randon Beckner has pledged not
to eat or drink anything from
sunrise to sunset Wednesday. He
said he wanted the experience so
he could better understand what hungry
people went through on a daily basis.
Beckner, Glencoe, Ill., freshman, signed
up for Fast-A-Thon, an annual event spon-
sored by the Muslim Student Association.
The MSA invites non-Muslim students to
fast with the group for one day during
Ramadan, the holy month when Muslims
fast during the day.
Ala Abdel, Tulkrem, Palestine, junior and
president of MSA, said Fast-A-Thon would
be a good opportunity for students to learn
more about Islam and to experience an
important event in Muslim culture. He also
said the event would increase awareness of
poverty and hunger in the world.
Emam Shaiwani, Olathe senior and MSA
member, said she had a better perspective
of what hungry people must go through
every day. She said she didnt ask people not
to eat in front of her.
Thats part of it. Thats what a hungry per-
son goes through, Shaiwani said. They are
amongst the people who are eating in front
of them, but its like, I cant have that because
I cant afford it, so they watch it too. Why
should I be distinguished from that person?
The MSA asked local businesses to spon-
sor students participating in Fast-A-Thon.
Each business pledged a certain amount of
money for each student that will attempt
to fast for the day. All donations will go to
the Lawrence Community Shelter. Last year
more than 400 students participated and
the event raised about $1,500 in donations.
MSA volunteers will cook a traditional
Middle Eastern dinner for participants to
eat when they break their fast at sundown
on Wednesday.
Samia Javed, St. Louis senior, will help
cook for the meal. She said fasting was a
cleansing experience that made her think
about those less fortunate than herself. She
said on a mental level, it made her think
twice about her actions and her intentions.
Its not as hard as it seems, Javed said. Its
a chance to step into someone elses shoes and
analyze yourself, which is something a lot of
people dont take the time to do.

Thon can visit www.msaku.com.

Flurries of pink ribbons decorate campus
as Breast Cancer Awareness Week begins.
The Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center
is sponsoring an awareness week, and has
scheduled several events throughout the week
to inform students about the disease and to
raise money towards research for a cure.
A softball tournament over the weekend
already raised more than $5,000 dollars in
donations. Future events include a 5K run/
walk and a day for students to get their por-
traits taken in exchange for donations.
All proceeds will go towards the Susan G.
Komen Foundation, a network of breast cancer
survivors dedicated to fighting the disease.
Kansas 4-0 start to the football season
has the team in position to become bowl-
eligible for the fourth time in five years. Four
blowout wins came at the expense of inferior
competition: Those teams currently have a
combined record of 4-15.
Larry Keating, senior associate athletics
director, who is in charge of scheduling non-
conference matchups, said Kansas played
four home games out of conference as a
result of circumstance. The Jayhawks plan to
play three home games and one road game in
future nonconference schedules.
Two years ago, after having two noncon-
ference games for 2007 already scheduled
Toledo and Central Michigan Florida
International canceled a 2006 game and
agreed to play two games in Lawrence, one
this season and one next season.
The effect was that Kansas had three
home nonconference games lined up for 2007
before even scheduling an FCS opponent.
The Athletics Department and Joe-
College.com did not reach an agreement
during their mediation Friday.
The department filed a lawsuit against
Joe-College.com, a downtown cloth-
ing store, in March, claiming the stores
shirts violated University trademarks. Joe-
College.com shirts feature sayings such
as Muck Fizzou and pictures of sperm
representing Kansas swimming.
Larry Sinks, owner of Joe College, said
his store never infringed on any University
trademarks. He said his shirts included
only Kansas and never used University of
Kansas or Jayhawk.
Judy Pottorff, corporate counsel for the
department, said Joe College did not have
a license to produce apparel.
The case is scheduled to go to trial in
early January.

middle of the lecture hall, this girl
got up and said, I got filibustered
all night long, and everyone in the
room started laughing.
Remember any crazy moments
while you were in college? There
was this one night I was asleep in
my dorm room and this guy was
pounding on all the doors on my
floor saying Norm. He was looking
for a guy named Norm on my floor.
When he found him he said, Norm,
you peed on me. Apparently they

the guy had passed out in this area
where they had used the restroom.
There was a big argument about it at
4 a.m. It was pretty crazy.

They should have to follow rules

and Matt Behrs take it as a sign
they were meant to get married.
After tying the knot on a Lake
Michigan beach on Aug. 18, they
released a bottle containing their
wedding vows. A few weeks later,
the bottle was found by Fred and
Lynnette Dubendorf, of Mears,
Mich., who were also married
on a beach exactly 28 years
before Kloska and Behrs.
It was meant to be, Kloska
said. This was a sign to me.
Kloska, 46, and Behrs, 41,
have been together for fve
years, but with several failed
marriages between them, they
had doubts about remarrying.
When it was time to throw the
bottle sealed with their name,
address and wedding vows into
the lake, Behrs went to the rock
farthest out in the water.
The bottle landed across Lake
Michigan, where Lynnette spied it
while walking her dogs. She wrote
Kloska and Behrs to tell them.

Pink ribbons abound this week
as students observe Breast Cancer
Awareness Week. The Emily Taylor
Womens Resource Center is offer-
ing several events to give students
the opportunity to benefit breast
cancer research.
Stefani Gerson, Overland Park
graduate student and intern at the
center, coordinated a breast cancer
awareness committee. She said she
and other members of the commit-
tee had been affected by loved ones
dealing with breast cancer.
When youre passionate about
something, you want to do it right,
Gerson said. I wanted to make it
as big as possible, a massive event. I
just kind of blew it up.
Last year, the center reached its
goal of raising $1,200 to benefit breast
cancer research. This year, Gerson
said she wanted to set the bar higher.
Her committee already has received
more than $5,000 from its first event.
The money raised so far has
come strictly from donations made
during the first Jayhawk Pink
Classic softball tournament, which
was held on Saturday and Sunday.
The Kansas softball team played
Emporia State, Iowa Central and
Washburn at Arrocha Ballpark.
Players wore pink hair bands and
arm bands, and the bases were col-
ored pink to echo the pink ribbon
symbol that has come to represent
breast cancer awareness.
On Wednesday, the committee
will give students the opportunity
to get their portraits taken with a
pink backdrop for a small donation
during an event they call Picture
Perfect Pink. The pictures will be
taken on the fourth floor of the
Kansas Union.
The second annual Jayhawk
5K Run/Walk for Breast Cancer
Awareness will wrap up the weeks
events on Sunday. Participants can
register before the race at www.
myappleku.com. Offline registration
will start at 1 p.m. on Sunday, and
the race will begin at 2 p.m. at the
Burge Union.
Participants will get the opportu-
nity to win prizes donated by Apple
and free sports massages after the
race. The organizers request a dona-
tion of $5 to participate in the race,
and T-shirts will be available for an
additional $5. All proceeds from
Breast Cancer Awareness Week
will benefit the Susan G. Komen
Foundation, a network of breast
cancer survivors dedicated to con-
tributing to breast cancer research.
According to the National Breast
Cancer Awareness Month Web
site, there are more than 2 million
women living in the United States
who have been treated for breast
cancer. This year 40,460 women will
die from the disease.
Tiffany Spriggs, Princeton,
W.Va., graduate student and aware-
ness committee member, said stu-
dents could show their support in
other ways aside from donating
money.
I know most students dont have
a lot of money, and they might not
be able to donate, she said. But
it can help just to attend all of the
events.
Will Sellers, Sterling, Va., senior,
said students should take the oppor-
tunity to support those dealing with
the common disease. He agreed that
donating money was not the only
way to help.
Just show you care by coming
out to events and wearing the rib-
bons, Sellers said.

