Controversy surrounding Four
Loko may cause the drink to lose
its buzz. Literally.
Phusion Projects, the company
that makes Four Loko, announced
Tuesday that it would remove the
stimulants caffeine, guarana and
taurine from its beverages nation-
wide. The company will produce
only non-caffeinated Four Loko
drinks from now on.
Four Loko is sold in a 23.5-
ounce can, has an alcohol content
of 12 percent by volume and con-
tains 135 milligrams of caffeine.
Thats the same amount of alco-
hol in four to five beers and the
caffeine content of a Red Bull and
an espresso shot.
However, the companys found-
ers still arent convinced their
product is unsafe for consumers.
If it were unsafe, popular
drinks like rum and colas or Irish
coffees that have been consumed
safely and responsibly for years
would face the same scrutiny that
our products have recently faced,
the founders said in a statement
on their website.
The companys statement said
if Four Loko was unsafe, the
Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau,
the federal bureau that approves
alcoholic beverages, should not
have approved the products.

History of
controversy
Nationally, Four Loko isnt the
only drink causing worry.
The Food and Drug
Administration recently
announced it was warning four
companies that produce caffein-
ated, alcoholic beverages that
their products are unsafe.
The FDA has been examining
these products since November
2009 and concluded that caffeine
is an unsafe food additive.
Health officials have raised
concerns about mixing caffeine
and alcohol. Jenny McKee, health
educator at the Wellness Resource
Center at Watkins Memorial
Health Center, said that mixing
the two can lead to problems.
Caffeine is a stimulant and
alcohol is a depressant. The two
have opposite effects.
Alcohol slows down bodily
functions like heart rate and
breathing while caffeine increas-
es heart rate and alertness. The
combination could potentially be
heart stopping, McKee said.
The popularity of caffeinated,
alcoholic beverages, also known
as CABs, has grown significantly
in recent years. According to the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, two popular CAB
brands had a 67-fold increase in
sales from 2002 to 2008.
Scrutiny over Four Loko first
started in mid-October after the
drink sent college students in
Washington and New Jersey to
the hospital after consuming large
quantities of the drink. The blood
alcohol content of the students
ranged from 0.12 percent to 0.35
percent. According to bloodal-
coholcontent.org, a BAC level of
0.40 can be lethal for more than
half of adults.
Following these incidents, sev-
eral states made moves to ban
the drink. Lawmakers in New
York City and Pennsylvania
started asking liquor stores to
remove Four Loko from their
shelves. The beverage has been
officially banned in four states:
Washington, Michigan, Utah and
Oklahoma.
Freda Warfield, a spokesperson
for the Kansas Alcoholic Beverage
Control, said the state had been
monitoring Four Loko closely.
We will take any actions nec-
essary to keep our Kansas safe,
Warfield said.
However, in order to ban
the drink in Kansas, legislation
would need to be passed. The
Kansas Legislature reconvenes
January 11.

reaction
McKee said the drinks could
pose health risks even if they
do not contain caffeine. She said
that some people still might not
understand how much alcohol
the drinks have, especially Four
Loko.
A problem, McKee said, is that
one container isnt one drink.
If it has three to four drinks,
spend three to four hours sipping
on it, she said.
Mike Hathaway, manager of
Cork and Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd
St., said he expects a spike in sales
as a result of Four Loko going
decaf.
I suspect that sales will go
through the roof here until theyre
all gone, he said.
Brad Wandell, a junior from
Ellicott City, Md., said hes sur-
prised by the controversy. He said
he has been drinking Four Loko
for about six months, but never
had any problems with the caf-
feine and alcohol combination.
Wandell said he would still drink
Four Loko because he cares more
about the alcohol content than
the caffeine.
But some think that removing
the caffeine will cause the drink
to lose popularity.
Jake Liston, a junior from
Kansas City, Mo., said hes never
tried Four Loko, but there were
smashed Four Loko cans in front
of his house this weekend.
So, it looks like peo-
ple are having fun
with it, he said.
Liston said
he thought the
buzz around
Four Loko
would die down
soon.
But its only
a matter of time
before another
product will
replace it, he
said.

TOPEKA Matt Adair was
more than just a friend. He was
more than a son. And he was more
than an older brother.
To Phil Cole,
one of Matts
closest friends,
he was the
greatest man
that ever lived.
No one in the
congregation at
his funeral on
Saturday morn-
ing seemed to
object.
More than 200 people came to
Westminster Presbyterian Church
in Matts hometown to mourn his
tragic and sudden death.
Matt, a 21-year-old former KU
student, was found dead in his off-
campus apartment early Tuesday
morning after an apparent suicide.
The Rev. Junie Ewing best cap-
tured the overwhelming emotions
of the occasion.
We love him, were mad at him
and we miss him, she said to a
somber congregation of Matts
closest friends and family. Its just
so hard losing someone as young
and vibrant as
Matt.
She described
Matt as the life
of the party,
someone who
made friends
wherever he
went. The rows
of friends who
filled the pews
made that much
clear. What remained unclear
was how theyd move on without
a friend who always put others
before himself.
Theres going to be a hole in a
lot of our hearts for a while, includ-
ing mine, said Cole, a senior from
Boston. Matt was a huge part of
all of our lives. He left a hole thats
going to be difficult to fill.
The circumstances of Matts
death make filling that hole all the
more difficult. Ashley Brown, one
of Matts closest friends from high
school, expressed her frustrations
in a poem she recited from the
lectern:
A permanent result has me
utterly convinced, you have no idea
how much youd be missed/At ease
you must be, Ill never understand,
whatever blinded you from seeing
our hands/The hands of those who
loved you so, it wasnt even close
for your time to go.
Matts father, Jeff, suggested
those close to Matt could make his
life count for something by mak-
ing a difference in someone elses
life. Thats what Matt would do.
Whether he was helping his
great-grandfather in the yard or
lending an ear to a troubled friend,
Matt was always there when friends
and family needed him most. He
was kind and selfless, compassion-
ate and reliable.
Jeff said bracelets should have
been made: What Would Matt
Adair Do?
He touched everybodys heart
in this room, he said. I just want
everyone to leave here with a piece
of him and make a difference.
In a brief moment of comic relief
during an otherwise somber occa-
sion, Cole told the story of a time
last summer when Matt suddenly
appeared at his house. Cole never
knew what to expect from Matt
his rashness was a part of his
appeal.
Do you like corn? Cole said he
remembered Matt asking.
Hesitantly, Cole told Matt, Sure.
Who doesnt?
Thats all
Matt needed
to hear to con-
vince Cole
to sneak into
every corn-
field they could
find around
Lawrence. They
took as many
ears of corn as
they could carry before returning
to Coles house.
Of course they didnt do it for the
corn, Cole said. They did it to cre-
ate a new and outrageous memory
together. The laughter that filled
the church meant everyone under-
stood at least that much.
Matt was an effortless comedian
and everyones favorite jokester.
Even in death, memories such
as Coles could still make people
laugh.
Were all going to miss Matt,
Cole said. A day is never going
to go by that I dont think about
him.

