Students and Lawrence residents
will be paying $100 more for diver-
sion.
The City Commission passed its
increased municipal courts fees on
July 17, increasing several fees that
students could end up paying.
The changing fees include a $150
fee for supervised probation, a $10 fee
for fingerprinting done through the
municipal court, an approximate $52
per day fee cost incurred by the city
for incarceration and a $100 increase
on the cost of diversion.
The ordinance took effect after its
publication over the weekend.
The previous diversion fee for an
MIP was $300 has increased to $400.
According to the municipal courts
annual report, the number of MIPs in
Lawrence has increased since 2003.
The municipal court prosecuted 438
people for minor in possession charg-
es last year.
If each of the same number or
people charged with a MIP chose
to go through diversion and have
the charge dismissed there will be
an additional $43,800 in the courts
annual revenue.
The Municipal Courts annual
report said yearly revenue was down
5 percent from 2005 to 2006. The City
has also faced some budget concerns
in the past months.
Rob Chestnut, city commissioner,
said the fees are only a fraction of
what the city needs to provide law
enforcement to the Lawrence com-
munity but the added funds would
help.

Penalties increase

A $6.3 million addition to the
north end of the Student Recreation
and Fitness Center will not be com-
pleted during the spring semester as
originally planned.
Instead, the addition to the nearly
four-year-old center wont be com-
plete until at least late May 2008, after
the semester is completed.
Mary Chappell, director of recre-
ation services, said that spring and
summer rains, coupled with rising
lumber costs related to Hurricane
Katrina, have contributed to the
delay.
The bid for lumber costs was
placed before the hurricane struck.
She said the center hoped to have
the entire infrastructure in place by
the end of summer.
Were pulling all the pipes and
wiring, Chappell said. Were going
to have to close some of the track area
in certain places.
The addition includes four new
multi-purpose courts, an expansion
of the 2,000 square-foot free-weight
area and two additional racquetball
courts.
The track will be temporar-
ily closed as it is expanded to stretch
nearly a full quarter-mile around all
four courts. Along with the track, the
fitness area used for aerobics, yoga
and martial arts will also be closed
once the structural part of the new
addition begins.
Chappell said she hoped to only
close these areas during holidays,
when the recreation center would not
be as busy. She admitted that prob-
ably wouldnt be the only time areas
on the north end would have to be
closed but said she hoped to keep the
closures to a minimum.
While the recreation center wont
be completed on time, it will bring
more to students than just extra space
and equipment.
Jason Krone, director of sports
programs, said that two of the new
multi-purpose courts will be made
of a synthetic, plastic material. That
means the courts can serve more than
just basketball or volleyball.
Certainly the courts will be used
for basketball but a sport like indoor
soccer is an underserved population,
he said. Enclosed walls around the
field allow us to look at expanding
floor hockey and adding indoor soc-
cer and possibly roller hockey.
During the spring semester, Krone
said that 80 teams played eight-on-
eight outdoor soccer. He said he
hoped the new addition would allow
scheduling for six-on-six indoor soc-
cer during the the winter when the
players want to keep playing.
One student who said he would
jump at the opportunity to play more
soccer is Dane Hanson, Overland
Park graduate student. He is part
of a soccer group that meets every
Sunday. He said he traveled to Kansas
City at least once a week last year to
play in an indoor soccer league when
it got too cold to play outdoors.
I didnt even know they planned
to put in a surface that soccer could
be played on, Hanson said. I think
its easier to injure yourself in indoor
soccer but Id definitely be interested
in playing.
Chappell said the addition would
accomplish the centers goal of cut-
ting down on the wait time. She said
it was not uncommon to have every
basketball court filled and teams lined
up waiting to get into games.
Were excited there will be more
space for more people and more
activities, she said.

The University is refusing to
forward pre-litigation letters from
the recording industry to its stu-
dents on the grounds that doing
so could be an invasion of student
privacy.
Earlier this month, the
Recording Industry Association of
America sent 408 pre-litigation
settlement letters to 23 universi-
ties. The University of Kansas will
notify individual students by mail
if it received a complaint con-
nected to a students IP address.
The University will not, however,
forward students the RIAA pre-
litigation letter, which gives them
the opportunity to settle out of
court.
Jenny Mehmedovic, coordina-
tor for information and technol-
ogy policy and planning, said
under the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act, the University has
no obligation to forward the let-
ters to students. It also will not
release any identifying informa-
tion without a court order or
subpoena.
Mehmedovi c sai d t he
University operates by an inter-
nal process of response when it
receives a com-
plaint. It sends
the appropri-
ate user a let-
ter from the
University noti-
fying them of
the problem.
In past years,
the University
operat ed a
t hree-st ri kes
policy, in which
students were
al otted three
warnings about
their illegal activity before get-
ting their Internet privileges
revoked. This fall, the University
is enacting a zero tolerance pol-
icy, where students lose Internet
access on the first notice of copy-
right infringement.
According to the safe harbor pro-
vision of the DMCA, Internet ser-
vice providers like the University, are
not to be held liable for customers
online activity if they immediately
remove or disable a users access to
identified material in a copyright
infringement complaint.
Todd Cohen, director of University
Relations, said the first responsibility
of the University
is to protect the
privacy of its
network users
and notify users
of the problem
and the rules.
My under-
standing is that
the Universitys
best practices
view point is to
protect its stu-
dents and show
compliance to
the rules but not to act as a legal
agent, Cohen said.

Students receive tuition
relief post-disasters
The University announced that
it will ofer students from 10 of
the Kansas counties hit hardest
by natural disasters during the
past few months an option to
defer tuition payments for the fall
semester.
Students who are eligible for
individual federal assistance from
fve storm-damaged counties,
Edwards, Kiowa, Osage, Pratt
and Staford, and fve fooded
counties, Elk, Miami, Montgomery,
Neosho and Wilson, are eligible
for the Universitys ofer.
Todd Cohen, director of
University relations, said that the
University is ofering the deferred
payments to do whatever it can to
help residents from the counties
designated as disaster areas by
the governor.
We know that they have more
important things to worry about
like getting a household back
together than making tuition pay-
ments,Cohen said.
Usually, a $100 fne is given to
students who have not paid their
tuition by the deadline, which
this year is Aug. 15. Additional
penalties are then levied against
students for each month that their
bill goes unpaid.
Cohen added that under the
deferred payment option ofered
to students from the disaster
areas, the University will work
out payment schedules based on
each students individual needs.
The University has implement-
ed similar plans in the past to
assist students whose hometowns
have been damaged by natural
disasters. Most recently, a similar
ofer was given to students from
the Gulf Coast region after Hur-
ricane Katrina in 2005.