A 4-0 start to the football season
has quelled Kansas fans criticisms
about the ease of the nonconference
schedule, the way Larry Keating sees
it. Keating, senior associate athletics
director, said most fans were happy
to have the team on track to bowl
eligibility.
There are far more Kansas fans
that enjoy the fact that we are win-
ning and playing at home than there
are upset about the quality of the
teams, Keating said. The four non-
conference games have provided us a
base for a successful season.
Although the strength of Kansas
nonconference schedule has been
weak the four teams currently
have a combined record of 4-15
the Jayhawks have positioned them-
selves to becoming bowl eligible for
the fourth time
in five years.
I think it is
better to play
easier teams,
because at the
end of the season
it will allow you
to advance to the
postseason, said
Carissa Osner,
Conway Springs
junior. Basically,
we will be better
off in the end.
Division FBS, formerly I-A, teams
can become bowl eligible with six
victories. Schools with six victories
can fulfill conference agreements
with bowl games, but must wait
behind teams with seven or more
victories during at-large selections.
Kansas missed a bowl last year after
finishing 6-6.
Seven wins would have gotten
us a bowl spot last year, Associate
Athletics Director Jim Marchiony
said. If you arent selected for a con-
ference-affiliated bowl there is noth-
ing you can do as a six-win team.
Keating, who is in charge of
scheduling nonconference matchups,
said a unique set of circumstances
allowed Kansas to play four non-
conference home games. Keatings
original plan was to play three home
games and one road game. Two years
ago, after having two nonconfer-
ence games for 2007 already sched-
uled, against Toledo and Central
Michigan, Florida International
canceled a 2006 tilt between the
two schools and agreed to play two
games in Lawrence one in 2007
and 2008.
So we had three home games
and we still hadnt done our DI-AA
game, Keating said. If you had
asked us a year ago at this time, I
would have told you we would play
three home and one away game.
Because one game with a Division
FCS, formerly I-AA, opponent can
count toward bowl eligibility each
year and because those games are
cheaper to play and against easier
competition, it has become common
practice to schedule them. Keating
said Kansas planned to continue
scheduling one per year.
Toledo owed Kansas a game this
year to complete a previous two-
for-one contract, which brought the
Rockets to Lawrence in 2004 and
sent the Jayhawks to Toledo last
season. The contract called for a
payment of $125,000 to cover the
road teams traveling expenses for
each of the first two games, and a
$300,000 payment to Toledo for this
seasons game.
The Central Michigan contest
was scheduled six years ago, before
Keating and the
current admin-
istration came
to Kansas. The
game should
have been played
in 2003, but was
postponed at
the Chippewas
request. Kansas
paid CMU the
same $300,000
they had agreed
to originally.
Five years ago, the whole scene
was a lot different, Keating said.
You cant get a game for $300,000
today. You are lucky if you can get a
game for $500,000 today.
FIUs original contract called for
a $400,000 guarantee for one game
to be played in 2006 at Memorial
Stadium. After FIU canceled that
game to open a spot on the schedule
to play in-town rival Miami, Keating
negotiated to play FIU in 2007 and
2008 for $250,000 each game.
That left only one spot on the
schedule. Keating quickly signed a
deal with Division FCS Southeastern
Louisiana for $275,000.
Although some fans would like to
see a marquee opponent on the non-
conference slate, Keating said one of
his primary jobs through the sched-
ule was giving the team a chance to
make a bowl game.
I dont think it would do any
good to play four games that this
fan looks at and says, Oh that was
great to see X-team come in, and
we go 2-2 and dont make a bowl,
Keating said. I think making a bowl
is very important to making a pro-
gram. Our schedule is anchored in
the Big 12, and that is what is really
important.

The Athletics Department and down-
town T-shirt store Joe-College.com did
not reach an agreement during a media-
tion Friday concerning the Universitys
trademark infringement lawsuit. The
trial is still scheduled for early January.
Mediations are confidential, so nei-
ther side could give specific details
about what was discussed during the
mediation session. The session started
Friday morning and lasted several
hours.
We did not come to an agreement,
and were going to wait for a judges
ruling, said Judy Pottorff, corporate
counsel for the Athletics Department.
We have several motions that were
going to put before the judge.
A motion is a request to a judge to
give a ruling on a legal matter. A judge
can prevent a case from going to trial by
issuing rulings. Pottorff declined to say
what motions the Athletics Department
asked the judge to consider But she said
the Athletics Department expected the
judge to make a decision about the
motions soon. Larry Sinks, Joe-College.
com owner, said he thought the case
would go to trial.
The Athletics Department original-
ly filed the lawsuit in March. Associate
Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said
the University believed Joe-College.
com inappropriately used its trade-
marks and sued the business to protect
them. Some of Joe-Colleges T-shirt
designs feature slogans such as Muck
Fizzou and Lawrence, a Drinking
Town with a Basketball Problem.
Sinks said his store didnt infringe
on the Universitys trademarks. He said
his shirts featured the name Kansas
but never featured trademarks such as
University of Kansas or Jayhawk.
Thousands of companies sell shirts
with Kansas on them, Sinks said, and
Im the only one being sued. I mean,
thats our state. Does that mean the other
university is going to have to go by State
University? Theres a music group called
Kansas. Are they going to sue them?
Pottorff said the University took
action against Joe-College.com
and not other companies that used
Kansas or Jayhawk because Joe-
College.com produced apparel, and
the University has licenses for apparel.
She said Joe-College.coms apparel
was in direct competition with the
Athletics Department.
The start of the trial cant come
soon enough for Sinks. He said he had
received plenty of community support
but was having trouble covering all the
court costs.
Theyve tried to make me go
broke, Sinks said, and theyve done
an OK job. Ive had to dip into my
own childrens college funds. We want
to win the suit. We want to keep Joe
College open.

