Junior dies in highway accident on Saturday

BY JESSE RANGEL
jrangel@kansan.com Kara Louise Morgan, Lawrence junior, died early Saturday morning in a crossover accident on Kansas Highway 10. Morgan died after the vehicle she was driving struck another vehicle in a head-on collision two miles west of DeSoto, according to a crash report released by the Kansas Highway Patrol. The report said Morgan was driving east in the westbound lanes when she struck another vehicle. Morgan and Eric Still of Olathe, the driver of the other car, were taken to the University of Kansas Hospital. Both were later pronounced dead. The report said both drivers were wearing seat belts. Chancellor Bernadette GrayLittle made statements regarding Morgans death in a University press release. It is with a heavy heart that we offer deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Kara Morgan, Gray-Little said. On behalf of the entire University community, I send our thoughts and prayers. Louise Krug, graduate teaching assistant and Morgans English 102 instructor, said Morgan was a delight to have in class. She was a happy, helpful, bright woman who saw the best in people, Krug said in the release. She was excited about her future and was working very hard to achieve her goals. Funeral services are scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at Mercer Funeral Home in Holton. Edited by Jacob Muselmann

Clubs share energy ideas at conservation fair

Groups promote hybrid car, discuss summer in Bolivia
BY BETH BEAVERS
bbeavers@kansan.com Conservation and sustainability arent foreign concepts to Lawrence. But at the citys ninth annual Energy Conservation Fair, the largest one to date, one student group used the opportunity to gain support for putting its car, an oil-guzzling Beetle, where they think it belongs: on the road. The fair, held Saturday at the Community Building, 115 W. 11th St., ran in conjunction with the Sustainable Homes Tour and hosted several other student groups. EcoHawks, a group formed by a class of mechanical engineering seniors, were promoting a 1974 Volkswagen Super Beetle they turned into a hybrid vehicle last year. In addition to gasoline, the car uses reused oil from campus dining for fuel. Now, the group is trying to make the car street legal. Members of EcoHawks were at the fair explaining the car and looking for donors. Major advertising spaces on the car are being sold for $5,000 to $10,000, while other spots will be covered for $10 per square inch. This is big.

CAIRO Egypt defended its use of lethal force against African migrants trying to cross illegally into Israel, saying Monday that it does so only as a last resort and to fight criminal activity in the politically sensitive area. Hundreds of Africans seeking political asylum or jobs in relatively prosperous Israel try to sneak across the border each year. Amnesty International said Egyptian border guards have fatally shot nearly 40 migrants trying to do so since the start of 2008. Egypts Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossam Zaki said the use of force was necessary for Egypts security in a sensitive area where criminal activities including drug and weapons smuggling were common.

Whos at KU Who
Paul Lim
BY SaBrina lieDtKe
sliedtke@kansan.com For some, four years at a university may seem like an eternity. But for Professor Paul Lim, more than 10 times that amount at the University of Kansas has come and gone in the blink of an eye. Lim first came to the University in January of 1969 to complete his Bachelor of Arts in English. He went on to earn his masters at the University and has been teaching full time in the department of English for 20 years. In 1990, Professor Lim got the green light to start a club in which students would have an opportunity to write and perform their own plays. Since its start, the English Alternative Theatre, E.A.T., has performed more than 50 full productions and 100 staged readings. Students have written more than half of these plays. The script for a play is essentially just a skeleton, Lim said. You really need to flesh it out with actors, scene designers, costume designs, so its always quite fascinating to see the student watching their plays being fleshed out on the stage and then ultimately to have the students watching other people watching their plays. Lims inspiration for E.A.T. came from his own background as a playwright. His other creative outlets include watching movies, Lim owns over 7,000 titles, and blogging nearly every day. One of

DAILY KU INFO

Lims blogs is Witty at Any Speed, where he cites one of his favorite bumper stickers as saying: My son can beat up your honor student! Lims main love, however, is the theater. As a student in 1975, he wrote his first play, Conpersonas, which was produced by University Theatre and won the KCACTF National Student Playwriting Award. Lim often finds inspiration for his work from real life. I love listening to peoples stories and I am just fascinated by how other people live and what stories they have to tell, Lim said.

So when I hear these stories I file them away mentally or sometimes jot them down. I hope to one day put all of them down on a Web site. Though he continues to write, Lim takes the most pleasure from watching his students. My most rewarding experience has been to put on the stage the plays that are being written by my students and to watch theses plays take shape and come alive, Lim said. Edited by Abby Olcese

Annual breast cancer fundraiser begins today

health

Salon Hawk and Sun of a Beach Tanning, located in the Kansas Union, are kicking off their third annual breast cancer awareness fundraiser today. Emily Willis, owner of Salon Hawk and Sun of a Beach, began the fundraiser two years ago after a close friend found a lump on her breast. At the time, there was nothing for girls our age, so we began doing the pink hair extensions, Willis said. After that we began to get more involved and now its taken on a life of its own. This year, Willis said the goal was to raise at least $10,000 by the end of October. To reach the goal, they are accepting donations, selling T-shirts for $20 and selling pink hair extensions for $10. All of the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Lawrence Memorial Hospital Breast Center. The salon is also collecting used bras from students and faculty through the duration of the fundraiser. On Oct. 15, the bras will be strung across the Kansas River as a public display of activism. Its a fun cause, Willis said. It really raises awareness and brings the student body together.

