Malott Hall, Wescoe Hall, Lindley

Hall and the Military Science
Building were some of the stops the
Kansas Board of Regents and sev-
eral Kansas legislators made while
touring the University of Kansas on
Thursday to discuss deferred main-
tenance funding.
The Board of Regents invited
about 20 state legislators and candi-
dates to tour the campus.
Jim Modig, director of design
and construction management at
the University, said the University
estimated that there was more than
$237 million in deferred mainte-
nance backlog on KU campuses in
Lawrence and Kansas City, Kan.,
from payments deferred by the state
because of lack of funding.
The University estimated it need-
ed $74 million each year to prevent
further backlog.
The total maintenance backlog
for the state is estimated to be $584
million.
During a presentation before the
tour, Board of Regents President
Reggie Robinson said the decrease
in state university funding increased
the burden of hard-working students
and their families through increased
tuition costs.
Modig said there werent any
issues that were immediately life-
threatening on campus, but prob-
lems that could turn into life-
threatening issues needed to be
addressed.
Modig said that more than 11
percent of the 16,000 feet of tun-
nel that runs beneath the campus
needed to be repaired or replaced.
He said this would cost about $8.8
million.
Modig said Learned Hall and
several other roofs on campus also
needed to be replaced or repaired.
The original proposal for roof
replacement included funding for
seven to eight roof replacements
each year. Instead, the University
received funding for two to three
roof replacements per year because
of a budget shortfall.
The Kansas Board of Regents gov-
erns the six state universities. These
maintenance tours are being held at
each state university.
Weve heard about it and heard
about it, but seeing it and getting a
visual really puts it in perspective,
said Rep. Ray Merrick (R-Stilwell),
Kansas House Speaker Pro Tem.
The longer we delay it, the worse
itll get.
Merrick said he thought the tour
would make a difference in state
funding.
Modig said that if the legislature
approved the Regents funding pack-
age for University maintenance next
year, it would probably be Jan. 1,
2008, before work was started.

Governor race
tackles topic
of education
greek Life
candidates for governor
kramer Barnett sebelius Ranzau
By erin CAStAnedA
Higher education and illegal
immigration are hot topics in this
years governor
race, featuring
De mo c r at i c
i n c u mb e n t
K a t h l e e n
Sebelius with
Re pu b l i c a n
Jim Barnett,
Li b e r t a r i a n
Carl Kramer
and Richard
Ranzau on the
Reform ballot
as challengers.
Higher education
In May, Governor Sebelius
signed into law the three-year, $466
million school-finance plan. She
said the cost to educate students
was rising along with the need
for technology in the classrooms.
But students are better prepared
and more marketable to get jobs
upon graduation, she said, citing
the states 4.1 percent decline in
unemployment as proof.
We must look for ways to bring
more money to our schools, she
said. Our economy is strong and
getting stronger every day. This
will allow for more opportunities
in the future to invest more state
resources in Kansas universities.
For state
s e n a t o r
Barnett, high-
er education
is an under-
a d d r e s s e d
issue. He dis-
agreed with
S e b e l i u s
approval of the
school finance
bill. He had
proposed an
annual 2.5 per-
cent increase
for the regents institutions, he said.
With the millions allocated now,
he proposed spreading it out for
K-12 education during four years,
allowing for tax cuts and more
money for higher education.
He said everything else was left
out when the state Supreme Court
mandated money for K-12. He
disagreed with the state Supreme
Courts involvement in school bud-
gets and didnt want them to have
control of it.
Housing controversy surrounds sorority
Kansan fle photo
Members of the alpha Gamma delta sorority currently reside in the Sigma Nu house, 1501
Sigma Nu Place, after Sigma Nu lost its charter last year. However, AGD could have to vacate the house
when its lease ends in July if the fraternity repossesses the house.
Members face accusations of keeping information from potential members
We must look for ways to bring

Initiation is two days away for new
members of Alpha Gamma Delta,
but the sorority is facing allegations
of members withholding information
and uncertainty over where sorority
members will live next school year.
A KU sophomore with knowl-
edge of the sorority, who asked that
her name not be used, said mem-
bers of AGDs executive council
told upperclass members Monday
not to reveal to freshmen that it
was highly probable the sorority
would not be living in the Sigma Nu
house, 1501 Sigma Nu Place, where
it currently resides, next school
year. Tat information was only to
be distributed to freshmen afer ini-
tiation, the sophomore said.
Debbie Pitts, chapter advisor of
Alpha Gamma Delta, denied that
the executive council made such a
suggestion.
Ive asked the members of the
council point blank, and they said
no, she said. And I believe them.
In the greek community, it is not
uncommon for certain information
to be kept from new members until
afer they are initiated.
Alison Woodward, Leawood
freshman and an AGD pledge, said
she knew of an order not to say any-
thing to freshmen afer hearing it
from an upperclassman in passing.
According to an AGD junior,
who did not wish to be named be-
cause AGD rules prohibit mem-
bers from talking to the media and
asked that this story not be printed
out of a fear of hurt feelings, said
the freshmen were alerted Tuesday
night instead of afer initiation
about the potential housing di-
lemma afer word of this story was
brought to the sororitys attention
Tuesday morning.
Te KU sophomore also said that
Kelly Reynolds, president of Alpha
Gamma Delta, told upperclassmen
not to mention anything about the
construction of the sororitys new
house unless asked specifcally by
a prospective member. Reynolds
acknowledges she told members, if
asked, to say that the sorority was
waiting on bank loans and con-
struction was to begin immediately
once the loans were secured.
In July 2001 the sorority pur-
chased land west of the current
Sigma Nu house for a new building,
but is still waiting to break ground.

Kansas journalist, alumnus dies at 86
Former chairman, president of communications company struggled with cancer
ObituaRy
by nate mcGInnIs
Renowned Kansas journalist,
KU graduate and major donor to
the School of Journalism, Stanley H.
Stauffer, died Thursday at a hospice
house in Topeka. He was 86 years old.
Stauffer, former general manager
of The Topeka Capital-Journal and
former chairman and president of
Stauffer Communications Inc., had
been battling cancer but had remained
active on the editorial board of The
Capital-Journal despite his illness.
Even in these last weeks when
Stan was in poor physical health,
he made every effort that he could
to make it to his office here at
The Capital-Journal and the edi-
torial board meetings, said Mark
Nusbaum, Capital-Journal publisher.
The journey from the parking lot to
the front door of the building was
long and tedious, but Stan fought the
good battle to the very end.
Stauffer, a 1942 graduate and KU
alumnus of the School of Journalism,
began a career in journalism after
serving as a flight instructor and photo
reconnaissance pilot in the Army Air
Force.
In 1946, Stauffer began working
as a journalist at the Topeka State
Journal. He went on to work for
several other news outlets, including
the Santa Maria (Calif.) Times, The
Denver Post and the Denver bureau
of the Associated Press. He returned
to Topeka in 1955 as an executive
with Stauffer Communications.
The Stauffer family has a long
history of financial support to the
Universitys journalism program.
Stauffer-Flint Hall is named in part
for Oscar Stauffer, Stans father, who
donated $1 million for a complete
renovation of the building. In 2002,
Stan Stauffer and his wife, Madeline,
provided financial support to cre-
ate the Stan and Madeline Stauffer
Multimedia Newsroom in the Dole
Human Development Center.
Rick Musser, professor of journal-
ism, described Stauffer as a gentle-
man with an upbeat edge who was
an important part of the schools
history. He remembered meeting
with Stauffer at the dedication of the
multimedia newsroom. Musser, who
builds model airplanes as a hobby,
had a model P-38 in his office, the
same type of plane Stauffer had
flown in World War II. Musser gave
Stauffer the model and at another
meeting, Stauffer presented Musser
with a copy of the certificate that
Stauffer received after completing
training on the plane. Musser still
has the certificate in his office.
Musser was at work on another
model plane, a P-39, that Stauffer
also flew. He had planned to give
Stauffer the model, but did not com-
plete it before his death.
Ann Brill, dean of journalism,
described Stauffer as a person fasci-
nated by journalism with a good sense
of humor. She said he was a fixture in
the school for many years, serving as
a trustee of the William Allen White
Foundation Board for many years.
He was very forward-looking,
especially for someone of his genera-
tion, Brill said.
Stauffer is survived by his wife and
five children from previous marriages
Peter W. Stauffer, of Topeka; Clay
W. Stauffer, of Holland, Mich.; Charles
S. Stauffer, of Solvang, Calif.; Betsy
Leonard, of Vancouver, Wash.; and
Grant S. Stauffer, of Columbia, Mo. He
also leaves a brother, John H. Stauffer,
of Topeka, and 11 grandchildren.
A funeral service will be at 10 a.m.
on Nov. 9 at Topekas Grace Episcopal
Cathedral. Private family interment
will be at Mount Hope Cemetery.