ASSOcIATED PRESS
TORONTO A judge acquit-
ted three doctors, a New Jersey
company and a former Red Cross
official of criminal charges Monday
in a tainted-blood scandal that
infected thousands of Canadians
with HIV or hepatitis and resulted
in more than 3,000 deaths.
Toronto Superior Court Justice
Mary Lou Benotto ruled that the
defendants did not show conduct
displaying wanton and reckless
disregard in the use of the blood
and that there was no marked
departure from the standards of a
reasonable person.
The allegations of criminal
conduct on the part of these men
and this corporation were not
only unsupported by the evidence,
they were disproved. The events
here were tragic, the judge said.
However, to assign blame where
none exists is to compound the
tragedy.
John Plater of the Canadian
Hemophilia Society expressed
bewilderment at the verdict, ques-
tioning how the judge could sug-
gest that the defendants actions
were somehow professional and
reasonable.
The case involved blood prod-
ucts produced by New Jersey-
based Armour Pharmaceutical Co.
in the 1980s and early 1990s that
turned out to be infected. Also
charged were Dr. Roger Perrault of
the Red Cross; Dr. John Furesz and
Dr. Donald Wark Boucher, former-
ly of Canadas Health Protection
Branch, and Dr. Michael Rodell, a
former vice president of Armour.
Perrault pleaded not guilty to
criminal negligence causing bodily
harm for allegedly giving hemo-
philia patients an HIV-infected
blood-clotting product. The other
doctors and the drug company also
pleaded not guilty. Lawyers argued
that prosecutors didnt present
enough evidence to prove its case.
A second trial for Perrault is set
to begin later this year in Hamilton,
Ontario, where he will face more
criminal charges alleging that the
Red Cross and its senior officials
failed to take adequate measures to
screen blood donors.
The Canadian Red Cross
pleaded guilty in 2005 to distribut-
ing blood tainted with HIV and
hepatitis C and was fined 5,000
Canadian dollars, now about
$5,000. The Red Cross apologized
and provided 1.5 million Canadian
dollars for a scholarship fund and
research project for reducing med-
ical errors.
The Canadian Red Cross no
longer has control of the Canadian
blood supply for all provinces
except Quebec.

Porn star Ron Jeremy squared
off against recovering porn addict
Michael Leahy last night in the
Great Porn Debate at Washburn
University in Topeka.
Jeremy, who has starred in more
than 1,800 adult films in his 29-year
career, defended the porn industry
against accusations that the industry
uses the Internet to market to children.
Jeremy said that he did not repre-
sent all adult films, only the films done
under unions, which are careful to not
hire people who are younger than 18 to
participate in films. He also said that the
porn industry did not target children.
Id be the first person to prosecute
it, Jeremy said. Were against that. We
want consenting adults having con-
sensual sex. Were not advertising on
billboards outside elementary schools.
Leahy said that the porn industry
allowed minors to view Web sites
with easy loops to get through, such
as the ability to easily lie about age in
order to view the site.
Leahy spoke about what he called
his sexual addiction, which he said
was the largest addiction in the coun-
try and cost him his 15-year marriage,
his relationship with his children and a
business partnership with his brother.
Sexual addiction is really an inti-
macy problem, Leahy said. A big
part of this recovery is just being
honest to myself and others.
My problem is not so much
with the porn industry but with the
Fortune 500 companies who use sex
to promote products, Leahy said.
He said that he had to censor
what he watched on mainstream
television, and he cut himself off
entirely from cable television and the
Internet for his first year of recov-
ery.
Jeremy, who said that he respected
Leahys addiction and realized that he
cannot view pornography, said that he
did not agree with Leahys view that the
industry fosters addictions such as his.
You dont take an entire industry
and blame it as a whole because a few
people had problems with it, Jeremy
said. To me, porn is just this simple: If
you want to laugh, watch Monty Python.
If you want to get a little excited, watch a
late night film on HBO or Cinemax.
Mike Ditch, Washburn senior and
executive director of campus activi-
ties, said that Washburn paid $14,000
for Jeremy and Leahy to speak. He
said that Washburn decided to bring
the pair in for a discussion because
Internet porn was relevant to college
students.
We figured we could use this as a
stepping stone to get a debate start-
ed, Ditch said. We knew it would
reach a wide range of students.
Shane Turben, Topeka resident and
Washburn alumnus, said that he attended
the debate because he was a fan of Ron
Jeremy and wanted to see him in person.
Im more of a believer that any
addiction is more from your own
personal patterns, Turben said.
Jeremy and Leahy have gone to
several institutions throughout the
country to discuss the porn industry.
They are scheduled to speak at Central
Washington University on Oct. 18 and
Southern Illinois University on Jan. 28,
2008.
Leahy is speaking Wednesday at 7:30
p.m. in 120 Budig Hall to give a presen-
tation entitled Porn Nation.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. The
highest-ranking U.S. soldier con-
victed of abusing detainees at Abu
Ghraib prison in Iraq was paroled
Monday from military prison in
Fort Leavenworth, Kan., his lawyer
said.
Former Army Reserve Staff Sgt.
Ivan L. Chip Frederick Jr. served
about three years of an eight-year
sentence for actions that included
placing wires in a detainees hands
and telling him he would be elec-
trocuted if he fell off a box.
Frederick is among 12 U.S.
soldiers convicted in the scandal
that erupted in April 2004 with
the release of pictures of grinning
U.S. soldiers posing with detainees,
some naked, being held on leashes
or in painful and sexually humiliat-
ing positions.
Frederick, 40, of Buckingham,
Va., declined interview requests
made through defense attorney
Gary Myers and family members.
Were just elated that hes coming
home, his sister Miriam Frederick
said in a telephone interview.
Myers said Fredericks coopera-
tion with prosecutors, including his
testimony at the trial in August of
final Abu Ghraib defendant Lt. Col.
Steven L. Jordan, aided in his early
release.
Chip Frederick was never a bad
apple as the Army tried to portray
him, Myers said in an e-mailed
statement to The Associated Press.
Frederick recognized that he had
done wrong and, like the decent
man that he is, pleaded guilty to
some of the charges against him.
Myers said Fredericks pros-
ecution was a political attempt to
shift blame from former Defense
Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and
other high-ranking government
officials whom Myers said had cre-
ated an environment in which the
Geneva Conventions were disre-
garded and misconduct was allowed
in the name of national security.
Frederick, of the 372nd Military
Police Company of Cresaptown,
Md., supervised the night shift
in the prisons hard site, where
detainees deemed to be of high
intelligence value were held. At
his court-martial in Baghdad in
October 2004, Frederick admitted
placing the wires in the hooded
detainees hands; forcing another,
naked detainee to masturbate while
soldiers photographed him; jump-
ing and stomping on a pile of seven
detainees accused of rioting; and
punching a detainee in the chest so
hard he needed medical attention.
I knew it was wrong at the time
because I knew it was a form of
abuse, Frederick, a former Virginia
state correctional officer, said at
his court-martial. He testified then,
and again at Jordans trial in August,
that at least some of the abuse, such
as threatening the man with elec-
trocution, stripping male prison-
ers and covering their heads with
womens underwear, was directed
by military and civilian interroga-
tors.
Frederick pleaded guilty to con-
spiracy, dereliction of duty, mal-
treatment of detainees, assault
and committing an indecent act.
Prosecutors dropped several other
charges in a plea deal.
Frederick is among 11 enlisted
soldiers convicted in the scandal.
Jordan, the only officer charged,
was acquitted of abuse charges but
convicted of disobeying a generals
order not to communicate with
others about a subsequent investi-
gation of the abuse.

