The University of Kansas and
University of Missouri are neck-and-
neck in the latest college rankings
released Friday by U.S. News and
World Report.
The two schools are now tied with
five other public schools Auburn
University, SUNY-Binghamton,
University of Tennessee, University
of Alabama, University of California-
Riverside at 39th among public
universities and 88th overall. Kansas
improved its ranking six spots, while
Missouri fell one spot.
In 2003, Missouri was ranked 13
spots higher than Kansas among
public universities. Since then, the
gap has narrowed but never to a
point where Kansas was tied with
Missouri.
Last year, the University slipped
to 97th overall and 45th among pub-
lic universities. Chancellor Robert
Hemenway is pleased with the
schools climb.
Any time that your rankings
improve, you welcome that informa-
tion, Hemenway said. I think its
recognition that the University is
well thought of by its students.
Hemenway, who said he wanted
the University to be ranked among
the top 25 public universities, said
he was happy to see improvements
led to a better ranking. Among the
improvements Hemenway noted
were having more classes taught by
full-time faculty and reducing the
number of large classes.
Were pleased to see the rankings
go up, but were even more pleased to
see the things weve done be reflected
in the rankings, Hemenway said.
Despite his enthusiasm,
Hemenway said the University was
not driven by rankings and that if
the University was doing its job, the
rankings would take care of them-
selves.
KU spokeswoman Lynn Bretz
agreed. Bretz said the rankings are
prone to fluctuation outside the
Universitys control and could not
be trusted as an absolute authority
in determining the strength of an
institution.
KU students said the rankings
were not important to their view of
the University.
I personally dont think the rank-
ings take into account college atmo-
sphere, Gary Tilkens, Oklahoma
City senior, said. Id be surprised
if the top 10 public universities had
better atmosphere than KU. The
rankings wouldnt affect my decision
to come here.
And though the rankings them-
selves might not matter to most
students, Hemenway noted that the
Universitys position in relation to
Missouri would probably garner
some notice.
It probably doesnt hurt to have
a little healthy competition with
Missouri, Hemenway said.

Puzzled faces greeted the swarm
of people that entered William
Westerbekes class Thursday morn-
ing to present him a W.T. Kemper
Fellowship.
We wanted you to know what
an absolutely great teacher you had,
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said
to Westerbekes law class. We think
you probably knew that anyway.
The Kemper award identifies the
top 20 teachers and advisers at
the University of Kansas each year.
Each recipient receives a check for
$5,000.
The program is supported by
the KU Endowment Association,
Commerce Bank and the William
T. Kemper Foundation.
Seven fellowships were handed
out both Thursday and Friday. Six
more fellowships will be awarded
today.
Lisa Friis, assistant professor
of mechanical engineering, wiped
away a tear after she received her
award. It was a very, very nice
surprise, she said.
Friis said she should have
known something was up when she
thought about how people in her
department had been acting.
Westerbeke said he had 32 years
of wonderful students and that it
was almost criminal to be paid.
I greatly appreciate it, he said.
Its humbling when sometimes
you read the evaluations.

The week-long recruiting pro-
cess for the University of Kansas
sororities came to a shrieking close
Saturday, when prospective members
packed the Kansas Union Ballroom
and received bids from the chapters
they will now call home.
Its about to get loud, warned
Blair Wendlandt, Prairie Village
senior and an active member of
Alpha Delta Pi, 1600 Oxford Road.
The Universitys thirteen
Panhellenic Association sorority
chapters awarded bids to prospec-
tive members. The excitement sur-
rounding the week left both active
and new chapter members ecstatic
for the years ahead.
The most exciting part is definite-
ly adding to our chapter, Wendlandt
said. Increasing our sisterhood, and
not only growing in number but in
the personalities we add.
When asked about what goes on
during the week, active members
said it was about getting to know the
women going through recruitment
and vice versa. No other information
was provided.
On the final day, the prospec-
tive members sat anxiously await-
ing their bid cards in the ballroom.
For many of the women, including
Lauren Swagerty, Topeka freshman,
the week-long recruitment process
left her enthusiastic and spirited
about her potential outcomes.
Im happy with any of my top
three choices, she said. Once you
get down to these, you could fit
potentially well into any of them.
Completely compatible.

One of the newest organizations
at the University of Kansas, Fighting
Ignorance of Global Humanitarian
Threats (FIGHT), only held its first
meeting in February 2006, but hopes
to help change the world.
Our goal is to raise awareness of
and promote action to stop human-
itarian crises all over the world,
Mark Skoglund, Olathe sophomore
and FIGHT President, said.
According to Skoglund, one of
the organizations greatest concerns
during the 2006-07 school year is the
genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
Skoglund is referring to the con-
flict and genocide or ethnic cleans-
ing that has claimed the lives of
tens to hundreds of thousands of
people, including many children.
He also added that FIGHTs agen-
da will include the ongoing conflicts
in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo and Uganda.
Even though FIGHT has only
been in action for less than a semes-
ter, it has already gained 50 active
members and looks to grow a larger
base during its first full school year
in existence.
The group already manages inter-
national action at other campuses
around the United States and is also
in charge of chapters in London and
Rome.
The organizations hope is that
KU students will feel compelled and
affected by these issues enough to
want to raise awareness and create
sweeping change.
To us, it is unacceptable that
conflicts like genocide in Sudan
go ignored by much of the world,
Skoglund said.
Skoglund said that college stu-
dents have often been the driving
force behind major change, especial-
ly regarding the apartheid in South
Africa.
FIGHTs first meeting of the year
is tonight at 8 p.m. in the Parlor
Room of the Kansas Union, located
on the fifth floor.
To get involved, just e-mail Eric
Skoglund at kufight@gmail.com
or attend one of the meetings held
every other week.
Meetings will continue through-
out the semester every other Monday
at varying locations.