Rachel Hineman is one of many
students working to get more stu-
dents interested in the Spencer
Museum of Art.
Its a great resource and a great
place to go, Hineman, Dallas senior,
said. A lot of people dont seem to
like the idea of going to a museum,
but they dont realize just how much
Spencer has to offer.
Hineman works for the art muse-
ums Student Advisory Board. The
board is responsible for events such
as a free party and bus trip to the
Kemper Museum of Contemporary
Art in Kansas City, Mo., today.
Kristina Mitchell, the museums
education director who oversees the
Student Advisory Board, said one of
the groups goals was to take away
the perception of the institution as
strictly formal, and to make students
recognize the entertainment value of
the museum.
We dont just want to be that
building next to the football sta-
dium, Mitchell said.
What started in 1917 as a collec-
tion of 7,500 works donated by Sallie
Casey Thayer, a Kansas City art col-
lector, has grown into a collection of
approximately 25,000 works of art in
differing mediums with a curatorial
staff that deter-
mines which
exhibitions the
museum will
bring to campus
each year.
Bill Woodard,
director of com-
munications for
the museum,
said that about
125,000 people
visit the muse-
um annually.
I like to say that it is a great place
for a cheap date, Woodard said.
The art museum has a state-funded
operating budget of roughly $1.2 mil-
lion this fiscal year and depends on
endowments and private donations
to bring exhibits to campus that the
staff thinks will pique interest among
students and the general public.
We have a student advisory
board to give student voice to what
were doing here, Woodard said.
Making sure we are meeting the
wants and needs of our students.
Current exhibitions at the muse-
um include Art into Art, a proj-
ect that links art to the humanities,
ma t he ma t i c s
and sciences,
and Views of
Vietnam, which
shows photo-
graphs and pro-
paganda from
the Vietnam
conflict from the
point of view of
the Vietcong.

Art lovers will have the oppor-
tunity to experience two different
exhibits for free this Friday, one at
the Spencer Museum of Art and
the other at the Kemper Museum
of Contemporary Art in Kansas
City, Mo.
The Student Advisory Board of
the museum and Kemper Museum
will sponsor Late Night University:
College Night at the Kemper, East
Meets West.
The board will hold a pre-party
from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the muse-
um. The event will feature works
by artists Roger Shimomura and
Keith Haring. DJ Jason Garden will
provide music for the event.
People can come in and they
can see things in our collection
that will prepare them visually, Bill
Woodard, director of communica-
tions for the museum, said.
After the party, attendees can
board a bus to attend the exhibit
at Kemper Museum. The bus will
return to Lawrence around mid-
night.
On display at Kemper Museum
will be Zephyr, an exhibit by Japanese-
American artist Gajin Fujita. This is
Fujitas first solo museum exhibition.
The event at Kemper Museum
will also feature short films by
students from the University of
Missouri-Kansas City, music by DJ
Spike and henna tattooing.
Kristy Peterson, curator of edu-
cation for Kemper Museum, said
the museum was always looking
for ways to engage new audiences
and thought a partnership with the
Spencer Museum of Art was a good
way to reach out to students. She
said the museum sponsored a col-
lege night at the museum about
once a semester.
The event is free and open to all
students.
Rachel Hineman, Dallas senior
and member of the Student
Advisory Board, said the purpose
of the board was to get students
interested in the museum.
Hineman said this was the first
event with Kemper Museum and
she thought it was a good way for
people who love art to meet and see
the museum.
I think there is something for
everybody and you dont just have
to be an art student to have a good
time, Hineman said,
Woodard said he wanted exhibits
like this to de-mystify the museum
and help people realize it was an
approachable place. He said every-
thing at the museum was free, but a
small donation was suggested.
Once people come and have
a good experience, it spreads,
Woodard said. It has this kind of
viral quality.
The Student Advisory Board
will be sponsoring another event
Nov. 30 titled Made in China. The
exhibition will feature photographs
taken by students on a study-abroad
trip to China.

KU Hillel will attempt to host the
biggest Shabbat in the state of Kansas
tonight. Shabbat is the weekly day of
rest for Judaism that traditionally
begins Friday night and lasts until
Saturday evening. The organiza-
tion sponsors a Shabbat celebration
annually, but wants this one to be
the biggest.
Hundreds of students, faculty and
families are invited to partake in the
traditional Jewish service and din-
ner. The event begins at 6 p.m. at
Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas
Union.
Matt Lehrman, Hillel Jewish stu-
dent life coordinator and program
director, said the event started five
years ago and was called Shabbat
100 to emphasize a goal of get-
ting 100 students to attend. Then it
became Shabbat 350. This year it is
Rock Chalk Shabbat to emphasize
the experience aspect. Though the
nominal focus will move away from
numbers this year, Lehrman said
they were still trying to make it one
of the biggest Jewish celebrations in
the state.
The program allows Jewish and
non-Jewish participants to experi-
ence a traditional Shabbat service
and immerse themselves in the
Jewish culture for one night.
Liz Cohen, Hillel president and
Leawood junior, said about 400 peo-
ple attended the Shabbat last year
and that she was looking forward to
even more attending this year.
Jewish students are coming
together to celebrate Shabbat and
KU students can see what Hillel is
all about and learn a little about the
Jewish religion and culture. It ben-
efits everyone, Cohen said.
The community will celebrate
tonight with a service that combines
both reformed and conservative tra-
ditions of Judaism. Hillel students
will lead the service. A dinner will
follow at 7 p.m. with a large Kosher
buffet, including challah. Challah is
bread, often braided, that is a tradi-
tional part of the Shabbat meal. For
entertainment, there will be a Jewish
a capella singing group and a raffle
for basketballs signed by the entire
Jayhawk team.
Barak Krengel, former Hillel vice
president for religious life and Dallas
sophomore, has been involved with
Hillel since he was a freshman. He
said he looked forward to spending
the night with friends to celebrate
his faith and culture.
For students who normally dont
get a chance to celebrate Shabbat,
this is kind of a chance to get back to
their roots, Krengel said.
Lehrman said Rock Chalk Shabbat
was the biggest event of the year for
Hillel. Lehrman said he hoped the
event would help to increase the
visibility of Hillel on campus with
Jewish and non-Jewish students.
Rock Chalk Shabbat is free.

Flu vaccines popular despite scrutiny
By Kim Lynch
Two tickets to a KU mens bas-
ketball game against Emporia State
will be among the items auctioned
at the Lawrence Community
Shelters weekend fundraiser.
The sixth annual Chocolate
and Tea at Three event will take
place from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday
at Free State High School, 4700
Overland Drive. The shelters goal
is to raise at least $20,000.
Anne Bracker, Lawrence
Community Shelter board mem-
ber, said around 300 people
attended the event last year. She
expects the turnout to be about
the same this year. The money
raised goes toward staffing and
shelter expenses.
Loring Henderson, executive
director of the shelter, said it was
one of the two major fundraisers
the shelter did each year. The other
fundraiser, Dinner and Dancing at
Dusk, takes place in the spring.
The event is extremely impor-
tant because it raised awareness
for the shelter, the programs and
the problems of the homeless,
Henderson said.
Donald Huggins, volunteer
coordinator and president of the
board of directors for the shelter,
said the majority of volunteers
were students.
KU students ought to be
very proud, Huggins said. As a
group, they are very giving.
Tickets for the event are $25
and can be purchased at the
door or through the Lawrence
Community Shelter.

All that tuition money just might
be worth it.
The Census Bureau released a
report on Oct. 25 that showed the
average yearly salary of a person
with a bachelors degree was about
$23,000 more than that of a high
school graduate.
When you go to college, its not
only for a degree, David Gaston,
director of the University Career
Center, said. Its learning to work
with other people and all those soft
skills you cant really get anywhere
else.
For KU graduates, no figure for
the average overall salary is available.
Mike Krings, University Relations
spokesman, said the reason was
that all the different programs and
schools at the University made it dif-
ficult to compile an overall average.
Information from the individual
schools, however, shows KU gradu-
ates earn salaries that meet or slight-
ly exceed the national average of
$51,554 for people with a bachelors
degree.
I would say its definitely com-
petitive, Gaston said.
According to the Web site of the
School of Engineering career center,
graduates of the school were offered
average first-year salaries ranging
from $45,153 for civil engineering
to $58,070 for chemical engineering.
Because the numbers were limited
to first-year salaries, they could be
extrapolated to exceed the national
average as those graduates became
longer-tenured at their jobs.
Using first-year data, the School
of Business performs similarly well.
Justin Lueger, communications spe-
cialist for the school, said average
starting salaries ranged from $36,100
for marketing majors to $47,375 for
information systems majors.
Patty Noland, director of the
career center for the School of
Journalism, said graduates of the
school earned average first-year
salaries comparable to the national
average for journalism graduates of
$27,800.
The School of Education is unable
to keep data on bachelors degrees
because its five-year program gets a
student halfway to a masters degree.
But Rick Ginsberg, dean of educa-
tion, said his guess was that gradu-
ates of the school would eventually
make a salary close to the average.
Fifty some-odd thousand over
the course of a career is probably a
reasonable number, Ginsberg said.
The School of Fine Arts, School
of Social Welfare and College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences did not
have average salaries for their gradu-
ates available.