Film exposes brutal dolphin hunting

assoCIated PRess
TOKYO A Japanese fishing town that holds a well-known annual hunt to kill and sell dolphins for meat has released 70 of the animals from its first catch of the season following an international outcry, a conservationist group said Tuesday. The outcry has been growing against the hunt in Taiji, western Japan, since an award-winning American documentary The Cove this year showed dolphins being herded into an inlet and killed by fishermen with spears. The Save Japan Dolphins Coalition, led by Ric OBarry, the dolphin trainer for the 1960s Flipper TV series, said Tuesday that group representatives witnessed and filmed 70 bottlenose dolphins the same kind as Flipper being released Sunday. Taiji and its fishing association declined comment. The hunt kills about 2,000 dolphins a year, and residents say it is part of their tradition and a way of getting food. The released dolphins were part of a catch of about 100 on Sept. 9. The Taiji fishing association had said it would sell about half to aquariums and set the rest free. The town has said it is unclear if it will continue to release dolphins. The world is watching, said OBarry, who visited Taiji earlier this month. Stopping the slaughter and sale of dolphins would be a major victory for the people of Japan. He said dolphin meat was contaminated with dangerous levels of mercury. The Japanese government has issued warnings about pregnant women eating dolphin meat, but says it is safe in small quantities. Taiji fishermen on Sept. 9 also caught 50 pilot whales, which were killed and sold as meat.

A fishing boat sails to catch whales off Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture, western Japan. The Japanese town, which is chronicled in the award-winning film The Cove for its dolphin hunt, will free much of the seasons first catch, following an international outcry over the annual slaughter.

Speaker:

David Phillips, director of the Earth Island Institute, a Californiabased environmental group, said a member is in Japan to watch whether Taiji kills any dolphins. We will expand vigilance in Taiji and bring greater world atten-

tion to ensure that the dolphins are released and that the slaughter does not resume, he said. The Cove has won more than a dozen awards, including the audience award at the Sundance Film Festival.

But Stacey Burton, Overland Park graduate student and member of the Commission on the Status of Women, said she did not think the anti-abortion display told the whole story. Its explicitly one-tracked, she said. Its very scary. Scaring people into making decisions doesnt help them make the right decisions. Joe Haschke, senior from the University of Nebraska Lincoln, came with Justice for All to help set up the display. He said he thought the group was concerned for the women who made decisions about abortion. Were 100 percent about womens rights, he said. The debates center around the baby, but people often forget about the women who are injured in abortion. Haschke said he hoped people could discuss their opinions in a civil manner and said nothing was accomplished when people yelled at each other. Mostly what Im asking you to do is think about it, he said. Edited by Nick Gerik

sing a laptop in lecture classes is just one way students at the University are using technology to enhance their learning. Unfortunately, the practice of teachers banning or limiting laptops in lecture halls is becoming more common. This is an unfair rule that harms the many students who learn more efficiently using a laptop to take notes. Im against laptop bans, Joshua Walton, Olathe senior, said.

Other students complain that its distracting to them, Antha Cotten-Sprekelmeyer of the Humanities and Western Civilizations department said, a sentiment repeated by a variety of professors. Students who must entertain themselves during a lecture should take seats in the back rows to avoid bothering students sitting behind them, a compromise more professors should try before out right banning laptops. If this was the policy, it would be harming only the students who choose not to pay attention. Laptops are a useful tool that professors should be willing to work with. They can be used for learning or distraction, but alone are not what causes a problem. Professors should give students the benefit of the doubt when it comes to using laptops in class before instituting bans harmful to the learning of their dedicated students. Clayton Ashley for The Kansan Editorial Board

Keep pieces that are season neutral. Clothes that are darker colors or simpler; muted prints can transition from season to season. If you have dresses or tops that fit the fall color pallet but are more of a bare, warm-weather style, consider using them for your fall wardrobe to layer with leggings, tights, long sleeved shirts or sweaters. Keep in mind that accessories can define an outfits season. A dress with sandals and a straw hat is for the beach, but wearing that same dress with dark tights, riding boots and a blazer creates a gorgeous fall look. Using accessories to make summer clothes wearable in the fall will save you money and allow you to get more use out of your favorite clothes.

