It took Alex Salamat a few min-
utes to register what he saw in
front of him: MacbethAlex
Salamat. He had been reading
the play for weeks. Now auditions
were finally over and the cast list
was posted.
It was so surreal when I found
out I got the part, Salamat,
Mission Hills senior, said. Now
Im just ready to perform the story
for other people. I cant wait to see
the audience fill the theater once
the curtain goes up.
Amy Buchanan, Stillwater,
Okla,. senior, who will be playing
Lady Macbeth, said she auditioned
with Salamat in the first week of
school.
It took a little while to sink
in that I had gotten the part,
Buchanan said. Alex and I audi-
tioned together and that felt so
perfect. The weekend they were
deciding parts I was feeling so
strangely confident, and when I
found out I had the part, it was like
walking around in a dream.
Premiering tonight, the
shortest play in William
Shakespeares repertoire, Macbeth,
will begin its five-night run in the
Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy
Hall.
The drama begins with three
witches prophesizing to Macbeth
that he will eventually become
King of Scotland. Throughout the
play, Macbeth is confronted with
personal and public dilemmas that
lead to his downfall.
The show was chosen by
Tazewell Thompson, a New York
guest director. He directed Street
Scene in the fall of 2008 and was

KU works
to improve
cell phone
signals
BY JESSE RANGEL
jrangel@kansan.com
Marginal cell phone network cover-
age in Wescoe Hall almost cost Caylor
Luther a $1,400 scholarship.
Luther, Troy sophomore, was sit-
ting in a Western Civilization class
in Wescoe Hall last month with his
cell phone in his pocket. An expected
phone call from the French Founda-
tion, an organization that ofered him
a scholarship, turned into a missed
call and a voice mail. Representatives
from the organization called during
class but no signal in the concrete
building meant no ring. Luther tried
to return the call but for fve days
couldnt reach the ofce.
I kept calling and I couldnt get a
hold of them, so I had to wait for the
weekend to go by until they were back
in the ofce, Luther said. I got kind of
nervous. I was worried about it. I was
in a dead zone.
Afer nearly a week of anticipation,
Luther fnally connected with the foun-
dation and secured his scholarship.
As phone carriers work to install
additional cellular capacity service on
campus, a potential new antenna plan
could make missed calls and campus
dead zones vanish. Te University is
still fnishing its installation of Wi-Fi
networks. Talks are ongoing about a
possible new system that distributes
more powerful cell phone signals to
the far corners on campus, such as
the basement of Malott Hall. Te Dis-
tributed Antenna System would place
brand new antennas all over campus
and would be connected to a fber-
optic cable network to antennas that
connect to cell phone networks.
Chuck Crawford, director of IT,
enterprise, infrastructure and secu-
rity, said the University is talking with
a third-party company to develop a
carrier-neutral approach, where car-
riers would buy into the network and
provide a multi-company solution on
campus. Te system would be at no
cost to the University because the car-
riers would pay for it.
No contracts have been signed yet.
Tis is a crucial need for us enhanc-
ing our communications capabilities
with students, Crawford said.
Andy Haverkamp, Hoyt junior and
technology director for Student Sen-
ate, said he thought cellular data was
the way of the future.
I believe within the next two or
three years youre going to see less and
less students with laptops and more
and more students with smart phones
such as the Blackberry, the iPhone,
which can do all of their note-taking,
e-mail, messaging, data transfer,
Haverkamp said.

up IN smOKE
BY ALY VAN DYKE
avandyke@kansan.com
Hani Chahine walks the en-
tire length of the Hookah House,
which he co-owns, in a quick eight
seconds. He slows only to load a
hookah with burning coals.
Once his customers are happy
and smoking from their hookahs,
Chahine, Tripoli, Lebanon, junior,
steps outside a smoke flled room
to have a cigarette.
Chahine cant smoke the ciga-
rette inside because its against
Lawrences indoor smoking ordi-
nance, which passed in 2004. He
and his customers can continue
to puf from their hookahs inside
because the lounge qualifes as a
retail tobacco store.
Similar exemptions have kept
hookah lounges throughout the
country from feeling the heat of re-
cent tobacco legislation and smok-
ing bans.
But with the Food and Drug
Administration taking a harder
look at marketing ploys to attract
younger tobacco smokers and as
more studies confrm the negative
health efects of hookah smoking,
some say hookah could be the
next tobacco product put on burn
notice.
I believe that is something that
could very well be on the agenda
of the Food and Drug Adminis-
tration, Mary Jayne Hellebust,
executive director of the Tobacco
Free Kansas Coalition, said. Tey
have the power to eliminate favors
in those kind of products.
Britain and France already have
laws prohibiting hookah bars un-
der indoor smoking bans. Several
states and cities such as Seattle and
Boston, have considered passing
similar bans to include hookah
or they have passed other restric-
tions, such as preventing hookah
lounges from serving food.
Chahine said he wasnt worried
about bans prohibiting hookah be-
cause hookah is more about tradi-
tion than cheap thrills. He said the
18-year-old age limit helped pre-
vent younger people from smok-
ing.
But that doesnt mean younger
people arent smoking at home; the
Hookah House, 730 Massachu-
setts Street, and other retail stores
throughout Lawrence sell hookahs
and shisha, the favored tobacco
smoked by a hookah, for personal
use.

cigarettes, leading some to believe hookah legislation is on the horizon.

Mountain Dewds
BY KIrSten KWon
kkwon@kansan.com

Pig roasts, box derby races and
QuikTrip birthday parties; noth-
ing is out of the question for the
Mountain Dewds.
It all started in 2003 with a group
of guys road tripping to Arizona.
They stopped at a gas station and
found an old box of T-shirts outside.
The discovery of the shirts, which
read Mountain Dewds, gave the
group its namesake.
We dont have anything to
do with mountains or the drink
Mountain Dew, Matthew Shaw,
Hiedelberg, Germany, senior, said.
The Mountain Dewds consist
of 21 male KU students who live
together in two houses on Tennessee
Street. In Dewdville, the room-
mates, who are Christian, try to
live by example by throwing non-
alcoholic events and inviting people
from the Lawrence community.
Were not against drinking,
Shaw said, We just think theres
other, more awesome things to do.
The Dewds throw four major
events a year including a date night,
Halloween party, ramp party, which
involves a barbecue and biking off
ramps into Potter Lake, and Keith
Day, when they hand out free kool-
aid on campus.
Keith, a former roommate from
2004, was constantly busy with
school and work and rarely had
time to spend with the guys. The
Dewds wanted to come up with a
way to show Keith he was still an
important member of the group.
What better way to hang out
with him than to throw him his
own holiday? Shaw asked. There
are photos of Keith throughout the
house and one outside that can be
seen from the street.
The Dewds Halloween party
brought in around 400 people last
year. Complete with lasers, a fog
machine and a DJ, its their biggest
event of the year. But Shaw said
friends are always stopping by the
houses to hang out. He said you
dont have to live in Dewdville to
be a Dewd.
Its really anyone that takes part
in the community and promotes
our ideals, Shaw said.
Living in Dewdville means being a
part of a group. While the Mountain
Dewd houses may be compared to a
fraternity or a ministry house, Shaw
said they are neither.
Its unique, Shaw said. Were
not a frat because we stand for
different things than they do; but
were also not what a ministry does
because we hate how strict some
Christians can be.
That attitude is not the only thing
that makes these houses stand out.
Inside, visitors find stadium seat-
ing in the living room, a McDonalds
drive-thru sign near the door, a
snake named Delilah and their own
rendition of a Blockbuster DVD
rental system.
Theres a culture associated with
it, theres alumni, theres tradition,
Shaw said. And the Mountain Dewd
mission is simple.
Our goal is to promote awe-
someness, Shaw said.

