Morrisfellow players are looking to him for support. BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com The Kansas Board of Regents approved a reduction on Thursday of the minimum number of semester credit hours required for a bachelors degree. The previous requirement for bachelors degrees in liberal arts, sciences or professional fields was 124 hours. The Regents will decrease that to 120 hours to make Kansas requirements con- sistent with the majority of other state institutions across the coun- try. Thirty-nine other states have a 120-hour minimum and two others have considered adopting this requirement. Reducing the number of required hours will make obtain- ing a degree more attainable for students, said Christopher Haufler, chairman of the task force and professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. Taking steps such as this reduces the burden that our stu- dents face, and brings us closer to achieving more timely g r a duat i on rates for our s t u d e n t s , Haufler said. While this rule is effec- tive immedi- ately, univer- sities are not required to adopt this minimum. This means each campus and program will determine when, if and how to implement the rule. Jesse Flax, a freshman from Bison, said he was in favor of the change. That will mean less classes that wed have to take and more money saved, Flax said. This reduction was one of the many recommendations given by Chancellor Bernadette Gray- Littles retention and gradua- tion task force earlier this year. Instituted last November, her task force focused on several ways to raise retention and graduation rates at the University. Its report included adding an early advising warning system, updated general e d u c a t i o n requirements, raising admis- sion standards and increased s t u d e n t engagement. Its very desirable to reduce the requirement and get it in line with the national average, Gray-Little said. Improving our graduation rate is an important goal. Gray-Little said one of the first things she noticed when she came to the University last year was its unusually high requirement for graduation. The requirement was set at 124 in 2003 and had not been altered until now. Edited by Lisa Curran Regents lower hours required to graduate campus Ku credit Hours Previous requirement for bachelors degrees in liberal arts, sciences or professional felds was 124 credit hours. New requirement is 120 credit hours. Thirty-nine other states have a 120-hour mini- mum and two others have considered adopt- ing this change. Graduation rates: Right now, 32 percent of KU students graduate in four years and 61 percent graduate in six years, ranking below both the Big 12 and national aver- ages. Task force expects change to increase graduation numbers Its very desirable to reduce the requirement and get it in line with the national average. BeRNadeTTe gRay-liTTle Chancellor BY STEPHEN GRAY sgray@kansan.com When Evy Struttman received the e-mail that she was going to receive a $20,000 scholarship through the Kansas University Endowment Association last year, she knew immediately that the University of Kansas was the place for her. Struttman, a sophomore from Topeka, was given the financial support by the privately-funded Chancellors Club, which awards renewable scholarships to 16 National Merit finalists each year. The club helps recruit top-perform- ing students to the University. Thanks to this scholarship, I dont have to have a job and I dont have to worry about a huge debt hanging over my head after gradua- tion, Struttman said. Struttman was one of more than 6,500 students to receive scholarships last year from the association. In the 2010 fiscal year, which ended June 30, it gave $28.9 million in scholar- ships as part of the $110.2 million it donated to the University. Dale Seuferling, the president of the Endowment Association, said students could benefit from schol- arships, fellowships and awards through the association. With the funding cuts faced by KU due to the reduction in state support, private giving has become even more critical to the Universitys future, Seuferling said. According to Giving USA, an annual report on philanthropy in the United States, contributions to higher education in 2009 declined by 3.6 percent. The Endowment Association was an exception to this trend and had record contributions for the third year in a row. Seuferling credited the desire of the Universitys alumni and the hard work of the fundraising staff for this accomplish- ment. In addition to student scholar- ships, the association funds salaries for distinguished professors, teach- ing awards and academic programs. It also provides facilities and equip- ment for the University. In fact, the association has helped to fund more than two-thirds of campus buildings and 85 percent of its land. Cathy Daicoff, a managing direc- tor at Standard and Poors in New York City, graduated from the University in 1977. She was one of the 45,192 donors last year for the University. Daicoff has been donat- ing for more than 25 years and gives to two causes, the Chancellors Club and a scholarship fund in memo- ry of her father, Darwin Daicoff, a former economics professor at the University. The University of Kansas pro- vided me with a superior education, Daicoff said. I believe we all have a responsibility to make that same education possible for other indi- viduals in the next generation.

