Big 12 elite again this year. He
has already thrown for 971 yards and eight touchdowns, mak-
ing Baylor 36th overall in pass yards per game this season.
Grifn, also quick on his feet, has three rushing touchdowns.
DEFENSE
The Baylor defense has dominated three
of the four games theyve had this year.
Theyve allowed only 16.8 points to op-
ponents, which ranks 30th in FBS. Senior
defensive tackle Phil Taylor, one of fve
returning defensive starters, was chosen
to the All-Big 12 second team by Sports
Illustrated and is ranked as the 10th best
defensive tackle prospect in college football.
SPECIAL TEAMS
Freshman place kicker Aaron Jones had a busy week last
Saturday in Baylors 30-13 win against Rice. He made three of
four feld goals attempted and kicked three extra points. On
the season, hes made eight of ten feld goals, including two
48 yard feld goals. Senior punter Derek Epperson is averag-
ing 44.8 yards per punt this season. He is rated the nations
second best punter by Phil Steele and has been twice been
an All-Big 12 selection and once an honorable mention All-
America punter.
COACHING
The Bears are led by third year coach Art
Briles. Briles came to Baylor in 2007 after
being the head coach at the University of
Houston from 2003-07. Although his record
at Baylor is only 8-16, he is generally per-
ceived to have laid a solid foundation at the
school which will lead to future success.
MOMENTUM
Baylor started the season of winning its frst two games
against Sam Houston State and Bufalo by a combined score
of 68-9. They were beat by 35 points against a talented Texas
Christian University team but bounced back with a 17 point
victory last week against Rice. Baylor will be playing a tough
schedule that includes every other Big 12 South team and will
surely be looking to capitalize on opportunities against the
weaker Big 12 North teams.
Max Vosburgh
kansas
2-2 (0-0 Big 12)
OFFENSE
With sophomore quarterback Kale Pick
out due to a broken left fbula, the backup
role falls into the hands of junior Quinn
Mecham. Coach Turner Gill expressed has
his concern that Mecham has not received
a signifcant enough amount of reps during
practice, but he said the third-stringer should
be ready if called upon this Saturday. The
performance of the ofensive line will be critical against Baylor.
Webb was not sacked against the Aggies last Saturday, but New
Mexico State ranks last in the nation with no sacks.
DEFENSE
The Kansas pass defense ranks sixth in the
nation and has held opponents to less than
60 percent completed passes this season.
However, the lack of a pass rush continues to
be the glaring hole in the defensive unit. Se-
nior defensive end Jake Laptad has been al-
most invisible this season and the Jayhawks
were unable to get a single sack against
New Mexico State. If the Jayhawks are to make noise during Big
12 play this season, it will be because their more experience
defense contained the new look, run-frst Big 12.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The kickof coverage squad allowed four returns of 40 or
more yards Saturday against the Aggies, putting their defense in
a tough spot over and over again.
COACHING
Defensive coordinator Carl Torbush is
concerned about containing Grifn, but said
the team would be foolish to focus all its
attention on the sophomore quarterback.
Schematically, you need to understand if
you make a miss on Grifn, instead of being
a 10-yard gain it is going to be a touchdown
or a long play,Torbush said. You can not just
sit there and worry about him. If you put three or four guys on
him they have wide receivers that can take it to the house in one
on one situations.
MOMENTUM
Both teams are coming of big wins against lesser opponents,
but Kansas may have the momentum because they have grown
more than the Bears since the frst week of the season. All you
can ask from a frst year coach is progress throughout a season,
and Gill delivered that last week. Regression would kill any mo-
mentum and good will the Jayhawks have built up in their two
home wins this season.

