Raleigh Worthington was 50
years old when he first stayed
at the Salvation Army Homeless
Shelter. He remembers because it
was age that put him there.
Worthington needed work
and had solicited jobs through-
out Lawrence with little luck. The
situation deteriorated into home-
lessness when his only job offer
loading oversize garage doors
onto storage lockers turned
out to be impossibly heavy for his
middle-aged body.
Worthington still struggles to
find a permanent job and home,
but he now grapples with a new
concern.
After the Salvation Army shel-
ter closed last spring, Lawrences
homeless will have 44 fewer sleep-
ing spaces to share this winter
when the temperature falls below
freezing, said Loring Henderson,
director of the Lawrence
Community Shelter.
For the first time in his six
years at the shelters, Worthington
worries that he and other home-
less Lawrence residents might not
have a place to stay when winter
arrives.
If theyre outside all night, and
they have no protection from the
weather, theres a good chance,
if its cold enough, theyre going
to freeze to death, Worthington
said.
Short on Space
Henderson said the Salvation
Army Shelter usually housed 42
guests last year but would expand
to 89 guests on freezing nights,
boosting the combined limit of
the two Lawrence shelters to 120
spaces.
He said the LCS tried to mini-
mize the effect of the closed
Salvation Army shelter with a ren-
ovation that expanded the LCSs
winter occupancy from 31 to 76
spaces.
But as winter approaches,
Henderson said, the occupancy
at the LCS last week has already
reached 66, only 10 guests from
having to turn people away.
Worthington said he remem-
bered frigid nights, as recent as
last winter, when both shelters
filled to their combined limit of
120 guests. He said he worried it
was only a matter of time before
those guests would seek refuge in
the 76 LCS spaces this winter and
instead find themselves outside
fighting the cold alone.
There are going to be nights
where they probably wont be able
to hold everyone, Worthington

Emily Willis, owner of Salon
Hawk, said one place she hadnt
expected to see the economy take
a toll was at her annual breast
cancer fundraiser. But the fund-
raiser, which is collecting bras for
the annual Bras Across the Kaw
and is selling hair extensions and
T-shirts, has only raised a small
fraction of its $10,000 goal.
Last year, Salon Hawks fundrais-
ing made up roughly a fifth of the
total money Lawrence Memorial
Hospital raised last year for breast
cancer awareness month.
Its been a lot slower this
year, Willis said. The economy
has played a big role in that since
money is tight and people are so
strapped for cash.
Willis also said the fundraiser
didnt have as many bras to hang
across the Kansas River as part of
the Bras across the Kaw fund-
raiser as it had in the past two
years. The bras, which were hung
October 15, will later be donated to
Lawrence womens shelters.
However, Willis said she didnt
think the economy was the only
factor slowing fundraising this
year.
She said that there hadnt been as
much publicity this year and that
not all of the publicity had been
positive.
If you turn this into a negative
thing, it slows down the good we
do, Willis said, referring to the let-
ter to the editor published in The
University Daily Kansan earlier
this month.
The letter said Willis attempts
to raise breast cancer awareness
were hypocritical because the Sun
of a Beach tanning salon, which
Willis also owns, co-sponsored the
fundraiser. In actuality, the hair
salon, which is solely sponsoring
the event, is a separate business

At 2:20 a.m. on Friday, for-
mer KU student Rachel Leek
was struck by a car as she rode
her bicycle along the 1000
block of Tennessee street. The
driver who allegedly hit Leek
left her lying on the road-
side. After the 20-year-old
was found, she was flown to
Stormont-Vail Hospital in
Topeka.
Leek died Friday from inju-
ries caused by the collision.
The Lawrence Police
Department, which is investi-
gating the incident, has yet to
identify the driver or vehicle
that struck Leek. Lawrence
police have released few details
about the event.

Tracy Russell, Lawrence Police

tion. Theres not going to be
any more releases until prob-
ably tomorrow morning.

1. South Korea considers
giving aid to North Korea
SEOUL, South Korea South
Korea will consider resuming
humanitarian aid to impover-
ished North Korea but it has
ruled out assistance on the large
scale of previous, more liberal
administrations, a senior ofcial
said Sunday.
Any such assistance would be
the frst from the conservative
administration of President Lee
Myung-bak, who has linked aid
to the Norths progress in get-
ting rid of its nuclear programs.
For a decade, South Korea
was one of the biggest donors
to the North, shipping hundreds
of thousands of tons of food
across the militarized border
every year. But aid stopped after
Lee took ofce last year with
a pledge to get tough on the
North. That prompted a dip in
relations, and tensions deep-
ened over the regimes nuclear
and missile tests earlier this year.
Ties have since improved.
North Korea asked for hu-
manitarian assistance at talks

government.

