Student group advocates smart sex

BY BETH BEAVERS
bbeavers@kansan.com A student run group that promotes healthy sexuality and relationships is just trying to keep it real. The Sexuality Education Committee is presenting its annual Real Persons Guide to Human Sexuality at 7 p.m. on Mondays at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. We just wanted to get open, tolerant information out there, Mary Klayder, University Honors lecturer and advisor to the SEC, said. Reanna Putnam, Salina junior and SEC co-president, said the six members of the SEC began planning in May to expand the event from previous years. This year it features 10 topics, which is four more than in years past. Every year, the discussion topics change. Already this year the Guide has featured lecturers speaking about transexuality, domestic violence and pornography. Still to come are lecturers presenting on intimacy, communication, jealousy, monogamy, dyadic relationships, family influence on sexuality and homophobia. We picked topics we thought were interesting, Lauren Tullis, Carl Junction, Mo., senior and SEC co-president, said. But there is a lot of information out there that isnt accurate or healthy, so we wanted to get information from educated individuals. Putnam said lecturers included professors from the University, an advocate from Womens Transitional Care Services and a therapist who specializes in sexual and marital therapy. We try and get a variety of people from the community to come and speak, Putnam said. Putnam said Dr. Dennis Dailey, retired professor of human

polarizing protests

Confrontational tactics can lead to heated debates between opposing sides of a protest. Jay Childers, assistant professor of communications studies, said that a willingness to accept other viewpoints can lead to better discussion.

Rhetoric remains under debate

Emotions, reason difficult to balance in protest tactics
BY ZACH WHITE
white@kansan.com On a balmy September afternoon, Tammy Cooke stood outside Strong Hall, telling passersby about Justice For All, an antiabortion group for which she is a spokeswoman. Standing beneath an 18-foot wall of graphic images of fetuses, she stressed the organizations value of an evenhanded exploration of ideas. Our goal here today is to get people to come and talk to us about this issue, Cooke said. We are interested in having respectful and constructive dialogue. But not everyone cooperated. Justice For All surrounded the display with free speech boards, which were white boards for people to write their reactions. The boards showed a range of reactions to the scene, from Get the fuck off our campus to concerns about overpopulation and Pokemon references.

Jay Childers, assistant professor of communications studies who specializes in political rhetoric, said he thought debates such as these originated long before abortion became an issue. The argument that gets made a lot right now is that there is a lot of arguing at one another rather than with one another, which is often tied to the increases in

Whos at KU Who
Warren Corman
BY SaBrina lieDtKe
sliedtke@kansan.com back in Kansas 60 years ago. In fact, Stauffer-Flint Hall used to be the shop. And I learned how to weld and do factory work. What does it mean to be the university architect? I advise the chancellor on all things relating to building construction or design. We have over $100 million worth of construction going on right now. What is a regular day for you? I get up at five in the morning and go running for about 30 or 40 minutes. Come to work at about 6:30, come to the office, unlock it, bring in the papers. What is your most memorable experience at the University? Six years ago we dedicated the Dole Institute of Politics and I was in charge of the project. We had to get it done by Bob Doles 80th birthday, because he was coming
Alex Bonham-Carter/KANSAN

The Kansan sat down with Warren Corman, the university architect and special assistant to the chancellor, to talk about his time at the University. Corman graduated from the University in 1950 with a bachelors degree in architectural engineering. How have you seen the University change over the past 60 years? It has changed completely from a few thousand students to almost 30,000 students and the cars, there were very few cars and now it almost seems like everybody has them. You get a permit, which is a hunting license for a parking spot. As the population of students has increased so has the needs for buildings and programs. A lot of the programs were pretty simple

Warren Corman, assistant Chancellor of KU, poses in the newly renovated area in front of the original wall of Allen Fieldhouse. Corman, himself a graduate of KU in 1950, is the last surviving architect who designed Allen Fieldhouse. Corman said that he was only 25 when he and other architects began drawing the plans for the building. and we had a three-day celebration and we had about 50,000 people here for the celebration. The army was here and they flew all the living presidents in. Well, you know theres a lake around the building. Well, the day before the celebration, it had a lot of construction debris in it. It was in July and it was a hot day, so I left, I went home and got my swimsuit on, I got a fork stick and I put a nail in it, got a big trash bag and I waded that lake all day long picking up trash. The chancellor drove by and yelled at me What are you doing out there playing in the water?! So he always tells people I was playing in the water but I got it all cleaned up! What inspires you? Designing buildings that people like and love and use, and theyre worthwhile and practical. What has been your most proud accomplishment? I helped design Allen Fieldhouse in the 50s. Im the only one still living who worked on it. In 1952 we designed it and we dedicated it in 1955. We didnt think that much of it then, but now it has such a tradition of basketball with Naismith, Dean Smith, Roy Williams and Wilt Chamberlain. Thats probably one of the things Im most proud of. Now were adding on to it, and the chancellor said if you ruin the looks of it, Im going to bury you out there. Were not messing with the seating bowl, but were making more stairs. Do you have any secret hobbies? I like working in the yard. I grew up on a farm. What made you want to be an architect? My dad was an architect. What is your favorite quote? It is not the strongest that survive, nor the most intelligent, its the one thats most adaptable to change. Every time we want to do something, the old folks say youre changing it, its not the way it was. Edited by Jacob Muselmann

