The University of Texas provided
an example for the nations colleges
to review emergency response sys-
tems. The Texas administrations
response helped inform students
and faculty that a gunman was on
the campus.
It looked like a textbook exam-
ple of an outstanding response,
said Marlesa Roney, vice provost of
student success.
On Tuesday, Colton Tooley, a
19-year-old sophomore at the
University of Texas, carried an
AK-47 with him across his campus
and fired several times. Witnesses
said Tooley did not appear to be fir-
ing at anyone. Police chased Tooley
into the campus largest library,
where he shot himself.
Witnesses first saw Tooley
walking and shooting at 8:10 a.m.
University of Texas administrators
put the university on lockdown and
posted emergency alerts through
text messages, public address
speakers and the Web at 8:23 a.m.
Emergency sirens sounded at 8:30
a.m., 20 minutes before Tooley took
his own life. Students, faculty and
staff were permitted to leave cam-
pus at noon, with many receiving
notifications by phone.
Campus police, city police and
a SWAT team responded to the
scene in Austin.
Sergeant Matt
Saran of the
Lawrence Police
De p a r t me nt
said a similar
response could
be expected at
the University
of Kansas.
C o l l e g e s
n a t i o n w i d e
increased their
mobile notifi-
cation systems
in light of the 2007 shooting at
Virginia Tech in which 32 people
were killed. More than two hours
passed before students were for-
mally told of the shooter on cam-
pus.
Less than a month after the
Virginia Tech shooting, the
University announced plans to
include text messaging in its noti-
fication process.
On April 30 of this year, text
messages informed students of a
search for an armed suspect in a
campus residence hall. The build-
ing was locked down and those
outside were instructed to find a
safe place to stay put.
The Universitys Twitter account
worked to dispel rumors as
Lawrence police were called in for
assistance.
The McCollum Hall search
put the Universitys emergency
response capabilities on display for
public review.
Saran said the University request-
ed assistance from Lawrence Police
in April. The state highway patrol,
nearby police departments and
SWAT personnel are also available
if needed, he said.
Cherae Clark, a junior from
Kansas City, Mo., has worked the
front desk and has been a resi-
dent assistant at McCollum for two
years. The Universitys response
was surprisingly quick that day,
she said.
Clark said she didnt subscribe
to text message alerts but would
consider it.
I dont know how often they
send the alerts, but if they sent
something every hour it would
probably be more of a hassle than a
benefit, Clark said.
The last text message alert sent
out was Aug.
26 to inform
students of
the temporary
evacuation of
Haworth Hall
because of
a hazardous
materials spill.
A May 2008
survey by the
Mi d we s t e r n
H i g h e r
E d u c a t i o n
Compact found
that before the Virginia Tech shoot-
ing, 5 percent of responding colleges
said mobile phones were involved
in emergency notifications. Of
those that said they did not use text
message alerts, 75 percent either
implemented text alerts or planned
to after the shooting.
According to Roney, 17,794 KU
students have provided informa-
tion to receive emergency text mes-
sages as of Sept. 22. That num-
ber accounts for all KU campuses.
So far, 15,141 Lawrence campus
students have signed up about
57 percent of the 26,266 students
who attend classes on the Lawrence
campus.
Jill Jess, associate director for
news and media relations, urged
students to sign up for the service
at alert.ku.edu and to not take the
messages lightly.
Please dont get to the point
where youre not looking at them,
because we send them out for a
reason, Jess said. And were not
going to spam you.

You are driving along a road
near the southern borderlands of
the United States. An Arizona
police officer pulls you over and
asks for identification but you
forgot your drivers license. Under
Arizona law SB 1070, if the officer
has reason to believe youre an
illegal immigrant, youre in big
trouble. Some worry a similar law
may soon come to Kansas.
SUA hosted an immigration
forum at the Kansas Union last
night to discuss various topics
relating to immigration in the
United States. The forum was espe-
cially concerned with Arizonas
SB 1070, which essentially allows
police forces in Arizona to ask
for citizens documentation at any
time, at the police officers discre-
tion.
In the event of a shooter or threat of
one, the UnIversIty recommends:
1. Maintain awareness of the situation and environ-
ment around you; be prepared to take appropriate
action.
2. Evacuate the area if you know that it is safe to do so.
3. If a threat presents itself, seek cover and barricade
yourself (with others if possible) by placing as much
material between you and the threat. Remain quiet
and turn of lights.
4. As soon as it is safe to do so, notify authorities by
calling 911 and provide as much information as pos-
sible.
5. Do not approach emergency responders, let them
come to you. Keep your hands visible.
6. Remain under cover until the threat is passed or you
have been advised by law enforcement that it is safe
to exit.
7. Activate cell phones to receive campus emergency
text message notifcation.

Ever since Julie Schiller got a
taste of the different worlds outside
the United States, she has yearned
for that exotic flavor again.
Schiller, a freshman from
Leavenworth, said her traveling
experiences have made her desire
to study abroad that much stronger.
Unfortunately, because of the hour
requirements Schiller faces as a
pre-nursing undergrad, significant
time abroad may not become a
reality.
I just wouldnt have enough
time to do a semester because I
have to get so many hours down,
Schiller said.
Schiller is not alone in her wish
for flexibility, and the University
administration has recognized the
need for students to have more
options in terms of their courses
and the curriculum requirements.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-
Little gave Jeffrey Vitter, provost
and executive vice chancellor, the
job of coming up with a strategic
plan of action plan to address those
concerns.
Vitter and Mabel Rice, professor
in the Speech-Language & Hearing
department, are chairs of the
steering committee that will put the
plan together.
Vitter said the plan, which is
more of a strategy than a report,
will enable the administration to
accomplish some concrete goals and
follow up some of the initial work of
the task forces from last year. He said
Initiative 2015, the document from
2008 under then-Chancellor Robert
E. Hemenway, didnt particularly
lead to any programs and had a lot
of long term goals.
Rice said the committee is about
moving forward and trying to find
a plan that everyone is comfortable
with.
Were trying to fit the process
into the time that we live in which
is a time of transparency, a time
of trust, a time of many different
points of view on how to get things
moving in the best possible way,
Rice said.
The committee is going to look
at the learning area in particular
and review the curriculum in
order to redo the general education
requirements to allow for more
flexibility to take advantage of some
of the Universitys programs.
Almost two-thirds of the
Universitys curriculum consists of
general education requirements.
That is far too weighty and
doesnt give students much
flexibility, Vitter said. We want to
allow for a full range of experience
including out of the classroom
like study abroad, internships and
research.
The administration is about to
send out the invitations to serve
on the steering committee. It will
consist of faculty, staff, alumni and
some external participants as well
as students.
From the steering committee,
smaller, more focused work groups
will be formed. Each of those work
groups will produce the detailed
recommendations that will be
incorporated by the steering
committee into the action plan.
The meetings will be a series of
face to face discussions. The first
one, which will take place on Oct.
20, will include a panel of eight to ten
faculty members who, Vitter said,
have a history of connecting and
building synergies, an underlying
theme of the committee.
The best way to turn a good
undergraduate education into
a great one is to get a student
involved in research and that links
to synergies with foreign cultures
and thats where study abroad is
critical, Vitter said.
The committee will meet three
times and then have a joint meeting
with the three work groups, with a
kick-off by Chancellor Gray-Little,
on Nov. 8.
Unfortunately for Schiller,
changing a curriculum is a long-
term process that takes multiple
years, but the administration hopes
to have a pilot program in two years
which isnt soon enough for her.
I just wish there more options
for me now, Schiller said.

