On Wednesday 350 black students from
Kansas City-area high schools visited the
University of Kansas. They attended the
22nd annual Black Leadership Symposium
designed to encourage students to attend
college.
Pamela Scott, associate director of Multi-
Cultural Affairs, said the event informed
students about college and offered keys to
success in the future.
We just want to get information out to
high school students about college and it
doesnt necessarily mean KU, Scott said.
Were talking about college, a college edu-
cation and how it is so instrumental to suc-
cess in the future. Were raising awareness of
opportunity.
During the symposium, high school stu-
dents learned about leadership and pos-
sible post-high school careers. The event
featured guest speakers that included Erica
Hawthorne. She is CEO of a private com-
pany and works as a performing artist. A
panel of KU students shared their personal
college experiences.
Cherie Moose, panelist and Wichita
senior, attended the event when she was a
high school senior. Moose said although she
had already planned to attend college, she
remembered the event being helpful because
it gave information high school students
wouldnt otherwise receive.
It shows a lot of people have options
with higher education even though they
might not be considering it, Moose said.
She said it was rewarding to come back as
a panelist and encourage her younger peers
to enroll.
University entertainment groups that
performed were Alpha Phi Alpha, Phi Beta
Sigma Unity Hip-Hop squad, Zeta Phi Beta
and Inspirational Gospel Voices.
Kasey Cullors, Wichita senior, was one of
the student coordinators of the event. She
said it took nearly two months to plan it
and that students were chosen by their high
schools based on GPA performance. He said
he wanted students to have an open mind
after the event.
My hope is students really gain insight to
college and what its about, Cullors said.

Civil rights activist and U.S.
Congressman John Lewis will visit the
Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on
Sunday to receive the Dole Leadership
Prize.
The award was created by Sen. Bob
Dole to highlight the honorable side of
politics through public service. Dole
wanted to award a politician and an
American hero.
As one of the youngest leaders in the
civil rights movement, Lewis participated
in sit-ins, Freedom Rides and march-
es. In March 1965, Lewis was brutally
attacked by a state trooper in the Selma
to Montgomery march on a day later
known as Bloody Sunday. Lewis still
works for human rights and civil liberties
in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Jonathan Earle, Dole Institute interim
director, said if students only went to one
event at the institute this year, it should
be this event. Earle said Lewis was an
unique American hero that could inspire
students with his history.
Researchers at the University of Kansas and experts from around the
world will convene on campus Saturday to discuss U.S. policies toward
global climate change.
Facts, Ideas and U.S. Climate Change Policy: A Conference on Climate
Change will feature a panel of experts from a variety of fields. They will
make presentations and debate research as they work to make new recom-
mendations for policymakers.
The conference will be open to the public and will take place from 8:30
a.m. to noon on Saturday in 104 Green Hall.
Hillel, a Jewish student organization on
campus, has hosted an open Shabbat dinner
for the past six years.
This year, Hillel decided to add to the
event by having a canned food drive and
raffle.
All students, faculty, staff and community
members are invited to attend a traditional
Jewish service followed by a free Shabbat
feast. Events start at 6 p.m. Friday.

odd news
Arkansas House votes to
keep chew in chambers
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Arkansas
lawmakers wont have to give up
their portable spittoons or cans
of snuf after House members
rejected a rule banning chew-
ing tobacco from their chambers
Thursday.
With a 51-27 vote, the House of
Representatives fell short of the 67
votes needed to change the rules
to ban the use of all tobacco prod-
ucts. House rules and state law
already prohibit smoking cigars,
cigarettes or pipes in the chamber.
Supporters of the ban noted
that chamber rules, which prohibit
food and drink in the chamber,
allow for a days worth of tobacco
juice. Pamphlets on the risks of
chewing tobacco that included
pictures of diseased mouths were
left on members desks before the
vote.
We need to set an example in
here for all the kids who sit in the
gallery and watch us work, said
Democrat Rep. Randy Stewart.
Rep. Billy Gaskill, who smokes
and does not chew tobacco, said
he opposed the ban and suggest-
ed supporters of the restriction
were hypocrites with their own
health problems.
Here we go again, telling us
how to live and how to die, and the
very people that are most for this
amendment are about 50 pounds
overweight, said Gaskill, another
Democrat. Leave us alone. ... Let us
die the way we want to.
Rep. Monty Davenport, who
voted against the ban, pulled out
a can of chewing tobacco during
an interview outside the House
chamber after the vote. Davenport
said he wouldnt have minded if
the ban passed and said hes trying
to quit using chewing tobacco.
It is gross, and as a health issue
you cant defend it. Its unhealthy,
said Davenport, a Democrat.
A law banning smoking in
nearly all indoor workplaces in
Arkansas went into efect last year.
It does not cover chewing tobacco.
Sporting stolen watch
lands man back in slammer
SANTA FE, N.M. A man who
walked into a meeting with his
probation ofcer wearing a Rolex
watch ended up sporting hand-
cufs.
Victor Lopez, 32, was arrested
Tuesday on a probation violation
for possessing stolen property
and was booked into the Santa
Fe County jail, police said. The
probation ofcer grew suspicious
when he noticed Lopez wearing
the $2,500 watch and called police,
Wheeler said.
It goes back to that thought
process that these guys arent the
sharpest tools in the shed, said
Santa Fe Deputy Police Chief Aric
Wheeler.
The watch was stolen Sunday
evening when three men forced
their way into a Santa Fe home, po-
lice said. Lopez told police a friend
had left the watch at his home,
Wheeler said.
Ofcers went to the Proba-
tion and Parole Department and
determined from markings on the
watch that it was the one that was
stolen, Wheeler said.
Lopez has an arrest record
dating back to 1997. He had been
sentenced four days earlier in fve
cases, said Cindy L. Turcotte, a
Santa Fe attorney.

Its a testament to the popularity
of the Free State Brewing Co. that
at 4:45 p.m. on a Thursday the bar
is far from empty. Since 1989, it
has been a prominent business in
downtown Lawrence and a watering
hole for students looking for locally
brewed beer.
Proprietor Chuck Magerl attri-
butes the popularity of the bar to
avoiding a niche and keeping Free
State accessible to everyone. This
philosophy includes keeping prices
moderate for families and frugal col-
lege students.
Were different from a lot of
national chains and have the ability
to have unique and special foods and
beers at a good value, Magerl said.
According to Kansas History
magazine, Free State was the first
legal brewery in Kansas to open
since the states 1881 law prohibit-
ing beer manufacturing. In 1987
Kansas legislators passed new laws
that eased brewing restrictions.
Before the national prohibition,
Kansas had a strong brewing busi-
ness, supported largely by the many
German immigrants in the area. Free
State, 633 Massachusetts St., helped
lead the renovation and revival of
the 600 block of Massachusetts
Street.
This year, Free State made his-
tory by becoming the first Kansas-
brewed beer to be served at the
Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson.
The beer brewed at Free State is
sold to a wholesaler and then dis-
tributed. Other establishments in
Lawrence, such as Liberty Hall and
the Sandbar, have Free State beer
on tap.
Anything you can do thats
local is always great, and its a great
beer, said Sandbar Manager David
Johanning.
Liberty Hall has served Free State
beer for the eight years Genelle
Denneny has been the bar manager
there. She echoed Johannings senti-
ment of wanting to support a local
business.
Customers are familiar with it.
They love having it, Denneny said.
Free State has tried to return the
favor for other local businesses since
it has been open by buying local
produce. It also has actively par-
ticipated in environmental issues by
composting its waste and recycling
for more than 10 years, putting it
ahead of the recent attention given
to these issues.
Free States longevity also has
helped the business prepare for the
busy times of year.
We always know when the fall
break is coming up, and we are bet-
ter able to take care of customers,
Magerl said.
The students see this special care,
and it is appreciated.
I think its cool that they have
the Monday night beer specials,
Salina junior Sara Thompson said.
And they have really good beer.
Thats always important, and they
have pretty delicious food.
Luis Santacruz, Asuncin,
Paraguay, senior, had nothing but
good things to say about the bar.
First of all, I like the entire bar
concept of having a microbrewery
on site, he said. I also like the front
porch. Its a good place to spend
your summer afternoon.
In addition to the atmosphere,
Santacruz goes for the beer brewed
by Free State.
Theres one which I really like,
the Ad Astra, he said. The flavor
is bold and refreshing at the same
time, and its not like other ales. Its
easy to drink and enjoy.
Magerl said 25 percent to 35 per-
cent of the customer base was stu-
dents. He also knows the day-to-day
ebb and flow of the student clientele,
and said that after 10 p.m., student
business was more concentrated.
Magerl has no problem with this,
even though college students might
not bring in as much revenue as cus-
tomers with more cash flow.
Its a livelier and more cultural
mix from a college crowd than you
get in an urban setting, he said. I
enjoy seeing the KU influence, and
its hard to imagine doing what we
do anywhere else.
This influence extends to the
staff, which has a mix of theater,
pre-nursing, psychology and educa-
tion majors.
The University brings a wide
array of academic background into
the employment mix, Magerl said.
Locally brewed beer, supporting
Lawrence business and a mini-his-
tory lesson all justify a trip to this
landmark, and the best kind of land-
mark at that: one at which people
can become inebriated.