A trip that would have taken stu-
dent volunteers to Greensburg to aid in
the disaster relief eforts was canceled
because students werent volunteering.
The Student Involvement and
Leadership Center organized a trip to
volunteer in Greensburg after a tor-
nado in early May left 95 percent of the
town destroyed.
Although the center sent an e-mail
last week, no student organizations
signed up to go on the volunteering
trip.
Aaron Quisenberry, associate direc-
tor of the SILC, said he thought that
because of students having more free
time during the summer, more people
would be able to volunteer.
Quisenberry said he had no idea
and did not want to guess as to why
only one organization and two indi-
viduals showed any interest in the trip
but didnt confirmed.
If we dont get anybody, I might still
go out all by myself. Quisenberry said.
There will be more trips organized
Im sure because there still is a lot of
work to do.
While in Greensburg, they would
have done different tasks including
cleaning up debris and picking up
trees.
Quisenberry is from a town 15 min-
utes away from Greensburg.
To organize the trip, the SILC paired
up with Greensburg Relief, an orga-
nization that provides volunteers and
monetary aid to Greensburg disaster
relief.
Students who registesterd would
have left today and come back Sunday.
Matthew Podszus, Coordinator of
Greensburg Relief, said that every
volunteer makes a difference in
Greensburg.
If you help one family it may not
seem that much, but there really is a
domino effect that happens, Podszus
said. If two or three homes start going
up it starts making people say Maybe I
want to come back to the town.
To sign up for another trip, students
need to contact Aaron Quisenberry at
aquisenberry@ku.edu.

After a year of investigation, it has
been determined that there is no link
between Wescoe Hall and brain tumors.
A report done by epidemiologist
John Neuberger concluded that the
proximity of the tumors was likely
due to chance and unrelated to occu-
pancy in the building.
Previously, it had been believed
that there could have been a link
between the building and the
tumors.
Jason Oruch, Plano, Texas junior,
said he was relieved to hear Wescoe
did not have any link to brain tumors.
However, he also said that it would
have made for a good reason to stay
out of classes there.
I mean, I am happy that going to
class isnt going to cause me harm,
Oruch said. But that would have
been a valid reason not to show up
for a discussion or two.
Neuberger works at the University
Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.
The investigation began when five
people with offices in Wescoe were
diagnosed with brain tumors dur-
ing the past 10 years. Three of those
tumors turned out to be benign.
According to a University press
release, Neuberger conducted an air
quality investigation. He concluded
that the building is environmentally
safe. The investigation did find that the
building had some airflow problems.
The University has decided to
change the air systems in the first
three levels of Wescoe Hall. The
project is scheduled to last two years
and cost $3 million.
Todd Cohen, director of University
Relations, said the construction
would cause professor and gradu-
ate teaching assistants to move their
offices over the course of months.
Cohen said the biggest effect on stu-
dents would be meeting with teachers.
He added that the movements of
offices have not been planned out yet
because there is not a lot of empty
space around to move people.
Cohen said that moving offices is
likely to happen during breaks. He said
that moving during breaks would keep
the disruption of classes to a minimum
and students would not have to locate
a new office mid-semester.
He said the classrooms in Wescoe
would not be affected by the construc-
tion being done to the office space.

Patrick Huse graduated from the
University in May with a degree
in finance. Unsure of what to do
next with his life, and spurred by an
already lucrative side-career in online
poker, Huse headed to Las Vegas for
the summer.
The Omaha native turned a vic-
tory at a satellite, a smaller tourna-
ment that feeds into a bigger one,
into a spot at the $10,000 buy-in
World Series of Poker Main Event.
Huse then became the latest Internet
whiz kid to take a run at the games
most hallowed title, peaking as the
tournaments chip leader on the sec-
ond day, before finishing 128th and
winning $58,570.
Huse came to the University as
a novice in poker. He began play-
ing competitively in cash games on
the third floor of McCollum Hall.
He soon began playing cash games
online.
I really enjoyed playing poker
when I was in college because you
can play whenever you want, Huse
said. You dont have any responsi-
bilities as far as going to work.
Huse quickly accumulated tens of
thousands of dollars.
My friends and I have all bought
some crazy things, Huse said. We
all have big screen TVs. One thing
poker players are extravagant about
is their computers. My computer is
really expensive. Its stupid. Its like
buying a Ferrari to drive down your
neighborhood street or something
like that.
Huse said he would be responsible
with the winnings from the tourna-
ment.
Garrett Beckman, a 22-year-old
former University student from
Garnett, has lived with Huse for the
last year and stayed with him in Las
Vegas. He said saving money after big
wins was difficult.
Its very weird to know you can
buy about whatever you feel like;
expensive computers, TVs, electron-
ics, cars, whatever, Beckman said.
Sometimes it is hard to not spend a
lot right after a big win. The toughest
part about making money young is
keeping a hold of it.
Huse estimated that 80 percent
of the college-aged poker players he
knew that had success at online poker
had dropped out of school.
That is one of the worst draw-
backs of poker, Huse said. I know
a lot of kids that have dropped out
of college due to poker. My grades
suffered, definitely. I graduated with
an OK GPA, but I would have had a
lot higher GPA if I didnt play poker.
I win $5,000 or lose $5,000 in a day
and I dont feel like doing my home-
work some days.
Homework was not a major con-
cern for Huse at the 12-day Main
Event in Las Vegas.
Huse said the most intimidating
aspect of the Main Event was its
mystique.
Its kind of a surreal experience
because when I started playing poker
I watched the World Series telecasts,
Huse said. So it was kind of surreal
being at that tournament and playing
in it, especially late when I had so
many chips in front of me.
Despite playing in his first Main
Event, Huse didnt set out with a
strategy.
Experienced players know that
you cant really have a strategy, he
said. Obviously in tournament play
you have to be really aggressive, but
you just have to see who is at your
table and what the players are capable
of.
In this tournament there are so
many amateurs, I just never really felt
like I wasnt one of the best players at
the table.
Huse ended day one of the Main
Event with about $40,000 in chips,
when the average player had about
$55,000. Day two would be much
more lucrative and give Huse the
highlight of his tournament, cour-
tesy of poker star Gus Hansen, nick-
named, The Great Dane.
Late in the day, I had just won a
really big pot and I was up to about
$455,000 chips, Huse said. They
came over the loudspeaker, and they
say, We have a new chip leader, his
name is Gus Hansen. They said he
had $445,000 chips and I am sit-
ting there with $455,000 chips. Then
everyone at my table was kind of like,
Hey we have the chip leader!
Day three wouldnt prove as kind.
Huse was two-outtered on two occa-
sions, poker vernacular for when all
the money is in the pot and a trailing
opponent only has two cards remain-
ing in the deck that can win the hand
and beats the odds.
Huse battled back more than
$500,000 in chips early on day four.
But he could not avoid misfortune
when he called an all-in late in the
day with pocket kings. His opponent
flipped over aces, which held. Huses
charmed run was over.
Anyone in the world would have
done what I did, so I cant really say
that I played bad, Huse said.
Beckman is a full-time Internet
poker pro and said he believed Huses
laid-back demeanor helped him
in the WSOP, where some players
become overwhelmed by the large
number of players and variances of
luck.
He is more calm and collected
than most poker players I know,
Beckman said. Patrick is an all
around nice guy who will be very
successful in the future.
Huse said he would take some
time off before deciding on a job. In
the meantime, he will be working on
his poker game and dreaming about
the $8.25 million dollars that went to
this years WSOP winner.