Lawrence bookworms, prepare.
The Lawrence Public Library, 707
Vermont St., kicks off its semi-
annual sale today, with more than
125,000 items to choose from.
They have all different types
of books ranging from childrens
books, fiction, romance, textbooks,
biographies, photography
theres something for everybody,
said Rachel Allen, a graduate stu-
dent from Hutchinson. Allen has
attended the sale four times and
volunteered twice.
The sales selection consists of
old and damaged books discharged
from the library, along with com-
munity donations.
This isnt a typical sale, however;
each day, the items get cheaper.
Hardback books start at $1.50,
paperbacks 75 cents and movies
$2. After the first few days, there
is a $7 bag night, where shop-
pers can cram a brown paper bag
full and take it home for just $7.
The sale continues with a $5 bag
night and ends with two give-away
nights, where patrons can take
home items for free.
The money the sale raises
almost $35,000-40,000 twice a year
goes toward library improve-
ments and new books.
Although a few library staff
members coordinate the sale, vol-
unteers play a main role in run-
ning it.
Ruth Dewitt, coordinator of
Friends of the Lawrence Public
Library, is overseeing this falls
sale. Dewitt said the sale benefited
Lawrence in a variety of ways.
Its a great community event,
fun atmosphere and gets books
into the hands of people in the
community, and promotes our
goal of literacy, she said.
Shoppers should be prepared
to search for diamonds in the
rough, though, as the books are
only loosely organized.
It gets really crowded in the
garage because there are so many
people and so many shelves of
books, Allen said. Without being
organized by type its hard to find
anything specific. Your best bet is
to find older classics.
Some of these older classics
offer buyers a perspective that cant
be found in modern writing. Allen
said she once found some books
that were written during the Cold
War.
Its interesting to look back on
what was going on at the time,
what they predicted and compare
it to what actually happened, she
said.
The sale will be open today from
5 to 9 p.m. and continues through
Oct. 10. Dewitt said the library
could always use volunteers and
encouraged anyone with free time
to come to the library and work.

Man sentenced to
jail during holidays
LIVINGSTON, Mont. A judge
running for the state Supreme
Court has given a man accused of
assaulting a woman a sentence
with an unusual twist. District Court
Judge Nels Swandal gave Daniel
Martz a 10-year suspended sen-
tence on Monday for a May 2009
attack in which Martz allegedly
choked and hit a woman, and then
tried to have her change her story.
Swandal also ordered Martz to
report to jail each Dec. 15 through
Jan. 1 for the next fve years, ac-
cording to the Livingston Enter-
prise.
Swandal said incarcerating Martz
around the holidays will keep him
out of trouble.
Park County Attorney Brett Lin-
neweber said Martzs arrest record
shows he has gotten into trouble
before during holidays.
Swandal is running against
Helena attorney Beth Baker to fll

TORONTO _ Davis
Guggenheim is no doctor, but he
knows the prescription for build-
ing a great school.
Its really simple, said
Guggenheim, director of Waiting
for Superman.
Successful schools all share
the same ingredients, he said.
Things like longer school days,
high expectations and account-
ability.
And, added producer Lesley
Chilcott, they can fire bad teach-
ers.
But Fuller, the director for the
Institute for the Transformation of
Learning at Marquette University,
knows the strangled sound of
change falling on tone-deaf ears.
When he was the Milwaukee
Public Schools superintendent,
Fuller actually did think he could
fix the system, he said with a rue-
ful laugh.
Very few of us go in there
thinking, Hell, I cant do anything
here. You go in thinking you can,
if not fix things, make them mark-
edly better.
But, he said in a separate inter-
view, I barely made a dent in the
larger problem during his tenure.
The documentary Waiting for
Superman is about this larger
problem what Chilcott called
the full-blown crisis in public
education and how to fix it.
In the film, Fuller describes
something called the dance of
the lemons, which Chilcott said
was part of a whole vernacu-
lar, like rubber room or turkey
trot that is used to describe pass-
ing bad teachers from one school
to the next. In the film, Fuller
also discusses being unable to fire
teachers for what he described in
an interview as grievous stuff,
including putting a childs head in
a soiled toilet.
Waiting for Superman is not
anti-teacher, the filmmakers said.
Teaching is one of the most
important jobs in the world,
Guggenheim said. Teachers need
to be recruited, supported, evalu-
ated and rewarded.
But the film describes teachers
unions as impediments to reform
because of their resistance to merit
pay, teacher standards and changes
in tenure.
Guggenheim said hearing from
a social activist like Fuller that
unions arent on the right side
of reform is like Nixon going to
China.
If someone like him is telling
us this, Guggenheim said, it must
be true.
While Waiting for Superman
has its share of charts and statis-
tics, it also humanizes the policy
debate by following a group of
bright and ambitious students
whose chances of getting a good
education depend on winning a
lottery at a specialty school with
enrollment limits.
And Guggenheim said sug-
gestions that politicians continue
pouring money into a broken
system is not the answer.
And we have to remove what-
ever impediments there are to cre-
ate great schools. Because if all
people have are options to go to
mediocre schools, then thats an
illusion.
Guggenheim said he went to
private schools as a child because
his mother told him the schools in
Washington, D.C., were broken.
Now, 40 years later, I live in
L.A. and Im packing my kids off
to private school and doing what
my parents did: taking care of my
kids.
Star Wars to be
converted to 3-D
LoS AnGELES _ George Lucas
watched the massive success of
Avatar and Alice in Wonder-
land in the 3-D format and
decided it was time for a return
of the Jedi.
Star Wars Episode I: The
Phantom Menace will return
to theaters in 3-D in 2012 and
will be followed by the fve
other live-action movies set a
long time ago in a galaxy far,
far away.
Lucas Industrial Light &
Magic special-efects shop is
overseeing the 3-D conversion.
20th century Fox will release
them.
Lucas has said that the
technological strides of James
camerons Avatar persuaded
him to reconsider his longtime
disdain for 3-D.
ILM visual efects supervi-
sor John knoll said he doesnt
intend to put out a sub-par 3-D
conversion.
Getting good results on a
stereo conversion is a matter of
taking the time and getting it
right, knoll said in a statement.
It takes a critical and artistic
eye along with an incredible at-
tention to detail to be success-
ful. It is not something that you
can rush if you want to expect
good results. For Star Wars
we will take our time, apply-
ing everything we know both
aesthetically and technically to
bring audiences a fantastic new
Star Wars experience.

