Megan OMalley didnt know when she
traveled to South Africa last summer that
two girls she met would die from AIDS
before she returned to the United States.
OMalley, Overland Park senior, traveled
across the world to work with the AIDS
Haven in Port Elizabeth, South Africa,
through AIESEC, an international student
exchange organization.
The focus of the AIDS Haven is to coun-
sel children and adults with AIDS, to edu-
cate those who live with someone who has
AIDS and to educate children with AIDS.
The Haven also provides support groups
for those affected and creates on-going
staff education in handling death.
OMalley said the two girls Siphokazi,
who was nine, and Sisipho, who was four
were the two children in the orphan-
age who most looked up to her. She said
two more children were brought in to fill
vacancies at the orphanage immediately
after Siphokazi and Sisipho died.
It fluctuates so much, sadly, OMalley
said. No one should ever have to attend
the funeral of a child.
To help raise awareness for the AIDS
epidemic in Africa, AIESEC will spon-
sor an event, Explore Africa, for the
AIDS Haven at 7 p.m. at the Ecumenical
Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
AIESEC, the worlds largest student
organization, sends 4,500 students each
year to work in different countries around
the world and the organization is present
at 1,100 universities in more than 105
countries.
Marley Parsons, vice president of events
for AIESEC in Kansas, said that once a
month the group sponsored Global Village
events, such as Explore Africa, that focus
on different countries. She said people
from different countries set up tables with
pictures, clothing and food.
They just talk about their culture and
represent all different aspects of their
country, Parsons said.
She said different organizations also
attend the events. This evening, Kansas
Africa Relief, or KAR, UNICEF, Peace
Corps, Oxfam and KU for Uganda will
attend the event. Parsons said the countries
that would be represented this evening
were Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Senegal,
South Africa, Ghana and Ethiopia.
Parsons said the events focused on dem-
onstrating different aspects of each coun-
trys cultures.

Erica Binns dons a bright
blue wig, fiery red contact lenses
and a white form-fitting suit. The
outfit cost $300 to make and took
six months to construct. She didnt
make it for Halloween; she made it
for an anime festival.
Binns, Olathe senior, modeled her
latest costume on a character from
Neon Genesis
Evangelion. Her
costume won a
prize at Naka-Kon,
an anime festival in
Kansas City, Mo.,
where she competed
with other fans
who dressed up as
various Japanese
cartoon characters.
I like the
challenge of creating
a character and
pulling off the costume convincingly,
Binns said.
Binns is among a growing
number of Japanese anime fans at
the University of Kansas. Not many
students dress up as anime characters,
let alone create character costumes;
however, Dee Hogan, Leavenworth
junior and president of the KU Anime
Club, said that more students are
getting interested in anime and that
the club had more than 40 members
this year.
Hogan said many Americans
still believed anime was only for
children, but she said it could be
instead accessible to a wider audience
because of its solid plots and variety of
genres, including comedy, fantasy and
romance.
To me, anime is another medium
of sitcoms, Hogan said.
William Tsutsui, professor of
history who
studies Japanese
history and
popular culture,
said Japanese
animation had
spread across the
world during the
past 15 years.
A lot of
A m e r i c a n s ,
e s p e c i a l l y
American youth,
have really come
to enjoy and really identify with anime
and its sensibilities, Tsutsui said. The
anime popularity is going to be a peak
soon.
Michiko Ito, Japanese studies
librarian, said the success of the two
children programs Sailor Moon and
Pokemon was a turning point of the
anime boom in the U.S. After the two
programs became popular in the late
1990s, more Japanese anime programs
were exported to the U.S., including
series that older audience could enjoy.
Erik Buchholz, St. Louis senior, said
he enjoyed the complexity of anime.
He said while many anime series were
set in imaginary and fantasy world,
some of them portrayed the dark side
of society and challenged what people
took for granted, such as gender roles.
It makes social norms visible by
breaking them, Buchholz said.
Tsutsui said anime was largely
based on Japanese cultural and social
backgrounds, and it could be hard for
the American audience to understand
all the contexts.
In one way, thats an appeal of
anime, he said. It allows Americans
to imagine things.
He also said Japanese anime could
be appealing to Americans who
didnt fit into the mainstream popular
culture.
Americans who like anime see
themselves as being rebellious,
opposing American pop cultures
because anime is so different from
Hollywood and traditional narratives
Hollywood puts out, Tsutsui said.
They see themselves as kind of an
underground movement opposing
American society.
American fans also contributed to
the creation of the anime subculture

Student Senate notebook
Senate splits campaign
legislation into 3 parts
Student Senate voted to
separate the bill that would
have shortened the time al-
lowed for campaigning prior to
elections and cut the amount
of money coalitions can spend
on campaigning. The bill was
separated into three parts and
each part was voted on indi-
vidually. The frst part, which
limited the amount of time
allowed for campaigning activi-
ties prior to elections, passed.
Senate voted to table the
two other parts, which would
have created a new Elections
Reform Board and limited the
amount of money coalitions
could spend on their cam-
paigns. Senate will reexamine
the two pieces of legislation
and eventually submit them to
the Elections Commission. The
Elections Commission is an un-
biased board of disinterested
individuals who create rules for
Senate elections.

Ofcer faces suspension
over his mustache length
SYLVANIA, Ohio A police
ofcer was suspended for three
days without pay in a tussle over
whether he whacked his mus-
tache to regulation length.
The facial hair of Ofcer Ron Dicus
was the subject of a three-hour
hearing Tuesday night before
the Sylvania Township Board of
Trustees.
Trustees determined the nine-
year police veteran had been in-
subordinate. Dicus countered that
he shortened his bushy mustache
once when he was warned and
again when he was charged.
Police Chief Robert Metzger de-
scribed the stache as a General
Custer-type that extended below
the mouth in violation of depart-
ment policy.
Dicus said he plans to take the
dispute to arbitration.

The phone rings, but Tom
Kivisto doesnt answer. It doesnt
matter whos calling he doesnt
pick up.
The former Kansas basketball
player and long-time donor to
the Athletics Department hasnt
been heard from much since July
18. Thats when he was removed
as president and CEO of his own
company, SemGroup LP, which
filed for bankruptcy after citing
losses of at least $2.4 billion.
According to the company,
Kivisto owes at least $290 million
for trading losses associated with
one of his private companies.
The field at Memorial Stadium
was named Kivisto Field in 2006
after Kivisto pledged $12 million
to the department to help pay for
the new football practice facility
that was completed this summer.
Its unclear exactly how much of
the $12 million has been paid,
but published reports say that at
least $4 million has already been
received by the
University.
When Kivisto
was ousted at
S e m G r o u p ,
some questioned
if he would
still be able to
come up with
the remaining
money he had promised. But
according to Dale Seuferling,
president of the KU Endowment
Association, Kivisto is on
schedule with his payments.
The obligation that Mr.
Kivisto has to KU is current and
up to date, Seuferling said. Its
currently satisfied to this date.
Its unclear exactly what would
happen if Kivisto were unable to
pay the remaining debt to the
department.
Donors who pledge large
amounts of money to the
University as Kivisto did typically
will set up a payment plan with
the Endowment Association
and make certain payments on
the dates chosen by the donor.
According to Seuferling, Kivisto
hasnt missed any payments, but
he wouldnt say how much had
been paid or when the next
payment was due.
We dont get into specifics
like that publicly, Seuferling
said.
Kivisto returned to Lawrence
to make his first public
appearance when he watched
the KU-Sam Houston State game
Sept. 20 as a guest of Associate
Athletics Director John Hadl.
Kivisto founded SemGroup,
an energy company which
transports oil from the well to
the refinery, in 2000 and turned
it into one of the nations top
private companies. According to
www.forbes.com, the company
made 47 acquisitions in eight
years bringing in revenue of
$13.2 billion.
Kivisto made and eventually
lost his money by hedging, a
process that usually minimizes
financial risk. Companies such
as SemGroup bought barrels
of oil for a certain price and
then predicted what the barrels
would be selling for two months
later committing themselves
to sell at that price. If the actual
price in two months ended up
being lower, then the company
profited. If the market price
was higher than the committed
price, then the company would
have to pay for the difference
itself and lose money.
With the rise in oil prices
in the last year, SemGroup
was losing money too often to
profit. According to The Kansas
City Star, it looks as if Kivisto
thought the price would even
out and come back down so
he kept hedging and continued
to lose money. Now, the
company is being investigated
by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and its possible
that Kivistos questionable
actions could send him to jail.
Since his removal, he has
made only one public statement.
He has done no interviews and
has not talked to several of
his friends. It appears he has
secluded himself inside his Tulsa
home, waiting for a chance to
tell his side of the story.
With an investigation under
way, I cannot answer any of the
pressing questions or comment
on speculations regarding the
SemGroup situation, Kivisto
said in the statement in late
July. With investigations, and
the complexities of the issues,
these explanations are slow in
coming. I trust, however, as the
facts and truths surrounding
this chain of events are revealed,
the SemGroup employees will
regain their trust in what they
initially believed.
And while he reportedly
owes $290 million to SemGroup
and some of his remaining $12
million pledge to the University,
Kivisto has the support and
backing of many who have been
associated with him.
Tom Kivisito has been a
member of the Kansas athletics
family for a long time, said Jim
Marchiony, associate athletics
director. We still consider him
a member of the family and
we support him as much as we
can.