ASSociATEd PRESS
MOSCOW President Vladimir
Putin, in a surprise announcement,
opened the door Monday to becom-
ing Russias prime minister and
retaining power when his presiden-
tial term ends next year.
The popular Putin is barred from
seeking a third consecutive term in
the March presidential election, but
has strongly indicated he would seek
to keep a hand on Russias reins after
he steps down.
Putins remarks Monday at a con-
gress of the dominant, Kremlin-con-
trolled United Russia party hint at
a clear scenario in which he could
remake himself as a powerful prime
minister and eclipse a weakened
president.
Putin, 54, told United Russia that
his name will top its ticket in Dec.
2 parliamentary elections a huge
show of support from a president
who has always sought to remain
above the grit of party politics.
He called a proposal that he
become prime minister entirely
realistic, but added that it was still
too early to think about it. For him
to consider it, he said, first United
Russia would have to win the elec-
tions and Russia elect as president a
decent, competent, effective, mod-
ern person with whom it would be
possible to work in tandem.
Putins name on the ticket will
make the first task much easier.
Laden with top officials who can
use the media, law enforcement
and other levers to pressure oppo-
nents and influence voting, the
party already has a huge advantage.
And Putins powerful support could
ensure it retains the two-thirds
majority needed in the State Duma,
or lower house of parliament, to
approve changes in the constitution.
Putins move points to the pos-
sibility that the constitution could
be changed to shift power from the
presidency to the government, which
he would lead as prime minister.
The most logical way for
Putins team to fulfill its main goal
to step down but stay in power
is to change the constitution to
strengthen the prime minister and
his Cabinet, political analyst Dmitry
Oreshkin said in an interview. The
president would become a decora-
tive figure.
Former chess champion Garry
Kasparov, a fierce Putin critic cho-
sen by his opposition alliance this
weekend to run against the Kremlin-
backed presidential candidate in
March, said Putins move displayed
the anti-democratic and anti-con-
stitutional nature of this whole elec-
toral process.
In fact, Putin has done noth-
ing more than decide to use United
Russia as the main mechanism for
retaining power, Kasparov told
Ekho Moskvy radio.
While transferring power from
the president to the prime minister
would on the surface suggest a major
change in the political system, the
chief editor of Ekho Moskvy radio
said it would make little difference
in reality, comparing Putins power
to that of the czars or the Soviet-era
Communist Party chiefs.
In Russia as before a
regime of personal power has been
established: The power of one per-
son, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin,
and whether he is called president
or prime minister ... is meaningless,
Alexei Venediktov said.
He said the power could be effec-
tively shifted to the prime minister
without touching the constitution,
by changing a law to transfer power
over the Defense Ministry and law
enforcement from president to pre-
mier.
There are no term limits on the
premier, and the prime minister
replaces the president if he dies or is
incapacitated.
Oreshkin said Putins ecision to
lead United Russia into the elections
ensured that he would not become a
lame duck ahead of the presidential
vote.

Court ruling forces Britney
to give Federline custody
LOS ANGELES Britney
Spears was ordered Monday to
surrender custody of her children
to ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Superior Court Judge Scott
M. Gordon ruled that Federline
would take custody of Sean
Preston, 2, and Jayden James,
1, beginning Wednesday until
further order of the court.
The order stemmed from an
unspecifed oral motion made
by Federlines attorneys and was
handled in a closed-door hearing.
The judges order didnt state the
reason for the change in custody,
and all transcripts of the proceed-
ings were ordered sealed.
Phone messages left for repre-
sentatives of Spears and Federline
were not immediately returned
Monday.
Last month, Gordon said
Spears engaged in habitual,
frequent and continuous use
of controlled substances and
alcohol. He ordered the pop star
to undergo random drug and al-
cohol testing twice a week as part
of her ongoing custody dispute
with Federline.
Spears also was previously
ordered to meet weekly with
a parenting coach who was
to observe and report back to
the court about her parenting
skills. Both Spears and Feder-
line must complete the courts

class.
An MTV Video Music Awards
performance last month meant
to herald Spears comeback was
universally panned. The follow-
ing week, Spears management
frm dropped her, and her divorce
lawyer resigned.
She then was charged with
misdemeanor counts of hit-and-
run and driving without a valid
license in August.

Monday he would lead the dominant United Russia partys ticket in December parliamentary elec-

TONIA BLAIR
entertainment 6a TUESDAY, ocTobEr 2, 2007
T
he weekend before last,
I had the opportunity
to attend my frst KU
football game against Florida
International. The weekend pri-
or to my frst KU game, I had the
unfortunate experience of my
frst K-State game. Comparison
was inevitable with such close
proximity in time. After some
frst impressions and much de-
liberation afterward, shame on
you Jayhawks. Shame on you.
Ive never been a diehard
fan of the sport in general; I
see it more as an occasional
form of drunken entertainment
rather than a weekend fxture.
Both KU and K-State faced off
against veritable high school
teams, so the games were not
on either sides games to
watch list. That is no excuse,
though, for piss poor fans.
My friends at K-State are
all very aware that I go to KU
(and trust me, they dont let
me forget it). Even though
I was a stranger to K-States
game chants and groans, they
taught me every last one until I
had them down pat. For a split
second, I had a notion of what
all the fuss was about.
The K-State crowd went cra-
zy at every fumble, interception
and touchdown. Ive never seen
more middle fngers fy up in the
air in the course of one event.
Their cheers were unoriginal in
content but the enthusiasm the
crowd put forth made them a K-
State chant, not a clich football
chant.
KUs crowd was amused at
best. There were some hardcore
Jayhawkers in the crowd, but, in
general, indifference seemed the
crowds greatest concern. Most
would give an enthused yell
when KU would score a touch-
down or give a half-hearted boo
when something did not go in
KUs favor. Some, though, gave
the half-assed golf clap and
checked their phone to see if
their other bored friend texted
them back yet.
Sure, both KU and K-State
jingle their keys (for reasons
I am still unaware). And I was
taken aback when KU chanted
their Rip their effn heads off
cheer, but that was the most en-
thusiasm that could be observed
throughout the entire game.
It could be assumed that the
Jayhawks record at the end of
the season is not at the top of
most students priorities. It also
could be said, though, that KUs
pride is at the top of all students
main concern while attending
college. When that pride is ex-
pressed through a golf clap, it
not only damages the spirits of
the diehard football fanatics, it
damages the spirit of the Uni-
versity.
From an outsider looking in,
those Wildcats have got us beat.
There was one experience at
the K-State game, though, that
refutes the previous statement.
Near the end of the Wildcats
video montage of the players
and the team, there was footage
of a pig wearing a K-State jersey
with the American fag waving
in the background.
Not to say that K-State doesnt
lack class, but a pigs a pig in my
book. Maybe the Jayhawks need
to get drunker before the game
or fnd other forms of stimula-