Te Montana GOP and the
Ugandan Parliament arent
usually known for seeing eye-
to-eye on many policy ideas,
but there is at least one instance
where their priorities are
shockingly in line: Tey would
both make homosexuality a
crime.
Te situation in Uganda
has been on the radar for
almost a year. Te Ugandan
Anti-Homosexuality Bill was
introduced last October by a
member of its parliament, David
Bahati. Due to wide-ranging
international pressure, the bills
more draconian measures have
been blunted, but it would still
call for the execution of gays
and lesbians who had sex while
HIV positive, or who practiced
homosexual acts more than once.
Te bill has yet to go to vote.
Te Montanan side of the
story came to light a little more
than a week ago. Te Associated
Press reported that, in June, the
Montana GOP adopted a party
platform that included this
statement: We support the clear
will of the people of Montana
expressed by legislation to keep
homosexual acts illegal.
Te plank itself is a vestigial
part of policy lef over from
1997, when the state Supreme
Court overturned a law that had
made homosexual acts illegal.
Its both amazing and troubling
that the policy has persisted for
so long.
As with any embarrassing
revelation, members of the
Montana GOP are split. Some
are reacting with incredulous
surprise, like Republican state
Sen. John Brueggeman, who said,
I looked at that and said, Youve
got to be kidding me. He
continued, Should it get taken
out? Absolutely. Does anybody
think we should be arresting
homosexual people? If you take
that stand, you really probably
shouldnt be in the Republican
Party.
On the other side, some
Montana Republicans are tacitly
backing the plan, yet with
hedged answers all the same.
Tere had been at the time,
and still is, a substantial portion
of Republican legislators that
believe it is more important for
the Legislature to make the law
instead of the Supreme Court,
said Montana GOP Executive
Director Bowen Greenwood.
If only there were two
Brueggemans out there for every
Greenwood. While Brueggeman
unfinchingly calls an unjust
measure exactly what it is, he
continues on to explain how
intellectually dishonest it is, in
light of other Republican values.
On the other hand, Greenwood
seems to want to cover his ears
and yell, Activist judges! all the
while propping up the abhorrent
idea.
Its telling that the plank
remained a part of the platform
for 13 years. Greenwood states
that no one has taken action
to remove it, and in fact, it has
never come up for discussion.
Legally speaking, the measure
is a moot point. Constitutional
specialist Jack Tuholske states
that due to the previously
mentioned Supreme Court
ruling, [Its against] the
fundamental law of the land and
the Legislature cant override the
Constitution. It might express
their view, but as far as a legal
reality, its a hollow view and cant
come to pass.
As of right now, the plank is
still a part of the ofcial platform.
While it does not advocate
for the same cruelty that the
Ugandan bill does, in essence,
both statements mean the same
thing: Homosexuals are second-
class citizens.
Te Ugandan bill has
faltered, while the Montana
GOP continues to support an
unsupportable idea. Contact
them at www.mtgop.org/contact.

From Uwire. Mike
Munzenrider for the Minnesota
Daily at the University of
Minnesota
W
hile the University of
Kansas ofers students
many scholarships,
there is always room for improve-
ment.
A proposal circulating among
the Kansas
Board of Regents
and the Kansas
legislature would
allow sales tax
money from
items purchased
on campus to
return back to
the University
to be used for
scholarships.
University
main cam-
pus enrollment is a little more than
25,000, and a conservative estimate
on the cost of books and supplies
is about $300 per student, per
semester. State sales tax is 6.3 per-
cent. Tat means about $472,500
of sales tax every semester could
be going back to students. Tat
money could really make a dif-
ference for students struggling to
make ends meet.
Students have had an especially
hard time
fnding ways
to pay for
college in
the past few
years. Not
only did the
recession
hurt the
fnances
of both
students
and their
families, but
state funding to state universities
has been cut by approximately
$100 million, or 13 percent.
To make sure our taxes are
being spent the way we want, we
have to be vocal about our posi-
tion.
All it takes is a few minutes to
write or call at least one govern-
ment ofcial. It would add up to a
lot of letters and a lot of pressure
to bring the money back home.
Te National Center for Educa-
tion Statistics reports that two
thirds of all college students have
student loan debt afer graduation,
with an average of $19,237.
With the economy still lagging,
there is a chance that many of us
are still going to be waiting tables
or working retail afer gradua-
tion, and almost $20,000 in debt
is hard to pay of when you make
minimum wage.
If there is any way to reduce that
number, students need to work on
making afordability a priority and
a reality.

A
s journalists we must
always consider our
audience.
Afer a recent class feld trip to
Haskell Indian Nations Univer-
sity, I realized that there is still
an audience that I or we are not
always aware or concerned
with: Native Americans.
Te fght isnt over for them,
especially today. Tey fght
for representation, equality and
freedom from oppression and
stereotypes.
In my diversity in the media
class, we explore racial, gender
and ethnic topics. We discuss the
portrayals and presence of difer-
ent groups in the media, as well as
the efects of those portrayals and
what they mean.
When my class went to Haskell,
we participated in a lecture/
discussion with some of Haskells
students and faculty. Our main
lecturer Rhonda LeValdo, Indian
Country reporter and journal-
ism school alumna, began the
discussion by pointing out a recent
cartoon from Te Kansan.
Te Sept. 3 cartoon included
a picture of a teacher and some
students. Te teacher and students
had feathers and long hair, along
with the dialogue And, last on the
agenda: Tonights rain dance has
been canceled due to expectations
of inclement weather.
LeValdo said that at Haskell
they didnt understand what the
point of the cartoon was. Tere-
fore she felt it necessary to ask
our class what it meant. Te class
responded with silence and pos-
sibly embarrassment. We felt we
were on the defensive end. Not
only did we not know what to say,
we also didnt understand it either.
We didnt understand the humor,
but we also didnt understand the
ofense.
A lot of people tend to tiptoe
around topics and conversations
when the subjects are racially,
religiously or ethnically diferent
from us. Unfortunately, a lot of
people ignore an audience regard-
less of the diference or need for
sensitivity.
I am not applauding or con-
demning the artist or saying he
needs to be censored for sensitiv-
ity and awareness of his topics. I
am a First Amendment supporter
but more considerations need to
be taken by authors regarding au-
dience and ethics, even students.
As students, we have the youth
and ability to change our percep-
tions to be better informed and
aware of other cultures. More
conversations and dialogues need
to take place for a better under-
standing of these issues and how
the other side feels about them.
Latoya Peterson, editor of the
blog Racialicious.com, spoke
to our class about the possible
need for a Hippocratic Oath for
journalists.
If journalists could learn to and
fully consider each story and every
angle of the story in its entirety,
there would be no need for the
oath.
Just because we have the free-
dom to say and write whatever we
want doesnt necessarily mean we
should.

While a Vancouver chiropractor was adjusting my neck, I
had a stroke. This does seem very dangerous. Nobody has ever
been able to offer me an explanation. The chiropractic industry
seems very scared of the idea of strokes being tied to its
treatment. Although the doctors didnt seem suprised at all.
Chirostroke in response to Chiropractors break the
back of honest science on Sept. 28.
This has been a trend in the letters to the editor - taking a
national, sometimes global problem, and using it as a personal
attack against Lawrence as a community. It is a true travesty to
live in a community that would allow such disrespect. Thats
unnecessary character assassination; attack the problem, not the
perpetrators. And dont play coy and act like only Lawrencians
do this; I know the author of this letter isnt that nive.

Anyone who uses hyper-rhetoric like Islamphobia is boring me.
Your lead said something about the military and free speech
but I didnt see it in the story. General Petraeus is only one man
and when it comes to constitutional rights he is still only one
man and not the spokesman for the military.

