Two native Kansans and Hollywood names will be on campus this week. Dan Glickman, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, Inc., and Alex Graves, executive producer of The West Wing, will speak at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics for the Hollywood and Politics lecture series today and Thursday. Glickman will focus on how politics and Hollywood intertwine. As a former politician and current lobbyist for the film industry, Glickman has had experience with both spheres, said Bill Lacy, director of the Dole Institute. He is in the perfect position to talk about Hollywood and politics, Lacy said. Gayle Osterberg, spokesperson for MPAA, said Glickman would also address the movie industrys biggest challenge: piracy. Osterberg said movie piracy has been a growing problem on campuses and for the industry, which loses more than $5 billion a year. The University of Kansas will be Glickmans third stop on a tour of campuses nationwide, Osterberg said. Glickman, from Wichita, spent nine terms serving in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Kansas 4th District. He was the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture from 1995 to 2001. Glickman

is the director of the Institute of Politics at Harvard University. Glickman became president and CEO of the MPAA in September of 2004. Graves, an El Dorado native and a former KU student who graduated from the University of South California, will focus on filmmaking and script writing. He will show scenes from The West Wing to illustrate his lecture, Lacy said. Graves is an executive producer, director and writer of the Emmy Award-winning show. He is a triple-threat individual who has proved himself over the past five or six years, said Chuck Berg, professor of theatre and film. Berg said Graves would show how the program connected to the contemporary political scene and where the ideas for shows came from.

An ordinance outlawing the possession of marijuana in Lawrence appeared in front of the city commission for a vote Tuesday, only to be pushed back to be considered again on Nov. 29. The ordinance, which started on Sept. 6 when the commission directed city staff to draft it, would have moved jurisdiction of possession of marijuana and paraphernalia from district court to municipal court for first-time offenders. The ordinance was pushed back because commissioners couldnt agree on a minimum fine. Commissioners Sue Hack and Mike Amyx insisted on a $300 minimum, while Mayor Dennis Boog Highberger and commissioner Mike Rundle wanted something smaller in the range of zero to $100. Highberger and Rundle reminded Amyx and Hack that the Kansas Uniform Controlled Sub-
stances Act had no minimum fine, but they were not swayed. Commissioner David Schauner proposed a compromise and suggested the ordinance have a minimum fine of $300, but a possible decrease of that fine at the judges discretion if mitigating factors existed. Schauner could not say what those factors would be. I have a goal of making sure the public understands that we arent trying to decriminalize, but I want to give judges the ability to deal with each defendant in regard to particular circumstances, Schauner said. Rundle and Schauner voted in favor of the amended ordinance, while Highberger, Hack and Amyx voted against it. Immediately after that vote, Highberger proposed a vote on the ordinance as it stood, without a minimum fine. The ordinance was again voted down 2-3, with only Rundle and Highberger voting for it.

Jill Kuhnheim found openings in the 400-level Spanish classes. She cant remember the last time that happened. During the past two years, the department of Spanish and Portuguese has hired six new professors who teach more classes than the professors they replaced, said Kuhnheim, professor and chairwoman of the department. Now, more sections of classes are offered, and students in the growing department can get into the classes they need. Three former professors in the department were on phase retirement, which meant that they received a full salary but were not required to teach as many classes. Another former professor was a joint professor with the Humanities and Western Civilization de-

partment, which cut down on the number of classes he could teach. The department could not hire new professors because it did not have the money, but the five-year Tuition Enhancement Plan has given the funds for the new positions. The department has about 274 Spanish majors. This number has grown by more than 500 percent since 1997, when the department had 50 Spanish majors. In previous semesters, students came to Kuhnheim during the enrollment period in tears, worried that they would not be able to
graduate because they could not get into a particular class. Rachel Cloud, Lawrence senior, said that enrolling in Spanish classes had been hard throughout her four years as a Spanish major. Im excited for the younger students, she said. Cloud said that several times she had to go to a class in which she wasnt yet enrolled in hopes that someone would drop the class. I had to take whatever was open until the second half of my junior year, she said. I didnt have much selection.
Another benefit is smaller classes. Before the new professors were hired, classes intended for 18 to 20 students would have 35, Kuhnheim said. The smaller a class is, the more each student benefits, said Patricia Tom, Portevedra, Spain, graduate teaching assistant. With smaller classes, she has more one-on-one interaction with students. They form a bond between them that you dont see in a bigger class, she said. Edited by Becca Evanhoe