The Beatles are still here, there
and everywhere. News last week
that the band's catalog finally
would be available on iTunes
made the front page of the New
York Times. The "Glee" kids are
making a whole new generation
swoon over "I Want to Hold Your
Hand." Paul McCartney will be
lauded next month during the
Kennedy Center Honors. Fans are
stealing bricks from Ringo Starr's
soon-to-be demolished boyhood
home.
But none of the boys is causing
as much of a stir as John Lennon,
who would have turned 70 last
month and was shot to death on
Dec. 8, 1980.
A new 11-CD box set of his
solo albums should be a holiday
favorite. A coin with his iconic
image was recently issued by the
UK Royal Mint, beating out such
luminaries as Jane Austen and Sir
Walter Raleigh. The indie film
"Nowhere Boy," which focused
on his unorthodox relationship
with his mother, received melodic
reviews on the art-house circuit.
In August, his former toilet went
for $14,740 at an auction.
But despite our never-ending
fascination with the legend, he
remains about as hard to decipher
as the lyrics to "I Am the Walrus,"
as evidenced by two wildly differ-
ent TV projects, "Lennon Naked"
and "LENNONYC."
"Naked," an installment of
"Masterpiece Contemporary," pri-
marily deals with Lennon's daddy
issues and the fact that he felt
abandoned as a child. Christopher
Eccelston ("Doctor Who") plays
the title character with both a
trumped-up accent and atti-
tude, slicing apart everyone who
stands in his way. He belittles wife
Cynthia, tried-and-true manager
Brian Epstein,
l o n g - l o s t
father Freddie
(a very good
C h r i s t o p h e r
Fairbank), an
unseen Brigitte
Bardot and his
bandmates, who
come across as
so cuddly they
could have been
portrayed by the Muppets.
Even his budding relationship
with Yoko Ono (Naoko Mori)
can't melt the brittle Beatle. Could
it be that writer Robert Jones and
director Edmund Coulhard prefer
Paul's silly love songs?
The "American Masters" docu-
mentary "LENNONYC," which
picks up where "Naked" leaves
us the couple's move to New
York City is a much more sym-
pathetic piece. No surprise there,
since Ono cooperated with the
production.
Through director/writer
Michael Epstein's lens, Lennon
comes across as a martyr in his
home country who finally got the
freedom and respect from fans
that he deserved when he moved
to the States even as the U.S.
government tried to have him
deported. Marquee names, includ-
ing Elton John and Dick Cavett,
speak lovingly of their friend and
offer insights into his personal
and professional life. (One tidbit:
"Mind Games"
was originally
called "Make
Love Not
War.")
That's not
to say the film
is a white-
wash. Ono
and Lennon's
t e mp o r a r y
lover May
Pang speak openly about his "lost
weekend" in Los Angeles in the
mid-'70s, when he succumbed to
drugs, drink and eventually heart-
break over cheating on his wife.
It also doesn't hesitate to suggest
that Lennon's last works bordered
on mediocrity.
It's not the most revealing or
even-handed of portraits for
that, I would recommend Philip
Norman's book "John Lennon:
The Life" but it comes across
as more honest and heartfelt than
"Naked."
Diehard fans, however, may
be better off skipping all these
biopics, and getting lost in
Lennon's music instead. Maybe
that's the only Lennon we need to
know or will get to know.

ST LOUIS If Miles Davis
had stopped making music in
the 1950s, he would be remem-
bered as one of the most eloquent
and influential trumpeters in jazz.
But Davis, who grew up in East
St. Louis, was also a visionary
who wasn't afraid to shake things
up and didn't believe in looking
back. Beginning in the late 1960s,
that meant venturing beyond
acoustic post-bop jazz to explore
the improvisational possibilities
of rock.
Considering his admiration
for the music of Jimi Hendrix, it
wasn't surprising that Davis' new
musical strategy involved the gui-
tar. With its gift for rocking out,
the instrument was invaluable
in bridging the gap between his
aging jazz base and his emerging
youthful audience.
John McLaughlin played gui-
tar on the trumpeter's ground-
breaking 1970 recording "Bitches
Brew." McLaughlin, whose latest
group, 4th Dimension, includes
keyboardist Gary Husband, bass
guitarist Etienne M'Bappe and
drummer Mark Mondesir, said
Davis "was so loose, but cryptic.
He was like a Zen master."
Boldly experimental, the dou-
ble studio album was a jazz-fusion
milestone, selling more than
500,000 copies and earning Davis
his first gold record. Jazz pur-
ists balked at the electric instru-
mentation and rock-influenced
rhythms, and dismissed "Bitches
Brew" as a commercial move. The
trumpeter's 1969 fusion album,
"In a Silent Way," had been simi-
larly criticized.
In recent decades, acous-
tic improvisation in the style of
Davis' classic 1959 album "Kind
of Blue" has largely retaken the
jazz spotlight.

Pay freeze stings, yet
may be unavoidable
ediTOriAL
I am not one to complain, but
the situation with McCollum right
now has become unacceptable.
Tere is mold growing on the pipes
in our rooms. Many of the girls in
my wing have had serious respira-
tory infections while they have
been at KU this year and it was said
that the cause of them was more
than likely the state of our rooms.
And contrary to what the main-
tenance crew may think, painting
over the mold, or duct taping it,
will not make it go away.
Tere are also severe leakage
problems with the pipes exposed
in our room, causing many of our
personal items to not be salvage-
able. Our showers not only do
not turn of all the way, causing
dripping all night and overall more
money for the school to pay for the
water bill, but it has also become a
weekly occurrence that we do not
have hot water in our showers. I
am not just referring to lukewarm
water, I am speaking of unbearably
cold water that is painful to stand
under.
I am not asking for McCollum to
be a Ritz Carlton. I am just saying
for the amount of money that we
pay to come here and stay in the
dorms, for it to be in livable condi-
tion. It is truly a health hazard in
the condition its in. Rather than
renovating GSP, which is not nearly
in as bad condition as us, next year,
I, along with everyone who is cur-
rently living in McCollum believe
that you should really invest in
fxing the real problems at a dorm
that houses 900 of KUs students.
It is said that McCollum wont be
renovated until 2013. I personally
am afraid for the health of anyone
who is planning on living here in
the next three years ... if its this bad
now, I would hate to see it in the
future without renovation.

As much as I sympathize with your example, she did break the

knew enough not to dance at a gay club or go on TV and declare
your sexuality. She essentially went out in public and announced
herself as a lesbian. It also does look like someone was out to get her
but then join the club. The rules that the military lives by a strict set

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
A
s a result of the $100
million budget cuts to
state funding to higher
learning, it was announced that
Kansas public universities pay
levels for faculty would remain
frozen for the third straight
year in a row. With the current
funding difculties, Chancel-
lor Bernadette Gray-Little has
now promised to push for salary
increases for next years budget.
It was agreed upon by fve
other regents institutions that
a plan needed to be fgured in
order to increase the salaries.
Another avenue university
leaders have discussed is the
possibility of increasing student
tuition to help compensate for
the signifcantly smaller budget.
Te idea of the funding burden
being passed onto students isnt
a new concept, but at same time,
the state cant keep resorting to
having students pay for so much
of the universities costs.
Understandably and right-
fully so, pay freezes are extremely
tough on faculty, but in times like
these when the economy is down
all over the nation, it may be a
necessary route. However, in-
creases every so ofen are needed
so that staf morale remains high
and the University remains an at-
tractive place of employment. Te
lack of pay level increases also
could create potential problems
in recruiting and retaining faculty
as well.
Students should have the op-
portunity to learn from the best
and to have consistent faculty
who they can beneft from. It is
important that the University
upholds a competitive edge and
maintains its status as a desir-
able place to work and get an
education. Hopefully, Gray-Little
and other university leaders can
succeed in their push for pay
increases, so it does not end up
coming out of students pockets.
Te specifc details on salary
increases and their potential
sources will be determined in
January by the Legislature and
when the Kansas universities
bring their budgets to the Board
of Regents in the Spring of 2011.

U
nderstandably, Tanksgiv-
ing can be a dreadful time
of year for vegetarians.
Afer all, its traditional to celebrate
by having a turkey dinner; but it
is possible for both carnivores and
herbivores to enjoy Tanksgiving
festivities together.
During my childhood, I lived
in colorful Colorado, and ate elk
and trout that my dad brought
home afer his hunting and fshing
expeditions. My dad, who would
rather die than leave Colorado, has
always been a true outdoorsman;
he is crazy about camping, hunting,
fshing, and all that it entails.
When I decided to become a
vegetarian, I dreaded calling my
dad to inform him of my new
lifestyle. I knew it would break his
heart; he no longer would have
a fshing partner, and his hopes
of taking me along on one of his
hunting trips would never come
to be. I didnt want to disappoint
my dad, but I was planning a trip
to Colorado and knew I needed to
tell him.
When I fnally got up the nerve
to break the news to my dad, he
just laughed it of incredulously. He
wasnt mad. He didnt tell me I was
stupid or disown me. He just tried
to persuade me with his wiley ways
and unforgettable cooking skills.
Eventually, though, he realized I
wasnt going to eat meat, not even
steak, lobster, or shrimp.
Now my dad has come to respect
my choice even if he utterly
disagrees with my ethical belief that
we shouldnt eat animals. I dont try
to change his mind, and he doesnt
try to change mine not because
we are weak, but because we
respect and love each other.
Tanksgiving is not the time to
try to change a family member or
friends moral and ethical beliefs;
its a time to come together and
put diferences aside. We vegetar-
ians will delight in eating out sweet
potatoes and squash, and meat
lovers can eat their turkey and ham
all at the same table. No matter
how corny it sounds, Tanksgiving
is about spending times with those
you love.
Tips for Vegetarians:
If your parents (or friends) are
worried because they dont know
what to feed you, just look up some
delectable recipes online and share
them with them.
Dont lecture family or friends
as to why you believe eating meat
is wrong, but if someone asks why
you are a vegetarian, be honest.
Dont put yourself in a situation
that you know will be uncomfort-
able; youre in college now, and you
dont have to spend Tanksgiving
with family if they refuse to respect
your beliefs. (Likewise, dont make
your family feel uncomfortable).

