The University of Kansas may
have lost basketball bragging
rights this year, but the School of
Journalism won the national cham-
pionship in writing, placing first in
the 47th annual Hearst Journalism
Awards Program intercollegiate
writing competition.
Once again, KU journal-
ism students have shown that this
University traditionally excels at the
highest levels in areas other than
basketball, said Ted Frederickson,
professor of journalism. Since the
Hearst Awards are highly competi-
tive and recognize only exceptional
reporting and writing, finishing first
is a major accomplishment.
The University of Missouri came
in second place and Arizona State
University placed third. A total of
107 accredited schools of under-
graduate journalism participated in
the competition.
The School of Journalism
was awarded $15,800 for its

Hannah Love, Dodge City

Love and Wittlinger, surround-

The moment Love and
Wittlinger worked months for

With 51 percent of the student

by 440 votes and Students Rights
by 1754 votes.

Walter Mondale did more than
just serve as vice president of the
United States for Jimmy Carter in the
late 1970s.
He essentially created the modern
vice presidency, said Bill Lacy, direc-
tor of the Dole Institute of Politics.
Mondale spoke Thursday night to
a sold-out crowd in the Dole lecture
hall, a building he was more than
obliged to visit.
I am delighted and stunned
by the beauty of this Dole center,
Mondale said.
The former vice president dis-
cussed not only his role in revamping
the second-in-command position,
but he also shared his views on cur-
rent politics, as well as his respect for
Sen. Robert Dole.
He said Dole had been a war hero
in Americas greatest generation and
he had the ability to work with both
parties during his years in office.
Hes got a second engine that
most of us dont have, Mondale said.
His father, Theodore Mondale, was
a liberal preacher who always talked
about a social gospel, which asked
Christians to give personal worship
to God as well as give service to their
fellow human beings.
Mondale said that inspired him
to get involved in public office at an
early age.
It just came naturally, he said.
I think I was on the trail at 16 years
old.

Delta Force found a reason to
celebrate despite losing the presi-
dency and vice presidency.
Before the results were complete-
ly announced on KJHK, students at
the Delta Force party were getting
excited, and were preparing to open
champagne. Delta Force won 13 of
14 junior/senior Senate seats.
We got a lot of Senate seats;
thats really important, John Cross,
Kansas City, Mo., junior and presi-
dential nominee for Delta Force,
said.
Cross said he was disappointed
that Delta Force didnt win the top
two seats, but remained positive for
the partys future on campus.
Liz Stewe, Lawrence junior and
vice presidential nominee, said she
was pleased with the work Delta
Force had put into the campaign.
The platform most important
to Stewe was getting free sexually
transmitted disease and infection
testing at Watkins Health Center
for students. Delta Force also cam-
paigned for expanding the blue-
light system off-campus and mak-
ing the bus system more convenient
for students.
Phillip Murphy, Lawrence gradu-
ate student and an elected graduate
school student senator, said it was
a successful campaign without the
president and vice president seats.
Im looking forward to doing
the things we said we were going to
do on our platform, getting them
done, Murphy said.
Delta Force won 27 seats for
school student senators. It received
40 percent of the vote for presi-
dent and vice president, as opposed
to Students Rights 7 percent, and
United Students 51 percent.
After the election, results were
completely announced, the radio
was turned off so party members
and supporters could congratulate
Cross on his hard work.
Cross said that regardless of the
outcome, everyone in the room had
contributed to the campaign, and
he was grateful for their support.
As long as were making good
things happen on campus, thats all
that matters.

Johnathan Wilson and Caitlin
Ballard awaited anxiously with
approximately 10 Students Rights
senator nominees at El Mezcal on
23rd Street for the Student Senate
announcements.
After a large AMP energy drink,
Wilson, Paola sophomore and
Students Rights presidential nomi-
nee, said that his heart was racing
and that he was extremely nervous.
Ballard, Overland Park junior and
vice-presidential nominee, agreed.
After everything youve sacri-
ficed, it all comes down to a one-
minute announcement, Ballard
said.
The radio wasnt audible where
the group was sitting, but after fran-
tic cellular phone calls, the word
came in the Students Rights
nominees didnt win any seats in
the senate. United Students won
the president and vice-president
seats, and Delta Force and United
Students occupied all of the remain-
ing senate seats.
Wilson became silent. Ballard
said she was not surprised by the
results, but was still proud of their
accomplishments.
Ballard said she hoped the newly
elected Student Senate would use
Students Rights platform about a
textbook rental program.
I just want it to be done, even if
its not by me, Ballard said.
Ballard said that it was hard
being a smaller third party, but they
hoped to be around a long time to
gain more name recognition and
respect.
Wilson said he was upset with
the results, but, like Ballard, was not
surprised.
Going into it, I thought we
could have a chance to get elected,
but I knew we were up against fierce
competition, Wilson said.
With only 15 senators on their
ticket and no budget, Wilson said it
made it difficult to win office. Both
candidates said they sacrificed a lot
for the campaign.
Its not all for nothing, though,
Wilson said. We established a
name.
Ballard was positive that her
Senate involvement was not fin-
ished. She said that she and Wilson
still wanted to have an influence on
the student community.
You havent seen the last of us,
Ballard said.

Delta Force claims 27 Senate seats
real facilitators of this.
Love said the coalitions fresh-
man/sophomore students did amaz-
ingly. United Students secured all 14
freshman/sophomore Senate seats.
Wittlinger said all the coalitions
hard work was for the student body.
After hugs, tears and fist-pounds
with supporters, Love and Wittlinger
congratulated their fellow coalition
members on their hard work and
success.
United Students secured a single
Senate seat in each of the engi-
neering, education, law, journalism,
junior/senior CLAS, pharmacy and
graduate schools.
The coalition received two Senate
seats for both the business and social
welfare schools, and one non-tradi-
tional senator.
Four United Students candidates
were elected as off-campus senators
and one as a residential senator.
Wittlinger said he and Love were
honored that the student body came
out and voted for them.
They put their trust in us to do
what we promised, Wittlinger said.
Now we can do that.
Love said she was looking for-
ward to a good nights sleep.
Wittlinger said he would sleep on
Friday because the rest of the night
was for celebrating.
The next step for Wittlinger and
Love is to start putting together their
executive staff, including Senate sec-
retary and treasurer, for next year.
Theres a lot work to be done in
the next few weeks, Love said.

The Raintree Run, Lawrences
annual half-marathon, received a
new route, new management and
a new name this year. Now called
the Lawrence Half-Marathon and
5K, Sundays race features a more
historic tour of the city.
My husband wanted it to be
a destination event, said Marcia
Riley, new coordinator for the Half-
Marathon and 5K. After you run by
these locations, youll know youve
been somewhere.
Riley said that participants in
the 13 mile half-marathon will start
at the Coffin Complex at Haskell
University. The participants will
then go on a full tour of Lawrence,
including Langston Hughes house
near New Jersey and Eighth Streets.
They will also pass by James
Naismiths grave in east Lawrence.
We wanted the runners to actu-
ally run around Naismiths grave,
but I dont think family members
would be too happy with 1,000 peo-
ple stomping across a cemetary,
Riley said.
Also included in the course are
the Massachusetts Street downtown
area, Memorial Drive and Jayhawk
Boulevard. These areas will be
closed to through traffic starting at
8:15 a.m. Sunday.
All proceeds from the Half-
Marathon and 5K will be donat-
ed to Health Care Access Clinic.
Donations from the one-mile fun
run/walk will go to the former direc-
tors of the Raintree Run for medical
expenses.
Elizabeth Kane, Bartlesville,
Okla., sophomore, placed second
in the female age 1 through 19
category for the Raintree Run 2006.
She did a 10-week training program
to prepare herself for the half-mara-
thon.
Around the nine-mile mark dur-
ing the race, I just about hit the wall,
Kane said. But, I got a second wind.
I wasnt even sore the next day.
She said that running long dis-
tances shouldnt intimidate anyone
interested. For Kane, running is now
something enjoyable and fun to do,
but she admits she cant survive
without her iPod.
Music makes a big difference to
me, Kane said. If I dont have my
iPod, the distance seems so much
longer. I just put it on shuffle, get
out, and go.
Although Kane said she never
really stretched, Sandy Bowman,
supervisor of physical therapy at
Watkins Memorial Health Center,
said to stretch and prepare the body
was imperative for a successful run.
Bowman suggested slow and sus-
tained leg stretches that included
the calves, hamstrings, and quad
muscles. She also said to prepare the
day before for any potential prob-
lems or injuries.
Prepare the night before as far
as what youre going to wear and
get those clothes laid out, Bowman
said. If youve had any problems,
like blisters, get taping supplies out
ahead of time too.
Bowman said that the major
problem runners faced was dehy-
dration during long distances.
For an extra boost of carbo-
hydrate energy, Bambinos at the
Grove, 1801 Massachusetts St., is
offering a Saturday pasta lunch and
dinner at a discount for race partici-
pants, family and friends.