A recent study published in the
British Medical Journal questions
the evidence upon which flu shot
recommendations are based.
Tom Jefferson, coordinator of
Cochrane Vaccines Field in Rome,
published Influenza vaccina-
tion: policy versus evidence in
the October edition of the journal.
Jefferson found that the changing
nature of the various viruses that
cause flu-like symptoms could ren-
der a vaccine ineffective. He said
the vaccine recommendations were
based on data from just one or two
seasons, which dont represent the
scope of the virus accurately.
Patricia Denning, chief of staff
at Watkins Memorial Health Center,
said the recommendations from the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention were reasonable. The
CDCs recommendations include the
elderly, young children and anyone
who wants to decrease the risk of flu.
In Lawrence, health officials are
not concerned by Jeffersons find-
ings. Charlotte Marthaler, direc-
tor of policy and planning for the
Lawrence-Douglas County Health
Department, said the department
would continue to follow the CDC
recommendations.
CDC is the gold standard of
information that we use in public
health, she said.
She said the flu vaccine is the
best way to prevent getting the flu.
The general public seems to
agree.
Marthaler said 1,800 doses had
already been administered to the
public this year. Seven community
clinics had to be canceled when a
new shipment didnt arrive.
We have gone through our sup-
ply faster this year than in previous
years, Denning said.
Gina Mengoni, Overland Park
freshman, got her flu shot Tuesday
in Strong Hall. She said that being
sick all the time made her decide
to get the shot.
From previous flu shots shes had,
she thinks the shots are effective and
that if she did get sick, it wasnt as
severe.
Jessie Habluetzel, Olathe fresh-
man, also got a flu shot on Tuesday.
She said she had got the shots since
she was a child, and hadnt been sick
in a long time.
I do recommend it, and I do
personally take the vaccine myself,
Denning said.
Marthaler said other ways to pre-
vent the flu are to wash hands, cover
sneezes and coughs and to stay at
home if ill.
As of Tuesday night, clinics at
Watkins for the flu shot have been
suspended until another shipment
arrives. Nasal spray vaccines, costing
$28, are available by appointment.
The flu shot costs $15. For more
information, call 864-9507.

OPINION PAGE 5A
The University Daily Kansan emphasizes the First Amendment:
In the past few years, a great
deal of criticism has been leveled
at the Bush administration for its
perceived missteps in a number
of areas. Some of this criticism is
deserved, but has unfortunately
distracted from what may be a
larger problem:
The institution of Congress
has utterly abdicated its respon-
sibility, and has become little
more than a sad caricature of its
formerly important self.
At its most basic level,
Congress is charged with pass-
ing laws. As the executive branch
has elevated and solidified its
importance in the past few
decades, Congress has become
marginalized, but still retains its
important duties of constructing
budgets and maintaining gov-
ernment oversight.
These are incredibly important
tasks, but the 109th Congress
was a disappointment on every
level. Just look at Congress today:
rife with corruption, fractured
by party disputes and power
struggles and sinfully ignorant
of important issues while sadly
attentive to meaningless events.
The 109th Congress met for
the fewest days in Congressional
history. It spent weeks staging
theatrical debates about Terry
Schiavo and gay marriage, but
paid no mind to the monstrous
national debt, our growing trade
imbalance or our mounting mili-
tary and diplomatic problems.
Members of Congress exist to
serve themselves and their back-
ers, secretly inserting earmarks
to budget bills that direct fed-
eral money to their own projects.
They blatantly cater to those who
provide the most money at the
obvious expense of the nations
welfare.
The most shocking abuse of
power came from the Speaker
of the House himself. In 2005,
Dennis Hastert allocated $200
million for highway development
near land he owns, then sold his
share for a $2 million profit.
If this isnt enough to illustrate
the moral vacuum in govern-
ment leadership, then what is?
Even the corruption reform bill,
passed after the public outcry to
spending scandals, was laugh-
able: It is actually set to expire
after this legislative session.
Can you blame us for not car-
ing who wins and loses when we
are really just electing the latest
members of a corrupt spend-
ing machine that refuses to take
its responsibility seriously? The
apathy of young voters is disturb-
ing to all of us, but Congress is
doing its part to perpetuate it.
If our government leaders
want us to take an active inter-
est in what theyre doing, they
should start acting like leaders.
McKay Stangler for the edito-
rial board
If you cant get excited about pol-
itics, it is time to redefine the word.
Thanks to the misfortunes of the
past and missteps of the present,
politics has come to carry a gener-
ally negative connotation. But this
doesnt have to be the case. Politics
does not have to be a person in an
ugly suit. Politics does not have to
be lies, corruption and money.
We are a new generation of
Americans and it is time we defined
politics for ourselves. But how? And
why should we even bother?
The how is easy. Be creative.
Follow your interests. Do what
feels right. The lively music scene
in Lawrence has helped me define
politics for myself. On Oct. 24
the reggae-influenced, hip-hop-
minded, acoustic-guitar-playing,
barefoot Michael Franti and his
band Spearhead played to an enthu-
siastic crowd at Liberty Hall on
Massachusetts Street.
Michael Franti and his band
embody what I think politics should
be: a good time with a social con-
science and a great beat.
Music can be a great way to
make politics more interesting and
important. And there is a lot of
it out there, from the classic Bob
Dylan to the widely popular Bono.
But if Bono is just a little too turtle-
neck and vanilla latte for you, I sug-
gest you check out Michael Franti.
Franti supports and encourages my
hippie ideals peace, love and all
that jazz but if those issues dont
get you worked up, find something
that does.
Find an artist, an ambassador, a
professor, a book, a song, a politi-
cian, a rabbi, a poem anything
that gets you interested in the world
around you. And that is politics.
And that leads us to the why.
Why should you care how our
government runs and who runs it?
Why should you care about politics?
You should care for two reasons.
The first reason is so that you,
your loved ones and all Americans
can lead the good life. Who con-
trols the government and how they
control the government has a direct
impact on the quality of life for
Americans.
Secondly, it is your responsibility
as a citizen to keep our government
honest and working so it can pro-
tect all Americans. If our govern-
ment is broken, we must fix it.
In order to truly care about poli-
tics, we must make politics about
our lives, our rights and our needs.
You can do this by finding a new
definition for the word politics: a
personal definition, a public defini-
tion, a musical definition, a writ-
ten definition, a simple definition
whatever it takes to realize that
you have a place in this world and a
political responsibility to our coun-
try. It is time to get excited.

As the president of Delta Force,
the largest progressive student
organization at the University of
Kansas, I am concerned by the lack
of Kansan coverage of recent Delta
Force events.
An Oct. 24 article, Seeking out
student voters, points out that the
College Republicans and Young
Democrats have been on Wescoe
since the beginning of the semes-
ter registering voters. But the only
student organization out there four
days a week for the past two months
was Delta Force. Our non-partisan
campaign registered more than 500
new student voters, over five times
more than the Young Democrats
and College Republicans combined.
Furthermore, on Oct. 23, Delta
Force put together a pumpkin
patch on the Strong Hall lawn
to raise money for the Lawrence
Humane Society and the Nathan
Buie Jr. Foundation. Through this
event we were able to collect more
than $100 for these charities, as
well as promote awareness for two
under-represented causes on cam-
pus. However, after informing the
Kansan of this event several times,
we were disappointed to find that
instead of coverage of our on cam-
pus event, we found a picture in the
Kansan of a kindergartens pumpkin
patch in Texas.
Delta Force strives to be a pro-
gressive influence on campus and
within the Lawrence community.
The members of Delta Force are
amazing and dedicated people who
put hard work into all of our efforts.
It is my hope that the Kansan will
give them the credit they are due in
the future.
For more information about
Delta Force, visit our meetings
every Sunday at 8 p.m. in the
Ecumenical Christian Ministries
building, on the corner of 12th
Street and Oread Avenue.