While economic conditions and
budgetary restraints have led to
fewer jobs on campus in recent
years, there is no shortage of stu-
dents looking for employment.
Last year, the total number of
student applications sent to campus
employers was 25,455. This was
significantly higher than the 1,285
on-campus jobs posted by employ-
ers, according to the University
Career Center.
Kristin Crawford, a senior from
Paola and peer career assistant at
the University Career Center, is one
of the lucky students who found an
on-campus job this semester. For
her, the challenges of balancing
work, her social life and school are
significant, but they do not out-
weigh the financial and personal
benefits of being employed.
I dont have as much free time
as Id like, but I need to support
myself and pay my bills because my
parents dont, Crawford said.
Crawford works 16 hours a
week and said she believed the
job would provide good experience
and a degree of responsibility in
the future. Her main motivation,
though, remains paying for rent
and tuition.
Crawfords situation is one famil-
iar on college campuses. According
to a U.S. Department of Education
study, 78 percent of undergraduates
worked while they were enrolled
during the 2003-2004 academic
year. Of that total, two-thirds of
working students found employ-
ment in order to be able to pay
for their tuition, fees and living
expenses.
Ann Hartley, associate director
at the University Career Center,
said because higher education was
getting more expensive, more stu-
dents needed a job to get through
college than they did in previous
generations.
More students have to work to
support themselves, Hartley said.
There is just more stuff to pay
for.
One question is whether it is pos-
sible for students to maintain both
jobs and good grades. According
to the same U.S. Department of
Education study, research has
shown that working 15 hours or
fewer per week often has a positive
effect on persistence and degree
completion. Anything above that,
however, can be detrimental.
Hartley said even part-time
jobs can often become quite over-
whelming for students with a full
course load and that preserving a
good GPA often depends on the
focus and ambition of the indi-
vidual.
Curtis Marsh, director of KU
Info, employs 23 students and
thinks that staying on campus to
work is a benefit for students, espe-
cially for those interested in main-
taining their grades.
Most campus employers under-
stand that you are a student first,
employee second, Marsh said.
KU Libraries, one of the larger
employers on campus, has had fairly
steady student employment figures
over the last few years, despite the
Universitys budget cuts. According
to Rebecca Smith, director of com-
munications for KU Libraries, last
year 224 students were employed,
compared to 246 as of last week.
Like most employers on campus,
application totals for KU Libraries
positions have been consistently
high in recent years.
Jeromy Horkman, a service desk
supervisor at Watson Library, said
he had noticed an increase in the
number of students following up
on their online application sub-
missions with personal visits and
phone calls.
I would attribute this to over-
all economic conditions and KU
Libraries popularity as a key
place in which to work and study,
Horkman said.
As it becomes increasingly more
difficult to find jobs available
amidst tough competition at the
University, Crawford is just glad to
have found one.
With my schedule, its nice to
have that flexibility and under-
standing that comes on campus,
Crawford said.

Kris Kobach, a Republican run-
ning for Kansas Secretary of State,
helped draft SB 1070, which went
into effect on April 23. David
Trevino, an immigration lawyer
from Lawrence and a member
of the three-person panel at the
forum, said if Kobach were elected,
Kansas government would likely
push for stricter enforcement of
immigration laws.
Trevino said the idea of stricter
immigration laws was popular
among Kansas citizens, and that
if Republicans took office, it was
likely that lawmakers would draft
a bill for Kansas similar to SB
1070.
It concerns me, Trevino said.
One aspect of the Arizona immi-
gration bill that causes concern is
the fear that people stopped by the
police will be subjected to racial
profiling. People of Hispanic
descent will most likely be under
scrutiny, the laws critics say.
Trevino said that although the
immigration law specifically for-
bade racial profiling, it would be
almost impossible to stop.
Racial profiling is part of police
work, Trevino said. Obviously
we are not a color-blind society, so
assumptions are made.
Tanya Golash-Boza, assistant
professor of sociology and a mem-
ber of the panel, said that today in
the United States, about 25 per-
cent of undocumented immigrants
are not from Latin America. Only
about five percent of deported
people were from countries other
than Latin America. People of
European, Middle Eastern and
Asian descent are usually not
deported.
Kris Velasco, sophomore from
Wamego, said he didnt want to see
a form of the Arizona immigration
bill come to Kansas. He said he
believed that Kansas and Arizona
had different social problems,
which needed to be addressed in
different ways. He said the United
States should promote legal immi-
gration by offering more work
visas and easing laws to make legal
immigration less difficult.
America is the melting pot of
the world, so we need to promote
that as much as we can, Velasco
said.

Before the first pitch was
thrown during Wednesday nights
game against Baker, the Jayhawks
warm-up session was telling for
what was soon to come. Senior
catcher Brittany Hile pumped up
each of her fellow players during
pre-game infield drills.
Coach Megan Smith said the
close-knit nature of the team was
demonstrated directly on the field
in their 10-0 victory over the
Wildcats, even though fall games
are considered more as practice.
We really look at the intensity
level and how they are commu-
nicating out on the field, Smith
said. It gives us an idea of what
we need to work on for the rest
of the fall. Overall, I am really
pleased with it [the teams perfor-
mance].
Although eight young players
are now apart of the fall ros-
ter, they bring much more depth
to this season compared to the
spring, Smith said.
We have a lot of good young
players that wore their jerseys for
the first time tonight, Smith said.
So, this was an exciting game
for them and they all performed
extremely well.
Freshman pitcher Kristin
Martinez pitched her first game
beginning in the fourth inning.
Her first few pitches were rough,
but she quickly settled into a
rhythm and ended the fifth inning
with two consecutive strikeouts.
I was really nervous coming
into the fourth inning, Martinez
said. But after that, I was really
excited because this is what I have
been working for practically my
whole life.
Last season Megan Hull played
as a slapper, but this season she
has made the transition to full
hitting. By the end of the sixth
inning, Hull had swung for a
single, double, triple and a home
run.
I have been working on my
swing all fall, Hull said. It was
nice to just come into a live situa-
tion and perform.
Senior Liz Kocon, senior
Brittany Hile, and junior Ashley
Spencer have played leading roles
for the young team so far this
season. Kocon managed four at
bats and her solid line drive in the
fifth inning brought in two more
runs for the Jayhawks.
I want the whole team to keep
hitting like we did, just being
aggressive at the plate, Kocon
said. If we can just keep that, we
will be winning a lot more games
this year.
Wednesday nights win illus-
trated the teams hard work in the
off-season. Overall, the Jayhawks
had a strong first showing against
the Baker Wildcats.
The Jayhawks will face Johnson
County Community College at
home on Oct. 6.

players start Selfs Boot Camp
BY TIM DWYER

Marcus Morris has been getting
preseason hype from pretty much
every sports media outlet you
can think of. Hes been named a
preseason All-American by Dick
Vitale, Blue Ribbon Basketball
Yearbook and The Sporting News.
DraftExpress.com called him the
best NBA prospect in the Big 12.
Reclining in a chair in the
media relations office Tuesday
afternoon, though, Morris just
looked wiped out.
He and his teammates were a
day-and-a-half into Bill Self s infa-
mous boot camp, but Morris, a
junior, said it was exhaustion like
he didnt know before he came to
Kansas.
Its a different kind of tired,
you know what I mean? Morris
said. Your bodys tired. You real-
ly cant sleep that much. Then
youre just running around and
doing drills and getting yelled at.
Its just draining.
Morris did say, though, that
boot camp has gotten easier over
the years for him.
When I got here as a fresh-
man, some of the
guys said that was
the easiest boot
camp, he said,
and I thought it
was the hardest
thing Id ever done.
This year is not as
hard as it was when
I was a freshman,
Ill tell you that
much.
A typical boot
camp day starts
with a 5:30 a.m. alarm. Stretching
at the Fieldhouse starts at 6 and
then drills with no basketballs
run until about 7:15. The lucky
ones get a nap then. Others start
their classes. After the school
day, weights start up at 3:30 p.m.
Lifting and pickup games run
until about 6 p.m., then the play-
ers have study hours with their
tutors from 7 to 9 p.m. By that
time theyre spent, so they sleep
and they get up to do it again the
next day.
Morris said the worst part was
doing all basketball stuff with
no basketballs. You know what
Im talking about? Thats just not
interesting at all.
He and the

classmen have

senior guard Tyrel Reed said.
We havent had any crazy things
happen, I guess you could say.
Everyones been in pretty good
shape so far.
Junior guard Tyshawn Taylor
said the young guys were han-
dling it well, but that they werent
totally prepared for how difficult
the next week-and-a-half will be.
I think its a little harder on
the younger guys, Taylor said.
They dont really know what to
expect, even though we told them.