One of the Big Six leaders of
the civil rights movement a group
that includes Martin Luther King Jr.
and Rosa Parks will visit the
Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics on
Sunday. Civil rights leader and U.S.
Congressman
John Lewis
will receive
this years Dole
L e a d e r s h i p
Prize, in the
Institutes largest
event, Sunday at
7:30 p.m. at the
Lied Center.
Lewis grew up in rural Alabama
where he experienced racial dis-
crimination daily. Lewis said he
remembered seeing the white men
and women signs and colored men
and women signs. He said witness-
ing such segregation had a profound
impact on him. After hearing King
speak and learning of Rosa Parks
demonstration on the bus, Lewis
said he was motivated at a young
age despite his mothers objections.
My mother would say, Dont get
in trouble, thats just the way it is,
Lewis said. But I was inspired to do
something. I thought if they can do
it, we can do it, too.
Lewis became one of the young-
est leaders of the Civil Rights
Movement, and formed a close
friendship with King. He partici-
pated in sit-ins at Nashville diners
in 1960 and was arrested for the
first time at age 20 during a sit-in.
Lewis said he knew when he decid-
ed to get involved in the movement
it would be a difficult yet necessary
battle.
I knew I had to take a long, hard
look at the struggle, Lewis said. I
fell against great odds, but I never
gave up, never became hostile or
bitter.
At 23, Lewis helped organize the
March on Washington where King
gave his famous I Have A Dream
speech. Lewis was also a speaker at
the march, and he said it was one of
his proudest moments.
During a Freedom March from
Selma, Ala., to Montgomery, Ala.,
on March 7, 1965, Lewis was
severely beaten on Edmund Pettus
Bridge by a state trooper. Lewis
said although he thought at that
moment he would die, he never has
renounced the principles of non-
violence.
Lewis has served Georgias
fifth district in the U.S. House of
Representatives since 1987. He is a
member of the Democratic caucus
and serves on the House Ways and
Means Committee.
Ebony Howard, president of
the KU Black Student Union and
Fort Worth senior, said she highly
valued the recognition the Dole
Institute was giving Lewis. She said
she was looking forward to hearing
Lewis speak because he was truly
living history. Howard said Lewis
work was relevant to students.
I think his work in the Civil
Rights is commendable because it
was done at such a young age,
Howard said. Most students dont
realize much of the movement was
fought by teenagers.
Monica Crane, Wichita senior
and Dole Student Advisory board
member, said sometimes the news
highlighted politicians who were
corrupt or working for personal
gain. Crane said the prize was
awarded to someone who was com-
pletely opposite that image. She said
Lewis was one of the last living
leaders who experienced the Civil
Rights movement and few students
had much knowledge of the era.
Hes nationally respected for
being one of the first in the move-
ment, Crane said. He was nearly
killed. He bears the scars of the
movement.
Dole Institute interim director
Jonathan Earle said U.S. Sen. Bob
Dole instituted the prize to show
that politics could be an honor-
able profession. Earle said candi-
dates were often considered true
American heroes along with their
political titles. Former mayor of
New York City Rudy Guiliani,
Nobel Peace Prize winner and for-
mer Polish President Lech Walesa
and South Dakota Sen. George
McGovern are past Dole Leadership
Prize winners.
Earle said Lewis was a unique
American hero because of his lead-
ership throughout the Civil Rights
movements and his work in the U.S.
Congress.
Lewis said receiving the Dole
Leadership Prize was a very mean-
ingful honor. He said any student
could become a leader.
Young people should find some-
thing that is so dear to them, Lewis
said. Find a calling, a mission and
bring about change. Leave some-
thing for the next generation.
Tickets to the Dole Leadership
Prize ceremony are free and may
be picked up at the Lied Center,
Murphy Hall or Student Union
Activities in the Kansas Union.

Jon Hurst-Sneh said he wanted
to reach out to the community for
tonights Rock Chalk Shabbat, so he
partnered with a local food dona-
tion service.
For the past six years, Hillel has
invited both Jewish and non-Jewish
students, faculty, staff and com-
munity members to join them for
a Friday night service followed by a
free traditional Shabbat dinner.
Hurst-Sneh, Overland Park
sophomore and co-chairman for
Rock Chalk Shabbat, said he want-
ed to add another dimension to
the annual event. He arranged a
canned food drive with Harvesters
Community Food Network in
Kansas City, Mo. Hurst-Sneh also
planned a raffle to encourage din-
ner guests to bring canned foods.
All prizes were donated by local
businesses.
Bringing cans is such an easy
thing to do, Hurst-Sneh said. So
many people have cans of food in
their pantries that they will never
use, so why not bring it to help
families across the community?
Rachel Seliger, Seattle senior
and Hillel intern, said last year
the chancellor, vice provost and
about 450 other people attended
the event. She said they expected
about 500 guests tonight. She said
they would serve brisket, chicken
and potatoes.
Its just kind of a nice way to
get the community to eat togeth-
er, Seliger said.
Carli Harber, Atlanta senior and
co-chairwoman for Rock Chalk
Shabbat, said she and Hurst-Sneh
had been meeting at least once a
week for the past month and a
half to prepare for tonights event.
She said the canned food drive fit
well with this years theme, Making
a Difference, One Jayhawk at a
Time.
Services begin at 6 p.m. in
Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas
Union, followed by a free dinner in
the Kansas Union Ballroom. Several
student speakers will participate in
the service. The raffle will be held
after the dinner.
Hurst-Sneh made a video about
tonights event that can be viewed