Day on the Hill, an outdoor con-
cert with multiple bands playing
all afternoon, will be held Saturday
beginning at noon on the Lied
Center lawn. The concert wont be
free this year.
Admission for the event is $5
for students and $10 for the pub-
lic. Because SUA brought other
big-name artists like Ben Folds and
Kathy Griffin to KU this year, there
was not enough money left to bring
in other major headliners without
charging admission.
Headliners for this years concerts
are G. Love & Special Sauce and The
Faint. Opening for them are The
Roseline and Pomeroy.
Large tents will be set up to cover
the crowd from inclement weather
and heat will be pumped into the
tents to keep fans comfortable.
Susan Hoffman, SUA advisor,
said she negotiated the cost with G.
Love & Special Sauce to come down
in their talent fees.
Usually they ask $30,000 to
$35,000 for a show, Hoffman said.
Were paying them $25,000.
SUA, whose funds are derived
from student fees, is paying The
Faint $20,000 for their set.
Pearl Jam made an appearance at
Day on the Hill in 1992, charging
a $3,000 talent fee. Bailey DeReus,
SUA president, said other artists as
famous today, like The Killers, had
talent fees upwards of $50,000.
Pearl Jam was the first famous
headliner to perform at Day on the
Hill, but they werent famous when
they made their appearance.
No one knew about Pearl Jam
then. They were up-and-coming,
Hoffman said. It was a fluke.
Tickets can be purchased at the
door, but DeReus said she expect-
ed long lines and a large walk-up
crowd.
The concert hasnt been held on
Campanile hill since 2002. Too many
people on a muddy hill caused the
hill to be torn up right before grad-
uation. Burns said the misfortune
ended in a University regulation
which caused the concert to be held
elsewhere in the future.
The Lied Center lawn is the only
other outdoor facility big enough,
Burns said.

Profile
Stellar student can do it all
By Brian lewis-jones
Michelle Tran has an insatiable
interest in nearly everything and
almost anybody. Eager and curious,
she said she likes to take risks and
step outside of her comfort zone,
which, in high school, included call-
ing complete strangers to hear about
their stories.
Its when you get to meet people
and get to know them, she said,
You learn people can surprise you.
Tran, Derby senior, works as a stu-
dent assistant at the Dole Institute of
Politics. Shes a 2006-07 KU Woman
of Distinction and will attend gradu-
ate school at Harvard this fall to
pursue her masters degree in public
policy.
Trans parents came to the United
States from Vietnam in 1975. She
grew up in a red brick house built by
her father near Wichitas McConnell
Air Force Base on a plot of land larg-
er than 10 acres. She said she used to
watch air shows from the roof and
grew various vegetables in the yard
during the summertime.
Tran speaks four languages
English, Vietnamese, Russian
and Arabic. Shell be playing in an
African drumming ensemble this
Sunday at the Sisimuka Africa cul-
tural celebration in the Woodruff
Auditorium. Tran said great percus-
sion and drumming just makes me
feel like dancing.
Shes learning how to play the
accordion and the banjo. Tran also
dabbles in flamenco dancing, rugby
and calligraphy. She said her mom,
who had beautiful handwriting, had
several old calligraphy pens when
Tran was young. To learn more, Tran
checked out all of the calligraphy
books at the library.
Its pretty special when you
have a handwritten note or an invi-
tation, she said. Somebody put
work into that.
At the Dole Institute of Politics,
Tran helps with study groups and
creates advertisements and flyers.
Bill Lacy, director of the institute,
said student assistants were heavily
integrated into the program, allow-
ing them to meet world leaders
and gain workplace responsibility.
Lacy said Tran was bright, per-
sonable and had the determination
to do just about anything.
Shell be where she chooses to
be in 20 years whether shes serv-
ing in congress, running a business
somewhere, being a scholar, he
said, she has the will to make that
happen.
Tran said she wanted to work at
Dole to figure out where to hang
my hat. She said after graduate
school, she wants to work as a
foreign service officer for the U.S.
State Department.
I just want to see more people
working together, Tran said.
Because her parents didnt have
the opportunity for college in
Vietnam, she said it was amazing
how in one generation, her two
brothers, two sisters and herself
had all that they had.
People are given so much,
Tran said. Im amazed when I
look around me and see whats
made from the human mind.

SPouting off
CBS puts fnal nail
in Imus cofn
By DaViD BaUDer
associateD Press
NEW YORK CBS fired Don
Imus from his radio program
Thursday, the finale to a stunning fall
for one of the nations most prominent
broadcasters.
Imus initially was given a two-week
suspension for calling the Rutgers
womens basketball team nappy-
headed hos on the air last week, but
outrage continued to grow and adver-
tisers bolted from his CBS radio show
and its MSNBC simulcast.
There has been much discussion
of the effect language like this has on
our young people, particularly young
women of color trying to make their
way in this society, CBS President
and Chief Executive Officer Leslie
Moonves said in announcing the deci-
sion. That consideration has weighed
most heavily on our minds as we
made our decision.
Rutgers womens basketball team
spokeswoman Stacey Brann said the
team did not have an immediate com-
ment on Imus firing.
Time Magazine once named the
cantankerous broadcaster as one of
the 25 Most Influential People in
America, and he was a member of the
National Broadcaster Hall of Fame.
But Imus found himself at the cen-
ter of a storm as protests intensified.
On Wednesday, MSNBC dropped the
simulcast of Imus show.
Losing Imus will be a financial hit
to CBS Radio, which also suffered
when Howard Stern departed for satel-
lite radio. The program is worth about
$15 million in annual revenue to CBS,
which owns Imus home radio station
WFAN-AM and manages Westwood
One, the company that syndicates the
show across the country.
The Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse
Jackson met with Moonves on
Thursday to demand Imus removal,
promising a rally outside CBS head-
quarters Saturday and an effort to
persuade more advertisers to abandon
Imus.

Video catches jail guard
hitting inmate with book
MANKATO, Minn. A jail guard
has been suspended after alleg-
edly thumping an inmate with a
Bible.
James Lee Sheppard, 56, has
been charged with two gross mis-
demeanors for allegedly swatting
a Blue Earth County Jail inmate
with the book, grabbing him by
the throat and slamming him
against steel bars on Feb. 8, ac-
cording to the criminal complaint.
A video shows a guard enter-
ing the cell of inmate Jeremy
Hansen, 26. The guard then takes
Hansens Bible and strikes him in
the side of the face with the book.
The two exchange words as the
guard walks away, said Mankato
Police Ofcer Allen Schmidt who
watched the video.
The rest of the confronta-
tion was not captured on video
because of an object obstructing
the camera. But the complaint
states that Sheppard walked back
toward Hansen, grabbed him and
pushed him into the cell bars.
Dennis McCoy, Blue Earth
County administrator, said Shep-
pard was the frst to report the
confrontation. He knew he vio-
lated policy and, to his credit, he
turned himself in, McCoy said.