Students whose tuition was
paid before yesterday will not be
charged a late fee, even though the
original deadline for penalty was
scheduled for last Thursday. Delays
with the Enroll & Pay system kept
students from paying their bills

In an e-mail delivered Friday,
vice provost for Student Success
Marlesa Roney apologized for the
delays. The e-mail said that Roney
and other administration were
working to resolve the problem.
Beginning early last week,
the system slowed down, mak-
ing tuition payment difcult for
some. The penalty of $75 for late
payment began today rather than
Thursday.

odd news
Two heads are better than
one at a St. Louis museum
ST. LOUIS Ofcials of the
World Aquarium at the City Mu-
seum subscribe wholeheartedly
to the maxim that two heads are
better than one.
If theyre on the same animal,
that is.
Aquarium ofcials hope an
exhibit that opens next week and
runs through Sept. 5 will prompt
the creation of a Guinness World
Record for the most two-headed
animals on display.
So far, the aquarium has lined
up 10 two-headed snakes and tur-
tles, including We, the aquariums
rare albino two-headed rat snake.
The other nine animals are owned
by Fred Lally of West Fork, Ark.
And if a local reptile dealer with
a two-headed snake adds his to
the exhibit, the head count would
rise to 22.
It should be a huge two-
headed party, aquarium presi-
dent Leonard Sonnenschein said
Tuesday.
Sonnenschein hopes two of
the guests will hit it of. He would
like to mate one of Lallys snakes,
a two-headed albino rat snake
named Golden Girls, with We.
The aquarium has been trying
to breed We since failing to sell
the snake online in January. Of-
fcials had hoped it would bring
$150,000, but there were no bid-
ders and two subsequent ofers
were under $50,000.
Mannequin leaves woman
battered and bruised
LOS ANGELES A woman is su-
ing J.C. Penney Co. after an alleged
run-in with a store mannequin that
she said left her with a cracked
tooth, a bloodied head and recur-
ring shoulder pain.
Diana Newton, 51, of Westmin-
ster, sued the Texas-based retailer
last month in Orange County Su-
perior Court, claiming she was
cracked in the head by a legless
female dummy at its Westminster
Mall store.
Newton said the incident hap-
pened nearly a year ago in the
womens department, as she was
shopping for a blouse. The only
one in her size was on the manne-
quin. As a salesclerk was removing
the garment, the dummys arm
few of and struck Newtons head,
according to her lawsuit.
I felt a burning sensation, she
recalled.
Paramedics treated her bleeding
scalp at the scene. Newton drove
herself home, then had someone
take her to a hospital for further
treatment.
The blow also cracked a molar,
which led to a root canal, she said.
The lawsuit seeks unspecifed
damages.
A spokeswoman for J.C. Penney
said the company doesnt com-
ment on pending litigation.
Son receives late mothers
58-year-old post card
SPICELAND, Ind. A postcard
that a mother mailed to her son in
1948 was fnally delivered to the re-
cipient but only after the towns
postmaster bought it on eBay.
Spiceland Postmaster Judy Dish-
man, who is away from her ofce
on leave, bought the postcard be-
cause it featured a country view of
the Spiceland area, about 40 miles
east of Indianapolis. Dishman no-
ticed the postcard was addressed
to 82-year-old Charles Rocky Rose
of Spiceland, so she delivered it.
The card was from Roses late
mother, Dollie Rose. The mother
and son used penny postcards to
exchange news during the 1940s,
while the son was working in Lima,
Ohio, and the mother was in Spice-
land, about 100 miles west.

Nathan Towns was skeptical
that his screenplay A Skeleton in
the Closet could be made into a
play for the Lawrence Art Centers
10-minute theater festival. The
Lawrence freshman submitted his
script anyway and during the past
two months, the cast and crew
adapted the script for the stage.
The play debuted with seven
other short plays during the annual
play festival last weekend. The fes-
tival will be staged again this week-
end at 7 and 10 p.m. Friday and 8
p.m. Saturday at the Lawrence Art
Centers EMU Theater, 940 New
Hampshire St. The festival show-
cases the work of local artists and
allows them to perfect their work
through the process of staging it.
Scripts undergo changes as the
work on them in rehearsal pro-
gresses, said Ron Willis, profes-
sor emeritus of theatre and film.
Willis worked with the festivals co-
producer Jeff Sorrels to write It
Happens Every Saturday.
Playwrights learn from seeing
their work staged or even just
read aloud by others, Willis
said. The nature of theatre is such
that the page is really an inadequate
substitute for the stage.
The festival is also an oppor-
tunity for actors, actresses, stage
technicians and directors to develop
and demonstrate their skills.
It is fun, but it is also hard work
that challenges people to grow as
artists and as people, said Honey
Hallock, Stillwater, Okla., senior
who directed, acted and served as
stage manager during the festival.
In addition to Hallock, other fes-
tival participants were involved with
multiple parts of the production.
Gwethalyn Williams, an adminis-
trative associate for the department
of geology, directed one of the plays
and sold refreshments during inter-
mission.
Everybody has to do a little bit of
everything, but thats one thing we
all really enjoy about it, Williams
said. Once youre involved, you can
try out different things.
The participants encouraged oth-
ers, regardless of major or ability, to
get involved with EMU theatre.
The unresolved itch that drives
a person to entertain imaginative
possibilities in the fictional world
of a play is a very humanizing and
ultimately worthwhile impulse,
Willis said.
By creating something that both
participants and audience members
can enjoy, the festival allows the
theater community to connect with
the community of Lawrence. Willis
said the plays gave audience mem-
bers a chance to expand and exer-
cise their imaginations.
It is seldom simply a matter
of whether they like or do not
like a particular play, Willis said.
It is rather that they have gone
someplace vicariously and had the
chance to try out their responses at
what they have encountered.

CRIME
ENROLLMENT
Heasley heads to court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing
BY DAVID LINHARDT
The 20-year-old University of
Kansas student charged with sex
crimes against a 15-year-old girl
he met in an Internet chatroom
will have a preliminary hearing on
Tuesday.
Alexander R. Heasley, who is
enrolled at the University for the
Fall 2006 semester, was charged
Thursday in Douglas County court
with two counts of indecent liberties
with a child and one count of crimi-
nal sodomy.
Heasley pled not guilty to each
charge during his first appearance in
court Thursday afternoon. He was
released on $25,000 bond.
The Douglas County court dock-
et and Lawrence Police Department
said charges included lewd fondling
or touching a 15-year-old girl at
a residence in the south part of
Lawrence.
Charles Branson, Douglas County
district attorney, said Heasley and
the victim had
met on a Kansas-
related Yahoo cha-
troom. The contact
occurred between
July 11 and July 22.
Branson and
Lawrence police
spokeswoman Kim
Murphree said
Heasley and the
victim knew each
other before the
incident but declined to elaborate
further on their relationship.
Heasley was arrested Wednesday
morning at his Lawrence apart-
ment.
Douglas County court officials
will prosecute the case. said Angela
Wilson, assistant district attorney,
Sarah Swain was appointed to serve
as Heasleys attorney.
Swain said she did not have
enough informa-
tion Friday after-
noon to comment
about the case.
H e a s l e y s
parents did not
return calls
requesting com-
ment. Heasleys
friends declined
to comment on
the charges.
Un i v e r s i t y
officials did not release any further
information.