ANd SETH BORENSTEIN
ASSOcIATEd PRESS
NEW DELHI India launched
its first mission to the moon
Wednesday, rocketing a satellite
up into the pale dawn sky in a
two-year mission to redraw maps
of the lunar surface.
Clapping and cheering sci-
entists tracked the ascent on
computer screens after they lost
sight of Chandrayaan-1 from the
Sriharikota space center in south-
ern India. Chandrayaan means
Moon Craft in ancient Sanskrit.
Indian Space Research
Organization chairman G.
Madhavan Nair said the mission
is to unravel the mystery of the
moon.
We have started our journey
to the moon and the first leg has
gone perfectly well, he said.
Chief among the missions goals
is mapping not only the surface of
the moon, but what lies beneath.
If successful, India will join whats
shaping up as a 21st century space
race with Chinese and Japanese
crafts already in orbit around the
moon.
As Indias economy has
boomed in recent years, it has
sought to convert its newfound
wealth built on the nations
high-tech sector into political
and military clout. It is hoping
that the moon mission coming
just months after finalizing a deal
with the United States that recog-
nizes India as a nuclear power
will further enhance its status.
Until now, Indias space launch-
es have mainly carried weather
warning satellites and communi-
cation systems, said former NASA
associate administrator Scott Pace,
director of space policy at the
George Washington University.
Youre seeing India lifting its
sights, Pace said.
While much of the technol-
ogy involved in reaching the
moon has not changed since the
Soviet Union and the U.S. did
it more than four decades ago,
analysts say new mapping equip-
ment allows the exploration of
new areas, including below the
surface.
India plans to use the
3,080-pound lunar probe to create
a high-resolution map of the lunar
surface and the minerals below.
Two of the mapping instruments
are a joint project with NASA.
In the last year, Asian nations
have taken the lead in moon explo-
ration. In October 2007, Japan
sent up the Kaguya spacecraft.
A month later, Chinas Change-1
entered lunar orbit.
Those missions took high-
resolution pictures of the moon,
but are not as comprehensive as
Chandrayaan-1 will be or NASAs
half-a-billion-dollar Lunar
Reconnaissance Orbiter sched-
uled to be launched next year,
Pace said. The most compre-
hensive maps of the moon were
made about 40 years ago during
the Apollo era, he said.
We dont really have really
good modern maps of the moon
with modern instrument, Pace
said. The quality of the Martian
maps, I would make a general
argument, is superior to what we
have of the moon.
NASA has put probes on Mars
frigid polar region, but not on the
rugged poles of the moon. Yet the
moons south pole is where NASA
is considering setting up an even-
tual human-staffed lunar outpost,
Pace said.
The moons south pole is cer-
tainly more rugged than where
Neil Armstrong landed. Its more
interesting. Its more dangerous,
Pace said. We need better maps.
Beijing in 2003 became the
first Asian country to put its
own astronauts into space. It fol-
lowed that last month with its first
spacewalk.
More ominously, last year
China also blasted an old satellite
into oblivion with a land-based
anti-satellite missile, the first such
test ever conducted by any nation,
including the United States and
Russia.
The Indian mission is not
all about rivalry and prestige.
Analysts say India stands to reap
valuable rewards from the tech-
nology it develops and, accord-
ing to Pace, it already shows
increased confidence in difficult
engineering and quality control.
The $80 million mission will
test systems for a future moon
landing, with plans to land a
rover on the moon in 2011 and
eventually a manned space pro-
gram, though this has not been
authorized yet.
And the Indian space agency
was already dreaming of more.
Space is the frontier for man-
kind in the future. If we want to
go beyond the moon, we have to
go there first, said Indian space
agency spokesman S. Satish.
NEWS 4A thursday, october 23, 2008
in the U.S.
Some devoted fans attend
anime festivals, known as
conventions, which take place
in several major cities across the
country and feature costume and
video game contests and karaoke.
Tim Howe, Mission junior, went
to a convention in Tulsa, Okla,,
last summer. He said he and his
friends drove to Tulsa to see a
guest speaker at the convention,
who was one of his favorite
voice actors. At the convention,
Howe dressed up in a traditional
Japanese warrior outfit that
his friend made. He said many
attendants dressed up as anime
characters, and that he had a fun
time socializing with them.
Some other fans publish fan
fictions, in which anime fans
rewrite stories using their favorite
characters.
Tsutsui said some people
were worried that the anime
trend would negatively influence
American youth because some
anime programs contained
violence. He said the anime
boom should bring more benefits
than harm, such as increasing
young peoples interest in Japan.
Tsutsui said 25 years ago, when
he was studying Japanese at
Harvard, more students were
studying Japanese because they
were interested in martial arts
and Zen Buddhism. He said over
time, American students interest
in Japan shifted to business and
now to popular culture.
For example, Tsutsui said some
KU students, like Tim Howe,
enrolled in Japanese classes
because they were motivated by
their interests in anime. Howe
studied in Japan for three months
in 2006. He said his interest in
Japan branched out from anime
to Japanese history.
Students on campus can
also learn about anime in the
classroom. Michiko Ito taught a
Japanese course last year which
combined language and anime
for advanced level students. She
said students watched anime
and read comics in Japanese
and discussed the background
of those materials. The materials
included Cyborg 009, which
was created in the late 1960s and
renounced war.

and the organization just led me
straight to it.
OMalley, who lived in an AIDS
orphanage for two months in South
Africa last summer, said 35 percent
of people in South Africa had HIV.
She said 20 to 30 children,
who ranged from one week to 10
years old, stayed at the orphan-
age. AIDS had affected all of the
children in some way. Some had
parents who died from AIDS,
while others had contracted the
virus themselves.
While in the South Africa,
OMalley said she visited class-
rooms of students ranging from
first through 12th grade and spoke
with them about AIDS.
Its a difficult message to con-
vey, OMalley said. Not only with
applying the message to the age
group youre speaking to, but also
because theres a certain stigma
about it there and most people
dont like to talk about it.
Beverly Mack, professor of
African studies said it should be a
requirement for all students to go
to a foreign country.
We are so insulated, Mack
said. Students dont know any-
thing about Africa, Israel, the
Middle East because we are totally
absorbed in our own life culture,
which is a dangerous life.
Mack said the University should
expose students to disciplines and
cultures that were different from
their own. She said the point of
education was to open our minds.
And you cant do that if you
focus every conscious thought on
our own culture, Mack said.
Mack said the personal, social
and governmental rewards would
be tremendous if students would
just go outside of their own coun-
try.

Kathryn Clark, a tan 20-year-
old blonde loves all kinds of
weather. But when the sky dark-
ens and a storm rolls in is when
she really gets excited. Ever since
she was a sophomore in high
school, Clark, a Dallas junior,
and her dad have gone out in his
Yukon SUV chasing tornadoes
just for fun.
Its an adrenaline rush, said
Clark, an atmospheric science
major, and one of a growing num-
ber of women going into broad-
cast meteorology.
At the University of Kansas
there has been a rise in the num-
ber of women taking meteorology
classes.
Donna Tucker, associate pro-
fessor of atmospheric science,
said this was the first semester in
her 15 years of teaching that an
equal number of men and women
had taken her senior weather
analysis and forecasting class.
The class had previously been
male-dominated.
Nationally, the number of
women in broadcast meteorology
is on the rise. Of the National
Weather Associations 980 mem-
bers in 2008, 24 percent are
women. Thats up from 21 percent
in 2006. In 2005, the American
Meteorological Society reported
that 19 percent of its 545 mem-
bers in broadcast meteorology
were women.
Though more women are going
into the field, the ratio of men to
women is still disproportionate.
When I was a youngster myself,
all I ever saw were men in the pro-
fession, said Erin Little, a broad-
cast meteorologist at KMBC-TV
in Kansas City, Mo. Now in any
station across the country you see
women in the field.
Those that have a passion for
it are realizing its not just a mans
profession, she said.
Katie Horner, chief meteorolo-
gist at KCTV 5 in Kansas City,
Mo., said part of the reason more
women were becoming meteorol-
ogists was because of the dimin-
ished stereotyping of women
meteorologists.
In the past, women were
looked at as weather bunnies,
she said. Now, women have
improved their image by obtain-
ing degrees in meteorology
proving they are just as smart as
their male counterparts.
But both women and men are
likely to have trouble finding jobs
in the field when they graduate.
Tucker said meteorology jobs were
available for about 10 percent of
graduates and for 2008 and 2009,
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
expects opportunities for broad-
cast meteorologists to remain rare
and highly competitive.
The lack of jobs is also driving
salaries lower and causing the
jobs perks to disappear.
Mark Reynolds, chief meteo-
rologist of WJHL-TV in Johnson
City, Tenn., gathered information
from more than 150 broadcast
meteorologists in 210 markets.
He found that news stations paid
for 66 percent of meteorologists
haircuts in 2006 compared with
61 percent in 2008. Also, sta-
tions that paid for yearly gym
memberships decreased from 19
percent in 2006 to 11 percent in
2008.
Despite these statistics, Clark
said she wasnt worried about
finding a job. Shes looking into
learning Spanish because she
said there were only three or
four Spanish-speaking broadcast
meteorologists in the country.
No matter what happens with
a job, though, she can always
chase those tornadoes.
I love all of it. All the good
stuff, she said.