Tips for Meat Eaters:
Be understanding of your veg-
etarian family member or friends
dietary preferences, and make sure
there is something he or she can
eat.
Dont ask why a persons a veg-
etarian if you dont want an honest
answer.
Dont make fun of a person for
not eating meat; it will only create
unnecessary tension.

Getting the fu during fnals
week could be one of the most
stressful experiences of your
college life. Tough the risk of
death due to the fu in healthy
young adults is low, many college
students contract infuenza each
year and are rendered useless
for about a week. Last years
outbreak of H1N1 spread quickly
through college age groups (age
19-24) and was the cause many
missed tests and fnals. Te
infuenza virus is passed through
respiratory droplets in the air
and can cause many symp-
toms including muscle aches,
headaches, body aches, high
fevers and extreme fatigue. Tis
extreme fatigue keeps students
at home in bed, unable to study
and unable to attend lectures and
classes. Te impact of missing
class and tests can be treacherous
for a students semester and may
result in low grades or even failed
classes. Fortunately, successful
fu vaccines are available each
year to protect students from this
avoidable brush with fnals week
disaster.
Getting vaccinated not only
protects you, but also protects
those around you. Young im-
mune systems respond more
completely to the fu vaccines
than those of the elderly. If more
healthy young adults get immu-
nized, less virus will be available
to spread to the elderly, the very
young, the unhealthy, and others
who may be at increased risk of
death from the fu.
Flu shots are relatively inex-
pensive (as low as $15 at Sigler
Pharmacy and at KU fu shot
clinics), widely available, and
the risks from getting vaccinated
are low. College students would
be wise to avoid the stress and
difculty of getting the fu during
your fnals week and protect the
people around them by getting
vaccinated this season.

At the stroke of
midnight, witch and
wizard wannabes of
Lawrence gathered
for the penultimate
installment of Harry
Potter. Although the film
is based on a childrens
book, every theater in
South Wind 12 was filled
with mostly 18- to 22-year-
olds eager to see Harry Potter
and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.
The first book, Harry Potter and
the Sorcerers Stone, was published
in the United States in 1998, when
most current college-aged students
were in elementary school.
Harry Potter is completely
unique to our generation
it has shaped who we
are, said Kayla Wellemeyer,
a sophomore from Wichita.
And now Im becoming an
adult as the movies are end-
ing. Its sad.
When Welleymeyer picked
up the first Harry Potter book, it
was the biggest book shed ever
read. But in one summer she raced
through the first three books and
began counting down to the next
one. Every summer, she revisits
the series.
Ethan Ness, a sophomore from
Minnetonka, Minn., said he feels
he owes a lot to the series. When
Ness was in elementary school he
struggled with reading. He was in
the lowest level reading group. But
in fifth grade he picked up the first
Harry Potter book.
It made me want to read, Ness
said. By my freshman year of high
school I was in the accelerated
reading group.
Ness and millions of other read-
ers became attached to Harry Potter
as children. As the characters grew
older, so did the readers. A theater
full of 20-somethings dressed as
fictional characters may be the first
signs of Generation Ys wave of
nostalgia.
It makes me feel like Im a
kid again, said Teagan Seeley, a
freshman from Salinas, Calif. I
go online and look up spells and
pretend to cast
them on people.
Its fun to act like
a kid when
I believed in
magic.
Seeley said the
series hooked
her because it
was relatable.
I was a teen-
ager when they
were teenag-
ers, Seeley said.
I could relate
to the relation-
ship stuff. When
Hermione liked
Ron, but she saw
him with some-
one else I
understood how
that felt.
The books have even inspired
a real-life Quidditch team at the
University. Fourteen adults run
around a grassy field, broomsticks
in hand.
Harry Potter fever reached a
pitch on Nov. 18, as thousands of
Potter faithful referenced the series
on Facebook, stayed up until 3
a.m. watching the film, and prob-
ably missed their Friday morn-
ing classes.
But although
the excitement
over a new
book or film
lulls after a
time, a dedica-
tion to Harry
Potter will
remain with
our generation
for years to
come.
Ill be so
sad when the
last one comes
out, Seeley
said. Its the
end of a phe-
nomenon, the
end of an era.
But Ill still
watch the movies, read the books,
and talk about it constantly, even
when its all over.

Saturday marked the 12th
anniversary of the International
Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Held every year on Nov. 20, the day
is set aside to remember the trans-
gender people who were killed in
hate crimes and those who have
attempted or committed suicide.
Here are the stories and experi-
ences of two transgender people
and how they persevered through
hard times to find happiness.
AVERYS SToRY
He said he chose his new name,
Avery, because it was gender neu-
tral, and the fact that it meant
adviser to elves in French was
perfect. It fits his quirky, outgoing
personality.
Avery Dame, a graduate student
from Tuscaloosa, Ala., is a trans-
man. He was born into a womans
body, but he is trying to pass as a
man. Growing up, he didnt under-
stand why he was different. He said
he never felt he was born into the
wrong body when he was a child.
However, he knew something was
wrong, and his mother constantly
told him.
At one point she told me that I
walked like a farmer and I was like
what? Dame said.
He experienced a lot of those
instances growing up in Alabama.
He said he started to believe that
whatever he was, was wrong, and
he started to have suicidal ideas.
I was wrong and I didnt really
deserve to exist, Dame said.
One night years later, about a
month after his sophomore year
started at the University of Alabama,
Dame took a large amount of over-
the-counter pain killers with alco-
hol. He said he couldnt remember
what triggered it, but he attempted
suicide that night. According to the
National Center for Transgender
Equality and the National Gay and
Lesbian Task Force, 41 percent of
transgender people have attempted
suicide.
People do not accidently take
half a bottle of pain killers and a
large amount of alcohol, Dame
said. This never happens on pur-
pose people just dont do that.
As the night passed, Dame
began to think
that commit-
ting suicide was
a bad idea and
called one of his
good friends,
Betty. Betty
threatened that
if Dame didnt
call poison con-
trol center then
she would call
the campus police. He called the
poison control center.
He said the woman at the cen-
ter eventually hung up on Dame
because she was too busy that
night. It had been about two hours
since he took the medication.
So much of that night was
fuzzy, Dame said. I know I did it,
but I dont remember the specific
details of it.
He remembered finding some
activated charcoal, which is used to
absorb poisons in the stomach, and
headed to a friends house. He said
the first thing his friend said to him
changed his life. She said How
could you think that I wouldnt
care? He said that someone cared
and validated his identity; how-
ever they did it, was huge for being
transgender person.
Its so easy for the rest of the
world to invalidate you because
somehow you are breaking the
rules, he said.
Now, Dame said that although
his life has become easier, he still
has difficulties passing as a man.
He binds his breasts and packs
by putting a penis-shaped item in
his pants. He said the most difficult
part of passing is finding clothes
to hide his
f e m a l e
shape.
I have
child-birth-
ing hips,
he said. Its
s ome t i me s
hard to cover
them up.
He will
start taking
testosterone later this week. He
said he wont try to act masculine;
he would act like himself. He said
the hormone would make up for
the fact that he was not willing to
change his behavior for society. He
said he did not plan on having sex-
ual-reassignment surgery because
of the risk of being ostracized at
home.
However, he said he now feels
his life is starting to become more
balanced. He knows he can now be
more like himself.
I feel a lot more whole, Dame
said.
STEpHANIES SToRY
She was born in 1957 in
Lawrence. She said the very first
thing she knew about herself was
that she was a little girl born into
a little boys body. She didnt have
the words to explain how she felt
when she was five or six, but she
knew she was different.
Therefore, Stephanie Mott, a
Topeka resident, would have to
pretend to be a little boy every-
where she went. She said when she
wanted to express herself as a little
girl she had to be in the shadows
and in the closet in the dark.
It was horrible, Mott said.
It was only after her family
moved to a large farm outside of
Eudora that she could secretly
express herself as a girl. However,
she said she still couldnt talk about
it.
Its like the heat during the
summer the torment, the stress,
the shame and the disconnect of
having to pretend who you are, and
feeling alone, she said.
In 1969, when the first space
shuttle landed on the moon, she
said when little boys would dream
about becoming an astronaut, she
had a different dream. She hoped
that if she could make the Russians
mad enough, they would break
into her room and force her to
change into a girl.
It was just a fantasy, Mott said.
Fantasies were all I had.
When she hit puberty, her
body started to change. She said
the line between being a boy and
girl became far more obvious in a
physical sense. When she turned
13, she said she found that because
of Renee Richard, a tennis player
who was a transgender from male
to female like Stephanie, that tran-
sitioning from a male to a female
was possible. However, she would
not make that change for almost
35 years.
She started college at the
University at 17 years old. During
her sophomore year at the
University she discovered alcohol.
Alcohol changed the way I felt.
Mott said. For the first time I
didnt feel that fear.
She drank abusively for years.
By 2005, she said she managed to
drink herself homeless and ended
up in a rescue mission in Topeka.
Soon she realized that she needed
to change.
My sisters were tired of watch-
ing me kill myself, she said.
She said things finally got bad
enough that she realized she needed
to stop pretending to be a man. She
joined a church in Topeka where
she met a transgender woman for
the first time. After talking with her
she believed that she could finally
transition. It took her 35 years and
she was finally ready. She said she
thought it would be too hard, too
much money. She said she feared
that her loved ones would disown
her or that she would lose her job.
That fear was gone.
I wasnt alone anymore, she
said. That changed the nature of
my problems.
In July 2006, she went from
Stephen, her given name, to
Stephanie.
It was like somebody turned on
the light switch and I was no longer
living in the dark, Mott said. I was
born for the first time. I was really
living.