Twenty years ago, East Germany
opened its borders. The Berlin
Wall fell, David Hasselhoff sang
and Central Europe transformed.
This weekend, the Center for
Russian, Eastern European and
Eurasian Studies (CREES) played
host to a conference called Central
Europe 1989: Lessons and Legacies
to discuss those political and social
transformations. Experts from
universities across North America
and Europe covered topics from
economic development to gender
issues in Central Europe in the past
20 years. Central Europe includes
former East Germany, Poland,
Hungary, former Czechoslovakia,
Romania and Slovenia.
According to Edith Clowes,
director of CREES, the purpose
of the conference was to explore
changes across the entire region.
What we are trying to do is look
at the region as a whole, Clowes
said. The problems they share,
the advantages they share, and how
they can talk among themselves as
a region to move forward.
Jan Kubik, political science pro-
fessor at Rutgers University, was
a keynote speaker. Kubik, who is
originally from Poland, discussed
developments in the fields in soci-
ology and anthropology in Central
Europe. Kubik said bringing
together academics with different
specializations helped participants
to get a comprehensive look at the
issues.
The major strength of the con-
ference is that it is so diverse,
Kubik said. After 20 years there
are a lot of things to analyze and to
refresh our memories.
Kubik also said she thought the
conference highlighted the impor-
tance of Central European studies.
Laszlo Kulcsar, associate profes-
sor of sociology at Kansas State
University, agreed. He said that
the conference could inspire a new
generation of scholars.
It really allows people who are
fresh out of graduate school, start-
ing their professional career, and
still researching these things to keep
these ideas alive, Kulcsar said. Its
not like its been 20 years and the
problems are solved. Its been 20
years and some have been solved
and some new issues emerged. Its a
continuously developing field.
One new scholar is Eva Hruska,
Slavic department graduate student.
Hruska said she had anticipated the
line-up at the conference.
I cannot believe what big schol-
ars have come to our University,
Hruska said. Ive learned a lot
about certain aspects of the region
I am studying that I didnt even
know I should be looking into.
Hruska translated the play
RUR: Rossums Universal Robots
by Czech playwright Karel Capek.
The play is the origin of the word
robot. Members of the department
of theatre staged a reading of the
translation at the conference. The
play will also be read at CREES
Velvet Revolution Party on Nov. 7.
The party celebrates the non-vio-
lent revolution that overturned the
communist government in former
Czechoslovakia another trans-
formative event in Central Europe.
Anyone can register to attend.

HELENA, Mont. The federal
government is facing a lawsuit over
billions in unclaimed bonds that
date back to the patriotic fundrais-
ing efforts of World War II, leading
to a showdown between states who
say they should be given the money
and a Treasury Department that
claims ownership.
World War II sparked an unprec-
edented bond buying campaign,
spurred on by one of the largest
advertising campaigns ever seen
a drive wrapped in dutiful pleas
from celebrities, politicians and
cartoon characters alike.
Most American families bought
at least one bond at the time and
many never cashed them in
thanks in part to a 40-year matu-
rity in the bonds. And those same
Series E war bonds continued to
be sold by the federal government
until 1980.
More than $16 billion worth of
the bonds are unclaimed, either
lost or forgotten after the death of
the original purchasers.
The state attorneys general suing
the Treasury Department charge
that the federal government made
no effort to find those people. They
want the money given to the states,
who have a legal system in place for
finding the owners of unclaimed
funds.
Its better for the millions of
Americans who are the rightful
owners to have it returned to the
states, because the states will make
a real effort to find them, said
David Bishop, a partner at Kirby
McInerney who
is representing
the states in the
suit. And if after
searching for them
they cant find
them, the money
can go to work in
the communities
where the bonds
were purchased.
The Treasury
Department coun-
ters that it indeed tries to find
owners of the unclaimed bonds,
and says it has a Web site where
people can simply type in their
Social Security number to see if
they have one. And it points out
that the money is not just laying
around somewhere.
One of the misunderstandings
out there is that there is a lot of
cash sitting somewhere in a drawer.
Money from savings bonds was
used to run the daily operating
expenses of the government, said
Joyce Harris, with the Bureau of
the Public Debt. These are obliga-
tions of the federal government,
not the states. There is no pot
of gold out there just waiting for
someone to grab it.
The Treasury also points out
that most of the unclaimed bonds
are far more recent than the origi-
nal World War II era
bonds. And overall,
99 percent of people
claim their bonds.
And those who
dont cash them
often choose to do
so for tax reasons,
or perhaps out of a
sense of patriotism,
Harris said.
Quite frankly,
people are aware of
the bonds, she said. A majority,
when you contact them, are aware
of the bonds.
Its not like the states will get the
money free of obligation, about
$55 million in the case of Montana.
The states would be obligated to
pay bondholders no matter if it
takes them decades or longer
to show up. In the meantime,
though, states usually earmark the
interest earned on such unclaimed
money for schools or other pur-
poses.
Steve Bullock, the attorney gen-
eral for Montana, said states not
the federal government have
legally been granted the right to
deal with unclaimed money.
First and foremost I think it
is the right thing to do. I think
it is money that should be with
Montanans, Bullock said. Its an
important action to bring just to
protect the states interest.
The complaint was first filed
in Federal court in New Jersey in
2004 with New Jersey and North
Carolina as the plaintiffs. Montana,
Kentucky, Oklahoma and Missouri
later joined the case. All states
would benefit if the lawsuit is suc-
cessful.
The case will come down to con-
stitutional arguments. Attorneys for
the federal government are arguing
the states dont have standing on
what they see as a contract issue
between the original purchasers
and the Treasury Department.
The states expect arguments in
the case to be made later this year
on a motion from the federal gov-
ernment to dismiss the case.