Summer styles get cheaper and cheaper as stores start to make room for new fall and winter lines. No matter how good the deal is though, if you can only wear the piece for a few more weeks, your money would most likely be better spent on in season pieces. If you find something that screams, take me to the beach, but you love it anyway, consider buying it and saving it for next summer. Just remember to first ask yourself, will this be in style a year from now? Summer classics are a smart sale purchase, but if the piece has a trendy silhouette, print or color, it probably wont be in next season and

Its convenient to just have some basic, classic pieces, like a blazer or trench coat, in seasonneutral colors in your wardrobe. In tough economic times and with our limited college closet space its important to have some pieces that you know you can always turn to. Things like a nice, dark pair of jeans or a timeless, black cocktail dress will always be in style, no matter the season. A true staple piece can be worn for years, and should be simple enough to be styled in many ways so you can wear it multiple times without anyone knowing. When investing in staple pieces, make sure they are high quality and have good fit. You may have to spend a little extra, but investing in a classic staple piece means youll save money re-wearing them later rather than having to buy new trend pieces every season. Remember, no matter what season it is, its good fashion practice to dress weather appropriate. As the weather gets colder, please, dont be that person wearing flip-flops and shorts when theres snow on the ground. No one looks good with frost bite.

How technology ruined dating

magine youre on a date. The moon is full, the air is crisp and youre standing toe to toe, saying goodnight. On your way home, you keep thinking about the taste of her lips and how excited you are to see her again. Then your phone lights up and reads Thanks for the great night with a tacky smile afterwards. Now, for me, this is one of the biggest turnoffs after any date. When you drop someone off, even if you had a great night, you dropped him or her off. You dont want them clinging to you via text till dawn. You dont want to get sick of the person after only one date, especially if they paid. Before cell phones ran our lives, you could wait days before calling someone. Now though, youre always within reach, even when you dont want to be. And dont think not responding will work. You either need to respond immediately if you ever want to see them again or decide it wasnt worth it and call it quits

The incredible shrinking presidency

W
hen the most powerful man in the world is complaining about what was posted on the ex-governor of Alaskas Facebook page, you know he is in trouble. As I was watching President Obama give his 29th speech on health care last Wednesday, this time in prime time to a joint session of Congress, it dawned on me that I was witnessing a spectacular political failure. Here was the President of the United States, standing in front of a Congress in which he needs no votes from Republicans to pass his legislation, whose poll numbers are dropping faster than any president (save Ford, after pardoning Nixon) in history and who has nothing new to offer in his effort to promote a bill which hasnt even been written. He might still be sending thrills up Chris Mathews leg, but that feeling is long gone in mainstream America. His call for a joint session of Congress in order to promote his political goal was a display of great weakness. How has this dazzling unifier that transcended politics as usual fallen from grace? First, Obamas magical rhetoric has finally met its match substance. It has never been about sub-

stance with Obama, rather illusory and intangible hope and change. The President is so confident in his ability to persuade that he continues to push legislation that is rejected by simple common sense. For example, he claims that this new massive government program will not add to the deficit. Mr. President, Americans are smarter than that. They see Medicare broke, Medicaid broke, Social Security broke, the Post Office broke, Amtrak broke, Cash for Clunkers broke and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae broke. Einstein once said, The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Our government cant even run a railroad! Obama also says his plan will insure millions of uninsured Americans without resulting in long lines or rationed care. How can you treat 50 million more patients with no extra doctors

when there is already a shortage? This question remains unanswered. Second, his reaction to resistance has been remarkably arrogant. The Democratic Party and the mainstream media that were in a frenzy during the Bush years glamorizing Iraq war protesters and mercilessly attacking President Bush, now seek a tranquil political atmosphere. President Obama has called for an end to the name-calling. But it is his own party that demeans Americans who raise questions. Nancy Pelosi has compared them to Nazis. Harry Reid calls them evil mongers. His own White House calls them an unruly mob. If he is serious about the namecalling, he ought to look inward. President Obama has become ordinary. It remains to be seen whether or not a man like Obama, who holds himself in extreme self-regard, will be able to adapt to being a mere mortal. This presidency is failing, but it is far from over. Obama can save himself if he stops belittling his fellow Americans and begins to pay heed to his own call for bi-partisanship. That is the right idea. Compton is a Wichita senior in political science.

there and then. Theres no escape anymore. Technology has embedded itself in the deepest roots of societys tissue. This has led to some pretty serious problems. John ONeill, the director of addictions services at the Menninger Clinic in Houston, says our addiction to technology is an impulse disorder that can be as socially damaging as alcoholism, gambling and drug addiction. So to me, dating someone who does an after-date text is like dating an alcoholic. But instead of getting thrown up on and turned off, the inevitable text will finish the job. So its official. Technology is trying to assassinate everything dating once stood for. Dont shoot yourself just yet, because, ladies and gentlemen, I have the solution. Just steer clear of the post-date text and everything will be wonderful. Wait a few days, send that text and enjoy dating the way it should be. Come to think about it, dont text at all. Grow a pair and call them. UWire

Elected freshman senators take seats to represent class

BY MEGAN HEACOCK
mheacock@kansan.com

FreShman Senator Lineup

Here are the five freshman senators who were elected last week. They attended their first Student Senate meeting Wednesday.