BIG JAY WILL CHEER IF
The Jayhawks get their frst road win and upset the favored Bears
in Waco. Anything short of a win would be a disappointment for a
team that looked to be clicking on all cylinders last week. Beshears
needs at least 10 total touches, and if Kansas controls the ball as
well as they already have under Webb, they could pull one out in
their only visit to the Lone Star State.
BABY JAY WILL WEEP IF
Last weeks stomping of New Mexico State was a mirage. If the
Jayhawks lose and begin Big 12 play 0-1, the fan base could lose
interest very quickly. After all, many Jayhawk fans already have
an internal clock counting down to basketball season. The worst
possible scenario would be if fans stop caring when the Jayhawks
lose. In sports, apathy is worse than frustration.
Prediction:
Baylor 24, Kansas 10
BY SARAH KRUGER
skruger@kansan.com
With one player out, another
with a leg brace and much switch-
ing of starting positions, the
Jayhawks have seen it all. However,
the team united to defeat Missouri
3-1 after the challenging past few
weeks.
Sophomore defensive specialist
Brianne Riley sat out Wednesdays
game because she wasnt physically
able to play, said coach Bechard, but
if all goes well
she should be
back in time for
the Jayhawks
u p c o m i n g
game against
the Texas Tech
Red Raiders
Saturday.
When a
player gets hurt
its always a little shake up for the
team but she is very supportive and
shell be back, senior outside hitter
Karina Garlington said of Riley.
Freshman defensive specialist
Jamie Mathieu, who usually plays
alongside Riley, picked up the slack
and helped the team with six digs
in the first set and four in the sec-
ond. Standing at five feet, Mathieu
was not afraid of the challenge that
comes with playing a full game of
volleyball.
Ga r l i n g t o n
d e s c r i b e d
Mathieu as a
firecracker with
such a game
face, adding,
She never lets
anybody push
her around.
The team has
to work fluidly
no matter who is
placed on the court, as shown by
the change in starting setters and
hitters in the last few games. The
Jayhawks did what they had to do
and pushed forward, not letting
the missing teammate discourage
them. The team stuck together and
pulled out a win.
Freshman setter Kara Wehrs and
junior setter Nicole Tate have been
interchanged throughout the sea-
son, and while this could throw
off the flow in other teams, the
Jayhawks have responded with
confidence.
Garlington and freshman middle
blocker Caroline Jarmoc worked
together in the front row, attacking
anything that came over the net.
Easy floaters and free balls over the
net met a furious response from
the duo, who not only returned
them immediately, but attacked
them without being set up for mul-
tiple kills.
We needed to get our game on.
We knew what we needed to do
and we came out here and did it,
Garlington said, I wanted to get
a win for my team and my team
wanted to get a win for Kansas vol-
leyball, so we got it done.
Senior outside hitter Jenna
Kaiser was seen more than usual
in the game against Missouri as
well. The brace on her leg, which
is said to be for stability on her
hitters leg, didnt seem to bother
her. She had six kills in the first set,
followed with two in the second,
and totalling 16 in all four with no
errors.
We saw her in warm-up. You
could tell after a few swings she
had a great rhythm tonight, coach
Bechard said.
An enthusiastic crowd increased
team morale, leading to an over-
whelmingly positive atmosphere
in the Horejsi
F a m i l y
A t h l e t i c s
C e n t e r .
Ga r l i ng t on
was louder
than usual
in her play-
ing, with ten
attacks and
three kills in
the first set,
followed by 10
kills in the second, and totaling 22
in all four sets.
Starting off the third set 1-1 the
score went back and forth, with
scores tied at 4, 7, 11, 12 and 16 all.
Mathieu had her share of intensity
in this game, serving with the score
tied 22-22 in the end of the third
set. After attacks from Jarmoc and
Kaiser, and few missed serves from
the Tigers, the momentum started
changing in the Jayhawks favor,
23-24. With sophomore Morgan
Boub serving, the score was tied
once again at 24 all. A missed serve
by Boub and a missed block led
the Jayhawks into set four with two
sets to one. Garlington said the
loss in the third was inspired the
team to step up their playing in the
fourth set.
Mathieu continued her stable
play in the fourth set, staying low
and digging with confidence, said
Garlington. She added, She was
pumped when she found out she
was going to be libero, and she
came out and handled it to the end
and played really hard.
After a kill that added to her total
of 14 kills, junior outside hitter
Allison Mayfield served, taking the
fourth sets score to 9-7 with help
from Garlington. With the score
at 19-17, Missouri began creep-
ing toward the Jayhawks, with no
luck. At 21-18, Garlington helped
the beginning of the pull-away by
the Jayhawks. Mathieus digs were
furious, totaling eight in the fourth
set alone, bringing her game total
to 23. The Jayhawks overall offen-
sive play was staggering, outdig-
ging Missouri by 12 balls, with a
sideout percentage of 66, described
by coach Bechard as exceptional. A
combined save by Garlington and
Tate led to freshman outside hitter
Amy Wehrs serving with a score of
24-21, and ace to win the match.
The team worked through the
hodgepodge of players with a few
errors, but overall working hard to
show teamwork and unity. While
the Tigers were sent back to their
den, the Red Raiders are not being
overlooked.
Losing a disappointing Game
3, we came back in Game 4. After
a letdown we bounced right back
and played extremely well, coach
Bechard said.