Ford Motor Co. has decided to phase out its popular Crown Vic, as its nicknamed, by next year, leaving police departments across the coun- try to decide on a new model. Crown Vics are extremely popular with police forces across the nation the Detroit Free Press reported last year that the car had captured as much as 75 percent of the national police car market. Whenever I see a Crown Vic behind me, I slam on the brakes, said Katherine Lindboe, a senior from Fairway. Ill squint to see if it has lights on top. Capt. Schuyler Bailey from the Public Safety Office said the University police have eight Crown Vics, making up the majority of their fleet. Its what weve driven for a while, Bailey said. But police here on campus and across the nation now have to decide on another model. Bailey said the University police werent necessar- ily focused on a particlar vehicle, though. We dont specify the car, we spec- ify the features we need, Bailey said. He said the police replace about four cars every two or three years with money from their budget. When they do, they send a request to the state with specifications and the number of cars they need. The state then sends a notice out to manufacturers and dealers, who can respond with an offer. Bailey said the police had options as to which cars they buy. They decide based on features offered and price. He said the police have bought Chevrolet cars before, but not often. Usually, theyre Crown Vics, Bailey said. Ford will unveil a new model for police, the Taurus-based Police Interceptor, by the end of next year. It will have four-wheel drive, com- pared to the Crown Vics rear-wheel drive. But for the first time in decades, Ford will have to check its rearview mirror. Police nationwide are already using Dodge Charger vehicles, and Chevrolet is also unveiling a police car next year: the Chevy Caprice PPV. The Detroit Free Press inter- viewed a Chrysler spokesperson last year, who said the company wanted to increase the Chargers police car market share from 17 to 40 percent this year. Edited by Alex Tretbar Crown Victorias reign to end soon Hail to tHe queen Chris Neal/KANsAN The Ford CrownVictoria, one of the most widely used police car models, will be discontinued. The KU Public Safety Ofce replaces its cars every three to four years, so the department will look for a newmodel to use. 2A / NEWS / FridAy, OctOber 22, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / kAnsAn.cOm QUOTE OF THE DAY A fnished person is a boring person.

Sev- erin said the awards recognize leadership and creativity in addressing environmental, eco- nomic and social issues at the University and in the Lawrence community. the award winners and nomi- nees will speak about their work at the University today from 2 to 4 p.m. in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Samantha Collins Kelly Stroda kstroda@kansan.com The School of Pharmacy on West Campus will be dedicated today. The ceremony will be at 11 a.m. in the lecture hall on the main floor of the building. The ceremo- ny is part of the schools 125th a n n i v e r s a r y celebration. It is the third old- est pharmacy school in the United States west of the Mississippi River. Chancellor Bernadette Gray- Little will speak at the ceremo- ny. Other speakers include Gov. Mark Parkinson, Gary Sherrer, Kansas Board of Regents chair, Ken Audus, dean of the School of Pharmacy and Katie Myers, a pharmacy student from Leawood. The School of Pharmacy moved in August as part of a major expansion within the school. The $45 mil- lion building is 110,000-square f e e t . Const ruct i on began in May 2009. Before the School of Pharmacy building was constructed on West Campus, pharmacy classes were held in Malott Hall. The space that we had just wasnt adaptable to the new ways, Audus said in an August interview with The Kansan. There are 150 students in this years pharmacy class. When classes were in Malott Hall, only 105 students could be accommo- dated. He said the modernized new space allows the school to be more competitive. The School of Pharmacy is ranked 18th in the nation among public universities, according to U.S. News.

Earlier this month, the American Planning Association listed Massachusetts Street among the top 10 Great Streets in the country. The APA is a not-for- profit educational organization founded in 1978. Kathleen Sis, a senior from Rogers, Ark., said she was glad that Lawrence was getting recog- nized for more than basketball. Its really appealing that there are restaurants, shops and arts, Sis said. Theres always something to do. To some business own- ers who work on Mass Street, however, the recent distinc- tion was no surprise. The history here and why its so significant to our downtown is really the cor- nerstone of this entire town, said Nancy Longhurst, general man- ager of the Eldridge Hotel 701 Massachusetts St. However, keeping a balance between history and contempo- rary features has not always been easy for Mass Street investors. During the 1980s, a battle between developers and local business owners culminated in a ruling by the Federal District Court, which blocked the building of a new shopping district. Ul t i matel y, Mass Street came to include both local business- es and national chains. Former Mayor David Longhurst said that the shift was actually a positive thing. There are stores that have broad appeal, Hurst said. But what gives it the personality are the owner-operated stores. Rob Fitzgerald, technical direc- tor of Liberty Hall, said that hav- ing a diverse range of stores helped bring new business downtown. When they moved some more college-oriented retail in here in the early 90s, it was kind of an impetus for more restaurants, Fitzgerald said. Then the restau- rants drew more businesses. The combination of old and new is also what gives the street its charm, said Ken Baechtold, a downtown visitor. It has a basic old kind of fun atmosphere, where everythings different, Baechtold said. Theres some change here, but theres a lot of independence, which makes it really nice.