By aly Barland said he had not yet heard about the new program but said he would be interested in it. It would encourage saving because most people dont think fifty cents is a lot of money, but I think it would add up over a year or two, Rickard said. Another benefit of the Keep the Change program is that it would allow students to balance their accounts easier because the program rounds up to the nearest whole dollar, Thorne said. For the first three months of participation in the program, Bank of America will match the savings deposited through purchases. After the three months, Bank of America will continue to match 5 percent of the savings each year. The Keep the Change program only allows savings of up to $250 a year. Dennis Rosen, business professor, teaches a marketing class and said that the program may alleviate guilt that customers feel when they make purchases. The interesing thing here

Bank of America is introducing a new program that can help students save whenever they spend. Bank of Americas program, Keep the Change, allows customers who use Bank of America Visa debit cards to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The extra money is automatically deposited into the customers savings account from the checking account. The program will help students because it will force them to save money every time they use their debit cards, said Grant Thorne, manager of Lawrences Bank of America, 900 Ohio St. Thorne said the program was not intended to encourage dependence on credit or debit cards but was created to help increase savings. David Rickard, Memphis, Tenn., junior, has been banking with Bank of America for five years. He

What is a typical day like for you? I answer a lot of e-mail because Im teaching 101, but it starts off with me running out the door, spilling coffee, kissing my kids goodbye. Then theres the whole flurry of teaching, researching. It sounds like Im dodging the answer, but theres not a typical day. Why did you decide to teach journalism? I love storytelling. That happens too much in lecture. I love telling stories. Im fascinated Marsh with the English language; its the greatest thing since Greek. What better than journalism? Well, maybe a novelist, but I dont have any talent in that area. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Professional quarterback. They never gave me a chance! Lack of talent had a lot to do with it, but I still think if they just suit me up, I could still go in a game. In fact, though, I have no athletic ability. I just wanted to be an NFL quarterback. What classes do you teach? Journalism 101 Media and Society, 435 Message Development, and 608 Ethics, those are the three most common. I teach more strategic communications, but Im one of those lucky ones that gets to crossover. Ethics is a crossover course. What is your favorite class to teach? I dont have a favorite. Whichever one Im in at the moment. I really dont. Where did you attend college? KU, three degrees. I have a BA, MA, and Ph.D. I spent 11 years as a student.
is theyre tying savings in with spending, Rosen said. The program was an example of Bank of America trying to distinguish itself from other banks, Rosen said. He said it would be important for users of the program to continue to buy things that they need and not to spend frivolously in an attempt to save more with the program. One student does not have extra money to deposit and would rather not deposit it in a savings account. Kristen Perdue, Prairie Village junior, is a Bank of America customer but she said she tried to use the debit card sparingly and would not be drawn by the new program. I dont have a lot of extra money, Perdue said. Thorne said that Keep the Change started on Oct. 17 and that he had seen a strong interest in the option so far. Most of the accounts that are being opened are getting that, Thorne said.
He said that accounts already in existence are adding the option to their account. All customers have to do is notify the bank that they want to participate in the program, and their purchases with the debit card will automatically round up. The program automatically moves the change from the checking account into the savings account, so users must keep a close eye on the balance in their checking accounts. To prevent penalties from overdrawing, Bank of America customers can use the overdraft protection policy, which uses funds from the savings account to cover the checking account if it is overdrawn. Matt Pallen, personal banker at Bank of America, said the bank does benefit from the new program. Were benefiting because we are maintaining existing savings accounts and attracting new customers, Pallen said. Edited by Kellis Robinett