Remember Hanson? I have
a close personal connection to
Hanson. My friends band played a
concert last year in which it opened
for the band that once won a con-
test to open for the band that was
touring as the opening band for
Hanson.
I wont go as far as to say that
Hansons music defined our genera-
tion, but when the insanely catchy
single MMMBop hit the pop air-
waves in the mid 90s, it had every-
one asking, Who are these girls?
Being a young connoisseur of
Casey Kasems Top 40, I thought
this band was much better than say,
Robyn, or the Spice Girls, or any
other girl group out there. They had
nothing on Mariah Carey, but then,
who does?
Remember how surprised you
were when Hanson turned out
to be three brothers? No man (or
boy) had dared sing that high since
Prince. But the Hanson boys, in all
of their cuteness, caught the wave
of popularity and surfed through
the hearts of fifth-grade girls every-
where.
You may not hear much about
Hanson these days, but the group
still exists. In fact, Hanson played a
concert in Lawrence a year or two
ago. My guess is that more than
a few college girls bought tickets,
went to the show, and were shocked
to find that the boys they had ogled
in Seventeen magazine were now
full grown men.
Could they still hit the high notes
on MMMBop? I doubt it. Only if
Hanson were untouched by time,
locked in their prepubescent glory,
would they be as good today as they
once were.
Now consider another aging
music legend: Bob Dylan. Sure, his
recent album, Modern Times,
may have been met with critical
accolades, and it actually hit No. 1
on the Billboard charts. But anyone
who has seen Dylan live in the last
half-decade knows one thing: His
voice aint what it used to be. What
used to be a nasally, yet melodic,
whine has been replaced by a
gravelly, tuneless growl. Luckily,
the old mans lyrical sense is still
sharp, because without the help of
a recording studio, he cant carry a
tune in a bucket.
So here is my proposal: In the
great tradition of supergroups
such as the Traveling Wilburys
(Dylan, George Harrison, Tom
Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne)
and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young,
Bob Dylan and the brothers Hanson
should join forces.
By combining Hansons teen idol
looks and pop hooks with Dylans
literary genius, they will regain their
former greatness and beat the old
devil Time. I suggest the follow-
ing name for the band: MMMBop
Dylan.

As a 2006 KU graduate, believe
me that I know all too well about
the problems that Dan Hoyt com-
plains about with some students
ignorance (Wednesday, If youre
here, you should know Kansas).
However, I do not think that attend-
ing the University of Kansas means
that you should know anything
about the geography of the state.
I do not really know how Hoyt
can justify why someone needs
to know a city that is hundreds of
miles away simply because they live
within the same borders. Everyone
at the University goes to school in
the United States, and I speculate
that there are aspects of the country
that many do not know.
Everyone has the right to be
bothered because there are people
at the school who are familiar with
Lawrence and only Lawrence, but
I do not think that anyone has the
right to insult these people.
No person rightly calls you igno-
rant because you are not familiar
with where they are from.

This was an error by
the University Daily Kansan.
Kathy Damron, University lobby-
ist, said most people thought about
the classroom experience when they
thought of universities but not the
research areas.
There are hundreds of millions
of dollars in research activity on all
of the college campuses and one
bad flood or a leaky pipe can wash
away tens of millions of dollars of
research, Damron said. To not take
care of the infrastructure is putting a
lot of that investment at risk.
According to a 2004 Board of
Regents facilities audit, the average
University building is 45 years old.
Kansas State has a maintenance
backlog of $209.4 million, the high-
est in the state. The University
(excluding the Medical Center) is
second in the state with $168.5 mil-
lion in deferred maintenance.

Ranzau, an orthopedic physician
assistant, said he wanted to know
why tuition rates were increasing.
We need to keep an open mind
to see what other solutions might
be out there instead of throwing
money at it, he said.
Economy
Kramer, a mechanic for Spirit
AeroSystems, would like a free
market system that he said would
guarantee students an affordable
education.
I ask everyone at KU to take
a good look at
everyone in
Indonesia to
look at how
their dollar
p l u mme t e d
overnight and
how college
students were
in the streets
rioting because
they couldnt
afford educa-
tion, he said.
We are reliv-
ing the Soviet Union again right
here in America. What were after is
reduced costs in universities. I dont
know how, but theyd better plan to
do it.
Prospects for college students
looking for a job after graduation
are good, Sebelius said, though
all her challengers disagree. She
said the demand for workers with
advanced training and post-second-
ary degrees was reaching a new
high.
I will continue to support our
educational institutions from pre-
K to post-secondary, so that every
Kansan is prepared to enter the work
force trained and ready, she said.
Barnetts projections about the
economy were not so positive.
Our state has lagged behind in
terms of economic growth, he said.
We are lagging behind the rest of
the nation. Some people seem to be
focused on budget deficits; what we
have is a growth deficit.
He said Kansas was leading the
nation in terms of government jobs
but lagging in private-sector job
growth.
We should have a sucking sound
of businesses coming here, not leav-
ing, to bring you job opportuni-
ties as you graduate, Barnett said.
If you look at the history, Kansas
workers earn less than our neigh-
boring states because of the poor
business climate in our state.
Barnett has several tactics to
improve the states economy, the
first being the removal of the state
Supreme Courts control over the
budget. He would also give tax cuts:
a 10 percent investment tax credit
for businesses and a $500 increase
in tax exemptions for every depen-
dent in a family.
Ranzau said that the state had
a strong econ-
omy but that
people were
overtaxed and
the govern-
ment had too
much control.
T h e r e
shouldnt be
running debt
at any level of
government,
he said. We
need to be
responsible with taxpayers money.
Ranzau said he supported a tax-
payers bill of rights. He also sees
a need for a flat tax or fair tax on
the national level so property taxes,
franchise fees and income tax could
be eliminated.
I think that empowers the people
and decreases the expenses for busi-
nesses, he said. It eliminates loop-
holes and spreads tax to everyone.
Illegal immigration
Illegal immigration is a hot topic
in this race, and the main reason
Ranzau decided to run for office.
Sebelius said the control of
Americas borders was the duty of
the federal government. She said
the state was forced to deal with
the consequences of federal gov-
ernments inaction. Thats why she
ordered members of the Kansas
National Guard to assist in securing
the border, she said.
She wants to crack down on
employers who hire illegal immi-
grants, she said, because their reck-
less disregard for the law is creating
the situation that led to this crisis.
Barnett and Ranzau also agree
that employers should be punished.
In 2004, Sebelius signed a law
that provided in-state tuition to
the children of illegal immigrants.
She emphasized it was not a give-
away because the students must
have gone to a high school for
at least three years. They are also
required to take steps to become
legal citizens including signing
an affidavit of intent.
Ranzau said he is the only one in
the race talking tough on immi-
gration.
Illegal immigration affects your
health care, your jobs, your wages,
your taxes, your prisons, so we
need to do something about it,
he said. Anyone who says its a
problem for the federal government
either doesnt understand the prob-
lem or simply doesnt want to do
anything about it. And thats what
the governor does.
He suggested a multifaceted,
multilevel approach would involve
law enforcement and eliminate the
social safety net drawing immi-
grants to the country. If all the areas
work together, he said, the state cre-
ates an area conducive to keeping
illegal immigrants out.
Unlike Sebelius, Barnett does not
support drivers licenses for illegal
immigrants and said the governors
proposed policy was reckless. He
also doesnt support in-state tuition
for illegal immigrants and said too
many Kansas families could not
afford their childrens education.
We dont have any business
giving them better treatment than
American citizens, he said.
He said the state needed to pro-
tect the voting systems integrity by
providing photo ID to everyone,
including low-income families.
He also said the state should work
more closely with Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, the fed-
eral agency, so that the highway
patrol and other local law enforce-
ment agencies could be involved in
immigration issues.
Four of the people who flew
their planes into our buildings on
9/11 had been pulled over by high-
way patrol and let go, he said.
Thats a significant issue.