The coordinator of the University
of Kansas Global Awareness Program
said she hopes a slew of e-mails she
sent this month could help recruit
more students to the program.
Many students may not know
that they already possess one or two
of the components needed for cer-
tification in the program, said Jane
Irungu, coordinator of the Global
Awareness Program. The e-mails
were a good way to outreach to
them.
The program
aims to provide
i nt e r n a t i o n a l
experience to
under gr aduat e
students through
foreign language
programs, study
abroad and inter-
national activities.
GAP was
implemented at
the University in the fall of 2004 and
has been growing since then. Irungu
said about 1,000 students participate
in the program and about 224 have
completed the program in the last
few years.
In addition to the e-mail cam-
paign, Irungu also attended each
summer orientation session to
encourage students to register with
GAP.
Julio Castillo, Bolivia junior, has
been an ambassador with GAP for
two years. Castillo said the program
has brought a global perspective
within reach.
The whole purpose of the pro-
gram is to motivate people to get
interested in different cultures and
societies, Castillo said. Ive been
able to meet and interact with peo-
ple from all around the world. This
allows me to get a different idea of
their cultures and ways of living and
motivates me to go to their countries
and experience
their cultures.
Certification is
open to any stu-
dent in any major.
To complete the
program and
receive certifica-
tion, students must
fulfill at least two
of three different
criteria, including
participating in a study abroad pro-
gram or maintain status as an inter-
national student at the University;
completing at least two semesters
of foreign language or internation-
al study courses or complete KU
English proficiency requirements; or
being involved in at least 60 units of
participation in international related
clubs, programs or activities.
Students who complete the pro-
gram receive special designation on
their transcripts and can list the
certification on their resumes as they
search for employment after gradu-
ation.
Irungu said she thinks partici-
pants will have an advantage in the
job market because employers will
realize their international experi-
ence. She thinks participants will
have a greater understanding and
awareness of issues that employees
face in a diverse market.
The world has become more of a
small village, Irungu said. Everyone
is interconnected, everyone walks
with other societies, so our goal with
GAP is that undergraduates are pre-
pared to walk in that global society
after graduation.
Interested students can register
online at www.international.ku.edu
and then follow the requirements on
their own. The program is free to all
students and sustained by student
tuition enhancement.
Irungu said she expects to see the
results of the campaign this fall and
hopes more students will sign up for
the program.

CRIME
Suspect in JonBenet case travels in luxury
BY JOCELYN GECKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABOARD THAI AIRWAYS TO
LOS ANGELES John Mark Karr,
the suspect in the death of 6-year-
old JonBenet Ramsey, sipped cham-
pagne and ate fried king prawns in
business class Sunday after being put
aboard a flight to Los Angeles to face
charges in the United States.
As Karr wined and dined in style
and chatted with the three U.S. offi-
cials escorting him, another bomb-
shell emerged: Reports that Karr
sought treatment at a Thai sex-
change clinic.
His Thai Airways International
flight took off about 8 p.m. (9 a.m.
EDT) for the 15-hour flight to Los
Angeles. Karrs journey will eventu-
ally end in Boulder, Colo., where
he is expected to face charges of
first-degree murder, kidnapping and
child sexual assault in connection
with the young beauty queens 1996
killing.
Karr, dressed neatly in a red,
short-sleeve, button-down shirt and
black tie, was not handcuffed while
being whisked through Don Muang
International Airport in Bangkok. At
the departure gate, he talked amiably
with fellow passengers.
The 41-year-old teacher sat in a
business class window seat next to
Mark Spray, an investigator with the
Boulder County District Attorneys
office. A U.S. Embassy official and
an agent with Homeland Security
on his T-shirt were also part of the
escort party.
Before takeoff, Karr took a glass
of champagne from a flight atten-
dant and clinked glasses with Spray,
who sipped orange juice.

Te recent article Student group
works to keep college cost down
(8/17/2006) failed to provide an ac-
curate understanding of the changing
nature of todays college textbooks.
To help every student succeed,
publishers ofer thousands of op-
tions for textbooks and instructional
tools at a wide range of prices. Tis
variety allows faculty and students
to use course materials that best suit
to their needs. Yet despite these ad-
vances, tuition and student fees have
increased faster than the average new
textbook price. According to Student
Monitor, the average college student
spent $644 on textbooks during the
2005-2006 academic year, a cost that
has remained generally steady over
the past three years.
As the article noted, students have
a variety of ways to save money on
textbooks. Publishers are doing their
part by ofering lower priced alter-
native texts in black and white, as
well as the opportunity to pick and
choose which supplemental materi-
als students may want to use. Today,
students have more choices than
ever before in the textbooks and
study tools that best suit their learn-
ing needs.
As the cost of higher education
continues to escalate, Americas
publishers are helping students get
the most out of their tuition dollar
by helping them succeed. Contrary
to the image created by your article,
todays college textbooks may be the
best long-term investment a student
can make.