Nicholas Sambaluk THE NExT pANEL Mcclatchey-tribune A mildly pornographic slide- show of photos accompany- ing GQs November cover story about Glee recently went up on the magazines website, and the obligatory onslaught from par- ents groups has begun, with terms like pedophilia being thrown around along with renewed com- plaints that the show is too sexu- ally explicit for the young teen and tween end of the audience it courts. In light of the shows rather self-congratulatory some people want to do good Team Project ads, the term role model so bizarre when it is connected to celebrities of any sort makes a tiny bit more sense than usual. But the problem isnt so much the sex as the sexism. And the disappointing banality of it all. The photos feature Dianna Agron (Quinn), Lea Michele (Rachel) and Cory Monteith (Finn), kicking off with Monteith smiling his All-American smile while grabbing the scantily clad derrieres of two young women. So fresh. So daring. Monteith is, of course, fully clothed and fresh-faced rather than come-hither. Not so his female co-stars, who bare their midriffs and decolletage, bras and panties, in thighs-spread, derri- ere-hoisted do-me poses made more than slightly unsettling by their school-girl ensembles. Michele, in particular, seems to be auditioning for a live-action ver- sion of Japanese anime porn. Of course, Agron and Michele are grown women who only play high school students, and there is some version of satire at work here the story gleefully references all the complaints from those same uptight parental groups. But its of the smug have-your-cake- and-eat-it-too variety. The result is not so much saucy and in- your-face as it is predictable and depressing oh look, more young women being asked to assume the position, this time complete with pom poms and lollipop. No doubt Agron and Michele did it to be sexy and play- ful, and were not at all manipulat- ed by forces that have put genera- tions of young women in precisely the same poses for precisely the same reasons to feed the fan- tasy, promote the show and sell magazines. And that just makes it worse, doesnt it? Agron has issued an apology of sorts on her blog, though she also deflects the blame onto parents, writing if your 8-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on Earth did it get there? as if GQ were indeed pornography from which parents would protect their children as a matter of course and not a mainstream magazine available on newsstands everywhere. Michele, whose poses are much more aggressively sugges- tive than Agrons, has said the poses were unlike any she had ever done. No one can blame a young actress for wanting to make it very clear that, the Broadway cred notwithstanding, she isnt a theater geek but a sexually attrac- tive young woman who shouldnt be shoe-boxed into Rachel roles. But honestly, does a woman still have to strip down to panties and thigh-highs and straddle a bench to accomplish this? Thats not titillat- ing or pro- vocative or even retro. Thats just sad. A l s o very telling. While the pictures do not affect the qual- ity of the show itself, they do make one thing clear. Glee, in case you were wondering after the CDs and the road show, is now a fran- chise, working its way into the American pop conscious and wal- lets with the same intensity of the Disney machine it once seemed determined to send up. The good news about the pho- tos is that, as GQ editors have pointed out in their get over it response, unlike Miley Cyrus when she did those unfortunate Vanity Fair shots, these perform- ers are all adults. The bad news is that the women decided to strip down anyway. Glee stars take criticism for suggestive GQ photos Of course, Agron and Michele are grown women who only play high school students, and there is some version of satire at work here. TELEVISIoN Mcclatchey-tribune Karl Urban lives in two worlds. Hes a citizen of Hollywood, thanks to appearances in films like The Lord of the Rings (playing a warrior) and the recent reboot of Star Trek (as Dr. Leonard Bones McCoy). But the 38-year-old actor is also a proud Kiwi, a resident of Auckland, New Zealand. And he doesnt want to forget it. Like it or not, Ive become a global citizen, Urban said in a recent phone conversation, without a trace of a Down Under accent. The challenge is to maintain your cultural identity, especially back in your home country, where its all too easy to be perceived as some- one who ran off to Hollywood. So while I may work interna- tionally, I live in New Zealand and plan to always do so. Meanwhile, hes all over the place. Recent film shoots have seen the actor on sets in South Africa (2012s Dredd), Argentina (And Soon the Darkness) and New Orleans (Black Water Transit). In his action comedy RED, he portrays a deadly government agent assigned to eliminate retired CIA spies played by Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and John Malkovich. For an actor, Urban said, work- ing with that bunch was like an extended master class. There was such a huge collective amount of experience going into this project. And it wasnt about anybody being the star. ... Its very much an ensemble piece. So it was a fantastic experience to collaborate with people of this caliber. Though a secondary character, Urbans William Cooper may have the largest story arc of any in the film. That was one of the attractions, he said. Cooper was very well- written, not just a two-dimensional man of action. When you first see him hes an efficient, emotionless killer kind of a straight man. That was hard because the other actors got to do funny things. I was suffering from yuk envy. But you enter Coopers story at one point and then go some place completely different. Hes a killer with a family, and that may be his weakness. Urban can identify. The worst part of what I do is spending so much time away from my own family.