It is the middle of October and
many Kansans are still wearing
shorts. Despite what others might
think, researchers at the University of
Kansas say this is not a good thing.
The School of Law on Saturday
will play host to experts in fields
from natural sciences to philosophy
to discuss current policies on cli-
mate change Saturday. Facts, Ideas
and U.S. Climate Change Policy:
A Conference on Climate Change
will feature a panel of experts from
around the world to present research
concerning global climate change.
They hope to come to an agreement
on suggestions for local and federal
policy concerning the issue.
Robert Glicksman, KU professor
of law, said he and other law profes-
sors were working on a book which
details U.S. policy on climate change.
The experts attending the conference
originally were invited to contribute
to the book.
We figured as long as we have
these experts in town, itd be a great
opportunity to inform the public on
these important issues, he said.
Glicksman said the U.S. govern-
ment was not doing enough to curb
some of the long-term effects of glob-
al warming.
The main thesis of the book is
that the federal government doesnt
act because of commitments to free
market ideology, Glicksman said.
He went on to say that the gov-
ernment tended to believe imposing
changes on businesses carbon diox-
ide emissions and other factors that
contribute to climate change would
cost more money than it was worth.
Cost-benefit analysis done by
government agencies sacrifices long-
term environmental action for short
term economical gains, he said.
They often think there is a lot of
scientific uncertainty.
When were talking about the
extinction of species or the oblitera-
tion of a city because of flooding, it is
difficult to figure a monetary value.
David Braaten, professor of atmo-
spheric science and deputy director of
the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice
Sheets at KU, said local and federal
policymakers often ignored the issue
and its long-term effects. He said
government officials were typically
concerned with the next election, not
the next generation.
Im not sure they want my opin-
ion, Braaten said. Some of the rhet-
oric is that the science is uncertain,
thats not true. The science is as solid
as science gets. I think politicians
use that as an excuse for not doing
anything policy-wise. We dont need
another 10 years to say there is a big
change happening.
Braaten said that people were also
still wearing shorts in Greenland,
where a good deal of ice sheet research
was done. He said rising global tem-
peratures were producing scary side
effects where the weather was usually
extremely cold.
The surface melt is increasing
and is extending well into the fall, he
said. We are seeing entire lakes on
ice sheets in September. This is some-
thing weve never really seen before. It
should be getting cold and its not. Its
very dramatic.
Ben Zimmerman, Dodge City
third-year law student and president
of the Environmental Law Society,
said other students could use their
voice to produce profound policy
change regarding global warming.
Climate change policies have
largely been ineffective, but today the
increasing weight of scientific evi-
dence and public opinion provides
the opportunity for meaningful pol-
icy ideas to become legal realities,
Zimmerman said.
The conference will take place
from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday in
104 Green Hall. The conference is
open to the public.

hours). on Shabbat, you spend
time with family, pray, read,
and rejuvenate. Many Jewish
people light candles to sym-
bolically ward of the darkness
and welcome the divine.

Katie Jahnke is majoring in
English and political science. She
has used all of her coursework to
help prepare for her next endeavor:
law school.
Ive really just spent my time at
KU trying to build skills that will
be useful in law school: organiza-
tion, leadership, time management,
critical thinking, reading, writing,
etc., Jahnke said. Of course, this
involved tons of studying.
Students such as Jahnke, Shawnee
senior, who are interested in going
to law school can get valuable infor-
mation at the School of Law open
house. Registration begins at 10 a.m.
and the open house ends at 3 p.m.
today at Green Hall. The event is free
and open to all students. Attendees
can tour facilities, learn about aca-
demic opportunities and admission
requirements and talk with current
law students about student life and
other information.
Jacqlene Nance, School of Law
director of admissions, said the goal
of the event was to personalize the
law school to interested students.
As a result of the open house,
we hope prospective students will
become excited about KU Law, KUs
campus and the town of Lawrence,
which in turn will encourage pro-
spective students to apply and ulti-
mately attend KU Law, Nance said.
Nance said students often were
concerned with getting their applica-
tions completed properly and turned
in to the school on time. She also said
students asked who they should have
write a letter of recommendation for
them as well as questions about the
LSAT and GPA requirements.
Last year the School of Law
received 1,067 applications to the
school and admitted 391. Nance
encouraged students to plan early.
She said if students couldnt attend
the Open House, they should set up
a visit, sit in on a first-year law class
and make an appointment with a
pre-law advisor. She said the school
started accepting applications on
Sept. 15. The deadline is March 15.
We encourage students to plan
on submitting their application by
Thanksgiving, New Years at the lat-
est, she said. Since we have a rolling
application process, turning in your
application early is best for both
admissions and scholarship oppor-
tunities.
Jahnke, who is also president
of the Phi Alpha Delta pre-law fra-
ternity, said she had been in the
process of applying to law schools
and was still waiting to hear where
she would be accepted. Jahnke said
development law appealed to her
now, but added that her interests
could change in the future.
Wendy Rohleder-Sook, associate
dean for student affairs, said law
students should look forward to the
challenges that awaited them both as
a law student and thereafter.
Both in law school and in the
legal profession, students can look
forward to an ongoing intellectual
challenge, she said. Because the law
continuously changes, a lawyer must
rely on the skills he or she develops
in law school in identifying legal
issues, constructing arguments and
researching when practicing law.

Encore Caf, a new restaurant
in downtown Lawrence, offers a
mixture of Asian influenced food
and American favorites such as
smoothies and brisket.
Denny Wong, co-manager of
Encore, said the restaurant was
something unique compared with
most oriental take-out places.
Encore, which opened Monday
at 1007 Massachusetts St., has sev-
eral types of bubble tea, a popular
Chinese drink, along with milk-
shakes, slushies and coffee drinks.
The menu features snacks such as
edamame and popcorn chicken.
Salads made of seaweed and cal-
amari also are available. Encore
offers a variety of entrees includ-
ing Asian inspired dishes such as
wonton egg noodles and Thai and
curry dishes.
The food is prepared a dif-
ferent way, and the curry sauce is
different from others, Wong said.
The bubble tea is totally differ-
ent than what people have had
before.
Wanna Zhao, Juang, China,
junior and co-manager of Encore,
said the restaurants unique dishes
included pineapple fried rice and
the beef teriyaki on baked rice.
Encores smoothies include
mango, kiwi and strawberry with
optional tapioca on the bottom.
The restaurant also offers hot and
cold teas such as jasmine milk tea,
coconut milk tea and passion fruit
green tea.
The restaurant has a casual set-
ting with two flat-screen televi-
sions and a karaoke room that is
coming soon.
We wanted to make it more
fun, not one of the higher-class
places, Zhao said. People can
come in, enjoy themselves and
socialize.
Zhao said the restaurant would
have its liquor license in a few
weeks and would then begin serv-
ing alcoholic beverages. The kara-
oke room will be open in a month
or two after it is finished being
sound-proofed. Zhao wanted to
add the karaoke room because
of the popularity of karaoke in
China and to attract Asian student
groups.
Zhao said customers had begun
coming in, and she already saw
some students come back twice in
one day.
Our menu is really different,
and I think people should give it a
try. People will like it, Zhao said.

Ashley Acosta always knew she
wanted to teach. She just didnt know
which subject. But as an undergradu-
ate at Old Dominion University, she
took an introduction to philosophy
class and found she enjoyed it.
I eventually got into philoso-
phy because I was at a point in
my life where nothing was making
sense, and phi-
losophy seemed
like the best
way to get some
answers, Acosta
said. Little did
I know that Id
end up with more
questions than
answers; by then
it was too late,
and I was totally
hooked.
Acosta, first-year graduate stu-
dent from Norfolk, Va., came to the
University wanting to be a graduate
teaching assistant in philosophy this
year. But because of a lack of funding
and available GTA positions in the
philosophy department, Acosta is
one of many graduate students in the
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
who are not teaching this year and
instead hoping for a TA position
next year.
A lot of the faculty in the phi-
losophy department here are pretty
well-established in their areas of
specialization, Acosta said. And I
knew I could get a quality education
and a great foundation in philosophy
at KU.
Joseph Steinmetz, dean of liberal
arts and sci-
ences, said the
University was
trying to address
the lack of fund-
ing and avail-
able positions
through its new
plan: Planning
for Excellence.
Last year when
he talked to
people through-
out the 52 CLAS departments,
Steinmetz said the most common
complaint was the lack of support
for graduate students. Steinmetz said
the University wanted to increase
the number of positions available for
graduate students and better pay.
Steinmetz said GTA funding was
paid by the University through state
funds in return for the students
teaching work. He said that com-
pared with other Midwest schools
such as Iowa, Illinois and Colorado,
the University was lagging behind.
Acosta said she could likely work
as a TA in the Humanities and
Western Civilization department
because it often hired students with
degrees in philosophy, history and
other subjects.
My main interest in philosophy is
actually the philosophy of literature,
she said. And TAing for Western
Civ would fit in very well with my
intended area of specialization.
And while Acosta wants to pursue
a career in education, shes not going
to limit herself just to that. She has
plenty of other goals she wants to
achieve in the future.
I definitely want to teach, but
Id also like to write a novel, get
another degree in either History or
American Studies and play banjo in
a bluegrass band, she said. If my
career in philosophy doesnt work
out, I bet Id be a great copy editor.
Im a total grammar queen.