Lets get weirder
Do your part, volunteer to help others
Progressives need to work harder
KU students, its time to turn
your backs.
For too long people have been
trying to change the world in
tired ways.
The rhetoric from the side-
walk-chalkers and the Inspirers
of Idle Youth boils down to
four things: Vote. Get involved.
Volunteer. Protest something.
In other words, they say you
need to turn off the TV and wake
up to the world. Fair enough.
But the next step what to
do has been confined and
regulated to the point that our
generations rebels resemble the
mocha-drinking, iPod-listening
parodies of 1960s protest figures
you see today.
Its time for some new energy.
On Friday, a group of people
went through the middle of cam-
pus. Did you see them? They
all wore weird colorful clothing
and the one in the back carried a
boombox with funk music blar-
ing out the speakers.
This group out to freak the
squares was also a copy of the
1960s rebel movement, straight
out of the pages of The Electric
Kool-Aid Acid Test. But there is
a difference between them and
todays mainstream activists, and
it shows what has survived from
the 1960s and what has been
lost.
What has survived is a sub-
dued version of the Vietnam
protestors, with their activism
always regulated by time, place
and manner.
What has been lost is the spon-
taneous stuff. The weird stuff. Or
even stuff that isnt necessarily
weird, but isnt prescribed and
predictable.
For instance, last year a KU
student named Aaron Olsen,
through his own initiative, start-
ed a garden on campus in what
was formerly a weed patch near
Smith Hall. The project wasnt
revolutionary, but it was some-
thing new and that gave it a
certain vitality.
Yes, its time to turn your back
on the tried and tired and worn-
out action. And head someplace
else.
Frank Tankard for the editorial
board Enlightened citizens of the liberal
oasis that is Lawrence, rejoice the
rest of the state is fnally catching up
to you. Earlier this month, in a state-
wide election high on publicity and
low on voter turnout, Kansas relin-
quished its role as laughingstock of
the late-night TV circuit (for now)
when it ousted an anti-evolution ma-
jority from the state school board.
Maybe those bumper stickers made
a diference afer all.
Taken with Bushs public ap-
proval nosedive, things seem to be
looking pretty good for those on the
lef side of the spectrum, in Kansas
and across the nation. Has the con-
servative movement fnally run its
course? Does Conan OBrien need
to start looking for some new mate-
rial? Dont hold your breath. Unfor-
tunately, as the saying goes, all that is
apparent is not real.
At best, this months elections
should be seen as a partial victory for
liberals. Te religious right may have
lost its power over the content of our
states textbooks, but its candidates
won several seats in the state House
of Representatives. And Jim Barnett
won the Republican gubernatorial
primary with the backing of the far-
right Kansas Republican Assembly.
Sorry to have to break it to you, pro-
gressive-minded students, but con-
servatives arent going anywhere.
Dont get me wrong theres noth-
ing Id like more than to see them
disappear. But the fact is that these
days conservatives are the only ones
out there doing the hard work of
base-building that has to be done in
order to gain political power.
Case in point: the anti-immigrant
group FAIR spent decades under the
radar, building support for its cause
in cities and towns across the coun-
try, before immigration became such
a visible and controversial issue.
To bring the issue closer to home,
students from Wichita might remem-
ber the massive anti-abortion dem-
onstrations staged by Operation Res-
cue in the 1990s. Would the recent
nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court
have been so conservative were it not
for the grassroots movement against
abortion? Probably not.
Conservatives are winning be-
cause they have managed to capture
the hearts and minds of many (but by
no means all) ordinary Americans.
Progressives, meanwhile, have seem-
ingly lost their appeal. However, this
wasnt always the case.
For example, in the early six-
ties, black and white students from
around the country spent their sum-
mer vacations in the Deep South,
under the constant threat of death,
conducting voter registration drives
among disenfranchised black share-
croppers. Tey did so not just in an
efort to give help to the needy, but
because they realized that positive
change in America comes from be-
low, not from above. Tey were right
the political system in America
underwent a drastic transformation
as a result of their work.
Tat mindset has been lost over
the years. Nowadays, progressive-
minded college students are more
likely to disdain average Americans
than to fnd common ground with
them. More ofen than not, if they
come from the Midwest, this leads to
an intense desire to leave everything
behind. Ive lost count of how many
friends of mine, disgusted with all
things relating to Kansas, have fed
their home state to the relative com-
forts of liberal havens such as New
York, Chicago and worst of all
San Francisco.
Teres nothing inherently wrong
with that, but its no way to make so-
cial change. Conservatives will con-
tinue to make gains if the cynical,
anti-populist mentality of liberals
persists. And until we start point-
ing the blame at ourselves, instead of
our fellow Kansans, things will only
continue to get worse.

I was walking out of another un-
original attempt at a blockbuster
movie, arguing with my 11-year-old
sister about what she called Hillary
Dufs brilliant performance and
thinking about where to go for din-
ner.
Ten I caught sight of her: a
woman no older than 30, wearing a
ragged shirt, torn jeans and in need
of a shower. Her unwashed face
screamed misery as she sat in the al-
ley between the theater and the park-
ing lot with a cardboard paper sign
asking moviegoers to spare a buck or
two for her dinner.
Momentarily I was overcome with
a terrible sting of sadness, shadowed
by an odd guilt, for which I could not
place an exact reason. I reached for
my wallet to fnd that all I had was a
debit card, no cash and immedi-
ately felt worse.
Early the next morning I decided
to go back to the movie theater with
a sandwich and hot cofee in hopes of
showing the woman that the world
had not forgotten her.
I stopped my car and looked
around the theater and alleyway, but
she was nowhere to be found.
Driving back, the guilt from before
situated its way into my thoughts.
Te countless opportunities and dai-
ly luxuries I had been given spiraled
in my mind, and what bothered me
most was that I had never considered
them as such until that moment.
An old proverb says that a chain
is only as strong as its weakest link;
then a society can only be as strong
as its weakest members.
If we devote more time to the
rich and famous constantly read-
ing and watching shows about them,
spending thousands of dollars on
their movies, music, sporting events
and clothing lines then the people
next door who wonder where their
next meal will come from, how they
can help their sick child, where they
should go when it starts to rain if
we spend countless hours promoting
our own well-being, despite what it
may mean to the rest of the world,
caring more about ourselves, our
worries, problems, goals and dreams
that shows exactly how strong our
society is.
Go through your closet: Tere
is bound to be an outdated pair of
jeans, some T-shirts that are nearly
glued to the hangers from non-use or
a pair of old sneakers you will never
wear again. Take them to a donation
center.
Maybe instead of spending that
extra hour each night watching re-
runs of South Park, you could stop
by the shelter and see if they need a
hand. Join a childrens community
outreach program and spend an hour
or two a week playing board games
with some ffh-graders. Pass by the
donation box and drop in the loose
change that would end up under the
couch cushions anyway.
Helping can mean as little efort as
taking a minute afer checking your
e-mail to visit www.thehungersite.
com, where the click of a mouse can
help fund a school or support a child
healthcare program.

jericho (continued from 1A)
Some North Lawrence business
owners are open to the idea of allow-
ing CBS and Jericho take over the
town because it could bring business
and notoriety.
Rick Renfro, owner of Johnnys
Tavern, 401 N. Second St., thought
the show would be great for North
Lawrence and Lawrence as a whole
because it would be a good time.
Any excuse for a party is a good
excuse, Renfro said.
The event may involve changing
the name of the town to Jericho for
a week or so, said Stan Herd, a crop
artist and Lawrence resident, who
was sought out to create field art
for the event. Herd is also respon-
sible for bringing the event to North
Lawrence. His reasoning was that
North Lawrence was its own little
town separate from Lawrence with
its own bars and restaurants. Also,
the made-for-TV movie The Day
After was filmed in Lawrence.
Herd is cutting the design in the
sweet corn field at Bismarck Gardens,
a vegetable farm at 1616 N. 1700
Road. The image will be a silhouette
of a boy standing on the roof of a
barn looking at a mushroom cloud
in the distance, said Mary Ross, who
owns the farm with her husband Pat.
Jericho and CBS will be written in
the field beneath the picture. The
image will stretch 20 acres.
Ross said she and her husband
were happy to let Herd, an old friend,
use their field because it had already
been harvested and their business
had closed for the season in the
beginning of August.
Herd said there may be other pro-
motional possibilities, but added that
he hoped the event would entice
folks from the coasts to return to
Lawrence to shoot movies or televi-
sion shows.
Theres some consensus, if the
show goes well it will bring some
activity here, Herd said.

during recruitment week.
We had great girls that will ben-
efit in and with the house, she said.
Its definitely an advantage that the

ing every individual house.