6a Other RAs mentioned experiences such as being duct-taped into a room or being asked by residents to keep goldfish in the hall toilets. The worst Horner said she has had to deal with was moving furniture out of elevators that students had put in them or the occasional false fire alarm. Kristin Barnett, Evergreen, Colo., freshman and a resident on Horners floor, said that over Halloween weekend someone set off the fire alarm at 4 a.m., and the whole building had to clear out for an hour while everything was checked and secured. Katie was on duty at the time, and she had the job of checking everything and finding out who did it, Barnett said. But she didnt pressure people to find out who did it; instead she gave them a safe place to go to talk about it. Besides dealing with the occasional joke, fire alarm or party bust, Horner is responsible for mediating any possible disputes between roommates on her floor. All the resident assistants on campus spent a week before school started this semester training to handle possible disputes among residents, so they would be ready to handle them when they happened during the
school year. Horner is also in charge of organizing three programs per semester: one social, such as an outing to a game or restaurant; and two educational, such as a bulletin board or lessons. She recently hosted salsa-dancing lessons for the residents. Horner said the job immediately put her in a position to be more responsible, not just for the residents on her floor but also for herself. Being an RA has made me both stronger and wiser. You really have to be sure of yourself in handling different things, Horner said. Ive definitely become more educated on problems and how to handle them. Her job does not go unnoticed. Her residents recognize her responsibilities and dedication. I admire Katie for being willing to take a job that would put her in a position where she might not be well-liked because she has to watch over people, Barnett said. Besides the responsibilities and time commitment, Horner said that she enjoyed her job and that she enjoyed her floor. She said she didnt seem to mind the occasional middle-of-the-night wake up or interruptions to her morning routine. Its all routine in the life of an RA. Edited by Alison Peterson

1a Its also inspiring for students to see a former student that is successful, Berg said. I think students at KU should be very encouraged in knowing that someone who sat in classrooms in Budig Hall is now directing major dramatic television, Berg said. In May the Dole Institute hosted Eli Attie, producer Glickman of The West Wing. After Atties visit, Graves decided he would be interested in returning to the University and presenting for the Dole Institute as well, said Jonathan Earle, associate director of the Dole Institute. The two men have different backgrounds. Attie was a speechwriter, not a filmmaker like Graves. Were going to get a totally different attitude and show, Earle said. Edited by Kellis Robinett

1a All five commissioners wanted to know the exact definition of mitigating factors before they could vote again, so they sent city staff to find it. Amyx disagreed with Schauner because he didnt want to put a judge in a situation to pick and choose who was going to be subject to a lesser fine. Schauner said making decisions was what judges did. Laura Green, director of the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas,
said she had expected the ordinance to pass but was pleased that the commission thoughtfully considered it. Green said she would have been glad to see the ordinance pass even with a minimum fine because her concern was to reduce the amount of harm on students. Students convicted in municipal court instead of district court wouldnt lose financial aid. Leslie Eldridge, community affairs director of the Student Senate, said the Student Senate supported the ordinance because it would
keep more students in school. We believe the ordinance is a student-rights issue, Eldridge said. We recognize that many students depend on federal financial aid to finance their educations. We also know that some students will unfortunately have to leave school if they lose financial aid. Green thought Schauners compromise was reasonable even though she did not agree with imposing a minimum fine. Mandatory minimum sentences do not allow a judge to use his or her discretion for deciding an appropriate
penalty, she said. Ordinances contain minimum fines only when offenders harm other people, property or the environment, Green said. Smoking marijuana doesnt fall under any of those three categories, she said. Personally, I think $300 is outrageous, Green said. A DUI is $500. Thats pretty cheap considering that a drunk driver could kill someone. It should be $5,000. Schauner, Hack and Amyx all said they sought the publics comment on the issue and didnt want
to proceed without a minimum fine based on that comment. Rosemary Hill was one Lawrence citizen who was outraged about the ordinances possible passage. Over the weekend she sent a letter, which strongly opposed the ordinance, to the commission. She said she couldnt believe Schauner said on Oct. 25 that a minimum fine could become a financial burden for the defendant. She said her biggest problem with the ordinance was that students convicted of violating it for the first time would still receive fi-
nancial aid. I dont want my tax dollars going toward someone breaking the law, she said. This is not a slap-on-thewrist thing. Its a drug. I have two grandsons at a vulnerable age, and theyve been taught that drug use is wrong. City staff will provide their findings to the commission at the Nov. 29 meeting, when the commission will vote on the ordinance again. Edited by Alison Peterson