KU students elected five freshman candidates last week to represent them in Student Senate. The new representatives are: Javon Shackelford, Alpharetta, Ga., Christine Lee, Omaha, Neb., Adam Miklos, Hutchinson, Kan., Alex Rippberger, Olathe, Kan. and Gabe Bliss, Olathe, Kan. The senators attended their first Senate meeting last Wednesday. Christine Lee, the only woman to be elected, said she was amazed with the results. I was surprised and elated to get elected, she said. I wasnt sure how the results would be because I am an out-ofstate student and only knew five people coming to Kansas. Alex Earles, Salina senior and student executive chair of Student Senate, said 622 people voted for this election, which was less than half of the 1,491 students who voted last year. Earles said there may have been a decrease in voters this year because only 17 people campaigned to be freshman senators, compared to the usual 25-30 candidates of years past. Earles also said heavy rainfall during campaign week washed away chalk drawings and may have deterred people from being in front of Wescoe to campaign. Besides chalk on a sidewalk, some candidates relied on elec-

tronic means of communication, mostly through Facebook. Every candidate except Lee created a campaign group on Facebook to rally support. Rippberger, who created a Facebook group with Bliss, said that Facebook was extremely helpful in reminding people to vote but that talking face-to-face was still a valuable method. I felt that talking to my friends and other people I knew around campus was the best way to create interest and votes, he said. Rippberger said he wanted to get involved with the finance committee of Student Senate, citing a need for the group to be more financially strict with its decisions. Earles said addressing these

kinds of concerns was the purpose of Student Senate, and would be further shaped by the new senators. Student Senate is the voice of the students to the administration, community and even the state and national government, he said. Through Student Senate and its five standing committees, which are open to all students, everyone has a voice and a place to express concerns and desires for change. Freshman elections take place every fall. Any freshman may participate by submitting a $20 check or 50 signatures from other freshmen, according to the Student Senate Web site.

Jayhawk fans make UTEP feel like home

By Nicolas RoesleR
nroesler@kansan.com

COMMENTARY

ON ThE sidEliNEs

he Kansas football team traveled to play University of Texas, El Paso, in the Sun Bowl on Saturday, but they did not travel alone. The Sun Bowl, scenically located in between two desert mountains, looked as empty as our football stands did about six years ago when we were revamping our football program. Yet, even with the lack of UTEP fans, Kansas fans had an assuring showing. You could hear the crowd cheer through the TV when senior wide receiver and quarterback Kerry Meier launched his 56-yard pass downfield to newly-returned wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe. I was impressed at the support from so many Jayhawk fans at an opponents home stadium. My mothers side of the family lives in El Paso, and I have made many visits to the enormous city of more than 600,000 people, which borders Mexico and the city of Juarez. Two kinds of football are popular down there: Dallas Cowboys football and ftbol (soccer). Soccer is very popular in Mexico and among El Pasos residents, who are 76 percent Mexican, according to www. census.gov. You could tell in the Sun Bowl on Saturday that, even although a nationally ranked team was in town, the fans didnt show up and fill the stadium. One of my only explanations for this is that a huge Mexican Soccer League tournament took place in Juarez over the weekend. Fortunately, the Jayhawk faithful made this away game seem a little more at home. Seeing our fans so passionate in an opponents stadium made me appreciate our great fans even more. One other element that may have contributed to the showing by our wonderful traveling troupe of fans might be that about 35 percent of our football team is from Texas. Senior quarterback Todd Reesing is from just outside of Austin, Briscoe is from Dallas and senior defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule is from Arlington. These three players made some of the best plays of the game in their home state, and I would bet that their families had no trouble getting to the game to see their loved ones perform. Onyegbule recorded two sacks and four tackles in the first half. Briscoe returned from his suspension, caught eight passes for 154 yards and extended his streak of 100-yard receiving games to five, dating back to last year. Reesing completed 25 of 41 passes for 260 yards and helped lead the team to 576 total yards of offense. The Miners home crowd might not have been that big, but one thing in Texas sure is: the loyalty of Kansas football fans. I just hope our native Texans play as well as they did Saturday when they travel to Lubbock, Texas, on Oct. 31 to play the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Senior Ryan Davis prepares for practice for the men's basketball team. Davis is known as "Frankie" to the team.

Senior Ryan Davis sets up for practice last Wednesday. Davis wants to be a coach and feels that being a manager is a great place to be.