Jury indicts U.S. citizen
for al-Qaida conspiracy
COLUMBUS, Ohio A federal
grand jury indicted a U.S. citizen
on charges of joining al-Qaida and
conspiring to bomb European
tourist resorts and U.S. govern-
ment facilities and military bases
overseas.
Christopher Paul, 43, of Colum-
bus, trained with al-Qaida in the
early 1990s, the indictment issued
Wednesday says. The indictment
says he told al-Qaida members
in Pakistan and Afghanistan that
he was dedicated to committing
violent jihad.
Paul is charged with provid-
ing material support to terrorists,
conspiracy to provide support to
terrorists and conspiracy to use a
weapon of mass destruction.
Fred Alverson, spokesman for
the U.S. attorneys ofce in Colum-
bus, said Thursday that he couldnt

Writer
critiqued
culture,
politics
By CRISTIAN SALAZAR
ASSoCIATed PReSS
NEW YORK In books such as
Slaughterhouse-Five, Cats Cradle,
and Hocus Pocus, Kurt Vonnegut
mixed the bitter and funny with a
touch of the profound.
Vonnegut, regarded by many crit-
ics as a key influence in shaping
20th-century American literature,
died Wednesday at 84. He had suf-
fered brain injuries after a recent fall
at his Manhattan home.
Norman Mailer hailed Vonnegut
as a marvelous writer with a style
that remained undeniably and
imperturbably his own. ... I would
salute him our own Mark Twain.
He was sort of like nobody else,
said another fellow author, Gore
Vidal. Kurt was never dull.
Vonneguts works more than
a dozen novels plus short stories,
essays and plays contained ele-
ments of social commentary, science
fiction and autobiography.
A self-described religious skep-
tic and freethinking humanist,
Vonnegut used protagonists such as
Billy Pilgrim (Slaughterhouse-Five)
and Eliot Rosewater (God Bless
You, Mr. Rosewater) as transparent
vehicles for his points of view.
Vonnegut lectured regularly,
exhorting audiences to think for
themselves and delighting in barbed
commentary against the institutions
he felt were dehumanizing people.
He was a man who combined
a wicked sense of humor and sort
of steady moral compass, who was
always sort of looking at the big
picture of the things that were most
important, said Joel Bleifuss, editor
of In These Times, a liberal maga-
zine based in Chicago that featured
Vonnegut articles.
Slaughterhouse-Five was a
World War II novel embraced by
opponents of the Vietnam War, link-
ing a so-called good war to the
unpopular conflict of the 1960s and
70s.
Some of Vonneguts books were
banned and burned for alleged
obscenity. He took on censorship as
an active member of the PEN writ-
ers aid group and the American
Civil Liberties Union.
The American Humanist
Association, which promotes indi-
vidual freedom, rational thought
and scientific skepticism, made
him its honorary president.
Vonnegut said the villains in his
books were never individuals, but
culture, society and history, which
he said were making a mess of the
planet.

author Kurt Vonnegut Jr. is shown in NewYork City in 1979. Kurt Vonneguts wife says the sa-
tirical novelist of works such as Slaughterhouse-FiveandCats CradlediedWednesday at age 84.

Media constructs
needless outrage
letter to the editor
Commentary
Have you heard? Someone on
the radio said something stupid.
No doubt this story has
proved inescapable to you over
the past few days if you seek
out any kind of respectable
news source. Though it seemed
unthinkable that any story could
displace the revelation of Anna
Nicole Smiths daughters lin-
eage, the Don Imus story has
done just that. CNN, apparently
bored already with that story
and the Department of Justice
firings scandal, has wrapped
itself in the Imus story with
astonishing vigor.
Imus is not the first person
in radio history to say some-
thing outrageous, and he will
not be the last. Talk radio, as a
forum, lends itself to unfortu-
nate statements; endless ram-
bling through long stretches
of airtime can often produce
regrettable remarks. And yes, we
can all acknowledge the utterly
reprehensible nature of what
Imus said about the Rutgers
basketball team. But this story
is symptomatic of a larger trend
that may prove far more disturb-
ing: the careful manufacturing
of outrage.
Social cause-based groups
have in the last few years per-
fected the art of constructing
indignation. It has become a
well-honed process: wait for
an offensive statement from
the troubled celebrity du jour,
whip your constituents into a
frenzy by calling this statement
indicative of a larger societal
ill, and rely on the media to
report on the widening calls
for action. Professional instiga-
tors, Al Sharpton chief among
them (perhaps to distract from
the now-evident error of his
statements on the Duke lacrosse
case), succeed by knowing
exactly which emotional pitch to
use with their supporters.
Media outlets are delightfully
complacent in the develop-
ment, gladly pushing aside war
and economic news to report
on the parade of apologies the
tarnished celebrity must stage
to curry favor with the offended
groups. The outlets themselves
become a bizarre echo chamber
if two stations do stories on
the scandal, ten other stations
can then breathlessly discuss the
increasing media attention,
perpetuating the story even
further.
And for what? CNN may
lament with affected empathy
the supposed theft of the teams
moment, but it gleefully pushes
the story hour after hour, barely
masking its joy at such a sala-
cious tale. One day soon, Imus
will recede into the night as the
wizened curmudgeon he has
become, and the media outlets
will wait, reporting dourly and
begrudgingly on actual news,
until the next pseudo-scandal
comes along. Then the beast
of manufactured outrage and
formulaic anger will again arise,
and the discouraging cycle will
begin anew.
McKay Stangler for the
editorial board
extra airport precautions cause hysteria
If we change our way of life, then
the terrorists have won.
Judging from the scenes at vari-
ous airports, were waving the white
flag now.
After September 11, airport secu-
rity ramped up considerably. More
individuals were pulled out of line
for examinations, carry-on luggage
was randomly checked by hand and
any sharp objects were now banned.
I didnt mind the new security.
No one really even batted an eye
after the Shoe Bomber incident,
when everyone then had to remove
their shoes before going through the
metal detector.
No, I can say that none of the new
security measures really bothered
me, up until the hysteria peaked last
August. British intelligence received
word that a terrorist ring was plan-
ning on using liquid explosives to
destroy planes in midair. On top of
that, the attacks were supposedly
imminent. The resulting chaos was
right out of a disaster movie.
All liquids and gels were banned
from flights. Chapstick, makeup,
eye drops, that expensive win you
picked up on the Napa tour, it all
got chucked into huge trash bins.
London Heathrow airport turned
into a veritable parking lot in the
days following the
threat as delayed
flights backed up
while officials tried
to sort out the
threat. Carry-ons
were banned and
people had to put
all personal items
in a see-through
plastic bag.
Even now, near-
ly a year later, the
rules have relaxed
only slightly. Some
liquids are allowed,
in small quantities.
British airports
allow you one
meager carry-on
when flying out
of their terminals
(most international
flights allow for
at least two). You
may still get felt up
at the whim of the
TSA official at your gate.
This paranoia proves to me one
thing: terrorists dont have to do
anything. All they have to do is say
that theyre going to do something,
and then sit back and watch the
panic hit. All it took was a little
chatter (about a
plot that turned
out to be in its
planning stages,
still years off)
and flights were
delayed, travelers
inconvenienced
and the public
generally fright-
ened.
It goes without
saying that airport
security is extreme-
ly important and
the threat of terror-
ism exists. I know
Id rather have
to take my shoes
off than be on a
bombed plane.
However, is it too
much to ask that
a little common
sense be used?
On a trip last
year, my par-
ents reported seeing a Mennonite
woman being frisked in the air-
port, which included the TSA
official poking through her bonnet
(because thats where Mennonite
women keep their explosives, you
see). People at Heathrow last sum-
mer had extremely personal items
(such as tampons and other unmen-
tionables) flashed about for thou-
sands of other people to see, their
privacy virtually gone. A photo that
Time magazine ran a few years ago,
of a little boy being scanned by a
handheld metal detector, should be
Exhibit A that maybe were taking
this a little too far.
Flying is a service bought and
paid for, and no one should be
treated like a criminal or like cattle
while using it. If any of this actually
made us safer, it might be a little dif-
ferent. However, in the years since
September 11, people have made it
onto planes easily with items such
as box cutters and matches. So
whats the point of hassle and public
humiliation if the banned items are
going to get on the plane anyway?
Perhaps its time for TSA and their