Breaking up is easy to do
I live life by three simple rules. Never wear ip-ops to a urinal, never eat meat out of a vending machine and never lose a friend to a dominated relationship. Not every relationship is like this, but weve all gone through one. A buddy nds a new signicant other who changes everything about him and erases all his friends. Meanwhile, a squadron of pals is left hanging and the friend is nowhere to be found. The Super Bowl is on, and hes shoveling the snow off her sidewalk. It is time to break the ritual of boy meets girl, boy likes girl, girl makes boy watch The Notebook. The guy who walked himself into this trap is defenseless against the witch-like powers of the cunning female. His only chance at redemption is through you, the best friends. If you let him spiral downward much longer, he will be a lost cause. All hope is not gone. There is a way to get him back, and this is how. First you have to locate where he is. When doing this you need to remember a few things. Then, he will never be honest and tell you exactly where he is. He doesnt want his pride hurt. There are a few likely places to nd your friend. Those places are a Ryan Cabrera concert or pottery class. The most likely spot, however is at a mall, carrying all her bags. The reason a mall is a likely place to nd the couple is that not only can they buy clothes, but they can take family portraits for the holiday card they plan on sending to friends and family. You probably wont get a card, though.
ERIC JORGENSEN

The second thing you need to remember is that he wont look the same. He will likely be wearing a giant knitted sweater. Depending on the season, the sweater may vary in design. Look for cornucopias or reindeer on the sweater for the upcoming holiday season. Supplementing his disastrous wardrobe, his hair will be parted, and he will be clean shaven. Theres a chance he may be toting a tiny, Paris Hilton-esque dog in a little pink handbag. After nding him, here is what needs to be done: You and two other friends have to wait for the time she nally lets him go the bathroom. She will probably ask him to wait with the bags until she goes rst. While hes waiting, one friend approaches him and tells him there is an emergency. He will be surprised and disappointed you found him in his new habitat. You need a good lie to get him to leave his girlfriend in the bathroom. Tell him his favorite super model is signing underwear in Victorias Secret. If that does not work, head-butt him and drag him away as quick as possible. While the boyfriend is distracted or unconscious, the other two friends will enter the womens bathroom. One will carry a camera; the other will be wearing a trench-coat and nothing else. The friend with the coat on should now take it off. Make
sure both friends have ski-masks so she cant identify you. Kick the door to her stall open. She will then have a look of surprise on her face. That look should resemble an O-face. As the naked man jumps close to her face, the friend with the camera should snap as many pictures as possible. The pictures will resemble moments of indelity. Scamper out of the bathroom and into a safer environment. Make sure to bring the boyfriend with you, it will make her even madder. After the pictures are developed, show them to the boyfriend. Tell him how sorry you are, but it is obvious shes not interested in him. Throw in a She wasnt good for you and a She hates kittens. Meanwhile, send duplicates to her and threaten to send them to her family and post them on the Internet. Between his anguish and her future being ruined, there is no way they will stay together. All this may seem a little hasty, unethical or just plain wrong. But whos to judge you? Machiavelli wrote if the ends justify the means, do it. Are male, full-frontal nudity and a little blackmail worth keeping your friend? Absolutely it is. Dont accept Im spending time with Sarahs family, or Catherine and I are crocheting scarves as answers to your invitations anymore. Get out there and save your friend before he slips into the black hole that is Uber-whipped. Jorgensen is a Baldwin junior in journalism.

I was just told by a 50-year-old Jayhawk fan that I wasnt even a thought in my parents mind when we last beat Nebraska.
Senator John McCain wrote an amendment that would prohibit cruel or degrading treatment of prisoners regardless of nationality or physical location. Vice President Dick Cheney has vehemently tried to convince the senator to omit the preceding condition. We are violating the very policy we tried so hard to acquire in the Geneva Convention after WWII. As Senator John McCain eloquently put it, This isnt about who they are. This is about who we are. These are the values that distinguish us from our enemies. What values do we stand for? We no longer care about the well-being of the country, because it all seems hopeless. Nothing we do will change whats going on in Washington. But we are the hope for the future. By ignoring the news and not caring about whats going on in our nation, we are simply empowering the corrupt politicians who put us in this miserable position in the rst place. The less we know, the less equipped we are to bring our country back to what it stands for. My ancestors challenged the British to ensure that I could grow up in a free country. My two grandfathers fought in WWII in the hopes that I could grow up in a safe country. My parents protested and marched on Washington so Id grow up in a country of equality. I sat around and watched The Daily Show. It is our responsibility to pay attention to the issues now so that when next year, an election year, rolls around, we take advantage of the rights we have and elect people who will truly represent our values and secure our future.