High tuition rates unfair
to out-of-state students
Decreasing tuition costs for non-Kansans would
draw more applicants and increase revenue
L
ast year, as a freshman
living in the residence
halls, I remember be-
ing shocked that so many of
my fellow hallmates were from
out-of-state. After seeing many
out-of-state tuition prices, leav-
ing Kansas had barely been an
option for me. Yet, even as a
Kansan with the much lower in-
state tuition price, I remember
sharing in their outrage about
out-of-state tuition.
It seems highly unjust that the
Missouri state border can mean
a difference of thousands of
dollars for the exact same edu-
cation. In order to help out-of-
state students, a reduced tuition
should be granted to nonresident
students living within a certain
distance of the University.
According to a recent article
by Christopher Morfew in the
Chronicle of Higher Education,
students are fnding it diffcult, if
not impossible, to attend public
colleges and universities outside
their states because those insti-
tutions are charging skyrocket-
ing tuitions for nonresidents.
This statement is certainly rep-
resentative of KU. According to
the KU Web site for this year, in-
state tuition is about $2,900 per
semester, while out-of-state tu-
ition is $7,700, more than dou-
ble that of in-state. This huge
gap between resident and non-
resident prices seems slightly
ridiculous when some out-of-
state students live so close to
the University. Sometimes for
students the closest university is
in fact in another state, and pub-
lic universities should account
for this fact.
State borders are dividing
lines, but they are not walls
splitting apart our country.
We are all one unit. Therefore,
state borders should not be ob-
stacles for students. Article
4, Section 2 of the Constitu-
tion states, The Citizens of
each State shall be entitled
to all Privileges and Immuni-
ties of Citizens in the several
States. One of those privi-
leges should be higher educa-
tion. Universities should not
use state borders as a way to
exploit students.
Even if a student wanted
to try to avoid these outrageous
out-of-state tuition prices by
establishing residency in a new
state, it is very diffcult to do so.
In fact, it is practically impos-
sible to establish residency for
tuition purposes while going
to school. Many states, includ-
ing Nebraska, Colorado, Mis-
souri and Kansas all require that
you live in the state for twelve
months before attending school.
Only after that time can you
claim in-state tuition.
If money is the problem
(when is money not a problem),
giving out-of-state students re-
duced tuition would not have
to create money issues for the
University. According to Mike
Pitts, director of admissions at
East Tennessee State University,
when the university frst started
offering tuition breaks for out-
of-state students within various
counties of Virginia and North
Carolina, the school needed 130
students in order to not lose
money. Some 184 new students
ended up enrolling, giving the
university a much larger proft
than in previous years. In this
way, KU could in fact beneft
from charging certain out-of-
state students a reduced tuition
rate.
Being so close to the Missouri
border, many students at KU are
affected by the costly out-state-
tuition price. While I am not
one of them, I cant help but feel
guilty about the injustice of the
fact that I am receiving the same
education as other students for
half the price. After all, these
students may not be Kansans,
but each one is as much of a
Jayhawk as I am.

Fort Hays State University must keep its name
History combined with popular support give meaning to the universitys moniker
W
e support the fac-
ulty and student
body of Fort Hays
State University in their protest
against the renaming of their
Alma Mater.
Earlier this month, The Fort
Hays State Universitys Com-
mittee to Review and Rethink
the Structure of the University
(FHSUCRRSU) presented a
proposal that would in effect
change the name of our neigh-
bor to the far west to the Uni-
versity of Western Kansas, on
the grounds that Fort Hays
hasnt been a U.S. Military fort
since 1889 and no one outside
the state of Kansas knows where
Fort Hays is.
One group of opponents has
circulated a petition, gathering
the signatures of 250 students
who are against renaming the
college. Students and staff obvi-
ously care a great deal about the
name of their school when they
put forth effort to maintain the
status quo.
Fie on you, FHSUCRRSU.
In our opinion this trend of re-
naming universities smacks of
stupidity.
Of course, this wouldnt be
the frst time the college under-
went a name change. Since its
founding in 1902, the school
has had numerous monikers,
most of them much to long to
put on T-shirts.
At frst, it was the Western
Branch of the Kansas Normal
School of Emporia. Then it
became the Fort Hays Kansas
Normal School in 1914 and
then Kansas State Teachers Col-
lege of Hays in 1923. When the
awarding of liberal arts degrees
was approved in 1931, the name
was changed to Fort Hays State
College. Finally, it was elevated
to university status in 1977, thus
becoming our beloved FHSU.
A universitys name is no
small matter. It is an integral
part of student identity. To arbi-
trarily put a point of a compass
in a colleges name is quite un-
imaginative and, in this case, it is
ungracious to the history of the
locale. Besides being an impor-
tant setting in the flm Dances
With Wolves, Fort Hays was
key in the defense of the con-
struction of the transcontinen-
tal railway in the late 1860s. Its
name should be invoked with
pride. The universitys title has
a history associated with it, and
the opinion of its students, fac-
ulty and staff should carry con-
siderable weight when it comes
to any name changes. It does
no good to appeal to outsiders
when insiders are dissatisfed.
KU students would likely be
equally upset if a name change
were proposed here.
Nomenclature is an impor-
tant part of Fort Hays State
Universitys history and identity.
Leave it alone.

Were trying to present as many
problems as we can with differ-
ent personnel groups and different
schemes, Warinner said. Our phi-
losophy is to take
what the defense
gives us, and
thats what were
trying to do.
The pieces
All the cre-
ative schemes
and tricky forma-
tions in the world
would not be
much good with-
out versatile personnel something
Kansas has in spades, starting with
the quarterback.
The only predictable qual-
ity to sophomore Todd Reesings
2007 season has been his abil-
ity to make plays. How he makes
those plays changes regularly. In
his starting debut against Central
Michigan, Reesing did damage
with his arm, completing 20 of his
29 pass attempts. Two weekends
ago against Florida International,
Reesing got the job done with
his legs, rushing for 47 yards
and a touchdown. Both Mangino
and Warinner said Reesing had
exceeded their expectations this
season.
Todds playing pretty well right
now, Warinner said. Hes done a
good job. He has a good feel and is
comfortable within the system so
hes working well for us right now.
Reesing has plenty of versatile
receivers and backs to whom he
can distribute the ball. Senior tight
end Derek Fine
is not flashy,
but he is one
of the Big 12
Conf e r e nc es
best because
of his ability to
catch the ball
he has 16
receptions in
2007 and to
provide blocks
for the running
game. Senior
wide receiver Marcus Henry, who
stands 6-foot-5, has reeled in 21
receptions and gained nearly 19
yards per catch while showing
steady improvements.
I think if you look at Marcus the
last couple of years, hes been a reli-
able guy, Mangino said. Hes just
gotten a lot stronger and developed
a lot of confidence. Hes always been
a solid guy, but this year he knows its
his last opportunity and hes making
the most of it.
Once the pass sets up the run,
Kansas has two solid options.
Sophomore running back Jake
Sharp and senior running back
Brandon McAnderson have split
the load almost evenly and have
proven to be hard to contain.
Each is averaging more than six
yards per carry and is on pace for
more than 1,200 rushing yards
this season.
The producTion
Warinner and the coaching staff
evaluated the pieces they had to
work with on the Kansas roster, drew
up a plan to best utilize those pieces
and are now reaping the reward for
their labor the offensive produc-
tion.
The Jayhawks offensive num-
bers indicate a level of profi-
ciency that is difficult to com-
prehend. Kansas is ranked 12th
nationally in rushing yards per
game, 10th in passing yards per
game and third in total yards
per game. The Jayhawks have
scored the fourth most points per
game in the nation and boast the
18th-ranked turnover margin.
Individually, Reesing is ranked
10th in the country in passing
efficiency, and Henry is 13th in
receiving yards per game.
Has Warinners arrival lived up to
expectations? The blowout victories
and the smile on Warinners face
say yes.
Its very rewarding, Warinner
said. Its what Coach and I talked
about doing when I came in we
felt that if we could get all of our
ideas on the field and get the right
guys in the right situations we could
be pretty effective. At this point,
were pretty pleased with where were
at.

in The polls
The big upheaval that took
place among top-25 teams
during the weekend shifted
the Jayhawks standing in both
major polls. Kansas received three
votes in the AP poll this week,
down from six last week, placing
the team in a tie for 40th. In the
USA Today Coaches poll, Kansas
gained ground by earning 48
votes, up from last weeks total of
20, placing it 28th in the rankings.
USA Todays Sagarin computer
rankings did not shufe Kansas
too far, moving the team from
38th to 33rd. The computer rank-
ing system, which takes strength
of schedule and margin of victory
into account, ranks the Jayhawks
strength of schedule as the worst
of the 119 FBS teams.