Since the beginning of the semester there have been signs placed in the elevators of Wescoe, warning students and faculty of the potential risk of getting stuck and providing them with a phone number to call to get them out if they fnd themselves trapped in one of the elevators. Although the project is underway, the fact that it has taken this long to get started is unacceptable. Steve Green, associate director of Facilities Operations Management Information, declined to comment but said in an Oct. 11 article in Te Kansan that requests were made last fall for the elevator renovation, but a lack of funding delayed the project. Green also said that it is still unknown when the project will be completed but hope it will be fnished by the end of the semester. While budget cuts are an issue Facilities and Operations is facing, it does not excuse the continued problem of students and faculty getting stuck in elevators. Wescoe elevator controls are more than 30 years old and their replacement, which is estimated to cost $73,000, is one of four projects approved by University Design and Construction Management, which receives most of its funding from the state. DCM has provided more than $1 million in funding for elevator and modernizations since 2008. Additional campus organizations, such as the Athletics Department and Parking and Transit, have provided more than $180,000 to elevator repairs. With all of this funding coming in from other departments, the renovation of the elevators in Wescoe should have been started much sooner. Although taking the stairs is one way to avoid the risk of getting stuck in one of the elevators in Wescoe, it is not an option available to everyone. Students and faculty with disabilities or injuries that require them to take the elevators have had no choice but to risk getting stuck. Its good that the renovations have fnally begun, but it is unfortunate that it took so long for them to get started. Kate Larrabee for the Kansan Editorial Board niCK SAmbUlAK renovations welcome but are long overdue ediTOriAL BOArd In the Oct. 20 issue of the UDK, Mr. Dopf responded to my cri- tique of his economic persuasions. Now, Id like to start by saying that I wish I could make as many mun- dane innuendos, personal attacks and long-winded obfuscations as Mr. Dopf, but the UDKs word- limit on editorial letters prevents me from doing so. So, Ill just focus on the relevant aspects of his article and refrain from making an emotional diatribe. Mr. Dopf frst accused me of making a straw-man; in other words, he stated that my critique of his article was irrelevant to his argument. Now, I understand that the straw-man fallacy is very prevalent, given that individuals like to misconstrue their oppo- nents arguments in order to prop up themselves. However, its very difcult to accuse someone of committing a straw-man when he uses a direct quotation from his opponents argument to illus- trate a point. If I recall correctly, Mr. Dopf stated, Obamas not a socialist, hes a Neo-Keynesian. Now, Mr. Dopf, forgive me if I misinterpreted your statement, but in saying Obamas not a socialist but a Neo-Keynesian, it appeared that you thought the two macro- economic theories were divergent or unrelated. I merely pointed out the profound infuence 19th cen- tury mercantilism had on Keyness General Teory (which makes it impossible for someone to be a Keynesian but not a socialist). Furthermore, Id like to state that your breadth of knowledge concerning Keynesianism is some- what lacking. Keyness GT is not just stimulus spendingis more efective at job creation than tax cuts. Keynes thought that taxing the private sector (heavily) and then redistributing collected capi- tal (by creating bureaus, special in- terests, entitlement programs, etc.) would lead to a higher rate of em- ployment and economic growth than if such capital remained in the private sector (this, of course, is an economic fallacy, given that capital is not stagnant when it re- mains in the private sector; banks lend money at interest and the stock market prevents capital from remaining unused). In response to Mr. Dopf s closing remarks, I would like to state that collectivism is not simply anything that diverges from anarchy or laissez-faire capitalism. In the socio-political context, collectivists are those who favor heavy taxation, government spending and extensive control of the market by planning boards. Also, in my defense of your personal attacks, I would like to inform you that I have never read Ayn Rand nor watched an episode of Glenn Beck (I dont own a TV).

Chatterbox Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com N ight falls earlier, the air is chillier, and the leaves are changing from green to shades of red, orange and yellow. Fall is here and summer is over. Its time to put away our warm weather clothes in exchange for sweaters, scarves, mittens and coats. But as the seasons change, it is not only important to change the style of your clothes, but to also change their colors to ft the season. However, an outfts colors can do a lot more that match the seasons. Color is a great tool for expressing ourselves through what were wearing. Seasonal Shades A general guide to wearing the right colors for a certain season is the shades of the seasons themselves. In fall, the shades of leaves make a stunning palette for any wardrobe. In winter, the gray skies and dry air call for dark grays, blacks and navy. Pops of color like red or fuchsia look great against snow. In the spring, wear bright, cheery pastels to imitate the trees and fowers as they blossom. In summer wear bright colors like the clear blue sky, green grass and bright sun. Matching Colors Matching colors doesnt take a lot of thought. Pair pieces togeth- er with colors that compliment each other and avoid clashing. Colors clash when they compete for attention, meaning, theyre too bold, bright or diferent to wear together. Classic color pairs are navy and red, black and white and brown and cream. A well known clashing combination is red and green, unless its the holiday season. Attitude Hues Te colors of your outft can also express what youre feeling, and give your outft attitude. When youre in a cheerful mood, wear bright colors like yellow or green. When youre in a somber mood, wear toned down colors