This paranoia proves to me one
thing: terrorists dont have to
do anything. All they have to do
is say that theyre going to do
something, and then sit back
and watch the panic hit. All it
took was a little chatter (about
a plot that turned out to be in
its planning stages, still years
of) and fights were delayed.
Free For All comment deemed ofensive, obscene
I am writing to express my out-
rage and disgust at the severe lack
of editorial oversight in the Kansan.
On Monday April 9 in the Free
for All section this statement was
published: Jesus is being crucified
in front of Wescoe. What an atten-
tion whore. The printing of this
obscene and slanderous statement
can only be regarded as an act of
intolerance toward your readers
who hold the name of Jesus as
both Holy and sacred. Therefore, I
recommend that the editorial staff
of the Kansan make an apology
for allowing such a heinous com-
ment to be printed. In the future,
I also strongly recommend that
the editorial staff hold fast to their
own editorial policy with regards to
Free For All which states: Kansan
editors reserve the right to omit
comments. Slanderous and obscene
statements will not be printed.

He said when he and Carter were
elected vice president and president in
1976, the vice presidency was viewed
at that time as an iffy office.
The vice president worked in both
the executive and legislative branches
of government, though the vice presi-
dent was wanted in neither, he said.
He told Carter he thought he could
serve the president better as a senator
than as a vice president. But Carter
insisted on the position and said that
for the first time Mondale would be
playing an integral role in the admin-
istration.
We executised the vice presiden-
cy, Mondale said.
He said that the expanded role of
vice president has been taken too far
in the current executive administra-
tion, and said that the vice president
has now tried to influence various
agencies about what to tell the presi-
dent.
Carter wouldnt like that, he
said.
Mondale said there used to be
more mutual respect between rivals
in the Senate, as well as in presidential
debates, compared with a more argu-
mentative state of politics today. He
stressed the need to return to those
days when honest differences were
accepted among political rivals.
It was about having an argument
while accepting the good will of the
opponent, he said. This dividing
America, trying to destroy each other,
does not work.
He also called the Iraq-war issue
the elephant in the room for the
2008 presidential candidates to take
stands on.
Mondale said growing tensions
with Iran also needed to be handled
diplomatically, rather than through
initial force.
Lets continue to put pressure on
Iran to stop nuclear weapons, but lets
also try to get some diplomatic talks
with them, he said.

ing the vice president from his great

Even though the calendar reads
April, campus might feel a little like
October on Sunday. Cool weather,
tailgating and football will come
together at the annual spring scrim-
mage at 3:30 Sunday afternoon.
After five weeks of practices and
workouts, the 2007 Kansas football
team will put itself on display for the
public. Though the spring game is
only a scrimmage, it gives fans and
media an opportunity to see the
programs progress since last season
and allows the coaching staff to see
some of the younger players in game
situations.
Spring ball is important, coach
Mark Mangino said. It sets the
tempo for the next fall.
The mediocre performance of
last years team left plenty of room
for improvements and adjustments,
the first of which was implementing
a new offense.
New offensive coordinator Ed
Warinner has brought to Kansas
an offense that players call excit-
ing, up-tempo and different. It
remains to be seen if sophomore
quarterbacks Kerry Meier and Todd
Reesing can make the necessary
adjustments to the new scheme.
How the quarterbacks fare in the
spring scrimmage could help sort
out the battle for playing time that
has gone on since late last season.
Several young defensive linemen
should provide the defense with a
spark of its own. Sophomore Max
Onyegbule is linebacker-turned-
defensive end who possesses more
speed than the average lineman. At
6-foot-7, sophomore defensive end
Jeff Wheeler has enough height to
frequently disrupt the sightlines of
opposing quarterbacks.
The spring game will also be the
first chance for new Jayhawks to
suit up and play in front of fans at
Memorial Stadium. Junior defensive
backs Patrick Resby and Kendrick
Harper are recent additions from

Time off has been something
the Kansas softball team has lacked
recently but not this week.
The Jayhawks (27-14-1, 3-4 Big
12) only game this week against
Missouri on Wednesday was can-
celed because of poor conditions.
The game was postponed. Kansas
returns to the field Saturday against
No. 5 Texas A&M (31-6, 5-3) at
Arrocha Ballpark.
We havent had a chance to have
a solid practice in a couple weeks,
Bunge said going into the Texas
game.
Without a game this entire week,
Bunge and the Jayhawks certainly
had some quality practice time. Its
something the team has been in
need during its recent stretch of
games. The Jayhawks hold a record
of 5-5 in its last 10 games.
The Aggies come into the game
on a big defensive stand. They have
not allowed a run in their last 3
games and scored 11 of their own.
With losses to Texas, Oklahoma
and Baylor all of which ranked in
the Top 15 in the nation the Aggies
are 6-5 against Top 25 teams.
The latest polls give Kansas three
votes to be ranked in the Top 25. A
sweep of the Aggies would certainly
put them there.

profile
scrimmage doubles as proving ground
A
ll the hype surrounding
the Kerry Meier/Todd
Reesing quarterback
situation is overshadowing the
bigger question: who will step
up at running back and fill Jon
Cornishs shoes?
Right now, Angus Quigley,
Jake Sharp and Gary Green seem
to be in the mix for the starting
spot. Quigley missed last season
because of an injured thigh, but
he appears to be the front-runner
for the job.
He has the best size, at 6-foot-
2, 210 pounds, and was slated to
split carries with Cornish before
last season.
If Kansas wants to make it
back to a bowl game, Quigley
will have to become the horse
that carries the offense or,
possibly Jake Sharp. Last season,
whenever Sharp got the ball, he
was a tough runner. He averaged
just over six yards a carry on 21
carries.
Between Quigley and Sharp, I
expect one to become the start-
ing running back, getting 15 to
20 carries a game, with the other
getting about 10 carries a game.
While its too early to deter-
mine just how good hell be, the
talk surrounding incoming fresh-
man Carmon Boyd-Anderson
is promising. I would not be
surprised if he comes in as a dark
horse and gets some carries right
away.
There is also a lot of talk about
the Jayhawks becoming more
of a passing team which is
about as bad an idea as moving
the Missouri game to Arrowhead
Stadium.
There is no way Kansas will
make it to a bowl game if it
doesnt run the ball 30-plus times
a game. It hired Ed Warinner as
offensive coordinator and, on
paper, it appears he is best suited
for a running offense. Despite
Illinois being the laughingstock
of the Big Ten at 2-10 last sea-
son, Warinners offensive line
opened up running lanes as the
Illini became the top rushing
attack in the conference. So, why
would Kansas switch to a pass-
ing offense? It just doesnt make
sense.
Basically, losing the guy that
ignited the Jayhawk offense
last season, Cornish, will be a
lot tougher to replace than the
quarterback competition between
Meier and Reesing. Im confident
either one will be able to run the
offense effectively as long as
they have a dependable guy in
the backfield.
Come Sunday, during the
annual spring scrimmage, how
the running backs look will have
a lot more influence this season
than how the quarterbacks look.