Museum to celebrate
WARhol and PEACE
Students will have a chance
to enjoy free screenprint-
ing and nostalgic food this
evening. The Spencer Student
Advisory Board is hosting its
biannual Student Night at
5:30 tonight at the Spencer
Museum of Art.
Chase Bray, president of the
advisory board, said the theme
this year, WARhol and PEACE,
was inspired by the current
Andy Warhol and graphic
imperative exhibits featured at
the museum this Fall.
Members of Asteroid Head
Art Club, co-sponsored by
Wonder Fair Art Gallery, will be
doing live T-shirt screenprint-
ing at the event.
Its going to be really excit-
ing to have screenprinting be-
ing done in front of everyone,
Bray said. Im excited to see
what the artists came up with
in response to the exhibits.
Bray said if students
bring their own shirts, the
screenprinting will be free, but
there will be a charge for shirts
at the event. Live music by
Blow Chi and candy and food
inspired by the 1980s will also
be available.
Remember candy ciga-
rettes?Bray said. I havent
actually seen any since junior
high, but well defnitely have
some there.
A food drive will also be
set up for students interested
in donating a can of food to
Lawrence Interdenominational
Nutrition Kitchen in exchange
for a Polaroid picture and their
name entered into a rafe for
a screenprinted shirt or other
prizes.
Students will also have the
chance to see a screening of
Chuck Workmans 1991 docu-
mentary Superstar: The Life &
Times of Andy Warhol.
Its a really cool way to get
students involved,Bray said.
Were all excited to see the
end result.

our bodies are meant to do, but
I dont feel like hookah is as bad
as cigarettes.
A study conducted in 1991
found that some shisha smoke
contains signifcantly fewer
chemicals than cigarette smoke
142 compounds compared to
4,700. However, given the pro-
longed exposure to smoke in a
usual hookah session, experts
have warned that hookah can be
as, if not more, dangerous than
cigarettes.
Several studies have con-
frmed the dangers of hookah
smoking:
Hellebust said every type
of tobacco product, including
shisha, can be dangerous.
Te best thing to do with
tobacco is literally to never get
started, Hellebust said. If you
have started, do your best to
quit.
Horwitz said his parents
would stop paying for college
if he started smoking cigarettes
or cigars, and he has dutifully
obliged.
He said they were all right
with the hookah mainly because
his father is Jewish and because
he told them health risks de-
pended on the coal and tobacco
used.
Horwitz was right, to an ex-
tent. Herbal shisha, which claims
to be free of tobacco, nicotine
and tar, does exist. However,
studies have not yet determined
whether health risks from these
products are reduced.
Regardless of what is in the
shisha, the coal used to burn it
poses health risks of its own. Ac-
cording to the Centers for Dis-
ease Control and Prevention,
the hookah charcoal increases
the health risks by producing
high levels of carbon monox-
ide, metals, and cancer-causing
chemicals.
Another myth about hookah
smoke is that the water in the
pipe removes harmful chemi-
cals, said Ken Sarber, health
educator with Student Health
Services at Watkins Memorial.
On that point the CDC says,
Even afer it has passed through
water, the smoke produced by a
hookah contains high levels of
toxic compounds.
Chahine said the shisha
made at the Hookah House
contains tobacco and a small
amount of nicotine. He said
he tried to encourage people
not to smoke every day and
to not stay more than an
hour and half for one sitting.
He also said he was aware
hookah could pose health ef-
fects if people spent too long
smoking, but said the same
principle goes for everything
else, be it alcohol or choco-
late.
Everything has a limit,
he said. Anything you abuse
will damage your health.

invited back for another directing
stint at the University.
The KU students have been
brilliant, and I rarely use that
term, Thompson said. The
audiences are going to find that
they will hear and understand the
words largely because you can tell
the actors are enjoying themselves.
I think theyll have a great time.
The production will also feature
new original music by award-win-
ning New York composer Fabian
Obispo.
He has written a great score,
Thompson said. In between each
scene there is music that I feel pro-
pels the play and is the heartbeat
of the production.
Macbeth has received a lot
of input from guest artists. Many
members of the production staff,
however, are from the area.
Jeremy Riggs, a 2009 KU grad-
uate, is fight director for the play.
He has been working with the
actors to choreograph and make
the major fight scenes and other
violent acts look realistic and as
if they belong in certain spots.
The challenging part is inter-
preting the text and finding the
places where we can solidify what
is being said with the action we
bring onto the stage, Riggs said.
But seeing the hard work come
together and being able to watch
the actors doing them well is
exciting.
Salamat said his favorite part
of the play was in Act Five when
Macbeth turns into an animal
and essentially is an insane killing
machine.
Its so fun to play because thats
not how I am at all, he said.
Salamat said since auditions,
the practices have been going
practically nonstop. He said he
and Buchanan were ready to per-
form what they have been rehears-
ing for weeks now.
It kind of gives me a headache
just doing it, Salamat said of play-
ing the part of Macbeth. Hes a
walking contradiction. Every line
he says is contradicted by the next.
Its difficult, but its also kind of
fun.
Macbeth is said to be
Shakespeares most tragic play. It
was written in the early 1600s and
was supposedly first performed
at Shakespeares Globe Theatre in
London in 1611.
Ive never been in a play with
so much history, Buchanan said.
Working with Taz has been a
great experience.