Small jobs make a big difference

cthibodeaux@kansan.com Normally, people know Ryan Davis simply as Ryan. But as the mens basketball team manager, hes known by a different name: Frankie. In Davis first week on the job, assistant coach Kurtis Townsend called for a Frankie during warm-ups. No one knew anyone by that name, but Townsend had his eye on Davis and he was the one who replied. I guess since I responded to it, he thought Ill just keep calling him Frankie, Davis said.

Im not sure if all the newcomers know him as Ryan, because everyone calls him Frankie, Kansas coach Bill Self said. Davis, a fifth year senior, started as a manager with the Jayhawks during his sophomore year. Working at basketball camps during the summer before his sophomore year acquainted him with previous managers of the team. This, along with his basketball IQ and work ethic, helped him get a manager position. Self said all the managers had crucial roles that went unnoticed ticipate in drills setting screens or by all except the team and its rebounding. The managers also assist the staff.

In an age of increasingly larger athletes, Wheeler, at 6-foot-7, is still stop-and-stare-at-the-sky tall. Its fair to say, then, that Wheeler tends to stand out in most situations. The problem? Wheeler failed to distinguish himself on the football field. Thats why coach Mark Mangino issued his tallest defender a challenge before the start of the season. I told him at one time, 'You know youve had four years here where you really didnt break through, Mangino said. This is your last year.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Sports do not build character. They reveal it.

Sports anchors not so punny

O
n the face of it, Kansas newfound devotion to running the football ought to help balance the offense. That ought to lead to a more productive offense, and more wins. Which is nice, I suppose. Scoring points is a good thing. Winning is even better. Should Jake Sharp continue to produce at the level he has 113 yards and one-and-a-half rushing touchdowns per game both of those things figure to occur frequently. Now, how Sharp can manage to score a half touchdown, I have no idea. But, with a maturing offensive line and an offensive coordinator whos determined to craft a quality running game, I have faith. Whats more, I have hope. Hope that Jake Sharp continues to impress. And not just for the obvious benefits already menabeecher@kansan.com

tioned. Because, as great as those things are, some things are better. Some things, like puns. And with Sharp-derived puns, any sports broadcaster or writer can feel clever enough to write for CW sitcoms. The offensive line opens a gaping hole? Hey, thats some sharp blocking by the Jayhawks. An opposing defender whiffs on a hit? Looks like his tackling isnt very sharp today. Need a transition to commercial break? Kansas looking sharp as the third quarter comes to a close. With a little creative editing,

And what if freshman Toben Opurum continues to impress while spelling Sharp? Kansas looks Opurum doesnt make such a nice headline. Thankfully, the pun neednt stop anytime soon, although this is Sharps senior season. Looking to the future, theres Kale Pick. Seems easy enough. Pick drops back, and throws the... nevermind. Maybe thats not such a sharp idea after all.

Trouble in the Big 12: Teams lose on the road

AssociAted Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. For a conference that entered the season with so much hype, the Big 12 has had a rough couple of weeks. Oklahoma was ranked third in the preseason, but lost to Brigham Young in its opener. Oklahoma State, with its highest ranking in 24 years, lost to Houston last week. Kansas State couldnt beat Louisiana-Lafayette on the road. Colorado cant beat anyone. Does this mean the end of the Big 12s rise to the top of college football? Not quite yet, the coaches insist. Its still too early to tell. Its a long season, its a 12-game season, its a grind. I wouldnt judge the Big 12 the first couple of weeks, Kansas coach Mark Mangino said Monday during the The conferences depth has Big 12 coaches call.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Its still unclear if quarterback Matt Cassel will be ready for the Kansas City Chiefs home opener against Oakland on Sunday. The status of cornerback Brandon Flowers is also up in the air. Flowers and Cassel were both on the sidelines when the Chiefs lost their season opener 38-24 at Baltimore on Sunday, giving up 501 yards of total offense. But there were some positives for the Chiefs to take into their preparations for the upcoming Raiders game. As many Kansas city fans have noted, the Chiefs showed a lot of fight. They didnt fold when they got down 10-0 in the first quarter. And before Baltimore scored its final touchdown with a few seconds to play, the Chiefs were actually in position to record what would have been their first win in nearly a year.

Kansas hopes to prove itself within talented Big 12

Postseason could be challenge for team
zgetz@kansan.com With Kansas goal of making the NCAA Volleyball Tournament, coach Ray Bechard said that he thought his team would need to finish in the top half of the Big 12 Conference. If you are in the top half of this conference, the chances for you to play after the regular season are very good, Bechard said. That may be tough to carry out because the Big 12 has some of the top teams in the country. With the non-conference tournaments over, Kansas will have to switch its focus to the powerful Big 12. Bechard said that the strength of play in the Big 12 was on a whole new level from what the team had seen so far. Ready or not, here it comes, Bechard said. Currently Texas and Nebraska are ranked in the top five and are contenders for the national title while Kansas State and Iowa State are ranked in the Top 25.