I
share a bathroom with
Obama.
By this I mean that I work in
a bakery that shares a bathroom
with the newly established cam-
paign headquarters for Barack
Obama, right across the way
from the Royal Crest Bowling
Alley in the Hillcrest Shopping
Center.
This is funny to me because
my boss is a staunch Republi-
can.
Im not leaning in any par-
ticular direction yet. On the one
hand, I am told that I may not
have Social Security when Im
70, and on the other hand Im
warned that Ill end up wait-
ing a considerably long while
before I become eligible for
my frst knee replacement
surgery.
It seems that over the last
few weeks Ive been having
a lot of conversations about
who Im going to vote for in
2008.
Having such conversations
reminds me why I checked the
independent box on my regis-
tration card. Nothing seems like
an entirely good idea in the long
run, no matter which side of the
barbed wire fence you stand on.
I give all credit to the candi-
dates, however. No matter what
tickets they are running on, they
have the toughest job in the
world: selling the future to the
American people. Some want
to fght to make the world free,
others want to work to make the
world like us again, most want
to save us money in the long
run (us being a loose and hazy
term). There are promises about
the environment and about edu-
cation. One thing is certain, all
of them are dead set to point out
that they have never been affli-
ated with George W. Bush.
In all this bickering and poli-
ticking Im still undecided, just
as I was in 2004 when I ended
up voting for Kerry because he
wasnt the one sending guys and
girls my age to die in some for-
saken desert thousands of miles
away. I viewed that as a deciding
plus.
However, the one thing that
will ultimately decide my vote in
the futurethe promise that a
politician can make me that will
make me proud to pull the lever
in support of his or her admin-
istrationis a promise that will
read something like this:
I, _______, promise that it
will be my highest sworn duty to
do one good deed for an Ameri-
can citizen every day, whether
that action is to defend his life,
accelerate his pursuit of happi-
ness, or recover his liberty. And
I charge every American to take
this oath along side me. We will
work together to help one per-
son each day, and we will do
this with the knowledge that we
may not receive retribution or
thanks.
In my mind, an American
fghts for the liberties of his
countrymen and not for his
government, he works for the
betterment of tomorrow and
not for his president. He takes
care of himself as well as oth-
ers to the best of his ability. He
gladly sacrifces and never takes
his rights for granted. To this
model American, all are equal
and none are denied voice. I
would proudly elect any candi-
date who said these words and
lived by them whole-heartedly.
Stances on gun control, birth
control, immigration control,
and economics are secondary to
this superlative oath.
Smith is a Rose Hill gradu-
ate student in English.
Y
ou may have seen it
on fiers on Wescoe
Beach, you may have
seen it hovering in thick clouds
of smoke above the otherwise
pristine prairie or you may have
seen it in your working-class
fathers face after an economic
downturn. No matter how you
encounter it, the issuecoal
poweris very likely to garner a
strong and emotional response.
It does not deserve one.
In 2005, Sunfower Elec-
tric Power Corp. proposed a
vast expansion of the coal-fred
power plant in Holcomb, Kan.
Since then, there has been a
whirlwind of controversy in To-
peka, Holcomb and across Kan-
sas surrounding this proposed
project. Liberal activists and
lawmakers are crying foul (air)
while conservatives are saying
that the environmental concerns
of a dirty power source should
be secondary to Kansas econo-
my. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius has
voiced her opposition to the
project, but is letting the courts
and the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment decide
whether it is environmentally
responsible to build the plants.
But no matter how partisan pol-
iticians want to make the issue,
it is possible to take a rational,
fact-based approach to the situ-
ation.
The proposed Holcomb ex-
pansion would be a state-of-
the-art coal-fred power source,
generating 1,400 megawatts of
electricity, although only about
15 percent of that would stay in
Kansas (most of it would go to
Colorados front range megalop-
olis, which understandably has
higher power consumption than
the sparsely-populated plains of
Kansas). If approved, it would
go online in 2013.
The main problem with a coal
power plant are emissions of
carbon dioxide, which has been
implicated as the largest contrib-
uting factor to global warming,
and lower, but still toxic, emis-
sions of sulfur dioxide, carbon
monoxide and mercury. The lat-
ter argument is a red herring
because of new technology and
regulations, there would actu-
ally be lower mercury emissions
at the new expanded plant than
there are currently at the small-
er plant. But carbon dioxide is
a real issue. While the actual
emissions of the proposed plant
would be fairly low and well
within federal regulations (they
have to be or else face huge fnes
from the government), any new
carbon dioxide emissions are
inherently a bad thing, even in
western Kansas, where there are
no urban smog traps. Even small
coal stations have a negative
cumulative effect on global
climate change. So how do
we move forward with energy
production while still keep-
ing the economy and the en-
vironment afoat?
What hasnt been men-
tioned much in this debate
are the alternatives to anti-
quated coal power. Westar
Energy, a company based in
Topeka, recently announced
a $500 million plan to build
three wind farms in Kansas that
would produce 500 megawatts
of power by 2010. Endorsed by
Gov. Sebelius, raising the capital
for the project would require a
small $2 monthly charge for We-
star customers, which includes
Lawrence. It is well worth $2 a
month to provide clean energy
for Kansas. But 500 megawatts
is not 1,400. How, then, to pro-
vide the other necessary energy
needed for a growing national
population?
There are two main ways. The
frst is old fashioned: save en-
ergy. Turn your air conditioner
down, turn off lights when not
using them and ride your bike
around town. Its very simple,
and yet few people actually
make a concerted effort to re-
duce their energy consumption.
The second way is a taboo term
for many people: nuclear power.
But this isnt the 1970s. Nuclear
power is getting cheaper and
more effcient every day, and the
technological advances since
Three Mile Island have made
nuclear reactors extremely safe
and fail-proof. The chances of
a nuclear accident are much
smaller than the very real pos-
sibility that continued unmiti-
gated fossil fuel use will leave
disastrous problems for future
generations. There is a growing
number of entrepreneurial com-
panies buying up unused nucle-
ar plants and getting them back
online cheaply. This is an option
that has not been widely dis-
cussed in America, but should
be, as the rest of the world is
already on board with nuclear
power. For example, 78 percent
of Frances energy comes from
nuclear reactors, sharply reduc-
ing its dependence on that sinis-
ter petroleum productoil. It is
only America that has an irratio-
nal fxation against nuclear en-
ergy. Unless your grandmother
died at Chernobyl, there is very
little reason to oppose building
new nuclear power plants.
The proposed coal plant in
Holcomb is not as bad as the en-
vironmental doomsday theorists
make it out to be, but still, it is
2007. Building the plant would
be a step, albeit a small one, in
the wrong direction. And we
should be working, at every op-
portunity we have, to make the
world greener, and less black.
Let us start with this. Contact