Palestinian president
rejects US peace plan
ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAMALLAH, West Bank
The Obama administrations trou-
bled attempt to revive Mideast
peace talks took another blow
Sunday when the Palestinian pres-
ident rejected the latest U.S. plan
to get the sides talking again.
Mahmoud Abbas said a pro-
posed 90-day freeze on Israeli
settlement construction wouldnt
get him back to the negotiat-
ing table unless it includes east
Jerusalem, a condition Israel
staunchly opposes.
Palestinians claim east
Jerusalem for their future capi-
tal. For decades, Israel has built
Jewish sections around the citys
periphery, and about 200,000
Jews live there now. Palestinians
consider the large neighborhoods
as illegal settlements.
The impasse highlights the
gaps the U.S. must bridge not
to just to achieve a peace deal, but
even to get the sides to sit down
and talk about one.
In Cairo Sunday, Abbas said
any construction freeze must
include east Jerusalem first and
foremost, along with the West
Bank.
If the moratorium does not
apply to all Palestinian territo-
ries, including east Jerusalem, we
will not accept it, Abbas said
after consultations with President
Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.
The issue of Israeli settlements
has bedeviled the latest round
of peace talks since their launch
in September. They broke down
three weeks later when a previ-
ous 10-month slowdown on West
Bank construction expired.
Since then, the U.S. has been
pushing Israel to impose a new,
90-day moratorium to draw the
Palestinians back to talks. The
U.S. hopes the sides can reach
a deal on future borders during
that time, in effect determining
which settlements Israel will get
to keep in a peace agreement and
defusing the issue of where it can
build.
To entice Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahus pro-settle-
ment coalition government, the
U.S. has offered a fleet of next-
generation stealth warplanes and
promises to veto anti-Israel reso-
lutions at the United Nations.

4ALKTO9OUR!DVISOR
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
Coach Bill Self said its just a
coincidence that Josh Selbys pic-
ture appears on the tickets and
media credentials for the Jayhawks
Dec. 18 game against USC. Hes
not lying those passes have been
printed since long before the sea-
son started. Still, it does have some
kind of poetic perfection that, as
the Selby saga draws to a close, his
first game will be the one that car-
ries his image on the tickets.
Selby, the No. 1 overall recruit
in the class of 2010, must miss
nine games, or 30 percent of the
Kansas season, per NCAA rules.
That includes the three games he
has already missed.
I think its a fair ruling, Self
said. The rules are black and
white.
He must also pay back money
received in impermissible benefits,
but the Kansas Athletics and NCAA
press releases differ on the amount.
According to Kansas press release,
the amount is $4,607.58, while
the NCAAs press release dictates
a $5,757.58 fine. Kansas associ-
ate athletic director Jim Marchiony
said Kansas number was the cor-
rect figure. Either way, the money
Selby pays back will go to a charity
of his choosing.
Kansas is able to appeal the rul-
ing, but Self said it would not.
There is an appeals process, but
to me, you read it and whether you
like it or not, it says it, Self said.
Its like youre going 70 in a 55 and
the law says you pay that much if
they catch you, you dont appeal it
if you did it.
The rules in question cover the
relationship between benefits given
to a prospect, which is defined as
anyone in the seventh grade or
higher. Those rules stipulate that
benefits that were not given to the
prospect, in this case Selby, by a
person, in this case Selbys family
friend Robert Bay Frazier, before
they became a prospect cannot be
given once he is a prospect. That
includes, for example, a tuxedo
rental and car for prom, or even
something as simple as lunch. If
the benefits exceed $1,000, the stu-
dent must sit a minimum of 30
percent of the season and pay back
all the benefits in question.
We do have rules, Self said. The
NCAA stated, even though long-
time acquaintance, even though
friend of his son, even though a
mentor, theres still some situations
that happened long before he got
here that Josh
admitted to
that hes going
to have to deal
with, but hell
handle it like a
man.
Selby said he
did not know
he was breaking
any rules when
he was in high
school, and said
that he did nothing wrong.
Me and my mom were not
aware of the rules, at the time,
Selby said.
Throughout the process, Self has
maintained that he thought Selby
would be cleared, but over the last
week admitted to feeling some frus-
tration that he did not know when
he would have his star freshman
back. Now that there is a date, Self
said he would
be able to pace
Selbys return
so the transi-
tion is as easy
as possible.
What is
cool from this
point forward
is that we can
practice him
in a way, and
mentor him in
a way and tutor him in a way that
on the 18th, the transition is more
seamless, Self said.
He also tried to temper expecta-
tions that are sky-high from a fan
base rife with anticipation.
Our expectations should be
that hes a freshman, Self said.
Hes going to labor and hes going
to have good moments and hes
going to have some not-so-good
moments. That would be my
expectations, and if those are my
expectations then I think, outside
of us, should have similar expecta-
tions.
Selby said the most difficult part
of the process was hearing from his
teammates how much they wanted
him on the floor.
Its very hard. It weighs on your
mind to know if youre going to be
able to play, Selby said. Youve
got your teammates asking when
youre going to be able to play. Now
that we have a date, we can just
move forward.
Self said it wouldnt be fair to
judge Selbys play until January or
February when hes fully caught up
to the college game.
Hes a nice talent, hes a good
player, but hes got a lot to learn,
Self said before turning to Selby.
And I think youd agree with
that.
I agree, Selby quickly replied.
Good answer, Self said.
Selby agreed with his coach that
hes got a lot to learn, but he also
said he thinks hell be able to fit in
quickly with the Jayhawks.
I dont think itll take long,
Selby said, because our team, they
do a great job of mentoring you on
and off the court. Along with that
help, Ill be fine. Ill fit in perfect
with them.

It was third down and six.
Kansas was trailing Oklahoma
State 20-14 with nine minutes left
in the third quarter. Junior quar-
terback Quinn Mecham saw fresh-
man wide receiver Chris Omigie
standing there, wide open, with a
first down and room to run clearly
in his grasps. Plenty of time to
throw. Great pass right between
the 8 and 3 on Omigies jersey.
Omigie turned upfield, ready to
break away from the secondary. He
was forgetting something, though.
Mechams pass went right through
Omigies hands and bounced onto
the turf of Kivisto Field. Another
drive stalled, another opportunity
missed. It was a perfect microcosm
of the game, if not the season, for
the Kansas football team.
With a team like Oklahoma
State, your offense is going to have
to score some touchdowns, Kansas
coach Turner Gill commented after
the game. We had opportunities
to do that in the first half and in the
third quarter, but we could never
capitalize on it and we couldnt
maintain anything on the drives
offensively.
Whether they were more focused
on next weeks game against in-
state rival Oklahoma, or the early
kickoff time was a little too early
for their liking, the Cowboys didnt
quite play up to their No. 10 rank-
ing. They tried their hardest to
give the game away, making crucial
mistakes throughout the first half
with two personal fouls, a roughing
the passer, and pass interference
penalties, often keeping Kansas
drives alive.
We have to play smarter foot-
ball, Oklahoma State coach Mike
Gundy said of his teams penalties.
Well do everything we can to get
those corrected.
The numerous Cowboy penal-
ties didnt matter though, as the
Jayhawks couldnt capitalize on
any mistakes after the first quarter,
gaining only 139 more yards in the
final three quarters and failing to
score.
The final score of 48-14 didnt
surprise anyone, but the journey
was anything but normal.
Oklahoma State has dominat-
ed its opponents all year, beating
teams by an average of 21 in its
first 10 games. But somehow the
Jayhawks kept it close at half and
were in a position to take the lead

Freshman Keena Mays and sophomore Carolyn Davis hit late free throws to give Kansas a 93-86 victory
against Wisconsin in Madison. Davis had 29 points, nine rebounds and three steals to lead the way.