Infamous preseason training tests
the newest additions to the team
Jerry Wang/KANSAN FILE pHoto
Junior forward Marcus Morris leaps over Alcorn State forward Michael Starks for a jumper. The teamstarted preseason training on Monday.
T
his weekend I watched
my brother, a high school
senior, run cross country at
Rim Rock Farm. For high school
runners, its a major goal to par-
ticipate in a meet at Rim Rock,
first because the course hosts the
state tournament for Kansas high
schools, and secondly because of
the rich history found there. Metal
life-sized silhouettes of famous for-
mer KU runners are placed along-
side the trail, acting as their own
personal, on-spot hall of fame.
A KU running legend and
Olympic silver medalist, Jim Ryun,
returned to Lawrence Saturday to
sign autographs and pass out indi-
vidual and team awards after each
race. The top 25 runners from
each race and the winning teams
also had the opportunity to shake
Ryuns hand and pose for pictures
afer the race. While this did not
necessarily mean a lot to some of
the high school athletes, there were
starstruck parents to make up for
them. One parent, a family friend
of mine, asked, Do these kids
even comprehend who this is and
how cool it is? Of course Ryun
competed within his own genera-
tion, and Steve Prefontaine more
or less replaced the inspirational
role for todays young runner, but
my friend had an interesting point.
I think one of the best things
about being a fan is looking into
the history of a program and
learning about the former players
and teams. Familiarizing yourself
with this background brings a
deeper sense of pride and under-
standing when you cheer for your
team. Especially here at Kansas, I
think students are lucky because
theyre not only surrounded on
campus by talented players their
own age, but students also have
former athletes involved around
the University.
The most obvious example is
probably Danny Manning, who
led the basketball team to their
1988 championship and has since
returned to coach for his alma
mater, even sitting on the bench in
support when the basketball team
won the National championship
in 2008.
Former football greats John
Hadl and Gale Sayers are working
with the Williams Fund as associ-
ate athletics director for major gifts
and director of funding for special
events respectively. And Max
Falkenstien can still be seen at
Kansas athletic events, even after
60 years of announcing games for
the school.
All of these names will forever
be remembered in some capacity,
whether it be on a jersey hang-
ing in their honor, their names
adorned on stadium walls, or a
even a silhouette in their likeness
standing at Rim Rock Farm.
Part of my message is to honor
your elders, but really, at Kansas,
students are lucky to have such
important and nationally recog-
nized former athletes and alumni
sticking around in support of the
University, far after their eligibility
has expired. So read up on them
if you dont recognize the names.
And if you do, make it a goal to try
and meet any of these great men
and women while you are here.

Reigning seniors embrace leadership
role for eight young players this season
T
he fantasy season is three weeks
in and surprise players are pop-
ping up all over the place. If you
get the right free agents, they can carry
your team to victory. Last season, it was
Steve Smith from the New York Giants
and Ricky Williams that did it for me.
This year my favorite grabs, so far, have
been Mark Clayton and Dustin Keller.
Lets go over a few key players, position
by position.
Sometimes quarterbacks are hard
to come by, especially in one of my
leagues where we start two of them. I
have Jake Cutler, who has proven to be
a fantasy stud, and Alex Smith, who is
on his way to becoming a fantasy dud.
Because Im technology-impaired, my
backup quarterback, whom I originally
drafted, had the same bye week as one
of my other quarterbacks. I went for
Matt Stafford. He is a great pick up for
a backup, especially if you have a starter
with a late bye week. The teams target
for his return is in Week 5 against St.
Louis. So, if you are desperate like me,
Stafford could be a great pickup from
free agency.
One other quarterback that may be
available is Kyle Orton. Hes consistently
put up great numbers and is just 11
yards behind the league leader Phillip
Rivers. People doubt Orton every year,
but he still has some great games and
the later part of his schedule includes
teams like St. Louis and Oakland.
Many of the good running backs
have probably been snatched up in most
leagues, but if you want to take a little
bit of a gamble, Id go with the Patriots
running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis.
This isnt the first time hes been on
the fantasy free agent radar last year
towards the end of the season, he was
pretty popular as well. Last game he
rushed for 98 yards and a touchdown.
His reps have been slowly growing
since the beginning of the season,
but this could be due to Fred Taylors
injury. The carries could start dimin-
ishing as Taylor recovers. The main
downside is that he is competing for
touches with Sammy Morris as well
as Taylor, and the number of touches
he gets could just depend on what
Bill Belichick had for breakfast that
day. He is winning the touch battle
right now Ellis got 16 touches to
Taylors and Morriss six touches
but that could change.
There always seem to be new wide
receivers to pick up every week. Right
now its Lance Moore. And instead of
saying go for it, Im going to say wait a
week. Moore had a great game, but with
him its a big game or nothing. I had
him on my team last year and it seemed
that hed get me two points whenever I
started him and 20 whenever he was on
the bench. I have a hard time believing
hes the real deal.
The one player Id been looking at
the past two weeks, but didnt have the
guts to grab, is Oaklands Louis Murphy,
mainly because hes on the Raiders, and
they are, well, the Raiders. But as they
get their quarterback debacle figured
out, Murphy continues to improve. He
has a great rapport with their current
first-stringer, Bruce Gradkowski.
One word of caution, however,
patience is always a virtue. You dont
want to be the guy that dropped Dustin
Keller right before his biggest game of
the season. But it is just a game, believe
it or not, and scouting free agents is half
of the fun.