DREXEL, Mo. A rural Drexel
man was charged Sunday with one
count of murder as investigators
scoured a rural plot of land where
they think up to seven people may
have been killed.
Michael Lee Shaver Jr., 33, was
charged with first-degree murder
and armed criminal action related
to a killing that
occurred in the fall
of 2001. Officials
said Shaver told
investigators he has
killed seven people
on the property, all
of whom he met
through narcotics
transactions.
Cass County
Sheriff s Capt.
Chuck Stocking
said Shaver, who was arrested Friday
after a failed carjacking, might have
been exaggerating about the kill-
ings.
He can say that he killed 50, but
we have to prove that he actually
did, Stocking said.
Shaver and another man, Nathan
Wasmer, 27, of Peculiar, were travel-
ing at a high rate of speed Friday
when Shaver lost control of his vehi-
cle and wrecked, Stocking said. He
said the two men tried to carjack a
witness, but fled after they couldnt
get into the womans vehicle.
The witness told a 911 dis-
patcher that the
two men were
armed with guns.
The men were
tracked down to
a residential area,
where Wasmer
surrendered after
an hour-long
standoff and
Shaver was found
about a half-hour
later hiding in a
nearby yard, officials said.
Stocking said Shaver told depu-
ties as he was being placed into a
patrol car that he had knowledge
of human remains on the property
where he lives, and that he wanted
to talk to someone about it.
It was a spontaneous statement
he made while he was being inter-
viewed for the carjacking, said
Stocking, who added that he was
skeptical of the claims, at first.
I didnt believe him, Stocking
said. I just flat didnt believe him.
While being interviewed later
Friday, Shaver told investigators that
he had shot and killed seven people
at his residence during drug trans-
actions so he could take their money
and drugs.
Stocking said Shaver claimed that
after he killed the men all between
the ages of 20 and 40 and from the
Kansas City area - he dismembered
the bodies, burned the parts in a
fireplace in his bedroom, then used
a hammer to crush large bones and
skulls.
He said he then spread the bone
fragments around his back yard.
A search warrant was issued
Friday evening, and the first bone
fragments were found Saturday.

DURHAM, N.C. Sunny
Dawson ran two miles every other
day when she started her freshman
year at the University of Southern
California. But the lure of the cafete-
ria near her dorm became too much
to resist.
Everyone I know went crazy,
Oh my God, pizza. Oh my God,
ice cream, she said. Dawson soon
stopped running and started piling
up the food in the cafeteria.
By Christmas break, the 5-foot-
10 native of Haleiwa, Hawaii, had
gained 10 pounds.
I realized I dont have to be a
victim of this and started making
better choices, she said. I ate a lot of
salads and cut out sodas altogether.
By spring break I was normal again.
I was stoked.
As high school graduates start
college this month and next, uni-
versities are offering a range of tools
to help them avoid Dawsons mis-
take. While experts say the so-called
Freshman 15 is usually only 5 to
7 pounds, its a common experi-
ence for many college newcomers
faced with unlimited cafeteria food,
late-night pizza binges and snacking
that comes with irregular student
schedules.
The patterns and the habits that
students get into in the first two
to three months of school is what
tends to carry them through the rest
of their time on campus, said Jen
Ketterly, nutrition and fitness coor-
dinator for campus health services at
the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill.
At nearby Duke University, the
private college of about 6,000 under-
graduates offers an interactive nutri-
tion workshop for freshmen with
eating problems. It includes tips for
quick, healthy meals in the dorm,
and how to eat the right way in an
all-you-can eat dining hall.
A lot of kids really dont have a
clue of what theyre not supposed to
eat and what constitutes a healthy
diet, says Jenny Favret, the nutrition
manager at Dukes Eating Disorders
Program.
The problem isnt always weight
gain: Some new students lose weight
because theyre no longer getting
three meals a day from Mom and
Dad.
Often times students have a very
difficult schedule. They dont have
enough time to eat (properly) so
they eat a lot of snacks, said Joshua
Solano, 20, of Florida, wholl be a
junior at Duke this year. I actually
lost a little weight from my irregular
eating habits.
Campus cafeterias have improved
their menus over the years and now
offer more healthy choices, such as
salad bars, said Kim Dude, director of
the Wellness Resource Center at the
University of Missouri-Columbia.
Then the issue is how to educate
students on how to make the right
choice, she said. At Missouri, stu-
dents are trained to make presenta-
tions to their peers at residence halls,
fraternities and sororities on eating
healthy, handling stress, exercising
and generally leading a healthy life-
style, she said.
Social pressures also often inten-
sify at college, where students have
more opportunity to compare them-
selves with each other because they
spend so much time together, offi-
cials at several schools said. The
super-fit bodies that saturate TV
shows and commercials can exacer-
bate such problems.
At Southern Cal, there are semi-
nars for freshmen taught by USC
professors that deal with messages
that can lead to damaging self-imag-
es. One such class Impossible
Bodies: Plastic Surgery as a New
Social Problem explores the rela-
tionship between viewing plastic
surgery reality shows to dissatisfac-
tion over a particular body part.
Dawson, a 19-year-old business
major entering her sophomore year,
will lead a program for about 65 of
her fellow dorm residents mostly
freshmen on making healthy liv-
ing choices. It will include exercising
together and tips on healthy eating,
she said.
A lot of freshmen, she said, just
dont know what theyre getting into
right now.