2007, certain professionals must file a report if there is reason to suspect that a child has been harmed by any type abuse, including sexual assault. kansas has similar laws for elders, making it mandatory that all types of professionals, from bankers to dentists, report instances of abuse that they may be aware of. however, there are no state laws requiring professionals to report instances of rape if the victim is competent and does not want to file a report. California is the only state that requires medical personnel and other professionals to report all they know regarding the suspected rape of a competent

adult, according to a report from the american Prosecutors research institute. Massachusetts is similar in that it requires professionals to report these type of suspected incidents, but the state does not use the information to prosecute suspects and never asks for personal information about the victim.

and that she wouldnt pay for one. Black said students should have the option of free lockers, but also said she understood how it could be an alternative way for the recreation center to make money. Chappell said the money made from these rental charges would be used to maintain the locker rooms, including paying for locks. Students using free lockers have always had to bring their own locks or to go without, but the recreation center provides locks to students who rent lockers. One of the goals, too, that we hoped to do was that it would keep people from taking their items upstairs and leaving them in all different places, Chappell said. The recreation center has a total of 100 lockers 50 in the mens locker room and 50 in the womens locker room. Twenty lockers in each locker room are now reserved for renting. Of the 40 lockers, 31 are currently rented out. Nine lockers are still available in the womens locker room. Edited by Jacob Musemann

Bees attack those involved in car crash

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ANKARA, Turkey A van carrying beehives crashed into a truck on Monday, and huge swarms of bees broke free and stung the injured and rescue workers at the scene. In the end, about 20 people were taken to hospitals, six of them injured in the crash and the rest rescue workers who were stung by the bees, said the staterun Anatolia news agency. One of the crash victims later died, but it was not immediately known if he had been killed by the impact of the accident or the insect attacks, said local Gov. Ahmet Altiparmak. The rescue workers including local beekeepers summoned to the scene used hoses, blankets and rags to try to ward off the bees. But it took about an hour for them to remove the crash victims from the chaotic scene, Anatolia said. The van hit the stationary truck on a road near the Mediterranean resort of Marmaris in southwestern Turkey, injuring four people in the van and two in the truck, Anatolia said. The impact burst open the bee hives in the van. The bees swarmed over the injured and police, medics and firefighters who responded to the accident, forcing authorities to seek the help of about 50 beekeepers in the area. As the crash victims waited for help, bees swarmed over them, Anatolia said. The news agencys video footage showed men in beekeeping clothing placing an injured man also in protective gear onto a stretcher in a swarm of bees and broken beehives, and carrying him down a hillside. Another person was seen hosing down the area to keep the bees away. Anatolia showed rescuers in orange-colored overalls inside a vehicle, trying to kill the bees by squashing them against windows, using a blanket and rags. Altiparmak said some of the injured were in serious condition.

Exploring more safety options, such as installing entrance cameras, should be considered because the student ID system has flaws. Students need to be responsible for their safety and be proactive in protecting themselves.

ore than four years have passed since disastrous Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, and the images of demolished buildings and homeless families have faded from our memories. But the nightmares are still a reality for the more than 14,000 families in New Orleans still living off Disaster Housing Assistance Program vouchers and the countless internally displaced persons. Unfortunately for those 14,000 families, the DHAP vouchers expire this month. According to Amnesty International, the government estimates that about half of those families could be eligible for Housing Choice Vouchers, allowing them to live in Section 8 Housing. But what options remain for the families who do not qualify for Section 8 Housing? Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care and necessary social services, according to Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. If more than 7,000 families lose their homes, the U.S. would be failing to uphold this clause. Now is not the time to place disaster relief in New Orleans on the back burner, but it seems that many Americans have pushed it to the back of their minds and consider it old news. I think its definitely not on everyones minds anymore just because the shock value is gone now, Hannah Nusz, co-director of the Alternative Breaks program, said. The program directors have decided to send a group of students to help clean up and build housing in New Orleans this winter break.