The Yankees remained a half-

Alex Rodriguez homered for
the Yankees, giving him 13 straight

Seattle hit a record 264 in 1997.
Hill drove in four runs as the Blue
Jays won for the sixth time in seven

a playoff spot, saw Javier Vazquez
(10-10) get tagged for seven runs
and 10 hits in 4 2-3 innings.
Gaston guided the Blue Jays to

N
ow that my on-ice hockey career
is over, there are only two hockey-
related dates that really mean
anything to me.
The first is the start of the NHL season.
The second is the annual release of the EA
Sports NHL series.
EAs NHL franchise has never disap-
pointed and the latest edition NHL
11 is, I dare say, the best sports game
ever made.
Fans of Madden, relax; I still love
running the flea flicker with Philly and
Michael Vick. But that doesnt come close
to the non-stop action rush I get from
breaking the puck out of my zone with the
Blackhawks Duncan Keith.
The adjustments made for NHL 11
make it more realistic than any other
sports/hockey game out there. Never mind
the graphics, those are a given. (You can
clearly see the players reflections in the
ice!) What made the difference for me
were the new passing, deke and hitting
features.
EA switched to a more FIFA-like pass-
ing style in this game. The longer you
hold down the pass button, the more force
there will be behind your pass when you
let go. Also, aiming your passes are a
must. Dont be surprised if passing to the
wrong player which can happen very
easily destroys an arrant breakaway
pass.
The new dekes make this game more
advanced than any previous one. In edi-
tions past, if a defensive player was to dive
on the ice, you had no way to get away still
with the puck. Now players on offense can
counteract this scheme by hurdling the
defenseman and safely continuing a drive
to the net.
Hitting has been revolutionized as well,
starting with the addition of the hip check.
Players can now be table-topped, send-
ing them spiraling into the air. Ive been
playing the game a couple of weeks now,
and every time you see this hit, all you
can do is just say, Wow. Along with the
hip check, the game is set up so that no
two hits are alike. Players react differently
to each hit, giving the game a much more
intense feel.
This game is one that fans of sports
should own, regardless if they have any
knowledge of hockey at all or not.

LOS ANGELES ESPN
sports personality Jay Mariotti
pleaded no contest Thursday
to one count of misdemeanor
domestic violence in con-
nection with an incident in
August in which police said
he grabbed and pushed his
girlfriend.
As part of a deal reached
with the Los Angeles city
attorneys office, Los Angeles
County Court Commissioner
John Green agreed to dismiss
the remaining six misdemean-
or counts against Mariotti
that included four domestic-
violence related counts, grand
theft and false imprisonment.
Jay is very pleased to have
this matter behind him and is
anxious to get back to work,
said Mariottis attorney, Nick
Hanna. While we are confi-
dent he would have prevailed
at trial, the process would
have been long and expen-
sive. Todays resolution a
no-contest plea to a low-level
misdemeanor with all of the
other charges dismissed
ends the matter once and for
all.
Mariotti avoids jail time
and was instead placed on
three years probation and
required to perform 40 days of
community labor, said Frank
Mateljian, a spokesman for
the Los Angeles city attorneys
office. He must also complete
a 52-week domestic-violence
course and stay away from the
victim in the case.
Hanna called the sentence
standard for such a misde-
meanor.
In addition to ESPN,
Mariotti also writes for the
sports website Fanhouse.
com, where he is known for
criticizing athletes for their
actions on and off the field. In
the past, he wrote sports col-
umns for the Denver Post and
the Chicago Sun-Times. A
nationally known sports per-
sonality, Mariotti has gained
a reputation for his unsparing
commentary of athletes on
ESPNs Around the Horn.