Stores beneft from growing popularity of Halloween
BY MICHELLE SPREHE
msprehe@kansan.com
As a child, Kyle Billings vaguely
remembers trips to the tiny Fun
& Games store in Downtown
Lawrence during the Halloween
season. Thirty years ago, it sold
a small number of costumes,
accessories and toys. Billings
bought the store 10 years ago and
last year, moved it to a building
four times larger on 23rd Street to
allow for the growing demand of
Halloween items.
According to history.com,
the popularity of Halloween has
increased so much through the
years that Americans spend $6.9
billion on the holiday annually,
which makes it the second-largest
commercial holiday.
The Halloween industry no
longer consists of only costumes
and candy. Andrew Goodrich,
assistant manager at Spirit
Halloween said decorations,
novelty items and accessories were
all big sellers in Lawrence because
of all the college parties.
It has exploded in what is
offered, said Billings. Ten years
ago it was minimal. But now
quality has increased and costs and
inventory gets larger each year.
Unlike its competitors, Fun &
Games has costumes, wigs and
makeup for sale year-round. To
meet the Halloween demands,
Billings carries more than 1,000
different styles of costumes.
Some requests we get are off
the wall, Billings said. If we dont
have a costume, then I try to help
them put something together.
Billings said about 75 percent
of his yearly profit comes from the
Halloween season.
Sara Rice, assistant manager
at Party America, also said that
her store relied heavily on the
Halloween season for most of its
profit. Rice has worked at Party
America for 10 years, watching
the trends come and go, and says
the season is bigger than it used
to be.
I think its becoming more of
an adult holiday, Rice said.
Rice said that most of the
customers who bought costumes
tend to be women. The most
expensive costume in Party
America is a musketeer girl for
$100.
Guys will be whatever, Rice
said. They wont come in and say,
Ive got to be a cow.
During the past 10 years, the
prices of costumes have changed
only slightly, but the quality
has changed dramatically, Rice
said. Once made out of plastic,
most costumes are cloth now.
The realistic qualities of masks,
costumes and face paint have also
improved.
If customers are looking for
high-quality, realistic costumes,
they can go to Sarahs Fabrics,
which rents theater-quality
costumes for 24 hours at an average
cost of about $30.
It makes me laugh when
people come in here and say they
bought a costume online where
its a costume in the front, but just
a thin piece of fabric in the back,
said Kathy Barland, Sarahs Fabrics
employee.
Billings said that renting was a
good alternative if customers didnt
want to buy something they might
only wear once. In 2006, census.
gov recorded 2,077 costume rental
establishments in the nation.
Fewer people I know in the
industry are doing rentals, Billings
said. Its a lot of work because if
the costumes come back damaged
or stained you have to fix them.
Selling costumes online is a new
approach Halloween stores are
using to reach customers. Spirit
Halloween has a Web site with
hundreds of costumes for sale for
men, women and children. Plus
sizes, decorations and accessories
are also available online.
Billings started a Web site for
Fun & Games last summer. No
sales have been made yet but
Billings said he was optimistic.
Billings said he saw a need for an
online store because the holiday
was always expanding and he
wanted to be able to reach more
people.

Mass graves found in
Iraqi river valley
BAGHDAD Iraqi ofcials
Wednesday reported fnding
mass graves with remains of 34
people, most believed to have
been Iraqi army recruits waylaid
three years ago by al-Qaida
gunmen as they traveled to a
training base near the Syrian
border.
Farmers tipped of authori-
ties last week about the graves,
located in the Euphrates River
valley near Syria about 200
miles northwest of Baghdad, ac-
cording to a local mayor, Farhan
Fitaghan.
Fitaghan told The Associated
Press that two of the remains
were women.
Most of the victims were
believed to have been army
recruits from the southern
Shiite city of Karbala who were
traveling by bus in September
2005 to a training camp in an
abandoned phosphate plant in
Qaim when they were stopped
by gunmen and taken away, the
mayor said.
We informed the Karbala
authorities and invited their
families to come and identify
their relatives, said Fitaghan,
the mayor of Qaim. We held an
ofcial funeral procession today
and paid all expenses to send
the cofns to Karbala.

McCain gains ground

WASHINGTON The presi-

fnal debate, with John McCain
gaining among whites and peo-
ple earning less than $50,000,
according to an Associated
Press-GfK poll that shows McCain
and Barack Obama essentially
running even among likely vot-
ers in the election homestretch.
The poll, which found Obama
at 44 percent and McCain at 43
percent, supports what some
Republicans and Democrats pri-
vately have said in recent days:
that the race narrowed after the
third debate as GOP-leaning vot-
ers drifted home to their party

A wild ride that led to Lindsay
Lohans arrest has sparked another
lawsuit.
Court records show that three
men who claim they were in a sport
utility vehicle that Lohan comman-
deered in July 2007 sued the Mean
Girls star last week. Their allegations
include battery, false imprisonment
and that the actress was negligent
when she allegedly took over an SUV
belonging to one of the men to chase
her recently fired assistant.s
That chase ended when the
assistants mother called police
because she was being followed
and led Lohan toward a police sta-
tion. Officers suspected Lohan was
drunk and arrested her.
Lohan eventually pleaded guilty
to two counts of being under the
influence of cocaine stemming
from the Santa Monica arrest and
an earlier drunken driving arrest in
Beverly Hills. She served 84 min-
utes in jail and entered rehab.
Lohans attorney, Ed McPherson,
called the lawsuit absurd.
He claimed the men were having
fun during the chase and ques-
tioned why they waited more than
a year to file suit. It just doesnt
make sense, McPherson said.
They had ample opportunity to
get out of the car.
Its three guys who want to get a
lot of headlines, he said, and want
to make some money.
An attorney for the men, identi-
fied as Ronnie Blake, Jakon Sutter
and Dante Nigro, had said last year
he hoped to avoid filing a lawsuit
against Lohan. McPherson said
there were some early talks, but no
settlement was reached.
The case will be heard in Santa
Monica, where Lohan is also being
sued for emotional distress by a
woman who was in the car that was
being chased by the actress.
The lawsuit, which seeks more
than $25,000 in damages, was first
reported by celebrity gossip Web
site TMZ.

Miss Teen Louisiana loses
crown after drug charges
BOSSIER CITY, La. Miss Teen
Louisiana lost her crown 11 days
early after being arrested on charges
of leaving a restaurant without pay-
ing and carrying marijuana.
RPM Productions Inc., the spon-
sor, took back the title on Tuesday
after learning that Lindsey Evans,
18, of Blanchard, had been arrest-
ed, president Paula M. Miles said
Wednesday.
Evans will have to return her
sash and crown, but wont have
to return any other prizes or cash
equivalents, Miles said.
A call to Evans parents house
was not answered Wednesday.
Miles said she had been told that the
three women with Evans told police
that Evans, alone in the group,
had paid her bill. But Bossier City
spokesman Mark Natale said Evans
admitted not paying.
Bossier City police booked all
four on theft charges, three on
drug charges and two on drug par-
aphernalia charges, he said.
The next Miss Teen Louisiana
will be chosen Nov. 1 at a pageant
in Lafayette.