HUMAN TO HUMAN

KELLY COSBY
Alternative Breaks has gone to New Orleans in the past but had no programs there last year. This year, Nusz said the program felt as if something was missing. When youre rebuilding communities, rebuilding homes and peoples lives, that takes time, Nusz said. Its definitely not something that just happens in a few months. Nusz is completely right. The current quagmire that will leave many Katrina victims without housing is proof that reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts in New Orleans are not yet finished. If only there were other forms of assistance that victims could turn to when federal aid runs out. Groups such as the American Red Cross, Oxfam America, Louisiana Disaster Recovery and the NAACP Disaster Fund have helped since the hurricane hit. At least one of these organizations, Louisiana Disaster Recovery, is still offering support, but the thousands of families who risk losing their homes at the end of this month need a larger relief effort. Alternative Breaks does more than assist Katrina victims; it also provides a new perspective for the students involved. If more organizations still showed the interest Alternative Breaks is investing in the problem, New Orleans could make great strides forward.

Looking past dress codes I
n high school, I had a personal war with the dress code. Teachers were given a lot of leeway in deciding what constituted distracting apparel, and as a result, dressing for the day was like playing Russian Roulette. Some kids got away with neon rainbow hair and others were told they had to remove their black lipstick because it was a costume. My little brother is now dealing with it, and he constantly reminds me how lucky we are to be able to control our own appearances. On any given day at the University of Kansas, Ill pass people with piercings, handmade patch-work skirts and even fox tails. Its liberating to be able to focus on school work rather than conforming, but will we have this same freedom after college? The business, hospitality and engineering schools all had their career fairs this month. Coupled with the Universitys regular etiquette dinners and on-campus interviews, theyre supposed to help transition us to the professional world. But all these services promote only the mainstream image of formality. Such exclusivity just isnt realistic in the modern workplace. For example, mainstream formal etiquette says that wearing a hat

indoors is rude. But its acceptable for Islamic women to wear their head-coverings in the workplace. Religion is recognized as more important than dress codes. But what about people who dont have a religion? Are their personal convictions not important enough? As long as they abide by public nudity laws, they should be allowed to wear what best represents their beliefs, too. If you still dont think dress codes are outdated, consider the sexism involved in many businesses dress codes. Ive had several friends who were required to wear make-up, in companyapproved colors, to work. Talk about promoting self-image issues. I understand the function of standard uniforms; people need to be able to tell the difference between employees and customers. But in traditional business settings, where there are very few meetings without introductions, name-tags can serve the same use. And if exceptions are going to be made for

one, its difficult to justify keeping others suppressed. The alternative is complete conformity, and there have already been enough debates regarding religious jewelry to prove that just wont cut it. Luckily, some professionals have started to offer alternatives. Eidolon Career Solutions offers career advice for alternative professionals, including branding, resume building and interview techniques. Their motto, Be evaluated on your performance, not on your lifestyle, is what Ive been trying to achieve in my own career. The University prides itself in preparing its students for the professional world. It plays host to multi-cultural events, has an extensive international transfer program and generally tries to expose its students to the diversity of the world economy. But there are so many sub-cultures being ignored. Diversity in the workplace doesnt just mean people will be different races, religion, or sexualities. Our unique personalities and viewpoints are what make professional collaborations worthwhile in the first place, and they should be respected in all their manifestations.

auren Bornsteins column entitled Intersex athletes face unfair rules left me speechless. I simply could not believe what I was reading. Personally, I dont feel Caster Semenya was treated wrong or unfairly. I think the International Association of Athletics Federation had every right to, and should have, made Semenya take a gender test. I did a little research of my own, and found out that Semenya has internal testes, which we all know to be male genitalia. She lacks a womb and ovaries and has a testosterone level more than three times that of a normal woman. You say that other people are deciding her gender for her, but all the results seem to point to her being a male. I completely agree with you regarding her being called a hermaphrodite; that is totally false and an extremely ignorant thing to say.

The issue, as a whole, I have no problem with. If she thinks shes a woman then so be it; its none of my business. The problem begins when she tries to compete in a womans sport with a body that is technically male. That is unfair to all of her competitors, who you claim to be exhibiting poor sportsmanship. They have every right to be upset if they are competing in a womans sport against male athletes. No male would ever be allowed to compete in a womans sport why should it matter what sex he thinks he is? Semenya is an excellent athlete, but she should be competing with athletes of the same sex. You say that forcing Semenya and other female athletes to prove their sex shouldnt be done, but thats exactly what needs to be done. Competing in a womans sport, all participants should be female. I referred to Semenya as a she out of respect, because that is what she believes she is. Chris L. Brown is a sophomore from Fort Scott.

suddenly fell silent after three weeks of impressive performances. They did that hurry up offense a lot and in the fourth quarter they werent doing it so much, junior linebacker Drew Dudley said. "Not only that, but we got more used to their hurry up offense. We had more time to set up so everyone knew their responsibility. Junior defensive end Jake Laptad, who had Kansas only sack, said, He was getting rid of the ball really quick. I was getting frustrated with not being able to get back there and get him down. And the whole d-line wasnt getting one. Mangino and his players noted their shortcomings on the defensive side after the game. They said there was plenty of room for improvement and that the unit as a whole was still progressing each week. Still, the Jayhawks expressed a sense of optimism with their defensive performance against the Golden Eagles. You cant stop every offense every time, junior cornerback Chris Harris said.

