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.

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.

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.

For decades, the Crown Victoria
might as well have been called the
Cop Car but not anymore.
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.

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.

The School of Pharmacy on
West Campus will be dedicated
today.
The ceremony will be at 11

the building.
The ceremo-
ny is part of the
schools 125th
a n n i v e r s a r y

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

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

After surviving Civil War raids
and 20th century economic con-
flicts, historic Massachusetts
Street is finally getting some rec-
ognition.
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.

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.

Fall presents opportunities
to use color in new ways
FAsHiOn
T
he much-needed
renovation of the elevators
in Wescoe Hall has begun
but has still not been completed.
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Sands arrested,

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

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.
Baylor landed No. 5 recruit
Quincy Miller and No. 43 recruit
Deuce Bello, high school team-
mates and roommates in North
Carolina. Neither player was con-
sidering Kansas, though Miller did
have a message for the rest of the
Big 12 on the ESPNU broadcast.
Were going to be the best
next year,he said.

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

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.

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.

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.