Cardinals forgo using injured Smoltz

By R.B. FaLLStROM
Associated Press ST. LOUIS The St. Louis Cardinals skipped John Smoltzs turn in the rotation Monday night after he complained of shoulder tendinitis two days earlier. The 42-year-old right-hander said he felt good enough to pitch but realized it was wise to take precautions. Im not saying its the most probable situation, but I could have pitched, Smoltz said. So were not taking any chances. Its progressed the way I thought. Todd Wellemeyer filled in for Smoltz against the Florida Marlins, making his first start since July 26. Smoltz, 1-1 with a 3.27 ERA in four starts with St. Louis, thinks hes set to start Sunday against the Cubs, although manager Tony La Russa said he hasnt set his rotation beyond the three-game Florida series. Smoltz received an anti-inflammatory shot for the pain, which he said crops up from time to time. He was scheduled for a bullpen session Tuesday, which would help him regain a feel for pitching. You play mental games more than anything else and Im used to those, Smoltz said. Oh, I havent picked up a ball in nine days, How am I going to be? Im not like that. I just think Im going to be like where I left off. La Russa said the Cardinals havent decided whether to use Smoltz as a setup man or as a starter in the postseason. One factor is the health of starter Kyle Lohse, who was awaiting results of an MRI exam on a forearm injury originally sustained in late May. Lohse lasted 3 1-3 innings and gave up four runs on Saturday against the Braves in his first start since Aug. 21 after returning from the 15-day disabled list from a groin strain. A 15-game winner in 2008, hes struggled much of the year with mechanics after the forearm injury, sustained when he was hit by a pitch, and was 5-8 with a 4.83 ERA. Its hard to put a finger on, Lohse said. The ball is coming out with the same velocity as it was before, Im just fighting every pitch to try to get the same release out of my hand. La Russa said every start Smoltz makes strengthens his case for a key role in October.

In an effort to raise money to aid in the fight against cancer, Kansas Athletics has announced it will again partner with the Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center as part of the Jayhawks for a Cure campaign. The campaign, which raised more than $15,000 last year, will benefit Lawrence Memorial Hospital and the KU Cancer Center. The first event of the year will take place Oct. 11 when the soccer team faces Colorado at 1 p.m. Fans wearing pink will be admitted to the game for $3, instead of the usual price of $8, and donations will be accepted at the door. The annual WBCA Pink Zone game will take place when womens basketball hosts Kansas State Feb. 7 in Allen Fieldhouse. Last year more than 7,000 fans attended the game. Other teams, including swimming and diving and volleyball, will also host events. Additional events will be announced throughout the year.

Team starts practicing for home invitationals

The Kansas softball team took the field at Arrocha Ballpark yesterday for its first fall practice. The team began preparations for the two tournaments it will host in October the Jayhawk Fall Invitational Oct. 3 and the KU Fall Invite Oct. 10 and 11. I am really excited to finally see the entire team together for the first time, coach Megan Smith said in a press release. The players worked extremely hard during individual workouts and they have adapted well to our new philosophies. We will continue to focus on fundamentals for the first few weeks of team practice as we prepare for our fall games. Seven starters return to the team, which opens its fall season against Emporia State and Central Missouri State Oct. 3 at home.

Despite big play, Broncos need help

by arniE staPlEton
Associated Press ENGLEWOOD, Colo. With the euphoria of the Immaculate Deflection subsiding, the Denver Broncos returned to work Monday determined to fix plenty of problems that were exposed in their wild victory at Cincinnati. We certainly didnt do everything we wanted to do the way we wanted to do it, coach Josh McDaniels said. But we did do enough things well enough for us to be in it late in the game and give ourselves an opportunity to make a play. Before Brandon Stokleys 87-yard touchdown catch on a deflected pass with 11 seconds left gave the Broncos a farfetched 12-7 win over the bewildered Bengals, Denvers offense failed at every turn. Kyle Orton had thrown for just 156 yards, Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall and top draft pick Knowshon Moreno were a step slow and the bumbling offense failed to take any heat off Denvers defense. Marshall looked mechanical and was unable to gain his usual separation. He dropped the first pass thrown his way and let a deep pass slip through his hands before finishing with four catches for a paltry average of 6.8 yards. He missed almost all offseason while recuperating from hip surgery, protesting his pay and serving a suspension. Moreno, who injured a knee in the preseason, gained just 19 yards on eight carries, and it appeared as though Orton thought he was still in Chicago at times when he got happy feet way too quickly behind Denvers stout offensive line. Five times the Broncos went three-and-out.