I've never been this ashamed
of the publication I've worked for
before.
Every day I walk into Stauffer-
Flint, the journalism building
on campus, and see the First
Amendment on the wall. My edu-
cation in this field has explicitly
covered my rights as a journalist.
The government has no right to
meddle in my affairs as a journal-
ist and cannot influence or censor
my work.
With that in mind, understand
my feelings about The University
Daily Kansan teaming up with
Student Senate and University
Relations, the Universitys PR
department, on changing the vul-
gar and tasteless chant that is
yelled during the football games.
I couldnt care less about the
chant itself. What I care about is
what is supposed to be the inde-
pendent student voice on campus,
The Kansan, folding over for the
administration.
We receive no direct fund-
ing from the state, and in doing
so, the administration forfeits all
power over the editorial content.
So the voice of the students is
signing on with the voice of the
University. I want to make it clear
that those are not the same thing.
This is a public, state-funded uni-
versity, and the University does
not own the paper. Nor do they
have the same agenda. One seeks
money while the other seeks the
truth.
This started out in a normal
and what should be permissible
fashion. All students received an
e-mail from football coach Mark
Mangino. While looking like a
deer in headlights, he asked stu-
dents to get loud and abandon
the chant.
No complaints about this.
And then came something that
in the newspaper world should
not be permissible: a blatant PR
piece ran as a front-page article in
an independent newspaper.
The Kansan ran several
articles that plainly stated that
it was teaming up with Student
Senate and University Relations
to change the chant. New chants
have been voted on at kansan.
com, where readers were given
five new chants to choose from
note how voting to keep the chant
was not an option.
The real focus of this change is
ticket sales, TV time and money,
even though it has been made to
look noble for a common student
or ticket buyer. It's not about the
students, what we want to say or
what we think is permissible.
We are being led astray. And
The Kansan is leading you there.
You know what this means?
We are no longer allowed to make
our own traditions unless they are
approved by University Relations.
The trend has just started.
And the worst part about it is
the credibility of our newspaper
is at stake.
This is no longer about a silly
kickoff chant. Its about a free and
credible press.
As a newspaper, we are sup-
posed to seek truth. Not once did
I see an article that had data to
show that this chant was found to
be unacceptable by the majority
of the student body. Not once did
I see an article that even touched
on this idea of collecting infor-
mation.
We did what the University
wanted us to do, which was to
preach its moral guidelines.
This has no place in a news
section. This is what opinion
pages, pages like this, are for.
If the University felt this way,
it couldve had a representative
write us a letter, and we couldve
run it on this page.
Then a discussion couldve
commenced. And we couldve
seen what the student body really
wanted.
Theres been debate as to what
our university stands for, whether
this chant is trashy and what our
morals are.
But my question is, who defines
what this university is all about?
Evidently University Relations,
and you know who isn't going to
be doing a damn thing about it
The Kansan.
Stewart is a Wichita senior
in journalism.
One of the strangest moments
of the Mark Mangino era came
on a Tuesday in September two
years ago.
A little perspective first.
Mangino is anything but a poet
and definitely not a Poet Laureate.
He answers most questions with
short statements, doesnt deal
with hypotheticals and times his
weekly press conferences so he
arrives at noon sharp and escapes
exactly 20 minutes later.
But on that Tuesday, he
turned into a regular Alfred Lord
Tennyson. Mangino talked about
KU fans, souls who had toiled and
wrought through the worst, and
how they filled the stadium, when
four years earlier so few of them
came that assistant coaches joked
that they couldnt tell if a game
was going on. He talked about the
team bus rides to the stadium and
how it now took a long time to
make the half-mile drive from the
practice facility because the town
bloomed with life on game day.
For Mangino, it was beautiful,
like he was announcing the arrival
of Kansas football. He mightve
been a year ahead of schedule, but
he was right.
Kansas is building a legitimate
football tradition, one with fans
who tailgate for hours before-
hand and then show up on time
to games. One with players who
might not have the same talent as
the boys from Texas or Oklahoma
but fight harder to gain an edge.
Unfortunately, as the fans piled
into the stadium to watch good
football, a certain obnoxious kick-
off chant caught on and became
part of that tradition.
Its a shame. Real football
schools dont resort to shouting
lines from The Waterboy at
every kickoff.
If fans want to be taken serious-
ly, they need to stop worshipping
Rob Schneider. Good football
schools dont need gimmicks.
Of course, Kansas hasnt always
been good.
In 2001, the Terry Allen era
was at its worst. Kansas gave up
244 points in five losses to K-State,
produced one more NFL player
than you or I did and let ren-
egade players like Mario Kinsey
run wild.
To top it off, Al Bohl, the man
who would later sell Jayhawk mer-
chandise at a personal garage sale
and claim Roy Williams held him
like a dove in his hand before
crushing him, was overseeing the
mess as the athletic director.
I wouldve wanted to rip some-
ones head off, too. So students
did. Sort of.
The trashiest chant in the his-
tory of this school started with a
murmur that year. From the band.
At least, thats the legend accord-
ing to students at the time.
Kellis Robinett, a KU graduate
and former Kansan sports editor,
was a freshman during the 2001
season. One game, hes not sure
which one it was, he heard an
almost whisper-like sound com-
ing from the band. He asked other
fans about it and found out what
they were saying.
Soon, the chant caught on
among the hard-core fans in the
student section, and a few started
shouting it late in games. By then,
Kansas was usually down 63-0, and
you had few options. You could go
home. You could stay bored. Or
you could say the chant.
It was about entertainment, for-
getting the inferior product on the
field and about sticking it to Allen,
Kinsey and the dove. Students
needed it. Now they dont.
KU football matters. There
are no more blowouts. The team
has lost at Memorial Stadium just
twice since 2005.
If the Jayhawks come close to
the Big 12 North title the next
couple of years, Kansas can stake
a claim to be part of at least the
B-list of college football powers.
And college football powers dont
associate with F-list actors.
Notre Dame fans scream Go
Irish. Alabama has Roll Tide
Roll. Michigan yells Lets Go
Blue. The Rob Schneider special
wouldnt fit.
So why should it fit here?
Dent is a Overland Park
senior in journalism. He is a
Kansan managing editor.
Since The University Daily
Kansan began its campaign against
the kickoff chant two weeks ago,
Ive seen passion bordering on
nastiness from both supporters
and defenders of the Waterboy-
inspired yell. Some on the front
lines of this fight, such as one
Free for All commenter Tuesday,
have grown so bitter that theyve
thrown out the lowest of insults
for a KU student or football fan:
Youre acting like a Missouri fan.
Its funny, the commenter
said. And then came that mother
of all put-downs: Go back to
Missouri if you dont like it.
Ouch. This chant defender
rocked my world, and it wasnt just
because he or she used the word
funny in connection with the
chant inspired by Rob Schneider,
the comic genius behind such
laugh riots as The Animal and
The Hot Chick.
No, more unsettling than that
is the suggestion that those who
oppose the chant are acting like
our rivals to the east.
Im sorry to break it to the
commenter, but if anyone here is
acting like theyre wearing black
and gold instead of crimson and
blue, its not the chants foes.
For some historical perspec-
tive on this issue, I consulted Erik
Ashel of the Kansas City cable
station Metro Sports. Ashel has
produced a documentary called
Border War about the Kansas-
Missouri rivalry, which premieres
next month.
Ashel traced the rivalry back
to its Civil War roots, when free-
state Kansas clashed with slave-
state Missouri. Kansas, of course,
picked the right side of that fight.
Since then, that fight has colored
how Kansans, as well as KU stu-
dents and fans, have seen them-
selves and Missourians.
When Ashel, a KU alumnus,
came to Lawrence to interview
history experts and others, he
heard stories of Jayhawkers, the
anti-slavery militants who clashed
with pro-slavery Missourians and
burned down the town of Osceola,
Mo., in the name of freedom. The
Jayhawkers gave KU its mascot,
and their anti-slavery furor helped
give Kansans a passion for taking
the moral high ground.
Ashel went to Osceola, where
Jayhawk might as well be a
swear word. He learned about
how Missouris backlash against
the Jayhawkers, including William
Quantrills massacre of Lawrence,
helped give Missourians a passion
for self-determination, the right
to decide for themselves what to
do.
Kansans, and KU supporters,
have always tended to see them-
selves as moral and just, Ashel
said. Missourians, and MU sup-
porters, resent them for what
theyd call an elitist attitude.
Thats what makes Missourians
the maddest, Ashel said.
And those Missourians could
hardly find better evidence of
hypocrisy than a defiantly obscene
student section.
Missourians probably look at
that and the publicity that its got-
ten, Ashel said, and they prob-
ably look at it as, See, Kansans
arent as holier-than-thou and
respectful as they think they are.
Kansans have always said, Take
the high road, and Missouris ral-
lying cry is more along the lines of
Dont tell me what to do.
When Im in the student sec-
tion at Memorial Stadium and
students let the F-bombs fly in
unison, I hear them screaming
one of those two mottoes loud
and clear. If it werent for the blue
shirts and the Jayhawk at mid-
field, I might well forget which
state this is and which university I
attend.

Other places on campus
that are vulgar as well
I don't know whether to
defend or condemn the chant.
I know the chant is no more of-
fensive than many of the numer-
ous comments that come from
elsewhere on campus.
People like Brother Jed and
his followers shout profane
terms, such as whore, slut or the
damned at everyone, and yet
we tolerate it, and even enjoy it
(otherwise no one would listen).
Shock politics of 15-foot
displays showing aborted fetuses
in front of Strong Hall are clearly
controversial, even emotionally
trying to some, yet we tolerate it.
I applaud them even though
I do not agree with them. I do
not approve of the chants vulgar
word choice and violence. But I
do applaud the unity with which
the student section presents it.
This is football. Football is violent.
Football is vulgar.
ESPN highlights of bones
broken by helmets, and ankles,
elbows and knees contorted in
unnatural ways are more uncom-
fortable than this chant.
Sports arent always family-
friendly environments. To expect
anything diferent beyond the
level of peewee football is foolish.
With the constant bombard-
ment of music, pop culture and
the Internet, parents have more
important issues to be fearful of.

But some of the players
said they liked the chant
Many students who take the
time, money and emotional
involvement to attend the games
love the chant.
Swearing, like drinking, is part
of football. For less vulgar chants,
watch other sports.
According to an article in The
University Daily Kansan from
Sept. 9, coach Mark Mangino
cant even hear it. The article also
identifed some players who like
the chant.
This is the best chant, and its
certainly better than anything
proposed. The chant is the only
football-only chant we have.
Its just plain fun to scream
at the top of your lungs Rip
his fucking head of!To do it in
public with other people while
cheering on your favorite team is
a unique experience.
The student section wants this
chant after they work so much
in and out of the classroom, take
time to support the football team
and pay a lot for it.

Football games arent the
place to cuss like a sailor
As a KU grad, I am very sensi-
tive to looking, acting, sounding
or even smelling like Mizzou. KU
is known for its great teams, great
athletes and, yes, classy fans.
Certainly, someone can come
up with a better chant that our
future Jayhawks may hear with-
out earmufs.
If not, can I suggest an alterna-
tive word like freaking? A minor
change would make a big difer-
ence in the eyes of the media, our
alumni and all those haters out
there who look for a reason to
dislike us.
There is a time and a place
to cuss like a sailor. A sports
game that is being broadcast on
national television and where
children are in attendance does
not seem like one of them. If you
continue to disrespect our coach
and pleas from the community,
you risk going from Water Boy
to Dumb and Dumber.
So, please, give us a fucking
break and stop the chant.