walked into each foor of every
building on campus with the
potential vendor. But he said the
carriers would ultimately need to
buy into the several-million-dollar
project to make this work.
Te University has no business
in the carrier business, Crawford
said. So getting them to buy this
themselves and build this them-
selves is crucial to this moving
forward. Tey have to opt in and
buy it.
Crawford said the ofce was
close to having an initial design
completed, as they continued the
campus walk-throughs. He said
the dead spots on campus were
obvious to students.
Wescoe Hall: Ouch, Crawford
said. Strong Hall is a bunker. A
lot of these buildings are bunkers
on campus.
Te antennas would go in plac-
es such as shingles on roofs, bush-
es and light posts, Crawford said.
Te University would also receive
revenue from the possible project
and be able to use the fber-optic
cable for additional data services.
Importance of
connectIvIty
Darci Goddard, Logan senior,
sat for lunch in the concrete-heavy
Underground in Wescoe Hall last
week. With no Verizon Wireless
service, she used her phone as a
paperweight.
Its always been bad down
here, Goddard said.
Linzy Kirkpatrick, Wichita se-
nior, was able to send text mes-
sages and use the Internet on her
Sprint phone in the Underground,
but no phone calls.
Sarah VanGorden, Dallas fresh-
man, said she never had a connec-
tivity problem with her iPhone
back home. Now, she doesnt get
AT&T Inc. network service in the
Underground, so she eats lunch
outside and only surfs the Web.
Cell phone companies have al-
ready taken notice and increased
signal capacity on campus.
Marisa Giller, regional director
of corporate communications for
AT&T Inc. in Kansas and Mis-
souri, said the company increased
voice communication capacity
last week, targeted for the north-
east end of campus. She said ad-
ditional upgrades to multimedia
capacity, such as Internet, would
be coming in the next few weeks.
Brenda Hill, media contact
for Verizon Wireless in Kansas
and Missouri, said her company
had boosted its latest-generation
wireless network near campus as
recently as September. But she
said getting a signal inside of
buildings was a challenge for all
providers.
More and more people are us-
ing data, Hill said. Teyre using
their phones for more than voice
calls. And youve got to have a
faster signal to handle all those
data speeds. Students are heavy
users of data.

almost done.
Karen Nicholas, communica-
tions and public relations manag-
er for KU Information Technolo-
gy, said Student Senate had given
it a list of buildings to complete
its coverage of Wi-Fi on campus.
Tey include the atrium area of
Strong Hall, Smith Hall and the
Burge and Kansas Unions. Craw-
ford said that work was nearly
completed.
But the $5 wireless implemen-
tation fee that students pay is set
to expire at the end of this year.
Crawford said technology had
already changed so quickly that
keeping up was difcult. Once
the Wi-Fi network on campus is
fnished, theres no clear plan to
fund ongoing maintenance of the
network.
One of the problems with im-
plementing a huge infrastructure
like wireless is the ongoing main-
tenance, Crawford said.
He also said there were no re-
curring funds that allow for up-
dates to these new technologies.
He said the campus needs to fg-
ure out a funding model.
Haverkamp said Student Senate
had not devised a plan to fund on-
going maintenance.
Crawford said his ofce would
be making recommendations on
the maintenance issue to Univer-
sity administrators. He said other-
wise the University would contin-
ue to chase outdated technology.
Its like open the foodgates,
shut it, it gets outdated, open the
foodgates, shut it, it gets outdat-
ed, Crawford said. We need a
nice sustainable model.

Dangers of hookah smokIng
Several studies have confrmed the dangers of
hookah smoking:
nAccording to a 2005 World Health Organi-
zation release, a person inhales between 100
and 200 times the smoke volume in a typical
one-hour hookah session than from a single
cigarette.
nA 1997 study found that a 45- to 60-minute
session of hookah exposed a smoker to an
amount of nicotine equivalent to chain smok-
ing 15 cigarettes.
nA study published in 2003 found that hoo-
kah smoke contains higher quantities of toxic
heavy metals, such as arsenic, nickel and lead,
compared to cigarette smoke.
nStudies throughout the world during the
past 17 years have found evidence linking
hookah smoking use to several health issues,
ranging from various cancers to herpes.

Smith not involved in plot
AssociAted Press
MIAMI The FBI investigated
whether Anna Nicole Smith was
part of a plot to kill her tycoon hus-
bands son, whom she was battling
for his late dads fortune, but pros-
ecutors ultimately decided there
wasnt enough evidence to charge
the Playboy Playmate who died in
2007 from a drug overdose, newly
released files show.
Smiths FBI records, obtained
exclusively by The Associated Press,
say the agency investigated Smith in
2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire
plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall,
who was at the center of a long legal
fight to keep Smith from collecting
his fathers oil wealth, valued in the
hundreds of millions.
The younger Marshall has since
died.
The documents released under
the Freedom of Information Act
depict an investigation going on
as the fight raged over J. Howard
Marshall IIs estate. Vast sections of
the 100 pages of released materials
a fraction of Smiths full FBI file
are whited out, and no evidence
of her involvement in such a plot
is detailed.
There is no indication how
authorities became aware of the
alleged scheme, but agents inter-
viewed Smith on July 3, 2000.
When told why she was being
questioned, Smith began cry-
ing and denied ever making such
plans, a report said.
Smith adamantly denied ever
contemplating such a crime, an
agent wrote, and prosecutors even-
tually agreed the case could not go
forward.
An April 26, 2001, letter to the
FBI from Sally Meloch, an assistant
U.S. attorney, said she reviewed the
reports but determined that there
is insufficient evidence to establish
that there was a murder-for-hire
plot by Ms. Smith to kill Pierce
Marshall.
Reached at her Los Angeles office
on Tuesday, Meloch didnt recall
the case, but said, Any investiga-
tions that we didnt proceed with,
we couldnt comment on anyway.
An attorney for Smiths estate,
Kent Richland, was surprised by
the allegations.
I have not heard anything about
that, he said.

I
t is 7:45 on a Tuesday night
and I am hunting for a meal
in the directory of Lawrence
restaurants. I see plenty of pizza
options, plenty of expensive res-
taurants where I would have to
pay $12 for a grilled cheese and
a couple of Chinese options that
tempt me, but my laziness keeps
me in my cushioned couch.
I then start to salivate, dream-
ing of when I could drive to the
flagship Noodles & Company in
Denver, just five minutes from
my house. My mind takes my
stomach hostage and flashes
images of melty macaroni and
cheese, chewy noodles entangling
themselves in Pad Thai sauce and
comforting curry soup with steam
warming my eyelids. I only then
snap out of this fantasy and come
to my starving reality: I live in
Lawrence and there is no Noodles
& Company in sight.
At this point, I could keep up
my four-night streak of pizza, or
I could opt for my other overly
dialed number in my phone and
call Jimmy Johns. However, in
the near future I will have a new
option for my also under nour-
ished wallet and my stomach beg-
ging for a new protein to digest.
A Noodles & Company is
opening on the corner of Eighth
and Massachusetts streets. I have
enjoyed Noodles & Company
since I was a seventh grader and
could get the cheesiest macaroni
and cheese I had ever seen at a
fast food restaurant. The open-
ing of a Noodles & Company in
Lawrence is not only going to be
a taste-of-home for me, it will
benefit the entire population of
Lawrence, especially the students.
This restaurant will offer a
healthier alternative than other
fast food places. For one, all of the
dishes contain more than a grain,
dairy and meat product, which is
all most pizzas have. Noodles &
Company offers dishes for people
watching everything in their diet,
from calories and fats to sodium
and carbs. In fact, they have 16
dishes with 400 calories or less.
As happy as I am to see this
restaurant finally make it to
Lawrence, I am also sorry to see
the locally owned Palace Cards
& Gifts being replaced by it. I am
a huge supporter of everything
locally owned and hate to see cor-
porate America take out another
chunk of Lawrences originality. If
only Noodles & Company could
have been built on top of the card
shop, a strategy I think downtown
businesses need to consider in
order to supply the demands of
Lawrences growing population.
There are more positives than
negatives in this addition to
the Lawrence dining scene and
Noodles & Company will satisfy
all those looking for a quick, tasty
bite downtown.