Assistant coach Kevin Frady over-
heard last years All-American and
NCBWA Stopper of the Year Don
Czyz pay his former catcher a com-
pliment when he returned to visit
the team earlier this year.
Buck, I hated throwing to you
last year, but I love throwing to you
this year, Czyz said.
Sophomore catcher Buck Afenir
has almost completed his 180-degree
turnaround from the freshman he
was last year to the starting catcher
he is this season. After splitting time
behind the plate with senior Dylan
Parzyk in 2006, Afenir has taken
over the reigns this season.
In the 33 games he started and
the 42 in which he saw time last
year, the Atascadero, Calif. native hit
just .278 with four home runs and
16 RBI. Barely halfway through the
2007 campaign, Afenir has passed
his home run mark (5) and RBI (23)
total and is hitting a solid .307.
I think the turning point this
year was when coach Price came
up to me and was like Whats the
deal? Whats going on? at the begin-
ning of the year when I was doing
well, but I wasnt
really breaking
out or anything,
Afenir said.
He told me to
go 100 percent,
Nobodys going
to get mad at you
if go 100 percent
and mess up.
And thats what
I was afraid of
messing up
and getting yanked out of the lineup.
Now I know that as long as Im going
as hard as I can that coach Price is
behind me. Thats a good feeling.
Evidently, its a really good feeling.
Even when coach Price rested his
catcher in the final game of the Texas
series last weekend, he chose to keep
Afenirs bat in the lineup as the
designated hitter. Afenir responded,
going 3-for-4 in his first collegiate
start in that spot.
Prices confidence in Afenir was
apparent long before he took a chance
on the sopho-
more as the des-
ignated hitter.
In fact, Price is
the primary rea-
son Afenir is a

Two years
ago, Afenir was
recruited by
many schools
during his
senior year, one
of which was the three-hour drive
from home, Stanford. From little-
league through high school, Afenir
had been coached by his dad, Steve.
Price liked that idea, knowing that
meant Afenir grew up in a baseball
family. Steve Afenir, on the other

Sometimes the best medicine for
a struggling team is a cupcake vic-
tory against a weak opponent. The
problem for the Kansas tennis team
is that their schedule isnt exactly
doing them any favors.
After five straight losses, the
Kansas Jayhawks will host No. 30
Colorado on Sunday. Colorado
comes to town following two
straight victories, while posting a
5-2 record in the Big 12 and 12-
6 mark overall. Following a five-
match slide, Kansas finds itself at
2-6 in the Big 12 and 4-13 overall.
The theme of the losing streak
has been missed opportunities,
and the Jayhawks missed a big one
against Kansas State on Wednesday.
After eight straight losses in the
No. 1 and No. 2 doubles positions,
junior Lauren Hommell and fresh-
man Kunigunda Dorn ended the
streak with a huge victory against
Katerina Kudlackova and Olga
Klimova of Kansas State at No. 2
doubles. But Kansas couldnt capi-
talize, as junior Elizaveta Avdeeva
and sophomore Edina Horvath
fell at No. 1 doubles. Kansas State
gained control of the match and
went on to a 5-2 victory.
Hommell and Dorn do appear
to be gaining chemistry, and that
bodes well for a Kansas team that
has had a laundry list of troubles on
the doubles court.
Were getting better, Hommell
said after her doubles victory
against Kansas State. Weve been
playing well at practice, just getting
to know each others game, and Im
feeling more comfortable with her
in the matches.
Hommell started the season
paired with Dorn but also spent
time playing doubles with sopho-
more Yuliana Svistun and junior
Stephanie Smith.
Colorado sophomore standout
Monica Milewski, ranked No. 42
in the country, is one reason why
Colorado sits at fifth place in the
Big 12. Milewski, the ITA/Central
Region Rookie of the Year last year,
has provided a solid No. 1 singles
player for Colorado, boasting a 13-
5 record and 5-2 in the Big 12.
Coach Amy Hall-Holt expressed
her teams dissatisfaction after the
match.
Theyre tired of it, she said.
The Jayhawks have persevered
and tried to stay positive.
We cant get down on ourselves,
Stephanie Smith said earlier this
week. We have a desire to finish
out the season strong.
Kansas defeated Colorado twice
last season, including a 4-3 come-
from-behind victory in the 1st
round of Big 12 Championships.
An upset win against Colorado in
its last home match of the season
would do wonders for a teams that
is desperately in need of a victory.

The Kansas rowing team is ready
for some confused looks when it
travels to the East Coast this week-
end.
Usually we get, Youre from
Kansas. Theres water there? junior
rower Annie Sims said.
Even random people in the air-
port have questioned whether the
team had water to practice on in
the past, senior rower Tiffany Jeffers
said.
Obviously we do, she said.
Coach Rob Catloth said the geo-
graphical misconception provided
humorous motivation for the team
as it prepared for the Knecht Cup
on Saturday and Sunday in Camden,
N.J.
Sims said the regatta was an
opportunity for
the rowers to
dispel the myths
that a school
from Kansas
couldnt possibly
have a good row-
ing team.
Kansas 12-
year-old rowing program will race
against long-established and rec-
ognized programs from across the
country, including Gonzaga, whose
varsity eight boat got votes in this
weeks U.S. Rowing Poll.
Senior coxswain Samira Naji said
the team was ready to race against
teams from outside the Midwest.
The East
Coast mental-
ity of rowing is
really competi-
tive, and its nice
to get a taste
of that, senior
coxswain Samira
Naji said.
More than 50 schools will com-
pete at the Knecht Cup. Kansas
will race against three to five boats
in each race and have to advance
through preliminary races to reach
the grand finals.
The large field 29 first varsity
eight boats will compete in five heats
will allow Kansas the opportunity
to match up with teams that dont
race in the Midwest.
It will be a good test of where we
are because we havent had any big
races, Jeffers said.
Larger races tended to be more
exciting and faster because there was
more competition, she said, but there
was also more to pay attention to.
Catloth said this weekends races
could set the tone for the rest of the
season.
Its still an early-season race, but
we need to use all the races we have
this week to improve and come back
calm after this race as a more sea-
soned team, Catloth said.
The team practiced in back-up
boats Thursday because the compe-
tition boats had already left for New
Jersey on a trailer.
Kansas last traveled to the Knecht
Cup in 2005. The Jayhawks varsity
four boat won its grand finals race,
and three other boats placed second
in grand finals races.

I wouldnt say he got bent out of

I first started talking to coach Price,
he was like No. Im not sending my

ing about like I had a girlfriend
back home, Afenir said. That was
just so tough with the long distance,
and I was trying to keep in touch with
everybody back home. Its weird, but
youve kind of just got to let it go.
The difficulty of balancing that
and preparing to be a starting catcher
in the Big 12 Conference caught up
to the freshman. After being able to
rely on raw talent in high school, as
he put it, Afenirs level of play and the
offensive power that Price recruited
him for became inconsistent.
Price said that a lot of the time the
players with the most intelligence are
the ones who beat themselves up the
most. The happy-go-lucky attitude
that Frady uses to describe Afenirs
attitude in 2007 was much different
in 2006.
Last year, Id have some little
streak and then suck, then have
another little streak, Afenir said. I
think this year consistency is the
main thing. Its just fun. Knowing that
Im out there with my best friends is
really helpful.
Now, the guy who likes to take
naps before games and thinks of
his mom watching during televised
games, is hitting his stride. He no
longer feels threatened by the thought
of being replaced by another of the
Jayhawks four catchers. Although
Frady and Price have never com-
pletely ruled that out and even dis-
cuss the need for improvement in his
throwing. However, besides having
to break Afenir of calling him dude
and bro, Frady is happy with the
sophomore and his showing of the
confidence he believes his catchers
should have.
You see him in the locker room,
hes always got a smile, always got
that devilish grin on his face and
you wonder what the heck is going
on upstairs, Frady said. But I think
thats what makes him successful.

Kansas is led offensively by soph-
omore shortstop Stevie Crisosto,
who is leads the team in batting
average (.346), runs (29) and hits
(44).
Sophomore catcher Elle Pottorf
is leading the team in home runs (8)
and runs batted in (33).
Defensively the Jayhawks have 46
errors this season. They committed
60 total errors last year and hope
to stay under that number with 15
regular season games left.
Senior pitcher Kassie Humphreys
has been a machine for the pitching
staff. She has thrown for 130 total
innings, struck out 153 batters and
held a 2.10 ERA.
The Jayhawks are 0-3 at home
this season against Big 12 teams and
3-1 on the road.

The starting times of two

will still be at 1 p.m.