The universiTy daily kansan www.kansan.com friday, ocTober 19, 2007 page 1b
BY ASHER FUSCO
afusco@kansan.com
Cornerback is the loneliest position on
the football field. On any given play, one
must strike a delicate balance: stay alert to
stop the run while respecting the opponents
ability to throw the deep ball. One misstep or
mental mistake can turn a modest six yard
gain into a 60-yard touchdown pass.
Needless to say, throwing a true freshman
into the fire as the
starting cornerback
could be a dangerous
proposition. But so
far this season, Kansas
coach Mark Mangino
hasnt been burned by
his decision to start
freshman cornerback
Chris Harris.
Hes just done a phe-
nomenal job, Mangino
said. To come in here
and essentially win the
corner position. The
way he did it he
showed a lot of enthu-
siasm, courage and football aptitude for a
freshman he has been a solid player for
us.
Freshman
Fill-ins
This marks the third-straight season
Kansas has called on a freshman to fill one
of the cornerback spots. Last year, Blake
Bueltel left the program early in the season,
leaving Anthony Webb to fend for himself
as the starter. Despite arriving at Kansas
as a highly touted recruit, Webb was over-
matched and undersized. His inexperience,
coupled with injuries to other defensive
backs, made for a porous pass defense
the worst in the nation. The year before
that, a young cornerback named Aqib Talib
stepped in opposite of Charles Gorden.
When projected starter Kendrick Harper
injured his hand in August, creating an
eerily similar situation to 2006, fans filled
message boards with panic and media pre-
dicted the teams demise. Throughout the
preseason, Mangino and his staff looked
for a replacement before naming Harris
the starter about a week ahead of the teams
first game.
The Bixby, Okla., native has played more
like a senior than a freshman, securing the
job and making opponents pay for throwing
away from the Jayhawks star cornerback,
junior Talib. In his first six games man-
ning the right side of the secondary, Harris
has made 30 tackles fourth on the team
and snared one intercep-
tion. As impressive as his
numbers have looked
so far, the freshman is
just starting to settle
in.
Ive come a long
way from the first game
until the Baylor game,
Harris said. Last game
I felt like I was using
my best technique since
the get-go, so it finally
came together and Im
feeling very comfort-
able right now.
an
unheralded recruit
Less than a year ago, Harris was not a
surefire prospect to immediately contribute
to a Division I program. Because of his small
size listed at 6-foot but self-admittedly
5-10 some big-time programs such as
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State shied away
from recruiting Harris. Arkansas showed
some interest, but it wasnt until Kansas
offered Harris a scholarship late last winter
that second-tier schools such as Iowa State
and Tulsa made pushes to sign him.
Harris decided Kansas was the right school
for him after he spent his official visit shad-
owing sophomore free safety Darrell Stuckey.
Meeting all of the players and spending time
with Stuckey convinced Harris to become a
Jayhawk, Harris said. Since sliding into his
starting spot, Harris has not disappointed
Stuckey.
Hes a great kid whos not scared at all or
intimidated about his age or inexperience,
Stuckey said. He knows that on the football
field youre just a player and thats all that
matters. There are no excuses on the field.
Though not the most acclaimed prospect
in the nation or even in his home state,
Harris has become one of the best young
players in the Big 12 conference and stood as
an exception to the rule: a successful fresh-
man cornerback. The coaches who chose to
pass on the Jayhawks youngest star could
soon regret their decision when they face
Kansas.
Ive got something to prove, Harris said.
Ive got to prove myself every day like Ive
basically been proving myself my whole life.
I had to prove myself to everybody here and
I definitely want to prove myself to all those
other people.

Twenty minutes after Kansas 3-0 loss to
No. 1 Nebraska on Sept. 26, Jenna Kaiser
stood in front of a handful of reporters at the
Horesji Family Athletics Center.
Wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, with
sweat still drying on her face, Kaiser, a fresh-
man outside hitter, tried to convey to the
reporters the challenge of going from high
school volleyball in Wichita to playing the
No. 1 team in the country.
Is this the best team youve ever played
against? a reporter asked.
Just as the question was asked, Sarah
Pavan, a 6-foot-5 right side hitter for
Nebraska and the reigning national player of
the year, exited the visitors locker room.
Theyre the best, Kaiser said, pausing a
moment to glance at Pavan as she walked by.
Theyre the best Ive ever seen.
Kaiser is only 20 matches into her young
college volleyball career, and although
Nebraska is undoubtedly the best team she
has seen thus far, theres a chance Nebraska
could be more than that. Nebraska might
be the best team Kaiser will ever see. The
murmurs and questions have already started
among coaches and reporters familiar with
the NCAA volleyball scene. How good is
this Nebraska team? Could it be the greatest
NCAA volleyball team of all time?
Nebraska is certainly making its case.
When Kansas (10-10, 3-7 Big 12) travels
to Lincoln this Saturday to play defending
national champion Nebraska (17-0, 10-0
Big 12) at 6 p.m., it will face a team that
has put together one of the most impres-
sive seasons in NCAA history. Not only is
Nebraska ranked No. 1 and undefeated with
11 matches to go, but more impressively, the
Cornhuskers have dropped only one game
all season, sweeping 16 of their 17 matches
3-0. Nebraska has a 51-1 game record this
season and a 30-0 record in the Big 12. The
Huskers dropped their only game in a 3-1
win against No. 7 UCLA.
Theres more. With its win against
Missouri on Wednesday night, Nebraska
improved to 83-3 since 2005, when Nebraska
finished as national runner-up. Nebraska
holds a 64-match home winning streak, and
has won 27 matches in a row, dating back to
a 3-2 loss at Colorado last November.
That seems like a long time ago,
Colorado coach Pii Aiu said.
Aiu has been at Colorado for 11 seasons,
and he cant remember a volleyball team this
complete.
We see a lot of physical teams. We try to
play as tough of preseason schedule as we
can. And I havent seen a team as physical as
Nebraska, or play defense like Nebraska, Aiu
said. They really are the complete package.
Place in history
With Nebraska playing in a different
stratosphere from the rest of the Big 12, the
Cornhuskers will find themselves battling
less against the league and more against his-
tory. Only three teams in NCAA volleyball
history have gone undefeated and won a
national championship. USC went 35-0 in
2003, Nebraska finished 34-0 in 2000, and
Long Beach State finished 36-0 in 1998. The
1998 national player of the year and Olympic
gold medalist Misty May-Treanor was the
star of the 1998 Long Beach State team.
Aiu said Nebraska definitely needed to
be in the conversation with the best teams
of all time.
a little luck mixed in
That this Nebraska team is even together
took a little bit of good fortune. In 2005, then-
junior outside hitter Christina Houghtelling
led Nebraska to the national title game and
was named the American Volleyball Coaches
Associations national player of the year.
The following summer, Houghtelling was
forced to undergo surgery on her right shoul-
der and left knee. She took a medical redshirt
and sat out all of 2006. With Houghtelling
out, Pavan, then a junior, stepped in and
took Nebraska one victory further in 2006.
Pavan earned AVCA national player of the
year and led Nebraska to the 2006 national
title. Now Houghtelling and Pavan are both
back as seniors playing alongside three other
AVCA All-Americans senior Tracy Stalls,
junior Jordan Larson and sophomore Rachel
Holloway.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard thought the
2005 Nebraska team was the best Big 12
team hed seen, but now he might be chang-
ing his mind.
I think what theyve got is great seniors in
Pavan, Houghtelling and Stalls, Bechard said.
Kansas junior middle blocker Natalie
Uhart has played against some top volley-
ball programs. Her first two seasons were at
West Coast conference power Long Beach
State. But even Uhart said shed never played
against a team like the Nebraska team she
saw earlier this season.
Every single player on their team is dom-
inant, Uhart said. Some of the other teams
Ive played against like USC we played
Stanford they have one or two dominant
players, but Nebraska is stacked.
The murmurs will continue as long as
Nebraska keeps winning. Colorados Aiu said
no secret existed about how to beat them.
You just got to make them play, Aiu
said. You have to give them opportunities to
make mistakes, and try not to shoot yourself
in the foot to often.
So as Nebraska attempts to stay on its his-
toric course, Kansas has an opportunity on
Saturday to put up a roadblock. Kaiser, Uhart
and the rest of the Jayhawks will attempt to
put a blemish on the untarnished record of
the best team theyve ever seen.