Mens, womens teams rank nationally in poll

Kansas can add two more to its list of ranked teams. Both the womens and the mens cross-country teams have been ranked in a poll just released by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. In the preseason poll the womens team is ranked ninth in the Midwest Region and the mens team is ranked tenth. So far this season both teams have lived up to their ranking the mens team finished first in both of its races and the womens team finished first and a close second.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Stokley runs off the field after the Broncos defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 12-7 Sunday in Cincinnati. Stokley scored the winning touchdown on an 87-yard pass reception. Guard Ben Hamilton false started, center Casey Wiegmann held and Orton took a sack on sequential plays to move them out of kicker Matt Praters field goal range. That whole series was bad football, McDaniels said. And it finally caught up to them. Denvers refurbished defense finally bent, allowing the Bengals to drive 91 yards for the go-ahead score on Cedric Bensons 1-yard TD run with 38 seconds left. Carson Palmer was suddenly comfortable in the pocket without the Broncos blitzing, and McDaniels said the fatigue factor probably caught up with them on that drive. We werent on the field enough offensively to prevent that, he said. Weve got to have to ball for more than 26 minutes offensively if we want our defense to hold up as the game goes on. Weve got to play better complementary football on both sides. All the foibles faded, however, when Stokley cradled cornerback Leon Halls deflection at midfield and raced untouched into the end zone with the longest winning play from scrimmage in the final minute of a game in NFL history. The Broncos arent ready to relegate the play to franchise lore just yet. McDaniels said it holds too many lessons.

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Chase Utley, top, and New York Mets Anderson Hernandez collide as Hernandez steals second in the seventh inning of the second game of a baseball doubleheader Sept. 13 in Philadelphia.

Martinez reminds fans hes still got the goods

by dan GElston
Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Pedro Martinez was considered finished. Then he put on the Phillies pinstripes and made everyone remember how good he once was. And still is. The 37-year-old is healthy and pitching like his old Cy Young self and giving the Phillies every reason to believe he can keep this going the rest of September and October. Martinez tossed six-hit ball and threw 130 pitches in eight shutout innings, leading NL East-leading Philadelphia to a 1-0 win over the New York Mets and a doubleheader sweep on Sunday night. I came here with the mentality that, in the last quarter of the season, I could help this team when it matters probably the most, he said. I think today was a good example of what really mattered to give the bullpen a rest, to help your teammates when youre needed. Ryan Madson worked a scoreless ninth for his eighth save after Brad Lidge finished the opener, won 5-4 by the Phillies. Martinez (5-0) was still going strong when he hit 90 mph and fanned David Wright for the first out in the eighth and officially made it his longest outing of the year. The fans roared when Manuel jogged back to the dugout with Martinez still on the mound. I was keeping him in anyway, Manuel said. I had to see what he was going to say. Tim Redding (2-6) was just as effective over six innings and retired 14 straight at one point, allowing only Chase Utleys RBI single in the first inning. In the opener, Kyle Kendrick (1-1) pitched into the eighth and Victorino and Ben Francisco each homered. Lidge, temporarily demoted from his Phillies closer role this week, gave up two runs in the ninth but finished for his 29th save in 39 opportunities. The Mets were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. I have a lot of respect for them, regardless of what happened, why Im not with the Mets, Martinez said. It doesnt matter anymore. Its all business. I just have to let it go.

Daymond Patterson added: It was probably one of our better games with pressure. Patterson and the rest of Kansas secondary served as the biggest benefactors. The Jayhawks ranked 10th in the Big 12 in pass defense last season, largely because the defensive line failed to generate disruptive pressure. Patterson said that from his perspective, Saturdays game had a different feel to it. Its way easier out there just knowing the pressure is getting back there so the quarterback is having to think faster, Patterson said. He has to get the ball out faster and then hes running around scrambling so his passes arent as accurate. After the game, Wheeler talked about the defensive lines play and spread credit to the tutoring of Sims and Mangino. He talked about returning to the field and the relative ease of working against UTEPs offensive line. Then, he talked about his desire to make a difference this season. This year, Wheeler said, I want to change things and get back on top where I think I should be. The same can be said for Kansas defensive line. Edited by Jacob Muselmann

For the second week in a row, the o-line did really well, Sharp said. Im happy with those guys and happy to run behind those guys. Sharp rushed for 104 yards against UTeP, increasing his season total to 227 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. He has averaged 6.1 yards per carry in the two games. Coach mark mangino also noted the lines continued improvement early in the season. Tonight was a really big night for the offensive line, mangino said. That group is getting better.