Julian Wright declared himself
eligible for the NBA draft earlier
this week and other Kansas players,
namely Brandon Rush, continue
to weigh their options. But almost
as important as determining their
draft potential is maintaining their
eligibility should they decide to
return.
Theresa Becker, associate athlet-
ics director for compliance, said her
staff worked actively with student
athletes to ensure that they under-
stood what
could negate
their eligibil-
ity. While it is
legal to have an
adviser during
the process, that
adviser could
be considered
an agent if they
market the
player to a pro-
fessional team.
Any written or
verbal agree-
ments made regarding representa-
tion or any type of benefit received
by the player could also cause a loss
of eligibility.
Becker said it seemed very sim-
ple, athletes shouldnt agree to hire
anyone or sign anything in order to
avoid forfeiting their elegibility.
But youd be surprised at how
twisted some things can get. Some
of these individuals, unfortunately,
they push the envelope, Becker
said, referring to sports agents.
Becker said that one problem
was athletes that received gifts from
agents.
I also tell them whatever you
do, do not accept benefits, I dont
care if its a can of soda. I dont care
if its a slice of pizza. I dont care
if its a ride from the gym to your
dorm. Do not accept anything from
an agent. Period. Just do not do it,
she said.
For Compliance, ensuring the
eligibility of
University ath-
letes is a full-
time job. Kansas
A t h l e t i c s
employs five
full-time com-
pliance employ-
ees, as well as a
law intern and a
graduate assis-
tant. Becker said
they planned to
hire another
graduate assis-
tant soon. When she arrived in
November 2005, there were only
two compliance employees. A larg-
er staff allows more careful analysis
of potential issues on a case by case
basis, as well as constant education
for players, coaches and adminis-
trators.
With a 450-page rule book that
is amended annually, questions
about interactions between agents
and college athletes are only a small
portion of what the compliance
staff deals with.
Associate Athletics Director Jim
Marchiony said doing research in
advance helped avoid problems
later.
A line-by-line knowledge of the
NCAA rule book is not critical, but
you have to know enough to say,
Hey, wait a minute, that might not
be permissible by NCAA rules so
let me check with compliance,
he said. Our motto is Ask before
you act.
When it comes to basketball
players trying to determine their
draft prospects, the consequences
can be harsh if they make an agree-
ment with an agent or accept any
type of compensation.
Professional sports organiza-
tions, they know the rules, profes-
sional sports agents, they know the
rules, Becker said. Unfortunately,
once they get a student athlete to
cross the line, technically, theres no
going back.
At an institution like the
University of Kansas, were fortu-
nate enough to deal with this on a
yearly basis, she said.

big 12 baseball
Baylor built on underclassmen
By SHAWN SHrOyEr
The Jayhawks know a thing or
two about playing in the Big 12
Conference with a young team.
Every weekend Kansas has no
more than two seniors in its starting
lineup, compared to as many as four
underclassmen. Its weekend rotation
consists of two sophomores and a
junior, not mentioning that a sopho-
more serves as the teams closer.
However, Kansas wont receive
any sympathy
this weekend
from Baylor.
W h e n
healthy, the
Bears feature
three fresh-
men and three
sophomores in
their starting
lineup, dwarfing
the three seniors
who round out
the lineup. As a
result, the Bears
have depended on their freshmen,
including outfielder Aaron Miller,
who has emerged as a team leader.
Most schools dont get to go
through something like this with so
many freshmen starting, Miller said.
Its gelled really well. The seniors,
the upperclassmen, have accepted us
really well. Were all pulling toward
that common goal of coming out
and winning some games.
Given their youth, winning hasnt
come easy for the Bears this sea-
son. Halfway through the conference
schedule, Baylor (19-16, 4-8) is tied
with Kansas (18-20, 4-8) for last
place in the Big 12. But with fresh-
men like Miller, things are improv-
ing in Waco.
As one of only two players who
have started every game for the
Bears, Miller is first or second on the
team in almost every major offensive
category. He leads Baylor with 32
RBI, a .428 on-base percentage and
20 walks. He is second in batting
average, hits, triples, total bases and
slugging percentage.
Aaron continues to get better at
the plate and in the field, Baylor
coach Steve Smith said. He has
done a remark-
able job hitting
in the middle of
the order, espe-
cially for a fresh-
man.
Coming from
a player who
was drafted in
the 11th round
of the 2006
MLB Draft and
ranked the No. 3
freshman in the
nation by Baseball America, though,
these numbers arent surprising. In
fact, the greater the pressure, the
more Miller expects from himself.
Theres always pressure, Miller
said. But growing up, Ive always
been one of those players whove
been looked at, not to carry a team,
but to be a proven provider for a
team. I dont know what it feels like
not to have that pressure.
Following Millers lead, other
freshmen are stepping up.
Second baseman Raynor Campbell
has become a regular starter for the
Bears and is tied with Miller for the
second best average on the team.
Dustin Dickerson has played first
base and designated hitter for Baylor
and, despite a .250 average, has
scored 17 runs this season.
In Baylors weekend rotation,
right-hander Kendal Volz (4-1) has
assumed the Sunday starter role and
is the only weekend starter for the
Bears with a winning record. He
clinched the Oklahoma series last
weekend, allowing an unearned run
in seven innings while striking out
seven.
Our guys are playing hard and
learning with each time out, Smith
said. Injuries are our latest hurdle
to climb.
The Bears best hitter, sopho-
more shortstop Beamer Weems has
missed the teams last four games
because of a hamstring injury and
Campbell has been in and out of the
lineup with a similar injury. Miller
has played through a groin injury
all season.
Still, the Bears arent feeling sorry
for themselves. With No. 6 Texas,
No. 15 Oklahoma State and No. 23
Oklahoma out of the way, Baylor is
primed to climb the Big 12 stand-
ings.
And just as hes become a team
leader at the plate, Miller is leading
by example in the clubhouse.
Thats baseball. Youre always
going to have little nagging inju-
ries, Miller said. Its frustrating for
everybody, but I think were over the
hump now.

role last season, but was also
questionable because of
his small stature. But he has
gained more than 10 pounds
since arriving at Kansas in an
efort to become a full-time
player. Quigley is a player
with boundless potential. He
returned from a serious leg
injury that wiped out his entire
2006 season.
2. Defensive line
No unit lost more this ofsea-
son than the defensive line.
Senior tackle James McClinton
is the only returning starter.
Sophomore Caleb Blakesley
looks like the frontrunner at
the second tackle position. But
the defensive end situation is
a little more interesting. pass-
rush specialists junior russell
Brorsen and sophomore Max
Onyegbule are competing for
one spot, while sophomore
Jef Wheeler and junior John
larson are the candidates for
the opposite position.
3. Quarterback
The most publicized position
battle is between sophomores
Kerry Meier and Todd reesing.
as the end of this spring sea-
son approaches, neither has
taken a signifcant lead against
the other. it may come down
to which player fts the faster-
paced ofense Kansas has
instituted. The two will take
the majority of the snaps at
the spring game and will give
fans the opportunity to see the
prospects head-to-head. This
battle likely wont be decided
until late august.
4. Cornerback
One of the most frustrating
parts of the 2006 season was
the Jayhawks inability to put
two reliable cornerbacks on
the feld. first Team all-Big 12
nominee aqib Talib was sen-
sational on his side of the feld,
but the ever-changing cast of
characters at the number two
spot was lackluster. Sopho-
more anthony Webb, who
struggled through much of last
season, could be replaced by
junior Kendrick Harper. Harper,
a junior college transfer, has a
reputation for making big hits
and exciting plays.
Asher Fusco
football (continued from 1B)
the junior college ranks who could
see quite a bit of playing time next
season. Resby could be the starter at
strong safety and Harper, one of the
most physical players on the defense,
has a good shot at stealing playing
time at cornerback from incumbent
sophomore Anthony Webb.
Junior offensive lineman Chet
Hartley is another fresh face sure to
make an impact early in his Kansas
career. Hartley, a 6-foot-4, 315-
pound transfer from Butler County
Community College, should provide
size on the interior of the offensive
line.
For the players, the spring scrim-
mage serves as an opportunity to cap
the spring practice schedule by play-
ing in front of a crowd for the first
time since last November.
The spring game is good for a lot
of reasons, Reesing said. It gives us
a chance to show what weve done
for the last month. Weve put a lot of
work and time into it. Hopefully we
can get some people excited.
The scrimmage begins at 3:30
p.m. on Sunday. Both admission and
parking are free.