Brady will
be a factor
on ofense
and defense
a priCe to play
B
radys back.
He didnt look exactly
like himself in the first
few games, but his performance
Friday showed that the oldest
player in the Big 12 still had it
in him.
Before Friday, coach Bill
Self said senior guard Brady
Morningstar was not a point
guard. Morningstars career-
high 10 assists in the 93-60 vic-
tory against North Texas said
otherwise.
But it wasnt just the passing.
Morningstar hunkered down on
defense, swiping four steals. He
also hit three of his five shots,
including a three-pointer, an ele-
ment of his game that had been
lacking this year.
Self said it was good to see that
three go down, Morningstars
second of the season. On
defense, he was more aggressive
and put himself in position with
some nice footwork.
Brady looked like the old
Brady, Self said.
Sophomore guard Elijah
Johnson made his return from
disciplinary action Friday, so
some guard minutes had to be
purged from someone, possibly
Morningstar. But he was put into
the starting lineup for the first
time all season and didnt relin-
quish any minutes, playing 26.
In fact, he and senior guard
Tyrel Reed, who was in for 27
minutes, played more than any-
one.
And Morningstar should
remain in the starting lineup.
Morningstar helped keep
North Texas Josh White to 10
points on 4-for-13 shooting after
he exploded for 32 in his previ-
ous game against Texas Tech.
Junior forward Marcus
Morris said after the game that
Morningstar is the best defender
hes seen. He knows where the
ball is going to be and he will get
straight up in your grill to poke
it away or force a bad shot.
I can imagine how other
people feel when hes guarding
them, Morris said.
Instead of having the most
athletic players in to start the
game with explosiveness,
Morningstar can establish the
tone with defense, which could
send a bigger message. Reed can
do the same.
But now there is a new devel-
opment in the guard situation.
As you should know by now,
freshman guard Josh Selby is
cleared to play, effective Dec.
18.
Self made it apparent that
Selby isnt just going to jump
right in the starting five. Hes
going to have to beat someone
out.
By the looks of it, Self values
the cerebral defensive players
more than the flashy offensive
players. Reed and Morningstar
are going to be in the mix, thats
for sure. And it hasnt shown yet,
but those guys can make threes.
We dont know what Selby
can do, but he was recruited
for those very reasons. He can
defend and he can make shots.
All we know is that he makes the
Jayhawks better.
Hes just going to be another
weapon that nobody has seen
yet, Morris said.

I
dont know if anyones noticed, but
Im a little bit of a Steelers fan. My
dads side of the family is from
Pittsburgh and my earliest memory is
my great-grandmother cursing at the refs
because they made a bad call. In my house
Sundays were for Steelers, beer (or apple
juice, in my case) and cards.
Im sure I will always be a Pittsburgh
fan, but I feel like the last season Ive kind
of cheated on my team. It all started at the
end of July when I went to Chiefs training
camp as part of my internship.
It really was a blast. Chiefs fans are
great and will even commute to St. Joseph
to get a glimpse of what to expect for the
season, even if the Chiefs last season was
less than ideal. And I was in the center of
everything. I got to interview the players,
go to the close practices, it was great.
I still remember the first time I watched
Dexter McCluster play. He was this little
guy, shorter than I am, but I remember
watching him beat Brandon Flowers in
drills and thinking that he was going to
be really good. Now if he could only stay
healthy he could become one of the best
players on the team.
The other big story was their first
round pick. I remember when Eric Berry
finally made his way to training camp.
I wasnt sure what to expect, it seemed
like he could have a case of hotshot-itis,
but he was exactly the opposite. After his
first day of practice he carried all of the
veterans gear and stopped to talk to the
press. He said he just wanted to help his
team anyway he could. And hes proved it
this season.
Another quick story about Eric Berry
is that after many of the games he stays
and helps the workers clean out the locker
room. He puts all of the chairs on the
table. It doesnt sound like a big deal, but
I dont know how many other first round
draft picks do that. Its the little side sto-
ries like that, which make covering the
Chiefs so unique.
Anyway, over the summer and going
into the exhibition games and the regular
season in was hard not to get attached to
the team. And to top it off, they are actu-
ally winning, or at least more than last
year.
Ill always love my Pittsburgh Steelers,
but now the Chiefs have worked their way
into my NFL Sunday schedule as well.

The Jayhawks avoided a sweep
in Fridays match against the No.
8 Texas Longhorns, but fell short
of making a comeback as Texas
took the match 3-1 in Austin.
In their previous meeting, the
Longhorns swept the Jayhawks 3-0
in Lawrence.
With three more matches to
play, Kansas dropped to 16-13
overall, including 7-11 in Big 12
play. Texas extended its winnings
streak to 13; including 24 straight
Big 12 victories at home for a
record of 21-5 and 16-2 in the Big
12.
Junior setter Nicole Tate said
the difference in the match for
the Jayhawks amounted many
moments of play where the team
fell short of making plays.
Despite a good overall offensive
performance, the Jayhawks could
not match the Longhorns pace of
scoring or hitting efficiency.
Junior outside hitter Allison
Mayfield led Kansas with 18 kills
and a .341 hitting efficiency.
She was definitely doing some
damage against them, Tate said of
Mayfield. And they were having a
hard time defending against her.
Senior outside hitters Jenna
Kaiser and Karina Garlington fol-
lowed with 17 and 11 kills, respec-
tively. Tate helped Kansas main-
tain team attack percentages above
.300 in each of the last three sets,
recording 49 assists with three
service aces and three blocks.
Freshman Caroline Jarmoc led the
blocking effort with six, including
two solo rejections.
The Longhorns offense did bet-
ter. Texas senior Juliann Faucette
led the Longhorns with 26 kills
and only five errors for a hitting
efficiency of .396. Texas achieved
attack percentages of .387 and .438
in the second and fourth set and
out-blocked Kansas 11-10.
Despite jumping ahead in
the first set to an 8-5 lead, the
Jayhawks were overwhelmed by
the Longhorns response and went
down 25-16. In the second set,
Kansas trailed from the beginning
but made the set close with an
improved .308 hitting efficiency
and five kills from Kaiser. Jarmocs
solo block put the Jayhawks within
a point at 22-21 but the Longhorns
came out ahead 25-23.
Garlington scored a kill at the
opening of the third set and start-
ed an offensive run. Tate added
a service ace and Mayfield con-
tributed kills and a block together
with sophomore Tayler Tolefree
to give Kansas a four-point lead,
which they maintained until the
Longhorns tied the set at 20-20.
Jarmoc made back-to-back blocks
and Garlington scored two kills
to win the set for the Jayhawks
26-24, pushing the contest to a
fourth set.
I think everyone just stepped
up, Tate said.
Kansas improved its offensive
numbers in each successive set in
the match. We were competitive;
wanted to beat Texas, but we fell
short.
Tolefree and Mayfield kept the
momentum going into the fourth
set, scoring four points between
them to put the Jayhawks ahead
5-1. With Garlington, the outside
hitters kept Kansas ahead late into
the set, still in the lead at 19-14.
Texas senior Jennifer Doris and
junior Amber Roberson came
back with a string of unanswered
kills to tie the set at 19-19. Faucette
kept the rally going with five kills
in quick succession to win the set
25-23 and the finish the match 3-1
for Texas.
The Jayhawks will play their
final home match Wednesday, Nov.
24 against in-state rival Kansas
State. In their previous meeting,
Kansas lost 3-1 to Kansas State in
the first match of conference play,
in Manhattan.
I think this will really give us
that competitive fire again, that
you need at the end of the season,
Tate said. She said the team was
excited to play Kansas State and
then Oklahoma on Saturday. I
think thats definitely the way to
get some momentum going next
week.