Kansas not only will be facing
a talented Kansas State team this
weekend, but the Jayhawks also will
have to overcome history. The Wild-
cats moved into
the 24th spot in
the AP Top 25
poll last Sunday.
This might not
bode well for
the Jayhawks,
considering
Kansas is 23-137-
2 all-time against
teams ranked in the AP Top 25 and
7-65 in road games against Top 25

Sunfower Showdown series 63-36-5,
the Jayhawks have not defeated the
Wildcats since 1989 Kansas is 0-8
at Kansas State since then and 0-7
against ranked Wildcat teams. Kansas

could be the most substantial histori-
cal hurdle. Under Mangino, Kansas is

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Classes at
the University of Memphis were can-
celed Monday after a football player
was fatally shot on campus in what
school officials said was a targeted
attack but city police later said could
have been random.
By late Monday afternoon police
had not identified any suspects in
the slaying of Taylor Bradford, who
was shot about 9:45 p.m. Sunday,
apparently near a university housing
complex.
After the shooting, the 21-year-
old junior crashed a car he was driv-
ing into a tree. Police said they had
not determined whether he was shot
before or after he started driving the
vehicle.
Police were responding to a
car crash when Bradford was
found slumped over in the vehi-
cle on a campus street about
200 yards from his apartment
complex.
It wasnt until the paramedics
got there that they determined there
was a possible gunshot wound, said
Bruce Harber, director of university
police. He was apparently shot once,
police said, though an autopsy was
pending.
University President Shirley
Raines said authorities quickly
determined Bradfords killers were
not a threat to other students but
still banned all outsiders from
campus housing throughout the
night.
In an e-mail alert to faculty, stu-
dents and staff members at 3:40 a.m.
Monday, the university said the ini-
tial investigation indicates this was
an act directed specifically toward
the victim and was not a random act
of violence.
The university, which is primarily
a commuter campus, still decided
to cancel classes. The University
of Memphis had 20,562 students
enrolled for last fall, according to its
Web site.
We feel like the campus is safe,
but wed rather err on the side of
safety than not, spokesman Curt
Guenther said.
City police, who are handling the
case because it is a homicide investi-
gation, expressed less certainty that
Bradford had been specifically tar-
geted than university officials did.
City Police Director Larry Godwin
said a motive for the shooting had
not been determined and police had
no suspects identified.
We really dont know whether
it was a random act or whether or
not this individual was targeted,
he said.
Godwin said witnesses saw two
unidentified men running from the
area where investigators believe the
shooting occurred and other wit-
nesses reported hearing gunfire.
Godwin said investigators had no
evidence that Bradford was involved
in any illegal activity.
Everything Ive heard about him
... he was just a good kid, Godwin
said.
Bradford, a 5-foot-11, 300-pound
defensive lineman, was a junior
who transferred to Memphis last
year after two seasons at Samford
University in Birmingham, Ala.
The Nashville resident was to have
begun playing for the Tigers this
season.
Monday afternoon, several foot-
ball players and others tied a large
red ribbon to the tree Bradford struck
with his car and put up a large poster
board for friends and acquaintances
to leave personal notes.
Our entire football team is deep-
ly saddened by the loss of Taylor,
Memphis head coach Tommy West
said. He was well respected and a
popular member of our team.

sisters played the game. Martincich
joined a club team in fifth grade, but
it was at about the seventh or eighth
grade that her father noticed some-
thing different about his daughter.
Martincich played nearly every
sport growing up, but after awhile,
softball and basketball starting tak-
ing a backseat to volleyball.
Even though it was softball or
basketball season, she was still pick-
ing up the volleyball and saying, Dad,
lets go play. Eric Martincich said.
By the time she reached Bishop
Miege High School, she began to
realize that her future would include
playing college volleyball. And that
meant Kansas was her No. 1 choice.
Martincich led Bishop Miege to
three-straight Kansas 5A volleyball
titles during her sophomore, junior
and senior seasons. But Martincichs
decorated high school career reached
far beyond her volleyball accolades.
Martincich was named the Kansas
Gatorade Player of the Year during
her senior season but also excelled
in the classroom, finishing fourth in
her senior class with a 4.57 GPA.
So it makes sense that her father
has a hard time finding a single flaw
in his daughter.
Shes pretty close to perfection.
She strives so hard in everything
she does, Eric Martincich said.
Shes so competitive, maybe to a
fault.
Freshman growing
pains
When Martincich arrived on
campus in 2005, she quickly found
out that she would have to wait
one more year for her dream to
become reality. Martincich, a setter,
was behind senior Andi Rozum,
Kansas all-time leader in assists, on
the depth chart. Bechard thought
there would be too few opportuni-
ties for Martincich to play. Bechard
decided to make Martinich a red-
shirt her first year. The all-every-
thing player in high school was
back at the bottom.
Thats a tough thing to do,
senior setter Emily Brown said. To
go through practice, go through
weights, go through conditioning
and know that you arent going to
get to play.
Martincich said she remembered
many times when her roommate
and fellow freshman Savannah
Noyes had to endure her griping.
It was frustrating because you
go from playing all the time in high
school and youre coming off three
state titles, and then you have to
go back to having to watch again,
Martincich said. But looking back,
it seems worth it now.
It definitely seemed worth it last
year as Martincich recorded one of
the best seasons by a freshman set-
ter in Kansas history. Martincichs
2006 season total of 1,193 assists
was the eighth highest in school
history. With 248 assists this sea-
son, she has climbed to seventh
all-time at Kansas with 1,441.
an overlooked
position
Coach Bechard likes to point out
similarities between a volleyball set-
ter and basketball point guard. A set-
ter, like a point guard, is responsible
for distributing the ball, leading the
offense and making quick decisions.
And like a point guard in basketball,
setters are often overlooked. A fan
is more likely to notice the player
finishing the dunk than the point
guard who set him up, just as a fan is
going to notice the player hitting the
monster kill, not the setter who put
the ball in perfect position.
Kansas changed from a one-set-
ter system last year to a two-setter
system this season. Martincich and
Brown are sharing the load at the
position, and although the system
change has cut into Martincichs
assist totals and court-time her
assist-per-game total is down to
4.51 she has embraced her new
role.
I feel like when Im not play-
ing I can refocus and come off the
bench re-energized and provide a
spark, Martincich said.
Martincichs reckless abandon
on the court and quiet determina-
tion off of it has caught the atten-
tion of her teammates.
Shell come in looking almost
like a zombie. Shes got the back-
brace on, fighting through stuff,
and she still is going 110 percent,
Brown said.
But thats how Martincich has
always done it. And if you travel to
the Horesji Family Athletics Center
this season to watch a Kansas home
game, youll see the same thing.
There will be Katie Martincich, qui-
etly going all out, all the time and
living out her dream.