fve players to watch
1. Angus Quigley
Sophomore running back
at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds,
Quigleys size
and athleticism
is unquestion-
able. Now he
must prove that
he possesses the
durability to stay
on the feld. after
putting on an im-
pressive performance in last years
spring game, he sat out the entire
season with a serious leg injury.
depending on how his recovery
progresses, Quigley has an outside
shot at taking the starting running
back spot away from sophomore
Jake Sharp.
2. Todd Reesing
Sophomore quarterback
reesing showed brilliant improvi-
sational skills at times last season,
sneaking away from defenders to
make big plays
both on the
ground and
through the air.
reesing could
be the perfect
ft for the new,
more up-
tempo ofense
Ed Warinner
has brought to
the team. Sunday will be the frst
chance to see the speedy quarter-
back execute the new ofense.
3. Darrell Stuckey
Sophomore
safety
after ex-
periencing
a painfully
disappointing
2006 season,
the Kansas
secondary
is one of the
most retooled units on the feld.
Stuckeys emergence at the free
safety position could be a big step
toward the defense gaining some
respectability. The Kansas City,
Kan., native is a balanced player:
big enough to make plays at the
line of scrimmage and fast enough
to cover wide receivers.
4. Aqib Talib
Junior cornerback/wide receiver
Talib, already
the most
highly ac-
claimed player
on the Kansas
roster, can add
to his rsum
by making
like Charles
Gordon and
playing a bit
of ofense. Talib made one catch
last season and worked as a wide
receiver frequently this spring.
How he is utilized in the spring
game might give a hint of what is
to come this fall.
5. Max Onyegbule
Sophomore defensive end
The defensive
line lost three
starters to
graduation,
but hasnt
missed a beat
thanks in part
to Onyegbules
versatility.
Coaches and
fellow players
have raved about the former
linebackers athleticism and ability
to pressure the quarterback from
the edge of the line. it remains
to be seen whether Onyegbule
will be an every-down player or a
third-down pass-rush specialist.

Chiefs face tough schedule
NCAA bAsketbAll
Former West Virginia
assistant heads to UMKC
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
University of Missouri-Kansas
City hired former West Virginia
assistant Matt Brown as its head
coach Thursday.
Brown spent the past 10
years as an assistant to John
Beilein, the last fve with the
Mountaineers. Brown also spent
three years as an administrative

AssOCIAteD PRess
KANSAS CITY, Mo. The
Kansas City Chiefs had better be
healthy and at the top of their game
in the middle of the 2007 season.
NFL schedule-makers have
made sure the start and the end of
the year will be mostly road assign-
ments for a team that seems always
to have trouble winning away from
home.
The key stretch will be between
Oct. 7 and Dec. 2 when they play
six of eight at home, including
matchups against AFC West rivals
San Diego and Denver.
On those weekends when they are
at home, with perennial sellouts at
always-loud and festive Arrowhead
Stadium, the Chiefs believe they
create one of the most exciting
game-day atmospheres in the NFL.
That contention was backed up by
the rousing victory over Denver
last year when the Chiefs hosted
the Broncos on Thanksgiving night,
a few weeks before the death of
founder Lamar Hunt.
Even NFL commissioner Roger
Goodell, on hand for the first live
telecast of the NFL Network, com-
plimented the team on the big
crowd and the colorful ambiance of
Arrowhead.
But in a disappointment for fans
as well as team executives, therell
be no Monday night games for
Kansas City this season, home or
away.
Save for a Sunday nighter at the
New York Jets on the final weekend,
there are no scheduled national
appearances at all.
They do get their bye week at
a good time on Oct. 28, seven
games into the season. And every
home game is a noon kickoff,
another attractive feature for most
ticket-buyers.
But other than that, there is
much for fans and coaches not to
like. The Chiefs, who finished 9-7
last year and lost to Indianapolis in
the first playoff round, are on the
road for their first two games, at
Houston and the defending NFC
champion Bears.
Then theyre on the road for
their final two games, at Detroit
and at the Jets.
They dont taste home cooking
until the Minnesota Vikings come
calling on Sept. 23, the first day of
autumn. And they have their final
home game on Dec. 16 when the
Tennessee Titans and quarterback
Vince Young pay a visit.
The Chiefs are the only team in
the NFL thatll begin the year play-
ing three of their first four on the
road. And besides Kansas City, only
New Orleans and Atlanta do not
get to play a home game until their
third week.
Dallas and Pittsburgh are the
only other clubs thatll be on the
road for three of their last four.
The Chiefs do get a break on
Nov. 4, their first game after their
bye. Theyll host the Green Bay
Packers right after the Packers have
played a Monday night game on
the road.
But on consecutive Sundays
Oct. 7 and Oct. 14 the Chiefs will
host Jacksonville and Cincinnati as
those teams come off their own bye
week.

K-state assistant follows

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Erik
Martin, an assistant coach at Kansas

to West Virginia University.
Martin, 35, also played for Hug-

Erik brings the same confdence

Huggins said Thursday. Erik was an

Thats enabled him to make his

KC Wizards hire midfelder
by steVe bRIseNDINe
AssOCIAteD PRess
OVERLAND PARK The
Kansas City Wizards, who have
sought a playmaking midfielder for
almost five months, have signed
Argentinian Carlos Marinelli to fill
the position.
Marinelli, who has played at the
top level in Argentina, England,
Italy and Portugal, was introduced
Tuesday at the teams practice facil-
ity.
We were
looking for a
guy who could
run our team,
run our offense
a good passer
of the ball, a guy
thats creative.
coach Curt
Onalfo said. We
were very fortunate to get Carlos.
Another plus, technical director
Peter Vermes said, is that Marinelli
like former Wizards star Preki
Radosavljevic, now the coach of
Chivas USA is left-footed.
What lefties do is they unbal-
ance players, said Vermes, who
played alongside Radosavljevic
when the Wizards won their only
MLS Cup in 2000. Youre not used
to seeing a lefty coming at you,
because most guys are right-foot-
ed.
The Wizards also hope that at
25, Marinelli who was playing
for Middlesbrough of the English
Premier League when he was 17
has plenty of good years left in
his legs.
If everything goes well, he
could establish himself here for
years, Vermes
said.
Marinelli has
spent the bulk of
his career with
Middlesbrough,
scoring three
goals in 35
Premier League
matches and
two more in
other competitions.
He has also played for Torino in
Italy, Sporting Braga in Portugal,
and Argentinian clubs Boca Juniors
and Racing.
The Wizards will be counting on
him to run the offense and get the
ball to their forward tandem of the
United States Eddie Johnson and
Trinidadian Scott Sealy.
Hes a guy that very rarely loses
the ball, Onalfo said. Hes a guy
that can play the ball with one
or two players on him and find a
way to keep it, and hes going to
put balls on our forwards feet and
enable them to score.
Thats a capability the Wizards
havent had in recent seasons, Sealy
said.
For the past two years that Ive
been here, weve lacked someone
who was capable of setting the
tempo of a game and finding that
final pass to the forwards, so that
the forwards just need to make that
one touch and score. Sealy said.
From what Ive seen, Carlos is the
kind of guy who is willing to go
get the ball and make that happen.
Its definitely a step in the right
direction.
It could be a while, though,
before Marinelli takes the field for
the Wizards. He has been working
out with the team since last week,
but hasnt played since a two-game
stint with Braga near the end of the
2005-06 season.
He also is awaiting his work
permit, which the team said could
come as early as next week.
If everything goes well, he
could establish himself here for
years.