Kansas will try to derail No. 1 Nebraskas quest for a
second straight national championship at 6 p.m. Saturday .
Nebraska won the last meeting 3-0.
Kansas hasnt beaten Nebraska
since 1975, losing 78 straight to
its northern neighbor. This season
Nebraska features one of the most
dangerous lineups in NCAA history
with fve returning All-Americans
Sarah Pavan, senior right side hitter,
was the AVCA National Player of the
Year and the Big 12 Female Athlete of
the Year in 2006.
Christina Houghtelling, senior out-
side hitter, was the 2005 AVCA National
Player of the Year, but missed all of last
season with injuries.
Tracy Stalls, senior middle blocker,
was an AVCA second-team All-Ameri-
can in 2006, is one of the most talented
middle blockers in the Big 12. Stalls
was also named frst-team All-Big 12
in 2006.
Jordan Larson, junior outside hitter,
was all-Big 12 and an All-American in
2006. The scary part is she might be
Nebraskas best player.
Rachel Holloway, sophomore setter,
became only the second setter to lead
the team to a national title. She was a
third-team All-American and frst-team
All-Big 12.

GAMES OF THE WEEK
NO. 24 TExAS TEcH (6-1)
AT NO. 15 MiSSOuri (5-1)
Only five quarterbacks in the
nation average more than 375 pass-
ing yards per game. Two will meet in
Columbia, Mo., on Saturday.
Red Raider quarterback Graham
Harrell and Tiger quarterback Chase
Daniel have combined to throw for
more than 5,000 yards this season.
Harrell and Daniel each has his fair
share of outstanding weapons on the
offensive side of the ball.
Harrells favorite target is fresh-
man wide receiver Michael Crabtree,
who leads the nation in scoring,
receptions and receiving yards.
Daniel frequently looks toward
tight ends Martin Rucker and Chase
Coffman, two of the nations best.
With so much firepower on both
offenses, the winning team will likely
be the one that avoids turnovers.
KANSAS STATE (4-2) AT
OKlAHOMA STATE (4-3)
Kansas States James Johnson and
Oklahoma States Dantrell Savage
were the Big 12 Conferences most
impressive running backs last week-
end.
Savage gouged the Nebraska
defense for 212 yards and a touch-
down while Johnson embarrassed
Colorado with 159 yards and two
touchdowns. The two will face sig-
nificantly better rushing defenses
this weekend.
Senior middle linebacker Justin
Roland leads a strong rotation of
linebackers for the Wildcats with
seven tackles per game. Oklahoma
State sophomore linebacker Patrick
Lavine has transformed into one of
the conferences best as a fierce run
stopper.
The Cowboys lead the all-time
series by 10 games.
NO. 17 AuburN (5-2) AT
NO. 4 lSu (6-1)
The annual battle between the
two Southeastern Conference teams
with the nickname Tigers has
showcased defense and close games
the past three years. Neither team
has scored more than 20 points or
won by more than four in that span.
Theres no reason to believe this
weekends game will be any differ-
ent.
LSU quarterback Matt Flynn has
struggled with his accuracy and
is only completing 53 percent of
his passes. Despite the strong play
of backup Ryan Perrilloux, Flynn
remains the starter. Left without a
top-shelf offensive line and his lead-
ing receiver from last year, Auburn
quarterback Brandon Cox has
thrown seven interceptions and only
four touchdowns.
The nations two best defensive
linemen will play in this game as
LSU senior Glenn Dorsey faces off
against Auburn senior Quentin
Groves.
NO. 15 FlOridA (4-2) AT
NO. 8 KENTucKy (5-1)
After last weeks monumental vic-
tory against LSU in Lexington, Ky.,
22 people were arrested in the cel-
ebrating that ensued. If the Wildcats
beat the Gators this weekend, expect
that number to skyrocket.
The last time Kentucky beat
Florida was 1986, one year before
Emmitt Smiths freshman season as a
Gator. This year looks to be as good
of a chance as ever for coach Rich
Brooks Wildcats. New defensive
coordinator Steve Brown has turned
Kentuckys defense from laughable
to respectable in one year.
Led by sophomore cornerbacks
Trevard Lindley and Paul Warford,
the Wildcats rank 17th in the nation
in passing-efficiency defense. They
will prove to be formidable foes
for Gator quarterback Tim Tebow,
who is completing 65 percent of his
passes with 13 touchdowns and only
three interceptions on the season.
NO. 12 cAliFOrNiA (5-1)
AT uclA (4-2)
Last year UCLA ruined in-state
rival USCs season with an upset at
its home stadium, the Rose Bowl.
This year, it looks to do the same to
its other in-state rival, California.
Bruin senior defensive end Bruce
Davis is eighth in the nation with 6.5
sacks. UCLA will likely send a vari-
ety of blitzes in an attempt to startle
Golden Bear backup freshman quar-
terback Kevin Riley.
Despite a miscue in the final play
of the game where Riley failed to
stop the clock, he played well in
his first collegiate start. The Bruins
offense starts with running back
Kahlil Bell, who is averaging more
than five yards per carry, opening
up the pass.
OTHEr GAMES:
NO. 5 OKlAHOMA (6-1)
AT iOWA STATE (1-6)
The Cyclones three Big 12 loss-
es are by an average margin of 32
points. Behind the nations 115th-
ranked scoring offense, Iowa State
will be lucky to stay that close to the
Sooners in the first quarter.
TExAS A&M (5-2) AT
NEbrASKA (4-3)
The coaches of these two teams
are under more pressure than any-
one in the nation to win. Aggie
coach Dennis Franchione was pub-
licly admonished by A&M offi-
cials last week for illegally selling
information through a newsletter.
Cornhusker coach Bill Callahan feels
the heat after Nebraska fired its ath-
letic director earlier this week.
NO. 22 TExAS (5-2)
AT bAylOr (3-4)
It was a tumultuous Saturday for
the Bears last weekend. After return-
ing home from a 48-point loss to
Kansas, Baylor offensive line coach
Eric Schnupp was issued a citation
for urinating on a local bar. A game
against the Longhorns might make
matters worse.
MicHiGAN STATE (5-2)
AT NO. 1 OHiO STATE (7-0)
Michigan State running back
Javon Ringer averages more than
seven yards per carry and will lead
a Spartan surge to dethrone the top-
ranked Buckeyes.
VANdErbilT (3-3) AT NO. 6
SOuTH cArOliNA (6-1)
South Carolina coach Steve
Spurrier has never lost a game to the
Commodores despite meeting them
14 times in his career.
MiSSiSSippi STATE (4-3)
AT NO. 9 WEST VirGiNiA
(5-1)
The Mountaineers marched
into Starkville, Miss., last year and
embarrassed the Bulldogs with a 28-
point victory. But Mississippi State
looks much improved in 2007.
NO. 10 OrEGON (5-1) AT
WASHiNGTON (2-4)
The Duck pass rush has been
relentless behind junior defensive
end Nick Reed and freshman defen-
sive end Kenny Rowe.
NO. 14 uSc (5-1) AT
NOTrE dAME (1-6)
The Trojans havent quite lived up
to their superstar expectations this
season, but they look like an All-Star
team compared to the lowly Irish.
NO. 19 VirGiNiA (6-1) AT
MArylANd (4-2)
Led by top a NFL prospect,
senior defensive end Chris Long, the
Cavaliers have consistently found
ways to eke out victories. Four of
their six wins have come by less than
a touchdown.
NO. 21 TENNESSEE (4-2)
AT AlAbAMA (5-2)
Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban
will make his first appearance in the
annual rivalry game dubbed The
Third Saturday in October and said
it would be one of the most physical
games of the year.
NO. 23 ciNciNNATi (6-1)
AT piTTSburGH (2-4)
The Bearcats rely on jumping to
quick starts, outscoring teams 65-19
in the first quarter this season.
NO. 25 MicHiGAN (5-2)
AT illiNOiS (5-2)
Behind holes created by senior
tackle Jake Long, Wolverine running
back Mike Hart leads the nation with
150 rushing yards per game.