It did spark a controversy,
which caused people to pay a lit-
tle more attention, she said. But
sometimes that doesnt necessarily
help.
Amber Adams, Willis roommate
who has been helping with the
fundraiser, said that the majority
of donated bras usually came from
sororities and that she expected to
see more come in as the fundraiser
continued to push forward. The
bras will continue to be collected
and donated, even though Bras
Across the Kaw has already hung
a portion of them.
Throughout October, Willis also
hosts pink parties to promote the
fundraiser. At a pink party, Willis
goes to peoples houses or even to
student housing to give pink hair
extensions to residents.
This type of thing really hits
home with a lot of people, Adams
said. It should pick up a lot with
the pink parties.
Despite the lack of funds making
their way to Salon Hawks fund-
raiser, Heather Ackerly, foundation
and corporate relations manager
of Lawrence Memorial Hospital,
said at this point they were still on
track to reach their goal amount of
$50,000.
There has been a huge commu-
nity effort this year, Ackerly said.
Lots of other organizations have
pitched in this year and, overall,
there are more community fund-
raising events taking place.
Willis said the sororities had also
decided to pitch in to help this year,
selling T-shirts as a part of the
Salon Hawk fundraiser.
I think these last weeks could
be great for her, Ackerly said of
Willis. Were still in the early stag-

Erin Pursel, Leawood masters
student at the Edwards Campus,
said she too felt concern while vol-
unteering at the LCS for her sum-
mer marketing class. She said the
guests would often sleep out front
when the shelter filled to capac-
ity, and she worried what would
happen to those guests when the
winter arrived.
The people that cant fit into
the shelter are sleeping under this
canopy outside, Pursel said. I
really dont know what theyre
going to do.
Henderson said he expected
more guests would soon line up at
the shelter at night as the weath-
er turned consistently cold and
camping became intolerable.
If they absolutely cant get in,
we try to give them blankets so
they can curl up some place out of
the wind and survive, Henderson
said.
Legally, the LCS cant accept
more than its current 76-person
limit because of fire regulations,
Lawrence Fire Marshal Rich Barr
said.
Barr said one of the biggest
problems of housing the homeless
at the LCS shelter or in a church
basement, as in the First Christian
Church earlier this year, was that
those buildings were not designed
to house large amounts of people.
When you change the use to
a residence, then it has to be pro-
tected, Barr said. It would have
to be sprinkled, it would have to
have a fire-alarm space, it would
have to have adequate exits.
A solution in sight
Henderson said the LCS was
currently raising funds in hopes
of constructing a new shelter with
a 125-person capacity where Dons
Steakhouse once stood at 2176 E.
23rd St.
Weve started to raise the
money, but we dont have enough
at all, Henderson said.
Mayor Robert Chestnut said
city commissioners would vote in
December on whether to approve
the new location. He said the city
had met little resistance to moving
the LCS, but neighbors of the pro-
posed site are opposing its reloca-
tion near their homes.
Theres a lot of concern in the
adjacent neighborhood, mak-
ing sure it wont have an adverse
impact, Chestnut said.
Henderson said even if the LCS
received approval from the city
commission to move to the new
location in December, the home-
less residents in Lawrence would
likely have to endure another win-
ter under the current shelter situ-
ation.
If we were going to have enough
for next winter, wed have to start
it now or within the next couple of
months, Henderson said.
For those who will have to sur-
vive the wintry weather with a
possible scarcity of shelter, even
one winter without additional
space seems dangerously long,
Worthington said.
For Worthington, the horror of
what can happen without shelter
in wintertime has a face, and he
wont ever forget the day he dis-
covered the cold had claimed the
life of someone he knew person-
ally. The victims body, he said,
was found frozen, lying in the
train park between Tennessee and
Kentucky streets.
I dont think Id want to
enforce such a rule on a cold
night, Worthington said, reflect-
ing on the tough job ahead of
the LCS staff this winter. I got to
look at people and say, Im sorry,
you cant stay here tonight. And
theyre looking at me like, Where
am I going to stay? What am I
going to do?