The soccer team is looking to
rebound after a disappointing
opening to its conference
schedule.
Last weekend, the Kansas
(4-6 overall, 0-2 Big 12) lost to
Missouri (3-4-2 overall, 1-0 Big
12) and Iowa State (6-3-2 overall,
1-0 Big 12).
Coach Mark Francis was not
pleased with his teams play.
Last week, practice was really
bad, consequently we didnt play
well on the weekend, Francis
said.
Francis thought the team com-
peted pretty well
in both games,
but thought the
overall compo-
sure was poor.
He said he
was pleased with
the teams ses-
sion on Tuesday
and thinks that if
the team comes
ready to play like
it did in prac-
tice, it should
be a successful
upcoming weekend.
Everyone needs to show up
for every game, and we havent
been doing that, sophomore mid-
fielder Whitney Berry said.
We need to be a little more
consistent in front of the goal
and be a little more dangerous,
Francis said.
Kansas opens up a four-game
homestand when the Jayhawks
play No. 10 Texas A&M (8-3 over-
all, 1-1 Big 12) on Friday and
Texas (6-2-2 overall, 0-1-1), who
also received votes in the NSCAA
poll, on Sunday.
Texas A&M started out a tough
schedule with losses to then-
ranked No. 1 North Carolina 3-0
on Aug. 20 in College Station,
Texas, and then-ranked No. 3
Portland 1-0 in Portland, Ore.
The Aggies are led by senior
midfielder Alyssa Mautz, who
has eight goals this season. Mautz
is a member of
the Under-23
Womens National
Team.
The Longhorns
will come to
Lawrence on
Sunday looking
to win their first
conference game
of the season.
Texas is led by
freshman forward
Leah Fortune
and sophomore goalkeeper Alexa
Gaul.
Fortune leads the team with
four goals and three assists and
Gaul has been the only keeper in
net for the Longhorns this sea-
son, who has posted a 0.96 goals
against average with 36 saves.
Fortune was a member of
Brazils Under-20 Womens FIFA
World Cup squad and partici-
pated in the Brazilian Womens
National Team training camp in
preparation for the 2011 World
Cup. Gaul is a member of the
United States Under-23 Womens
National Team that won the Four
Nations Tournament in July. She
was the starting keeper in all three
matches and posted two shutouts.
The offensive attacks for both
Texas teams will pose a difficult
threat to the Jayhawk defense this
weekend.
Francis has been pleased
with defenders senior Geneva
Magness and sophomore Shelby
Williamsons play. He says they
have been consistent all year.
Game in, game out, you pretty
much know what you are going to
get from those guys, Francis said.
Magness has been focused on
the team goal of winning.
She thinks consistency will
come by practicing well.
We need to stay positive and it
will spread throughout our team,
Magness said.

If the Kansas football team is to
win its first game on the road this
Saturday, it will have to come in a
state more than a third of its play-
ers call home.
The Jayhawks (2-2) will make
their first and only trip to the
Lone Star State when they travel
to take on the Baylor Bears in
Waco, Texas at 11 a.m. Saturday
at Floyd Casey Stadium. There
are 38 players from Texas on the
Jayhawk roster, including junior
wide receiver Daymond Patterson,
who hails from Mesquite.
Its about an hour and a half
drive from where a lot of us are
from, Patterson said. A lot of
families are going to be coming
for a lot of players.
Patterson, the Jayhawks lead-
ing receiver on the season with 22
receptions for 206 yards, will see
two very familiar faces across the
playing field on Saturday. Baylor
wide receivers Lanear Sampson
and Krys Buercke both played
with Patterson
through high
school and
have known
him since their
Pop Warner
days.
It is the
Jayhawks first
matchup with
the Bears since
Oct. 13, 2007, which was a 58-10
Kansas victory in Lawrence. While
the teams play in the same confer-
ence, they have only played each
other nine times. Baylor leads the
all-time series 5-4.
Weve been talking about this
game since we both committed
and signed, Patterson said. Were
just ready. Its been three long
years and were just ready to get
our first game against each other.
Baylor (3-1) is led by sopho-
more quarterback Robert Griffin
III, a speedy player still trying to
get his legs back after a serious
knee injury last year. Containing
the versatile quarterback will be
a key to victory in the Jayhawks
first conference game of the sea-
son, said coach Turner Gill.
Theyre going to try and get
him in a situation where he is
one-on-one with somebody, and
Id say that more times than not,
hes going to win that battle one-
on-one, Gill said. We have to
try and prevent him from having
that opportunity. We have to have
at least, two, three or four guys
around the ball and make tackles.
When we have an opportunity to
make that tackle, we need to make
that tackle.
The Kansas pass defense is
ranked sixth in the country, an
impressive feat considering the
amount of time opposing quar-
terbacks have had in the pocket.
The Jayhawk defense has recorded
only three sacks this season
none from their front four and
rank 114th in the nation in that
statistic.
When I saw that I was over-
whelmed but every time we
always want to strive to be No. 1,
said sophomore safety Lubbock
Smith. This week we are going to
look out and try to excel and build
every day.
Protecting freshman quarter-
back Jordan Webb will be a high
priority for the offensive line with
backup sophomore quarterback
Kale Pick sidelined with a leg inju-
ry. The coaching staff feels new
backup quarterback junior Quinn
Mecham can manage the game if
called upon.
I dont think hes going to be
at the same level as Jordan Webb,
but if the game provides him an
opportunity to play, then I think
hes going to be able to do some
things, Gill said. I think hes
similar to Jordan Webb in that he
throws the ball very low. He prob-
ably doesnt have as strong of an
arm as Jordan Webb, but he hasnt
taken as many reps, so hes not
going to be quite as sharp.