Longhorns top the Jayhawks in four sets
NFL
aSSoCIated PreSS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The
Jacksonville Jaguars won again in
a dramatic finish with the help of
another fortunate bounce.
Maurice Jones-Drew followed
a 75-yard reception with a 1-yard
touchdown dive, and the Jaguars
overcame six turnovers to beat
the banged-up Cleveland Browns
24-20 on Sunday.
Jones-Drew broke four tack-
les on a screen pass from David
Garrard and weaved his way
toward the end zone, with rookie
Joe Haden making a touchdown-
saving tackle that ended up taking
precious seconds off the clock.
Jones-Drew scored two plays
later with 1:16 left, giving both
teams dramatic finishes for the
second time in as many games.
The Jaguars (6-4) beat Houston
last week on Garrards despera-
tion pass to Mike Thomas on the
final play. The Browns (3-7) lost
to the New York Jets in overtime
on Santonio Holmes 37-yard TD
reception.
Cleveland had a final chance to
win this one. Jacksonvilles Sean
Considine tipped Colt McCoys
pass to Ben Watson at the goal line,
but the pass bounced off Watsons
chest and landed in Considines
arms.
Thomas 50-yard catch last week
was tipped by a defender.
The Browns surely will kick
themselves after this loss. Phil
Dawson missed two 51-yard field
goal attempts, and Cleveland
failed to take full advantage of
Jacksonvilles numerous mistakes.
The Jaguars ended five consecu-
tive drives with turnovers in the
second half. Jones-Drew, whose
first career pass was intercepted
in the first half, started the slop-
piness with a fumble following an
8-yard run.
Abram Elam stripped the ball
from Jones-Drews hands and
returned it 18 yards for a score and
a 14-10 lead. Players on both sides
watched the play unfold, many of
them believing Jones-Drew was
down or that his forward progress
had been stopped.
Things snowballed from there
for Jacksonville.
Garrard threw behind Thomas
on the ensuing drive, and T.J.
Ward intercepted the tipped pass.
Cleveland did nothing, though.
Under heavy pressure on the
following possession, Garrard
threw into double coverage.
Haden, playing in place of injured
starter Eric Wright, picked it off
and returned it to the Jacksonville
31 before fumbling. Teammate
Chris Gocong recovered, but
the Browns had to settle for
Dawsons 38-yarder that made
it 17-10.
Garrard fumbled on a third-
down run to end the next drive,
then had another tipped pass
intercepted. That pass bounced
off Marcedes Lewis pads and into
Wards hands.
Cleveland did nothing with
either turnover, punting on one
and missing a field goal try on
the other.
Jacksonville could have trailed
badly. Instead, the Jaguars settled
down and put together two long
drives. Garrard connected with
Lewis for a touchdown on third-
and-goal from the 14 a rare
conversion in the NFL to tie the
game at 17 with 3:34 remaining.
McCoy found Evan Moore down
the sideline for a 38-yard gain on
the next play, but Jacksonvilles
sixth sack forced another field
goal try. This time, Dawson
connected from 41 yards.
But the Jaguars had plenty of
time to mount a comeback.
Late Jones-Drew touchdown gives Jags a win
John Mallinger wins
qualifying tourney
PeBBLe BeAcH, calif. John
Mallinger won the Pebble Beach
Invitational on sunday, birdieing
four of the last six holes for a 4-un-
der 68 and a two-stroke victory
over Jason Gore.
Mallinger, who lost his fully ex-
empt PGA Tour status after fnish-
ing 133rd on the money list, made
a 25-foot birdie putt on no. 18 to
fnish at 15-under 273 in the event
featuring 76 male and female
players. He earned $60,000 in the
$300,000 tournament sponsored
by callaway Golf.
Mallinger, who also led after
the second and third rounds, had
eight birdies, two bogeys and a
double bogey in the fnal round
played in intermittent rain.
I putted well today and putted
well all week, said Mallinger, who
has eight top-three fnishes but is
winless since joining the PGA Tour
in 2006. I love Pebble Beach. Its
tough to beat Pebble Beach.
Gore, who will join Mallinger
in the PGA Tours fnal qualifying
tournament, closed with a bogey-
free 65.
I tried, but I just got outplayed,
said Gore, who also birdied the
fnal round. But I played well
and Ill take the momentum to
Q-school.
Pat Perez (65) and champions
Tour player russ cochran (71) tied
for third at 11 under. cochran,
who began the fnal round trailing
by one stroke, held a one-stroke
lead after birdieing the 11m but
bogeyed the 13th and Mallinger
soon began his fnal birdie spree.
Annika sorenstam, completing
her frst 72-hole tournament since
her LPGA Tour retirement in 2008,
shot a 73 to fnish at 3 under.
Its funny, you dont play for
two years and then you go inside
the ropes and the mindset comes
back, sorenstam said. Its there,
which is too cool. But you cant
make the same shots anymore.
Morgan Pressel shot a 72 to
fnish at 7 under, the best among
the 13 LPGA Tour entrants.
Tommy Armour III, the 2008 and
2009 winner, withdrew before the
fnal round because of personal
reasons.

Game to remember
Brady Morningstar: Morningstar got the starting
nod because coach bill Self said, essentially, that he
just felt like starting Morningstar, despite his lacklus-
ter play in the frst two games. Morningstar respond-
ed well with easily his best game of the season. The
47th-year senior (not really, its just fve years) had
seven points, 10 rebounds and four steals. He also hit
his frst three of the season.

Game to forget
Travis Releford: releford lost his starting job Self said he
hadnt been blown away by relefords play yet and responded
with what was probably his worst game of the season, at least sta-
tistically. He was 1-of-4 from the feld and fnished with four points
and just one rebound and one assist against two turnovers. With
Josh Selby coming back, the already crowded rotation of guards
will add another body.

REWIND
Kansas won its 62nd consecutive home game, tying the school
record set from 1994-1998.
Quote of the night
BY TIM DWYER
tdwyer@kansan.com
For the entirety of the Bill Self
era at Kansas, the Jayhawks have
had a couple of staples. The first is
being almost comically difficult to
beat at home, as evidenced by the
fact that Self has as many home
losses (six) as Big 12 conference
titles.
Another is the Jayhawks ability
to buckle down for extended peri-
ods of time and taking opponents
out of the game with debilitating
runs.
How fitting, then, that as the
Jayhawks blew past North Texas
93-60 to tie the school-record
62-game home winning streak, it
was largely on the strength of a
31-8 run in the first 8:50 of the
second half.
We couldnt withstand the
run that they made and we never
recovered from it, North Texas
coach Johnny Jones said. It was
just a long night.
Marcus Morris led the charge
with 10 points in the first five min-
utes after the break. He finished
the game with 20 points, 16 of
them in the second half.
I got very fired up in the locker
room, Morris said. Coach told
me that I needed to come out
strong, and that the second half
was my half and that I needed to
get the team going.
Morris picked up two fouls early
and was largely ineffective in 10
minutes in the first half. Tyshawn
Taylor and Markieff Morris dealt
with the same issues, and despite
the Jayhawks bolting to a 21-8
lead, the Mean Green trailed by
just nine at the half.
I dont know if there was a
real message, but I wasnt pleased
at halftime, Self said. You get a
team down, youve got to finish
them.
While most of the Jayhawks
devastating runs are triggered by
stringing together several defensive
stands, the most impressive part of
their 31-8 run against the Mean
Green was the ridiculous shooting
efficiency. The Jayhawks hit 12-of-
13 shots all five attempts from
behind the three-point line and
both free throws.
We are a good shooting team,
Self said. We just havent shown it
yet. Its nothing to get giddy over,
but its certainly the best weve
played so far.
Kansas will try to continue
the streak Tuesday night against
Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Elijah
Johnson, who finished with 11
points and zero turnovers in his
first game of the season, said the
Jayhawks felt like they needed to
keep it going because of all the tra-
dition that came before them.
I feel like it was something we
owed them from before we were
born, he said. Everybody cares
about this program, and it has
great tradition.

Second half run is big factor in win
BY MIKE LAVIERI
mlavieri@kansan.com
Coach Bill Self said sophomore
guard Elijah Johnson needed to
perform better when it actually
counted.
In his first game of the season,
Johnson took advantage of every
opportunity when he was on the
court.
It felt real good, said Johnson,
who said it was kind of different
from when he was cheering from
the bench.
Johnson learned to stay
focused while he was not out on
the court.
In 17 minutes of work, Johnson
scored 11 points and had zero
turnovers.
Self said he was pleased with
Johnsons play.
Elijah played well, Self said.
Elijah was certainly a bright spot
tonight.
Self said was upset, however,
with Johnson because he was
yelling at other
people to get
into position.
He should
be yelling at
himself to get
into position
before yelling
at anybody
else, Self said.
Johnson did play aggressive-
ly for his first game back. Self
said that Johnson did some good
things backing up junior guard
Tyshawn Taylor at the point.
Johnson said that his success
on Friday was because Self was
supportive.
Coach Self said some stuff to
me on the side, Johnson said.
He made it seem like it was a
story for somebody else.
Johnson, who was disciplined
for locker
room issues,
was glad to
put it behind
him.
S t u f f
between the
t e a mma t e s
and coach-
es, Johnson
said. Just a small little lesson.
Sometimes you got to make
examples out of players and I
just happened to be that player
that time.
With freshman guard Josh
Selby officially cleared on the
same night as Johnsons return,
Self has a good problem with five
players who can handle the ball.
Johnson was happy not only to
get the win but also to be a part
of the team that tied the school
record for consecutive home
wins, with 62.
Whether this was the first
game of the streak or the game
to break the streak, it feels
good, regardless, to play on the
Fieldhouse court, Johnson said.
He said that the fan base has
been very important.
I feel like it was something we
owed them from before we were
born, Johnson said. Everybody
cares about this program and it
has great tradition.