I
f you didnt
know the
Uni ve r s i t y
of Kansas had an
official font, you
certainly will be
reminded this
fall.
In case you
hadnt heard,
the Kansas Athletics Department
has said that it will incorporate the
Universitys Trajan font into more of
its uniforms this fall. Most notably
the change will affect the football
and mens basketball teams.
Whatever the reasons behind the
move are, I have a hard time agree-
ing with the change.
For nearly 20 years, fans across
the country could identify Kansas
basketball by its unique font with
the swirls and curls at the ends of
letters and numbers.
Thats a visual identity that the
Athletics Department has plastered
on t-shirts, posters and numerous
other items sold and given away at
basketball games.
Kansas mens basketball is the
departments and the Universitys
most well-known commodity. Why
the University would want to alter a
carefully constructed brand is con-
fusing to me.
So why the change to Trajan?
The University has made a con-
certed effort in the two years since
adopting its new identity to plaster
it across campus. From buses, to
construction signs, to the Jayhawk
logo, the Trajan font is everywhere.
Now, the Athletics Department is
following suit.
The problem is that symbols,
or in this case
logos and
fonts, evoke
certain feelings
in people. In
sports, logos
and identities
should invoke
different feel-
ings than in
the world of academia.
The KU logo in the Trajan font
certainly invokes a distinguished,
academic feel, but those same feel-
ings dont easily translate to sports.
The block font that the football
program had used on helmets and
jerseys in the past five years invoked
feelings of strength and power. The
font unique to the mens basketball
team gave off feelings of history
and tradition, appropriate consider-
ing the programs past accomplish-
ments.
The Trajan font? Personally, that
invokes feelings of corporate, sterile
conditions. Thats not exactly the
feeling students and alumni should
have toward their University.
At some point, the Universitys
desire to unite the school under one
color and font goes too far. This is
that point.
I understand the desire, from a
marketing standpoint, to present
a united brand for the University
of Kansas. However, the need to
change an established brand and
image to a relatively unknown one
could backfire in the end. Will fans
snatch up the new jerseys featur-
ing the Trajan font? Its hard to tell,
but thats a question that can be
answered in a few months.

You do not really understand
something unless you can explain it
to your grandmother.
Albert Einstein said this. But did
he ever think how difficult it could
be to explain a scientific observa-
tion to a college student? A students
hearing level may be better than
grannys but when it comes to envi-
ronmental issues, their comprehen-
sion and interest level may be the
same.
Aaron Scurto is beginning to take
actions to improve communication
between scientists and non-scientists
on topics of sustainability.
Scurto, professor in the chemi-
cal and petroleum engineering
department, used Einsteins quote to
describe his efforts. Scurto is reach-
ing out to campus media outlets for
participation in a developing initia-
tive.
He proposes that students in
the sciences work on projects that
they will present to student media
outlets. The two groups of students
would then work together to decide
how to present the information to
the public. Scurto said the initiative
would help students in the sciences
and students in the fields of com-
munication learn to present topics
in science, technology and society
more effectively to the public. It
would also keep the University and
Lawrence community educated on
green topics, he said.
Scientists and nonscientists can
get together and learn how to com-
municate together and with the
community, Scurto said.
Danielle Basci, KJHK station
manager, said Scurto approached the
station on the heels of its decision to
cancel its AP-wire news program-
ming, which is being replaced with a
twice-weekly, one-hour news maga-
zine. Basci said the station offered
Scurtos team a weekly news seg-
ment or educational series on its new
program. Basci said that nothing
official had been decided but that
she thought Scurtos initiative was a
great opportunity for the station and
its listeners.
Bringing an environmental beat
to our news programming will ben-
efit KJHK listeners because they live
in a community where environmen-
tal sustainability is held with great
importance, and were thrilled to put
our airwaves to good use in order
to acknowledge this cause, Basci,
Houston senior, said.
Scurto said students would
cover topics in energy, recycling,
sustainability and the environment
and how they relate to everyday
tasks like doing laundry or choos-
ing which light bulbs to buy. He is
still in the early planning stages
of the initiative but hopes to have
things in motion in the next four-
to-six months. He is beginning
to write proposals for funding
agencies, like the National Science
Foundation, to help support his
efforts.

Study: Diet soda has same risks as regular soda
By Jay Lindsay
Associated Press
BOSTON People who drank
one or more diet sodas each day
developed the same risks for heart
disease as those who downed sugary
regular soda, a large but inconclusive
study found.
The results surprised the research-
ers who expected to see a difference
between regular and diet soda drink-
ers. It could be, they suggest, that
even no-calorie sweet drinks increase
the craving for more sweets, and that
people who indulge in sodas prob-
ably have less healthy diets overall.
The studys senior author, Dr.
Vasan Ramachandran, emphasized
the findings dont show diet sodas
are a cause of increased heart disease
risks. But he said they show a sur-
prising link that must be studied.
Its intriguing and it begs an
explanation by people who are quali-
fied to do studies to understand
this better, said Vasan, of Boston
University School of Medicine.
However, a nutrition expert dis-
missed the studys findings on diet
soda drinkers.
Theres too much contradictory
evidence that shows that diet bever-
ages are healthier for you in terms of
losing weight that I would not put
any credence to the result on the
diet (drinks), said Barry Popkin, of
the University of North Carolina in
Chapel Hill, who has called for ciga-
rette-style surgeon general warnings
about the negative health effects of
soda.
Susan Neely, president of the
American Beverage Association,
said the notion that diet drinks are
associated with bulging waistlines
defies common sense.