Why Kansas should keep
the current kickof chant
This letter to the editor will
probably not make The Uni-
versity Daily Kansan because
its content is contrary to the
opinions of the editors at The
Kansan. Nevertheless, it is my
belief that The Kansan and
the student government are
in cahoots with the Athletics
Department to further regulate
our traditions as fans.
I, like most students, enjoy
our vulgar kickof chant. I am
not going to defend our chant
as creative or intelligent, but it
is a tradition.
Our kickof chant evolved
naturally. You cannot simply
create new traditions and ex-
pect them to remain. As Kansas
fans, we are better than that.
Look at K-State and its pathetic
new traditions like the really
intimidating power towels. Fur-
thermore, one obscenity does
not make us white trash like
Missouri I really fail to see
any proof in that argument.
Students go to football
games to relax and have fun
for a few hours after an intense
week of class and work. We
do not want to be creative or
cute at football games. Were
there to see Kansas dominate.
The whole idea of creating
new traditions is stupid and
unnatural.

Remind me: Which state are we in again?

Associated press
NEW YORK Wall Street
tumbled again Wednesday as
investors worried that the global
economy is poised to weaken even
as parts of the credit market slowly
show signs of recovery. The major
indexes fell more than 4 percent,
including the Dow Jones industrial
average, which finished off its lows
with a loss of 515 points.
Corporate profit forecasts, a
jump in the dollar and falling oil
prices signaled investors are fear-
ful that an economic slowdown
will sweep the globe even if lend-
ing begins to approach more nor-
mal levels.
The dollar hit multiyear highs
against several other major cur-
rencies, weighing on commodity
prices. That hurt raw materials and
energy companies, while giving
a boost to airlines. Technology
shares fared better than the broader
market following quarterly reports
from Apple Inc. and Yahoo Inc.
While reduced strains in global
credit markets have eased some
investors nervousness about the
economy, market anxiety remains
as hundreds of companies this
week report third-quarter results
and issue somewhat murky fore-
casts that are stirring unease about
the economic bumps that may lay
ahead.
Wachovia Corp., which is being
bought by Wells Fargo & Co.,
reported that it swung to a huge
loss in the third quarter while the
drugmaker Merck & Co. said its
quarterly profit fell 28 percent and
that it would cut more than 10
percent of its work force.
John Thornton, co-portfolio
manager at Stephens Investment
Management Group LLC in
Houston, said investors fear has
shifted from the immediate con-
cerns about tightness in credit and
the resulting difficulty in borrow-
ing to the broader economy as
companies come out with their
quarterly numbers.
Even if it werent for the credit
crisis wed probably be looking
toward a pretty tough recession
anyway, he said. The third-quar-
ter earnings are kind of uninspir-
ing but third quarter hasnt been
the real concern of people.

e is built like a running back
6 feet, 220 pounds and
runs a 4.5 40-yard dash that
pales in comparison to the in-game
speed he has demonstrated on Friday
nights the last four falls.
As often as he is likely to toss an
83-yard touchdown, North Kansas City
Highs David Parker is equally likely to
shift, dodge and dash his way to paydirt
leaving the field behind him.
He could be Kansas quarterback of
the future. He damn well should be.
Rated the sixth-best high school
football player in the Kansas City area
by Jeremy Crabtree of Rivals.com,
Parker is that versatile, dynamic signal
caller tailor-made for college football.
However, just one college campus will
have this weapon of mass production
next fall.
Army, Air Force, Navy and
Wyoming have bitten thus far, but
Kansas, Missouri, Kansas State and
Texas Christian remain on Parkers
radar.
With Todd Reesings farewell tour
kicking off September 2009, there is no
better time for Kansas next great quar-
terback to learn from its current legend.
Did I mention there is essentially zero
risk with this kid?
None. No risk. How often does the
opportunity arise to land a player as
athletically gifted as Parker is and who
has sterling character to boot? No need
to work on his leadership skills. Parker
needs no conduct symposium. He
doesnt need schooling on how to not
spit liquor in a womans face at a night-
club or avoid sketchy situations.
See, when Parker isnt scoring
six touchdowns in a single game, he
is involved with the Fellowship of

Believe it not, KU running back Jocques
Crawford was almost a Texas Tech Red
Raider twice.
Crawford signed
a letter of intent with
Tech coming out of
high school but decid-

lege instead. Then, he
committed to Tech
again before changing
his mind and signing
with Kansas this spring.
This weekend the two teams will meet in an
11 a.m. matchup at Memorial Stadium to
celebrate Homecoming.
Crawford soured on Tech for several
reasons. They wanted him to play safety,
but he wanted to play running back. Also,
his brother Aaron is a sophomore running
back for the Red Raiders and Crawford
didnt want to have to compete with him
for playing time.
I only had two years
left and they barely
run the ball anyway,
Crawford said. I just

Tyshawn Taylors performance on
July 17 at Penn Valley
Community College
hasnt become quite
as legendary as Mario
Chalmers miracle
shot in the National
Championship game
last April.
But people are asking
a similar question about
the freshman guards
47-point, 17-rebound and six assist per-
formance in the Kansas City Pro-Amateur
League game were you there that night?
No, actually I wasnt, freshman for-
ward Quintrell Thomas said. But he made
sure I heard about it.
None of the Jayhawks were in Kansas
City that night to witness Taylors exhibi-
tion, where he led his team, the Hawks, to a
lopsided victory against the Cavaliers.
Not even sophomores Tyrel Reed and
Cole Aldrich or junior Mario Little, who
all were his teammates in the league. They
missed the game that night. Thats how
Taylor said his outrageous performance
began.
It was just me, Taylor said. And I was
like, man, Im going to just play.
Well, not just him. Taylors teammates
that night included a few junior college
players and former Kansas guard Nick
Bradford. Taylor made it clear early in
the game, however, that he would be in
control.
Taylors eyes widen and he smiles when
the game is brought up more than four
months later. Thomas said Taylor, his
roommate, has stopped reminding him
about the 47 points he scored. That doesnt
mean Taylor has forgotten about it.
The team we played against, they
werent that good, Taylor said. But I mean,
I still scored 47 points.
Taylor said 47 points set the league
record for this year. Thats impressive con-
sidering the caliber of players who partici-
pated throughout the summer including
NBA players such as Chauncey Billups of
the Detroit Pistons and Ronnie Brewer of
the Utah Jazz.
Taylors finest hour impressed Thomas,
who also played in the league, for a dif-
ferent reason. Thomas said the nature of
the league made it even more difficult to
accomplish the feat.

From the football coach who brought
you tips for a first date and performed
the worst weather report ever seen
comes a story you wouldnt believe.
Until you heard it was Mike Leach.
During Texas Techs Sept. 20 game
against UMass, Matt Williams, a Texas
Tech student, drilled a 30-yard field
goal to win one months free rent. On
the way back to his seat, an assistant told
Williams that coach Leach would like to
meet with him the following Tuesday.
One month later, Williams will
suit up and start in Saturdays game at
Memorial Stadium. No way? Way.
So you got free rent, and maybe
at the end of the year he might even
have a scholarship, Kansas coach Mark
Mangino joked. Thats a great story. I
think thats awesome.
Williams hasnt suited up yet because
hes a transfer student from Tarleton
State, where he kicked for the Texans.
Special teams coordinator Clay McGuire
initially didnt think Williams would
qualify because of transfer rules, but
earlier this week he was cleared.
That is the way I understand it,
yeah, McGuire told RedRaiderSports.

shot. Only Mike Leach could bring a guy
out of the stands and make it work.

to start at place-kicker. In 2006, Steve

They both come out of Dallas, they play
the same position and their stats gravitate
closer each week.
These days, sophomore wide receivers
Dezmon Briscoe and Michael Crabtree are
looking more like equals than an upstart
and the king of his position.
Crabtree still edges Briscoe in every
catching category except yards per recep-
tion (Crabtree: 14.2, Briscoe 16.4) but the
margins have grown smaller. A big reason
for that is Briscoes 269-yard, two-touch-
down performance in last weeks 45-31
loss.
It would have meant a whole lot more if
we would have won, Briscoe said.
Crabtree re-wrote the NCAA record
books last year with 134 catches for 1,962
and 22 touchdowns, all freshman records.
Kansas didnt play against the freshman
phenom last year, but Briscoe said he was
always aware of Crabtrees production.
I paid attention to him a lot, Briscoe
said. As a receiver, you always give props
to other receivers who are in your confer-
ence that do well. He did phenomenal last
year.
Two Kansas players,
freshmen Jeremiah
Hatch and Lubbock
Smith, went to the
same high school as
Crabtree, Dallas Carter.
Briscoe said those
two filled him in on
Crabtrees high school
exploits.
Coach Mark
Mangino could have done the same,
as Kansas made a scholarship offer to
Crabtree.
I watched him play one time in practice
during spring, and as soon as I saw him I
said we have to offer him, Mangino said.
He made some moves that you dont see
everywhere.
All in all, Manginos Dallas receiver
has turned out pretty well, too. Starting
as a true freshman last season, Briscoe
caught 43 passes for
496 yards and seven
touchdowns.
In addition to last
weeks performance,
Briscoe has two games
with more than 120
yards receiving and
another with three
touchdowns.
However, he has also
had a few less-than-
stellar outings. In games against South
Florida and Iowa State, he combined for 5
catches, 58 yards and no touchdowns.
Dezmon has shown some signs of
being a really good player, Mangino said.
But Dezmon has to develop consistency
and play at that high level every week.
Crabtree plays at a high level every week.
He understands it, and I think Dezmon is
starting to understand that.
Briscoe said that there were similarities
between the two but he didnt compare
himself to Crabtree now.
Hes already proven himself and Im
still trying to get to his level, Briscoe said.
I cant really put myself at his caliber right
now.
Briscoe said he would be ready to put
himself with Crabtree if he out-duelled
his counterpart in Saturdays homecom-
ing game. The receiving gauntlet has been
thrown down and the underdog seems
ready for the fight.
I like accepting challenges, Briscoe
said. For me to try to match his game, it
should be fun.