MEXICO CITY Hurricane
Rick, the strongest eastern North
Pacific storm in more than a
decade, weakened slightly over
open seas Sunday as forecasters
said it could veer into resorts
at the tip of the Baja California
Peninsula by midweek.
The track of the Category 5
hurricane threatened to disrupt
a major sport fishing tournament
scheduled to start Wednesday in
Los Cabos, where hundreds of
fishermen mainly Americans
were gathering.
The hurricanes winds were
still a howling 160 mph Sunday,
down slightly from a peak of 180
mph (285 kph), according to the
U.S. National Hurricane Center
in Miami, Florida.
It was projected to move over
cooler waters and weaken to
between 109 and 86 mph before
hitting land, but Rick is expected
to remain a dangerous hurricane
for the next couple of days, the
center said.
The eye was centered about 450
miles south of Cabo San Lucas as
of 5 p.m. EDT Sunday.
Los Caboss civil defense direc-
tor, Francisco Cota, said authori-
ties were already weighing plans
to open storm shelters and start
police patrols urging residents
of low-lying neighborhoods to
evacuate. We foresee opening a
lot of shelters, Cota said, while
noting the weather at the resort
was still warm and mostly sunny
Sunday.
The first inhabited land in
Ricks path is Socorro Island,
about 300 miles southwest of
Cabo San Lucas, where about
103 personnel from the Mexican
Navy and other government
agencies are based.
The mainland base that com-
mands the detachment said Navy
personnel on the island reported
some wind and rain and low-
ered communications antennas
to prevent them from being
blown away when the hurricane
passes near the island Monday.
Isla Socorro is a nature reserve
that hosts the Navy detachment
as well as scuba-diving expedi-
tions.
Rick was moving toward the
northwest at about 14 mph and
was expected to begin turning
toward the northwest over the
coming 48 hours before curving
toward the northeast, the center
said.

KABUL Afghanistans politi-
cal opposition accused President
Hamid Karzai on Sunday of delay-
ing release of a U.N.-backed inves-
tigation into fraud in the August
presidential balloting and pressur-
ing election officials to declare
him the winner.
International demands mount-
ed for Karzai to agree to a runoff
if the fraud probe shows that he
failed to win a majority of votes in
the Aug. 20 ballot.
A top U.S. official warned that
a decision on whether to send
thousands more
American troops
to battle Taliban-
led insurgents
must wait until the
Afghan election cri-
sis is resolved and
a credible govern-
ment is installed in
Kabul.
P r e l i mi n a r y
results showed
Karzai won the elec-
tion with more than 54
percent of the vote. However, if the
Electoral Complaints Commission
voids enough Karzai votes, the
incumbent would be forced into a
runoff against his chief challenger,
Abdullah Abdullah.
The complaints panel finished
its investigation last week. But the
announcement of its findings has
been repeatedly delayed because
the separate, Karzai-influenced
Independent Election Commission
has questioned the panels meth-
odology and statistical formulas.
Abdullahs deputy campaign
manager, Saleh Mohammad
Registani, accused Karzai of pres-
suring his supporters on the elec-
tion commission to delay release
of the fraud probe because they
will show him below the 50 per-
cent threshold to avoid a second
round of voting.
Karzai is the main problem in
this situation, Registani told The
Associated Press. He said Karzai
was insisting that the commission
announce that he had won a clear
majority even after the fraud
probe.
Karzai campaign spokesman
Waheed Omar said the president
had done nothing to influence the
election commission.
There is no way we can influ-
ence them, and even if we can, we
are not going to do it, Omar said.
According to Afghan law, the
complaints commission is the final
arbiter on election challenges.
However, members of the elec-
tion commission have insisted that
they have the authority to ques-
tion or challenge methods used by
the panel in investigating alleged
fraud.
Karzai has insisted that results of
the fraud investiga-
tion be announced
before he will
agree to a runoff,
and his aides have
expressed con-
fidence that the
presidents total
will end up over 50
percent.
That has raised
concern in Kabul
that Karzai might
refuse to accept
findings pointing to the need for a
runoff, a move that would plunge
this country into a political crisis
at a time when Taliban strength is
growing.
Various formulas have been
floated in Kabul to resolve the
impasse, including a proposal that
Abdullah would concede defeat
and forego a runoff in return for
a power-sharing agreement with
Karzai.
However, the proposals all
depend on Karzai accepting the
fraud panels findings even if they
show him failing to win re-elec-
tion outright.
For the moment we are wor-
ried ... because it seems that not
everybody is ready to accept the
results, French Foreign Minister
Bernard Kouchner told report-
ers Sunday in Kabul. They must
accept the results.
Kouchner said Karzai and
Abdullah should declare they
would be willing to accept the
findings of the complaints panel
even before they are released
because we need a consensus
and both sides have to sacrifice.
At the end of the day, a govern-
ment is necessary, Kouchner said.
That point was underscored
Sunday by President Barack
Obamas chief of staff, Rahm
Emanuel, and Sen. John Kerry,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
Emanuel said the main issue
facing Obama was not how many
U.S. troops were fighting in
Afghanistan but whether, in fact,
theres an Afghan partner.
In Sunday talk show interviews,
Emanuel repeatedly expressed
doubts about the Kabul govern-
ment as a reliable partner for the
U.S.
Theres not a security force,
an army, the type of services that
are important for the Afghans to
become true partners, Emanuel
said. It would be reckless to make
a decision on U.S. troop level if,
in fact, you havent done a thor-
ough analysis of whether, in fact,
theres an Afghan partner ready to
fill that space that the U.S. troops
would create and become a true
partner in governing.
Kerry, who visited Afghanistan
over the weekend, said Obama
should wait until the election pro-
cess had become clearer before he
decides whether to accept recom-
mendations by his top command-
er, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, for
tens of thousands more troops.
Kerry and Emanuel were on
CNNs State of the Union and
CBS Face the Nation.
The U.S.-led mission in
Afghanistan has already been
troubled by a spike in combat
deaths which has undermined
public support in the United States
and Western Europe. The specter
of an Afghan government taint-
ed by election fraud has raised
questions abroad whether saving
Afghanistan is worth the sacrifice.
A U.S. service member was
killed Sunday by a roadside bomb
in southern Afghanistan, raising
to at least 30 the number of U.S.
troops killed this month in the
Afghan war.

