Free birthday cake Tuesday on
Wescoe Beach attracted flocks of
students.
Student Alumni Association
hosted the annual Celebrate KU
event, held every Sept. 12 in com-
memoration of the first day of
classes at the University of Kansas.
This year marks the 140th anni-
versary.
Erin Vernon, president of
Student Alumni Association, said
honoring the day was important
for students.
I think sometimes we forget
that KU has a long history and this
just reminds us that KU has been
here a long time before us and it
will be here a long time afterwards,
Vernon said.
Vernon said there were not
many other schools that celebrate
similar birthdays.
Jennifer Alderdice, adviser to
Student Alumni Association, agreed
that the celebration is both special
to the University and important to
her organization.
Were honoring a great tradi-
tion, Alderdice said. Were pro-
moting school spirit and were edu-
cating people about SAA.
Still, Alderdice said some stu-
dents were less interested in
learning about Student Alumni
Association and more interested in
the free cake. She said students had
plowed through nine large birthday
cakes in the first two hours of the
event.
In addition to the cake, the cel-
ebration included a giant birthday
card for the University, with sig-
natures ranging from have a rock
chalk birthday to congrats on
the big 140, you inanimate object.
Alderdice said the card didnt go to
anybody in particular and would
be taken back to the alumni center.
Students said they were gener-
ally pleased but unaffected by the
event.
Thomas Duermeier, Lawrence
junior, said the event didnt encour-
age his school spirit so much as
reaffirm it. Still, he said he thought
the event had a positive effect.
Its good to see something
out here that everyone can come
together for, Duermeier said.

Three of the nine KU women
who appear in Playboys Big 12 fea-
ture signed autographs Tuesday for
a long line of eager KU men.
The signings were at The Jayhawk
Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Rd., in the
afternoon and Hastings, 1900 West
23rd St., in the evening.
Allan Barzegar, Wichita fresh-
man, stood in line for an autograph
Tuesday.
I think its pretty cool that theyve
got Big 12 girls showing what KU
has to offer here, Barzegar said.
Dylan Serrault, Salina sopho-
more, got his chest signed by the
women.
Im not showering for a month,
Serrault said.
Allie Love, Lawrence junior, had
never seen an issue of Playboy until
she looked at herself in the October
issue.
I was kind of surprised that I
made it, Love said. One of my
friends kind of talked me into it and
I just decided to go for it.
Love posed in a library scene
wearing tube socks and a thong.
The whole staff was so nice and
they made me feel so comfortable,
Love said. The whole thing has just
been fun.
Love said she enjoyed watching
her friends reactions when they see
her in the magazine. She said that
despite all the publicity, shes still the
same person.
Stephan Prelog, a Playboy pub-
lic relations representative, said the
women were selected after photog-
raphers came to
the University
last spring and
phot ographed
women inter-
ested in appear-
ing in the maga-
zine. Prelog said
photographers
looked for all-
American col-
l e g e - c a mp u s
women kind
of with that girl
next-door look.
Loni Berry, Topeka senior, decid-
ed to audition for the Big 12 feature
after she saw a newspaper ad last
spring while studying at Watson
Library. She had been in the Women
of KU Calendar and recently posed
for a Chiefs
calendar, but
said she had
never done
anything to
this level.
Both the
photographer
and the pro-
ducer were
f a n t a s t i c ,
Berry said.
They made
you feel really
comfortable.
Berry said her family has been
supportive of her.
Of course my moms not going
to pick up this magazine and be like
this is my daughter, but shes really
supportive, she said.
Berry said she didnt think she
would make it into Playboy.
Its kind of surreal still, she said.
Berry said her ultimate fantasy was
to be a Playboy playmate.
Michael Roberts, who works
for Time/Warner Retail Sales
and Marketing, said a lot of col-
lege bookstores, like the Jayhawk
Bookstore, didnt sell magazines, but
carry the college issue of Playboy for
this event. He said it was probably
the best-selling issue of the year.

The Wal-Mart expansion at 3300
S. Iowa St., which added more than
90,000 sq. feet, was officially unveiled
to the public with its grand opening
this morning.
The food center, Wal-Marts in-
house grocery store, also official-
ly opened today. Wal-Mart is now
207,105 sq. feet in size.
Store manager Richard Chappelle
said grocery stores were being added
to current Wal-Mart stores and are
being included in plans for new
stores.
The grocery business is the
growth vehicle for Wal-Mart in the
United States, he said.
Chappelle said Wal-Mart started
adding higher-end goods to its gro-
cery stores about a year ago because
research indicated customers were
going elsewhere.
Luke Henry, Lawrence junior, said
he liked the fact that he could now
buy food there.
I buy a lot of stuff here, he said.
It makes it easier to shop.
The expanded store also includes
a Tire and Lube Express, a garden
center, an on-site recycling center, a
pharmacy, a Central National Bank
branch, a Blimpie restaurant, a one-
hour photo lab, a portrait studio, a
vision center, hair and nail salons, a
wireless phone center and a sports
shop that will include Jayhawks
apparel and merchandise.
First reviews of the expanded
store have been favorable, but some
customers are still trying to find their
way around the store.
Julie Peterson, Blue Springs, Mo.,
sophomore, said the new layout has
been confusing.
I get a little lost, she said.
The expansion was an 18-month
process, longer than the five to six
months it typically takes to expand to
a store of its size, Chapelle said.
He said the purchase of some
property from Crown Automotive for
the expansion, replacing the wooden
roof with a steel one and knocking
down walls one-by-one added to the
construction time.
The store now employs 450
people, 200 more than it employed
before the expansion. About 700
people applied for the new positions.
The new Supercenter is the 39th in
Kansas.
Chapelle said a welcoming cer-
emony would include the singing of
the national anthem with a group of
Marines presenting the colors. Local
representatives and members of the
Lawrence Chamber of Commerce
will also attend.
And we hope to sell a lot of mer-
chandise after that, he said.

Beverly Boyd will receive a life-
time achievement award this week-
end from Brooklyn College, where
she earned her first degree.
Boyd has been a professor of
English at the University of Kansas
since 1962. Before that she taught
at Redford College. When the
University offered her a position,
she gladly accepted.
I got double the pay and double
the rank, Boyd said.
She said her father helped her
select teaching as a career choice.
He told me that I needed to have
a major if he was going to send me to
college, Boyd said.
Though teaching might not have
been her first love, English was. Her
father would read to her as a child
and since then she has loved English
and reading. Boyd is a medievalist,
which means that she specializes
in medieval literature. She teaches
English 105, which focuses entirely
on Arthurian legend, and English
312, a survey of early English lit-
erature.
Out of all the medieval authors,
her favorite is Geoffrey Chaucer.
Large posters of the author and his
works hang in her office.
Even though she is receiving her
lifetime achievement award in New
York this weekend, her career still
has no end in sight.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2006
BY COURTNEY HAGEN
Eloy Gallegos grew up in a city well
known for its meat-packing industry
and the Hispanic and Latino popula-
tion it employs. He was brought up
in a strong Spanish-speaking culture
by parents who came to the U.S.
from Chihuahua, Mexico, before he
was born.
The Garden City senior was one
of the first in his family to attend col-
lege. Since coming to the University,
Gallegos has found himself in an
unfamiliar situation.
Gallegos said that in Garden City,
Hispanics were the largest minority.
According to a 2000 United States
Census Bureau report, 43.9 percent
of the population of Garden City was
Hispanic or Latino well over the 7
percent Kansas average.
Here at KU it is different, he
said. There are much less Hispanic
and Latino students. Here I am in
the minority of the minority.
The Office of Multicultural
Affairs, the Multicultural Resource
Center and the Office of Admissions
and Scholarships offer a program
aimed toward recruiting and secur-
ing the success of students like
Gallegos.
The program, titled Mi Familia,
or my family, has traveled to Western
Kansas towns for the past two spring
semesters to get the word on higher
education opportunities out to a
Hispanic and Latino population.
Juan Izaguirre, assistant direc-
tor of Multicultural Affairs, said the
program traveled to Western Kansas
area high schools to deliver programs
entirely in Spanish to Spanish-speak-
ing students and their families.
Our message that we want to get
to the students is go to college,
Izaguirre said. Regardless of wheth-
er you go to KU or another school or
a community college, our message is
to go to college.
Instead of catering strictly to pro-
spective students, the program is
designed to incorporate their fami-
lies as well to help them under-
stand the process of applying to and
attending college. Izaguirre said the
program helped to educate parents
who never attended college and
may be unaware of what college life
entails.
Gallegos thinks the Mi Familia
message is a message that needs to
be heard.
It would be really easy for most
to quit school and go work in the
meat packing facilities and make $11
to $12 an hour, Gallegos said. It is
hard not to focus on the now and
instead think of future success that
you might have by going to school.