like tan or maroon. Black tradi- tionally expresses dark feelings, and red can say youre angry or excited. But when you put them together you create a staple combination that says, I have arrived. When choosing colors to reveal your mood, go with whatever hues youre attracted to at that moment. Your attitude will guide you in choosing the perfect colors to express what you want to say. Monochromatic Styles A monochromatic outft, or wearing entirely one color, can make a bold statement when done right, but can be over- whelming in certain shades. When going for a classic monochromatic look, wear basic colors like white, gray, brown and navy. Wearing all black is a time- less urban style. An outft made of one, simple color looks clear and well put together, but wear- ing one bright color, like all lime green or hot pink, is too much for the eye. When pairing diferent pieces of same color, make sure theyre all the same shade. Tere is an infnite number of blacks, and in order to achieve a sleek, cohesive look, all the blacks you wear must be similar. As you wash clothes, the colors fade. Wash clothes of the same color together, so they stay the same shade. Have fun with color and you can express the way you feel. Colors lets you control what your outft says about you. Play with color and allow your outft to express your personality. Esposito is a junior from Leawood in journalism and flm. The Hemline By Alex esposito aesposito@kansan.com night owls fall behind College is a wonderful time of new experiences and adventures. Late nights of studying during the week ofen set the tone for a weekend of late night recreation. Combine this with an early class schedule and you fnd a majority of college students that are sleep deprived. We have all known people who are more active at diferent times of the day. Tere are morning people, who dont need cafeine to get them moving and wear smiles that make a sleepy person want to vomit. Tere are also night owls, who prefer to avoid the sun and keep morning people up with loud music at 3 a.m. With deadlines in multiple classes piling up and no way to ignore the need to sleep, students ofen turn to unhealthy methods of staying awake. In her 2008 study in Biological Rhythm Research on college students, Dr. Nancy Digdon explored the dif- ferences in coping mechanisms for sleepiness between night owls and those who are neither night owls nor morning people. Dr. Digdon found that night owls tended to use coping methods that were less condu- cive to good sleeping patterns. Tey rated napping and cofee as the top two methods of coping, while the more neutral sleepers rated exercise and spending time outdoors as more efective. If you know you are a night owl and nothing will change it, try implementing a workout routine. Start with 30 minutes of jogging or biking a day. It could mean the diference between a wasted day of grogginess and a productive day, eliminating the stress of work on the weekend. And if all else fails, make sure you dont schedule any early morning classes. UWIRE. Anthony Bryson from the BG News at Bowling Green State University. GuesT COLuMn 6A / SPORTS / fridAy, october 22, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / kAnsAn.com After disappointing Big 12 start, Kansas refocuses for Iowa State By Ian CummIngs icummings@kansan.com Kansas is looking for a fresh start to the second half of confer- ence play with a rematch against No.12 Iowa State (14-4 overall, 7-3 Big 12) on Saturday in Ames, Iowa. In their last meeting on Oct. 9, the Jayhawks upset the then-No.10 Cyclones in a four-setter for the Jayhawks first-ever victory over a top-10 opponent. Since then, Iowa State has dropped two spots in the national rankings and Kansas (13- 8, 4-6 Big 12) has suffered two bit- ter losses against Oklahoma and Texas in Lawrence. Sophomore middle blocker Tayler Tolefree played big in the Oct. 9 win against the Cyclones, recording 11 kills with an efficien- cy of .667, the best of any player in the match. Tolefree said the team is looking to change their momentum in the latter half of Big 12 play. This is the last 10 games, poten- tially, she said. So how can we start off right so that we push our- selves and get us in a good posi- tion? The Jayhawks have gotten off to strong starts in their past two matches, only to see the contests slip away in successive sets. Kansas hit for an efficiency of .237 in the opening set against Oklahoma on Oct. 16, but those numbers dropped to -.032 and .154 in the second and third sets. Oklahoma scored 13 more kills than Kansas in the three sets and kept their hitting percentage above .350 throughout, sweeping the match. Texas was the new No. 10 com- ing to Lawrence on Wednesday and its offense was even more dominant than Oklahomas. The Longhorns hit for more than .400 in all three sets and out-blocked Kansas around nine to three. As in the Oklahoma game, Kansas started out with a good hitting percentage .333 but could not sustain the effort. Kansas defense kept Iowa State to a hitting percentage of .182 in the last match, but the Cyclones offense has picked up steam with a win over the Colorado Buffaloes in a four-setter on Wednesday. Colorado outside hitter Victoria Henson reached a season-high 24 kills, making the 24th match for her to record 10 or more. She also added 16 digs for her eighth dou- ble-double of the season. Outside hitter Carly Jenson also posted a double-double with 15 kills and 15 digs, and sophomore middle block- er Jamie Straube added 13 kills to the effort. The Cyclones finished the match with a hitting percentage of .338 the first time they had hit better than .300 since their victory over Oklahoma on Sept. 25. Coach Ray Bechard said the number one task for Kansas was to keep their opponents offense from being as successful as Oklahoma and Texas. Part of that is serving tough, and taking them out of what they want to do, he said. So thatll be our focus, obviously, before we head to Iowa State. A record of 4-6 was not what the team had hoped for in the first half of conference play, but Bechard said that he was hopeful that the Jayhawks could reverse those numbers. We get up into the 18, 19, 20 win range, we think weve got a chance, he said, and thats what well be striving for each and every day. Edited by Joel Petterson KANSAS VS.