Quote of the Game
They played with a lot of heart and I'mproud to
be their head football coach...They are good people,
good football players and they will be very good in
our society for the rest of their lives.
Turner Gill speaking of his group of seniors.
Gill
Ofense
After scoring on their opening drive, the Kansas ofense disap-
peared in the fnal three quarters Saturday, failing to score while
capturing only eight more frst downs. Jordan Webb returned to
the lineup in the fourth quarter, going 6-9 with no touchdowns. C.
Defense
The defensive unit held the high-fying Oklahoma State ofense
to only 20 points in the frst half, keeping the Jayhawks in the
game going into the third quarter. The second half was unforgiv-
ing, however, as the Cowboys scored another 28 points while cruis-
ing to another victory. C-.
Special Teams
Aaron Stamms special teams unit was anything but pretty for
Kansas fans to watch. Jacob branstetter had a kick blocked in the
third quarter. Alonso rojas also had a third quarter punt blocked,
which was subsequently returned fve yards for a Cowboy touch-
down. Kick returner d.J. beshears was shut down as well, failing to
return a kickof more than 23 yards. D-.
Coaching
With just under nine minutes left in the frst half and Kansas down
17-14, the team faced a fourth and goal from the Cowboy one-yard
line. Instead of kicking the feld goal to tie the game, Turner Gill decid-
ed to go for it, running James Sims up the middle. Sims was stopped
and Kansas turned the ball over on downs. It was as close as they got
to scoring the rest of the game.

KANSAS FOOTBALL REWIND
Gill debuts two players at new positions
Kansas opened up the game with a 36-yard completion to Chris
Omigie. A double reverse later in the drive resulted in a defensive pass
interference penalty, and the Jayhawks later scored on that frst drive.
The risky play calling gradually died as the Jayhawks stayed in the
game, and the conservative calls seemed to afect the ofense the rest
of the afternoon. B-.
Turning Point
in the third quarter.
Whether is was the
Cowboys senior kicker Dan
Bailey missing a pair of field
goals, Kansas freshman cor-
nerback Tyler Patmon letting
an interception slip through
his hands, or
Omigies crucial
drop on third
down, the third
quarter was
15 minutes of
missed oppor-
tunities for
the Jayhawks.
They caught
Oklahoma State
on an off-day for whatever
reason, but were unable to
make thempay for their mis-
takes.
Other teams have been
coming out with a lot of cor-
rections and making a lot of
good plays (after halftime),
senior cornerback Chris
Harris told reporters. We
had a couple of stops in the
third quarter, we just have to
put points on the board.
Third quarters have been
no blessing for Kansas this
season, getting outscored by a
combined 63 points through
11 games. And the trend con-
tinued Saturday.
We definitely had some
confidence coming in and we
came out and just kind of lost
focus a bit, Mecham said.
Their defense made some
adjustments and it just didnt
come out our way.
Excluding the New
Mexico State game,
every week this year
even the wins have
been a struggle for
the Jayhawks. Injuries
havent helped. Streaky
quarterback play hasnt
helped. Neither has
lack of execution or
timely penalties. A new
coaching staff certainly hasnt
helped either. Whatever the
problems have been, Harris
hopes the returning play-
ers will continue to develop
going into next season.
Hopefully they learn from
this and work real hard in
the offseason and come back
next year, he said. It is defi-
nitely a learning experience,
its good that they can learn
from this and be ready for
the future.

Game Notes
Kansas Te Tim biere caught a 12-yard Td pass from Mecham in the
frst quarter. It marked KUs frst opening drive Td of the season, and
the frst Td in the frst quarter since the New Mexico State game.
Omegie recorded three catches for 41 yards against the cowboys.
Prior to the game, the redshirt freshman had three catches in his
career.
In the third quarter, P Alonso rojas recorded a 50-yard punt, which
gives him 12 punts of 50 or more yards this season. At least on in each
game except for the Colorado game.
Kansas Cb Chris Harris made 11 tackles in the game, marking the
fourth time in the last fve games that he has double digit numbers in
tackles. Harris is also 16 tackles away from reaching 300 in his career.

The Jayhawks debuted two players at
new positions Saturday against Oklahoma
State. Bradley McDougald moved from
receiver to safety and Kale Pick switched
from quarterback to receiver.
Pick won the starting quarterback job
after a training camp competition between
himand Jordan Webb. Pick lost his starting
job to Webb after the season-opening loss
against North Dakota State.
On Monday Turner Gill talked to Pick
about making the switch. On Tuesday he
went with it.
It was obviously a shock when they
told me. I wasnt expecting it. On Tuesdays
practice I got in there and made a few plays
and got my feet wet. The more reps I took,
I felt more confident and more comfortable
in the position, Pick said.
Pick is already known for being an ath-
letic quarterback. Last season he rushed for
167 yards on 14 carries.
Against Oklahoma State at the receiver
position he had two catches.
I would much rather be out there and
try and make plays for our team and give
us a chance to win, than be on the sideline,
Pick said.
McDougald spent some time at safety
last season, and recorded five tackles and
one interception. He tied for second on the
team recording eight tackles (six of them
solo tackles).
He came out and did a pretty good job.
They are throwing a lot at him so Im defi-
nitely back there saying, 'Hey, do this do
this and making sure he gets in the right
spot,' defensive back Chris Harris said.
Getting into the mix early and getting a
feel for the game at their new positions was
important to both players. McDougald said
it took a little while to get used to being out
there, but by the second or third drive, he
was where he needed to be.
It definitely gave me confidence. I got
my feet wet right at the start, Pick said.
Pick is unsure whether or not this move
will be permanent. He will take time this
offseason and figure out what he wants to
do. McDougald is fairly confident he has
found a new home at safety.
I probably feel like this will be my last
move. I feel like if I have any chance of
going to the next level its going to be on the
defensive side of the ball so I want to stay
here, McDougald said.

Thirteen years ago, Harry Potter
introduced a world of magic. One
part of Harry Potter that seems
to be a fan favorite is the game of
Quidditch. In fact, the game has
become so popular that muggles
have even started to play it. (For
non-Harry Potter fans, a muggle is
a non-magical person).
Here at the University of Kansas,
Doug Whiston, a sophomore from
Quincy, Ill., first thought about
forming a team about a year ago.
The team has now been around for
a month, and many of the players
are new to the sport. Right now
the team consists of five players,
but its always looking to expand
members, said Nicole Denney, a
sophomore from Shawnee.
For those who dont know what
Quidditch is, Whiston has the rules.
Its similar to rugby. There hard
hits, fast play, and no pads. The
real-world version of Quidditch
replaces mythical elements of the
game with more attainable ones,
such as replacing the quaffle for
a volleyball and the snitch with a
fast runner who has a sock tucked
in his or her shorts. Throwing the
quaffle through the three keepers
hoops makes 10 points, and catch-
ing the snitch makes 30 points.
But its harder than it sounds,
Whiston said. The snitch can do
anything, even commit fouls, to
avoid capture.
The team members had to get
creative and find equipment for
other elements of the game as well.
They use brooms for bludgers, and
the hula hoops represent the three
goals at the end of each field.
We dont fly around but we run
with them [broomsticks] between
our legs, said Courtney Schmidt,
a sophomore from Shawnee. It
looks really silly but its all part of
the fun.
The game also requires a lot of
physical activity.
We arent just a bunch of Harry
Potter nerds who have never played
sports, said Jordan Dauer, a soph-
omore from Lees Summit, Mo.
People wont realize how tough a
game it is until they see it, so dont
make any assumptions.
Kansas Quidditch team plays
other schools from around the
NCAA. In its last tournament,
Kansas played Texas A&M,
Oklahoma, Wichita State, Arkansas
and Arkansas Tech.
We ended up winning three
out of five games overall, said
Cassie Slocum, a sophomore from
Shawnee.
Fans can check out the next
Quidditch tournament in Arkansas
later this month, and Kansas plans
to host a tournament in the spring.
The team applied online to
become an official student organi-
zation at Kansas, and the Student
Involvement and Leadership
Center granted them that request
on Nov. 9.
For more information about the
team, its members, and how to
join, search Kansas Quidditch on
Facebook. Also, for a complete list
of rules and game play, visit www.