GREEK LIFE
Program helps Hispanic high school students go to college
EDUCATION
BY MATT ELDER
Delta Tau Delta is returning to
the University of Kansas campus
for the first time since its closing in
June 2001.
After its disappearance from a
decline in members, the groups
national organization has begun the
rebuilding process for the Kansas
chapter.
Ryan Weber, Kansas expansion
team and chapter leadership con-
sultant, began the interview process
Monday for recruits interested in the
new chapter and the opportunities
it presents.
The kids are getting the chance
to start an organization from the
ground up, he said. They will have
an alumni advising team and chapter
consultants, but the KU chapter will
set their own standards.
The expansion team is stressing
the importance of academics, service
and leadership as the foundation of
their organization. Nick Goldsberry,
Delta Tau Delta director of expan-
sion, said he had seen interest from
over 100 students already.
We tend to get guys that took a
look at the greek community and
didnt find what they were looking
for, he said. This is a good opportu-
nity to come in and really shape a fra-
ternity thats going to fulfill that extra
niche in the greek community.
Academics will serve as a large
basis for the chapters recruitment
process. Of the 21 colonizations
the Delta Tau Delta national orga-
nization has made since 2000, the
average grade-point-average of the
recruitment class is 3.6. Overall, the
nationwide GPA for Delta Tau Delta
is 2.95.
When we say were an academic
leader, thats what were striving for,
Goldsberry said. Weve tended to be
in the top 10 every year for the past
20 years.
Both Goldsberry and Weber have
spent their time marketing and pro-
moting the new Kansas chapter since
their arrival on Sept. 1, attempting to
create a buzz around the Lawrence
campus. The next two and a half
weeks will be geared toward the
interview process.
I know that their efforts here are
to recruit high academically achiev-
ing students, Laura Bauer, program
director of fraternity and sorority
life, said. And that will be reflect-
ed in their recruitment process Im
sure.
Recruits will be expected to carry
more than the Delta Tau Delta aca-
demic traditions on their shoulders.
The national body will be observ-
ing Lawrence specifically, as the
Kansas chapter will be used to pilot
several new educational programs
aimed at leadership and involvement
within the campus and community,
Goldsberry said.
The group also provides sev-
eral chances for its members to
attend national leadership confer-
ences. With locations nationwide,
including Maine, West Virginia and
Washington, D.C., all members of
the chapter will have the opportunity
to attend summer and spring break
sessions.
For the 2006-07 school year, Delta
Tau Delta will not have a house for
its members but is looking into plans
for a future house.
The formal pledging ceremony
will be at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at the
Malott Room in the Kansas Union,
and will be open to the public.

OVERLAND PARK Sprint
Nextel Corp., the nations third-
largest wireless provider, on
Tuesday launched Sprint Power
View, its sports and entertainment
video network for mobile phone
customers.
Sprint Power View will provide
customers with about 25 minutes
a day of brief, original segments on
sports, entertainment and news.
Among the offerings are NFL
Game Center, hosted by sports
broadcaster James Brown, and The
Mobile Fix, a five-minute entertain-
ment news show. Also included is
New York Fashion Week, providing
interviews with fashion designers.
Power View is free to Sprint
Vision and Power Vision subscrib-
ers. Others pay at least $15 for
an add-on Internet package with
unlimited Power View.
The company already offers a
video service to customers that
includes streams of television net-
works and on-demand program
clips.
Consumers strong appetites
for sports and entertainment news
at any time and any place like
mounting commutes via mass
transportation or lengthy lines at
nationwide airports requires a
fundamental shift in the way this
content is delivered, Alana Muller,
director of product marketing for
Sprint, said in a news release.
Jeff Kagan, telecom industry
analyst based in Atlanta, said Power
View was an expected move in
an industry that has watched the
number of cell phone users slow
recently.
Were in the beginning of a long
cycle of bringing these new tech-
nologies to the marketplace, Kagan
said. Its not the first, and its not
the last. But its an important piece
somewhere in the middle of this
revolution of bringing television
and movies to the cell phone.
Cingular spokesman Mark Siegel
said Cingular, the countrys largest
cell-phone carrier, offers a similar
service.
What Sprint is announcing is
essentially made-for-mobile video
that you can get on your phone,
Siegel said from his Atlanta office.
Cingular has had that for quite
some time, with its live concerts
and episodes of the HBO TV series
Entourage.
A spokesman for Verizon
Wireless said subscribers to its $15-

HOUSTON Two spacewalking
astronauts Tuesday began installing
the first big addition to the interna-
tional space station in more than two
years, and NASA pronounced the
outing a success, even though a small
bolt floated off and got lost.
I felt today like this is what NASA
is supposed to do, lead space station
flight director John McCullough.
This is what were here to do.
Wearing bulky suits and gloves,
the two Atlantis astronauts ventured
outside to begin attaching a new 17
1/2-ton box-like truss section that
the space shuttle delivered earlier
this week. The job involved connect-
ing 17 wires or tubes and tightening
or loosening 167 bolts.
Astronaut Joe Tanner was work-
ing with a 1 1/2-inch bolt with an
attached spring when the washer
holding it in fell off. The bolt and
spring floated over the head of astro-
naut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper
and skittered across the truss.
While the washer went out into
space harmlessly, Tanner worried the
bolt and spring could get into the
wiring and tubing of the truss and
cause problems.
I just hope that bolt is on its way
to Mother Earth right now and not
on its way to a crucial joint, Tanner
said.
Even though NASA didnt have
any video showing the bolt missing
the mechanism, officials said they
are certain that the bolt flew off into
space harmlessly.
Its pretty trivial, McCullough
said. It didnt go inside.
Space debris can be dangerous
if it punctures space station walls
or spacesuits and can jam crucial
mechanisms. However, spacewalkers
have a long history of losing things
in space. In July, Discovery space-
walkers lost a 14-inch spatula that
floated away.
Two more spacewalks will be
conducted during the 11-day mis-
sion to finish hooking up the new
addition to the half-built space sta-
tion. Construction had been on
hold since the Columbia disaster
in 2003.
The 45-foot, $372 million addi-
tion includes two electricity-gen-
erating solar arrays that will be
unfurled on Thursday. It will pro-
vide more power to the interna-
tional space station in preparation
for European, Russian and Japanese
science modules to be added in the
next few years.
The free-flying bolt marred an
otherwise successful and speedy six-
hour, 26-minute spacewalk.
You did a phenomenal job and
set the bar very high for the rest of
the assembly, Mission Control told
the crew.
Tanner and Stefanyshyn-Piper
zipped through a jam-packed list
of arduous but mundane construc-
tion tasks, putting NASA ahead of
schedule in connecting the addition.
With extra time, Mission Control
assigned them eight extra jobs of
bolt removing and cover unlatch-
ing that would have been part of a
Thursday spacewalk.
Atlantis astronauts Dan Burbank
and Steve MacLean will venture out-
side on Wednesday.
The spacewalk was a first for
rookie astronaut Stefanyshyn-Piper,
who joined an elite club of female
spacewalkers.
Only six other women have par-
ticipated in any of the 159 U.S. space-
walks. A major reason: Spacesuits
are too big for most women, said
Stefanyshyn-Piper, who is 5 feet 10.

Seminar addresses rape prevention
By Kim Lynch
Far away places and foreign cul-
tures beckon at the University of
Kansas annual study abroad fair in
the Kansas Union today.
The Office of Study Abroad is
hosting its annual fair from 9:30 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. on the fourth floor of
the Kansas Union to give informa-
tion to students who want to learn
more about the programs offered.
Stacey Satchell, outreach coordi-
nator, said about 25 percent of KU
students study abroad compared to
1 percent nationally.
Our students have really taken
to it, she said. I think they see the
importance of it.
She said it was a good idea to
study abroad because it looked great
on a rsum and would set a student
apart from other job applicants.
Kara Roelofs, Lawrence senior
and peer advisor at the Office of
Study Abroad, studied abroad in
Merida, Mexico, for a semester and
then took a few months to explore
on her own before returning to the
United States.
Roelofs said that students study-
ing abroad should try to immerse
themselves in the culture by avoid-
ing hanging out with only English
speaking friends during free time.
She said she came away with a dif-
ferent concept of life, which was to
go with the flow and to be flexible.
Cate Crandell, Overland Park
freshman, said she became interested
in studying abroad in France because
she went on a trip there through her
high school and when the time came
to go home, she didnt want to leave.
She said she fell in love with
France and the language, which was
her primary reason for wanting to
study abroad. Studying abroad in
France would also fulfill her third-
and fourth-level language require-
ments.
Satchell said the study abroad
office worked with students to ensure
they would still be on track to gradu-
ate in four years and that every class
would count toward their degree.
Students worry about the costs
of studying abroad, but they can
get scholarships through the study
abroad program, or seek outside
scholarships specifically for study-
ing abroad. Federal financial aid can
also be applied to the study abroad
programs.
Satchell said program costs var-
ied depending on where the student
went and for how long.
The study abroad program offers
about 100 programs in over 50 coun-
tries and 25 different languages.