REGENTS (CONTINUED FROM 1A) GOVERNOR (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
Te intent of the comment was
not to be negative, Reynolds said.
Te focus of our recruitment was
the relationships with the women
and not the chapter facility.
Reynolds said that in the past,
the new house was used as a selling
point, but she said in the three years
shes been a part of AGD, that hasnt
been the case.
Weve never recruited because
of the new house, Reynolds said.
Alix Fried, a 2006 alumna who
joined Sigma Delta Tau, said she
remembered during formal recruit-
ment in 2002 how much Alpha
Gamma Delta played up the idea of
living in a new house.
It was defnitely a big thing they
were pushing, she said.
Fried said that the sorority had a
huge poster and blueprints of what
the new house was going to look like.
Tey told us wed be moving in
shortly if we joined, Fried said.
She said at the time active mem-
bers of AGD said the move-in to a
new house could be as soon as the
next school year.
Fried said that because of the im-
portance of a house to a fraternity
or sorority, the idea of moving in to
something new was really special.
Fried eventually chose not to join
the AGD sorority, because of friends
joining other chapters and the fact
she felt more comfortable elsewhere,
but said she felt bad for the women
of the sorority without a house.
Several other women who went
through sorority recruitment be-
tween 2002 and 2004, some who
pledged to a sorority and others who
did not, confrmed that building a
new house was always a signifcant
component of recruitment.
As for the new house, it has been
an emotional load for the sorority.
Financial concerns and, more re-
cently, the drafing of plans, have
pushed back the opening of a new
house. Weve hired a professional
fundraiser, and if everything hap-
pens the way it could, the hope is
that we could have a house to move
in to by August of 2008, Pitts said.
Pitts added that if the sorority
had used a professional fundraiser
fve years ago, it might be in a dif-
ferent situation now. In either case,
Pitts said the group was moving in a
positive direction.
Concerning where the group will
live next school year, Pitts holds out
hope that a deal can be reworked
with Sigma Nu to extend its lease.
However, Tom Rost, a former Sigma
Nu member and a longtime mem-
ber of the local Sigma Nu board,
said that the fraternitys plan was to
take possession of its house when
the lease with Alpha Gamma Delta
expired in July. AGD leased the Sig-
ma Nu house for this year afer the
fraternity lost its charter.
No date has been set for when the
two groups will discuss a possible
renewal. If a deal cant be reached,
the sorority will look at other hous-
ing options.

yards, completing more than 72 per-
cent of his passes and 41 touchdowns
and just five interceptions. As if that
wasnt enough, Reesing also rushed
for 750 yards and eight touchdowns.
The stats were certainly impressive,
but there was one drawback.
Reesing is only 5-foot-11, or as
he describes himself 5-foot-10 and
some change.
And thats why major programs
were reluctant to offer Reesing a
scholarship.
Among the few schools that did
offer Reesing a chance were Kansas
State and Kansas. After a visit in
Manhattan with former Wildcats
coach Bill Snyder in April 2004,
Reesing made the short trip here to
Lawrence.
I was blown away, Reesing said.
So was Mangino. He offered
Reesing a scholarship on the spot.
Just like that, the kid who was
shunned by larger schools was going
to get his shot.
He graduated from Lake Travis
High School in Austin a semes-
ter early to be on campus in time
for spring practice. Once he got to
Lawrence, Reesing used the same
smarts that helped him in calculus
to learn Kansas offense. While it was
more complicated than the offense
he ran at Lake Travis, Reesing picked
it up quickly.
That was obvious on Saturday.
There was Reesing on the field
barking out plays at the line of scrim-
mage like a wily old veteran. The
thing that made Reesing stand out
against Colorado, though, was his
ability to scramble out of the pocket
and make plays out of nothing.
Everybody said you cant do the
same things you did in high school,
Reesing said. You cant get away
with as much because the guys are
a lot more athletic and fast. But
pulling off that 60-yard run kind of
shocked me. I never thought I was
going to outrun anybody.
He did Saturday, and led the
team in rushing with 90 yards on
the ground, including that 63-yard
scamper. But despite his performance
against Colorado, Reesing realizes
that his time in the spotlight might be
limited. When Meier gets healthy, its
presumed that hell regain his starting
spot, though Mangino has refused to
discuss his quarterback situation. For
right now, Reesings enjoying himself.
He has a long way to go and he
knows it, Mangino said. But hes
just a happy guy. If youre around
him, hell make you happy.
Its easy to see why.

Big 12 FootBall
By Shawn ShRoyeR
Iowa State could be the remedy
Kansas and its seven-game road
losing streak is looking for.
Despite returning 11 starters on
offense from last years team and
all-Big 12 selections on both sides
of the ball, this season has been a
nightmare for the Cyclones, who are
3-6 and winless in conference play.
Iowa State reached its low point
of the season last week when,
already riddled with injuries, it lost
yet another key player and lost 31-
10 to a Kansas State team they
would have been heavily favored to
defeat a couple months ago.
Iowa State coach Dan McCarney
could throw a pity party for him-
self, but he isnt.
Its not easy, but its a team game
and we all have 85 scholarships
available and you just have to be
good enough to overcome those,
McCarney said. We were not.
Starting wide receiver Jon Davis
left midway through the Kansas
State game with a collapsed lung,
and wont play against Kansas on
Saturday. Davis only adds to Iowa
States list of banged-up players.
On offense, the Cyclones will also
be without guard Tom Schmeling
and running back Stevie Hicks. On
defense, all-conference cornerback
DeAndre Jackson and linebacker
Adam Carper are done for the sea-
son with torn ACLs.
Even with so many holes to fill,
Iowa State still has enough players
left to make Kansas earn its first
road victory since 2004.
The Cyclone offense will now
rest on the shoulders of all-confer-
ence quarterback Bret Meyer. Hes
thrown for 2,023 yards with an aver-
age of nearly 225 yards per game.
And with Hicks out, he is Iowa
States leading rusher with 180 yards
and six touchdowns. The problem
for Meyer this season is that hes
made as many big plays with his
arm as he has mistakes, with 10
touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Although Davis wont be in
action, Meyer should have his
favorite receiving target back. Wide
receiver Todd Blythe missed last
weeks game because of a viral ill-
ness, but is expected to be back
in the starting lineup on Saturday.
Blythe is second on the team with
30 catches and first on the team with
436 receiving yards. Hes the only
Cyclone receiver who has caught
multiple touchdowns, with seven.
On defense, Iowa States pass
defense isnt much better than
Kansas, allowing only 43 fewer
yards per game. Without Jackson,
the Cyclones will be even more vul-
nerable. However, Iowa State could
have enough bodies in its front
seven to contain Kansas senior run-
ning back Jon Cornish.
Although Iowa State hasnt played
like the Big 12 North contender it
was supposed to be, Kansas coach
Mark Mangino is familiar with the
hardships teams can go through
during a season and understands
why the Cyclones have struggled.
Theyve had some setbacks in
personnel, so those things all need
to be taken into consideration,
Mangino said.

Playing a complete game tops
the list of KU womens basketball
coach Bonnie Henricksons goals
for Sundays 2 p.m. exhibition game
against the Washburn Lady Blues.
Weve got to work on sustaining
two halves, she said. Most of these
players for their high school teams
didnt play four quarters; theyd play
three quarters and sit out the fourth
quarter.
The Jayhawks sped out to a 46-
18 lead at the end of the first half
Wednesday. In the abysmal second half,
the team gave up 37 points to an 80-55
exhibition victory over Fort Hays State.
Senior guard Shaquina Mosley
diagnosed the problem in the
Jayhawks second-half performance.
We didnt carry our defensive
intensity into the second half,
Mosley said. We arent going to get
off to such a big lead in every game,
so we need to be ready to work hard
every possession, every play.
The Lady Blues should require the
Jayhawks to show their hard work on
every possession Sunday. Washburn is
returning four of five starters. Among
that group is a pair of senior forwards,
Megan Sullivan and Brooke Ubelaker,
two of the teams three leading scorers
last season.
Sullivan and Ubelakers size and
scoring ability should test a Jayhawk
frontcourt that struggled to grab
defensive rebounds in the second half
of Wednesdays game.
The Jayhawks starting lineup on
Sunday will be a game-time decision
like Wednesdays exhibition game,
but dont expect too much altera-
tion.
I wouldnt make drastic changes
before Sunday, Henrickson said.
Thanks in part to the excellent
recruiting class of seven freshmen,
the Jayhawks are a deep basketball
team. On Sunday, 10 players were in
the game for at least 10 minutes.
Junior forward Jamie Boyd start-
ed the game against Fort Hays State.
After getting into foul trouble with
only one rebound and no points,
however, forwards Marija Zinic,
Danielle McCray, and Porscha
Weddington wound up with more
playing time than Boyd.
Danielle McCray and guard Sade
Morris will probably see the most
minutes from the Jayhawks large
freshman class. McCray proved to be
one of the best shooters on the team,
with 13 points that included a beauti-
ful three-point shot from well behind
the line. Sade Morris had 14 points in
Wednesdays contest and wants her
team to improve on Sunday.
I hope we can play a whole game,
not just a 20-minute half, she said.