THE L
I
remember a simpler time when
listening to hip-hop was more
of a deliberate experience than
it is today. One would embark on
an excursion to the store, buy a
rappers CD or cassette tape for
the veterans out there return
home and listen to the album the
whole way through, track by track.
You may be saying to yourself
that buying CDs from the store is
still perfectly possible, and indeed
this does still happen daily. Even so,
the concept of the tangible hip-hop
album has been discarded for the
most part in todays world where
music is demanded instantaneously
and quantity is valued over quality.
The Internet now rules the
hip-hop world, equipping fans
with a seemingly infinite stream
of original and remixed material.
Because of the emergence of
online file sharing, mixtapes have
dominated the hip-hop landscape
in recent years since they are free
and easy to download. A mixtape
is a sort of mini album that may
involve the artist rhyming over
pre-existing beats, rhyming over
exclusively original production or
a combination of the two.
Mixtapes have been blowing up
for years now, with every rapper
from Lil Wayne to that guy at your
local barbershop releasing tapes
in an attempt to maximize the
exposure to their music.
The unfortunate result of the
mixtape invasion has been a steady
dilution of talent and truly good
music in the hip-hop pool. Many
artists seem to be so concerned
with the amount of material they
release that they have forgotten
about taking the necessary time
to craft an actual album, one thats
original in content and consistent
in quality.
Though there have been plenty
of respectable mixtapes released
over the Internet, many consist of a
few good songs padded with about
18 tracks of filler material. It often
seems that artists get lazy and are
so eager to release the one or two
good tracks they have that they
crank out a dozen mediocre songs
in an effort to get the tape out as
soon as possible. More and more
artists seem unwilling to dedicate
the time and effort to compose
and perfect a marquee album these
days. As a result the production
of genuine hip-hop albums has
tragically become somewhat of a
lost art.
The Internet is clearly here to
stay. This is a good thing for hip-
hop as its music and culture will
only spread with its help. What
we have lost with the rise of the
Internet is the ritual of actually
buying an album and experiencing
it independently as its own unique
brand of hip-hop rather than just a
bunch more songs on our iTunes.
That, my fellow hip-hop heads,
is our loss.

THouGHTs
From a Hip-
Hop HEad
W
ith Kansas potentially
facing another budget
deficit in 2010, Gov.
Mark Parkinson has suggested a
tobacco tax to generate new rev-
enue. This could be an effective way
to close the budget shortfall and
encourage many Kansans to live
healthier lives.
Governor Parkinson has
said that he supports a meaning-
ful statewide smoking ban, said
Beth Martino, press secretary for
Governor Parkinson. He also has
said that if we are facing a bleak
budget picture, a cigarette tax is
something for the state to carefully
evaluate.
Currently the tobacco tax in
Kansas rests at 79 cents well
below the national average of $1.34.
Kansas has the 35th lowest tax in
the nation. The last time Kansas
raised the tobacco tax
was in 2002, when the tax
increased from 24 cents
to 79 cents. According to
state budget reports, the
tax added $81 million to
state revenue.
Cigarette companies and other
critics often say that tobacco taxes
decrease state revenue by forcing
too many smokers to quit. Though
its true revenue from the 2002 tax
hike has dropped by 26 percent
during the last eight years, it is still
bringing in double the revenue it
did before the increase.
Every state that has increased
tobacco taxes has seen an increase
in revenue, according to the U.S.
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau.
However, bringing in revenue
would not be the only potential
gain from a tobacco tax.
If it gets too expensive Id defi-
nitely have to quit, Jacob Holliday,
Lawrence freshman, said.
Internal documents from tobacco
lawsuits posted on tobaccofreekids.org
from multiple cigarette companies
confirms the simple fact that higher
tobacco taxes means fewer people
smoking.
A high cigarette price, more than
any other cigarette attribute, has
the most dramatic
impact on the share
of the quitting popu-
lation. Philip Morris
executive Claude
Schwab recorded in
an internal business
document.
A frequent criticism of tobacco
taxes is that the taxes are regres-
sive and hurt low-income smokers
more, which is an argument that
ignores the obvious.
There is nothing more regres-
sive than the economically disad-
vantaged having to bear all of the
health problems caused by smok-
ing, said Mary Jayne Hellebust,
executive director of Tobacco Free
Kansas.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control, low-income
smokers are also more likely to quit
than higher-income smokers when
tobacco taxes are raised.
Critics also say a problem this tax
might face comes from Missouri,
which has the second lowest tobac-
co tax in the nation at only 17 cents
a pack.
Though its true some smokers
already cross the border for cheaper
cigarettes and more almost certainly
will if the tax is raised, it is still a
fact that no state has ever seen rev-
enue drop when increasing tobacco
taxes, even when accounting for
cross border smuggling.
Missouris tax may also be partly
to blame for the state having the
fourth highest percentage of smok-
ers, which isnt a model Kansas
should be trying to follow.
Raising the tobacco tax in Kansas
would be a win-win situation: a
smaller deficit and healthier citi-
zens. Students and the community
should contact the governors office
to show support for this new pro-
posal.