DENVER Matt Kemp hit a
grand slam and the Los Angeles
Dodgers beat the Colorado
Rockies 7-6 Wednesday to com-
plete a three-game sweep.
A day after eliminating the
Rockies from postseason con-
tention, Los Angeles sent them
to their fourth straight loss.
Colorado went 1-5 on its final
homestand, part of a stretch in
which it lost nine of 10 over-
all. The Rockies finished 52-29
at Coors Field this season, but
faded in the races for the NL
West and wild card.
Kemps slam capped a five-
run third inning against Jhoulys
Chacin (9-11).
The Dodgers, who are 78-81,
need to sweep their final series
of the season at home against
Arizona to avoid their first los-
ing season since 2005.
Chacin fanned seven in five
innings, giving him 138 strike-
outs for the season and a record
for a Rockies rookie. He broke
the mark of 134 set by Shawn
Chacon in 2001.
Kemps fifth career slam
was one of only two hits in the
Dodgers big inning, with all five
runs unearned. Chin-Lung Hu
doubled, Trent Oeltjen walked
with two outs and then third
baseman Ian Stewart muffed
Ryan Theriots grounder. After
walking James Loney on five
pitches, Kemp connected.
The Dodgers added a run in
the fourth on Hus sacrifice fly,
scoring Reed Johnson, who led
off with a double. Los Angeles
made it 7-3 in the fifth when
Oeltjen was hit by a pitch, moved
up on catcher Miguel Olivos
throwing error and scored on
Loneys single.
The Rockies took a 1-0 lead
in the second when Kemp broke
in a couple steps on a fly ball by
Troy Tulowitzki, who wound up
with a triple and scored on Todd
Heltons sacrifice fly. Tulowitzki
went 4 for 4 with a walk and
scored three times.
Olivo led off the third with his
14th home run and first in 124
at-bats since July 31.
Ramon Troncoso(2-3)
won in relief of starter Carlos
Monasterios.
Down 7-5, the Rockies loaded
the bases with two out, but Jeff
Weaver relieved George Sherrill
and got pinch-hitter Melvin
Mora to fly out on the first
pitch.
The Rockies scored a run in
the ninth, but the game ended
on Olivos soft lineout with run-
ners on second and third. Ronald
Belisario got his second save.

ST. LOUIS P.J. Walters
pitched seven innings of
three-hit ball and Allen Craig
hit a solo shot to help the St.
Louis Cardinals to a 4-1 win
over the Pittsburgh Pirates on
Wednesday.
After allowing an infield sin-
gle to Andrew McCutchen to
start the game, Walters (2-0) set
down the next 14 batters before
Ronny Cedeno led off the sixth
with a single to center field.
Walters worked four innings of
relief last Thursday in Pittsburgh,
where he allowed five runs and
seven hits. But he was much
sharper in his fourth career start,
issuing just one walk and strik-
ing out four while dropping the
Pirates to 16-61 on the road.
Neil Walker drove in the
Pirates only run with a sacrifice
fly in the ninth.
Bryan Anderson and Tyler
Greene each went 2 for 4
and drove in a run for the
Cardinals. Aaron Miles drove
in the Cardinals other run
with an RBI single.
Having been eliminated
from playoff contention the day
before, the Cardinals started
a lineup heavy on September
call-ups and reserves. With
no Albert Pujols (117 RBIs)
or Matt Holliday (103 RBIs),
St. Louis starting lineup had
driven in a total of 132 runs
this year.
The Cardinals got on the
board when Craig hit a 2-2
pitch just over the wall.

ARLINGTON, Texas Mitch
Moreland raced home from first
base with the winning run after
a wild pitch and a throwing error
on a strikeout with two outs in the
ninth inning, lifting the AL West
champion Texas Rangers over the
last-place Seattle Mariners 6-5
Wednesday.
Moreland reached on a two-out
walk in the ninth off Dan Cortes
(0-1). Pinch-hitter Nelson Cruz
then struck out, but reached on
a wild pitch that bounced past
catcher Guillermo Quiroz.
Quiroz retrieved the ball, but
threw wildly into right field try-
ing to get Cruz at first. Moreland
never stopped running and beat
the throw home by right fielder
Ichiro Suzuki.
Neftali Feliz (4-3), the third
Rangers reliever, struck out one in
a perfect ninth.
The Rangers had scored three
runs in the eighth to tie the game
at 5-all, scoring on a bases-loaded
walk and another wild pitch by
Cortes.
Cortes had been the first Seattle
reliever since 1993 to open his
major league career with consecu-
tive appearances without allowing
a runner when he struck out four
while retiring the first six batters
he faced. Things went much dif-
ferently in the right-handers third
game.
Taking over for Jamey Wright
in the eighth with two runners on,
Cortes started with nine consecu-
tive balls. The first walk loaded
the bases and the second forced
home a run before Julio Borbon
hit an RBI single and a wild pitch
allowed the tying run.
After Jorge Cantu and Jeff
Francoeur had flyouts to start the
ninth, Moreland walked and Cruz,
who has hit three game-winning
homers this season, pinch-hit for
Esteban German.
Quirozs throw was to the infield
side of the bag, and first baseman
Justin Smoak was set up on the
foul side. Suzuki made a strong
throw home, but Moreland beat
it.
Moreland had entered the game
in the second when David Murphy
left because of a strained left groin.
The team said Murphy was having
an MRI exam.
Smoak, the rookie first baseman
sent to Seattle when the Rangers
acquired ace left-hander Cliff Lee
on July 9, homered for the third
straight game against his former
team. He hit a two-run homer
in the first off Rich Harden, who
might have made his last start for
Texas.
The Mariners led 5-1 after
Quiroz had a double in the sixth
and scored when Suzuki reached
on an error by shortstop Andres
Blanco.
Texas (88-70) can still reach 92
wins, the mark that team presi-
dent and co-owner Nolan Ryan
had set as a goal before the season
with a sweep in the upcoming
four-game home series against the
Los Angeles Angels.
The Mariners (61-97) have to
split their four-game home series
against Oakland to avoid their
second 100-loss season in three
years.
Smoaks homer was a 412-foot
shot onto the hill in straightway
center field, almost identical to
his homer the night before. He has
13 homers this season.
Franklin Gutierrez hit a two-
run double in the fifth to make it
4-1, chasing Harden, who allowed
four runs and six hits.
Texas signed Harden last winter
to a free-agent deal for $6.5 mil-
lion with a chance to earn anoth-
er $2.5 million in performance
bonuses. There is an $11.5 million
mutual option for 2011 with a $1
million buyout for the Rangers.
Harden has been on the dis-
abled list twice this season and is
5-5 with a a 5.58 ERA that is the
highest in his career. It is unlikely
that the right-hander will even be
on Texas playoff roster.

Hawks end losing streak, win Border Showdown
BY IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
Kansas stopped a five-match
skid going into its match against
the Missouri Tigers last night, win-
ning 3-1 in a Border Showdown
volleyball match.
In front of an unusually vocal
crowd, senior outside hitter Karina
Garlington led the Jayhawks with
22 kills as they improved their
all-time record against the Tigers
to 33-49.
We were able to get some
momentum back under us, said
Garlington. Playing at Horejsi
was great.
She said that the team would
have an opportunity to get anoth-
er win on the road on Saturday,
when Kansas plays Texas Tech.
Were going to get some fire
under us, she said.
Kansas held the lead through-
out the first set, hitting with bet-
ter efficiency and out-blocking
Missiouri 2-1. Brianne Riley,
freshman defensive specialist and
recent rookie of the week, did not
play in the match, as she suffered
a minor head injury in Satudays
game at Colorado.
Instead, freshman defensive
specialist Jaime Mathieu started
in the libero position. Garlington
said that Mathieu did a great job
and that she enjoyed seeing the
freshman play.
Oh my gosh, shes just a little
firecracker, she said. She has
such a game face, she doesnt let
anybody push her around.
Kaiser said that she was seeing
more time on the court because
she had been working hard to gain
coach Ray Bechards confidence.
Kaiser went on to score 16 kills
with no errors and recorded the
highest efficiency of anyone in the
match.
Missouri took an early lead in the
second set, but Garlington scored
11 kills to help the Jayhawks win.
Altough Kansas scored the first
point of the third set, Missouris
outside hitter Brittney Brimmage
scored a kill, that gave her team the
lead it needed to win 24-26.
Te Jayhawks jumped in front of
the Tigers early in the fourth set.
Although the Tigers crept close
several times, the Jayhawks took
the set and the match 25-21.
Bechard said that, overall, the
Jayhawk ofense performed unusu-
ally well, reaching a season-high
.340 hitting efciency, siding out
successfully 66 percent of the time.
Tats a big, big number. And
we needed that, too, he said. Be-
cause they were hitting on our side,
too.