Team in third place before final round

By Andrew wituszynski
awituszynski@kansan.com It was cold. It was windy. It was what the team wanted. When youre playing on your own home course thats exactly what you want, coach Kit Grove said. You want the course to play as tough as possible. Although the bad weather was perfect for the Jayhawks, they said they were not where they wanted to be after the first two rounds at the Kansas Invitational at Alvamar Monday. The teams goal at the beginning of the tournament was to win, but after 36 holes and with only 18 left to play, the Jayhawks are in third place. Kansas is five strokes behind second-place Oklahoma and seven strokes behind firstplace Missouri. It was a disappointing first day for us, Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior Nate Barbee said. If we have a good day tomorrow, though, we can come back and win it. Barbee shot one of the best rounds of the day, a 69 in round two, but said he was still disappointed. Barbees dad walked over as Barbee was looking at the scoreboard to tell him that he was in second place individually and Barbee said, I know, but Im more worried about the teams score. Barbee is one stroke back going into the final round tomorrow, and he will be paired with the overall leader. I would love to have him win it all, Grove said. If he can stay in the hunt all the way until the last few holes, he has a great shot. Bryan Hackenberg, Denver, Colo., senior, shot a 74 and a 76, helping lead the team. He is becoming Mr. Consistent for us. A 75 or 76 is about as bad as hell ever shoot, Grove said. The play of Alex Gutesha, Greenwood Village, Colo., freshman, and Jeff Bell, Wichita freshman, was where the team took some hits. Bell is the reigning club champion at Alvamar and shot a 73 to start, but he shot an 81 in the second round. Jeff played really well this morning, but you never want to have to count an 81 as one of your four scores, but we had to and well have to live with it, Grove said. Gutesha shot an 80 in the first round and an 86 in the second round. Gutesha shot rounds below par in each of the first two tournaments, but he was unable to do so in the first two rounds at Alvamar on Monday. Alex has great firepower and we need him to show it tomorrow if were going to win this. He just needs to eat something different tomorrow for breakfast than he did this morning, Grove said. The Jayhawks tee off at 8:30 a.m. today and are still in the hunt with 18 holes to go. We let it slip away from us a little bit, but were not too far behind, assistant coach John Handrigan said. Were still within striking distance. Edited by Nick Gerik

schemes not a poor performance from the line were to blame for the pressure on senior quarterback Todd Reesing. They took some shots on some blitzes, Mangino said. With three new starters and with returning starter Jeremiah Hatch moving from tackle to center this season the offensive line entered as an area of concern before Kansas first game. So far this season, though, Mangino has continually said that the line has played well, while continuing to improve with more game experience.

cowboys defense shuts down Panthers

AssOCiAted Press
ARLINGTON, Texas Terence Newman dived into the end zone, threw the ball into the air and exhaled. The Dallas Cowboys were headed to victory and their maligned defense was the main reason for it. Newman returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown with 5:07 left, cracking open a tight game and sending the Cowboys to a 21-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Monday night. Dallas (2-1) came into this game without a takeaway or a sack, the latter number an especially sorry stat for last years NFL leaders. But the Cowboys harassed Jake Delhomme into three sacks, two interceptions and a fumble and, most importantly, forced him and the Panthers (0-3) into four straight three-and-outs to start the second half. Two sacks and the fumble came on Carolinas final drive. Tony Romo moved the ball well all night, but struggled to turn deep drives into points. Dallas was leading only 13-7 when Newman picked off a ball intended for Steve Smith and zipped toward the right corner of the end zone, hurtling in as he was caught from behind. Teammates mobbed him in celebration while a loud crowd of 90,588 savored the likelihood of the Cowboys first victory in their new $1.15 billion home, a week after a last-second loss to the New York Giants. Romo bounced back from an ugly three-interception outing by playing very carefully. He was 22 of 33 for 255 yards with no touchdowns but also no turnovers. He didnt throw deep too often and rarely into traffic. He had a chance to give Dallas a 10-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, but missed on short lobs into the end zone to Roy Williams and Martellus Bennett, which gave Carolina hope. Youre always frustrated and disappointed when you dont play to what you feel like youre capable of. That was me last week, Romo said. Theres a lot of adversity you have to go through at different times, and if you keep plugging away, playing hard and just