COLUMBUS, Ohio A
Roman Catholic priest impris-
oned for killing a nun 29 years
ago told a newspaper that he was
innocent, but a prosecutor and
the victims nephew wondered
why he was only making the
claim now.
The Rev. Gerald Robinson,
now 71, was convicted in 2006
for killing Sister Margaret Ann
Pahl in 1980 by strangling her
and stabbing her 31 times in a
Toledo hospital chapel. Church
historians have said its the only
documented case of a Catholic
priest killing a nun.
I didnt do this, Robinson
told The Columbus Dispatch for
Sunday editions. I have no idea
why anyone would do it.
Robinson was sentenced to a
mandatory term of 15 years to
life in prison.
Lee Pahl, the nuns nephew,
said he believed at the trial that
Robinson was the killer and con-
tinues to believe it. Hes also
bothered that Robinson, who
retired as a priest in 2004, has
not been defrocked.
As a convicted murderer, he
shouldnt be allowed to keep his
title as a priest, Pahl said.
The lead prosecutor said
Robinson should have made his
claim in court.
For him now to come out
and say he didnt do it I would
say to him, You missed your
chance to say that when it count-
ed, said Dean Mandros. He
didnt take the stand because
he knew he couldnt answer the
questions.
Lawyers for the Ohio
Innocence Project are continu-
ing tests to determine whether
DNA under Pahls fingernails
matches someone else. The
DNA doesnt match Robinson,
and it also didnt match the
Rev. Jerome Swiatecki, the late
priest whom Robinsons attor-
neys believed should have been
a suspect.
An 8-inch letter opener that
was a gift to Robinson became
the central piece of evidence that
prosecutors used to tie him to
the crime.
Robinson was charged with
murder in 2004 after question-
ing by cold-case detectives.

MOSCOW From the Cold
War to a Battle of the Bands.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin,
by some accounts a big fan of
ABBA, has suggested organizing
an international song competi-
tion for Russia, Central Asia and
China, saying it would strengthen
cultural ties among the nations.
Uzbekistan Idol, perhaps? Or
maybe Tajikistans Got Talent.
Europe has been holding such
a competition for decades, called
the Eurovision Song Contest.
Known for campy and glitzy
performers, the annual showcase
for singers and musicians from
across the continent typically
attracts 100 million viewers or
more from around the world on
TV and the Internet.
After regional competition, the
overall winners are chosen by a
panel of judges and telephone or
text voting by participating coun-
tries, similar to American Idol,
although fans cannot vote for their
own nations entry.
The most famous winners of
the contest include ABBA in 1974
and Celine Dion in 1988. Russia
won the competition in 2008 with
heartthrob Dima Bilans song,
Believe.
Moscow is still beaming after
hosting Eurovision in May, watched
by 125 million Europeans.
Some contestants tried to inject
politics into the event, with the
pop group Stephane and 3G from
Georgia vowing to perform We
Dont Wanna Put In a thinly
veiled jab at the Russian prime
minister stemming from the war
between Russia and Georgia in
2008. The group pulled out when
organizers warned that politically
charged songs would not be per-
mitted.
Putin has tried to bring the
worlds top events to Russia to
showcase it as a prosperous, mod-
ern nation. He personally cam-
paigned successfully to bring
the 2014 Olympics to the Black
Sea resort of Sochi, and he met
Thursday with Sepp Blatter, the
head of soccers governing body,
to push Russias bid for the 2018
or 2022 World Cup.
Putin first suggested creating
a Eurasian version of the con-
test this week in China, dub-
bing it Intervision, to take place
among members of the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization a
regional economic and political
pact designed in part to counter
NATO.
The idea of a Eurasian con-
test fits with Putins geopolitical
strategy of casting Russia as a
country whose political sway and
cultural influence transcends the
immense geographical span of its
borders.