People recognize Jared
Suppasansathorn by the utility belt
he wears everywhere he goes.
When asked why he wears it, he
calmly answers that he uses it in case
he wants to do a handstand.
Sometimes, I just feel like doing
a handstand somewhere. I used to
carry the stuff in my pockets but all
my change would fall out.
For Suppasansathorn, a graduate
student, doing random handstands
on the street is not uncommon. He
does freestyle running, a physical
art where runners try get through
everyday obstacles as smoothly as pos-
sible by jumping or climbing walls and
doing acrobatics, among other things.
Its like you make an obstacle
course of the world and you just run
through it, Suppasansathorn said.
Suppasansathorn remembers a time
when he saw a man climbing a wall
and jumping off of it to a railing on
campus. He said other students looked
at him confused and disapprovingly.
Its something that you are
sort of conditioned not to do and
that is exactly the reason to do it,
Suppasansathorn said.
Suppasansathorn said that he had
been climbing walls and jumping over
obstacles his whole life. But recently, a
friend invited him to go to Topeka on
Thursdays with a group of others who
freestyle run.
Ptoldly Brenner, who freestyle
runs with Suppasansathorn on
Thursdays and has asked for his
nickname to be used in the story,
said freestyle running in groups
had a lot of advantages.
There is a little bit of competi-
tion, Brenner said. But doing it in
groups helps us push each other and
share tips on how to do things.
Wal ki ng downtown,
Suppasansathorn suddenly stops and
stares at a brick wall that looks inter-
esting. In the blink of an eye, he is
already several feet away from the
ground, grabbing onto bricks.
People walking by do not seem
to mind the man with a green utility
belt and hiking shoes climbing the
wall. He touches the top of the wall
and lets go, falling with both feet on
the ground. He continues walking.
In day-to-day life you are sup-
posed to just walk down the side-
walk, you are supposed to just take
this certain path and, you know, that
is sort of annoying, Suppasansathorn
said. I want to cut through the grass,
I want to jump over the bush, I want
to do a handstand on the trash can.
Brenner said that freestyle run-
ning gives freedom. I definitely feel
freer than other people, Brenner said.
You do feel like you are video game
where you can go whatever you want to
go without anyone stopping you.
Suppasansathorn talks with a soft
voice. He describes himself as being
shy, yet he is not scared to jump from
a building downtown.
The more I do it, the more I
find myself just doing things.,
Suppasansathorn said. If I thought
more about it maybe I wouldnt have
done it because I was too embar-
rassed or scared.
Suppasansathorn keeps walking down
the street with his green utility belt and
khaki shorts. He stops in a grassy area
and does a handstand. All of his change
remains intact in his pockets.

No charges to be fled in
abduction case
A University student has re-
fused to pursue charges after she
said she was carjacked from the
corner of 98th and Cherry streets
in Ovarland Park on July 15.
Michelle M. Bhaskar, Overland
park sophomore, was reported by
her boyfriend to have been taken
in her car by two unidentifed
males one of them armed with a
gun.
Bhaskars boyfriend said he
had been sitting in the car talking
with her when the two men ap-
proached, forced him out of the
car and then took of with Bhaskar
leaving him at the scene.
Bhaskar was returned to her
family unharmed almost eight
hours after the alleged abduction.
Kansas City, Mo., police said that
there was little the department
could do since the woman refused
to press charges and the case is
now inactivated.

Documents left behind
after construction could
leave students private
records vulnerable
More on WESCOE on 15
STORY BY TYLER HARBERT
tharbert@kansan.com
Editors note: During the ongoing construction at Wescoe Hall,
Kansan reporter Tyler Harbert recovered papers from several empty
first floor offices. The papers turned out to be graded blue books and
essays, along with add/drop forms. All documents contained student
information, some including grades and identification numbers.
The story below is Harberts account of how the materials were left
in public and the Universitys response. As of Tuesday evening, all docu-
ments were returned to the University for disposal.
W
hen construction began on the first floor of Wescoe
Hall several weeks ago, doors were flung wide, furniture
hauled out and debris scattered.
Left to the wave of office remodeling was anything the former
occupants didnt deem worthy of saving. Some of those items includ-
ed blue books, graded student essays and schedule change forms
containing student names and identification numbers.
We regret it, said Lynn Bretz, director of University communica-
tions. It shouldnt have happened.
A number of private records can be accessed with a students
school identification number.
Calls were made to several offices, including the Bursars Office,
Watkins Memorial Health Center and the Office of the University
Registrar, in an attempt to access records over the phone using only
the reporters name and identification number.
The Bursars Office released financial information, including
tuition balance as well as scholarship and financial aid information.
The Office of the University Registrar said an online form would
need to be filled out to get a transcript copy. The reporter said he
could put his address, name and student identification number on the
form, but that he had lost his Social Security number. The office said
the student number would suffice for a copy of his transcript.
The health center referred questions to an online authorization for
use disclosure of information form at www.studenthealth.ku.edu.
Joe Gillespie, associate director of Information Management at the
health center, said the center doesnt expect a Social Security number
when records are accessed, but it does need a students birth date and
identification number.
We do compare signatures, Gillespie said. If we have any con-
cerns we call that person ask them to come in and show identifica-
tion.
He said students trying to access their records do not have to go
to the center in person.
We take this very seriously, Gillespie said. There have been
times weve had a concern and we say to the person, We need to see
your face.
About a dozen of those items were recovered from several offices
on the first floor of Wescoe before a new white wall and a sign that