Our offense is awesome, our special teams are insane, and our defense is not human. Texas better watch out.

I would like to compliment Dustin Elliott, a biochemistry major who hails from Overland Park, on being a stunning example of the type of student that will be produced by Kansas schools if science curricula fail to teach the scientific method and instead succumb to the confusion between true science and mythological musings. In his Nov. 7 article, Elliott correctly states that our understanding of evolution is shaped by the formation and testing of hypotheses. He fails, however, to hold
his own intelligent design hypothesis to the same standards, accepting it as a plausible explanation of the origins of life on Earth without requiring it to be evaluated by any of the observational and experimental methods employed by true scientists. Further, he misunderstands basic evolutionary biology. He presents microevolution and macroevolution as competing theories by supporting one and attempting to refute the other. These two realms of evolutionary biology differ in the
time scales at which they investigate evolution, but they go hand-in-hand by linking things like genetic variability and natural selection with processes such as speciation and extinction. Elliott has glossed over the resounding evidence that supports both micro- and macroevolution while he confuses creation stories with good science.

must be ready for her day duty. That means preparing for class while making trips up and down stairs to help residents who have been locked out of their rooms or to handle maintenance issues. Her day duty begins the hour before she goes to classes. After day duty and classes, Horner makes her way back to Oliver where she has desk duty, which involves a few hours of answering phones, sorting mail, organizing documentation slips and directing students and visitors to what they need or where they need to go. Once a week Horner has night rounds. Beginning at 9 p.m., she begins on the top oor of Oliver and slowly makes her way down to the bottom oor, while stopping to talk with residents to make sure everything is secure. She goes out again at 11 p.m., after the buildings quiet hours have begun,
to make sure all doors are locked, re extinguishers are in place, bathrooms are clean and secure and the noise level is at a minimum. She is on night duty from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next day. Horner said that when RAs do not have night rounds, they have a 2 a.m. curfew and must be available to handle anything should problems arise in the middle of the night. Horner has been woken up more than once in the middle of the night to break up a party or deal with intoxicated residents. As much as the residents hate being busted, it is just as hard for us to bust them, Horner said. The RAs arent here just to discipline; we also try to build relationships with the residents. RAs also have to handle the occasional practical joke from residents.

Russell Robinson chuckles when he talks about his roommate Micah Downs first game in Allen Fieldhouse. I know Micahs first shot is going to be an air ball, the sophomore guard laughed. He will be so nervous. Downs, along with his three freshmen counterparts, Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright and Brandon Rush, will make his debut in a Kansas uniform as Kansas opens its exhibition season against Fort Hays State at 7 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse. Despite playing in big games in
high school and the McDonalds All-American game, Downs and the other freshmen know it will be a nerve-racking experience to take the court in the Fieldhouse for the first time. Im already nervous, Downs said Monday before practice. I mean, we played in front of some big crowds in some tournaments and stuff, but I dont think Ive ever played in front of 16,000. Downs isnt the only one who might be shaking in his Adidas tonight. Kansas mens basketball coach Bill Self said Rush was so nervous before Late Night that he was relieved to find out he wasnt starting. We picked starting lineups at Late Night by flipping a coin, and he called it, Self said. When lost he went yeah because he was so nervous.