A
bove the white refrig-
erator in my kitchen is a
cabinet brimming with
plastic shopping bags, the result of
a post-grocery, pre-recycling ritu-
al among me and my roommates.
Te idea is to wad up all the bags
into a white or tannish-brown ball
and stuf them into the cabinet,
before a sof avalanche tumbles
out onto our kitchen foor.
Two things, however, have be-
come apparent. First is that our
cabinet is quickly reaching maxi-
mum capacity. Second is that
despite my roommates and my
humble intentions to be Earth
conscious, we dont follow through
as ofen as wed like.
I imagine our predicament isnt
too diferent from most. For the
past three years, weve all heard
about the importance of being
green. Weve seen pictures of ice
caps melting. Celebrities have told
us to take shorter showers. We can
fnally even wash our clothes with
chemical-free detergent.
But for all the increased atten-
tion environmentalism has gar-
nered in media and the market-
place, few of us have signifcantly
altered our habits. Nor has the
weight of our impact on the Earth
lessened. For many of us, the idea
of environmental consciousness
remains something we probably
should strive for, but that some-
how lingers as peripheral concern,
clouded by more immediate mat-
ters of life.
A lot of green campaigns and
media hype have been inefective
in provoking real change because
they revolve around two things:
celebrity and consumerism.
Whether its Oprah giving green
workout tips or Huggies organic
disposable diapers, when sustain-
able living is marketed as sexy or
purchasable, the result is another
temporary trend.
What if our reasons for respon-
sible living came from somewhere
deeper within, or even above?
In a lecture given last spring
in one of my journalism classes,
environmental journalist and as-
sociate professor in the School of
Journalism Simran Sethi argued
that lasting motivation for envi-
ronmental change could come not
from external infuences, but from
within. She concluded that per-
haps the greatest hope for lasting
environmental change lay not in
Hollywood or on Wall Street, but
in the church.
For many, faith would seem an
unlikely springboard for environ-
mental activism. Yet more and
more faith communities are tak-
ing declarative measures to care
for creation. In a context of faith,
the motivation has less to do with
climate change and more to do
with wisely stewarding the beauty
around us.
In Romans 1:20 Saint Paul
wrote, Since the creation of the
world Gods invisible qualities
have been clearly seen, being
understood from what has been
made.
For Paul, the beauty of the natu-
ral world was so great that one
couldnt help but see God in it. In
the Hebrew Scriptures, rivers, trees
and mountains all interweave into
divine metaphors. Even in Gen-
esis, mankind is born from fresh
soil and sacred breath.
What then would Paul say to
a world where forests are shaved
bare and mountaintops removed
for coal? Does our dwindling of
creation hamper how we see God
in it?
For people of faith, sustainable
living should be imperative not
only to preserve the planet, but to
preserve an integral way of expe-
riencing the divine. Its a lasting
imperative with ancient underpin-
nings: the color of God is green.

I
am a traitor.
The Saturday of home-
coming, I skipped out of the
football game early and drove to
Manhattan to visit some family
and friends who were in town.
It was a cool day so I was wear-
ing a KU hoodie.
Whenever Im in Manhattan
I usually try to wear some piece
of KU apparel. Im not a jerk
about it; its just fun. This time
was different. I had to think
about whether to do it.
The University has received
a lot of attention this academic
year. Fights between basket-
ball and football players, the
outbreak of the H1N1 virus
on campus, the push to reform
alcohol policy, the announce-
ments of the Gridiron Club and
a Lied Center expansion and a
reported rape in a residence hall
begin to add up.
And what they add up to is
the perception that this school
is different, a bit more raucous
a place where things hap-
pen, both good and bad. The
University of Kansas seems to
be a place that soars higher than
others but also falls harder.
Its the kind of environment
not everyone enjoys. While in
Manhattan, I was talking to a
Kansas State student who said
she would not want to live in
Lawrence. Over the course of
the conversation, as the topic of
our campus fights and the fact
that there had been a drive-by
shooting near my residence last
year came up, even I thought
inside that this couldnt look
very good.
This dual reality of a progres-
sive, idealistic university and a
university scarred by violence
and unrest is not something
new, though.
In the homecoming spe-
cial section published in The
University Daily Kansan, an
article on the tumultuous his-
tory of Lawrence during the
1960s and 70s reminded me
that these two realities used to
loom much larger than they do
now. The story recounted the
1970 bombing of the Kansas
Union as well as dozens of other
bombings and arsons that led
the administration to consider
sending students home, which
they did after students (unsur-
prisingly) by voice vote chose
overwhelmingly to leave.
But students also spoke out
in marches and sit-ins against
racist and sexist policies and
the Vietnam War. In 1972, 30
women took over the East Asian
Studies Building to fight for
equal rights for female students
at the University.
Their demands, which
included a womens studies
program and womens health
care among others, were met 13
hours later.
Forty years later, this
University is still a place where
our highest ideals and basest
instincts fight in a very public
way.
Today, when embarrassing
and sad incidents seem more
prevalent than positive devel-
opments, I remind myself that
someday, just as in the past, it
will be the other way around.
Which is why the next time Im
in Manhattan, Ill still be wear-
ing my KU hoodie.