Bradford throws
frst pick, Rams lose
sT. LOUIs Not too many big
plays for the Atlanta Falcons. An
avalanche of little plays did the
trick.
Matt ryan threw two touch-
down passes and directed an
ofense so dominant that three
st. Louis rams defenders left with
cramps in a 34-17 victory sunday.
All those chip-shot feld goals
added up, too.
Wed like to score more touch-
downs, ryan said. All in all, three
points is good ofensively.
sam Bradford had a pair of
touchdown passes for the rams
and set an NFL rookie record with
169 consecutive passes without
an interception. The streak ended
when William Moore picked of
a shovel pass at the 2 with 3:24
to go, snufng a drive that could
have made it a one-score game.
I wish it would have gone 98
(yards), Moore said. But overall it
was just a huge play.
It was the clincher as the
Falcons (8-2) won their fourth in
a row and ended the rams four-
game home winning streak.

With six seconds left in regula-
tion, freshman guard Diara Moore
was sent to the free throw line to
shoot two. She missed the first, but
made the second, sending Kansas
and Wisconsin into overtime,
where the Jayhawks defeated the
Badgers 93-86 in the Big 10/Big 12
Challenge.
It was fun actually. It was our
first road game as a young team
and it was just good to see us play
through adversity and we all came
together in the end and became a
better team, sophomore forward
Carolyn Davis said.
The game changer for the
Jayhawks was free throws down
the line. Kansas shot 33-46 record-
ing 71.7 percent accuracy. The
Jayhawks made seven of eight free
throws in overtime to seal their
victory.
We got sent to the line a lot and
we made some and missed some,
Davis said. But, we made them
down the line and down the stretch
when we needed to.
Davis made four of these free
throws in her 15-18 effort at the
line. She finished the game with
29 points. For the second straight
game Davis led the Jayhawks in
scoring while shooting 7-9 from
the field. She also added nine
rebounds and three steals.
It feels good, we always talk
about getting the ball inside and
I was domi-
nating today
and I think
my teammates
found me,
Davis said.
Davis is
leading the
team with 63
points after
three games
and averaging
21 points per game. Davis is sec-
ond in rebounding behind junior
forward Aishah Sutherland.
Coach Bonnie Henrickson was
impressed with Davis performance
throughout the game.
I am proud of Carolyn Davis for
being that physi-
cal, Henrickson
said. She is a
great run over
the top. She can
score over the
top. It is a great
challenge for
her and for her
to step up and
handle that and
score a couple
and ones was great.
Kansas faced an unfamiliar chal-
lenge Sunday night when it was
outscored 42-34 in the paint. So
far this season, the Jayhawks have
been dominant down low and have
had height and length advantages.
They were way more physical
than we are used to playing against
and we havent had any matchups
like that so it was a different defen-
sive game today, but I think it was a
good challenge for us, Davis said.
All of the elements that made
this game difficult are chances for
the Jayhawks to improve through-
out the season.
I think that this win really
showed us how tough we can be
and I think it is good for us now,
early in the season, Davis said. It
challenged us, but now we know
what we can expect from each
other and that we can win tough
games.
Wisconsin head coach Lisa Stone
was impressed with the Jayhawks
and how they played especially in
the end of the game.
Kansas is a very good team,
theyre going to have a great year,
I wish them the best, and this is
a great game for us, Stone said.
This is what we need. We need to
be tested like this. Obviously were
not happy we came up on the short
end, but our kids really played hard
and Im really proud of them.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dwayne
Bowe is beginning to live up to
expectations, and the Kansas City
Chiefs now have themselves a pret-
ty good wide receiver.
Once considered a big disap-
pointment, Bowe caught two
touchdown passes to help the
Chiefs remain unbeaten at home
with a 31-13 victory over the fading
Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Bowe set a team record with
at least one score in six straight
games, with 563 yards receiving
and 10 touchdown catches during
the span.
With the win, the Chiefs (6-4)
took sole possesion of first place in
the AFC West. The Raiders fell to
5-5 after losing to the Steelers.
Thomas Jones also had two
touchdowns for the Chiefs, who are
5-0 at home though attendance has
slumped at refurbished Arrowhead
Stadium.
The fifth straight loss for the
Cardinals (3-7) dropped the two-
time defending NFC West cham-
pions 2 games behind Seattle,
which played later in New Orleans.
The losing streak is Arizonas
longest since an eight-game slide
in 2006 led to Ken Whisenhunt
replacing Dennis Green as coach.
The Cardinals, struggling to replace
key departed players such as Kurt
Warner, Anquan Boldin and line-
backer Karlos
Dansby, are also
in danger of
finishing below
.500 for the
first time under
Whisenhunt.
Bowe caught
scoring pass-
es from Matt
Cassel of 1 and
38 yards. Jones
scored on runs
of 1 and 3 yards.
The Cardinals got their only
touchdown, a 3-yard TD catch by
Larry Fitzgerald, on the final play
of the game.
Bowes emergence as a confident,
consistent wide receiver is becoming
one of the biggest success stories of
the year for Kansas City. A first-round
pick in 2007, he wound up with 109
yards for the day and figured in just
about every scoring drive.
He got every yard of a 38-yard
march for Kansas Citys initial
touchdown, first with a catch over
the middle in which he fought to
the 1. Then, after two running plays
failed, the former LSU star got free
in the end zone for the 1-yard TD
catch from Cassel.
Cassel converted twice on third
down in a third quarter drive, hit-
ting Jamaal Charles for 11 yards on
one play and connecting with Bowe
for 14 yards on third-and-3 from
the 43. Jamaal Charles got loose
on a 39-yard run to set up Jones
second TD.
A personal
foul penalty on
Arizona line-
backer Gerald
Hayes of 15
yards gave the
Chiefs sec-
ond TD drive
a boost. Cassel
also hit Charles
over the middle
for 19 yards
before Jones took it in from the 1
for a 14-3 lead.
With 4:20 left in the game, Bowe
got open in the secondary, caught
the ball on the 18, twisted away
from tacklers and danced into the
end zone.
Until Derek Andersons TD pass
to Fitzgerald, the Cardinals man-
aged field goals by Jay Feely of 36
and 29 yards.
Cassel was 15 of 24 for 193 yards.
Anderson was 25 of 46 for 295
yards.

MINNEAPOLIS If this were
indeed Brett Favres final Packers-
Vikings game, Aaron Rodgers
sure made it clear whos in charge
of this rivalry right now.
Rodgers threw for 301 yards,
with three of his four touchdown
passes going to Greg Jennings. He
beat Favre for the second time
this season and sent Green Bay to
a 31-3 victory over melting-down
Minnesota on Sunday.
The Packers (7-3) emerged
fresh from their bye week and
kept pace in the NFC North race
with the Chicago Bears (7-3),
ruining any realistic hope the
Vikings (3-7) had left to give
Favre another shot at a playoff
run in his 20th NFL season.
I hate to use Jim Moras com-
ments about playoffs, but we cant
think about that, Favre said.
Instead, this 100th meeting
between these border-state rivals,
likely the last for the 41-year-
old Favre, was marked by costly
turnovers, untimely penalties
and even some sideline shout-
ing by the frustrated Vikings to
cast further doubt on coach Brad
Childresss future with the team.
I cant really talk about that,
because thats not my decision
going forward, Childress said.
The coach said he didnt think
the Vikings quit, but some players
wondered aloud whether every-
ones effort was there.
The score could indicate that,
but again without watching the
film I dont know, Favre said.
Favre insisted hes committed to
the team despite failing to directly
answer questions about whether
he wants to finish the season.
Im here, and were in this
thing together, Favre said.
Tramon Williams intercepted
Favre to stop a long Vikings drive,
and Rodgers took the Packers the
other way for a touchdown to
James Jones in the final minute of
the first half to give the visitors a
17-3 lead. Favre and close friend
Darrell Bevell, the offensive coor-
dinator, were seen on TV snap-
ping at each other on the sideline
after the interception.
The Go Pack Go! cry from
the Wisconsin transplants and
travelers grew louder as the game
went on, with Vikings fans getting
in a few Fire Childress! chants
for good measure.
I need to say a big thank you
to our fans, Rodgers said.
Wide receiver Sidney Rice
made his season debut for the
Vikings after missing the first
nine games following hip surgery,
finishing with three catches for
56 yards.