Recycling economics
At the Wal-Mart Recycling
Center a few weeks ago, my
boyfriend Austin and I chatted
up one of the employees there.
While talking about the strange
things found in recycling bins
(bras and coffee mugs), Austin
suddenly asks, Why dont you
take number-five plastic? He
was frustrated that he had so
diligently washed out a cottage
cheese container only to find that
Wal-Mart wouldnt accept it.
The employee explained that
it all came down to the green:
money. Regrettably, theres been
an addition to the interconnected
trio (reduce, reuse and recycle):
recession. As the demand for
new products decreases, the
demand for recyclables also
decreases. For many materials,
particularly plastic, it is simply
cheaper to produce more rather
than recycle. And as with all
businesses, no demand means
no money which invariably
means no point.
Wal-Mart, which is in contract
with Midwest recycling tycoon
Deffenbaugh Industries, only
recycles number-one and number-
two plastic (water bottles, milk
jugs, shampoo bottles) because
its more economical.
I called Chris Scafe of
Sunflower Curbside Recycling
for more insider information on
the green behind this green trade.
He explained to me that because
number-one and number-two
plastic have a higher demand, it
is more profitable to spend the
effort and money on collecting,
storing and transporting these
plastics rather than number-five
plastics (yogurt containers).
After this, Austin and I
began to wonder why the City
of Lawrence doesnt provide a
citywide curbside recycling
program.
The reason? The green doesnt
justify the green. The city is
actually saving money throwing
our trash into the Hamm Sanitary
Landfill not only because the
landfill has such a low tipping
cost (the cost to dump trash), but
also because recycling is losing
its monetary incentives. Yet at a
time when more and more people
are recycling, it is important that
the city provide an accessible
service to meet the demand and
to encourage more recycling.
Though the economy
influences the eco-friendly,
recycling is still incredibly
important for minimizing
the amount of trash on Earth.
The most encouraging part of
writing this post came when I
asked Chris Scafe how he would
feel if the city did implement
a citywide curbside service and
put Sunflower Curbside out of
business.
I got into the recycling for
the environment, not the money,
Scafe said. Id be more than
happy to see Lawrence have a
citywide recycling service.

Safety
Lighted path in the works
BY ANNA ARCHIBALD
aarchibald@kansan.com
The City of Lawrence is working
with Student Senate and five other
student organizations to make the
possibility of a lighted pathway from
campus to downtown Lawrence a
reality for students walking late at
night.
Since August, these groups have
been developing a plan to install
lighting along the most commonly
used sidewalks in the student ghet-
to, the area of houses east of cam-
pus. The exact route is still being
determined.
Elise Higgins, Topeka senior and
Student Senate community affairs
director, said the lack of lighting
in that area was a safety problem
student groups had been looking at
for years. She said she hoped it would
become a reality next fall.
Ive lived around 13th and
Louisiana and often walk in that area
now, said Higgins. We dont want
and women or men to have to worry
about safety.
Shani Nisman, San Antonio
senior, moved into an apartment on
Kentucky Street at the beginning of
this semester. She said she liked the
idea because so many students lived
in the area.
Sometimes if Im at the library
kind of late and Im walking down
the hill, I look behind me and around
the entire time just because Im a girl
late at night alone, Nisman said.
Nisman said that friends had
warned her to be careful when she
was out late because she could be
mugged or attacked.
One lighting option, Higgins
said, would be 3-foot, tamper-proof
pedestrian lights. She said the groups
have considered various options for
the light source, but whatever they
decide on would meet Americans
with Disabilities Act requirements.
While safety is the most promi-
nent concern, it isnt the only issue
involved in the decision-making
process. Mark Thiel, assistant public
works director for the city, said cost
was also an issue.
We will determine the scope of the
project based on funds, Thiel said.
City and campus groups are still
figuring out how they would pay for
the lighted path, Higgins said. She
also said funding and the commu-
nity development grant the groups
were hoping for still needed to be
applied for. Higgins said the groups
would find out the cost of the project
in five or six weeks.
The organizations anticipate
neighborhood concerns about light
pollution, which happens when light
reaches nearby homes instead of the
intended areas. Both Higgins and
Thiel said that issue and the projects
cost would be addressed at a meeting
in November.
Greg Rudnick, assistant professor
in astronomy, said there was scien-
tific evidence that light pollution was
detrimental to nature. Beyond that,
he said, the project could cost resi-
dents a lot more on their energy bills
if administered incorrectly.
The big thing is going to be ener-
gy savings, Rudnick said. I think it
will be beneficial to the city to look at
long-term price tag instead of what
will be cheaper now, because that
may not lead to the most energy-
efficient solution.
Higgins agreed that the price tag
on the new light fixtures was a big
concern to campus groups and city
officials.
We have to find a balance between
good lighting in the area and the
best interests of the neighborhood,
Higgins said. But so far the benefits
overwhelmingly outweigh the cost.

The movie trailer opens with
a soaking wet labrador emerging
triumphant from a pool of water.
Next, we see a panting terrier,
then a veritable pack of huskies.
A few moments later, the owners
of these dogs begin to speak. I
need this dog, one woman says
as images of a swimming canine
flash before our eyes. Then cold,
hard numbers replace the sweet
testimonials:
8,000,000 dogs
enter shel-
ters each year.
More than
half are eutha-
nized.
Dan Rohrer
and Kasey
Babbitt, 2008
graduates, and
Grant Babbitt,
Lenexa senior, set out to tell the
story of these shelter animals in
what began as a project in a doc-
umentary film class. Now, their
documentary, The Littlest Ones:
A Dogumentary is winning
awards at film festivals across the
country. The film looks at the
effects of the recession on animal
shelters and the work of no kill
groups in the community.
Siblings Grant and Kasey
dedicated the film to two of
their childhood dogs, Abby
and Scooter, whom they saved
just days before they were to be
euthanized.
I have more compassion for
dogs than for humans, Kasey
said. We put it together and fol-
lowed through with it because
we care.
Grant said the assignment
was to make a five-minute
documentary for a broadcast
documentary workshop. The
students originally planned
to follow the story of a dog,
beginning with its pick-up by
animal control. When they went
to the Humane Society, however,
the trio discovered that the
recession had resulted in a 15
percent increase in the number
of animals that were dropped off
at the shelter. Kasey
said the focus of the
documentary shifted
to programs that exist
in the area that didnt
use euthanasia.
The three students
ended up with 13
interviews and got
more than 16 hours
of footage, which
they consolidated
into a 15-minute documentary.
The film looks at the Lawrence
Humane Society and Safe Harbor
Prison Dogs Program based in
Lansing, both of
which are no-kill
organi zat i ons.
Safe Harbor res-
cues dogs from
puppy mills and
kill shelters.
The dogs then
go to inmates
at the Lansing
Cor r e c t i ona l
Facility who
work to train the dogs.
Rohrer interviewed some of
the inmates involved with the
program. The inmates talked
about how the emotional ties to
the animals help them not only
pass the time, but provide happi-
ness and purpose.
They are people who are giv-
ing a second chance and are get-
ting a second chance, Rohrer
said.
Grant said that the help and
direction provided by their
instructor, Madison Davis Lacy,
associate professor of film and
media studies, was essential in
putting the film together.
He doesnt sugar coat any-
thing, Grant said. If we had foot-
age that was crappy, he told us.
Seven film festivals have
broadcasted the film, produced
under the Babbitts label Naked
Bunny Productions . The film
has won numerous awards. It was
the featured film at the REEL
Dog Film Festival in Los Angeles,
where the film also won the best
overall film. It was selected as the
best documentary at the Cavalier
Film Festival and the Little Apple
Film Festival, and was an offi-
cial selection at the Harvest of
Arts Film Festival
and Griffon inter-
national Film
Festival. It also
won the Judges
Choice award
at the Kansas-
Missouri Short
Film Festival.
The film will
be shown next at
the Tallgrass Film
Festival Oct. 23-25 in Wichita.
Grant said they would submit
the film into festivals around the
United States for another year.
He said he hoped to get enough
funding to turn it into a full-
length documentary.
We just want to take it so as
many people as possible can see
it, he said.