C
ross another name of the list.
For a little while it looked
like Kansas had a legitimate
shot at a John Calipari-good recruit-
ing class. (Im not saying I like the
guy, but his recruiting classes are
insane.)
But then the big-name recruits
started choosing other schools. Brad-
ley Beal, a St. Louis native and the
No. 8 prospect in the country, started
it of 10 months ago when he picked
Florida over the Jayhawks.
Ten, in the last couple weeks, two
more top-10 recruits have turned
their backs on the Jayhawks. No. 1
overall recruit Austin Rivers was al-
ways a Duke lean, but hed been very
complimentary of Kansas, especially
recently. On Sept. 18, Bill Self visited
Rivers in his Winter Park home and
Rivers told Rivals.com that they
had a great time. He assured Rivals.
coms Shay Wildeboor that he would
be visiting Kansas before he made
a decision. He set the visit date for
homecoming weekend, Oct. 22.
Ten he committed to Duke
Tursday morning.
Point guard Josiah Turner, the
No. 10 player in the class, was always
supposed to be a Kansas lean. He
was supposed to be the guy that
stepped in afer Josh Selby (assum-
ing Selby does what every other No.
1 overall recruit has done and goes
pro as soon as possible). He wont be.
Turner committed to Arizona a little
more than a week ago.
Tis isnt to say Kansas is cooked
in the recruiting market this year.
Te Jayhawks, quite to the contrary,
should be expected to pull of a
top-20 class, like they do seemingly
every year. Bill Self is notorious for
snagging late commitments from
quality players (Selby, Xavier Henry,
etc.) and Id be surprised if he didnt
again this year.
Teres also plenty of talent lef on
the board. Sure, it would have been
nice for the Jayhawks to bring Rivers
or Turner to Lawrence, but theyre
getting serious looks from a lot of the
top talent still around.
LeBryan Nash, a small forward
ranked No. 4 nationally, put Kansas
in his fnal three recently.
Quinn Cook, a point guard ranked
No. 28, is late to the party the
Jayhawks only jumped on his recruit-
ment when Turner chose the Arizona
variety of Wildcat but is report-
edly listening very hard to Self s sales
pitch.
Wildeboor said assistant coach
Kurtis Townsend visited Cook last
week and was there either yesterday
or would be again soon.
Naadir Tarpe, the 91st-rated
recruit in the country, can expect a
visit from Self as soon as Monday,
Wildeboor said. Tarpe plays his
high school ball at Wolfeboro in New
Hampshire, the same school sopho-
more Tomas Robinson graduated
from.
Remember the class of 2008?
Tere wasnt a single fve-star recruit
in the group. Now theres a legitimate
candidate for the Naismith Award
(Marcus Morris) and two other
potential frst round draf picks
(Markief Morris and Tyshawn Tay-
lor). Mario Little and Travis Releford
will see serious playing time this year
and could see their stock rise high
enough to get drafed as well.
Tats a heck of a worst case
scenario.