The Kansas volleyball team will
be meeting parallels when they try
to upset Iowa State on Saturday in
Ames, Iowa. Kansas has lost its last
four games; Iowa has won the last
four. At the Ames game last sea-
son, the Cyclones won, putting the
Jayhawks at eighth and bringing
themselves to seventh. Neither are
ranked in the Top 25 Coaches Poll.
First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. at
Hilton Coliseum.
Theyre going to be fired up,
Katie Martincich, freshman setter,
said. I think were getting better and
we have nothing to lose, so hopefully
we can upset them.
The Jayhawks (10-13, 3-11 Big
12) were swept by the Cyclones (16-
7, 8-5) earlier this season at home.
Kansas has yet to win a confer-
ence road game this season. Iowa
State has won its last four contests,
including an upset victory at No. 21
Missouri on Wednesday.
Kansas was swept by No. 8 Texas
on Wednesday. The Longhorns out-
blocked the Jayhawks 9 to 2.
Iowa State has the top-ranked
blocker in the Big 12 with Erin
Boeve, junior middle blocker, aver-
aging 1.68 per game.
It doesnt seem likely KU will be
in the mix for an NCAA tournament
bid this year, but Martincich will
most likely reach 1,000 assists this
season on Saturday. She needs just
six assists to reach the milestone.
She works with as much pas-
sion as anybody, Kansas coach Ray
Bechard said. She is always try-
ing to improve and she has the
willingness to improve more than
anybody.
With postseason aspirations
dwindling, Bechard challenged his
team after the Texas loss.
I told them to identify and iso-
late some areas where they could
improve and help the team, he
said.
Kansas will be home next as they
face Colorado (13-8, 9-5) on Nov.
8. Colorado won a five-game match
earlier this season in Boulder, Colo.

Jayhawks to face Panthers
at home after Missouri loss
Clark Campbell, who is in his ffth
year as coach, looks to regroup the
Kansas swimming and diving team
as it stays home this weekend to
face Northern Iowa at the Robinson
Natatorium for a two-day meet.
Kansas will attempt to rebound
from a recent loss to Missouri in
todays action at 6 p.m. The Jay-
hawks and Panthers will meet again
Saturday at 10 a.m. The event is free.
The team fell to Missouri last week-
end by the score of 187-111. The loss
brings the Jayhawks to 2-1 overall
and 0-1 in the Big 12 Conference.
Earlier in the year, the team
fnished fourth in the Big 12 relays
and defeated Nebraska-Omaha
during a weekend meet.
Daniel C. Weixeldorfer
Two reporters, one from Iowa State
Daily and one from The University
Daily Kansan, take sides, predicting
who will win this weekends game
and why.
Five reasons Iowa
State will win:
1. The Kansas secondary
The Jayhawks are dead last in
the conference in both defense and
pass defense. Iowa State quarterback
Bret Meyer has plenty of weapons
at receiver, even though theyre a
little banged up. Meyer can and will
exploit the Jayhawks through the
air.
2. The Kansas quarterback situ-
ation
Look. We dont know whos going
to be starting at quarterback. Usually
it spells disaster when a team goes
through a week with musical chairs
at the signal-caller position. The
most likely candidate to start is the
Oompa-Loompa-sized Todd Reesing,
who isnt tall enough to ride most of
the roller coasters up the road from
Lawrence at Worlds of Fun.
3. The Cyclones are due
This team won seven games last
year with the exact same offense.
The difference this year was break-
ing in an entirely new defense that
also has had to overcome a ton of
injuries. Guys have gotten experi-
ence and started to gel last week,
even though the score didnt show
it. Against a poor defense and an
offense in chaos, this could be the
week ISU breaks out.
4. The revenge factor
Yeah, the Cyclones got shown up
by the Jayhawks last year to cost
Iowa State a trip to the Big 12 title
game. While that saved Iowa State
from getting blasted by Texas, it
still ticked off everyone. Dont think
theyve forgotten that.
5. The Cyclones backs are against
the wall
The team must win out to make
a bowl, plus, from the sounds of
things, coach Dan McCarneys chair
is getting plenty hot. Everybody
involved with the program needs a
victory. Simply put, Iowa State is des-
perate and cant settle for anything
less than a victory. It will want this
game more than Kansas.
Brett McIntyre, Iowa State Daily
Five reasons Kansas
will win:
1. Jon Cornish
Senior running back Jon Cornish
has been the Jayhawks workhorse
on offense this season. Hes already
passed the 1,000-yard mark for the
season and wants to break Kansas
single-season rushing record. As
long as Kansas can run the ball and
control the clock, Iowa States offense
wont get a shot against the defense.
2. Iowa States injuries
Simply put, Iowa State will be
without too many key players to
expect to win. If the Jayhawks were
without Cornish and two wide
receivers, they would have no shot.
Barring major mistakes by Kansas to
keep Iowa State in the game, this is a
game Kansas should win.
3. Aqib Talib
Last week, Colorado made the
mistake of continuing to throw the
ball to cornerback Talibs side of the
field. The Buffaloes certainly paid for
the mistake, with Talib getting two
interceptions. If Iowa State makes the
same mistake, expect Talib to record
a few more picks this weekend.
4. The Jayhawks are due
How many games in a row can
this team lose on the road? Its been
nearly two seasons since its last vic-
tory away from Memorial Stadium.
An improving Kansas team against
a struggling Iowa State squad looks
like a good opportunity to snap that
road losing streak.
5. Running quarterbacks
With either Kerry Meier or Todd
Reesing under center, Kansas will
have an added dimension with a
running quarterback. Iowa State
has shown an inability to stop the
run and pass in conference play and
with quarterbacks that can do both,
Kansas should be able to take advan-
tage of its strength. No starter has
been named, but expect either Meier
or Reesing to carry the football a lot.

U.S. charges coach with obstruction
By david KRavETs
associaTEd PREss
SAN FRANCISCO Trevor
Graham, who has coached some of
the worlds fastest track stars, was
charged Thursday with hindering
the governments steroids probe.
Graham, who sparked the now
3-year-old federal investigation,
was charged with three counts of
making false statements to federal
agents in an indictment issued by
the grand jury investigating perfor-
mance-enhancing drugs.
Graham was summoned to
appear for arraignment Nov. 16 in
U.S. District Court. If convicted of
all three counts, he faces a maxi-
mum penalty of 15 years in prison
and a $750,000 fine.
Grahams Raleigh, N.C.-based
attorney Joseph Zeszotarski did not
immediately return a telephone call
from The Associated Press.
Graham operates Sprint Capitol
USA, a team of about 10 athletes
that includes Justin Gatlin, the 100-
meter co-world record holder who
tested positive for testosterone and
other steroids in April.
Graham also coached sprinter
Marion Jones, who won five med-
als at the 2000 Sydney Games with
him, and her former boyfriend Tim
Montgomery, who was suspended
from competition for two years
despite never testing positive for a
banned substance.
Several of Grahams athletes,
however, have tested positive for
banned substances. The coach has
been under investigation for alleg-
edly lying to investigators looking
into doping connected to a San
Francisco area laboratory.
In August, the U.S. Olympic
Committee banned Graham from
its training centers, because many
of his athletes have been suspended
for doping offenses.
Authorities also are examin-
ing whether Barry Bonds, the San
Francisco Giants slugger, com-
mitted perjury when he told the
BALCO grand jury in 2003 that he
never knowingly used steroids. He
told the panel he believed Anderson
had supplied him with flaxseed oil
and arthritis balm.
By shawn shroyer
Kansas go-to guy on the bench,
Darnell Jackson, found him-
self in the starting lineup against
Washburn University.
Just as he used to give Kansas
a spark as a reserve, Jackson ener-
gized the Jayhawks from the open-
ing tip-off as Kansas rolled to a 99-
69 victory over the Ichabods. More
importantly, the junior gave Kansas
the inside presence it needed with-
out its top two centers.
I loved how aggressive he was,
Self said. Hes a good shooter, hes
gotten better offensively, and he
rebounded the ball decently tonight.
From a production standpoint, Id
say its his best game.
A month ago Jackson was Self s
third option at center, but because
of an injury to starting center Sasha
Kaun and the suspension of reserve
center C.J. Giles, Jackson stood on
the large Jayhawk at midcourt to
take the tip-off Thursday.
He didnt waste any time proving
worthy of the start, winning the tip
and leading the Jayhawks in scoring
and rebounding in the first half. For
the game, he had 18 points and a
team-high 10 rebounds.
It felt good going out there and
playing and knocking down shots,
Jackson said. When I first got here,
I was timid, I was nervous, and last
year I sat out nine games.
Earlier in the week Self and
Jackson expressed concerns about
how many minutes the post players
would have to play without Kaun
or Giles. After playing 16 minutes
in the first half, Jackson missed
most of the second half because of
cramps.
Still, sophomore Julian Wright
didnt think the frontcourt players
got too tired. He said they mainly
had to adjust to the sudden increase
in repetitions during a game com-
pared to those experienced in prac-
tice.
Undersized and overwhelmed,
Washburn allowed Kansas three
main frontcourt players Jackson,
Wright, and freshman Darrell
Arthur to combine for 54
points.
Offensively, they were all pretty
good, Self said. It helps when you
make the first shot, too, and we
made our first four or five, and that
takes the pressure off a little bit.
Wright and Jackson were busy
early, scoring 12 of Kansas first 15
points. Kansas broke an 8-6 game
open by going on a 20-6 run.
As Washburn began to fight
back midway through the first half,
Kansas frontcourt answered. Of the
Jayhawks last 15 points of the first
half, 13 came from Jackson and
Arthur.
Overshadowed by Kansas per-
formance inside was the perim-
eter play of sophomore Brandon
Rush, junior Russell Robinson and
sophomore Mario Chalmers. The
trio combined for 26 points. Rush
and Chalmers were deadly from
three-point range in the first half,
making four of seven attempts from
behind the arc.
The absence of Kaun and Giles
was most obvious in the rebound-
ing and defensive battle inside.
Although Jackson, Wright and
Arthur combined for 25 points, the
Ichabods interior players combined
for 55 points and 31 rebounds. As
a team, Washburn collected 47
rebounds to Kansas 48.
Im real concerned, Self said.
We didnt defend the post and we
didnt rebound the ball, so weve got
a lot of stuff to work on before we
play Northern Arizona, but Im not
sure thats all bad, either.
Self announced after the game
that junior guard Jeremy Case will
be out seven to 10 days with a
pulled groin.