Fair in Union showcases selection,

alaska oil
Study abroad awaits
BP required to prove environmental safety
h. JOSEF hEBERT
ASSOciATEd PRESS
WASHINGTON Federal reg-
ulators warned BP PLC on Tuesday
that it must supply detailed and
credible evidence that a temporary
fix to resume oil production on
Alaskas North Slope can be done
without environmental risk.
BP must show it can manage
corrosion going forward, Thomas
Barrett, chief of the Transportation
Departments pipeline safety agency,
told a Senate hearing at which oil
company executives said they hope
to present such a plan, possibly this
week.
We must be assured that even
a temporary limited restart can be
operated safely before it can pro-
ceed, said Barrett, who took over
the DOT pipeline agency this year.
Robert Malone, chairman and
president of BP America Inc., a sub-
sidiary of BP PLC, said the company
planned to request within days that
it be allowed to reopen the pipelines
eastern leg so more thorough tests
using a so-called pig device
can be run to ascertain if the line
again can be used to send oil south.
If the (remaining) inspec-
tion results show that the line has
integrity ... we expect to make that
request this week, said Malone. The
segment where a leak occurred
and where tests have shown exten-
sive internal corrosion would
be bypassed with oil diverted to a
nearby line.
Malone said he could not specu-
late on when oil will again flow
through the system under the tem-
porary arrangement. A shutdown
of the eastern leg has kept 200,000
barrel of Prudhoe Bay oil from
going south since early August. A
similar western leg was temporarily
reopened last month with damage
lines bypassed.
BP plans to build 16 miles of new
line next year to replace the tempo-
rary system they now are trying to
cobble together.
Barrett said BP failed to funda-
mentally understand the need for
maintenance of its Alaska North
Slope pipeline, leading to two oil
leaks this year and the discovery of
extensive corrosion.
Singling out BP for criticism,
Barrett said, We do not see condi-
tions like this replicated on other
lines on the North Slope and other
lines in the national pipeline sys-
tem.
BPs top executives, appear-
ing before the Senate Energy and
Natural Resources Committee,
apologized for its pipeline failure
and promised to do better in the
future. Nevertheless, they came
under harsh criticism from senators
across the political spectrum.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., a
staunch supporter of the oil indus-
try that plays a prominent role in
her state, suggested that in light
of the BP incident new legislation
might be needed to require proper
maintenance of the countrys oil
infrastructure.
This is a black eye on BP, Sen.
Pete Domenici, R-N.M., the com-
mittee chairman, told the oil com-
panys executives.

Discussion hosted by fraternity raises awareness about sexual assault
By BEn SmiTh
Rape prevention and awareness
were the focus of a seminar held last
night in the lobby of GSP Hall.
Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity hosted
the discussion as part of a commu-
nity service project. Topics included
what constitutes rape, what steps to
take if one is raped and methods
students can take to avoid danger-
ous situations.
Kristen Abell, sexual violence
education and support services
coordinator at the Emily Taylor
Womens Resource Center, present-
ed the seminar.
She said that it was important to
have programs like this early in the
year because most sexual assaults
on college campuses happen in the
first six weeks of the fall semester
when students are experimenting
with alcohol and sex.
Nearly all the sexual assaults
reported on campus in the last two
years involved alcohol, Abell said.
Fraternity president Zachary
Turner said the two-week com-
munity service project is meant to
inform college students about issues
relating to them.
A lot of students go out and get
drunk and dont really think about
the risks, Turner said.
Katrina Hansen, Arlington,
Texas, senior, said that although she
had received similar advice from
her advisers at GSP-Corbin, this
seminar was a welcome learning
experience.
Its nice to have a refresher,
Hansen said. The last talk they gave
us was really early in the morning.
Hansen said she was pleased that
the seminar detailed what women
can do to protect themselves, such
as staying in groups to use friends
for protection and trusting personal
instincts.
Jordan Brown, Bloomington,
Ind., freshman, also attended the
seminar along with several other
men.
I wanted to support the women
and show them that they arent the
only ones concerned about this,
Brown said.
Last nights seminar was the first
part of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternitys
project. A self-defense lesson at
Premier Martial Arts, 3201 Clinton
Parkway Court, is scheduled for
next Tuesday.
Kappa Alpha Psi started the
community service project last year
after members of the Duke lacrosse
team were charged with the rape of
an exotic dancer.

buyers kept their distance after
the company took a few missteps
during the transition after Blass
death in 2002.
This year, Vollbracht present-
ed an innovative and modern
fall collection, and the company
put Janet Jackson in many of the
pieces over the past few months.
The relationship with Jackson
continued Tuesday as the pop
singer sat in the front row for
Vollbrachts spring show, along
with Sigourney Weaver and most
of the industrys big-name insid-
ers.
Vollbracht presented another
strong line, falling somewhere
between ladylike and sophisti-
cated perfect for the socialites
who have filled their closets with
Bill Blass designs over the years
yet also modern and sexy.
The show opened with a beige
jersey skirt suit that had move-
ment but also the trappings of
tradition. Generally, Vollbrachts
skirts were short and the jackets
were long.
Jersey dresses and gowns also
were strong, especially a brown
Grecian-style dress with a shirred
waist. It was worn with silver
flat sandals, part of Blass new
shoe collection. The shoe that
people will remember, though,
was a patent leather sandal with
a metallic heel.
Betsey Johnson: Betsey
Johnson sent a parade of ruf-
fled, tiered and baby-doll dresses
down the runway, hitting notes
sounded by other designers to a
rock n roll beat.
Yes, a red polka-dot swimsuit
was sexy, as were other outfits,
but she flexed her designer mus-
cles with a baby blue organdy
pintucked blouse and pencil skirt,
a black crepe pleated sheath and
a flirty plaid taffeta bubble dress.
She also paired a black gingham
baby-doll dress with a tuxedo
jacket and a green tweed coat
with a striped linen pinafore.
At the end of her show, a
beaming Johnson introduced her
new granddaughter, Layla, to the
packed-to-the-rafters crowd at
the Bryant Park main tent, fol-
lowed by her customary cart-
wheel down the runway.

Inquiry continues on death
of Anna Nicole Smiths son
JESSICA RoBERTSoN
ASSoCIATEd PRESS
NASSAU, Bahamas Police
investigating the death of Anna
Nicole Smiths 20-year-old son said
they had no evidence that he had
suffered a heart attack or that drugs
were involved.
A hospital official said medical
personnel applied CPR and other
measures for 22 minutes to try to
save Daniel Smith, who was found
unresponsive Sunday in a hospital
room where his mother was recu-
perating from giving birth to a baby
girl three days earlier.
Resuscitative efforts using
advanced life-support protocol
continued for 22 minutes without
response, Barry Rassin, president
and CEO of Doctors Hospital in
Nassau, said at a news conference.
The cause of death remained
under investigation Tuesday.
The Nassau Guardian, citing
unidentified sources, reported
Monday that Daniel Wayne Smith
had died of a heart attack. On
Tuesday, the newspaper reported
that a preliminary investigation
found that Smith had antidepres-
sants in his system. It cited sources
close to the case.
Reginald Ferguson, assis-
tant commissioner of the Royal
Bahamian Police Force, dismissed
the reports. Thats just talk, we have
no evidence at this time to suggest
that, he told The Associated Press,
when asked whether drugs had
contributed to Smiths death.
Earlier, the commissioner told
People magazine that there was
no evidence at this time that the
young man had suffered a heart
attack.
Smith died Sunday after he was
found unresponsive in a chair while
visiting his mother in the hospital.
A funeral home hired by the
family said Tuesday it expected to
receive Smiths body after an autop-
sy is completed.
Once the hospital has released
the remains to our establishment,
we are then able to process all of
the documents for repatriation to
California, said Loretta Butler-
Turner of Butlers Funeral Homes
& Crematoriums.
Police said they were investigat-
ing the death as they would any
other in the Caribbean country, and
they were waiting for a pathologists
report to determine the cause.
It was unclear whether a coroner
had completed the autopsy, or if
police would release the results.
If the family requests that the
information not be given out, then
certainly, I imagine we would do as
they ask, Ferguson said.
The body was identified at the
morgue Monday by Smiths law-
yer, Howard K. Stern, who is also
handling arrangements with the
funeral home, Butler said.
Smith was the product of his
mothers 1985 marriage to Billy
Smith.