LOCAL FAVORITES for the 2010 Top of the Hi l l assOCIaTED PREss SAN FRANCISCO Doc got the best of The Freak this time in a rematch of aces. Roy Halladay pitched through a groin pull, outdueling Tim Lincecum and keeping the Philadelphia Phillies alive in the NL championship series with a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Thursday night. Jayson Werths solo homer in the ninth quieted the raucous sellout crowd of 43,713, and many fans began making for the exits even before Philadelphia pulled within 3-2 in the best-of-seven series. Halladays bunt which appeared to be foul helped spark a three-run third inning, when Shane Victorino drove in the first of two runs that scored on a field- ing error by first baseman Aubrey Huff. Placido Polanco followed with an RBI single, and the two-time reign- ing NL champions forced a Game 6 back home in Citizens Bank Park on Saturday and another cross- country trip. Jonathan Sanchez starts for the Giants against Roy Oswalt, who is 10-0 in 12 starts at Philadelphia this year. Philadelphia put San Franciscos celebration on hold. The Giants now must win once in two tries at Philly for the franchises fourth pennant since moving West in 1958. San Francisco has not been to the World Series since the Giants Barry Bonds-led team lost Game 7 to the Angels in 2002. Philadelphia will try to become the 12th team to rally from a 3-1 deficit in a best-of-seven series. KANSAN.COM / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010 / SPORTS / 7A BY JACKSON DELAY jdelay@kansan.com This weekend, the Jayhawks will face Nebraska on the road, in one of last Big 12 conferences matches of the season. The team will finish up the season on Monday when it plays Colorado. Kansas is 1-7 in conference play. However, junior forward Kortney Clifton thinks that some of those losses are a result of the ball not bouncing Kansas way. Of course we are disappointed, because we think we should get better results than that, Clifton said. We are working really hard and things seem to not be going our way. I feel like we have done a lot of things right, its just like one little thing that doesnt go our way. Kansas has been on the losing end of some close games; six of their seven Big 12 losses have been by two goals or fewer. Sundays match was symbolic of how the season has gone. Kansas battled Baylor in a physi- cal game that reached double overtime, only to have a foul called against a Kansas defend- er. Coach Mark Francis clearly disagreed with the call. Baylor con- verted the penalty shot, abruptly ending the game. Despite the end to Sundays game, Francis said, the team came out and showed good energy. Sophomore forward Whitney Berry, who leads the team with 55 shots, was seen practicing with a cast on her arm this week. She was on the wrong end of a collision on Sunday, in which she chipped a bone and separated a ligament, but said she would play this week- end. Clifton said the team would still be moti- vated despite its last place rank- ing in the Big 12 and four-game losing streak. Especially for our seniors, this is their last go at it. We want to work for each other and get some wins, she said. Francis also thinks his team is motivated. You would think they would be motivated to stop [the four game losing streak] and get a win. Especially playing Nebraska, they are always a rival for us, he said. In order to finish strong, the Jayhawks will have to upset a Nebraska team thats no stranger to scoring. Nebraska is second in the Big 12 in shots, assists and points, and is tied for second with 39 goals. Morgan Marlborough has been a big part of Nebraskas offensive success, leading the Big 12 in near- ly every offensive category. Kansas has 12 goals overall this year, while Marlborough alone has 16. Obviously shes dangerous, Francis said. Shes a good player and theyve got a couple of good offensive players. Shes good in the air too, so weve got to make sure we are competing and challenging for stuff in the air with her. Throughout the season, Kansas has scored eight goals in the second half, compared to only four in the first half. In order to beat Nebraska, Francis said his team would have to play well both halves. [Nebraska] plays really hard, physical and they are all over you. They come out and play hard all the time, he said. We cant afford to come out at the beginning of the game and be haphazard. We have to come out and compete. Clifton said that her team could do only one thing at this point. Continue to do what we can and compete as hard as we can and want it more than the other team, she said.

KANSAN.COM / THe UniVerSiTY DAiLY KAnSAn / FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2010 / SPorTS / 9A A s the fnal series in the Fall Classic nears, baseball is faced again with the controversy of the designated hitter rule. Te speculation of the clear American League advantage could be easily sidelined if the MLB would once and for all banish DHs. All the rule does is give burned out players two or three extra years of batting practice to increase, or, in some cases, decrease their hitting statistics. Perhaps this rule is why American League teams have won 21 of the 36 World Series played since the DH rule was instituted. General managers know that if it werent for this rule players such as Jim Tome, Jack Cust and Travis Hafner would no longer have careers in the majors. At one point all three of those players were studs, but their days of highlight reel defen- sive plays are long gone and all that remains is their muscle strength to power the ball out of the park. Some DHs have pinch runners take over their place if they reach base to produce a better scoring chance. While this is legal, it is a dishonor to the game. Players should be responsible for helping their teams on both ofense and defense. Te rule is a joke in its simplest form. Pitchers should have a chance to make up runs that they let up. It is unfair that a pitcher, who may not be a great hitter, can have proven batters take his place in the lineup. Te idea that the DH rule protects pitchers is a sham. Pitchers are given plenty of days of to recuperate; the least they could do on ofense is place a bunt down every three innings to help their team every fve