S
o did you hear? Damon
Huard is cashed. The Kansas
City Chiefs veteran quarter-
back suffered a right thumb injury
during the Chiefs 34-10 loss to the
Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Now
hes reportedly done for the year.
So weve got Huard and Brodie
Croyle on the Chiefs quarterback
scrap heap. Of course, this ended
up being a blessing in disguise.
Why, you ask? Its simple. Because
of their sketchy quarterback situ-
ation, the Chiefs have signed for-
mer Jacksonville Jaguar quarter-
back Quinn Gray. And why is this
awesome? Because it reminded me
of the best No. 1 song of 1968.

Welcome to Kansas City, Quinn.
Heres to you becoming the best
Kansas City athlete named Quinn,
since Mark Quinn hit 20 home
runs for the Royals in 2000.
Dr. Quinn,
KC QuArterBACK
I have to be honest. Theres
another reason I love Quinn Gray.
And that reason would be Gus
Johnson. Not familiar with Gus
Johnson? Hes an announcer for
CBS sports who broadcasts NFL
games and the NCAA tournament.
Remember the guy who made
the classic call at the end of the
Xavier-Ohio State game during the
2007 NCAA tourament? Yep, that
was Johnson screaming, This is
MARCH MADNESS!
So how do Gray and Johnson
fit together? Well, heres my Quinn
Gray story. So its New Years Eve
2006. Kansas City was playing
Jacksonville at Arrowhead Stadium
with a playoff bid on the line. And
here comes our protagonist, Mr.
Gray. Hes coming off the bench
in a valiant attempt to lead the
Jaguars to victory.
Johnson was on the call that day,
working for CBS. And Ill always
remember this. Gus Johnson loved
Quinn Gray. It started slow. A com-
pliment here, then another one.
Then Johnson got louder and loud-
er ... and louder. Johnson could
not stop talking about Gray. Dude
just loved Gray. I dont know why
I remember that, but apparently a
lot of people remember that. Were
in the midst of Quinn Gray-mania
here in Kansas City, and some-
where, Gus Johnson is smiling.

Theres no way around it. Being
a senior makes you a little sen-
timental. And on Wednesday, it
made think of Michael J. Fox. Ive
always loved Fox. Loved Family
Ties, loved Spin City, and I defi-
nitely loved Teenwolf. Anyways,
back to being sentimental.
Being a senior, you realize pretty
quickly that the real world is loom-
ing. The days of going out to the
bar on a whim on a Tuesday or
Wednesday? Those days are drying
up. Football game days? We only
have three left.
And so I was surfing around
YouTube on Wednesday, looking
for a suitable video to share with
the world.
And you never know when these
moments of college nostalgia are
going to hit. But I started to think
about the first time I heard about
YouTube. I was a young fresh-
man, sitting in Budig 110. And my
professor said, So have you guys
heard about this new site called
YouTube?
There were a few nods, and some
grumbling, and then our Professor
showed us the first YouTube video
I ever had the pleasure of seeing.
Brokeback to the Future.
Remember the mash-up of
Brokeback Mountain and Back
to the Future? Its still going strong
on YouTube. The video he showed
us that day has now been viewed
more than 5 million times.
Im not sure why I get so much
joy out of watching Michael J. Fox
and Christopher Lloyd with the
Brokeback Mountain soundtrack
playing in the background. I think,
maybe, its because it just makes me
think of college.

Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Cole
Hamels, Chase Utley and the rest
of the Philadelphia Phillies shook
off a weeks worth of waiting and
turned it into a World Series win.
Hamels escaped trouble to win
his fourth postseason start, Utley
hit a two-run homer in the first
inning and the Phillies beat the
Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 in the opener
Wednesday night.
The worst-to-first Rays flopped
in their first game in baseballs
ultimate event, managing just five
hits.
The Phillies showed little evidence
of rust. Theyll try to make it two in
a row at Tropicana Field when Brett
Myers pitches against James Shields
in Game 2 Thursday night.
The team that won the open-
er has captured the Series 63 of
103 times, including 10 of the last
11. But the team with home-field
advantage has taken 18 of the last
22 titles.
Its huge, Phillies closer Brad
Lidge said. You try and downplay
it, but obviously youre coming into
a place like this, you want to make
sure you get the first game, espe-
cially because you got your ace on
the mound. Its really important to
do that.
Hamels, MVP of the NL cham-
pionship series, improved to 4-0
with a 1.55 ERA this postseason.
He had only a pair of 1-2-3 innings,
but the composed 24-year-old left-
hander allowed two runs and five
hits in seven innings.
Ryan Madson pitched a per-
fect eighth. Lidge worked the ninth
for his 47th save in 47 chances
this year, silencing the Rays and
their cowbell-clanging fans. Carl
Crawford homered for Tampa Bay,
but playoff stars B.J. Upton and
Evan Longoria went a combined
0-for-8. The Rays didnt get a hit
over the final four innings.
Scott Kazmir, selected two picks
ahead of Hamels in the first round
of the 2002 amateur draft, strug-
gled with his control and gave up
three runs, six hits and four walks
in six innings.
The Phillies could have romped
but went 0-for-13 with runners
in scoring position. Their other
run even scored on an out, an RBI
grounder by Carlos Ruiz.
Philadelphia, seeking the citys
first major title since the NBAs
76ers in 1983, had six days off after
beating the Los Angeles Dodgers
for the NL pennant, while the Rays
didnt finish off the Boston Red Sox
until Game 7 on Sunday night.
The Phillies also won the opener
in 1980 against Kansas City, start-
ing them to their only title since
starting play in 1883. Philadelphia
also started the Series with wins in
1915 and 1983, but dropped the
first game in 1950 and 1993.
After 10 seasons as a doormat,
the Rays became the surprise of
baseball, toppling the defending
champion Red Sox and the Yankees
to win the AL East, then beat-
ing the White Sox and Boston in
the playoffs. The crowd of 40,783
at the Trop wasnt given much
to cheer about, though, with
Crawford homering in the fourth
and Akinori Iwamura hitting an
RBI double in the fifth.
Cowbells were sounding and
fans were petting the cownose
Rays in a tank in right-center dur-
ing Tropicana Fields first World
Series game.

While Kansas was wondering
how to combat Baylors intimidat-
ing defense
during this
past week, the
Bears offense
decided it
would chal-
lenge the
J a y h a w k s
as well on
We dne s day
night.
Baylor swept
Kansas 3-0 (25-17, 25-18, 27-25)
at the Ferrell Center in Waco,
Texas in a dominant offensive
showing. The Bears hit for an
eye-popping .427 percent in the
three sets.
We just could not stop them,
coach Ray Bechard said. It gives
you no chance to make things hap-
pen when they are hitting that high
of an efficiency.
Looking at the numbers does
not make it any better. Baylor accu-
mulated 59 total kills, which was 23
more than Kansas.
The Bears also finished with
four players having double digits
in kills. Sophomore outside hitter
Ashlie Christenson led the way
with a match high of 14 kills.
The lowest individual hit-
ting percentage for a player that
recorded at least one kill for Baylor
was .308, by freshman middle
blocker Briana Tolbert. That would
have ranked fourth best for the
Jayhawks.
Our defense behind the block
was just out of whack, senior mid-
dle blocker Natalie Uhart said. We
werent coordinated together.
The Jayhawks did hit for a
respectable .245 percent and had
11 errors compared with the Bears
12.
Usually a .200 hitting percentage
or higher will keep a game com-
petitive for Kansas, but Wednesday
night was not the case.
Thats above our goal, Bechard
said of the .245 percent. Thats
good enough
to win match-
es on the
road, but you
cannot allow
a team to hit
with the effi-
ciency that
they did.
K a n s a s
finished with
only 35 digs,
compared with Baylors 48.
After Kansas used 75 digs in
four sets to beat Oklahoma on
Saturday, the 35 digs was a big
drop off.
That was a surprise, Bechard
said of the defense. But this Baylor
team, I think they are a top 25
team.
Baylor kept the pressure on all
night. Kansas only held three leads
for the entire match, each of them
early one-point leads.
Except for the third set
which saw the Jayhawks try to
win their way
back before
losing 27-25
it was a seesaw
match to see
who could keep
scoring points.
Eve nt ua l l y
Kansas could
not keep up,
and Baylor ran
away in sets one
and two.
I thought we battled pretty
hard throughout set three.
Bechard said. But once again on
the road, we got to find a different
level of defensive mindset to be
successful.
Even with Baylor playing at the
top of its game offensively, Uhart
said she knew things could have
been done differently to stop the
Bears aggressive attack.
Im not going to take away
from what they did tonight because
they hit their shots, Uhart said. It
was our side that was the problem
tonight.
K a n s a s
falls to 3-7 in
c onf e r e nc e
while Baylor
increases its
lead of fourth
place with its
6-4 confer-
ence record.
The Jayhawks
are on the verge
of running out of time this sea-
son.
With no Big 12 Tournament
for volleyball, these are the only
matches that Kansas has to prove
itself worthy of a postseason bid.
We cant drop anymore, Uhart
said. We are running out of games
that we have to win, so thats what
we think about every day.
NOTES:
While the offense was diverse
as everyone contributed a solid
hitting percentage, the number of
actual attempts could have been
better for Kansas. Freshman setter
Nicole Tate had more kill attempts
(15) than blockers Savannah Noyes
and Brittany Williams.
Shes (Tate) scrambling at the
net trying to make something hap-
pen. Bechard said. Thats just an
idea of not getting your setter as
many options as youd like to get
her.
For a team that has been strug-
gling with errors, the Jayhawks only
had 11 errors, which is their lowest
number in conference play.
Eleven in three sets is not a
lot of errors at all, Bechard said.
Anytime you error less than 15
percent thats excellent.