Carol Journey, Haysville senior, was
the first cast member eliminated from
CBSs show Big Brother. Journey
withdrew from a summer class at the
University, and quit her role as a Kansas
City Chiefs cheerleader to participate
in the reality program.
Journey spent 14 days in the Big
Brother house and was sequestered in
Los Angeles for a week before the show
started. The Kansan recently talked to
Journey about her experience on the
show.
Kansan: Do you regret what took
place on the show, or even going on it
in the first place?
Journey: It was an alright experi-
ence. Definitely the part that I enjoyed
the most was getting off the show. Ive
had a lot of fun since Ive gotten off this
past week talking with fans and people
who liked who I was.
Kansan: So you are coming back for
the fall semester?
Journey: Yeah. I have to get my
degree. I cant wait.
Kansan: The premise of the show
was to have an enemy from your past
confront you in the house. Can you tell
me what the experience was like and
what you were thinking when you saw
her for the first time?
Journey: It was very, very uncom-
fortable. I did not want her there and
she took away so much of the enjoy-
ment I could have gotten out of it.
When I saw the enemy thing, I thought
our story was pretty ridiculous com-
pared to the other two sets of enemies
on the show because their stories were
so much more tragic than ours. I kind
of feel like me and Jessica were placed
on the show more for comedic relief, as
a way of making fun of two little girls
from eighth grade.
Kansan: What was the situation
with your enemy?
Journey: Basically, all it is was we
were really good friends for a few years
in middle school and we got into a
fight, I dont even know what the fight
was really about, she claims its over $5,
but I dont think thats true at all, and
basically we just never made up and
went through high school completely
ignoring each other. Then we gradu-
ated and she still lives at home with
her mom and dad and I moved away
to KU and never talked to each other
again, I guess.
Kansan: Is there still bitterness
then?
Journey: For me, I was over it. I
hadnt even thought about her in three
years. She obviously was still bitter and
angry enough that she would mention
my name through the audition process.
Im not going to lie, leaving the show,
Im now a little bitter with her again,
but I was over it so long ago.
Kansan: Which cast member are
you pulling for now?
Journey: Im really wanting Mike
to win the whole thing, simply because
hes a good guy, hes got a good heart
and he deserves it. He really does.
He works hard and I think that hell
play the game in a decent manner. He
wont be like manipulative or deceiving
through the process. I think hes going
to do it with dignity.
Kansan: Why do you think the
other cast members singled you out
and eliminated you first?
Journey: There were several dif-
ferent reasons. For one, I didnt really
want to be there in the first place and
I whined every single day about how I
all I wanted to do was go home. So they
all knew I was homesick and I didnt
want to be there, so that contributed
to it. Secondly, I was not a very good
player. You really have to be strategic
and know what youre doing and I had
no idea what I was doing on the show
because I was recruited and had never
watched the show before. I had the
votes from what people tell me and
from watching the show. I had six votes
which is what I needed to stay but an
alliance was formed and should they
have all voted for me they would have
exposed themselves so they didnt vote
to keep me simply because they wanted
to keep their alliance a secret and they
didnt want everybody else to use that
against them later.
Kansan: What were the best and
worst aspects of the show?
Journey: The worst part about
being on the show was the lack of
privacy, always being on TV. When
youre in there, you kind of forget about
the cameras and forget that there are
people out in the United States watch-
ing you and listening to conversations
you had. I regret a few of the things I
said, but you cant hold back everything
you have. Honestly, this past week since
Ive been out of the house has been
awesome. Ive had so much fun doing
interviews. Ive probably done a few
dozen TV programs so far and I did
several days of radio interviews where
I just got to talk to different radio sta-
tions across the nation that asked me
about Big Brother. That was a lot of
fun and getting to talk to people who
watched the show has been great too.
Kansan: Whats next? Are you going
to record an album?
Journey: Um, no. Actually, since
being off the show Ive gotten a few
job offers because Ive talked about
being a marketing major. CBS kind
of threw out offering me a spot on
another reality show, but I dont know
if I want to do that. I dont know. I have
no desire to act or sing or do anything
like that. I just want to get my degree
and a job. There have been offers but
well see. Ive been told the offers really
pick up once the show gets over, so if
something amazing gets thrown at me
I might consider something else.
Kansan: Is there anything you
would completely rule out?
Journey: Ive had Playboy thrown
out there a couple of times. I dont
think I could ever do that. Thats not
gonna happen. Maybe Maxim.

The train has long been a means
of transportation for people, and not
just the ticket-buying passengers of
Amtrak. A whole culture of freight-
train hoppers that took off during
the Great Depression still exists
today, according to a documentary
film festival that took place at the
Replay Lounge on July 16.
A mixture of full-length feature
films and YouTube shorts that made
up the Hobo Film Festival told the
stories of those who hitched free
rides on freight trains across the
country.
Shawn Lukitsch, owner of the
small film production company
that produced some of the films
and organized the festival, said he
had been riding freight trains since
1994. He said he thought that train
riding was the last remaining form
of red-blooded American adven-
ture.
I really cannot explain what its
like to be out there, he said. If you
want a kick in the ass, this is it.
About 30 people sat inside the bar,
located at 946 Massachusetts St., to
get a glimpse at the rarely-seen side
of the railroads.
One movie told of the camara-
derie between the hobos, who were
defined as traveling workers. Tramps
were defined as traveling non-work-
ers, and bums as non-traveling non-
workers. The film also explained
that the rails provided hobos with a
forum to get together and tell their
tales.
Lukitsch said that the hobo cul-
ture was dying, and the film festi-
val was an attempt to preserve its
legacy.
We want to make it a point that
its not something thats going to be
around for long, he said.
Alyssa Montoya, a Lawrence resi-
dent who called herself a traveler,
said the world of train riding is a
well-kept secret.
A lot more people are traveling
for free and no one knows it, she
said.
Lukitsch said that the hobo cul-
ture consisted of people from all
walks of life who were in search
of adventure. He said hes met a
wide variety of people on the train,
including neurosurgeons and psy-
chologists. He added that the term
hobo shouldnt carry a negative
connotation.
Theyre not scumbags, theyre
professionals, Lukitsch said.
One movie contained interviews
with former hobos sharing their sto-
ries about life on the rails. The hobos
strummed guitars and sang songs
while others described the hobo
stew that was commonly eaten.
At least one audience member
didnt think the films accurately por-
trayed hobo life.
A lot of it is romanticized, said
Manny Manzani, a Lawrence resi-
dent. Its a lot about good times.
Being a hobo isnt just about good
times.
The Hobo Film Festival tour
began in Asheville, N.C., earlier this
month and will make more than 20
stops across the country before end-
ing at the National Hobo Convention
in Britt, Iowa.