COMMENTARY
Grant Snider/KANSAN
Fight the drinking age
while youre still young
At some point, all college stu-
dent ponder the question: Why is
the drinking age 21?
And then they ponder the
validity of the answer: 18-to-
20-year-olds arent responsible
enough to drink. And most
come up with the same response:
Bullshit.
Then what happens? Sometime
in their junior year, these stu-
dents turn 21. They dont have
to ask someone to buy them beer
and they tear up their fakes.
The years add up, and they
forget. Some become lawmakers.
And the drinking age doesnt
seem to be a problem. Maybe
18-to-20-year-olds arent respon-
sible enough to drink after all,
they think. Better to err on the
side of safety.
If the drinking age is to
change, 18-to-20-year-olds must
speak up, before they too turn
21 and forget what a bummer
it is to have that unfair threat
of a Minor in Possession charge
hanging over their heads.
They must fight before they
forget the irony of being deemed
responsible enough to wield a
gun fighting insurgents in Iraq,
but not responsible enough to
pop open a cold one.
Of course, 18-to-20-year-olds
are not the most responsible peo-
ple. But if a student drinks too
much, it is the students fault, not
the bottles.
We live in an age in which laws
are being strengthened to pro-
tect us from both outside forces
and ourselves. We worship the
Great God of Safety and personal
responsibility is dying.
The next time you open a can
of beer, walk away from Monday
Night Football for a few minutes
and write a letter to our lawmak-
ers. It might not hurt to spill a
little on the page, so they can
remember being young.

In response to Alison Kielers
Thursday column, Prohibiting
gay marriage contradicts Americas
principles, the secular humanist
mantra you cant legislate morality
must be exposed for what it is.
Every nation, great or small,
totalitarian regime or democracy,
does and should legislate morality.
The prohibition of murder, to
take the easiest example, finds its
ground in both legality and moral-
ity. Few (though there are some)
would argue that killing another
person is not immoral, but simply
illegal based on some sort of social
contract.
Arguments against the legislation
of moral claims, specifically those
prohibiting gay marriage, tend to
decry the collusion of church (or
religion) and state.
What these polemics fail to
recognize is that the replacement
of our nations historical Christian
humanism with that of the secular-
ist is not removing morality as such
from the picture, but replacing it
with a secularist morality. Like it
or not (and I do not), please call it
what it is.
Marriage began as an institution
of religion, its basis being found in
the biblical book of Genesis (by no
means belonging to a specific reli-
gious denomination). The danger
is not a matter of religious institu-
tions getting in on state affairs, but
quite the opposite.
Adam Lockridge
Lawrence senior
JonBenet Ramsey is dead.
And you know what? I wish she
wasnt. Not because the world is
missing out on what might have
been a remarkable life, but because
rather than getting real journalism
the news media is shoving her down
our throats.
They thought they found her
killer on the other side of the globe,
they brought him back here, he ate
prawn on the flight back, its such
a big deal, one single murder in
Colorado 10 years ago shut up.
No one cares. I dont care. No one
I know cares. And now the irony is
that Im taking up more space over
that same played-out story.
Then again, politics doesnt
really sell, and I think I know why:
because politicians tend to be
unattractive old guys like Donald
Rumsfeld and Hillary Clinton. What
we should do is set up a weekly
drama, with hot young stars like
Chad Michael Murray as Rumsfeld
and Mischa Barton as Clinton.
It would still be boring, but peo-
ple would watch. I know I would,
if only to get my Mischa Barton fix
since they killed off her character
on The O.C. And for those not
interested in pretty faces, every five
minutes well show an explosion or
play rock music.
And why not? Entertainment can
be educational, and education can
be entertaining. Look at The Daily
Show, Bill Maher, and ... well, I
wouldnt call Glenn Beck entertain-
ing, or even watchable, but he tries.
It seems to be only these fringe
political/news outlets that pierce the
national popular media conscious-
ness.
A lot of folks worry that its
watering down what should be
purer news coverage, but Im not
impressed with our so-called bea-
cons of journalistic integrity.
This is Deborah Feyerick on
CNN with a banal string of ques-
tions that add nothing to anyones
view on world affairs: What is the
one word you would use to describe
that day? One word that just sums it
all up? What is the word you would
use today to describe how you feel
now? If theres one thing you could
change from that day, what would
it be?
You know what one thing I
would change about that interview?
The questions. Maybe the inter-
viewer too.
Another bit of nothingness, this
from CNN last Sunday: 10 minutes
of footage from a church holding a
9/11 memorial. Now, I dont object
to coverage of the fifth anniversary,
but this was 10 minutes of hymns,
and second-rate ones at that.
There has got to be better mate-
rial. What have we been doing to
find bin Laden? How is the war in
Afghanistan? How do troops there
feel about the situation? What about
the dust and rubble inhaled by
those at the World Trade Center on
that day? What are the ramifications
of breathing three pounds of dirt?
Look: Im not saying that Jon
Stewart is better than Wolf Blitzer
and his ilk, but I learn more from
his 30-minute show than I do after
watching an hour of CNN or FOX
or MSNBC. So until any of them
ups the ante, Ill be reading the
papers and watching The Daily
Show for my fill of current events.

Jobs are like hot guys or girls.
They are easy to find, hard to get.
You always find that dream job, for
example, apprentice underwater
basket weaver, and you apply right
away. You figure you will get the
job. How could they not hire you?
You have a great GPA, some extra-
curricular activities, good refer-
ences and youve stayed off the sex
offender registry. Then, you get an
interview.
Getting an interview is like when
that hot girl/guy from the bar calls
you the next day. The date/inter-
view goes really well. You hit it off.
Youve got experience. Youre just
what theyre looking for. And yet,
two weeks later, you get a nice post-
card saying the position has been
filled. But thanks for your interest.
Dagnabbit.
My point is that jobs are hard to
get, and so when us college kids are
offered one, well take it no matter
what it is. I applied to many jobs on
campus through the KU job Web
site, jobs.ku.edu. The number of
times I got rejected is higher than I
can count (which is around eight).
Last year, I was complaining to my
homies from McCollum about this
at dinner when I saw a sign on our
table. KU Dining Services asking
me if I wanted a job. Do I want a
job? Does the Pope love Jesus?
So I applied. Basically, the appli-
cation wanted my name, Social
Security number, reference phone
numbers and schedule. I had no
job experience thanks to my over-
achiever status in high school.
And I got hired. How? They knew
jack about me, whereas the online
application for the KU job site was
more involved than the application
I filled out to get accepted into the
University.
I worked at Mrs. Es for about
a year. Then I moved to a scholar-
ship hall at semester and got sick of
commuting up there all the time. So
I left Mrs. Es. Then I had summer
to deal with. During the summer, I
worked at my church cataloging our
entire church library into a com-
puter system.
I thought that with this experi-
ence, and my extensive customer
service experience, KU Libraries
would have to hire me.
And guess where I work now? If
you guessed KU Dining Services,
then youre a genius and will prob-
ably graduate in four years. If you
guessed at Watson Library, then
youre not a genius and will prob-
ably graduate in five years.
KU jobs are great. When campus
is closed, most of the offices and
dining places are closed. Hourly
wages were increased to $7 an
hour, and if youre a student Social
Security and taxes arent taken out
of your paycheck. Plus, I get free
food working for The Market. And,
as a poor college student, Im a
sucker for free food. What frustrates
me is that I am capable of a more
skilled job. A lot of us college kids
are. Wed like jobs that use our abili-
ties and give us experience thats
relevant to our major. And yet the
University and outside companies
thumb their noses at us. Sometimes,
we might not have the experience a
person hiring for a more skilled job
would like, but we cant get experi-
ence until we get a job. College kids
are obviously able to learn or we
wouldnt be here.
But jobs are a Catch-22 situation.
The best advice I can give is if at
first you dont succeed, apply, apply
again.

Steve Sobczak is considered a nontra-
ditional student. At 32 years old, he said it
could be challenging to fit in with the rest
of the students.
Sobczak, Sacramento, Calif., senior,
said that, as a nontraditional student, he
stood out like a sore thumb. He also said
he faced housing issues.
The towers are too expensive, so I
rent rooms, but most traditionals want to
rent to traditionals, which I understand.
Who wants some creepy old guy sharing
their bathroom? Sobczak said.
When Sobczak was 18, he became a
software engineer for the U.S. Marine
Corps.
I stuck with software engineering for
10 years, he said. But then after Bush
took office, the whole field went to hell
with off-shoring and the market collapse.
So I decided to start learning something
of my own choice.
The term nontraditional student
encompasses almost 25 percent of the
University of Kansas students, accord-
ing to Nontraditional Student Services.
By official definition, a nontraditional
student is someone who commutes 10
or more miles to campus, is a parent of
dependent children, is married, is a vet-
eran or is three or more years older than
classmates.
But Sobczak said the definition could
be broader than that. I would simply say
you feel you are, Sobczak said.
Joyce Stevens is the graduate assistant
for Nontraditional Student Programming
at the Student Involvement and Leadership
Center and a nontraditional student her-
self.
In addition to trying to plan events
that support nontrads and bring them
together, I am also a resource for them for
any questions they might have, she said.
While I might not have the answer to
every question I can at
least steer them toward
the person who will.
Stevens said that
the college experience
is similar for nontradi-
tional and traditional
students, but that non-
traditional students
sometimes face addi-
tional obstacles.
They tend to have
the same challenges,
she said. Fitting in,
work, friends, but you
also have the insecurity
of knowing that youre
older, and sometimes
working around a spouse and children.
The University offers services and
support for nontraditional students
both through the Student Involvement
Leadership Center and the Nontraditional
S t u d e n t
Foundation. There
is a monthly news-
letter for nontradi-
tional students and
a variety of events.
U p c o m i n g
events include a
Parents Night
Out on Sept. 29.
The nontraditional
student foundation
will be providing
childcare so that
students with chil-
dren can have a
chance to go out.
Stevens will also
have a table on Jayhawk Boulevard dur-
ing Academic Success Week starting Sept.
25. She will be providing information
for nontraditional students and will have
panelists from the student organizations.
There is also a tailgate party in the works
for Oct. 7.
School is so much more fun and
rewarding when you have people from a
peer group who understand what youre
going through to share it with, Stevens
said.
Sobczak is happy to be experiencing
college life and considers it a refreshing
break.
College is actually a vacation after
youve worked a career job for many years
punching a clock in a cubicle wearing
dress-code clothes, he said.