days. Pitchers are the focal point of all baseball games. To have a pitcher be a threat on both sides of the ball only makes the game more interesting. In a world where a Monday Night Football game between Jacksonville and Tennessee gets a higher overnight rating than an ALCS game, something needs to be done to spark fan interest. Eliminating the DH rule would do just that. Dont get me wrong I love the home runs these players knock out of the park. But I would be way more impressed if a pitcher did it. Without this rule, players like Carlos Zambrano become a higher commodity than Johnny Damon. Te MLB needs to review the DH rule and bring baseball back to its original form. From my standpoint the Giants and Phil- lies are better overall teams than the Rangers and the Yankees, but I would not be surprised one bit if the AL wins the World Series. Afer all, the millions of dollars that are spent on burned out superstar hitters pay dividends when it counts. Its just too bad for the Na- tional League. Edited by Alex Tretbar Markief out for a week after hernia Junior forward Markief Mor- ris underwent hernia surgery yesterday, and it will keep him out of practice for seven to 10 days, according to coach Bill Self. Markief is having the most minor of surgeries,Self said in a release. You never want guys to miss any time, but were prob- ably talking about missing seven days of practice. He should be able to run and shoot within days, be full-speed within seven to 10 days. Self said there will be two rest days during Morris recovery, so hell only miss seven days of practice. If all goes as planned, Morris should be ready to go when the Jayhawks open the season Nov. 2 at Allen Fieldhouse. Corey Thibodeaux MenS BASKeTBALL Mk. Morris Sands arrested, posts $441 bond KU running back Deshaun Sands was arrested Thursday morning on outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court. Two warrants were issued for Sands after he missed court appearances stemming from separate traf- fic violations this summer. The first was from June 29 when Sands failed to provide a valid drivers license or insurance. The second incident occurred on August 6 when he was suspected of speeding. Sands posted the two separate bonds totaling $441 and was released later Thursday morning. Kory Carpenter Recruits ignore KU for OSU and Baylor Thursday was a big day for Big 12 recruiting. Just not for the Kansas Jayhawks. No. 4 recruit in the country LeBryan Nash sported a foppy orange cowboy hat as he com- mitted to play for Oklahoma State and coach Travis Ford. Nashs half- brother Byron Eaton also played at the school. He chose Oklahoma State over Kansas and Baylor, who pulled two commitments despite missing Nash.

Islanders win after ofcials review play TAMPA, Fla. Matt Moulson scored a delayed, video-reviewed goal in overtime to give the New York Islanders a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night. Moulson was credited with an in-close goal at 1:56. Ofcials reviewing the play ruled that the puck went of the glove of goalie Dan Ellis and completely over the goal line before Ellis swiped the puck back into play. The review, which occurred at the next stoppage of play at 3:28 of overtime, took about 10 minutes. Michael Grabner and Pierre Parenteau also scored for the Islanders. The Lightning got goals from Sean Bergenheim and Martin St. Louis. Associated Press nHL CorreCTion SportS THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Friday, OCTOBEr 22, 2010 www.kansan.COm PaGE 10a Kansas will play Nebraska on the road this weekend, followed by Colorado on Monday. The Jayhawks are 1-7 in conference play after a rough loss to Baylor in overtime last Sunday. Jayhawks face last Big 12 games Soccer | 7a BY TIM DWYER tdwyer@kansan.com Bill Self knows he has a talented player on his hands with Marcus Morris. Hes a 6-foot-8, fuid, ath- letic shooter. Its easy to draw com- parisons between Morris and Paul Pierce, the last Jayhawk with that kind of size and a guards ability on the outside. Whoa. Self will stop you right there. He put up his hands as a caution when a local media man made the comparison. Well. I dont know if Id go that far, Self said. Pauls a Hall of Famer. But hes a player like that, from being able to utilize his size inside, but also be as much of a perimeter player as he is. Most anyone who has tried has projected this starting lineup for Kansas: Josh Selby at the point, Ty- shawn Taylor as the two-guard, Ma- rio Little at the three, and Marcus and Markief Morris at power for- ward and center, respectively. Tose fve players may be right, but the positions may not be. Te door is wide open for Marcus Morris to be the starter at the three with the 6-foot-6, 218-pound Little manning the four spot. Little played most of his minutes in the 2008-09 season as an undersized power for- ward, and Self has said he likes the matchup problems Little creates. Well play him on the perimeter as a four man, Self said. What I can see is posting him, and playing Marcus on the perimeter, so you get Marcus big man on the perimeter and you can post a guard. Tat lineup would allow Morris to use his uncharacteristic athleti- cism and shooting range to create a mismatch against a power forward, while Little could use his above av- erage size to back down a smaller guard inside. Morris said Littles ability to score from anywhere on the court is what makes him dangerous enough for the role. Mario is the best scorer we have, hands down, the best natural scorer that we have, Morris said. Rio can score down low, he can shoot the ball real well. Hes probably the best natural scorer in the league. Self said he has looked at both Little and 6-foot-5 sophomore Tra- vis Releford as options in that line- up, but with the Jef Witheys injury and Markief Morris hernia surgery yesterday, Marcus hasnt seen much time at the three. Were so beat up, Self said. With Withey out and now with Keef out, we just dont have guys to practice. For the moment though, Self isnt sure what his best options are and he said he may not have a set eight-man rotation until the Big 12 season be- gins in January. It probably wont shake out total- ly til we know what Josh is doing, he said. If we could have our rota- tion