Natalie Uhart is back. Again.
Those five words have become a
familiar chorus to Uhart, a senior
middle blocker.
Injuries and
medical issues
have plagued a
career that has
spanned five
years and two
schools Uhart
played her first
three years at
Long Beach State University, start-
ing in 2003.
The latest medical episode
ended last Wednesday when
Uhart returned to the floor after
missing ten matches to receive
treatment for a congenital heart
defect. Uhart made an immediate
impact during Kansas loss to No.
1 Nebraska. The Lansing native
had 7 kills and 2 digs against the
Huskers.
I am excited about putting this
all behind me, Uhart said in a
statement issued by the Athletics
Department.
Uhart first became ill dur-
ing Kansas match at Michigan
State on Aug. 31. According to
the press release, Uhart suffered
from dizziness and weakness, and
she was hospitalized in Lansing,
Mich. Doctors diagnosed Uhart
with a congenital heart defect
called a patent foramen ovale,
or PFO.
Uhart underwent surgery on Sept.
12 to repair the heart defect.
I made the decision to have the
surgery because I wanted to be able
to play to my full potential during
every match without reservation,
she said.
The heart defect is the third med-
ical obstacle Uhart has overcome in
the past four years. After transferring
before last season, Uhart suffered a
torn anterior cruciate ligament dur-
ing the teams preseason alumnae
match and missed the entire season.
Uhart also ruptured her patellar ten-
don during her sophomore season at
Long Beach State and missed eight
months.
Uhart still has another year of
eligibility after this season. She was
granted a medical hardship waiver
by the Big West conference after only
playing in five games in 2005 and
was issued a medical redshirt after
not playing last season.
She has overcome a lot since
joining us, and we know she will
be a force for us in Big 12 action,
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said in
the statement.
Kansas is 9-6, 2-3 in the Big 12,
and Uharts presence at middle
blocker should help Kansas during
its final 15 conference matches as the
Jayhawks try to return to the NCAA
tournament for the fourth time in
five years.
Theres nothing I want more
than to help this team get back to the
NCAA tournament, Uhart said.

Uhart
whats a PFO?
Uhart sufered from a
patent foramen ovale. Its a
hole in the hearts septum,
which is the membrane
dividing the upper cham-
bers of the heart, said Larry
Magee, team physician for
Kansas Athletics. Uharts
Sept. 12 surgery closed the
hole.
Everyone has the hole
before they are born. It usu-
ally closes at birth or soon
after; for about 20 percent
of the population, it doesnt.
Most people who have a
PFO have no symptoms or
problems, Magee said in
a statement issued by the
Athletics Department.
Magee said that a small
percentage of people with
a PFO would experience
symptoms that could be
made worse with intense
exercise. Symptoms include
dizziness and weakness.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NewEngland Patriots quarterback TomBrady signals a touchdown in the frst quarter of the
Monday night game in Cincinnati. Brady threwthree touchdowns in the Patriots 34-13 victory.
BY JOE KAY
ASSOcIATED pRESS
CINCINNATI (AP) Tom
Brady had three more touchdown
passes. Sammy Morris had one of
the best games of his career. The
New England defense had its way.
Expect anything less?
The Patriots remained one of the
NFLs four unbeaten teams Monday
night and, so far, the best of the
bunch by beating the Cincinnati
Bengals 34-13 with a performance
that showed their versatility.
And, theyve only just begun.
New England (4-0) is off to its
best start since 2004, when it won
the Super Bowl for the third time
in four years. An offense energized
by the addition of receivers Randy
Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes
Welker showed it can grind it out,
too.
Especially against a team like the
Bengals (1-3), who had trouble just
getting a defense on the field and
counting to 11 while they were at it.
Moss caught a pair of touch-
down passes, and Morris ran for 117
yards, giving the Patriots more than
enough on a night when they didnt
need a whole lot.
Cincinnati was missing middle
linebackers Ahmad Brooks and
Caleb Miller, leaving a big hole in
one of the leagues worst defens-
es. When Lemar Marshall hurt an
Achilles tendon in the first quar-
ter, the Bengals moved rookie safety
Chinedum Ndukwe into a lineback-
ers spot.
The Patriots had more lineback-
ers in their offenses on goal-line
plays than the Bengals had in their
defense on many plays. And one of
them Mike Vrabel caught a
1-yard touchdown pass in a Super
Bowl flashback.
Missing their top runner didnt
slow the Patriots.
Morris, an eighth-year journey-
man playing for his third team, got
to take center stage because Laurence
Maroney was out with a strained
groin. He had the second 100-yard
game of his career, including a 7-
yard touchdown run on fourth-and-
1 put the Patriots in control in the
third quarter.
Morris 49-yard run the sec-
ond-longest of his career set up
Bradys 1-yard touchdown pass to
Vrabel, who has nine career catches,
all for touchdowns. Two of them
have come in the Patriots Super
Bowl wins.
Brady, the two-time Super Bowl
MVP, didnt have to do anything
sensational in an offense that could
grind it out against a depleted
defense. He was 25-of-32 for 231
yards with the touchdown pass to
Vrabel and two to Moss.
Brady has had many great
moments for the Patriots, but
has never been this good for this
long. He leads the league with
13 touchdown passes, his best
total in any four-game span of
his career.
The NFLs most efficient passer
made an uncharacteristically sloppy
mistake, forcing a third-down throw
for only his second interception
of the season. That set up Carson
Palmers 1-yard touchdown pass to
T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
Thats the only one they would
get.
Late in the third quarter, the
crowd of 66,113 the largest ever
to see a Bengals game in Cincinnati
started filing out, sensing the
futility. The Bengals fell into last
place in the AFC North heading into
their bye week.
And they didnt go there grace-
fully.
Palmer had words with Chad
Johnson when the Pro Bowl receiv-
er ran the wrong route, resulting
in Asante Samuels interception
near the goal line late in the first
half. They had more words on the
sideline, and Johnson was still
jawing at the Pro Bowl MVP quar-
terback as they left the field at
halftime.
It got worse.
The Bengals stopped a third-down
run, but were penalized for having
12 men on the field. The penalty set
up a fourth-quarter field goal that
extended an amazing streak of con-
sistency: New England has scored in
every quarter this season and its last
36 overall.
nFl
Patriots shine in every way against Bengals
Brady tosses three touchdowns, two to Moss, who had 102 yards on the night

Great expectations tend to carry quite
a bit of weight. Rarely does a much-
anticipated movie live
up to its hype or an
eagerly-awaited album
completely satisfy lis-
teners. Offensive coor-
dinator Ed Warinners
return to Kansas could
have easily fal len
short of the expecta-
tions of Jayhawk fans.
Fortunately for those fans, the offensive
scheme Warinner introduced has lived
up to its billing.
The plan
Kansas offensive philosophy this sea-
son has taken a turn from that of years
past. Last season, the Jayhawk offense
relied on running back Jon Cornish to
carry much of the load. He answered the
call admirably, rushing for a school record
1,457 yards and scoring five touchdowns.
With Cornish departing for the Canadian
Football League, Kansas was left with no
feature back.
Warinner, who came to Kansas from
Illinois, and the coaching staff devised a plan
for 2007: Kansas would use the pass to set up
its running game.
Our offense is one that provides an
opportunity to run the ball because we
throw the ball well thats going to
be our philosophy, Kansas coach Mark
Mangino said several weeks before the
season.
The idea has worked precisely as planned
so far. Though Kansas has run the ball on
54 percent of its offensive plays, the team is
averaging nearly 10 yards per pass attempt.
Kansas has been able to establish its passing
game early, grab a large lead and run all it
wants in the second half.
The Jayhawks challenge opposing
defenses by lining up in a variety of dif-
ferent formations, including four-wide
receiver sets and creative three-wide
receiver sets such as triplets or dia-
mond, in which three or four receivers
bunch together on one side of the field
and burst in all directions at the snap of
the ball.