Kansas defense played well against UTeP on Saturday. As mangino said after the game, its hard to complain after surrendering just four rushing yards and seven points. but Thornton said the Jayhawks made one lingering mistake: They allowed a 75-yard touchdown catch and run by UTeP wide receiver donavon Kemp. Thats all were going to be thinking about on the bus ride home is how one play kept us from getting a shutout, Thornton said. Thats what we really wanted.

memorabilia dealer sues Simpson

BY Ken ritter
Associated Press LAS VEGAS A memorabilia dealer who blames his heart attacks on the stress of being robbed at gunpoint by O.J. Simpson is suing the former football star and five other men who were in the room during the heist, seeking unspecified civil damages. A lawyer for Bruce Fromong said Monday he intends to show a Nevada jury that his 55-yearold clients four heart attacks were caused by the emotional stress of the September 2007 robbery in a Las Vegas casino hotel room and its aftermath. Fromong, of North Las Vegas, said he is still seeing doctors for physical maladies he blames on the encounter. He said he and his wife, Lynette Fromong, have suffered financially, mentally and physically. Simpsons lawyer, Yale Galanter, called the lawsuit frivolous. Im going to fight this guy tooth and nail, Galanter said from Miami, Fla. Initially, Fromong said his heart attacks were caused by the news media. Now hes switching his story and saying O.J. caused it. It names Simpson and convicted co-defendant Clarence C.J. Stewart as defendants, along with four former co-defendants who were initially charged with Simpson and Stewart but took plea deals and testified for the prosecution. Walter Alexander, Charles Cashmore, Charles Ehrlich and Michael McClinton each pleaded guilty to lesser felonies and received probation. The lawsuit also names Thomas Riccio the go-between who arranged the ill-fated meeting with Fromong and was never charged with a crime. Riccio said Fromong told him of a possible lawsuit in May when they saw each other at a memorabilia show in San Francisco. 'My lawyers want to sue everybody and see what sticks, Riccio said Fromong told him. Hes trying to make his money the wrong way, Riccio told The Associated Press on Monday night. The other memorabilia peddler who was robbed, Alfred Beardsley, is not named as a defendant. Simpson, 62, is serving nine to 33 years at Lovelock Correctional Center, 90 miles northeast of Reno, for his conviction on charges including armed robbery and kidnapping. Simpson claimed he didnt know anyone had guns and that he was only trying to retrieve items that had been stolen after his acquittal in the 1994 slayings of his exwife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in Los Angeles. Stewart, 55, is serving 7 1/2 to 27 years at Northern Nevada Correctional Center in Carson City. Both men are appealing their convictions.

Woods wins by eight shots at the BMW Championship

BY DOUG FERGUSON
Associated Press

Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN

Owen Martin, Shawnee freshman, throws a frisbee outside of Ellsworth Hall. There are two frisbee clubs students can participate in on campus, Betty Ultimate and the Horrorzontals.

LEMONT, Ill. One of the slogans for the FedEx Cup is that every shot counts, which proved meaningful even as Tiger Woods was well on his way to another blowout victory in the BMW Championship. The outcome was never in doubt. Woods took out a month of frustration on a Cog Hill course that had been refurbished with hopes of landing a U.S. Open. He broke the course record with a 62 in the third round to build a seven-shot lead, and he closed with a 3-under 68 to win by eight shots over Jim Furyk and Marc Leishman. Even the worlds No. 1 player was surprised to learn it was his 10th victory on the PGA Tour by at least eight shots. You need to get hot on a tough track, Woods said. Most compelling on Sunday was that even as Woods was cruising toward his sixth victory of the year to assure himself the No. 1 seed in the final tournament for the FedEx Cup, the pressure on the rest of the field became even greater. The BMW Championship was the final playoff event to crack the top 30 in the standings and qualify for the Tour Championship in two week at East Lake in Atlanta, where the winner picks up a $10 million bonus. A dozen players were sweating over every shot, and it showed. Ian Poulter, who was No. 30 going into the week, dunked his approach into the water on the final hole and made bogey. He finished out of the top 30 by less than half a point, the smallest margin in the three-year history of the series. John Senden, realizing he was in range, hit a wedge from 90 yards that came up 40 yards short

Tiger Woods smiles as he holds the J.K. Wadley trophy after winning the BMW Championship golf tournament in Lemont, Ill., Sunday. of the green. It was a shot rarely seen at Cog Hill even by the public customers who pay $140 for the privilege. Senden still managed to get the 30th and final spot because Brandt Snedeker, knowing he needed only two putts from 12 feet to make bogey and qualify for the East Lake bonanza, took four putts instead. The last two didnt matter, and they were a product of being in shock over seeing his 3-foot bogey putt crash into the lip and spin out. Furyk, the co-winner of the B-Flight at the BMW Championship, rarely had a runner-up mean so much. His 66 allowed him to jump 15 spots to No. 3. Furyks round was critical, for he moved from No. 18 to No. 3 and now has a chance to beat Woods. Despite finishing eight shots behind at Cog Hill, and more than 4,000 points behind Woods in the FedEx Cup, they essentially start from scratch. Now, its basically a sprint, Woods said.