senior defensive end paul Como celebrates a tackle during the Sept. 2 victory against Northwestern State. Como has gained attention for both his defensive play and his outlandish hairstyle.
Coach Mark Mangino has changed the defense so that Como can play fromdiferent positions on the feld during the same game.
Versatility adds surprise
Rotation allows defensive end to add linebacker to repertoire
By RyAn SchnEidER
For a guy whos among the qui-
etest football players youll ever
meet, Paul Como sure stands out.
He doesnt make a lot of noise
by talking trash or celebrating on
the field. What makes Como stand
out is that loud 80s hair-band look,
not seen since the days of Journey
and Poison.
But now, the senior defensive
end is starting to make a name
for himself, hair and all, on the
football field. In his first season
as a full-time starter, he recorded
10 tackles, including four for a
loss. Como recorded eight of those
tackles in Saturdays victory against
Louisiana-Monroe.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino
said Como, despite the hair, didnt
bring a lot of attention to himself.
I think Paul Como has been a
very underestimated player in our
program, Mangino said. Hes a
steady, solid, dependable player,
week in and week out.
The new wrinkle for Como this
year is his rotation between playing
defensive end and linebacker in
certain defensive packages. Playing
both positions allows Como to
rush the quarterback as a lineman
and drop back in coverage as a
linebacker. Because he usually lines
up as a defensive lineman, the abil-
ity to switch brings an element of
surprise. In some situations, Como
is playing the linebacker position,
but lines up at the line of scrim-
mage, as if he were playing a line
position.
Como said that when he was
approached by Mangino and
defensive coordinator Bill Young
about playing time at both lineman
and linebacker, he would be com-
fortable at both positions.
I think he wanted someone
with a good pass rush and had a
good feel for the defense, he said.
Como moved into the defensive
end position following the gradua-
tion of Brandon Perkins.
The change seems to have paid
off. Como recorded career-highs
for total tackles, assisted tackles
and tackles for a loss in the victory
against ULM.
Mangino said including Comos
switches in some defensive pack-
ages is part of his defense changing
over time.
You must continue to find ways
to utilize your personnel and evolve
so that your defense has different
looks, different types of pressures
and coverages, Mangino said.
Comos size is an important fac-
tor in being able to switch from
defensive end to linebacker. He
played both lineman and tailback
in high school in Murrieta, Calif.
While being recruited by Mangino
out of Saddleback College in
California, Como was a linebacker
player.
Mangino said that because
Como is a thick kid, he might
be able to switch to another posi-
tion, even though he played well at
linebacker.
We thought if he could put
another 10, 12 pounds of lean body
weight on that we could play him
down, and it has worked out very
well, Mangino said.
In his first year at Kansas
last season, Como played in all
12 games on the defensive line,
including one start. He finished
the season with 13 tackles, four of
those for a loss.

Schneider can be contacted at

Jayhawk, Chiefs
fans deal with
rough weekend
basketball
It was a tough weekend for area
football fans.
I started off my Saturday watch-
ing Missouri and Chase Daniel
put on an absolute clinic against
a decent SEC team in Ole Miss.
In case you havent seen Mizzou
play yet this year, ouch. I know
its only two games into the sea-
son, but Chase Daniel is leaps and
bounds ahead of our boy Kerry
Meier right now. The two tight-
end set of Rucker and Coffman
is legit and it has me wondering
why Mark Mangino isnt employ-
ing any Derek Fine and Marc Jones
lineups.
In fact, Derek Fine, the guy
whos going to be a favorite target
of Meier, has one catch for 11
yards so far. Marc Jones, a guy Ive
pumped up and was praised by
coach Mark Mangino at media day,
hasnt even seen a ball thrown his
way unless it was in practice.
With that said, after the Mizzou
romp, the aforementioned Fine/
Jones-less Jayhawks and their less-
than-ordinary secondary were
embarrassed Saturday night by
Sun-Belt power Louisiana-Monroe,
but still came away with a 21-19
victory.
And of course, K-State had to
rout Florida Atlantic 45-0.
The final blow didnt come until
Sunday when the Chiefs took a
beating from Cincinnati and lost
Trent Green in the process. You
thought the Jayhawk offense was
weak? The once powerful Chiefs
offense, one of the best in the
NFL over the last five years, came
to a Robert Geathers-induced halt
Sunday.
Though my two favorite football
teams looked awful on consecutive
days, let me tell my fellow Jayhawk
and Chiefs fans this: dont worry.
First, the Jayhawks. Yeah, the
defense was lit up and the offense
was woeful. Kerry Meier was less
than spectacular and fliers are up
around campus with a reward for
anyone that finds Raymond Browns
pass coverage skills. But the blame
isnt just on Meier and Brown. The
offensive line was weak, the receiv-
ers need to step up, and where is
my Fine/Jones connection?
Concerning the defense, my
Hayden High School homeboy,
Blake Bueltel of Topeka, has to
improve. I know the mans trying
to put on weight, so maybe he can
snack on granola while watching
game film. Its just an idea. Oh,
and a memo to Aqib Talib: You
want to be an impact player? Obey
team rules.
Regardless, Im not worried.
It was game two of the season,
Mangino has yet to open up the
play book and the defense is still
figuring things out. Talib will be
back, and that closes an entire
side of the field. Thats going to
help Bueltels confidence as well
as the rest of the defense. If theres
one thing that can be said about
Mangino, his teams dont quit and
they get better as the season pro-
gresses. Why should this year be
any different? Kansas will edge
Toledo, 24-20.
With the Chiefs, the outlook
isnt as rosy. Trent Green is still try-
ing to figure out what happened,
and Damon Huard is trying to
figure out how to be an NFL quar-
terback. Meanwhile, Larry Johnson
is trying to figure out why Willie
Roaf retired and why the Chiefs
didnt resign Tony Richardson.
Coach Herm Edwards is trying
to figure out how hes going to
make it through this season, and
Chiefs fans are trying to figure out
why the team is running dive plays
on third-and-five on its opponents
11-yard line and settling for field
goals instead of touchdowns.
It could be a very long season
for Kansas City, but I wont con-
cede defeat after week one. The
defense is improved, and a good
defense in any league can keep you
in a game. I know Herm Edwards
is hailed as a master motivator, so
lets see if he can motivate a win in
Denver.

Darrell Arthur, the highly antici-
pated freshman forward, took his
sweet time deciding where to attend
college before ultimately committing
to coach Bill Self and the University
of Kansas last May.
Arthurs mom gave him some
advice before he went to sleep the
night before he made his decision.
She told him to pray hard, and he
did. When Arthur, of South Oak Cliff
High School in Dallas, went to sleep
that night, he had no idea where he
wanted to attend college. But, he had
a dream. When he woke up, he knew
he wanted to attend the University
of Kansas.
When asked if it was typical for
him to make decisions after having
dreams, Arthur said, Not really. He
added that, in addition to the dream,
Self was the reason he decided to
become a Jayhawk.
Coach Self is a good coach, and
hes going to work me real hard,
Arthur said.
Expectations are high for Arthur.
The 6-foot-9, 215-pound freshman is
expected to contribute immediately
to a Jayhawk team that returned its
top two post players in juniors C.J.
Giles and Sasha Kaun. Junior Darnell
Jackson also returned.
Self said the expectations for
Arthur and fellow freshman Sherron
Collins were very high, and allud-
ed to last years freshman class of
Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright and
Brandon Rush.
I think they should have a similar
impact to what Mario, Julian and
Brandon had last year, Self said.
They should definitely impact how
good were going to be this year.
He looks excellent, Chalmers
said of Arthur. Hes working hard,
trying to get better every time.
Chalmers, Arthurs roommate,
said he expected Arthur to be a scor-
er and a slasher, but said it would
ultimately be up to Self.
Arthur said Self told him hed
be a three or four, referring to the
small forward and power forward
positions, a role that Wright filled
last year.
Collins described Arthur as a high
flyer; he plays above the rim. Collins
also said he was going crazy back in
Chicago when he heard Arthur had
signed with the University.
I enjoy him, Collins said,
describing how the two of them had
hung out at the Roundball Classic in
Chicago April 9. I just tried to help
get him here.
Chalmers thought the additions
of Collins and Arthur could help the
team become a national title con-
tender.
Chalmers said that the two made
the Jayhawks a more athletic team.
Self said if they do what theyre
supposed to do, the Jayhawks would
put themselves in a position to play
for higher stakes this season.
I think this is a team that can get
Kansas hopefully back amongst the
top five or 10 teams in the country,
Self said.