BY BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
When asked to comment on the
current running back situation,
freshman running back Deshaun
Sands gave both the positive and
the negative.
Its a challenge, but were get-
ting through it. Sands said. Each
one helps another, we have com-
plement styles.
Dealing with four backs can be
tricky, almost as tricky as the cir-
cumstances that got the Jayhawks
to this point.
Angus Quigley had the job at
first.
He was a running back with
promise, who had made a big
enough impres-
sion on coach
Turner Gill that
he earned the
starting job.
With Sands
backing up
Quigley, it
seemed as
though the
freshman would
have a strong mentor to look up
to. However, after a devastating
loss to North Dakota State, the
arrangement would have to be
audibled.
That adjustment came in the
form of 6-foot, 226-pound James
Sims, who was playing for the
injured Sands. He made an imme-
diate impact, breaking out for 101
yards on 17 carries with a touch-
down. His performance placed
him in the record books as the
first freshman in Kansas football
history to gain 100 yards rushing
in his debut.
By way of an injury, leaving
a questionable status on Quigley
from the Georgia Tech game, Sims
would have a chance to showcase
his skills with his freshman coun-
terpart, Sands.
Sims received the bulk of the
workload against Southern Miss,
accounting for 77 yards on 20 car-
ries. Sands accounted for 35 yards
on eight carries. Not stellar games
for either, but the season was still
young. On to Week 4 and New
Mexico State.
The week of preparation started
out with the news that Angus
Quigley, who had been voted one
of the captains not more than
a month ago by his teammates,
would not be receiving the bulk
of the carries in the forthcom-
ing games. While Quigley had
come up with big statistics for
the Jayhawks in his career 476
yards and five touchdowns on 92
carries he had lost the start-
ing job.
It wasnt Sands who was moved
up to No.1 on the depth chart,
but rather Sims.
With what seemed to be a solid
backfield, the Jayhawks headed
into Week 4 with a game plan
in mind. While the Jayhawks did
emerge victorious, they did not
see the run game they had expect-
ed. A new player had stepped
up in the backfield changing the
status quo of the running backs.
Again.
Sophomore D.J. Beshears burst
onto the running back scene and
never looked back. His 68 yards
on 15 carries, along with two
touchdowns, stole the show last
Saturday. His play only compli-
cates the backfield further.
Gill and offensive coordina-
tor Chuck Long now face the
extremely tough task of handling
the backfield.
Its not a matter of saying we
need to get this guy that many
or that many, were just trying to
make sure we do things in a good
way, Gill said on Tuesday, We
still got our plan just to do what-
ever we can to get production out
of our running game. Definitely
James Sims will probably be the
primary guy, but Sands is going to
get some carries, Beshears is going
to get some carries.
The best news of all is that the
carousel of running backs is only
helping freshman quarterback
Jordan Webb come up with yards.
We have a lot of good running
backs, and its something that I
enjoy, because whenever you get
the ball in those guys hands, you
know theyre doing something
with it. Webb said.
When it comes to football,
nothing is set in stone it is not
unlikely that the best player one
week may not be the best anoth-
er week. This could turn in the
favor of Quigley. Presently, Angus
Quigleys carries are for the most
part on hiatus.
As of Wednesday, Gill listed
Quigley as doubtful for this
weeks game at Baylor. His appar-
ent leg injury has not progressed.

Phillies defeat Nationals 7-1 in Washingtons home fnale
MLB
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Ben
Francisco hit two of Philadelphias
four homers Wednesday night,
and a lineup filled with reserves
led the NL East champion Phillies
to a 7-1 victory over the last-place
Nationals in Washingtons home
finale.
Only two regulars started for
Philadelphia, which is 95-64 and
already was assured of home-
field advantage throughout the
postseason, as manager Charlie
Manuel gave key cogs such as
Ryan Howard and Chase Utley
the night off. Mike Sweeney and
Francisco hit consecutive homers
off Ross Detwiler (1-3) to open
the second inning.
John Mayberry added a three-
run shot in the fourth, and
Franciscos second homer of the
night, a two-run drive, came an
inning later.
Joe Blanton (9-6) gave up one
unearned run and three singles in
seven innings.
In what might have been Adam
Dunns final game at Nationals
Park as a member of the home
team, the slugging first baseman
went 0 for 4 with four strike-
outs. He leads Washington with
38 homers and 103 RBIs and can
become a free agent this offsea-
son.
We need to get a four-hole hit-
ter that plays first base. We under-
stand that. We want it to be Adam
Dunn, Nationals general manager
Mike Rizzo said. But if it isnt, we
need to address that situation.
When Dunn led off the ninth
inning, he was greeted by a stand-
ing ovation from most of the
announced crowd of 20,026.
The Nationals drew a total of
1,828,066 fans in 2010. Thats an
average of 22,569 up about
135 per game from 2009 at
40,000-plus-capacity Nationals
Park.