Depth: 3.8333 in; Color: Black; Ad Number: 22573
By Jeff Deters
When asked whether they would
play another volleyball game, Abbie
Jacobson and Paula Caten jumped
at the opportunity.
They were two of the alumni who
faced off against current Jayhawks
in Saturdays volleyball exhibition
game at the Horejsi Family Athletics
Center. The current Jayhawks swept
the match, but the alumni enjoyed
the chance to reunite.
I love these girls. Theyre like
family to me, Jacobson said. And
its always fun to come back and get
your hand on a volleyball.
Though Jacobson described her
own performance during the game
as rusty, and the current Jayhawks
won all three games, 30-26, 30-28,
30-27, coach Ray Bechard noted the
alumnis ability to keep the score
close.
This was as competitive an
alumni team as weve had put
together, Bechard said.
Neither Jacobson nor Caten pre-
pared much for the game because
both have been busy with other
activities in their lives.
Jacobson is currently living and
working in Kansas City, as a per-
sonal trainer for Impact Fitness,
and her responsibilities now are
far different than when she was an
athlete.
Im in charge of helping clients
reach their goals. A lot of them
have weight problems, and I help
them with strength and condition-
ing and reaching optimal fitness,
Jacobson said.
Like Jacobson, Catens everyday
life has also changed. Caten no lon-
ger has the demands of being a stu-
dent-athlete, but she is finishing up
her degree in communication stud-
ies this semester at the University
of Kansas, and hopes to get an
internship.
In addition, Caten is also mother
to her 5-year old daughter, Paola.
Caten said her mother always
helped take care of Paola while she
was busy with volleyball and school,
but now a lot of the responsibility is
her own.
I have to worry about her every-
day life now, Caten said. Whenever
I dont have any-
thing to do, I have
her.
Paola was at
the game, and
after it was fin-
ished, she clung to
her mothers side
as Caten remi-
nisced about what
she misses most
about playing at
the University.
The crowd.
It was always so
good, Caten said. KU has a lot
of fans and people come to every
game. It was my team. This is our
house. It will be forever.
Jacobson also had fond memo-
ries of the KU crowd, noting intense
games against Baylor and Missouri,
but she had one memory that was
unique in KU volleyball history.
In Jacobsons senior year, the
University made its first ever NCAA
Tournament appearance.
The Jayhawks
went to Pepperdine
and beat Long
Beach State in the
first round.
Its really spe-
cial to be on a
team, to share a
common goal and
to finally achieve
it. It was a bless-
ing, Jacobson
said.
Jacobson also
thought this years
team could achieve similar goals.
Theyre gonna be a solid team,
she said. Coach B really gets them
prepared well for a tough confer-

Jacobson said coming to play at
the University was a bit of a sur-
prise to her small hometown of St.
Marys, which is about thirty miles
east of Manhattan.
It was kind of crazy when I com-
mitted here because everyone was
like What? Youre in Manhattan
land, Jacobson said. But I chose to
challenge a different road. It was the
best decision I ever made.

By Daniel Molina
As he took the stage at the Kansas
Kickoff Rally on Friday night, coach
Mark Mangino observed how much
support for the KU football program
has increased.
In 2002, KU football couldnt
have a party in a phone booth,
Mangino joked.
With anticipation rising for the
upcoming season, more than 2,300
Jayhawk fans showed up for the rally.
It showed just how far the program
has come as Mangino enters his fifth
season at the University of Kansas.
The Kansas Alumni Association
and the Athletics Department jointly
organized the rally that was held in
Prairie Village to generate support
from the nearly 75,000 alumni who
live in the Kansas City metro area.
Mike Davis, senior vice president
of alumni programs, acknowledged
the need for a greater Kansas City
presence on game days.
We want to get people from
Kansas City to come fill up Memorial
Stadium on weekends, Davis said.
Without them, its just not the same
crowd.
The rally featured food vendors,
spirit tables, play areas for kids and
a towering inflatable Jayhawk that
took over the Corinth Square park-
ing lot at the corner of 83rd Street
and Mission Road.
The attractions set the mood for a
short speech by Mangino, who spoke
briefly about the teams chances for
the season, as well as the importance
of fans from outside of Lawrence
supporting the football program.
Its good to see so many people
excited about KU football, Mangino
said.
The event brought together fans
young and old with varying ties to
the University. It was directed by
John Holt, a Kansas City TV anchor
and Kansas alumnus.
Ted Lischer, Leawood resident
and 1989 graduate, brought his two
kids to the rally and decided he
didnt want them to miss a single
game this season.
Were going to buy a season tick-
et pass for my wife and two boys for
the first time, he said.
Lawrence residents Greg and
Marla Welsh made the trek east for
the rally.
While not alums themselves, the
two certainly could be mistaken
for KU grads. The couple attends
Kansas athletic events from baseball
to swimming, and they welcomed
the excitement created by Mangino
and the football team.
From what he said, theyre sup-
posed to be quicker and faster, Greg
Welsh said of Manginos speech. Its
going to be an exciting season, I
hope.

Jessica Kilpatrick wasted no time
getting back into playing form as she
scored the Jayhawks first and only
goal during a 1-1 tie at Drake on
Friday night.
The senior midfielder made
her return to soccer after almost
two years without playing a game
because of personal reasons.
It was good for her and for her
confidence, Kansas coach Mark
Francis said. She was just in the
right place at the right time.
In the 23rd minute, Kilpatrick
collected the ball off of a deflection
kicked it in for the Jayhawks lone
goal. Because of Kilpatricks good
fortune, the Jayhawks were able to
escape from what could have been a
disastrous night.
Only three minutes into the
match, the Bulldogs were able to
catch the Jayhawks defense sleeping
as Drake forward Liz Woerle headed
in forward Danielle Oswalds corner
kick past Kansas sophomore goal-
keeper Julie Hanley.
We came out and looked like
deer in the headlights, Francis said.
After the early goal, the Jayhawks
allowed only two shots on goal and
no corner kicks for the rest of the
game.
On the other end of the field,
Kansas was not quite as polished.
With freshmen Shannon McCabe
and Kim Boyer starting at forward
next to senior Holly Gault, the
offense could never muster much of
an attack.
We just werent on the same page
on offense, Francis said. We had
two freshmen starting and a player
(Gault) whos new to the position.
Thats three girls who have never
played up there.
After their only exhibition, the
Jayhawks have five days remaining
to prepare for the start of the regular
season when they play to Furman at
5 p.m. Friday at the Jayhawk Soccer
Complex.