Former Jayhawk quarterback
Mario Kinsey is still playing sports,
but the Texas native has traded in
cleats for sneakers, pads for shorts
and gridiron for hardwood.
As basketball season inches clos-
er, Kinsey is practicing as a guard for
the Waco Wranglers, an American
Basketball Association expansion
team in Waco, Texas.
I feel we are going to have a
pretty good team, good franchise,
and I feel we have a chance to go far
in the playoffs, Kinsey said.
While the Wranglers are hoping
Kinsey can be one of their go-to
players, Mario is looking at what this
experience can do for him.
I look at this as a stepping stone
to where I am trying to go, either
overseas or a tryout with an NBA
team, whichever one comes first,
Kinsey said.
He said his career in basketball
might not have happened if he had
stayed at Kansas, instead of leaving
after his freshman year.
I think if I would have stayed, I
would have had a shot at pro foot-
ball, Kinsey said. But basketball is
my love, so I have no regrets.
He arrived at Kansas in Fall 2000
and was touted as the hotshot quar-
terback who was going to turn the
program around.
We thought he was going to be
the next Mark Williams, said Dylan
Smith, Kinseys teammate and fellow
quarterback, said.
Kinsey tried to play for the bas-
ketball team in the winter of 2000,
but decided it was best to focus on
his grades and football.
He finally got his chance to lead
the football team in 2001, but battled
former quarterback Zach Dyer to be
the starter all year. The team finished
only 3-8.
The low point of the season
for Kinsey was when he and fel-
low teammate Reggie Duncan were
arrested and suspended from the
first game for stealing Miss Kansas
USAs credit card and ordering pizza
with it. Kinsey said that experience
changed him, though.
You learn from your mistakes
and I felt that made me a better per-
son as far as decision making and the
crowd that you are with, he said.
The following spring marked a
new era in KU football, as new coach
Mark Mangino and quarterback Bill
Whitmore arrived on campus. It also
meant the end of football for Mario
Kinsey, who Mangino dismissed
from the team for violating athletics
department policies. He transferred
to Sam Houston State and decided to
end his football career and focus full
time on basketball.
I had the opportunity to choose
between football and basketball, and
I had already experienced trying to
play both sports, but basketball was
just what I had in my heart, and it is
just what I loved to do, he said.
Being back in Texas not only
meant playing his favorite sport
again, but also being back with his
family.
It helped me a lot, just having
somebody to talk to, not just over the
phone, but somebody I could have
deep conversations with if something
was bothering me, Kinsey said.
Kinsey is in a different state now,
playing a different sport, and he
doesnt harbor any bad feelings
against Mangino.
I think it has been the right deci-
sion for the program to bring him in
to coach, he said.
For now, Kinsey is preparing for
the Waco Wranglers first preseason
game, which is less than a month
away, and is just happy to be playing
the game he loves.

Were still recovering from the
week-one action, but relaxation is
for the teams who wont make the
playoffs.
If you drafted Shaun Alexander,
Cadillac Williams or LaMont Jordan
in round one, dont panic.
Week-one results make poor indi-
cators of what will transpire later in
the year. Last year, Shaun Alexander
opened the year with just 73 total
yards and no touchdowns. He went
on to rush for 1,880 yards and 27
touchdowns.
Even though an out-of-control
Robert Geathers harpooned Trent
Green on Sunday, I cant recommend
the addition of Damon Huard.
Huard (12-20, 140 yards and a
touchdown) actually looked halfway
competent against the Bengals. Hell
also reportedly get at least two starts
for a solid offense, but as a die-hard
Chiefs fan, I dont think it would feel
right. It would feel like cheating on
a girlfriend, or at least making out
with a buddys girlfriend. Get well
soon, Trent.
On to this weeks adds:
1) Chad Pennington, quarterback,
New York Jets. If you drafted Drew
Bledsoe, dont trampoline yourself
into a moving ceiling fan just yet.
Pennington is still available in many
leagues. He went 24-33 for 319 yards
with two touchdowns last week. It
was against a soft Tennessee defense,
but he goes against a just-as-soft
New England pass defense (an inju-
ry-plagued 31st in the league last
year) in week two. Lets just hope his
surgically repaired shoulder, which is
being held together by chewing gum
and a rubber band, stays intact.
2) St. Louis Defense. The Rams
went out in the offseason and
beefed up their defense with LaRoi
Glover, Corey Chavous and Will
Witherspoon. That trio combined
for 14 tackles, a pick and a forced
fumble in a victory against Denver.
This week, the team is up against San
Francisco. Congrats to Alex Smith,
Frank Gore and the rest of the gang
for actually putting up decent num-
bers in a loss to Arizona. Despite
that, lets make the 49er offense prove
to us one more time that theyre for
real. Something tells me picking up
the St. Louis defense will get you
double-digit points.
3) Marion Barber, running back,
Dallas Cowboys. Barber owners
have been dropping him like its hot
for the past few days after watching
him get just three carries. His coun-
terpart, Julius Jones, got 17. Like
another former Minnesota Golden
Gopher, Laurence Maroney, Barber
is just waiting for his big break.
Barber and Maroney are both more
talented than the players they sit
behind on the depth chart (Jones
and Corey Dillon, respectively).
Barber will get the goal-line carries
now, and once coach Bill Parcells
(whose man-boobs are now rivaling
those of Peter Griffin) tires of the
oft-injured Julius Jones, he will get
the starts later.
4) Jay Cutler, quarterback, Denver
Broncos. Jake Plummer (who, now
that he trimmed his mustache, will
no longer be appearing in a porn
theatre near you) mailed in his
week one performance against the
Rams, taking four sacks and throw-
ing for just 138 yards with three
interceptions. He doesnt seem to
be responding well to being without
former offensive coordinator Gary
Kubiak, who left to be coach for the
Houston Texans.
Plummer, who was once seen
shooting the bird to his hometown
fans, has never been known as a
fan favorite, and should be on a
very short leash. Should Coach Mike
Shanahan, who holds that leash,
turn to Cutler, the rookie out of
Vanderbilt should hold great value
in the fantasy world down the road.
5) Damon Huard, quarterback,
Kansas City Chiefs. OK, fine, I
couldnt help myself. I feel so dirty.
I would have picked him up myself,
but sports editor Michael Phillips,
who I play this week, beat me to it.
Youre going down, Michael.

The Jayhawk volleyball team (7-
2) will be the undisputed underdogs
when they begin conference play
against the top-ranked Cornhuskers
(7-0) at 7 tonight in Lincoln, Neb.
Kansas, however, will try to use that
to their advantage.
Theyre No. 1 in the country,
they have to play well, Jana Correa,
senior outside hitter, said. We just
need to go out there and play hard
and play strong.
Nebraska is traditionally known
for impressive football crowds,
but the volleyball venue, Nebraska
Coliseum, also sells out and draws
in 4,030 fans.
Sometimes playing in front of
that crowd, with that ranking, it may
put some more pressure on them,
coach Ray Bechard said. We go in
relaxed, and can be very aggressive,
so hopefully we can have a good
outcome.
Last season, Kansas lost both
conference matches to Nebraska.
In Lincoln, the Huskers swept the
Jayhawks. At home, Kansas lost 3-1
to Nebraska.
According to the Kansas media
guide, Kansas has a 1-75-1 all-
time record against Nebraska. The
Nebraska media guide has the
Huskers a perfect 76-0 against the
Jayhawks.
Regardless of the record books, a
Kansas win is about as rare as some-
one wearing Zubaz. The Jayhawks
have never won a match in Lincoln.
Last season, Nebraska won the
Big 12 conference and advanced to
the NCAA tournament before los-
ing in the National Championship
match to Washington.
I think theyre disappointed to
be the national runner-up last year,
so Im sure theyre going to be high
octane, Bechard said.
Both teams come into tonights
match after winning their home
tournaments. The Jayhawks won
the Jayhawk Classic with a sweep
over then-No. 16 Brigham Young
and despite a five-game loss to
Arkansas. Nebraska defeated Cal
Poly, Louisville and Minnesota over
the weekend to win the Ameritas
Players Challenge in Lincoln.
Nebraska junior Sarah Pavan,
right side hitter, led the Huskers to
the title and earned MVP honors.
On Monday, she was named Big 12
Player of the Week.
Kansas junior Emily Brown, right
side hitter, continues to lead the
team with 5.25 kills per game and
four double-doubles this season.
The Jayhawks will face No. 5
Texas at home on Saturday. The
game will be at 7 p.m. in the Horejsi
Family Athletics Center. Fans will
receive a Jayhawk rally towel and
admission is free for students with a
valid KUID.

soccer
Jayhawks ranked for frst
time since last season
The Kansas soccer team
has entered the Top 25 in two
soccer rankings. The Jayhawks
are ranked No. 18 in the Soccer
America poll and No. 20 in the
Soccer Times poll.
Victories this weekend
against Alabama and No. 12
Duke helped catapult Kansas
(4-1-0) into the rankings. The
Jayhawks beat the Crimson Tide
on Friday and came back to
beat the Blue Devils 4-3 with a
game winner in the last minute.
Kansas only loss this season
came against nationally-ranked
California.
This is the frst time the Jay-
hawks have been ranked since
Oct. 31 of last season.
Its a nice honor for the team
after how we played last week-
end, Kansas coach Mark Francis
said in a press release. As long as
we keep producing results on the
feld, the rankings should take
care of themselves.