OSTRAVA, Czech Republic
Diana Taurasi scored 24 points and
Sylvia Fowles added 15 to help the
United States beat Australia 83-75
on Wednesday night, earning
the top seed in the quarterfinals
at the womens world basketball
championship.
Tina Charles had 14 points for
the U.S. (6-0), which will face South
Korea on Friday in Karlovy Vary.
Australia (5-1) will take on the
Czech Republic. The Americans
remained undefeated against the
Aussies in the worlds, improving to
9-0 all-time.
Liz Cambage scored 18 points to
lead the defending world champions
while Lauren Jackson added 13.
Even with a lot less at stake,
the teams went right at each
other, trading points early on. The
officials called 17 fouls in the first
8 minutes.
Leading 21-18 with 1:56 left in
the first period, the Americans
took over with Fowles and Taurasi
keying an 18-0 run.
Fowles started the spurt with a
tough lay-in. Taurasi followed with
an acrobatic jumper. On the next
play, Sue Bird tracked down the ball
at midcourt and passed ahead to
Fowles for another easy lay-in as the
Americans were off and running to
the delight of the crowd of 6,340.
The U.S. led by 11 after one
period and continued the onslaught
to start the second quarter, scoring
the first nine points. Taurasi hit
two 3-pointers during the burst,
including one with 8 minutes left
that capped the run and made it
39-18.
Jackson finally ended Australias
drought with a deep 3-pointer, but
the U.S. maintained an 18-point
halftime lead.
Unlike the 2008 Olympic gold
medal game when the Americans
jumped out to a 17-point halftime
lead and then coasted to a 92-65
win, Australia battled back in the
second half.
Trailing 67-48, the Aussies
scored eight of the next nine
points to make it a 12-point game.
Cambage asserted herself on both
ends, blocking shots and showing
an array of post moves.
The 19-year-old, who leads the
team in scoring for the tournament,
has shown vast improvement since
the first time the U.S. saw her in a
scrimmage back in July.
Her three-point play with 2:26
left cut Australias deficit to 79-70,
but it wasnt enough.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANHATTAN Out of the
corner of his eye, Kansas State
quarterback Carson Coffman saw
something that made him gulp.
An unblocked Iowa State safety
was flashing into the backfield,
taking dead aim at Daniel Thomas
just as he was getting the ball.
But suddenly Thomas dipped a
shoulder, swiveled a hip and shift-
ed his weight. The safety grabbed
mostly air and Thomas spun away
for a 20-yard gain in a 27-20 victo-
ry in the Wildcats Big 12 opener.
I thought Id seen just about
every move he has, Coffman
said of his humble running back.
Pretty sweet.
Football always came easy to
this easygoing son of a Georgia
pastor. It was all that other stuff
that led him through three dif-
ferent junior colleges and at least
one crisis of confidence before
he finally landed safely at Kansas
State.
Now hes averaging 157 yards per
game for the unbeaten Wildcats
(4-0), excelling at a position he
never played until last year. NFL
scouts are also taking notice of a
remarkably fast, fluid and elusive
238-pounder.
He is a great running back,
said Central Florida coach George
OLeary. He will be playing on
Sunday.
For a couple of worrisome years,
it looked like Thomas would never
reach his potential. He was in peril
of joining a mostly unseen army
of unfortunate young people who
never meet minimum NCAA aca-
demic standards and drop back
into the crowd, their athletic tal-
ents forever untapped.
An option quarterback at
Hilliard, Fla., high school, he
was offered a scholarship by Ole
Miss. But he failed to qualify. So
it was on to Northwest Mississippi
Community College, where he
rushed for 618 yards and six TDs
and passed for 450 yards and a pair
of touchdowns.
Florida and Oklahoma came
calling. The Sooners wanted to
turn him into a safety. Florida
foresaw him as a quarterback.
But still the grades were not up
to snuff. He began to wonder if the
struggle was worth it.
I think I was pretty distracted,
he said. I had just never thought
studying and going to class was
important.
At the Elm Grove Baptist
Church across the state line in
Florida, Pastor Jerald Thomas
asked the congregation to pray
for his son, who enrolled at Butler
Community College in Kansas.
Then, finally, he got his academics
in line with a couple of classes at
Manhattan (Kan.) Christian and
enrolled at Kansas State.
What a journey, he said. I
could probably write a book about
it.
To that point, he had played
quarterback, linebacker and safe-
ty. But when he reported for his
first meeting at Kansas State, he
was told to report to the running
backs meeting.
It was kind of a shock, he
said.
It turns out coach Bill Snyder
had taken a long look at video-
tape.
I just didnt feel like he was
going to be able to throw the foot-
ball as well as you would hope you
could at that position, he said.
It was apparent he could run the
ball.
Many quarterbacks might be
bitter at the switch. Not Thomas.
You say, Daniel, youre a safety,
Daniel, youre an offensive tackle,
he would say, OK, show me what
to do, said Snyder. Thats just the
way he is.
Thomas hurt his shoulder in
the first game in 2009. But with a
sore shoulder and no experience
at his new position, he proceeded
to lead the Big 12 with 1,265 yards
rushing.
This year, in his 13th game
as a running back, he launched
his senior season with 234 yards
against UCLA. No one had gained
that many yards against the Bruins
since Reggie Bush went for 260 in
his Heisman Trophy-winning year
of 2005.
He had 137 against Missouri
State the next week and ripped
through Iowa States defense for
181 the week after that, scoring two
touchdowns in all three games.
OLearys Central Florida defense
keyed on him every play and held
him to 76 yards but that opened up
the passing lanes for Coffman and
Kansas State remained unbeaten
going into this bye week.
Were undefeated and thats the
most important thing, Thomas
said. I dont think weve reached
our potential yet.
Thomas ranks fourth nationally
with an average of 157 yards. His
628 total yards rushing are sec-
ond only to Michigan quarterback
Denard Robinson.
Against a back like him you
have to be prepared for it because
the average back is nowhere near
that size, Central Florida defen-
sive end David Williams said of
the beefy, 6-foot-2 Thomas. Hes
so shifty, too. For his size, his ath-
leticism is almost unforeseen in
college football.
Sometimes he still looks like
a rookie at his position. There
have been several times this year
when he failed to use his blocks
just right.
But he makes so many yards
on his own after contact, said cen-
ter Wade Weibert. He just keeps
churning his feet and fighting for
every inch he can get.

Cal slashes athletics budget,
drops four varsity programs
Mcclatchy-tribune
Cals administration included
baseball among the five sports
affected Tuesday while slashing $4
million from the athletic depart-
ments future budget. The 2011
season the schools 119th since
the program was born in 1892
will now be the Golden Bears
last.
Berkeley prides itself on hav-
ing perhaps the most diverse cam-
pus in the country, and now it
has shut down Americas pastime,
said Kevin Maas, a former Cal
player who spent five seasons in
the major leagues and now resides
in Castro Valley.
In addition to baseball, Cal
eliminated mens and womens
gymnastics and womens lacrosse,
all effective beginning with the
2011-12 school year. It reclassified
the hugely successful mens rugby
program as a varsity club sport.
Coach Jack Clark, who has
directed 21 of Cals 25 rugby
national championships, was
confused by the new designation,
but he is willing to await further
explanation.
I was speechless, said Jeff
Kent, a potential Hall of Famer
who played at Cal and was the
National League MVP with
the Giants in 2000. My initial
thought was more of a disgusted
feeling. I came from that program,
and theres absolutely no way in
the world Id be sitting where I am
now if it wasnt for that program.
For that to be eliminated, Im
kind of embarrassed, too. Im
hurt.
As pitcher Tyson Ross, who
played at Cal from 2006-08 and
finished this season at Triple-A
Sacramento, called the news
heartbreaking.
Cal baseball coach David Esquer
has vowed to stay on through the
final season.
I love the university, love what
it stands for, Esquer said. But
this is tragic, and I dont agree
with it. I dont like it.
Cal players were not made
available for comment, but Esquer
said, Theyre angry and scared
and nervous.
Athletic director Sandy Barbour,
who appeared at an afternoon
news conference with Chancellor
Robert Birgeneau and Vice-
Chancellor Frank Yeary, called it
a difficult and painful day.
The cuts became necessary after
Birgeneau decided the university
would provide $5 million annu-
ally to intercollegiate athletics. In
recent years, athletics has needed
as much as $9 million to $13 mil-
lion from the school to augment
its $70 million overall budget.
Birgeneau said no more teams
will be cut and believes the chang-
es will allow Cal to land on a
financially sustainable path by
2014.
Cal baseball won the first
College World Series in 1947, then
won it again 10 years later. But the
Bears havent captured a Pac-10
title since 1980, and Barbour said
the program had the highest net
cost to the university among mens
programs.
The other nine Pac-10
schools all have baseball teams.
Conference newcomer Colorado,
which arrives next fall, does not
field a team, but Utah, the other
incoming member of the Pac-10,
does.
Longtime Stanford coach Mark
Marquess said Cals decision will
cause ripples beyond Berkeley.
Obviously, it affects Stanford,
because its our traditional rival.
We are big rivals, but we have a lot
of good friends there, Marquess
said in a statement.