Danks earns victory in Sox-Indians game

AssOCiAted Press
CLEVELAND Gordon Beckham drove in three runs to help John Danks earn his first victory in more than a month and the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 6-1 on Monday night. Danks first career complete game gave Chicago its third victory in four games following a stretch of seven losses in eight games. Cleveland came in one-half game ahead of last-place Kansas City in the AL Central after sweeping a three-game series from Baltimore. The Indians, trying to avoid a last-place finish for the first time since going a franchiseworst 57-101 in 1991, are 6-20 in September. A year ago, they went 32-17 down the stretch to finish at .500 giving hope to Cleveland fans that the Indians could return to contention after winning the division in 2007. Danks (13-10) allowed three hits and one run, striking out seven in his first complete game at any level since being drafted in 2003 by Texas. Shin-Soo Choo hit his 19th homer leading off the seventh to break up the left-handers bid for his first career shutout.

Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones (28) sprints away from Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers (90) and cornerback Richard Marshall (31) in the second half for a long run on Monday in Arlington, Texas. The Cowboys won 21-7. trying to get better, itll come out the right way. ... This week was all about trying to execute better so we could come out and get a win. Delhomme blew it with the interception to Newman on the ensuing possession, and now his season and Carolinas are going to face some heavy scrutiny. The Panthers have gone from 12-4 division champs to their worst start since 1998, when they started 0-7. Delhomme has 15 turnovers in his past 16 quarters, and Carolina is going into a bye week, meaning more time to stew over it all. Delhommes numbers werent terrible: 22 of 33 for 220 yards. But his six second-half drives ended with four punts, an interception and a fumble. Jay Ratliff had Dallas first sack and Mike Jenkins had the first pickoff. Rookie Victor Butler had the last two sacks, both on Carolinas final drive, and he forced the fumble on the final one. Cowboys running back Marion Barber sat out with a thigh problem, and second-year backs Felix Jones and Tashard Choice picked up the slack. Jones had plays of 16, 18 and 20 yards on the first two drives, but Dallas didnt have any points to show for it. He finished with 94 yards on only eight carries, and another 20 yards on a pass. He left with a knee injury in the third quarter, leaving Choice to handle the load. He finished with 82 yards on 18 carries, including a touchdown. Carolina went ahead 7-0 with a 90-yard drive just before halftime. Delhomme completed three passes for 58 yards to Dante Rosario, who caught three passes for 31 yards in the first two games. Rosario scored on a 25-yard reception. Dallas Nick Folk ended a streak of 16 straight field goals by missing a 40-yarder on the opening drive. He made a 24-yarder at the start of the second half, then Choice scored on a 5-yard run to put the Cowboys up 10-7 on their next drive. Folk made a 19-yarder to nudge the lead to 13-7 after the incompletions to Williams and Bennett. Jason Witten caught nine passes for 77 yards, and Roy Williams caught four for 75.

teams deal with suspensions, injuries and game prep

BY CLARK GOBLE TEXAS TECH PLAYERS SUSPENDED
cgoble@kansan.com Follow Clark Goble at twitter.com/ cgoble89. Senior offensive lineman and preseason All-American Brandon Carter and senior linebacker Marlon Williams have been suspended indefinitely by coach Mike Leach for breaking team rules. On Sunday, Williams used his Twitter account to ask why he had to be in a meeting room when the head coach cant even be on time. Leach vaguely addressed the issue in the Big 12s weekly teleconference Monday. He declined to detail much about their suspensions, but it seems to be related to the players Twitter pages. Anybody that wants to play with us doesnt have a Twitter page, Leach said. When probed about the players suspensions, Leach pointed reporters to a previous answer to a similar question where he said the suspensions were between him and his players. overlook the Cyclones, led by firstyear coach Paul Rhoads. I think Paul, as was well expected, has done extremely well, Snyder said. I had no doubt about that being the case.

Our image may change a little bit, but our structure and determination wont, Briles said. Emotionally, this is just when guys step up. The news is a bit surprising considering Griffin returned to finish the first half on Saturday with his knee heavily wrapped. Griffin also said after the game that he thought he would be able to play on the knee again. Briles said Griffin had been handling the situation well. Hell grow from it, well grow from it, and at the end of the day, a few months down the road, itll all be fine, Briles said. Its unfortunate that it happened but now well deal with it in a positive fashion. Edited by Amanda Thompson