RELIGIOuSLy
LeTTer TO THe ediTOr
Who conservatives
truly stand up for
In response to Chet Comptons
Oct. 9 column Liberalism versus
conservatism, I would like to
bring attention to his key point:
That the conservative right
side fights for the individual.
This argument is completely
contradictory to the actions we
really see from the right side.
In fact, the right side operates
under the belief that only specific
individuals deserve rights. For
example, conservatives believe
that certain individuals should
not be given the right to legally
marry the person they love, nor
should individuals be allowed to
choose what they believe is best
for themselves and their unborn
children.
Not only does the conservative
side believe people do not
deserve these rights, they fight
to keep people from obtaining
them.
It is true that bringing religion
into the argument makes the left
side fidgety. That is because the
left side is willing to recognize
that there are people in this
country who do not share the
same Christian ideals as the
conservatives. Therefore, laws
should not be made on that
religious basis. Once again,
these actions do not protect
individuals who do not share
the same views it undermines
them.
The right side fights for
only one individual: The
powerful, wealthy, Christian and
white individual. The idea of
protecting only the individuals
who fit specific criteria is the
main difference between the
liberal left and the conservative
right. The left side is able to see
that limiting protection comes
at a huge cost for everyone else
and the people who truly need
protection.

A demolition crewbegins tearing down an uninhabited house located at 1232 Louisiana St. Thursday. The Lawrence City Commission passed a
resolution in August 2008 to demolish the residence, which it said was too dangerous and a detriment to the welfare of the surrounding neighborhood.

Associated Press
FORT COLLINS, Colo. The
story that a little boy had floated
away in a giant helium balloon
was a hoax concocted to land a
reality television show, authorities
said, and the boys parents will
likely face felony charges.
The stunt two weeks in the
planning was a marketing ploy by
Richard and Mayumi Heene, who
met in acting school in Hollywood
and have appeared on the ABC
reality show Wife Swap, Larimer
County Sheriff Jim Alderden said.
The Heenes have reportedly been
working on a reality TV deal in
Los Angeles.
Six-year-old Falcon Heene may
not have even been hiding in the
rafters of the familys garage dur-
ing the intense five-hour search
for him Thursday, Alderden said.
For all we know he may have
been two blocks down the road
playing on the swing in the city
park, the sheriff said.
The stunt temporarily shut
down Denver International
Airport and caused the National
Guard to scramble two helicopters
in an attempt to rescue the boy,
who was believed to be inside the
flying-saucer shaped homemade
balloon that hurtled more than 50
miles across two counties.
The drama played out on live
television to millions of viewers
worldwide. When the balloon
landed without the boy in it, offi-
cials thought he had fallen out
and began a grim search for his
body.
In fact, the balloon which
was held together with duct tape
would not have been able to
launch with the 37-pound-boy
inside, Colorado State University
physics professor Brian Jones has
determined.
The parents werent under
arrest, the sheriff said. He said he
expected to recommend charges
of conspiracy, contributing to the
delinquency of a minor, making
a false report to authorities and
attempting to influence a public
servant. Federal charges were also
possible.
The most serious charges are
felonies and carry a maximum
sentence of six years in prison and
a $500,000 fine. Alderden said
they would be seeking restitution
for the costs, though he didnt
have an estimate.
The cost for just the two military
helicopters was about $14,500.
Richard and Mayumi Heene
were shopping for snacks at
Walmart with their three sons as
Alderden told reporters that the
whole thing was a hoax.
Richard Heene told The
Associated Press he was seeking
counsel, though it was unclear
whether he was talking about hir-
ing an attorney. Alderman said
the ACLU was representing the
family, but the ACLU didnt return
messages left Sunday.
This thing has become so
convoluted, Heene said as tears
welled in his eyes. He said his
wife was holding together better
than he was.
The sheriff said all three of
the Heenes sons knew of the
Thursday hoax, but likely wont
face charges because of their ages.
The oldest son is 10.

Kansas players slowly trickled
out of the locker room after the
game. They carried with them
pizza, Gatorade and the disap-
pointment from a loss that had
slipped through their fingers.
As the Jayhawks made their way
into the throng of friends and fam-
ily, Colorados band blasted music
while marching out of the stadium,
leaving behind an empty field that
served as the stage for a fan-swarm-
ing party just moments before.
That 17th-ranked Kansas lost
34-30 at Colorado is certainly sur-
prising. But whats more startling is
that the Jayhawks didnt cap a furi-
ous comeback with a late, game-
winning scoring drive.
Senior quarterback Todd
Reesing the leader of Kansas
late-game heroics against Missouri
and the player with the shine-in-
the-spotlight reputation had the
chance to manage another such
finish. And so, on Kansas final
possession with 59 seconds left,
it seemed destined that Reesing
would pull another rabbit out of
his hat.
Instead, his deep pass as time
expired was jarred from the hands
of junior wide receiver Dezmon
Briscoe in the end zone, trigger-
ing a gold rush onto the field from
those in the stands.
I was real close actually, Briscoe
said. I had the ball, came down
and the guys helmet hit it. He was
in the right position. They came to
play; we didnt.
In the series before their final
drive, the Jayhawks seemed to
have grasped the lead with slightly
more than four minutes left when
Reesing flipped a pass to senior
wide receiver Kerry Meier in the
end zone.
But the play was nullified as
junior wide receiver Johnathan
Wilson was flagged for a contro-