The KU soccer team will hit
the road again this weekend in
Colorado and Texas to meet two
conference rivals. This weekend
will be the last time the Jayhawks
will be traveling during their
regular season.
Friday, the team will face off
against the Buffaloes at 4 p.m.
in Boulder, Colo. On Sunday,
the Jayhawks will meet the
Longhorns in at 1 p.m. in Austin,
Texas.
The Jayhawks tied Oklahoma
State last weekend 2-2 through
two overtime periods. Kansas
lost the second game of the
weekend to Oklahoma, 2-1.
Kansas has played conference
rival Colorado twelve times, and
the Buffaloes lead the record
6-5-1 and are 3-2 against the
Jayhawks at home. Colorado
took home a victory after play-
ing Baylor last weekend 3-2 but
fell to the Texas A&M Aggies 4-
2. This season, the Buffaloes are
at a 7-4-3 overall record, and are
3-2 in conference.
The Soccer America Poll
ranked the Longhorns No. 1 in
the country last Monday. They
have since fallen to No. 6 after
losing to Texas A&M 2-0. Texas
has scored 25 goals this season,
is 9-1-2 overall, and is 2-0-1 in
conference play. Seven of the
teams nine victories have been at
home this season, which is where
the Jayhawks will meet them on
Sunday. Kansas has only won
one out of twelve games against
Texas. They also tied once.

H
ere are the players who
should shine in this week-
ends games, and those
who will fall short of expectations.
The besT
New Orleans quarterback
Drew Brees: The New Orleans
offense was struggling before this
past weekend, but everything
started to click against Seattle. This
weekend Brees and the Saints face
a Falcons defense that just gave 303
passing yards to Giants quarterback
Eli Manning. Brees should have a
lot of opportunities to throw the
ball in the Saints explosive offense
on Sunday, which could lead to a
lot of points.
New York Jets running back
Thomas Jones: The Jets running
back woke up last Sunday, running
for 130 yards. Cincinnatis defense
is nonexistent. The Jets lack of a
proven passing game will put most
of the offensive load on Jones, who
should run all over the Cincinnati
defense.
Tampa Bay wide receiver Joey
Galloway: Tampa Bay has been
depleted at running back, lead-
ing to the trade with the Chiefs
for Michael Bennett. Jeff Garcia
has proven to be a valuable pick
up for the Buccaneers, and he has
Galloway, who is one of the most
underrated receivers in the NFL.
The Buccaneers face the Lions,
who have the 30th-ranked passing
defense in the NFL, this Sunday.
Name one of the Lions corner-
backs. Exactly. Galloway will have
a big game on Sunday.
Seattle Defense: The Seahawks
stumbled against New Orleans last
Sunday but had a lot of chances to
win. They will play a Rams team
this weekend that hasnt been able
to generate any offense this season.
Injuries to Steven Jackson and
Marc Bulger have been key fac-
tors to the Rams lack of offense.
With Gus Frerotte at the helm
at quarterback for the Rams, the
Seahawks should be able to stop
the Rams offense dead in its tracks
and cause a lot of turnovers.
The worsT
Pittsburgh quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger: Pittsburgh is not a
pass-oriented offense. The Steelers
rely on the running game for most
of their offensive production. That
is a good thing because Pittsburgh
will face the number-one passing
defense on Sunday in the Denver
Broncos. Champ Bailey is arguably
the best cornerback in the league
and the addition of Dre Bly to the
Denver secondary made it that much
more formidable. Roethlisberger
will struggle on Sunday, but it will
be up to the running game to carry
the Steelers.
Chiacgo running back Cedric
Benson: The Bears thought Benson
was ready to step up and replace
Thomas Jones as the starting run-
ning back in Chicago. It looks like
they were wrong. Benson has only
370 yards rushing through the first
six games, and he is only averag-
ing 3.1 yards per carry. Chicago
will play Philadelphia on Sunday,
and the Eagles have the ninth best
rushing defense in the league. The
Bears and Benson will have a tough
time getting any momentum going
in the running game on Sunday.
Arizona wide receiver Larry
Fitzgerald: The Arizona Cardinals
are tied for the lead in the NFC
West, but they have had their share
of struggles this season. Both Matt
Leinart and Kurt Warner have
gone down with injuries, leaving
the Cardinals to start Tim Rattay
at quarterback this weekend.
Rattay was just signed before last
weekends game and does not
completely know the offense yet.
This and the fact that the Redskins,
Arizonas opponent on Sunday,
have the fifth best passing defense
in the NFL will create problems for
Fitzgerald.
Miami defense: The Dolphins
are pretty much guaranteed to fall
to 0-7 this weekend. They returned
the defensive player-of-the-year in
Jason Taylor, but they just havent
played as well as last season. The
Dolphins play the team with the
best overall offense in the NFL on
Sunday. The Patriots barely ran
the ball last weekend against the
Cowboys and still put 48 points on
the scoreboard. The Dolphins are
sure to have problems stopping the
Patriots this weekend.

Tennis players advance to
fnal 64-player round
After taking frst place in the
Flight E bracket at the Hoosier
Classic in Indiana, Yuliana Svistun
has continued her winning ways
by advancing to the main singles
draw of the ITA Central Region
Championships in Tulsa, Okla.
The Ufa, Russia, junior needed
to win two matches to advance
to the main singles draw. She did
just that by beating Air Forces
Christine Abayan 4-6, 6-0, 1-0
(5) and then Colorados Jendian
Franzi 6-3, 6-2 to qualify.
Svistun will join the 64-player
singles bracket,
which opens
play on Thurs-
day. The bracket
includes fellow
Kansas players
Elizaveta Avde-
eva and Kuni-
gunda Dorn,
who already
qualifed for the main draw.
Junior Edina Horvath and fresh-
man Maria Martinez also partici-
pated in qualifying singles, but
each found themselves one win
short of advancing to the main
draw. Horvath narrowly missed
qualifying losing a close three-set
match to Colorados Gleisy Torres
Torres 6-3, 3-6, 1-0 (8).
Later this week Avdeeva and
Horvath also will defend their
doubles title from last years tour-
nament. They will be in a good
position to win the event again,
as they have been given the No. 2
seed. Avdeeva and Horvath have
already found doubles success
this season by taking second
place in the Cissie Leary Tourna-
ment in the frst event of the
season.

Swimmers get feet wet
in frst meet of season
After more than a month of
practice, the Kansas swimming
and diving team will see its frst
competition today at the Big 12 Re-
lays in Ames, Iowa. The relays will
continue tomorrow at Northern
Iowa. The dive team will compete
in an exhibition against Missouri,
Iowa State and Texas A&M.
The team, which is hoping to
build on a third place fnish at the
Big 12 Championships last season,
began regular practices Sept. 10
after completing a month-long
series of ofseason workouts that
began in August.
The Jayhawks placed fourth
at the Big 12 Relays a year ago
and steadily improved as a team
throughout the season. Two
swimmers qualifed and competed
in the NCAA Championships in
Minneapolis following the regular
season and the teams fnish at the
Big 12 Championships.
Although the squad lost several
team members to graduation last
year, it has welcomed nine athletes
who hope to contribute to the
Jayhawks success this season.
A challenging schedule awaits
the Jayhawks this year, which
includes a tough conference
schedule that complements high-
level competitions at the Kenyon
Nike Invite and the Houston Diving
Invitational, both of which are in
November.
They will also host a meet
against Missouri next Friday that
will provide a good test for the
squad and a chance for redemp-
tion. Last year, the Tigers defeated
the Jayhawks in Columbia, Mo., be-
fore Kansas responded by beating
out Missouri for third place in the
conference later in the season.