Hearings to investigate racial bias

BY DAVID PORTER
Associated Press NEWARK, N.J. The next few days may feel like alumni week for the Hunterdon County Prosecutors Office, minus the good vibes and fond reminiscences. In the latest twist in the longrunning manslaughter case against former NBA star Jayson Williams, current and former employees, starting with county prosecutor J. Patrick Barnes, are expected to be grilled about racial bias in the investigation of the killing of hired driver Costas Gus Christofi at Williams central New Jersey mansion in 2002. Among those scheduled to testify are: Steven Lember, who tried Williams in 2004 and later resigned from the prosecutors office, Katharine Errickson, who was to have headed the prosecution at Williams upcoming retrial for reckless manslaughter but was fired in early 2008 and William Hunt, the former investigator whose use of a racial slur to describe Williams, who is black, precipitated the chain of events that led to this weeks hearings. Williams, who played nine seasons in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets, was acquitted of aggravated manslaughter in 2004 but convicted on four counts of covering up the crime. Several witnesses testified that after Williams handled a shotgun that fired and hit Christofi in the chest, he told them to lie to police and tampered with evidence. The jury deadlocked on a reckless manslaughter count, and a retrial is tentatively scheduled for January. Williams has been free on bail since the shooting. Defense attorneys will try to use this weeks hearings to place the entire case against Williams into question, including the con-

In this June 22 photo, retired NBA star Jayson Williams leaves Somerset County Courthouse in Somerville, N.J. Williams was acquitted in 2004 of aggravated manslaughter in the death of Costas Gus Christofi. He was convicted of trying to cover up the crime and faces retrial on a reckless manslaughter count. victions and retrial. Prosecutors have argued that the slur or any alleged bias had no effect on the convictions because the jury reached its verdicts on the basis of testimony by witnesses to the shooting. Neither Barnes nor Lember, who is in private practice, returned phone messages seeking comment Monday. At the very least, the hearings will focus more scrutiny on a prosecutors office that already faces three lawsuits by current and former employees including Errickson including one that alleges a hostile work environment and racially prejudicial atmosphere. The sight of prosecutors being questioned on the witness stand by defense attorneys is unusual, said Donald Robinson, former president of the Association of the Federal Bar of New Jersey. Within my experience, when there are charges of prosecutorial misconduct, theres an internal investigation and it usually ends there, Robinson said. But to have an open court hearing on what a prosecutor did or didnt do is a healthy thing because they should have to defend themselves when theyre accused.

Entering the final week of the season, Kansas Citys reticent ace has put himself in position to become the Royals first Cy Young Award winner since David Cone in 1994. Greinke dropped his majorsbest ERA to 2.06 while winning his 16th game Sunday against the Twins, escaping a basesloaded jam in the third inning of the 4-1 victory. The right-hander leads the majors with three shutouts, is second in the AL with 229 strikeouts and has allowed one run or less in 17 of 32 starts. And hes done it with some of the worst run support in the league. But as the Cy Young buzz builds, Greinke has shied away from the attention, calling it annoying.

Chiefs have yet to bring in a win this season

JOhN MArShAll
Associated Press Okla. KANSAS CITY, Mo. The defense is still a clunker, the next breakdown just around the corner. The offensive line, in disarray. Wins? Nope, not yet. For a team that underwent an offseason overhaul, the Kansas City Chiefs sure look a whole lot like last years run-down version. And it doesnt get any easier: Up next are the 3-0 New York Giants, with Dallas after that. Its pretty clear that our margin for error isnt real great at this time, Chiefs coach Todd Haley said Monday. We must, as a team and a coaching staff, really do everything right, all the little things included. This turnaround was never going to be easy. A team that won two games one year doesnt win the Super Bowl the next. Haley and new general manager Scott Pioli have done their best to shake things up, bringing in new players, new schemes and a no-nonsense attitude. So far, it hasnt amounted to a win. Three games into the season, the Chiefs are still generating more questions than answers. The defense has been porous and sporadic. The offense is ineffective and, at times, ultraconservative. Penalties, a point of emphasis for Haley in the preseason, have become a problem. Nothing, it seems, is going right for the Chiefs. Were not in a sense of panic right now, receiver Mark Bradley said. We have a sense of urgency to try to get things turned around and put some Ws in the column. Those seem to be getting hard to come by. A week ago against Oakland, Kansas City at least had a chance. The Chiefs outgained the Raiders 409-166, but lost 13-10 in the closing seconds. They didnt put up much of a fight against the Eagles. Playing without quarterback Donovan McNabb and running back Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia had no trouble rolling over the Chiefs, scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter and finishing with 420 total yards. The Eagles didnt even need Michael Vick to beat Kansas City; he had one run for seven yards and two incompletions in his first game in nearly three years. The Chiefs offense seemed to be stuck in neutral, generating one scoring drive in the first half and plenty of 2-yard runs in the second. Kansas City also had 10 penalties for 90 yards, including a holding call that wiped