AP Top 25
Kansas kept its paper-thin postseason hopes alive by defeating Kansas State on Saturday night. That victory, however, will mean little if the Jayhawks dont follow it up with a victory tonight in their game against the Sooners. Junior outside hitter Megan Hill, who has come on strong in the past two weeks after replacing injured junior Jana Correa, said the Jayhawks had to win tonight to make the NCAA tournament. Its not really a question, Hill said. We dont have any more matches that we can take for granted. I still believe that we have a chance. Kansas has five matches left on its schedule. Last years team finished the Big 12 season with a 9-11 record and qualified for the NCAA tournament. Repeating that feat will be difficult this year, considering it has road matches against Texas A&M and Iowa State, as well as home tilts against Texas Tech and Missouri. Kansas (13-11, 5-10 Big 12) should be confident going into the match against Oklahoma. Not only have the Jayhawks ended their eightmatch losing streak, but they are facing a team that is 1-14 in Big 12 play and 6-18 overall. Still, Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said that defeating Oklahoma would take the kind of concentration the Jayhawks displayed in Manhattan. We have to move on from that match and focus on this one, Bechard said. Oklahomas record is a little bit deceiving. The Sooners have struggled this season. They are four games away from
Junior outside hitter Megan Hill spikes the ball between two Kansas State defenders during a game at Horesji Family Athletics Center earlier this season. After their first victory in nine matches, the Jayhawks travel to Norman, Okla., tonight to face the Oklahoma Sooners. the 10th-place team in the loss column, and they have five matches left. Barring an impressive rally to close out the year, Oklahoma will finish last in the Big 12 for the second time in the past three seasons. On top of that, the Sooners have not defeated the Jayhawks since the 2001 season. Kansas has been 14-1 against Oklahoma since Bechard took over the program in 1998. That said, the Sooners pushed the Jayhawks to the limit in their previous meeting in September. At the time, Kansas was 9-1 and undefeated on its home floor, yet Oklahoma led 2-1 before dropping the last two frames and losing the match. Hill, who didnt play in the Jayhawks victorious game against the Sooners in Lawrence, said she thought the match would be tough and the Sooners had the respect of her team. Well definitely see a different team than we saw the last time, Hill said. We have to come out knowing that were going to win the match, no matter what it takes. Bechard said he expected another tough road test. Its always a difficult situation on the road, he said. This match will be no different. Theyve had some problems, but they were tough last time we saw them. Hill said she expected the victory against the Wildcats last weekend to be the one that got the Jayhawks rolling in the right direction. I think it was exactly what we needed to pull our heads out of the water, she said. We know that we can do it. Its not too late. Edited by Becca Evanhoe

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2005: You might revise your thinking about your finances. You also have a greater potential to make more money because of your creativity and imagination. You might take a course in accounting or financial planning, which could open doors for you. Avoid risks that could cause a big problem if they fall through. You are lucky this year; start this new 11-year luck cycle well. If you are single, romance will be exciting, although you will either choose someone very unusual or find that the bond is not stable. If you are attached, add that old spice to your relationship. Indulge your sweetie. PISCES adds to the moment. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH If you approach a wild situation differently, you are likely to get a different response. Break out of the mold and past your normal thinking, and youll finally find agreement and solutions. Slow down as the day gets older. Tonight: You need some downtime. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You are in the limelight, and others seem to respond to your ideas. In fact, someone is finally going to revise his or her thinking so he or she can understand where you are coming from. Now you might be able to move on a project. Tonight: Join friends. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH Others finally adapt, relax and can open their eyes. You will see life much differently as a result, and so will those you deal with. Open up to possibilities. You might need to take a stronger position than usual. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You need to work with others more and bend in their direction. You will find that a different approach will work much better, especially if you are working with a team player. Step back and think before making any strong decisions. Tonight: Rent a movie or relax to music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Others respond to your creative ideas. You can be an enormous source of solutions, humor and perspective. You are quite capable of turning situations around. Use this skill. Touch base with others. Tonight: Get together with a dear friend. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Your ability to get through hassles and still get the job done makes a big difference. Others admire your persistence and ability to adapt. Anything could be possible. Think positively. A change in attitude could affect everything. Tonight: Accept an invitation out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH Your ability to verbalize the same concept in many different ways could make all the difference. Youll get your message across. Be ready to put in extra time in order to make an idea a reality. Tonight: Get into a new project. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You have a way of stating issues that others might not be able to grasp. Learn to be more precise in your communications. Learn to get past power plays, though you dont necessarily have to change your mind. Tonight: Enjoy the evening. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You will find that a new openness on your part allows life to feel renewed. You have a lot going on, but you make headway because of your attitude. Your sixth sense will guide you. Tonight: A lazy night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH If you revise your thinking, you will see life differently. Open up to a new beginning. You might need to employ a more creative touch with your financial patterns. An investment near water might be very good. Tonight: Find your pals. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH You have a way of disarming others that you might not be too conscious of. Perhaps that lack of awareness is why this ability works so well. Rethink a meeting or get-together. Tonight: Gather your bills. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You find that a boss changes his or her attitude. At the same time, you might need to revise your thinking on a project. Go within and think through your attitude. What you do will make a difference. Tonight: Nap and then decide.