LOS ANGELES Matt Kemp
hit a two-run homer off Chris
Carpenter and middle reliever
Jeff Weaver escaped a bases-load-
ed jam, helping the Los Angeles
Dodgers take a 5-2 lead over the
St. Louis Cardinals through six
innings Wednesday night in Game
1 of their NL playoff opener.
Dodgers starter Randy Wolf,
pitching in the playoffs for the first
time in his 11-year career and fac-
ing a lineup that batted .234 against
lefties this year, lasted only 3 2-3
innings after his teammates staked
him to a 3-1 lead.
Skip Schumaker hit an RBI dou-
ble in the fourth that trimmed the
Dodgers' lead to 3-2. After Wolf hit
Matt Holliday with a pitch to load
the bases, manager Joe Torre made
a change.
Weaver relieved and Ryan
Ludwick pulled a drive into the
right-field corner that barely land-
ed foul. Ludwick then hit a bouncer
back to Weaver, who threw to first
to end the inning.
Carpenter, the NL ERA leader
while going 17-4, went five innings
and allowed four runs and nine
hits. He escaped a bases-loaded
situation in the fourth when he
got Casey Blake to line out to right
field.
Rafael Furcal extended Los
Angeles' lead to 4-2 in the fifth
with a sacrifice fly.
Los Angeles loaded the bases
again in the sixth, and Kyle
McClellan hit Russell Martin in the
ribs to force in Andre Ethier with
the Dodgers' fifth run. Pinch-hitter
Jim Thome struck out with the
bases loaded, ending the inning.
The Dodgers and Cardinals
combined to strand 23 runners
over the first six innings, setting a
division series record.
St. Louis loaded the bases with
no outs in the first. But Wolf man-
aged to allow only one run, and
Kemp quickly put Los Angeles
ahead.
The Dodgers needed only three
pitches, in fact, to take the lead.
Furcal led off with a single and
Kemp drove Carpenter's next
offering to right center for his first
career postseason homer.
Carpenter allowed a pair of
two-out singles before striking out
Ronnie Belliard. The Cardinals ace
was 2-0 against the NL West cham-
pions this season.
St. Louis went 5-2 against the
Dodgers this season and outscored
them 31-19. The Cardinals were
back in the playoffs for the first
time since winning the 2006 World
Series.
sports 8A THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2009
early in the second set, but Kansas
scored four in a row and took the
lead at 15-14.
Nebraska regrouped taking the
lead right back and held it to the
end as Kansas lost the set 20-25.
Nebraska used a 7-1 run to take
an early lead, but Kansas scored
fve points in a row itself and tied
the set up 11-11.
Kansas then took its biggest lead
of the match at 18-15, but Nebras-
ka came back with three points in
a row and ultimately Kansas lost
the set 21-25.
Kansas will return to the court
at home at 6:30 p.m. this Saturday
to face No. 14 Iowa State.

We talk about who theyve
played and whether they won or
lost, Stuckey said. And thats
about it. We dont get too much
into whos play-
ing what. I mean,
I couldnt tell you
anybodys record
now.
With the Big
12 season freshly
under way, the
importance of
wins and losses
is magnified even
more. A loss now
not only affects a teams record,
but can also alter a teams chances
of capturing a conference title.
The Jayhawks have said all sea-
son thats one of their goals, like
other teams. With that in mind,
Thornton uses opponents games
to track personnel or tendencies
in the same man-
ner as a scout.
You get to see
the things they
do, the things
they do against
other opponents,
Thornton said.
You get the over-
all feel of how
they play the
game and the different schemes
theyre going to try and do.
Today, Mangino will welcome
family members visiting from the
east. Hell be surrounded by rela-
tives and little nieces and nephews
he affectionately referred to as
rugrats.
Even with what will be a pre-
sumably full and chaotic house,
Mangino said hell at least
attempt to capture portions of the
Missouri-Nebraska game.
Ill watch 20 plays
and Ill be like this
trying to hear the
television, Mangino
said, cupping one
hand around his ear.
But Ill just wait
until I get the copy
from the conference.
Ill try to watch it. It
will be a great game.
It will also be an
important game.
Before the season, many nation-
al pundits seemed split on the win-
ner of the Big 12 North: Some had
Kansas, others had Nebraska. And
while nothing has even remotely
been decided yet, Missouri has
proven early that this could very
well be a three-team
race.
But as Mangino
and his players have
uttered before, none
of that, at least out-
wardly, matters to
the Jayhawks.
Im not look-
ing at the big pic-
ture of the race right
now, Mangino said. The way we
handle things is we have to take
care of the business at hand. A
by-product of having a great sea-
son in the North for us is paying
attention to each opponent as they
come.

With no game last Saturday,
senior wide receiver Kerry Meier
had an opportunity to get away
from football for at least a few
days. He went home to Pittsburg,
to hang out with his brother
Dylan.
However, he still ended up
watching the game he plays nearly
every other day of the season.
I try to get away from it, but it
seems I found the controller in my
hand turning football games on,
Meier said. Its just something
you dont get away from.
Even though they spend the
majority of their time on the field;
players spent their break still
focused on the game. The differ-
ence: watching playmakers from a
couch instead of the sidelines.
Junior linebacker Justin
Springer watched a lot of games
Saturday, including Notre Dame
vs. Washington, Oklahoma
vs. Miami (Fla.) and UTEP vs.
Houston. Justins brother Jeremy
plays for UTEP.
However, Springer said that the
light weekend was a good reward
for the teams hard work in prac-
tice. He said the team had tough
practices last week with a lot of
conditioning, but it wasnt all bad.
We made a lot of progress in
all areas, Springer said.
Springer and Meier said while
that the bye week was nice, its not
what they love to do.
I enjoy a little time home,
Springer said. But at the same
time, you need to get back on the
field and start the Big 12 off.
Sophomore cornerback
Daymond Patterson had a similar
day to Meier and Springer.
I just took advantage of my
Saturday, sat back, watched the
games and enjoyed myself,
Patterson said.
But the question arises: are
these Division I student athletes
still able to watch the game as fans,
or do they find themselves analyz-
ing every single snap?
Its coming to a conclusion that
Im not just watching for the fun
of it, Meier said. Its more figur-
ing out what the defense is doing
and what coverages they are play-
ing.
But for senior safety Darrell
Stuckey, the television angles dont
allow anyone to analyze too much.
He likes to watch other teams
games just for fun.
But youre naturally going
to analyze stuff and do different
things, Stuckey said.
At the same time, you want to
minimize that.