Film festival gives insight
into life along the rails

scarlson@kansan.com
Three 20-year-olds and a
high school teacher make up the
local band The Afterhours. Matt
Falkenstien, Lawrence junior and
lead vocalist, is joined by guitarists
Kenny Nall and Bryan Anderson
and drummer Anthony Birchfield.
Nall is also a junior from Lawrence
and Anderson is a 2001 KU gradu-
ate and high school English teacher.
The Afterhours played The Jackpot
Music Hall last week, and have
played at several other local venues,
such as The Replay Lounge and
the Gaslight Tavern. The Kansan
sat down with the quartet to get a
glimpse of the band life.
Kansan: Describe your fan base.
Matt: Id say its a fairly good mix.
Because we go to school, we adver-
tise at KU. We also throw flyers up
downtown.
Kansan: Any groupies?
Anthony: Unfortunately, no.
Matt: I think you have to be at a
higher level. Hes married (pointing
to Bryan) so he cant get too wild,
or at least were not supposed to tell
anyone about it.
Kansan: What do you think of the
Lawrence music scene?
Bryan: Being a college town, theres
a lot of competition because every-
body and their grandma decide
to go to college and then form a
band.
Matt: Its important to have your
own niche because youre always
going to sound like somebody or
people are going to compare you to
this or that.
Kansan: How do you classify your
music?
Bryan: We want to sound like the
soundtrack to a good time. Id say
garage rock is as good as any.
Matt: We actually play in a base-
ment.
Bryan: Basement rock.
Kansan: How did you come up
with the bands name?
Matt: I really dont know. You pick
a name that you all agree on and
then you go online and Google it
and therell be like 10 other bands
all over the world.
Kansan: So there are other bands
called The Afterhours?
Matt: I think theres an Italian one.
Bryan: Yeah, but its not The
Afterhours, its just Afterhours.
Matt: And I think theres a girl
group, like a Spice Girls sort of
group. I guess if worlds collide well
just have to see who plays better.
Kansan: Where would you like the
band to be in five years?
Matt: Itd be nice to be together for
that long. I think our most realistic
and our main goal is to just get big
in Lawrence and to be able to play
at will where we want.
Bryan: I think were ready for what-
ever happens.
Anthony: Ride the wave.
Kansan: Do you guys expect to get
signed?
Bryan: Theres interest in releas-
ing a single, so were getting some
local label interest and thats cool.
If that opportunity happens well
definitely do that.

form was dated and stamped March
5, 2007 by the Office of the University
Registrar. Hoge filled out the docu-
ment, complete with her confiden-
tial student identification number, to
withdraw from an English class she
had been taking.
Hoge said knowing her informa-
tion was floating around wasnt com-
forting, but she wasnt concerned it
would fall into the wrong hands.
Maybe it was an accident, she
said. Im not super worried about
it.
Another schedule change form
belonging to Lindsay Fetter, St. Louis
senior, was also recovered. She said
she had been through this before.
My declaration of major form
was lost, she said. I couldnt enroll
and I had to redo it. I dont know if
they misplaced it or what.
Her schedule change form, dated
and stamped April 19, 2007 by the
Office of the University Registrar,
was also used to drop an English
class.
I had too heavy of a load and that
class was the most time consuming
so I withdrew, Fetter said.
She said she wasnt too concerned
her private information would be
stolen from her because most offices
require a password to access that
information, but she said that doesnt
mean she wants her number leaked.
Thats kind of weird; kind of
makes me feel uncomfortable, Fetter
said. It shouldnt be sitting around
in the basement of Wescoe.
Bretz said the mistake was an
opportunity for the University to
reiterate the importance of student
privacy to people as they return from
summer break.
Bretz said there wasnt a
University-wide disposal policy for
student materials, and that the meth-
od for disposing of materials varied
from school to school.
She said the University wanted
to annualize its privacy training and
ensure the message gets through to
all of the schools.
Good can come out of episodes
like this, Bretz said.

Bush warns public that al-
Qaida is still a threat
CHARLESTON, S.C. President
Bush on Tuesday lashed out at crit-
ics who say that al-Qaidas opera-
tion in Iraq is distinct from terrorists
who attacked the United States on
Sept. 11, 2001.
The merger between al-Qaida
and its Iraqi afliate is an alliance
of killers and that is why the fnest
military in the world is on their
trail, Bush said.
Citing security details he
declassifed for his speech, Bush
described al-Qaidas burgeoning
operation in Iraq as a direct threat
to the United States. Bush accused
critics in Congress of misleading
the American public by suggesting
otherwise.
Thats like watching a man
walk into a bank with a mask and a
gun and saying, Hes probably just
there to cash a check, Bush told
troops at Charleston Air Force Base.
Bush is up against highly skepti-
cal audiences with 18 months left
in ofce. The public has largely lost
faith in the war, Congress is weigh-
ing ways to end it, and internation-
al partners have fading memories
of the 2001 attacks against the U.S.
In Washington, Sen. John Kerry,
D-Mass., said Bush is trying to
scare the American people into
believing that al Qaida is the ratio-
nale for continuing the war in Iraq.
But Kerry said Bush presented no
new evidence to back that up, and
added: The president is picking
the wrong rationale for this war.
Al-Qaida is not the principal killer
of American forces in Iraq.
In broad strokes, Bush linked the
Iraq war to an event that Ameri-
cans remember deeply the Sept.
11 attacks, not the sectarian strife
among Iraqis, which has caused
some to question U.S. military
involvement.

Facebook threatened with lawsuit

Facebook.coms mastermind, Mark Zuckerberg smiles at his ofce in Palo Alto, Calif. The own-
ers of a rival social networking Web site are trying to shut down Facebook.com, charging in a federal

founders of ConnectU say Zuckerberg agreed to fnish computer code for their site, but repeatedly
stalled and eventually created Facebook using their ideas.
Conn. town frst to ofer ID
cards for illegal immigrants
NEW HAVEN, Conn. Dozens
of people lined up at City Hall on
Tuesday for municipal identifca-
tion cards, the frst city-issued
ID cards specifcally designed to
bring illegal immigrants out of the
shadows and give them access to
community services.
The cards, available to New
Havens entire population, are
meant to help anyone without a
state- or federal-issued ID open
a bank accounts and use other
services that would otherwise
be inaccessible. Advocates argue
that if immigrants can open bank
accounts, they will be less likely
to carry large amounts of cash,
a practice that makes them easy
targets for robbers.
An estimated 10,000 to 12,000
of New Havens 125,000 residents
are believed to be in the country
illegally.
The mayor said the federal
government had failed to address
immigration-related issues, forc-
ing cities to fnd ways to man-
age them. New Haven is simply
acknowledging the people who
already live there, he said.