Lucky goal saves Jayhawks from defeat
Tiger Woods wins third consecutive tournament
Pga chamPionshiP
By DoUG FerGUSon
aSSoCiateD PreSS
MEDINAH, Ill. No tears, no
sweat.
One month after an emotional
victory in the British Open, Tiger
Woods won the PGA Championship
with a ruthless display of efficiency
Sunday, closing with a 4-under 68
for a five-shot victory and his 12th
career major.
He became the first player in his-
tory to go consecutive years winning
at least two majors. And now, only
Jack Nicklaus and his 18 professional
majors stand in the way of Woods
becoming golf s greatest champion.
Woods started with a 10-foot
birdie to seize the lead. He finished
with a tap-in par to match his scoring
record at the PGA Championship,
finishing at 18-under 270 and walk-
ing off the 18th green with a broad
smile.
That wasnt the case at Hoylake
last month, where Woods sobbed on
his caddies shoulder after winning
his first major since his father died
in May.
He paid tribute to Earl Woods
again, his voice steady this time. He
even managed a wisecrack about
how his father taught him to putt.
I kept saying all day, Just putt to
the picture. He actually knew what
he was talking about, Woods said.
This celebration was routine.
Woods plucked the ball out of the
cup and put it in his pocket, thrust
his fists in the air and gave a thumbs-
up sign as he walked over to pick up
the Wanamaker Trophy.
This is sweet. This is really
sweet, he said.
He became the first player to win
the PGA Championship twice on the
same course. Woods outlasted Sergio
Garcia by one shot at Medinah in
1999. This one was never close.
Woods twice made birdie putts
over 40 feet, and the margin of vic-
tory might have been greater had
he not aimed for the middle of the
green and lagged for par over the
closing holes.
Shaun Micheel won the battle
for second place, about the only
drama on a sunny afternoon outside
Chicago.
Even the race for the Ryder Cup
fizzled, with no change in the stand-
ings.
So much for those worries about
Woods after he missed the cut at the
U.S. Open. He now has won his last
three tournaments, the first time he
has done that in five years.

INJURIES
(CONTINUED FROM 12A)
the season, depth on defense is cer-
tainly a concern.
Redshirt freshman safety Darrell
Stuckey, sophomore linebacker
James Holt and senior safety Jerome
Kemp all missed Fridays practice
with undisclosed injuries. Both Holt
and Stuckey were projected starters.
Mangino said that its likely Kemp
will be healthy in time for the season
opener Sept. 2 against Northwestern
State, but that Stuckey and Holt will
not. He also said that senior line-
backer Eric Washington was a little
dinged up, but that the injury was
not serious.
Despite the injuries to both start-
ers and backups who were expected
to see significant time, Mangino said
hes not concerned.
The way I look at injuries, one
door closes, another one opens,
Mangino said. Its an opportunity
for other players to shine and thats
the way weve always gone about it
and we believe that here.

In addition to Noyes, Bechard
said freshmen Brittany Williams
and Paige Mazour, as well as junior
Caitlin Mahoney would all be capa-
ble of filling the middle blocker posi-
tion.
Despite Uharts injury, the team
played well against the alumni team,
winning the first three games, 30-26,
30-28 and 30-27.
The two areas we really wanted
to excel in were pass and serve,
Bechard said. The pass was very
strong. Now, the serve we need to
pick that up a little bit.
Bechard said the team did some
uncharacteristic things serving the
ball, so they will be doing a lot of
serving the next four days at practice
before the season gets underway.
After the three game sweep, Emily
Brown, junior opposite hitter/setter,
said the team definitely got off to a
good start for the season.
I think we have a good group
that clicks well together, no matter
whos in or whos out, Brown said.
We are very versatile.
Brown led the team with 14 kills.
The alumni team gave the
Jayhawks a scare in the second
match, but came up short. No statis-
tics were kept for the alumni team,
but former manager Phil Oberzan
gave the alumni team some helpful
athleticism.
Lima was on the alumni roster
but did not attend the scrimmage.
Lima will be heading overseas to
play professional volleyball in Spain.
Outside the game itself, Brown
said the scrimmage was a good way
to show the newcomers the game-
day ritual from the pregame meal to
getting out on the court.
I think its really good for the
newcomers, the freshmen, to get a
chance to see what Kansas volleyball
is all about, she said.
Kansas will begin its season Friday
in Tuscaloosa, Ala., at the Crimson
Tide Invitational against Alabama
A&M, followed by matches against
Miami and Alabama on Saturday.
KUs first home match will be

A consulting group studied the issue
and found that each week during the
season, $1.1 billion in productivity is
lost to fantasy football. During the sea-
son, that beats out the $3.8 billion lost
to the NCAA basketball tournament.
A whole industry has sprung up
around the craze. Head to any news-
stand this month, and youll see an
entire rack of fantasy football preview
magazines. Its the male version of
Cosmo or Glamour magazines, except
instead of the 10 secrets to a successful
diet, its the 10 secrets to a successful
kicking game.
Even The University Daily Kansan is
joining the party. The first installment
of Evan Hengels weekly fantasy football
column will run this Wednesday.
So dont fight the trend. Just give in,
and make fantasy football a part of your
fall semester. And remember to draft
Peyton Manning.

Even sophomore receiver Tommy
Saunders started three games.
Daniel should be well protect-
ed with junior
Tyler Luellen
and senior Joel
Clinger at the
tackles spots,
junior Monte
Wyrick and
senior Mike
Cook at the guard
spots and junior
Adam Spieker at
center. The five
combined for 48
starts in 2005.
The Tigers
will also have a veteran defensive
line with seniors Brian Smith and
Xzavie Jackson at the ends and junior
Lorenzo Williams and senior Jamar
Smith on the interior.
Brian Smith led the line last year
with 66 tackles and nine sacks. Hes
since been recognized as a pass-rush-
ing threat, but he doesnt want to be
seen as a one-dimensional player.
I definitely want to prove this
year that I am an all-around football
player as a defensive lineman, Smith
said. Im not just a sack specialist.
Any ball carrier who makes it
past Missouris defensive line will be
greeted by a pair of linebackers with
a nose for the ball. Seniors Marcus
Bacon and Dedrick Harrington were
third and fifth, respectively, on the
team in tackles last year and had three
sacks apiece.
S o p h o mo r e
Van Alexander
should fill the
third linebacker
spot.
Mi s s o u r i s
secondary took
the biggest hit
from last season.
Overstreet is the
only returning
starter and even
hes been moving
back and forth
between free and strong safety.
Ive always been able to play both
safeties because I feel like its my
job to know what everybody on the
defense does, Overstreet said.
Overstreet should fill the strong
safety spot, but the free safety spot
is up for grabs. Sophomore William
Moore is listed in Missouris 2006
Recruiting Guide as the No. 1 free
safety, but Overstreet talked about
junior Paul Simpson playing the
position at the Big 12 Media Days
in July.
Sophomore Domonique Johnson
and junior Darnell Terrell are the
leading candidates to fill the cor-
nerback spots. Johnson recorded 35
tackles and Terrell picked off two
passes, with both playing in all 12 of
Missouris games last season.
Although Missouri is in the envi-
able position to have so many return-
ing starters, theres no doubt that the
Tigers success rests on the arm not
the legs of new starting quarterback
Chase Daniel.
The rigors of starting every week
as a Big 12 quarterback are foreign
to Daniel, but his teammates have
already noticed his leadership skills
and think he has the intangibles to
help fans forget about Brad Smith.
He led his high school team to
two consecutive championships and
I think he can bring that caliber of
play to the Missouri Tigers and well
be good, real good, Brian Smith
said.