Bonnie Henrickson needed to find a point guard capable of playing Big 12 Conference basketball when she came to Kansas. Instead of finding one, she found two. Freshman Ivana Catic and junior Shaquina Mosley played significant minutes at the position during Sundays 90-65 exhibition victory against Pittsburg State. I liked what I saw, said Henrickson, Kansas womens basketball coach, Those two kids handled the majority of the ball-handling responsibilities and had only two turnovers. Catic was the only one of Kansas five freshmen to earn a spot in the starting lineup. She justified Henricksons decision just minutes into the game when she stole the ball and went the length of the court. I was really focused on my game assignments, Catic said. Thats the style we want to play. Henrickson said it was the first time she remembered allowing first-year players to call plays. Theyve earned that opportunity practicing and right now have proven to be pretty good decision makers, Henrickson said. The 90-point total was Kansas biggest in two years. When both players were in the game at the same time, Mosley moved to shooting guard. You can tell right now Ivana is more of a true point guard, Henrickson said. It is nice to have the luxury of being able to play Shaq at both of those positions. Last year, Mosley won the national Junior College/Community College Player of the Year award as a point guard, but had to adjust to playing a second position. After the game, she said she didnt mind playing at the shoot-
Senior linebacker Nick Reid tackles Colorado sophomore Alvin Barnett during the game in Boulder, Colo., this season. Reid and the Jayhawks travel to Austin, Texas, this weekend to take on the No. 2 Longhorns. Reid is seeking redemption for a missed tackle that led to a last minute comeback by Texas during the game last year at Memorial Stadium.

Kansas certainly remembers what happened when it lost to Texas in the final seconds last season. Senior linebacker Nick Reid graphically remembers the 4th and 18, late in the fourth quarter, when he missed a tackle on Texas quarterback Vince Young. Missing that tackle let Young rush for the first down and keep the drive going, which led to the game-winning touchdown. I think we all know what play stands out to me, Reid said. I have thought about this game probably 1,000 times since last year. It stings thinking about it right now. Luckily we have a chance this year to go down there and do something about it. Kansas is using last years loss as motivation for this Saturdays game in Austin, Texas. We should have got them last year, Reid said. We are just going to go down there and do our
best and see what happens. Reid and Young were talking to each other the entire game, but Reid said Young didnt have anything to say to him after he broke the tackle. After that play, he was so far down field he really couldnt say anything to me, Reid said. He beat me pretty good. The play nearly didnt happen. If junior wide receiver Charles Gordon was not flagged for offensive pass interference, that completion would have given Kansas a first down and the Jayhawks could have run the clock out with a fresh set of downs. Mangino criticized the referees after the game for their offensive pass interference call against Gordon. Mangino implied that the referees were thinking about the Bowl Championship Series and gave Texas the call to help it get into the BCS. Mangino retracted his comments hours after the game but still received a $5,000 fine from the Big 12 Conference.
Young told reporters Monday in Austin he was upset about Manginos comments following Texas 27-23 victory. Mangino was surprised that Texas was using his comments for motivation. If you are the best team in America and you are looking for motivation, maybe we have got a chance Saturday, Mangino said. Extra Points: F Mangino announced that senior defensive end Charlton Keith was named defensive player of the week for Kansas. The offensive player of the week was senior running back Clark Green. Senior cornerback Ronnie Amadi was named special teams player of the week. F Gordon was also named a semifinalist for the 2005 Jim Thorpe Award, which is given annually to the nations top defensive back. Edited by Alison Peterson

Junior guard Shaquina Mosley takes a shot over Pittsburg State junior center Maggie Apt during the first half. Mosley had 13 points and four assists during the 90-65 victory Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse. ing guard, because it allowed her to penetrate more, to make moves to the basket and to try to score. The results were mostly good, as she scored 13 points. Still, Henrickson would like Mosley to try to create more baskets. I think we can get her to be a little more aggressive, but I think she is trying to run the offense right now, Henrickson said. Both players seemed to be at ease with the play-calling system, yelling out instructions to their teammates and setting up plays. Henrickson said the next step was for the team to improve its defense. The team has worked on trapping opponents to create turnovers. Mosley will continue to split time between the two positions. Bonnie probably sees something in me that I dont, Mosley said. Edited by Jonathan Kealing