Carey tabbed as next host
of The Price is Right
NEW YORK Genial comic
Drew Carey was tapped Monday
to replace silver-haired legend Bob
Barker on the CBS daytime game
show The Price is Right.
Carey confrmed the deal during
a taping of the Late Show with
David Letterman.
The selection attracted more
attention than usual for a daytime
show because of the prospect of
replacing Barker, 83. Barker retired
after 35 years in the job last month
following taping of his 6,586th
episode.
The opening attracted wide-
spread interest, including from
comic Rosie ODonnell after she left
The View.
Carey, 49, spent a decade on his
own ABC sitcom and also was host
of the game show Whose Line is It
Anyway?, a comic improvisational
show.
He will also be host of a new CBS
prime-time game show, The Power

Detmer fles for divorce, cites
irreconciable diferences
LOS ANGELES Amanda
Detmer, who starred in the short-
lived ABC series What About
Brian, is seeking a divorce from her
husband of less than three years,
according to court papers.
Detmer cited irreconcilable
diferences as the reason for her
split from Bernardo Targett in court
papers fled Friday.
The couple, who have no chil-
dren, were married in December
2004 and separated in April of this
year.

celebrity buzz
By Brooke Donald
Associated Press
SANTA MONICA, Calif. The
troubled saga of Lindsay Lohan
took another dangerous turn early
Tuesday when police charged her
with drunken driving and cocaine
possession after a frightened
woman dialed 911 to report being
chased by Lohans SUV.
Less than two weeks out of
rehab, with
another drunk
driving case
pending, Lohan
had a blood-
alcohol level
between .12
and .13 percent
when police
found her about
1:30 a.m., Sgt. Shane Talbot said.
Authorities had received a 911
call from the mother of Lohans for-
mer personal assistant, said Officer
Alex Padilla. The assistant had just
quit hours before, he said.
The mother was afraid, Padilla
said. She wasnt quite sure what
was going on so she called the
police saying she wanted to make
sure everything was going to be
OK.
The woman apparently didnt
realize it was Lohan who was
behind her, Padilla said.
Police said the woman drove
her black Cadillac Escalade into
the parking lot of Santa Monicas
Civic Auditorium, about a block
away from the Santa Monica Police
Department, followed by Lohan
driving a Denali sport utility vehi-
cle. Authorities arrived and saw
Lohan and the woman in heated
debate, Padilla said. Lohan and the
woman each had two passengers in
their vehicles, Padilla said.
After a field sobriety test, the 21-
year-old movie star was booked on
two misdemeanor charges of suspi-
cion of driving under the influence
and driving on a suspended license
and two felony charges of posses-
sion of cocaine and transport of a
narcotic, Talbot said.
During a pre-booking search,
police found cocaine in one of
Lohans pants pockets, Talbot said.
Several hours later, Lohan was
released on $25,000 bail.
A call to Lohans publicist,
Leslie Sloan Zelnik, and attorney,
Blair Berk, were not immediately
returned.
Padilla said he didnt know
why Lohan was trying to catch the
woman, whom he didnt name.
Last week, Lohan turned her-
self in to Beverly Hills police to
face charges of driving under the
influence in connection with a
Memorial Day weekend hit-and-
run crash.

Media picks Kansas to
fnish fourth in North
This isnt exactly the news any
Kansas fan wants to hear.
A preseason poll of media
members covering Big 12 football
selected Missouri to win the North
division, as the Tigers received 16
frst-place votes. The Jayhawks were
picked to fnish fourth in the North.
I am more focused on where we
will stand in December, rather than
the month of July,Kansas coach
Mark Mangino said in a statement.
Kansas has finished no better than
fourth in the North under Mangino.

Uniforms to adopt
ofcial University font
Athletics DepArtmeNt
Football, mens
basketball to be
frst teams with
Trajan font on
uniforms for
2007-08 seasons
Photo illustration by Drew Bergman/KANSAN
Although no ofcial photos or render-
ings of Kansas new football uniforms
and helmet with the Trajan font have
been released, heres The Kansans best
guess as to how the helmet would look.
Previous published reports have suggested
that the helmet will feature the Trajan KU,
instead of the block font from past years.
By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
The Universitys nearly $90,000
lettering will become more preva-
lent this fall.
The Kansas Athletics
Department said the uniforms
used by the football and mens
basketball teams for the upcom-
ing seasons would remain mostly
the same, but would include the
Trajan font that the University
adopted two years ago.
Associate athletics director
Jim Marchiony said the colors
wouldnt change and the look
wouldnt be much different except
for the font on the uniforms.
Its all part of the Universitys
effort to unify the graphic look,
Marchiony said. This year bas-
ketball and football will change
over. When other programs
uniforms wear out, they will be
changed as well.
The department pledged four
years ago to follow the Universitys
lead in incorporating its new
graphic design standards.
Football helmets will feature
the KU logo lettering in Trajan. In
Mark Manginos five years as head
coach the helmets have had a KU
logo in a block font.
Numbers and letters on the
football jerseys will also change
to Trajan. The new uniforms are
expected to be released at Kansas
media day later next month.
For nearly 20 years, the mens
basketball uniforms have featured
some version of the same font,
called western or circus by
many.
While the new visual identity,
including the new KU logo and
changes to the Jayhawk, cost the
University $88,900 in 2005, the
athletics department will not be
forced to pay for the new uni-
forms because of its contract with
Adidas.

Woodland wins Kansas
Amateur title
Former Jayhawk Gary Woodland
won the 97th
Kansas Amateur
golf title last
weekend in his
hometown of
Topeka.
It is Wood-
lands second
Kansas Amateur
title in three
years. The tournament was played
at the Topeka Country Club.
Woodland won the title by win-
ning his third consecutive match
by a score of 3&2. In the stroke-play
rounds, Woodland shot fve-under
par to move on to the six match-
play matches.
To do it in front of my friends
and family, on my home golf
course ... it was everything I expect-
ed it to be, and more,Woodland
told the Associated Press. There
were a lot of friends and family.
It was very enjoyable for me. It
means a ton.
Woodland also won the 2005
title, played at Colbert Hill Golf
Course in Manhattan.