Philadelphia receives boost from quarterback against Houston
international
4th Military World Games
to be in India next year
WASHINGTON An organiza-
tion that aims to use sports to fos-
ter friendship between the worlds
militaries and nations will hold its
global games in India next year.
The 4th Military World Games
will be in Hyderabad, India, in the
fall of 2007, Brig. Gen. Gianni Gola
of Italy said Tuesday. Gola heads
the International Military Sports
Council, a group that was founded
in 1948 and holds frequent
regional competitions among
athletes from the worlds armed
forces and a worldwide contest.
Previously, European sites were
used for the games, which are
held once every four years.
The competitions include doz-
ens of regular civilian sports such
as football and track and feld,
as well as military sports like
a pentathlon that tests shooting
skills.
Gola was visiting Virginia this
week for a seminar on sports in
the military and said another
one on sport and peace is
planned in the coming months on
the Ivory Coast.
They still have confict, but
we decided to go there and to try
to send a message,Gola told a
group of reporters in the Penta-
gon. Maybe we cannot do more,
but at least we can send a mes-
sage: Sport can help and in some
cases sport is the unique tool that
we have in our hands.
The council held the frst
worldwide event in 1995 to cel-
ebrate the 50th anniversary of the
end of World War II. The last one
brought thousands of athletes
from 84 countries to Italy in 2003.
The council has 127 member
countries and the only one ever
barred from games was Iraq af-
ter Saddam Husseins forces invad-
ed Kuwait. The suspension, lasting
from 1990 to 2003, was lifted
after Saddam was overthrown by
the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Iraqi
military athletes began attending
competitions once again, entering
a cross-country contest in March
in Tunisia, Gola said.

PHILADELPHIA Donovan
McNabb led the Eagles to three NFC
championship games before Terrell
Owens came to Philadelphia. He can
do it again without the talented-but-
troublesome receiver.
Now that he can focus on football
instead of feuding with T.O. and
playing through pain, McNabb looks
more like the quarterback who went
to five straight Pro Bowls and took
his team to the playoffs each of those
seasons.
In Philadelphias opening 24-10
victory at Houston, McNabb com-
pleted 24 of 35 passes for 314 yards,
three touchdowns and one intercep-
tion in his first regular-season game
since having surgery for a sports
hernia last November.
Sure, those numbers came against
the lowly Texans. However, McNabb
was sharp throughout the preseason
and his strong performance is a clear
sign he and the rest of the team have
put last years misery in the past.
It was kind of a joy to get back
out on the field and see guys kind
of smiling, laughing, pushing each
other, motivating each other,
McNabb said.
Last year, some of those smiles
were forced, there wasnt much to joke
about, and pushing came through
a locker-room altercation between
Owens and former player turned
team ambassador Hugh Douglas.
A combination of injuries to
several starters and the T.O. fias-
co plunged the Eagles to 6-10 a
year after falling just three points
short in the Super Bowl against New
England.
While many so-called experts
predicted another last-place finish
in a tough NFC East, the Eagles
retooled not rebuilt their ros-
ter and set out to prove they still
belong among the elite teams in the
conference.
Though its only one game in a
long season, the rest of the divi-
sion rivals lost their openers and are
looking up at Philadelphia. A victory
over the New York Giants this week
could go a long way toward helping
the Eagles accomplish their goal of
going from worst to first.
Theyve had a great attitude from
the first minicamp on, coach Andy
Reid said. They have done every-
thing Ive asked. They came out and
they played their hearts out and did
a nice job. But they also understand
that it is one out of 16 here, that we
have to continue to go. Weve got a
real good team coming in this week.
We have to be better than what we
were this past week so we can get
ready for the Giants.
McNabb is the key to Philadelphias
success. With him, the Eagles are 68-
33, including playoffs. They were
2-5 in the seven games he missed
last year.
With T.O. gone, the pressure again
is on McNabb to be the man. But hes
shown he can have outstanding sea-
sons with lousy receivers (Charles
Johnson, Torrance Small) and medi-
ocre ones (Todd Pinkston, James
Thrash). Theres no reason he cant
win with a solid group of wideouts
that includes Donte Stallworth and
Reggie Brown.
Stallworth had six catches for 141
yards and one TD in his debut with
the Eagles. He probably wont post
Owens-like stats, but Stallworth isnt
selfish, petulant and disruptive, either.
Hes already been dubbed the anti-
T.O. because his No. 18 is opposite
Owens No. 81, he has an excellent
working relationship with McNabb
and he doesnt cause problems.
Reid talked to former Saints
coach Jim Haslett before acquiring
Stallworth to make sure he was add-
ing a quality-character player.
Jim told me how good he was,
Reid said. We were expecting to get
a good football player.
If McNabb and fragile run-
ning backs Brian Westbrook and
Correll Buckhalter stay healthy and
Stallworth and Brown continue to
progress, the offense could equal
or even surpass its level of 2004.
The Eagles averaged 351.1 yards and
24.1 points per game en route to the
Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, the defense has
a chance to be dominant again.
Coordinator Jim Johnson likes the
depth on the line so much he alter-
nated the four starters and the four
backups each series against Houston.
The result was four sacks from the
line. The Texans managed only 241
total yards.
Not in my eight years in the
NFL, four years in college and four
years in high school, you just dont
do this kind of thing, but it worked
out for us, said end Jevon Kearse,
who had one of the sacks.
From the ball boys to the players
to the coaches to the front office,
everyone in the organization believed
last year was merely an aberration
caused by too many injuries and too
much turmoil.
Now that the important players
are healthy and team harmony has
been restored because you-know-
who took his act to Dallas, the Eagles
have a legitimate chance to play
beyond January.
If not, they cant blame T.O. any-
more.