Jaguars replace former defensive line starters

NFl

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed defensive end Bryan Smith off St. Louis practice squad and waived cornerback Kennard Cox and defensive end Jeremy Navarre. Smith, a third-round draft pick by Philadelphia in 2008, was inactive for every game last season. He signed with the Rams after the Eagles waived him following the preseason. Cox, signed in December, played in five games for Jacksonville, including two this season. Navarre started the season on the practice squad and was activated to the 53man roster two weeks ago. The Jaguars have been looking for help along the defensive line after losing former starters Rob Meier and Reggie Hayward for the season.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive ends, clockwise from lower left, Trent Cole, Darren Howard and Chris Clemons tackle Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel in the second quarter of a game in Philadelphia. The Chiefs are working to turn around the teams record. out a touchdown run by Jamaal Charles. Thats 19 flags in two games for a team that spent the entire preseason listening to the coaches harp on not having penalties. We cannot have 9-10 penalties in a game. We just cant do it, Haley said. We have to coach them and make them more aware than we have to this point. Offense is another pressing issue. The line still seems to be in chaos after multiple rejiggerings and the quarterbacks have paid for it, spending most of the first three games running for their lives. Brodie Croyle was sacked three times in the opener, Matt Cassel five times in two games since returning from a knee injury. Nearly every pass comes off the back foot or with a hand in their face. The running game has been affected, too. Kansas City had three yards rushing in the first half against the Eagles, frustrating Haley to the point that he went almost exclusively to the ground in the second even with his team trailing by 17. In no way was it a wave the white flag (situation), Haley said. In my gut, as the head coach, I felt like something had to be done not in that particular game to benefit this team going forward, to establish our mindset and kind of lay it out there, see whos got what. To a certain extent, Haley knows what hes got, at least from a talent standpoint. He knows his teams limitations, understands his personnel may not match up with Baltimore or Philadelphia, teams that reached the conference championship games last season. So while Haley and Pioli continue to search for new players they might be able to add, they realize the truth about their team: that it has play nearly perfect to have a chance to win.

McDaniels, team ignore criticism, stay positive

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. If youre listening for Josh McDaniels to say, I told you so, keep waiting. The Denver Broncos and their new coach answered their critics with a 3-0 start, but theyre not crowing about it. McDaniels is disregarding all the accolades coming his teams way. Its the same approach he took in the offseason when he brushed off criticism that he was an arrogant, baby-faced know-it-all who didnt know what he was doing by chasing off Pro Bowl quarterback Jay Cutler.

White House adviser Valerie Jarrett told The Associated Press on Monday that the president will leave Thursday for Europe. Obama would be the first U.S. president to take on such a direct role in lobbying for the games. Daley says the Obamas symbolize the hope, opportunity and inspiration that makes Chicago great. The mayor said there was nobody better to tell members of the International Olympic Committee about Chicagos commitment and enthusiasm for the games. Chicago is competing with Rio de Janeiro, Madrid and Tokyo. The IOC will pick the host city on Friday.

ESPN should focus on positives

By nicolas roesler
nroesler@kansan.com have a bone to pick with ESPN about its coverage of sports teams scattered between Los Angeles and Boston it doesnt cover anything. The first time I watched something about Kansas on ESPN this season was the day after the fights last week. I happened to see Kansas on the list of upcoming topics for debate on the show Pardon the Interruption as the news of the fights on campus spread like a rash, and all the two talking heads discussed was the immaturity of some of our players. Great job, guys. You were fighting over the attention of some girl when the only real attention you attracted was that of the ESPN paparazzi. That is all ESPN has become: paparazzi of the big men on campus. But the campus in this case is the U.S. and the big men are USC, Miami, Texas and Florida. What the guys on Pardon the Interruption failed to mention is that Kansas is off to another 4-0 start, that senior quarterback Todd Reesing is posting numbers just shy of the likes of Colt McCoy, a front runner for the Heisman. Reesing has attempted 143 passes and completed 96 of them for 1,137 yards. McCoy, on the other hand, has attempted 145 passes and completed 103 of them for just eight more yards than Reesing, with 1,145 yards. Both of them have thrown nine touchdowns this season. But ESPN could care less about Todd Reesing and this Kansas team that is looking for a Big 12 championship to end these programchanging seniors careers with a trophy to show for their success. Kansas has a deep pile of stories that anybody can pick and choose to write about, which local media have. But the problem is, ESPN isnt our local media. It is, however, for USC. Yet the Trojans go into Washington and lose. The top stories have all been about the upsets this season. Already, six of the top 10 teams have been upset by lower ranked teams and subsequently received all of the air time. But what about the teams that are doing what theyre supposed to be doing winning? Many top-ranked teams are making headlines with their freshmen and their ability to perform at the high level of Division I football straight out of high school. USC has Matt Barkley, Michigan has Tate Forcier and Kansas has Toben Opurum and Bradley McDougald. But despite its future looking brighter than Big Jays beak, nobody in the country knows except for the Kansas fans. This is not just happening to us, though. Boise State has now climbed to the No. 5 team in the AP Poll, but I doubt well see another story about the Broncos until they get upset somehow or when its late enough in the season to bring up the annual BCS debate. So ESPN, lets see some love for the positive stories coming out of Kansas. The Jayhawks dont just fight here they win. Edited by Amanda Thompson