After a victory over 20th-
ranked Arizona
State, the Kansas
swimming and
diving team
will have its
hands full with a
matchup against
the back-to-back
Big 12 wom-
ens champions
Texas A&M. In
the first Top 25
poll released last
week, the College Swim Coaches
Association of America slotted
Texas A&M at No. 9.
The Aggies return four swim-
mers who participated in the 2008
Olympics in Beijing. Triin Aljand
(Estonia), Alia Atkinson (Jamaica)
and Julia Wilkinson (Canada) all
came out with national records in
Beijing, while Christine Marshall
(USA) was a bronze medalist in
the 800-meter freestyle relay.
The nice thing about the Big
12 is that youre able to compete
with the
best in the
world with
w h a t e v e r
sport, swim-
ming head
coach Clark
C a mp b e l l
said. I know
our team is
really excited
s wi mmi ng
that level of
competition.
Campbell expects the team to
be at a higher level than where
the team was last week at Arizona
State and said the focus of this
weekend will be on the dual
meet.
The KU women carry momen-
tum from their last meet against
Arizona State into the dual meet
against Texas A&M at 6 tonight at
Robinson Natatorium. With solid
performances this weekend, the
Jayhawks could be in contention
for cracking the Top 25.
Whenever you beat a top-20
opponent on the road in their
facility, that plays a bigger role in
the minds of the voters, Campbell
said. We have to compete well in
both the dual meet and the relays
as well and hopefully if things
work out, well be in the Top 25.
Fans will also see the Texas
A&M and Missouri men duel at 6
tonight at Robinson Natatorium,
and Missouri women will get a
chance to meet Texas A&M with
three heats in each event, although
Missouri wont be scored against
the Jayhawks.
Following tonights dual meet,
the Jayhawks will host the Big 12
Relays Friday starting at 9 a.m.

SHANGHAI, China Lewis
Hamilton is hoping his second
shot at becoming Formula Ones
youngest champion turns out bet-
ter than the first.
For the sec-
ond straight year
the McLaren
driver takes a
seven-point lead
into the final race
of the year. After
losing the 2007
title to Ferraris
Kimi Raikkonen
because of a
botched pass and
gearbox prob-
lems in the sea-
son-ending Brazilian Grand Prix,
the Briton knows that while his
lead may be comfortable it isnt
safe.
You can still take absolutely
nothing for granted, he said ahead
of Formula Ones title showdown
on Nov. 2. I
still need to
pull together
a strong quali-
fying lap, be
c ompe t i t i ve
during the
race and avoid
failing to fin-
ish.
Ha mi l t on
took an easy
victory in last
weeks Chinese
Grand Prix, where he achieved the
combination of win, pole position
and fastest lap for only the second
time in his career.
Ferraris Felipe Massa is second
in the standings and would need
to win and have Hamilton finish
no higher than seventh, or finish
second while the Briton finishes
out of the points to keep the driv-
ers title from going to McLaren
for the first time since 1999.
Hamilton, at 23, would be F1s
younge s t
champion,
e c l i ps i ng
the mark
set by
Re naul t s
Fer nando
A l o n s o ,
who was
24 years
and 59
days when
he won in
2004.
Hamilton has played down the
comparison with 2007 and is try-
ing to convince others, and per-
haps himself, that the pressure is
all on Massa, racing in front of his
home fans.
I know that Felipe is very
proud to be
B r a z i l i a n ,
and that hell
be pumped
up to per-
form in front
of his home
crowd and
that gives you
extra confi-
dence and a
mental boost
for the whole
we e k e n d ,
Hamilton said on his Web site.
But it does bring extra pres-
sure too. You know you are there
to entertain the people and you
dont want to disappoint them
by sending them home empty-
handed.
Massa, upon his return to
Brazil from China, where he fin-
ished a distant second, disputed
Hamiltons view.
Ive always liked racing at
home, Massa said. You can
absorb everything positive from
the fans and that helps you do
your best.
The pressure from the fans
only helps. Its always better to
have it.
Tires will also likely be a factor
in Brazil.
While Ferrari showed greater
race pace in Singapore and Japan,
McLaren was clearly superior in
China.
The race in Shanghai used the
hardest of Bridgestones tire com-
pounds. That mitigated McLarens
habit of using up its tires more
quickly than Ferrari. The Italian
team which takes longer to get
heat into its rubber than McLaren
and loses that heat more quickly
struggled for grip in the long,
slow Shanghai bends.
But Ferrari is likely to have
the advantage in Brazil, where
Bridgestone is likely to go back to
softer tires.
McLaren also must be conser-
vative with Hamiltons equipment.
He goes into the race with the
same engine he used in China,
while both Ferraris will have new
power.
The British driver will also be
using the same gearbox for the
third straight race. McLaren has
not shown any vulnerability with
gearbox reliability this season, but
the memory of last years failure
will be prominent in the teams
thinking.
No. 9 Texas A&M to bring
four Olympic swimmers
Hamilton takes second shot at title
I still need to pull together
a strong qualifying lap, be
competitive during the race and
avoid failing to fnish.

over a multicultural peace group
called Reach Out.
My extracurricular activities
make me who I am, Parker said.
I want to help out and use my
influence to make a difference at
school and use my faith, beliefs
and honor to set an example and
help with the community.
Parkers decision to get
involved with those activities has
translated to even stronger lead-
ership skills on the football field
where he has been able to hone
those skills since his first varsity
start as a freshman.
So what would Parker look
like in Crimson and Blue?
I love the teamwork there and
the coaches love for the players,
Parker said. They are a team in
everything that they do. It is a
great school.
Youve got to believe that the
Jayhawks spread offense would
have Parker licking his chops.
However, Reesing will be closing
the books on a stellar career dur-
ing Parkers presumed freshman
year. Wouldnt someone as moti-
vated as Parker expect to start
right away?
Itd be an honor to play
behind (Reesing) and would be a
great situation that would make
me better, Parker said. Youve
got to follow before you lead.
Okay, well what about Kale
Pick, who will have had the
opportunity to get familiar with
the offense for five semesters
before the start of the 2010
season? Or incoming freshman
Jordan Webb who has verbally
committed to Kansas?
Thats all right, Parker says, hed
love to contribute at wide receiver
and tailback while he waits for the
chance to line up under center.
Furthermore, if and when Parker
starts as quarterback, the oppor-
tunities for options or other trick
plays are endless.
Parker said he was not yet
close to settling on a school but
hoped to make his decision by
February. It is a big decision for
Parker. One that he says is based
on faith, the best fit for his talents
and the best academic situation.
Mark Mangino and Co.: It is
not too late. What you have here
is a no-risk investment, with ben-
efits that will spill over into all
sectors on campus.
Simply put, David Parker
embodies all that weve come to
expect out of Jayhawk athletes.
Dont squander an opportunity
to add him to the list of model
student athletes who have made
their mark here both on and
off the field.
Dont make me tell you I
told you so if and when Parker
runs and passes all over you in
2009-2012 either as a rival, in
a non-conference game or in a
crushing bowl loss. I wont mince
words.
Furthermore, please dont
make me tell you I told you
so when Parker comes to town
to deliver a leadership seminar,
initiates steps towards multicul-
tural peace and diversity or does
something further to make a true
difference to people of all walks
of life regardless of if they tail-
gate or not.

wanted to be in.
If Crawford had gone to Tech as
a safety, then there could have been
a Crawford brother on offense and
defense.
I thought
about it a lot,
Crawford said.
At one point in
time, I was like
it might be kind
of nice to have
a Crawford
on this side of
the ball and a
Crawford on
that side of the
ball. I did keep that in mind a lot,
but when it came time for me to
sign, defense just wasnt what I
wanted to do and I wanted to go
play offense somewhere.
Aaron Crawford is out with a
foot fracture and may take a red-
shirt this season, meaning he wont
be playing in Saturdays matchup.
But the two still talk almost daily
and help each
other when
one needs
advice.
He watched
our game so he
was critiquing
me a little bit
on the kickoff
return and he
thought me
getting hit
was funny,
Crawford said. I didnt think it
was funny, but we just joke around
like that. He loves me and I love
him. We talk a lot.
Crawford came to Kansas as the
National Junior College Player of
the Year and soon after said his
goal was 2,000 yards rushing this
season. He has rushed for only 124
yards and three touchdowns on 41
carries after rushing for more than
1,900 yards last year at Cisco Junior
College.
Crawford took over the kick
returner duties for the Oklahoma
game and returned his first career
kick for 42 yards. Its been a struggle
for Crawford, who has had to adjust
to not being the main running back
for the first time in his career.
I try to be confident in myself
and just wait for my time to come
and be patient, Crawford said.
Jake had a few breakout games the
past two, three games, so he is doing
what he can do. I just hope that one
day, my time comes like that.