Kansas is riding a six-game
winning streak, its longest
since 1995, and has outscored
opponents 302-57. The team
is at or near the top of the Big
12 Conference in every major
statistical category and is one of
the nations most well-rounded
teams. The Jayhawks seemed
to have solved some of their
road woes in a 30-24 victory
at Kansas State two weeks ago
but visiting Colorado has never
been easy for the team the
last time Kansas left Boulder
with a victory was 1995.

Senior defensive tackle James
McClinton. Colorado quarter-
back Cody Hawkins is a redshirt
freshman with seven games
of collegiate experience. So far
this season,
Hawkins has
not always
made the
best deci-
sions when
put under
pressure,
throwing 12
interceptions.
McClinton
could be the source of some
serious pressure Saturday. The
defensive tackle has earned a
spot among the nations elite
this season by getting of the
line of scrimmage with unbe-
lievable speed.
Will the thin air afect the
Jayhawks? Mangino and senior
tight end Derek Fine both said
playing at approximately 6,000
feet above sea level should not
afect Kansas.
How will the Kansas of-
fensive line fare? The Jayhawks
interior ofensive linemen
have performed well all season
long, but they face a stern test
in Colorado defensive tackle
George Hypolite. The 6-foot-
1, 285-pound lineman is an
absolute freak in terms of speed
and strength and could catch
Kansas of-guard.

Senior linebacker Jordon
Dizon. Dizon has a tendency
to turn the football feld into
his playground. He sprints to
the ball and
knocks down
anyone and
everyone in
his way. By
averaging
13.9 tackles
per game,
hes a lock
for All-Big 12
honors and
is an All-American candidate.
The KU ofense hasnt met a
linebacker the caliber of Dizon,
and he could give it fts.
How will they get pressure
on Todd Reesing? The Bufaloes
are last in the Big 12 with only
eight sacks. George Hypolite is
a fantastic pass rusher up front
but doesnt have much help.
Dizon also fnds success when
he blitzes, but hes too invalu-
able to the defense to send at
the quarterback repeatedly.
Will Colorado win the
turnover battle? Against
Kansas State, it turned the ball
over four times but had no
takeaways. Cody Hawkins was
responsible for three intercep-
tions, and coach Dan Hawkins
said he was forcing the ball
into too tight of spots. On the
season, the Bufaloes turnover
margin is minus two.
OFFenSe
Senior running back Hugh Charles missed two games early in the
season and not coincidentally, those games accounted for the lowest
production from the Colorado ofense. Charles may be one of the
nations best-kept secrets as his blistering speed to the edges has led
him to an average of more than six yards per carry. Freshman running
back Demetrius Sumler adds depth but hasnt showed much explo-
siveness. Freshman wide receivers Scotty McKnight and Josh Smith
have worked their way to the top of the depth chart and serve as
quarterback Cody Hawkins favorite targets. Hawkins frst season run-
ning the ofense has been impressive at times. He averages 240 pass-
ing yards per game but has more interceptions than touchdowns.
DeFenSe
If any linebacker in the nation aspires to be better than Bufalo
senior Jordon Dizon, they have some catching up to do. Dizon leads
the nation with 97 tackles through seven games. He also can make an
impact blitzing and isnt a liability in pass coverage. Senior cornerback
Terrence Wheatley is the second stand-out player on the Colorado
defense. Wheatley ranks third in the Big 12 with nine passes defended
despite teams often throwing away from him. Most of the passing
yards gained on the CU defense come from opposing quarterbacks
throwing at the other defensive backs. George Hypolite, a 285-pound
defensive tackle, uses his deceptive quickness to rush the quarter-
back and hunt down running backs.
SpeCIAl TeAMS
Senior kicker Kevin Eberhart became Boulders town hero after
booting a career-high 45-yard feld goal to upset Okla-
homa three weeks ago. Eberhart missed two feld
goals in the Bufaloes frst game but has been per-
fect since. With playmakers Terrence
Wheatley and Chase McBride han-
dling return duties, Colorado has
received consistent feld position. It
ranks only 64th in the nation in net
punting, though, as sophomore
Matt DiLallo hasnt been as ef-
fcient as he was last year.
MOMenTUM
Although the Bufaloes looked sloppy in
a 47-20 loss to Kansas State last weekend,
the team morale should still be high. At this
point last year, Colorados record was 1-6,
and it was merely playing for respect. This
season, the Bufaloes are playing for
higher stakes: bowl eligibility and
an outside shot at the Big 12 North.
Add in that they get to play one
of only six undefeated teams in the
nation, at home no less, and the Bufaloes
should be ecstatic.
COACHInG
Coach Dan Hawkins didnt get of to the start he envisioned
last year when Colorado went 2-10 in his frst season at the
helm. But in his second year, the team seems to be more used
to his style and schemes. Ofensive coordinator Mark Helfrichs
ofense looks much improved as does Ron Collins defense. But still,
the coaching staf is only 6-13 overall at Colorado.
OFFenSe
Against Baylor last weekend, for the frst time all season, the
Kansas ofense looked out of sync. The Bears 4-2-5 defense gave
the KU receivers fts, and they didnt help their own cause much by
dropping a number of catchable passes. Despite the minor hiccups,
sophomore running back Jake Sharp and sophomore quarterback
Todd Reesing kept the ofense above water, and Kansas ended up
scoring 58 points a school record in conference play.
DeFenSe
The Jayhawk defense has been nearly fawless this season, and its
only getting better. The secondary shut down a potent Baylor passing
attack last Saturday as freshman cornerback Chris Harris continued
to evolve into a star, recording his frst career interception. The front
seven has been able to apply consistent pressure to opposing quar-
terbacks all season long, and senior defensive tackle James McClinton
is an absolute beast against both the run and the pass. Through six
games, the defense has been Kansas most valuable asset.
SpeCIAl TeAMS
The punting picture got even more confusing last weekend as
sophomore quarterback Kerry Meier punted three times in place of
senior punter Kyle Tucker. After an exceptional sophomore season
and a decent junior campaign, Tucker has lost his touch in the midst
of what coach Mark Mangino called a slump. But the kick-return
game has been steady for Kansas, especially junior wide receiver
Marcus Herford, who has returned two kickofs for touchdowns this
season.
MOMenTUM
After a 4-0 nonconference season in which the
Jayhawks completely dismantled and overmatched all
of their opponents, it seemed the team couldnt get
much hotter. Turns out they could. After defeat-
ing Kansas State in Manhattan for the frst time
since 1989, Kansas thoroughly embarrassed
Baylor last weekend, stretching the teams
winning streak to six games and push-
ing Kansas to No. 13 in the BCS rank-
ings. Its been a dozen years since
Kansas football has enjoyed this
kind of success.
COACHInG
Add another tally to the ever growing list of great decisions by
Mangino this season: Removing freshman wide receiver Raimond
Pendleton from the role of punt returner was a necessary move
because sophomore cornerback Anthony Webb looks a little less
clueless but a bit too reckless while felding punts. Ofen-
sive coordinator Ed Warinner also has been scheming hard in
recent weeks, devising a new and exciting punt formation that
further utilizes Kerry Meiers athleticism and makes coaches
think twice before sending their punt-block defense onto the
feld.