At 8 years old, twin sisters Alyssa and Brittany Potter faced a daunting decision. Their parents told them they could choose to either continue their up-and-coming ballet careers or begin their swimming careers. The twins chose to nix the tutus and sport swimsuits and goggles instead. It was a choice that led all the way to swimming for the Jayhawks, whose season begins with an intrasquad meet Oct. 9. Probably one of the best decisions we ever made, Bentonville, Ark. junior swimmer Brittany said. With the days of dance in their rear view mirror, the twins began to develop their swimming skills. Although both eventually warmed up to to the water, Alyssa suffered through more early struggles.

Follow Andrew Taylor at twitter.com/ andrew_taylor11. When we were younger they actually said that Brittany had talent and I was going to have to work at it, Alyssa said. After about a year of witnessing Brittany bring home first place medals, Alyssa began to match her sisters swimming pace and eventually beat her. This early competition began to drive the two apart. When she started beating me, I thought it wasnt fun anymore, Brittany said. Over time, though, they began to view the competition as a means to better themselves both in the pool and out of the pool, instead of getting upset. That attitude has carried over to their careers at Kansas where

Alyssa competes in the butterfly and long distance events and Brittany competes in the butterfly and short distance events. They have a very unique sibling rivalry. Its very positive, very supportive, coach Clark Campbell said. Campbell has had the opportunity to coach several sets of twins throughout his coaching career. He said that Alyssa and Brittany were unique in that they had the ability to hunker down and get the job at hand done, but after its over move forward without carrying any hurt feelings over. Alyssa and Brittany have one common event, the 200-yard butterfly. In this, as well as their individual events, they continue to push each other as well as many of the other members on the team. I do like swimming against our teammates and seeing that

theyre doing well, Brittany said. Those teammates, especially the newcomers, arent always able to tell the identical twins apart just by looking at them. At first everyone was like we are never going to remember you. And people would just say, Hey Potter! or something like that, Alyssa said. There are small visual clues that are useful in identifying the two. Unlike Brittany, Alyssa has a freckle on her nose and is a little bit taller than her sister. Brittany also has a small freckle in the middle of her forehead. These minute indications are barely noticeable with just a quick glance. If you ask any one of them, you get to know us for a month and people say we look nothing alike, Alyssa said referring to her teammates. As Brittany and Alyssa enter their junior year, they now

have an expanded leadership role as upperclassmen. By all accounts the Potter twins have performed this new responsibility admirably. They lead by example in the pool, junior swimmer and team captain Joy Bunting said. They always come to practice willing to work hard. Campbell echoed this sentiment, but also said that they had improved their vocal leadership skills as well. Now that theyre older theyre not afraid to get on to someone whos maybe slacking a little bit, Campbell said. As Alyssa and Brittany continue their swimming careers, their personalities will continue to impact those around them. They have a real passion for people, Bunting said. They tell stories and interact, and do that in their own way. Edited by Abby Olcese Adam Buhler/KANSAN

Kansas struggles to slow Southern Miss offensive play

By Jayson JenKs mangino: Defense is maturing
jjenks@kansan.com Before Kansas defense was praised before the Jayhawks made the necessary stops to secure a 35-28 victory Saturday the unit heavily struggled to slow Southern Miss talented offense. Sure, the Jayhawks slowed the Golden Eagles potent run attack led by Damion Fletcher, who has rushed for more than 4,500 career yards. Other than that, though, Kansas had little to boast about, at least for the opening 45 minutes. Follow Kansan football writer Jayson Jenks at twitter.com/ JaysonJenks. After the game, players talked about a hard-to-describe toughness possessed by this years defense. They said it was something that wasnt always present on last years team. Mangino said that despite the less-than-effective showing early, Kansas defensive performance as a whole was viewed as a positive. Our defense is maturing, Mangino said. I thought we took a big step in maturing. We still have work to do but I think it was a big step. Operating out of a hurry-up spread offense, Southern Miss passing game sliced through Kansas defense, while piling up bigyardage plays. Southern Miss quarterback Austin Davis threw for 331 yards and three touchdowns. He was only sacked once by Kansas defensive line, which never really generated a consistent pass rush. In the moments after the game, members of the defense offered ideas as to why the defensive line