47 because at the Pro-Am, it was a
team of five, Thomas said. Its hard
to score 47 points without rest.
The performance was definitely
the biggest highlight since Taylor
moved to Lawrence in June, but it
wasnt the only one. Taylor thrilled
the crowd at an open scrimmage as
part of Bill Self s basketball camp
this summer when he scored 19
points, had four rebounds and
three steals.
He started all three exhibition
games during the teams Labor Day
weekend trip to Ottawa, Canada,
and averaged 14 points the sec-
ond-most of all the Jayhawks.
The exhibition games prove the
6-foot-3 guard from Jersey City,
N.J., has the talent to make an
impact for the Jayhawks immedi-
ately this season. Kansas coach Bill
Self has also praised Taylors skills.
Self said a player like Taylor was a
rarity at Kansas.
Hes one of those few guys who
you can recruit to Kansas that is
better than his hype, Self said.
Rivals.com ranked Taylor as
only the 77th best player in the
nation in the recruiting class of
2008 second-lowest out of the
five incoming freshmen. He might
not have come in with much hype,
but the outlandish 47-point game
in July is helping to change that.
I was just going. It was fun,
Taylor said. Thats the highest Ive
ever scored in a game before.
Edited by Scott R. Toland

Tyshawn Taylor, freshman guard, drives to the basket Friday night at Allen Fieldhouse dur-
ing the annual Late Night scrimmage. Taylor scored 47 points in a summer league game in July
and is looking to contribute immediately to
the Jayhawks this season.
Taylor (continued from 1B)
Aponavicius of Boston College
played his first game of organized
football against Virginia Tech and
hit two field goals. A graduate
assistant spotted Aponavicius
kicking field goals in 2005 and
invited him to join the team.
However, rarely has a student
been pulled from the stands and
added in the same season.
Mike wouldnt do it if he didnt
think the guy could kick the ball,
Mangino said.
Leach was searching the stands
for a kicker because his have
been worse than awful. Senior
Cory Fowler and freshman
Donnie Carona have combined
to hit only 4-of-8 field goals and
missed six extra point attempts.
Mangino said hes been so frus-
trated that he considered grab-
bing someone from the stands, but
never acted on the impulse. Still,
he understands the logic.
Hey, in this profession, you
do what youve got to do to win,
Mangino said. If there are a couple
of guys running around our stadi-
um here that can cover Crabtree, we
would invite them to come down.
You hear that wannabe Jayhawk
athletes? Show the man what
youve got.
Lubbock is becoming the haven
for walk-on athletes. Former bas-
ketball coach Bob Knight opened
his roster for one walk-on in 2006.
The difference was that the Red
Raiders fiery coach used a reality
show on ESPN to find his lucky
man. The spacey football coach
opted for an in-between quarters
giveaway contest.
Thats vintage Mike Leach,
Mangino said.

Chicken Wrap
By BETH HARRIS
Associated Press
ARCADIA, Calif. Curlin
was made the early 7-5 favorite
Tuesday in a field of 12 for the $5
million Breeders Cup Classic.
Curlin would likely earn Horse
of the Year honors for the second
consecutive year if he defends his
title Saturday at Santa Anita in his
first race on a synthetic track.
Without retired Kentucky
Derby and Preakness winner Big
Brown in the
field, Ravens
Pass, winner
of the Queen
Elizabeth II
Stakes in his last
start, was made
the 6-1 second
choice. Like
Curlin, Ravens
Pass will be try-
ing a synthetic
surface for the
first time.
Go Between, the Pacific Classic
winner, was the third choice at
8-1.
Undefeated Casino Drive
of Japan, Todd Pletcher-trained
Fairbanks, and Duke of Marmalade
and Henrythenavigator, both
trained by Irishman Aidan OBrien,
were all 10-1.
Weve always wanted to face
a good field and this is a great
field, said Barbara Banke, wife of
Curlins owner Jess Jackson. Were
looking forward to the challenge.
Last year, Curlin won the Classic
by 4 lengths on a sloppy track at
New Jerseys Monmouth Park. Hes
expected to run in ideal conditions
Saturday, with the forecast calling
for sunshine and temperatures in
the low 80s.
This years Breeders Cup fea-
tures an all-female, five-race card
on Friday, capped by the $2 mil-
lion Ladies Classic, previously
known as the Distaff.
Zenyatta is the star of that show,
with an 8-0 record that made her
the 3-5 early favorite. Her owner
Jerry Moss, who co-founded A&M
Records, named the 4-year-old
filly for the 1980 album Zenyatta
Mondatta by The Police.
If Curlin falters and Zenyatta
stays unbeaten against defending
champion Ginger Punch (9-2) and
last years runner-up Hystericalady
(15-1), she could be the rare filly to
have a shot at Horse of the Year.
Thats something we really
dont want to talk about, trainer
John Shirreffs said.
Midshipman and Street Hero,
winners of the major 2-year-
old races in California, lead the
13-horse field for the $2 million
Juvenile.
Both 2-year-olds are proven
runners on the artificial surface,
with Midshipman winning two of
his three starts on it, and Street
Hero finishing in the money on it
in five starts. His lone victory came
over Midshipman in the Norfolk
Stakes at Santa Anita on Sept. 28.
Trained by Bob Baffert,
Mi dshi pman
drew the No.
11 post for
S a t u r d a y s
Juvenile, one
of 10 races
on that days
Breeders Cup
card.
Street Hero,
a son of Street
Cry who is
bred, owned
and trained by
Myung Cho, will break from the
No. 8 post. Munnings is the races
7-2 favorite.
The 14 races to be run Friday
and Saturday are worth $25.5 mil-
lion.
Midnight Lute returns to defend
his title as the 7-2 second choice in
the $2 million Sprint for Baffert.
Saturdays 6-furlong race will be
just his second start this year and
third since winning the Sprint by
4 lengths last year at Monmouth
Park.
Street Boss is the Sprints 3-1
favorite.
Baffert also considered running
Indian Blessing in the Sprint, but
opted instead to run her in the $1
million Filly & Mare Sprint, where
she drew the No. 5 post.
Kip Deville will defend his title
in the $2 million Mile on the turf
for trainer Rick Dutrow, who also
trains Big Brown. The colt was sud-
denly retired because of an injury,
denying the Breeders Cup its most
intriguing matchup between Big
Brown and Curlin.
Its kind of anticlimactic
because weve been running big
races all year and pointing toward
this, said Michael Ivarone, Big
Browns principal partner who also
co-owns Kip Deville.
Kip Deville is the 5-1 third
choice and drew the No. 2 post;
he started from the seven hole
when he won by one length last
year on Monmouths turf that had
been softened by pouring rain.
Goldikova is the races 3-1 favor-
ite.
Among the other races:
Soldier of Fortune is the 7-2
favorite for the $3 million Turf.
Wait a While comes into the
$2 million Filly & Mare Turf as the
3-1 favorite, having won three of
her last four starts for Pletcher.
Stardom Bound brings a
two-race winning streak into the
$2 million Juvenile Fillies, includ-
ing the Oak Leaf Stakes at Santa
Anita, where she rallied from 11th
to win by 3 lengths.
Undefeated Maram looks to
extend her streak to three in a row
in the $1 million Juvenile Fillies
Turf from the No. 3 post.
Pyro, considered a Triple
Crown contender after winning
the Louisiana Derby, tries to close
out his season with a victory in the
$1 million Dirt Mile.
Paddy The Pro arrives for
the $1 million Juvenile Turf off
two straight victories in Ireland.
He drew the No. 8 post under
Gomez.
Muhannak, winner of his last
two races on synthetic surfaces in
Europe, tries to carry his form to
the United States in the $500,000
Marathon, which offers the small-
est Breeders Cup purse. Hell break
from post 5 at 20-1 odds. Sixties
Icon is the 2-1 favorite.
Salute the Count will make
his 45th career start in the $1
million Turf Sprint for Dutrow.
The 8-year-old will be challenged
by Idiot Proof, runner-up in last
years Sprint who switches to the
grass this year.

Workers prepare at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., Tuesday for this weekends Breeders Cup horse races. Curlin was made the early 7-5 favorite