Saturdays victory puts freshman in spotlight
football
Former redshirt quarterback rallies bowl hopes, sparks comeback, eager to do more
Kansan fle photo
Freshman quarterback todd reesing sawhis frst action Saturday against Colorado. Reesing
revived Kansas hopes for a bowl invitation.
By ryan schneider
Todd Reesing has a problem.
And it has nothing to do with
football.
Its that Reesing might get a B this
semester.
For a kid that had a 4.2 grade-
point-average and graduated in the
top one percent of his class in high
school, Reesing calls his lone B this
semester disappointing.
The class thats causing the disap-
pointment? Calculus II for engineer-
ing students. Not exactly a class for
slackers.
No underwater basket weaving
this semester, Reesing joked.
But if that B is the worst problem
that Reesings had to deal with in the
past week, then things are certainly
going well for the freshman quar-
terback. Reesing helped Kansas rally
from a nine-point halftime deficit
to get the 20-15 victory that kept
the Jayhawks bowl hopes alive for
another week.
He was deemed too small to play
college football at a major program.
Yet something about the quarterback
from Austin, Texas, drew Kansas
coaches to him. Maybe it was the
arm. Or maybe it was his infec-
tious smile. But whatever it was, the
decision to bring Reesing to Kansas
certainly paid
off last week.
Although no
starter has been
named, Reesing
is likely to get a
chance to prove
them right again
this weekend
against Iowa
State.
Its been kind
of a dream come
true, Reesing said. Its real exciting.
I just try to enjoy the moment.
If not for starting quarterback
Kerry Meiers string of injuries and
backup Adam Barmanns inability
to move the offense, Reesing may
not even be in the spotlight. Instead,
hed take a redshirt and be on the
scout team. And thats exactly where
Reesing was a few weeks ago.
Reesing has spent more time on
the scout team, using his arm to
help the defense prepare for teams
that run a pass-first offense. It was
after the Baylor game that coach
Mark Mangino
came to Reesing
with the offer to
strip his redshirt
and see playing
time.
Mangino said
nothing was
guaranteed, but
the opportunity
was there.
Before I
could finish my
sentence, it was, Yeah, I want to play.
I want to do what I can do to help us
win, Mangino said. Since weve
made that change, we will make sure
that he continues to play.
And just like that, Reesing, the
teams third-string quarterback,
found his way onto the Jayhawks-
quarterback carousel.
While his performance against
Colorado was certainly impressive,
it was only one half of one game.
Nothing to draw too many con-
clusions about. Despite that, team-
mates said he was the reason, the
spark behind that comeback victory
a week ago.
I know we wouldnt have won
without him, senior wide receiver
Brian Murph said.
On the sidelines during the come-
back that saw Reesing lead Kansas to
three straight touchdown drives, he
talked. A lot.
Dont worry, guys, this is what I
do, Reesing told teammates on the
sideline. I win games.
Theres no doubt about that.
Reesing certainly knows how to
win. Back in Austin at Lake Travis
High, Reesings teams went 19-4
during his junior and senior seasons
in the states second-largest football
classification.

kansas 99, washburn 69
Freshmen make
strong showing
By Michael PhilliPs
As expected, the Jayhawk fresh-
men saw plenty of minutes, had a
large hand in the scoring and con-
nected from behind the three-point
line.
And that was just Darrell Arthur.
Arthur stole the show, receiving
significant minutes and scoring a
game-high 21 points in the forward
position Sasha Kaun will play when
he returns from injury.
Hes just got a knack for getting
the ball in the hoop, coach Bill Self
said. Arthur had plenty of occasions
to put the ball up, enjoying a height
and skill advantage on the Washburn
players he faced all night in the 99-
69 victory.
He said that while he had the
opportunity to get the points tonight,
hes not going to be forcing shots.
I think I see myself as a role
player, he said. Coach wants me to
get a lot of rebounds.
The other highly touted fresh-
man, guard Sherron Collins, played
for 24 minutes, most of them along-
side Arthur.
Collins finished with just two
points, a layup he converted after
grabbing a loose ball and outrun-
ning his defender to the basket.
His night was littered with almos-
ts and couldve beens, including a
missed layup and several shots that
rattled the rim but didnt fall.
Self said that he was impressed
by Collins composure, attributing it
to his playing in front of big crowds
during high school in Chicago.
The same cant be said of Arthur,
who felt nervous all day.
I still had butterflies all through
the game, but the guys worked me
through it, he said.
He tried to keep one piece of
advice in his mind through the
whole game: Any play thats coming
to you, dont forget it, he said.
He was successful at that offen-
sively and defensively, where
he recorded two blocks and four
rebounds. The stats will not officially
count, as it was an exhibition game.
The third freshman also made his
Fieldhouse debut count. Guard Brady
Morningstar saw limited action, but
managed a long three-pointer with
four minutes to play.
Two other players also made
their Jayhawk debuts Thursday.
Sophomore guard Brennan Bechard
and junior guard Brad Witherspoon
both joined the team this year and
played the final 41 seconds of the
game. Bechard connected on a
three-pointer, his only shot oppor-
tunity.
For Arthur, the challenge now is
to build stamina so he can play more
minutes in Kauns absense. Self said
that Arthur was the only player he
saw tiring on the court.
Hes going to have to get himself
to a point where he can play 25 min-
utes at a hard pace, the coach said.
Self added that the same was true
of Collins, and that he wouldnt be
afraid to ask big things of his fresh-
men this season.

Todd Reesing
Freshman quarterback
Ofense
Iowa State entered the season with preseason All-Big 12
quarterback Bret Meyer, a 1,000-yard running back in Stevie
Hicks, a plethora of receiving options, and an ofensive line
that was returning four players with starting experience. Well,
every level of the Cyclone ofense has broken down in some
capacity this season. The line allowed Meyer to get sacked
fve times in one game, six times in another, and seven times
in a third game. While receiver Todd Blythe has put up some
of the best stats in the Big 12, he missed last weeks game
with an undisclosed illness while Iowa States other starting
receiver Jon Davis will be out indefnitely because of a col-
lapsed lung he sufered last week. Hicks is likely to miss the
rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery Tuesday. As
for Meyer, well, he wont be receiving any postseason honors.
With just 10 touchdowns in nine games equaled by 10
interceptions even Adam Barmann could challenge this
all-conference quarterback for playing time.
Defense
Iowa States ofense is dreadful, but its defense is worse. The
Cyclones are surrendering 31 points per game, which is last
in the Big 12 by fve points an outing. Regardless of which
quarterback(s) Kansas uses, he should have success against a
secondary that is allowing 235 yards per game. Kansas
running back Jon Cornish should have a feld day
as Iowa State is giving up nearly 150 rushing
yards a game. Standing in Cornishs way will
be an extremely talented linebacker corps.
Alvin Bowen leads the nation with 12.9 tackles
per game and teammate Tyrone McKenzie is
close behind, averaging 11.3 per game, which
is fourth in the country. The third member
of the group is Jon Banks, who is averaging 8.7
tackles per game. If Iowa State pressures Kansas
quarterback(s), defensive tackle Brent Curvey will be
the one getting in the backfeld. He leads the team
with 5.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for losses.