set by Big 12 play, Id be happy about that. EditedbyLisaCurran BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com For Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman and Kansas coach Turner Gill, its a long way from the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field. Sherman was the Green Bay Packers coach for six seasons, and he hired Gill as the Director of Player Development in 2005. After meeting Gill, Sherman was immediately impressed. I felt he could relate well to the players and coaches, Sherman said. He is full of integrity. Five years later, the two coaches are in the Big 12 Conference, Gill in his first season with the Jayhawks and Sherman in his third with the Aggies. Both teams have struggled through the first half of the season and both are still looking for their first conference win. The Aggies started the season strong with three consecutive wins, but have dropped the last three, including confer- ence losses to Oklahoma State and Missouri. Kansas has faced simi- lar adversity, dropping the last two games by a combined score of 114- 14. Freshman safety Keeston Terry will miss another week with a leg injury he suffered in the sec- ond half loss to Southern Miss. Gill confirmed the decision after Wednesdays practice. Hes still having trouble. He wont be ready for this ballgame, he said. Well have to make the decision next week if hes able to go or not. Terry played a large part in the upset of Georgia Tech, recording five tackles in the 28-25 Kansas win. His absence the last three games has been noted, as the Kansas defense has given up an average of 43 points per game. If those performances are repeat- ed Saturday night in Memorial Stadium, Homecoming week for KU fans might end on a sour note, as the Aggie offense is 10th in the nation in passing yards per game with an average of 305 per contest. Texas A&M senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson has ruled the air for the Aggies this season. Hes aver- aged 43 passes a game, including a staggering 62 attempts in the loss to Oklahoma State. Johnson is also second in the Big 12 in total offense, second only to Baylors Robert Griffin III. However, Johnson is capable of making bad decisions. His nine interceptions so far this season are more than he threw all of last season. The three straight losses by the Aggies could be a sign of hope for Jayhawk fans. However, last week Kansas State came to town after an embarrassing loss as well. All they did was put up 460 yards of offense while beating the downtrodden Jayhawks 59-7. On offense, Kansas has failed to put up double digits in Big 12 play, only scoring 14 points the last two games. Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb is in his first season running the Jayhawk offense, and it has shown recently. After starting his season with only one intercep- tion in four games, he has thrown three in the last two losses. With the offense struggling to score points, Gill didnt rule out the idea of calling a few trick plays Saturday night. We always have some plays like that in the game plan, he said Its just about finding an opportunity to execute them. Gill said he wants to have the lead early to call a trick play like a reverse or half-back pass, but that obviously hasnt been the case the last two games. Saturdays loser will be 0-3 in the Big 12, with big games still remain- ing in conference for each squad. Texas A&M still plays Oklahoma and Texas while the Jayhawks have yet to play Nebraska or Missouri. A win by either team would give the respective squad much needed momentum heading into the sec- ond half of the season. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. Edited by Abby Davenport Little, Morris create mismatches on court F rank Martin is not paying attention to the hype his Wildcats have gotten this season. He didnt pay attention to the media four years ago when it said he sucked as a coach. Fans shouldnt look at the pre- season rankings because Martin isnt. He talks about it with his team but doesnt want the pressure com- ing from anywhere but the Kansas State locker room. Martin said he is fattered that his team was picked to fnish frst in the Big 12 conference because that means other coaches, his peers, think he is doing something right. From just listening to Mar- tin talk Tursday afernoon, he is doing a lot of things right in Manhattan. He has lost guys like Michael Beasley and Bill Walker, but he has replaced them. According to Martin, there isnt a problem replacing the numbers. Somebody will step up the next season and contribute, but its replacing the character that is the most difcult. I think the number one reason Kansas was not selected frst was because of the loss of Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry. How do people expect the Jayhawks to win when they lose the winningest player in program history, a big man who bailed any- body out on defense and a versatile scorer? Its what coach Bill Self calls Kansas Math. Its the same thing Martin does, but in Manhattan. Its addition by subtraction. Its not like the NBA where guys can play for the same team from their rookie season to retirement. Guys come and go their frst year or stay for four, but in the end they will be replaced. On paper Kansas State looks like the favorite, but Martin lives in reality and winning on paper doesnt cut it for him. His main goal when he became the coach was to win the Big 12 Championship. He has yet to do that because Kansas has won it the last six seasons. Martin says that this is Kansas conference because of its domi- nance. Nobody has beat them on the foor, which is where you decide who wins, Martin said. Tis is true. Since the 2007-2008 season, when Martin was hired as the Wildcat coach, Kansas has a 42-6 record. Kansas State is 30-18. But Self does not live in the past. He thinks its difcult to win a national title and its even more difcult to repeat. He is hungry for another title. He doesnt look at the preseason polls either. When asked about receiving two frst-place votes, he had no idea that Kansas received two votes. I dont think coaches really care about preseason polls and awards. Tey dont mean anything if the team isnt cutting down the net in April.