Mark Manginos depth at running
back took a serious hit this weekend
after an injury he called unusual.
Redshirt freshman running back
Angus Quigley will miss the 2006
season after suffering an undisclosed
injury, Mangino announced follow-
ing Fridays open practice. The coach
refused to discuss the specifics of the
injury, as is typical team policy.
Its a very unusual injury,
Mangino said. In fact, our medical
team had to do extensive research
to find out whos an expert on these
types of injuries, because theyre
rare.
He said Quigley would be under
the care of the lead orthopedic sur-
geon for the Miami Dolphins pro-
football team.
Quigley was expected to back up
senior running back Jon Cornish.
Instead, the backup duties will now
fall to true freshman Jake Sharp, who
saw snaps with both the first and
second-team offense at practice on
Friday. The injury to Quigley all but
assures that Sharp will not redshirt
this season, which had been a pos-
sibility in the past.
Mangino said he expects Sharp
to be ready and able to serve as
Cornishs back up, even as a fresh-
man.
If you were to say you wanted the
model young man that was prepared
as a true freshman to take on the
challenges of the Big 12, hes prob-
ably that type of guy, Mangino said.
Also expected to see time in the
backfield is junior fullback Brandon
McAnderson. He saw action in 12
games last season at running back
and on special teams. McAnderson
finished the season with 102 yards
on 22 carries and one touchdown.

not a problem for Kansas entering

The Jayhawk volleyball team
swept a team of Kansas alumni
3-0 Saturday night at the Horejsi
Family Athletics Center, but suf-
fered a loss when junior middle
blocker Natalie Uhart injured her
knee in the first game.
Its really unfortunate she
didnt get to go a little bit longer
tonight and show you what she
can do, coach Ray Bechard said.
Well get everything MRId and
checked out to see where we go
from there.
Uhart, named Big 12 preseason
Newcomer of the Year, transferred
to Kansas from Long Beach State
last year and was expected to
replace Josi Lima at middle block-
er. Uhart had not played much
the last few seasons because of
nagging injuries. Bechard said
the injury Saturday night was not
related to her previous injuries.
On the brighter side, Bechard
said middle blocker was the deep-
est position the team had.
Lets hope that Natalie can
return, he said. If that doesnt
work out, you got Savannah
Noyes who was a full-time starter
last year.

Missouri overcame a 21-point
deficit against South Carolina to
win the Independence Bowl last
December thanks to the arm and
legs of quarterback Brad Smith.
That game was not only a going-
away celebration for Smith; it was
a nationally televised glimpse into
the future for Missouri fans.
Sophomore quarterback Chase
Daniel made a short appearance
as a freshman, completing one of
four passes for six yards. However,
it was what Daniel didnt do that
was prophetic: He didnt have a
single rushing attempt.
Missouri hopes to carry the
momentum from its comeback
victory in the Independence Bowl
into this season and finally finish
atop the Big 12 North.
Our next step is to take that
win and have it propel us into
this year, said senior strong safety
David Overstreet. Time to take
off to another level.
Missouri returns 17 starters and
lost only seven from last season,
but the Big 12 media didnt take
the loss of Smith lightly, picking
the Tigers to finish fifth in the
North.
Daniel might not be Brad Smith,
but according to some Missouri
players, that isnt a bad thing.
Junior tight end Martin Rucker
said Daniel doesnt hide the fact
that hes a pocket passer and wants
to show off his arm.
In the past, if you ran a route
that wasnt the first or second read,
you knew you werent going to get
the ball, Rucker said. Now youve
got to run a little more because at
any time, hell throw the ball to
you and hell put it on the money
and youve got to catch it.
Junior tailbacks Marcus Woods
and Tony Temple will battle for
the starting spot in the backfield
with Daniel.
Woods started all 10 games he
appeared in last year and rushed
for 435 yards and three touch-
downs, but hes recovering from an
Achilles strain. Temple has proven
capable of taking over the tailback
duties after rushing for 437 yards
and three touchdowns last year.
A group of veteran receivers
will be catching passes from the
new signal caller in 2006. Senior
wide receiver Brad Ekwerekwu,
junior wide receiver Will Franklin
and Rucker started a combined 35
games last season.
As recently as five years ago,
identifying yourself as a fantasy
football player carried with it a
negative connotation.
Those people were the math
geeks who didnt really understand
what football was all about, or the
compulsive gamblers who needed
a reason to watch the Arizona
Cardinals. But no longer.
Fantasy football is now main-
stream.
Much like NASCAR it may not
be universally popular but it must
be universally acknowledged.
More than 15 million Americans
played last year, according to a
study by the Fantasy Sports Trade
Association.
For the uninitiated, fantasy foot-
ball involves about a dozen people
who take turns selecting players
who play on professional football
teams. When those players score
points for their real teams, the
fantasy team scores points as well.
Fantasy teams are pitted against
each other every week, like real
NFL teams.
The fantasy season ends with the
team that drafted Peyton Manning
winning, and the other 11 play-
ers complaining that if their tight
end hadnt got hurt in week seven,
their team would have won.
Whats driving this trend? Young
males. College students who grew
up with free agency and players
who switch teams almost yearly
understand the principles behind
successful fantasy football. Loyalty
to a team is out, replaced by loyalty
to whatever player is performing
successfully that week.
The popularity of football is
another factor. Fantasy baseball
has existed for years, but is mainly
the domain of die-hard fans and
their statistical alphabet of WHIP,
ERA and RISP. The casual fan just
isnt ready to make a 162-game
commitment.
Football, with its weekly games
and mid-week trash talk, is paced
just right for fantasy players.
A consulting group studied the
issue and found that each week