A view from cheap seats
danny Johnston/AssoCiAtEd PrEss
Fans line up outside of Dickey-Stephens Park, the newhome of the Texas League Arkansas
Travelers minor league baseball teamin North Little Rock, Ark., before openingThursday.
Offense
Outside of a 22-1 thrashing of Texas Southern last
month, Baylors ofense has been tame. In 35 games this
season, Baylor is averaging 6.2 runs a game. Counting
their 22-run outing, the Bears have scored in double-
digits eight times, but just once during Big 12 play. It
hasnt helped that Baylors leading hitter, shortstop
Beamer Weems, hasnt played in more than a week
because of a hamstring injury. Weems leads the Bears
with a .328 batting average, 40 hits, nine doubles, four
home runs, 67 total bases, and a .549 slugging percent-
age. Outfelder Aaron Miller is close behind with a .322
average, 38 hits, two home runs, 61 total bases and a
.517 slugging percentage. He leads the team with nine
doubles, 32 RBI and a .428 on-base percentage.
Pitching
Baylors lack of production on ofense has put added
pressure on the pitching staf and the results have been
mixed. Baylor hasnt allowed more than eight runs to
non-conference opponents, but it has allowed double-
digit runs to Big 12 opponents four times. In their four
conference wins, the Bears are allowing only 3.5 runs per
game, but in their eight losses, theyre allowing 9.6 runs
per game. Of Baylors weekend starters, only Kendal Volz
(4-1) has a winning record. However, he has the worst
ERA of the three at 5.35. Jef Mandel (4-5) and Randal
Linebaugh (2-4), Baylors other
weekend starters, have 4.32
and 4.65 respective ERAs. Nick
Cassavechia is the man out of
the bullpen with a 2.28 ERA,
.230 BAA and six saves. He
also has 36 strikeouts to
merely four
walks.
MOMentuM
Baylor didnt put on an impres-
sive show Tuesday, but the Bears enter
Lawrence after a fairly successful fve-game
home stand where they went 3-2. Last week-
end, Baylor took two of three from Oklahoma
for its second Big 12 series victory. Tuesday,
Baylor left 12 men on base and lost 6-3 to
TCU. Since the beginning of conference play,
Baylor has been swept every other weekend.
Given that trend, the Bears are due to get
swept again. One cause for Baylors inconsis-
tent play has been injury problems. Three
starters have battled
injuries all season.
This series pits the Big 12s
cellar dwellers against one
another, but doesnt neces-
sarily feature the two worst
teams in the conference. Both
Baylor and Kansas are tal-
ented, young teams that are
coming into their own after
navigating tough early Big 12
schedules. Both have already
played No. 6 Texas and No.
15 Oklahoma State. Baylor
has played No. 23 Oklahoma
and Kansas has played No. 16
Texas A&M and No. 25 Mis-
souri. The team thats grown
up the most will get out of
last place in the conference.
Freshman
outfelder
Aaron Miller
has already
stepped up
as a leader
for the Bears.
Despite bat-
tling a groin injury, he hasnt
missed a game all season. A
cog in Baylors lineup, he is
near the top of every ofen-
sive category for the Bears
and leads the team with
32 RBI and a .428 on-base
percentage. In high school,
Miller predominantly pitched
and played frst base, but hes
fourishing as a full-time out-
felder with only two errors
this season.
The biggest question for
Baylor this weekend is
whether its middle infeld will
be intact. Starting shortstop
Beamer Weems hasnt played
since April 3 because of a
hamstring injury. That same
day, starting second baseman
Raynor Campbell re-aggra-
vated his hamstring injury
and, although he played last
weekend, he was out of the
lineup Tuesday.
2 The number of times Baylor
has been swept out of four Big
12 series this season.
9 The number of teams in the
conference with a better team
batting average than Baylors
.277 average.
20 The number of triples by
the Bears ofense, which leads
the conference.
251 The number of strikeouts
by Baylor pitchers, which ranks
eighth in the conference.
Offense
Kansas ranks seventh in the Big 12 with a .288
team average compared to Baylors lock on the last
place spot. All eight, minus the rotating designated
hitter, of the Jayhawks starting position players
have knocked out at least one home run, giving
them a team total of 34. Kansas bats get particularly
hot against Texas schools, as the Hawks scored 29
runs against No. 16 Texas A&M and outscored Texas
25-23 in their three-game series last weekend. The
Jayhawks (167) walk more than the Bears (144), and
strikeout less (277-286).
Pitching
Sophomore lefty Andy Marks (3-3) is the only
Jayhawk pitcher to register on the Big 12 Conference
leader board. In 49.0 innings of work, the Sunday
starter has sat 60 oapposing batters down on strikes.
Marks has also given up the most home runs by far
with 11, including three to the Longhorns in his last
time out. The Jayhawks 5.13 ERA ranks last in the Big
12, and although the Kansas bats have blasted 34
home runs out, the Kansas pitchers have allowed 34
home runs to match. The strikeout to walk ratio is in
favor of the Hawks, at nearly 3 to 1.
MOMentuM
Kansas has not played a game in nearly a week.
Unlike Baylor, who was able to get a midweek game
in. Kansas last two times out were more than
respectable against national powerhouse and
Big 12 leading Texas. The momentum coming off
a 14-6 blowout victory last Saturday and nearly tak-
ing the series with a 6-5 loss Sunday, the
Jayhawks have shown their ability
to get hot and stay hot even
the in the cold. Temperatures
this weekend are not
forecasted to rise much
higher than they
were last weekend.
The game times
for the weekend
were moved to
4 p.m. on Friday
and 1 p.m. on
Saturday to accommo-
date the frigid factor. That said,
a cold-weather Kansas squad
will have an advantage over the
warm-blooded Bears.
Battling for last place in the
Big 12, the Jayhawks will have
to take the series from the
Bears to switch them spots
in the standings. Kansas is
currently dead last in the race
right behind Baylor, but both
hold the same 4-8 conference
record. Coach Ritch Price has
continually said that if his
team could win fve confer-
ence series they will make
another trip to the NCAA
tournament. If Prices state-
ment rings true, the Jayhawks
will need to win all of their
Big 12 series from here on
out.
Sophomore
catcher Buck
Afenir went
4-for-9 last
weekend,
including a 3-
for-4 perfor-
mance in his
frst game as the designated
hitter. He also drove in fve
runs and at .307, Afenir is one
of three everyday starters hit-
ting over .300.

KAnsAs weAther. Just be-
ing able to play is in question
this weekend, as all four of
the seasons are in the fore-
cast. Rain, snow and sunshine
are rumored for Friday, Satur-
day and Sunday respectively.
3 Coach Ritch Price is just
three victories shy of becom-
ing the third winningest
coach in Kansas baseball
history. Former coach Bobby
Randall is currently third on
the list, with 166 victories in
seven seasons.
12 Diferent Jayhawks
have tagged at least one
home run this season.
11.02 Sophomore left-
hander Andy Marks is averag-
ing 11.02 strikeouts per nine
innings this season.
18 The last time Kansas
took on Baylor, the Bears were
ranked No. 18 in the county.

As evenly matched as Kansas and Baylor appear on paper,
this series could very well hinge on the fnal game of the
weekend. Marks comes into the series as one of the top
strikeout pitchers in the Big 12, with 60 in 49 innings pitched.
Marks, with a 6.98 ERA, has struggled to keep opponents
from crossing home plate. Last weekend he allowed only
four hits to Texas, but three were home runs. As for Volz, since
joining Baylors weekend rotation March 10, his starts have
been erratic. In three out of fve starts during that time frame,
hes lasted no more than three innings, allowing 14 runs in 7.1
innings. The other two starts, though, he allowed only one
unearned run and struck out 11 in 12 innings. Depending on
which versions of Marks and Volz show up, Sundays game
could be a low-scoring afair or a scoring bonanza.