I
have never been confused
with and perhaps never will
be a baseball purist.
Sure, baseball and I have flirted
a few times. A friendly smile here,
a wink there. In the batting cages,
however, I could never produce
the long ball and so our love was
ultimately fleeting.
Dont mistake this as an affront
to the sport by any stretch.
Camden Yards in Baltimore, and
the colossal crab cake sandwiches
outside,* provide an experience
not soon forgotten.
*By the way, you can bring
these in with you. Maryland. Crab.
Cakes.
Kansas Citys own Negro League
Baseball Museum is one of my
favorite places on earth. Likewise,
Joe Posnanskis The Soul of
Baseball, in which he spends
time touring the nation with Buck
ONeil as the local legend neared
the end of his life, is the written
word at its finest.
But after 2003, the last time I
attended a Royals game with the
thought of them returning to the
playoffs, I began to fall out of
like with the sport. Having a sec-
ond home in Minnesota helped,
despite the confusion of having
my two teams in the same divi-
sion.
But it just wasnt the same. I
would get excited in the spring,
again around the All-Star break
and the playoffs but that was about
it and even that lessened in the
last two years.
After a tremendous start by
the Royals and (presumptive/
deserving) Cy Young winner Zack
Greinke grew depressing, I began
to care much more about other
things.
Id catch a Greinke start here
and there, track the Twins in the
standings but soon after go days,
weeks (!) without knowing who
was slotted where in the stand-
ings.
Until last week.
Tuesday evening saw one of the
wildest, richest, pulse-pounding,
off-the-wall games available for
consumption in ages.
I fell back in like with the
sport Tuesday evening when the
Twins and (presumptive/deserv-
ing) American League MVP Joe
Mauer powered back to answer
an early 3-0 deficit to the Detroit
Tigers, fell behind again and found
themselves tied after nine innings.
Tied. Again.
At the end of the 163rd game of
the season, it still wasnt decided.
Behind again in the bottom of
the 10th, the Twins scored to stay
in it and when Nick Punto lined
out to left, Alex Casilla sprinted to
home and...was out.
But soon after, one lone sports
fan sat in a quiet Lawrence laun-
dromat as a tiny old television
set displayed a Metrodome whose
years were numbered erupt vio-
lently one more time when the
winning run came home.
For one fan on the brink, there
was a lot to like about baseball that
night. And a lot more to love.

COLUMBIA, Mo. No one in
the country has scored less than
whoever is playing Nebraska in a
given week.
No one has cared less, it seems,
than Cornhuskers coach Bo
Pelini.
Thats probably because No.
21 Nebraska (3-1) has shut down
three Sun Belt teams and Virginia
Techs inconsistent attack, holding
them all to a total of 28 points
through four games.
Im not satisfied with where we
are as a defense, Pelini said. We
have a long way to go yet.
Blaine Gabbert and No. 24
Missouri seem likely to fare bet-
ter against the nations top scoring
defense when the Tigers host their
first Thursday night game in 17
years.
The Tigers quarterback has
thrown for 1,161 yards and 11 TDs
without an interception this
year, also against a soft schedule,
though Missouri did play a Big
Ten team, beating Illinois 37-9 in
the opener.
The Big 12 opener for both
teams will provide each a measur-
ing stick for the rest of the season.
Gabbert, a sophomore who
backed up Chase Daniel last year,
leads the Big 12 in passing effi-
ciency.
Hell be trying to lead Missouri
(4-0) to its fourth straight 5-0 start
against a bitter rival though one
for whom the tables have turned
a bit.
The Huskers won 24 straight in
the series before Missouri broke
that streak with a 41-24 home
win in 2003, the first of three
straight in Columbia. The Tigers
won in Lincoln last year, and are
aiming for their first three-game
streak over Nebraska since the
late 1960s.

Senior Gregory excited
for chance to compete
MANHATTAN Through all
those years of watching some-
one else get the glory, Grant
Gregory never lost confdence,
keeping the belief he was good
enough to play quarterback at
a BCS school.
Problem was, he was run-
ning out of time.
Just two weeks ago, Gregory
was still the backup at Kansas
State, trying to keep a positive
attitude. The clock was wind-
ing down on his career and he
knew it.
Finally, it came.
A surprise starter against
Iowa State on Saturday, Grego-
ry threw for 206 yards and two
touchdowns in a 24-23 win at
Arrowhead Stadium, earning
Big 12 ofensive player of the
week honor.
Gregory still doesnt know
whether hell start this weekend
against Texas Tech or any
other time this season, for that
matter but at least he knows
he can play on the big stage.
Snyder hasnt decided
whether Gregory will start
against Texas Tech or if hell give
Cofman another try. No matter
what happens, Gregory wont
get discouraged. He got his
chance and proved himself. Be-
sides, hes still playing football.

Thursdays
no longer
for 'little'
conferences
By Alex Beecher
abeecher@kansan.com
O
nce upon a time, Thursday
nights were reserved for
mid-level MAC or Mountain
West showcase games. Every once in
a while, a halfway decent Pac 10 may
have stopped by. But then those non-
BCS conferences started to get better.
And with that improvement, the once
desolate Thursday night slot began to
climb in prestige. No longer reserved
for also-rans and fringe bowl teams,
BCS busters like Boise State began
to make more frequent appearances.
Following on their tail, more teams
from more power conferences started
to see the appeal in a pre-weekend
spotlight game.
Now, once upon a time has given
way to the present time. And in the
present, tonight offers a Big 12 game
bigger than any taking place on
Saturday, as Nebraska visits Missouri.
Both teams find themselves in the
Top 25 Nebraska at No. 21, and
Missouri at No. 24. Both have looked
much better than might have been
expected coming into the season.
Nebraska returned a lot of players,
but did lose their starting quarter-
back. No matter. The Cornhuskers
stand at 3-1, their only loss being a
nail-biter at Virginia Tech.
Missouris success has been more
surprising. The Tigers graduated
their offensive line and the most
statistically successful quarterback in
program history. Jeremy Maclin, one
of college footballs premier playmak-
ers, took his ample skills to the NFL.
That, combined with an embarrass-
ingly sloppy spring game perfor-
mance, left many in Columbia tossing
around the phrase rebuilding year.
So far, the supposed rebuilding looks
ahead of schedule. Blaine Gabbert
has stepped into Chase Daniels shoes
and looks quite comfortable in them.
Behind him, the Missouri offense
has hummed along with the fluidity
Tiger fans have come to expect. Most
importantly, the team is 4-0.
To Jayhawk fans, thats all just a bit
tangential to the real point: Missouri
and Nebraska are the biggest obstacles
to Kansas winning the Big 12 North
this season.
Sure, Kansas has a more experi-
enced team than either Nebraska
or Missouri especially on the
offensive side of the ball, specifically,
at quarterback. The Jayhawks also
have the luxury of playing Nebraska
at home, and Missouri at neutral
Arrowhead Stadium.
But the schedule isnt universally
kind to the Jayhawks. Kansas has to
play Oklahoma and Texas, a chal-
lenge which the Tigers and Huskers
dont face this season. Consider the
fact that Sam Bradford will likely be a
healthy participant when Oklahoma
visits Lawrence, and that Kansas has
to travel to Austin, and the odds of
Kansas running the table in confer-
ence play dont look so good. This
illuminates the greater meaning for
tonights game: Either Nebraska or
Missouri will start Big 12 play 0-1.
Now thats hardly a revelatory truth,
but its an important one nonetheless.
That one loss could be the difference
between Kansas finally earning a trip
to the Big 12 title game in the sea-
son where things seem best aligned for
it to do so and a continued chorus
of maybe next year.