By Dylan Schoonover
dschoonover@kansan.com
The NCAA tournament is eight
months away, but the media in Allen
Fieldhouse were still eager to learn
about the status of Brandon Rush and
his knee rehabilitation.
Rehab is a place Rush has become
familiar with. Hes there multiple
times, three days a week, and he
works on an exercise bike in between
therapy sessions.
Rush said he watched the entire
2007 NBA Draft knowing he could
have had his name called.
It was kind of tough watching the
draft, but I kept in mind that thats
going to be me next year, Rush said.
I just have to look at it differently.
Rush said he had talked a few
times to Julian Wright, who is in New
Orleans livin the life. Wright told
Rush that he was buying a house for
himself and a house for his mother.
While Wright is enjoying the perks of
the NBA, Rush has to start attending
classes again Aug. 16.
Rush said he wasnt depressed
but he also wasnt looking forward
to going back to the classroom. He
wont be able to start running for
another three months. He said that
his therapists wouldnt let him come
back on the court until he was fully
recovered.
Rush is busy spending several
hours each day rehabbing his knee
hoping to be 100 percent by the start
of December. He said he knew that if
he didnt do the necessary exercises
to help heal his knee, he may end
up with the limited mobility of his
brother, which is currently seen at the
Kansas City ProAm league.
Ive been there, I had the same
injury, JaRon Rush, Brandons broth-
er, said. Ive lost explosiveness from
not rehabbing it right. Hes got to
rehab it constantly.
Kansas coach Bill Self said that
another year in school could help
Rush develop better ball-handling
and passing skills. He also said it
could give him time to address work
ethic.
I told him its no ones fault. If it
had to happen, it was better to hap-
pen weeks before the draft process,
Self said. I expect this season to be
his last year.
Rush said he was looking forward
to being able to dunk a basketball
again once his therapists gave him
the green light. He said he was feel-
ing pretty good and even shooting
a basketball a little bit. He said along
with his family, his best friend Mario
Chalmers had helped him keep his
head up during the frustrating time.
Prior to the knee injury in May,
Rush hadnt had a serious injury since
he broke his wrist when he was 10.
Rush said he would be busy helping
out during games and practices even
though he couldnt play.
Coach Self may not want a lot
of coaching help, Rush said. Hes
already got five assistants.

Darrell Arthur cant remember
a time in his life when he had an
injury that kept him out of more
than one basketball game.
A r t h u r
said suffer-
ing the stress
fracture in
the lower part
of his left leg
in early July
f r u s t r a t e d
him because
not only did it
cause him to
miss the 2007 FIBA U19 World
Championship in Serbia, it also
hasnt allowed him time to partici-
pate in summer leagues and morn-
ing conditioning that would have
strengthened his game during the
offseason.
Arthur was the second Jayhawk
injured during the past few months
after junior guard Brandon Rush
tore the ACL in his right knee in
late May.
Im young, Ill have the chance
to play another world champi-
onship, hopefully, Arthur said.
Now instead of playing, Ill be in
getting therapy the same time as
Brandon.
Arthur said the therapy would
consist of a ball stimulation that
runs over the top and sides of
his lower leg, near the shin. He
said the therapy was not painful
but it was important to take seri-
ously because if not done right, the
injury would persist.
Theres just a small pain in
my leg, Arthur said. Everybody
around me says to take it day-by-
day and most importantly rehab
back completely.
Kansas coach Bill Self said in
a press release that this type of
injury wasnt uncommon. He said
he understood the disappointment
for Arthur but if it had to happen,
the summer was the better time.
Missing games during the
upcoming season shouldnt be an
issue for Arthur. He is expected
to return from the injury by the
beginning of September at the lat-
est. While he said he wasnt in any
hurry to return, Arthur was confi-
dent the injury would heal quickly
and he would be able to get back
to playing.
He said he had to stay positive
during the summer. So far, Arthur
was only able to log one official
game in Kansas City playing for
team Fade Away in the Kansas
City ProAm league. It could be
worse, however: If Arthur suffered
this injury during the year, the
Jayhawks could have been without
two potential starters.
Im not worried about it too
much. Its getting better, I just have
to stay off it, Arthur said. Ill be
back by the first practice for sure.

The Kansas rowing team moved
one step closer to its own facility
July 17.
The Lawrence City Commission
approved a measure that allows
city staff to continue negotiations
with Kansas Athletics about the
planned student-funded boathouse
near the Kansas River, which is
expected to cost nearly $6 million.
The new building will serve as
a storage area for boats and pro-
vide a locker room and a training
facility for the 72-member team.
University leaders promised to
build the rowing team this facility
when it began competing at varsity
status in 1995.
Commissioner Mike Amyx said
completing a
new state-of-
the-art building
on the riverfront
would enhance
the park along
the river.
There is
always safety
issues by the
river and at
night it is dark
along there,
Amyx said. The new facility with
the new lighting will bring a sense
of safety and security to the area.
Construction on the new facil-
ity will be funded by a student fee
referendum passed in the spring
of 2006. Under the terms of the
referendum, students will contrib-
ute $4 million to the project. That
referendum also calls for Kansas
Athletics Inc. to cover any addi-
tional costs of the construction.
Head coach Rob Catloth said
having a boathouse will contribute
to the teams success for years to
come. He said the new facility will
have a substantial impact on the
womens rowing team as well as
the Student Recreation and Fitness
Center crew team.
It will give a feeling of a home
base, Catloth said. It will serve
as a point of team unity and cer-
tainly boost our recruiting abili-
ties, which is an ease to running a
program.
Jim Marchiony, associate ath-
letics direc-
tor, said KAI
expects to con-
tribute around
$1 million for
the project. He
said that money
would come
from private
fund raising.
Design plans
show that the
building will
have two sto-
ries, and has also been designed to
handle potential flooding accord-
ing to FEMAs standards. The first
floor will contain boat storage
only.
Catloth said the new boathouse
would hold 72 boats on its ground
level with rowing machines and
locker rooms allocated to the sec-
ond level. The crew team will share
the boathouse facilities with the
womens varsity squads, Catloth
said.
The next step for the project
is for the University to receive
approval to lease part of the park. It
must also receive approval from the
Planning Commission and eventu-
ally the city commission. The city
commission did not release a date
for these next steps but they are
expected to be approved soon.

Kansas lost twice in overtime
and two other times by three points
or less last year. The Jayhawks also
blew a 35-17 halftime lead against
Baylor and gave up 42 second-half
points in a loss to Oklahoma State.
The finishes were so frustrat-
ing coach Mark Mangino and his
staff spent a chunk of the offseason
breaking down every play. Their
conclusions?
Just like anything else, theres
no simple answer, Mangino said.
There are situations where we had
some physical breakdowns by play-
ers, mental breakdowns, coaching
decisions. And we put it all together.
We say, You know, we all share the
blame for this thing. Lets make it
better.
The Jayhawks finished 6-6 and
their inability to finish games cost
them a bowl bid. Mangino said
all the problems are fixable and
promised a better season. He said
the players showed renewed dedica-
tion to their summer training regi-
mens.