Sometimes one play can define a play-
er. For Kansas sophomore setter Katie
Martincich that play came earlier this year
against Kansas State.
With Kansas trailing in its conference
opener, a Kansas State player tipped a ball
over the net toward the line referees plat-
form chair. Within a moment, Martincich
was diving face-first into the metal chair,
sacrificing her body to save the point for
Kansas. Fighting off a grimace, Martincich
popped to her feet, re-strapped the bulky
back-brace that she has worn all season and
went back to work.
Thats just how Martincich plays: all out,
all the time. And because all she wanted to
do since she first picked up a volleyball was
play at Kansas, a little pain was no problem.
Ive been a Jayhawk fan since I was four
years old, Martincich said.
When Kansas coach Ray Bechard offered
Martincich a scholarship before her junior
year at Bishop Miege High School in Roeland
Park, Martincich thought about it for about
two seconds.
I told him Id take it right there,
Martincich said. Then he said, Dont you
want to talk to anybody about it, and I was
like, Nope, I want it.
If you call the Martincich household in
Shawnee, youll start to understand that the
family is serious about its love for Kansas.
The familys answering machine belts out the
Kansas fight song, and Martincichs father,
Eric, is quick to point out that his wife and
three daughters all have attended Kansas.
And just like for all Jayhawk families, the
winter is dedicated to Kansas basketball.
I think Katie and I have gone to maybe
two movies together, but weve been to more
than a hundred basketball games, Eric
Martincich said.
Martincichs journey to Kansas sounds like
a familiar story. It began with Martincich sit-
ting on the sideline practicing while her older

Chase Buford has only heard stories
about the end of boot camp. Horror
stories.
The freshman guard experienced
tough conditioning drills throughout his
high school career, but judging by what
other players have told him, none of them
will prepare him for the last few days of
boot camp.
I think thats been on everyones mind
for the last month or so, Buford said. Its
going to be rough, but
everyone gets through
it. Im sure there will
be times when I think
I wont, but I try not
to think about it too
much.
The last days of
boot camp, which
could be anytime from
Wednesday to Friday depending on how
Kansas coach Bill Self thinks the team has
performed, include timed sprinting drills
that practically induce leg cramps just by
the sound of their names. Players must
complete 20 22s and 30 suicides in a
certain amount of time.
A 22 is when players run the length
of the court and back twice in a row in
under 20 seconds. They do it 20 times
and get about a 19-second rest in between
each one.
Yikes.
Suicides, as the name implies, arent
much easier. Players start at the base
line, then sprint to the free throw line
and back. Then to the half-court line and
back. Then to the opposite free throw line
and back. Finally to the opposite base line
and back. Repeat 30 times.
Definitely the last two days are the
hardest things to do, senior center Sasha
Kaun said. Twenty 22s and 30 suicides
its not just the physical, but things
are mentally tough. When you hear 30
suicides, you just think wow, thats not
even possible.
This is especially true considering the
amount of running the Jayhawks have
already done. Boot camp started eight
days ago, and Self has put them through
conditioning drills every weekday morn-
ing since.
By the last two days weve already
been through hell, senior guard Jeremy
Case said. Your legs just tighten up and
your sides start hurting. Thats when it
becomes mental. You have to tell your
body you can do it, and youre not hurt-
ing.
As hard as the drills are, the players
know Self isnt just torturing them. Case
said the last days of boot camp make the
team feel more complete.
We all have to rely on each other,
he said. If somebody doesnt make their
time, we all have to run again. If some-
body misses a block-out during a game,
we all lose. So it helps everybody under-
stand that each individual has to carry
their own weight or the whole team
loses.

I
f I said the most decorated athlete in
Kansas history passed away yester-
day, would you be able to name him?
Al Oerter was just that. Oerter passed
away early Monday morning at the age
of 71.
I would guess most KU students have
never heard of Al Oerter. Thats not
surprising. Its been nearly 50 years since
Oerter left his Kansas track-and-field
career behind in 1958. And Oerter was
a discus thrower, not exactly the most
glamorous of track events.
But Oerter is more than just a name
in the record books or a face in old,
grainy photographs. He is one of the
most dominating athletes in the history
of the Olympics.
Four different times at four differ-
ent Olympics, Oerter showed the world
that a Jayhawk could do something that
nobody had done in the history of the
Olympics. Oerter became the first per-
son in history to win gold medals in four
straight Oympics in the same event.
To this date, only fellow American
track-and-field legend Carl Lewis has
equaled the feat. But Oerter did some-
thing Carl Lewis couldnt do. Each time
Oerter won the gold from the 1956
Melbourne Olympics through the 1968
Mexico City games Oerter set a new
Olympic discus record.
If Wilt Chamberlain, Danny
Manning, Gale Sayers and Lynette
Woodard are the faces on the Mount
Rushmore of Kansas athletes, then Al
Oerter deserves to be chiseled in stone
right next to them.
Theres a story told by former Kansas
broadcaster Tom Hedrick about Al
Oerter. Hedrick was Oerters chapter
advisor when Oerter was a member of
the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at Kansas.
It was a cool fall day in 1957, and
Hedrick was hanging around the football
practice field where Oerter was practic-
ing the discus that day.
I turn around, Hedrick said, And I
dont know how to put this, other than
to say I saw a young man and a young
women necking in the bleachers.
Hedrick figured he ought to put a
stop to the young love birds.
Hey, he yelled to the couple. You
better stop that or Oerter is bound to
put one right in your lap.
What are you talking about, the
young man responded angrily. Who
does he think he think he is, the
Olympic champ?
Well, Hedrick said smiling, As a
matter of fact he is.
When I found out about Oerters pass-
ing, I felt compelled to make a journey
to the Boothe Family Hall of Athletics at
Allen Fieldhouse and take an Oerter histo-
ry lesson. The statistics on this larger-than-
life athlete are jaw dropping. Oerter was a
two-time national champion in the discus
and a two-time All-American. Oerter was
a seven-time conference champion and
more importantly, during Oerters four
years at Kansas, the track team won every
indoor and outdoor track event.
Standing in the silence of the Booth
Family Hall of Athletics, I began to
look around. Here is a nearly new facil-
ity, oozing with KU sports history. Yet,
except for basketball games, I hardly
ever see students take a few moments to
journey into this oasis of KU tradition.
So, if you find yourself walking by
Allen Fieldhouse, and you have a few
minutes to spare, go inside the Booth
Family Hall of Athletics and immerse
yourself in history. You can learn about
Oerter. You can learn about the other
great KU Olympians. You can learn about
the story of former basketball player
Charlie Black, who went off to fight in
World War II and then came back to
Kansas and was named All-American.
There are thousands of stories in this
place. And Al Oerters Story is too good
to miss.