Editors note: The Jayhawks open
the Big 12 volleyball season tonight
when they travel to Lincoln, Neb.,
to take on the Cornhuskers. Kansan
writer Jeff Deters previewed the Big 12
in advance of the season. Oklahoma
State does not field a team.
Nebraska
2005 record: (33-2, 19-1)
Key players: Nebraska is led
by preseason All-Big 12 selections
junior outside hitter Sarah Pavan
and sophomore outside hitter
Jordan Larson. Pavan was named
Big 12 Player of the Year in 2005
and is expected to repeat that honor
again this year. Larson was named
Honorable Mention All-Big 12 and
Big 12 Freshman of the Year after
leading all Big 12 freshmen in kills,
digs and hitting percentage.
2006 outlook: The Cornhuskers
won the Big 12 Championship for the
eighth time last season and were last
years NCAA runner-up. Nebraska
is the top team in the Big 12 and
the No. 1 ranked team in the nation.
They have their sights set on another
conference title and a return trip
to the national championship game.
They open conference play tonight
at 7 p.m. in Lincoln, Neb., against the
Kansas Jayhawks.
Texas
2005 record: (24-5, 17-3)
Key players: If the Longhorns
want to overtake Nebraska in the
conference, they will need big per-
formances from senior outside hit-
ter Dariam Acevedo, senior middle
blocker Brandy Magee and junior
middle blocker Leticia Armstrong.
All three were selected to the pre-
season All-Big 12 team and combine
to form as talented a trio as there is
in the Big 12.
2006 outlook: The Longhorns
are talented enough to challenge
Nebraska for the league title and
will play the Jayhawks at 7 p.m.
this Saturday at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center.
Missouri
2005 record: (25-5, 16-4)
Key players: Senior outside hitter
Jessica Vander Kooi leads the Tigers
attack. Vander Kooi, a two-time all-
conference performer, was named
to this years preseason conference
team as well.
2006 outlook: The Tigers finished
third in the conference last year and
are picked to do the same this year.
The Tigers and Jayhawks will play
Oct. 4 in Columbia, Mo., and at the
Horejsi Center on Nov. 18.
Kansas State
2005 record: (21-11, 11-9)
Key players: The Wildcats leader
is senior captain and outside hitter
Sandy Werner. Last season Werner
ranked 11th in the Big 12 in total
kills.
2006 outlook: The Wildcats
defeated No. 23 ranked Notre Dame
at the UNI Invitational last week
and are now ranked in the Top 25.
The Wildcats and Jayhawks split the
series 1-1 last year, each winning
on the others home floor. The two
teams will continue their rivalry Oct.
11 at the Horejsi Center and Nov. 25
in Manhattan, Kan.
Texas A&M
2005 record: (16-14, 9-11)
Key players: Senior middle block-
er/outside hitter Christi Hahn is the
only senior on the team. Hahn is a
preseason All-Big 12 pick and has
been a two-year starter.
2006 outlook: The Aggies will
try to reach the upper division of the
Big 12, but will likely remain in the
middle of the pack. The Aggies and
Jayhawks split the season series last
year and the two teams will play Sept.
20 at the Horejsi Center and Oct. 21
in College Station, Texas.
Colorado
2005 record: (15-13, 10-10)
Key players: Senior setter hit-
ter Ashley Nuu finished third in
the conference in assists per game
(13.16) and was an honorable men-
tion All-Big 12 pick in 2005.
2006 outlook: The Buffaloes will
look to improve their 10-10 record
in conference play last year and make
it past the first-round of the NCAA
Tournament for the first time in three
years. The Buffaloes will play the
Jayhawks Sept. 23 in Boulder, Colo.
Kansas
2005 record: (15-15, 7-13)
Key players: Junior right side hit-
ter/setter Emily Brown and senior
outside hitter Jana Correa lead the
Jayhawks. Brown was named to the
preseason All-Big 12 team this year
and has no doubt played to that
level. Along with Brown, Correa has
displayed the talent and leadership
qualities needed to be an all-confer-
ence player. Correas performance in
the Temple Classic earned her the
tournament MVP title.
2006 outlook: Following a disap-
pointing 2005 season, the Jayhawks
are picked to finish seventh in the Big
12. But after going 7-2 through the
non-conference schedule, and earn-
ing tournament victories and a sweep
against No. 16 ranked BYU, Kansas
enters conference play with a lot of
momentum. Kansas is not as talented
as Texas or Nebraska, but dont be
surprised if it finishes the season as
one of the top four teams in the league
and plays in the NCAA Tournament
for the fourth year in a row.
Iowa State
2005 record: (16-15, 9-11)
Key players: Junior middle block-
er Erin Boeve broke the Cyclones
season record for block assists last
year with 155. Boeve was named All-
Big 12 Honorable Mention in 2005.
2006 outlook: The Cyclones will
look to build upon their first winning
season in more than 10 years and will
try to make the NCAA Tournament
for just the second time in school his-
tory. The Cyclones and Jayhawks will
play Sept. 30 at the Horejsi Center
and Nov. 4 in Ames, Iowa.
Baylor
2005 record: (15-17, 6-14)
er Desiree Guilliard-Young broke the
school record last year by averaging
1.85 blocks per game. She is a pre-
season Big 12 pick this year and was
Big 12 Honorable Mention last year
as a sophomore.
2006 outlook: Baylor has won
nine games in a row and opens con-
ference play tonight against K-State.
The Bears are scheduled to play
the Jayhawks Oct. 14 at the Horejsi
Center and Nov. 15 in Waco, Texas.
Oklahoma
2005 record: (7-22, 2-18)
er Eliane Santos led the Sooners
in blocks and kills last year. Santos
set the Oklahoma season record in
blocks per game, solo blocks and
block assists.
2006 outlook: The Sooners are
picked to finish second to last in
the league but head into conference
play with an 8-2 record. The Sooners
lost both games last year against the
Jayhawks and will look for revenge
when the two teams play Oct. 7
in Norman, Okla., and Oct. 25 in
Lawrence.
Texas Tech
2005 record: (11-20, 6-14)
Key players: 2005 Big 12
Newcomer of the Year Philister Sang
leads the Red Raiders. The senior
outside hitter ranked third in the
conference in kills last year and had
21 kills in a game last year against
Kansas.
2006 outlook: Texas Tech fin-
ished 10th in the league last year
and will struggle to climb out of
the conference cellar this year. The
Red Raiders and Jayhawks split the
season series last year and the two
teams are scheduled to play Sept. 27
in Lubbock, Texas and Oct. 28 at the
Horejsi Center.

Chiefs quarterback
receives two weeks
to heal from injury
sOrAyA NADIA
McDONALD
AssOcIAteD Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Even
Lia Edwards is beginning to think
that wherever her husband goes,
something bad happens to quar-
terbacks.
Last year, Chad Pennington
lasted only three games, and by
the end of the season, coach Herm
Edwards had played five differ-
ent New York Jets quarterbacks,
and the Jets had finished a dismal
4-12.
This season, Edwards first in
Kansas City, Trent Green lasted
less than three quarters before sus-
taining a severe concussion that
landed him in the hospital for two
nights.
Before Edwards arrived, Green
had been an NFL ironman, start-
ing 81 straight games.
She said, Before you married
me, in that life you were living, you
did something bad to somebody,
Edwards quipped Tuesday.
Edwards said Green would go
home from the hospital Tuesday
afternoon but would definitely not
play against Denver on Sunday. Its
uncertain when hell play again,
Edwards said.
Edwards said the two-time Pro
Bowl quarterback was in good spir-
its.
If it was up to Trent, knowing
him and the kind of guy he is, hed
show up tomorrow, Edwards said.
Hed show up tomorrow, and hed
go into meetings, and hed be whis-
pering in my ear saying, Coach,
you know by Friday Ill be ready
to go.
Green was knocked unconscious
and hospitalized after his head
slammed into the ground on a hit
by Cincinnatis Robert Geathers in
Kansas Citys home opener. He sus-
tained what the Chiefs described
as a severe concussion and will
have at least two weeks to recover
because Kansas City has a bye after
the Denver game.
But if it takes longer, Edwards
promises to understand.
In life, he said, what we do is
in the toy department.
Meanwhile, the focus has shift-
ed to Damon Huard, who replaced
Green in the third quarter of Kansas
Citys 23-10 loss to the Bengals and
completed 12 of 20 passes for 140
yards and a touchdown.
The connection to Tony
Gonzalez was the first touch-
down pass Huard had completed
since he threw one for Miami at
Indianapolis on Nov. 26, 2000.
Edwards also is preparing to
defend against Denvers famously
tricky bootlegs.
The Chiefs havent won in
Denver in five years, and the
Broncos bootleg always seems to
vex them.
It looks, to the spectator and
to everyone that views it, Whats
so hard about that play? Why
cant they stop it? said Edwards,
who explained exactly whats so
hard about it, complete with hand
motions. The only thing missing
was a chalkboard filled with Xs
and Os.
Part of the challenge, Edwards
said, is how well the Broncos run
the football.
The key to tripping them up is
having defenders who can keep
up.
Another worry will be protect-
ing Huard. Kansas Citys offensive
line allowed seven sacks against the
Bengals, which Edwards blamed
on too much passing and anemic
first down yardage.
But he bristled at the suggestion
that hes too conservative and will
rein-in the high-strung offense he
inherited from Dick Vermeil.
If the people went to watch the
Kansas City Chiefs play, thats the
same offense they watched for the
last five years, Edwards said.
As far as Sundays game, he said:
Shifts, motion we threw the
ball more than we ran it, which I
hate, because generally when you
do that youre going to lose the
game.
Meanwhile, both Edwards and
general manager Carl Peterson said
they didnt know anything about a
news conference retired left tackle
Willie Roaf is planning to hold
Thursday.
Edwards shrugged, joking that
perhaps the 11-time Pro Bowler
who retired so abruptly was in
town for some barbecue.

TAurus (April 20-May 20)

more things for your family. Youre
good at this.

GeMini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 7
The more chores you get checked of

know. So, cheerfully keep chugging
away. This game never ends, so enjoy it.
CAnCer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 6
Youre in a pretty good mood, but ev-

whos lost objectivity. Postpone an
outing to provide support.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 7
You love to have the fnest things that
your money will buy. You dont have
to pay more than others do for it,
however. Thats not good business.

VirGo (Aug. 23-sept. 22)
Today is a 7
Others might get giddy with success.
Dont fall for that trick. Dont let your
teammates forget the objective, ei-
ther. You can still fail, if you get sloppy.

LibrA (sept. 23-oct. 22)
Today is an 8
Accept the applause, but dont let it go
to your head, that would be a mistake.
It could also get in the way of express-
ing your talent, and that can be tragic.

sCorpio (oct. 23-nov. 21)
Today is a 6
Youre not one to hold a grudge for
long, you have other things to do. So,
pay back a debt you owe, and then
you can get on with your life.

sAGiTTArius (nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 7
Dont get stuck in repeating a proce-
dure that doesnt work. Ask for input
from others and listen to your own
imagination.

CApriCorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8
Pay more attention to business now,
things are starting to move quickly. It
would be easy to make a mistake, so
guard carefully against that.

AquArius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 8
Some people may think youre radical,
but youre actually quite cautious. You
like to play exciting games, but you
sure dont like to lose. Make careful
plans now.
pisCes (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 7
Its always good to have enough on
hand for emergencies. Dont expect
somebody else to do it for you, but
you can look out for the others.