Momentum
On the bright side, all three of Iowa States vic-
tories this season have come at home, but the
Cyclones are in danger of losing three straight
home games for the frst time since 2003,
when they lost fve straight home games.
Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, had been
very kind to Iowa State in 2004 and 2005.
The Cyclones went a combined 9-3 at
home during those seasons. If nothing
else, Iowa State is disciplined and has a
dangerous punt returner although
hes had few opportunities this season.
The Cyclones are frst in the Big 12,
averaging only 34.8 yards in penalties
per game while punt return man
Ryan Baum is frst in the confer-
ence and ffth in the country,
averaging 17.3 yards per return.
Hes also run one punt back for a
touchdown on only 12 attempts
barely more than one return
per game.
Iowa State was a contender
to win the Big 12 North if it
could have survived its early
conference schedule against
Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma
and Texas Tech in a fve-week
period. Iowa State failed, going
1-4 during that span, with their
only victory coming against
Northern Iowa, 28-27, between
the Texas and Nebraska games.
The Cyclones havent won since
and, at 3-6 overall and 0-5 in
conference, are well on their
way to fnishing in the base-
ment of the Big 12.
5 Iowa State is tied with
Kansas for last in the Big 12 with
a -5 turnover margin.
32.5 Running back Stevie
Hicks and wide receiver Jon
Davis, who will be inactive
tomorrow, have accounted for
32.5 percent of Iowa States
total ofense.
100 The Cyclones have
allowed 100 more points this
season than theyve scored,
279-179.
116 Total tackles by line-
backer Alvin Bowen, which is
tops in the nation.
36,384 The lowest atten-
dance at an Iowa State home
game since 2000, which came
in 2004 when the Cyclones
hosted the Jayhawks.
Wide receiver Todd Blythe.
Unlike his quarterback, Blythe
has lived up to his preseason
All-Big 12
billing. With
42 points
scored, hes
accounted
for nearly 25
percent of
Iowa States
points this
season. Blythe has been listed
as Iowa States No. 1 receiver
this week, so he should be back
in the starting lineup.
Can things get any worse for
quarterback Bret Meyer?
Selected all-conference frst
team, Meyer has not performed
up to par. His completion per-
centage is decent at 56.6, but
hes thrown 10 interceptions.
To make matters worse, his line
isnt helping. Hes being sacked
more than three times a game
and was sacked 11 times the
last two games combined. Oh
yeah, hell be without his start-
ing running back and one of his
starting receivers on Saturday.
Kansas ended its four-game
losing streak, defeating Colo-
rado last weekend. With three
games left, the Jayhawks must
win two of those three to qual-
ify for a bowl game. Kansas next
two games against Iowa State
and Kansas State will be its best
chance to get six wins. A loss
against either team will force
Kansas to defeat Missouri in Co-
lumbia. With Iowa State being
winless in conference play, this
is the Jayhawks best shot to win
a road game this season.
7 straight road losses, dating
back to last season.
3-23 Mark Manginos record
in road games.
3 touchdowns accounted for
by quarterback Todd Reesing
against Colorado.
0 touchdowns allowed by
the Jayhawk defense against
the Bufaloes.
115.7 Jon Cornishs average
yards per game this season.
Quarterback Kerry Meier. Even
though coach Mark Mangino
hasnt named a starter for
Saturdays game against Iowa
State, theres
a chance
f r e s h ma n
quarterback
Kerry Meier
could return
to the lineup.
With Meier in
as the starter,
the ofense
has been efective, especially
running the football. Despite
freshman Todd Reesings per-
formance last week, Meier gives
this team the best chance to win.
A healthy Meier should mean a
second-straight victory.
Who will start at quarter-
back?
No one knows who exactly
will be in the starting lineup at
quarterback, but the safe bet
is either Kerry Meier or Todd
Reesing. Based on experience
and, if healthy, Meier gives Kan-
sas the best chance to win its
frst road game of the season.
Although Reesing looked im-
pressive in one-half of play, its
still uncertain if hell be rattled
on the road.

by Shawn Shroyer
Meier
Blythe
Ofense
Kansas quarterback carousel took another turn last week-
end with the addition of Todd Reesing to the circus. No mat-
ter who starts, the Jayhawks must run the football. Senior
Jon Cornish is having the best season a Jayhawk has had in
a decade. Cornish must touch the ball a lot. Use the run-
ning game to control the clock and keep the defense of the
feld. If Kansas can do that, look for the Jayhawks to get their
second-straight win.
Defense
Kansas defense faces an Iowa State ofense that has been
decimated by injuries at key positions. The Cyclones will
likely be without starters at wide receiver and running back.
Throughout the conference season, Iowa States ofense has
struggled to score. Without his playmakers, the Jayhawks
should force Cyclone quarterback Bret
Meyer to make the plays himself. As long as
Kansas can contain Meyer, its unlikely the
backups should beat them.
Momentum
It took a month, but Kansas
fnally got its frst conference
win of the season. The next big
step is for the Jayhawks to stop
their seven-game road losing
streak. If Kansas hopes to qual-
ify for a bowl game for the sec-
ond-straight season, one of those
two remaining wins will have to
come on the road. The disappoint-
ing part about Kansas road struggles
is that the Jayhawks have blown leads
in every loss. A win Saturday would set
up the most important Sunfower Show-
down of the Mark Mangino era.

No. 18 Oklahoma (6-2, 3-1) at No. 21 Texas A&M (8-1, 4-1),
Saturday 7 p.m. on ABC
The marquee game of the weekend for the Big 12 features two teams
fghting to keep their Big 12 Championship hopes alive. While Texas A&M
controls its own destiny, Oklahoma needs to win out the rest of the sea-
son and get some help from Texas remaining opponents.
Oklahoma was dominant on the road last week against a ranked
Missouri team. After trailing 3-0 for most of the frst quarter, the Soon-
ers went on a 26-7 run. Allen Patrick continued to impress at running
back, going over the century mark for the second time in as many
starts.
No stranger to running the ball itself, Texas A&M enters Saturdays
game averaging 213.7 rushing yards per game, good for frst in the Big
12 and eighth in the country. Spearheading the Aggie running game is
running back Jorvorskie Lane, who is second in the nation in scoring,
averaging 11.3 yards per game.
Missouri (7-2, 3-2) at Nebraska (6-3, 3-2),
Saturday 11 a.m. on ABC
Missouri and Nebraska lost last weekend, dropping from the AP Top
25 poll, but one of them has to win this week and the winner will take the
lead in the North and likely re-enter the Top 25 rankings.
Saturday will be Homecoming for Nebraska and former Cornhusker
defensive end Mike Rucker is supposed to be in attendance to watch his
little brother, Missouri tight end Martin Rucker. Unfortunately for Nebras-
ka, it wont have the elder Rucker to harass Missouri quarterback Chase
Daniel. Daniel is second in the Big 12 and seventh in the nation with 289.9
total yards of ofense per game.
The Tigers were held to a third of their average points per game against
Oklahoma last week and wont get much of a break this week. Nebraska is
only giving up two more points per game than Oklahoma and the Black-
shirts will certainly have a chip on their shoulder after allowing 21 points
in the fourth quarter of a 41-29 loss to Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma State (5-3, 2-2) at No. 4 Texas (8-1, 5-0),
Saturday 6 p.m. on TBS
When these two teams met last season, Oklahoma State became the
frst school to seriously threaten Texas undefeated record, taking a 28-12
lead into halftime. Texas has the home feld advantage this year, but the
Longhorns havent played with the same authority this season.
Two weeks ago, Texas let Nebraska score 13 points and take the lead in
the fourth quarter before the Longhorns pulled ahead in the fnal minute.
Last week, Texas trailed Texas Tech 31-21 at halftime and didnt lead in the
game until the fourth quarter.
Facing a pass defense that ranks 11th in the Big 12 and 112th in the
nation, Oklahoma State quarterback Bobby Reid must get hot early and
stay hot in the second half. Reid is leading the conference and is third in
the country with a 177.4 pass efciency rating. One reason why is wide
receiver Adarius Bowman, who has 10 touchdowns this season and is the
only Big 12 receiver averaging more than 100 yards per game.