Who will win the North?
Kansas faces tough competition
in race for conference title
By JAySON JeNKS
jjenks@kansan.com
Coach Mark Mangino has never been
one to dangle a prediction in front of
the media. Hes never been a fan of fore-
casting or looking a few games down
the schedule, either.
Thats not his style, and hell tell you
so in a handful of ways if the topic
surfaces.
In responding to a similarly-themed
question, Mangino didnt stray from
that trend. But his answer provided a
noteworthy summation of the upcom-
ing Big 12 North title chase.
Its going to be a competitive race,
Mangino said. I can tell you that.
A nationally televised showdown
between Top-25 teams Nebraska and
Missouri tonight marks the first leg of
an eight-game conference season. And
that game is the first of many filled with
postseason implications.
The winner has an early one-up in
what is expected to be a tightly-contest-
ed Big 12 North race. The loser, mean-
while, has already dug its own hole.
Its something most Kansas players
said theyll keep an eye on.
Of course were going to watch the
Missouri-Nebraska game to see what
happens, sophomore cornerback
Daymond Patterson said. We know
that plays a factor in to how our season
goes and who you have to beat.
The level to which players follow con-
ference opponents, though, varies greatly.
For instance, senior
safety Justin Thornton,
who grew up in St.
Joseph, Mo., attempts
to closely follow
teams in the Big 12.
If Thornton sees a
conference game on
TV, hell watch it.
Me, personally, I
try to stay up on what
all the other teams are
doing, especially when
they start playing each
other, Thornton said.
Its definitely something
you have to stay up on.
Senior safety Darrell
Stuckey, who is paired with
Thornton in the secondary, has a
slightly different take. Stuckey rarely,
if at all, follows teams via television.
Instead, reverberating one of
Manginos previous statements, Stuckey
said the most important aspect of win-
ning a conference championship is
avoiding outside influences, such as
the highs and lows experienced by
opponents.

Morris involved in accident using Taylor's car
By cOrey ThiBOdeAux
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Sophomore center Markief
Morris was involved in an ac-
cident while driving teammate
sophomore guard Tyshawn Tay-
lors car on Sept. 13, according to
police reports. Morris was issued
a citation for an improper lane
change. Tere were no injuries.
Previous reports said the 1997
Chevy Tahoe was former Kansas
basketball player Scot Pollards.
Tree passengers, including Mor-
ris, were in
that car dur-
ing the inci-
dent.
Te acci-
dent occurred
at 17th and
Te n n e s s e e
Streets with
one other car,
a 2004 Pon-
tiac Grand Am. A 23-year-old
Buhler woman drove the Pontiac
with one other passenger.
Morris said he was driving
southbound on Tennessee Street,
was preparing to turn lef on 17th
St. and did not see a car when he
attempted to change lanes. He
said when he tried to switch lanes
the bumper of his car struck the
rear passenger door of the other
car.
Te reporting ofcer said he
did not see any damages to Mor-
ris' vehicle.
Te Chevy Tahoe used to be-
long to Pollard, but was later sold
to Taylor. Pollard recently moved
to Lawrence afer calling it quits
in the NBA.
If the car still belonged to Pol-
lard, the NCAA would have the
grounds to consider it an extra
beneft given to Morris for letting
him drive.
Jim Marchiony, associate ath-
letics director, said Morris use of
his teammates car was legal. In
the police report, the car is fled
under Pollard, but Marchiony
does not know why.
Te compliance ofce moni-
tored the sale, so it complied with
NCAA rules, he said.

Jayhawks defeated again by Cornhuskers
By ZAch GeTZ
zgetz@kansan.com
Te Kansas volleyball team was
unable to end its winless streak
Wednesday against the Nebras-
ka Cornhuskers. Kansas is now
0-83-1 all time against Nebraska
in volleyball.
Kansas fell to 9-6 (2-4) and
Nebraska improved to 11-4 (4-
2) as Kansas was swept by Ne-
braska 3-0 for the 65th time in 84
matches. Te loss means Kansas
also doesnt have a conference
road victory this season.
Sophomore outside hitter Alli-
son Mayfeld racked up her fourth
career double-double, tallying 13
kills and 12 digs and sophomore
setter Nicole Tate also had a dou-
ble-double on the night.
Junior outside hitter Karina
Garlington continued to struggle
as she only recorded four kills
while adding fve errors in the
frst two sets, but bounced back
with four kills and zero errors in
the third set.
Kansas played very closely to
Nebraska for most of the sets,
but then Nebraska turned up the
intensity Coach Ray Bechard
said. Bechard also said Kansas
needs to continue to work on its
end game and execution.
Tere was a time tonight
where I thought that we were
waiting for something to happen
instead of making something
happen, Bechard said. When it
comes time to make a diference
at the end of the game, we need a
little better execution.
Mayfeld said that whenever
Kansas would make a run, Ne-
braska always had an answer to
stife any momentum Kansas
would gain.
We were in it, then they would
get just a couple of good plays,
and they would get some of the
momentum back, Mayfeld said.
Its hard to get the momentum
back when they have the crowd
behind them.
Kansas played in front of more
than 4,000 fans and Nebraska vol-
leyball had its 126th consecutive
sellout, which is an NCAA wom-
ens sports record. Te crowd was
a joy to play for, and appreciates
good volleyball, Garlington said.
On big rallies, regardless
of where the point ends, they
are cheering, Garlington said.
Tere not the type of crowd that
heckles or distracts you. Tey just
want to see a good match.
Te frst set started out back
and forth, but afer it was tied
14-14 Nebraska built a lead and
Kansas lost the set 20-25.