Freshman guard Xavier Henry
stepped out of the phog and into a
cheering Allen Fieldhouse. Henry
was overwhelmed.
It was a full packed house and
I have to get used to it being at
home, he said. I was nervous the
whole time. I was nervous all this
week, I was nervous this whole
year.
It may have been Henrys first
time, but most fans gathered to see
the 25th installment of Late Night
knew what to expect: skits, danc-
ing, video montages and scrim-
mages.
In one skit, the mens team took
a stab at ESPNs College GameDay
for being in Manhattan and not
Lawrence this year.
Coach Bill Self entertained the
crowd with his rendition of Digger
Phelps, complete with Phelps
characteristic matching tie and
highlighter pen and references to
Notre Dame.
Self also dropped what was per-
haps the joke of the night when he
referred to his players as having a
little fight in them, a statement
that reminded many of the recent
fights between the basketball and
football teams.
Afterward, Self said it was
merely a play on words and was
not meant to make light of the
situation.
As in past Late Nights, the mens
basketball team donned crazy
getups and busted silly moves.
C.J. Henry sported bright yel-
low throwback shorts, Tyrel Reed
showed off his worm and Mario
Little and Sherron Collins per-
formed a snazzy Michael Jackson
routine.
Earlier in the evening, the
womens basketball team did some
dancing of its own in a glorified
version of American Idol.
After breathtaking displays of
the history of Kansas basketball,
the team played in a 20-minute
scrimmage to show off its No. 1
ranking by every major preseason
poll.
The game was fun for the fans,
but not from a coaching stand-
point Self made it clear that the
team was not ready to hang any
championship banners just yet.
Self said that he was not
impressed by what he saw a
lot of rusty players and a game of
H-O-R-S-E.
Pitiful play in some regards,
Self said. You cant expect it to be
anything other than that.
Yet there were some highlights
for the fans, at least.
Travis Releford, playing for the
red team, and Markieff Morris,
playing for the blue, each scored
a scrimmage-high 15 points.
Releford started the game guns-
a-blazing.
Right off the tip was a good lob
from Tyshawn, and that dunk just
kept me going after that, he said.
At the end of the night, senior
guard Sherron Collins thanked
the fans for their support and said
that the team wanted to start the
season fresh and leave the past
behind.
With his teammates huddled
on the court, Collins ended the
night by giving the crowd a reason
to think the Jayhawks had their
focus in the right place: Family
on three!

Comeback drive comes up short

Senior quarterback Todd Reesing foats a pass as he is hit by a Colorado defender. The pass fell incomplete but was nearly intercepted by a Colorado safety. Reesing was 30-for-51 for 401

hen the potential
game-winning catch
slipped through
Dezmon Briscoes fingers, percep-
tions of Kansas offensive omnipo-
tence fell, as the ball did, to the
turf.
Kansas trailed Colorado 24-3
at one point, but that wasnt too
much of a cause for concern. Not
with Todd Reesing at quarterback.
Not with Dezmon Briscoe and
Kerry Meier as his targets. Not
with Jake Sharp healthy. Kansas
offense would come alive and,
should the defense hold Colorado
in check, lead a comeback.
After all, wed seen this story
before. Last season at Iowa State,
Kansas fell behind to an under-
whelming Big 12 North opponent
in its first conference road game.
But there wasnt a need to be too
concerned. The Jayhawks, led by
the aforementioned offensive stars,
came back.
This Saturday, it was expected
that the Boulder crowd would
be forced to endure a repeat per-
formance. And, albeit briefly, it
looked like those expectations
would be fulfilled. Kansas offense
did find its legs. Reesing did find
his weapons and Kansas did take
the lead.
Even when Colorado recaptured
the game, matters never seemed
out of hand. 34-30? No problem.
Reesing would do what he does
what he seemingly has always done
and Kansas would win. Same
old story. Only there was a hic-
cup. Briscoe, blanketed in double
coverage, couldnt come up with a

In case you missed it ...
9:57 a.m. The most dedicated
Jayhawk fans muster some courage
and camp in front of the fieldhouse
with blankets, beach chairs and
beanie hats on a cold fall morning.
2:43 p.m. My crew arrives.
After circling around the field-
house, we join the line by the stu-
dent entrance, the second shortest
of three lines.
5:30 p.m. The sun sneaks
into a cold day, shining down on
the slowly shuffling lines. Everyone
cheers as the doors open. The
scene is a mad rush of competitive
fans in search of the perfect seat,
juking and hurdling past elders
and security.
5:37 p.m. We arrive at our
seats after shimmying through
thick layers of fans. The fieldhouse
gradually fills to capacity.
6:30 p.m. A deep voiced
announcer welcomes all to the
25th anniversary of Late Night
in the Phog. The band raises its
dazzling gold instruments and the
fight song begins.
6:50 p.m. The Drives three-
point contest is massacred by a guy
with Ostertag range. After making
a mere two three pointers in thirty
seconds, he dances around and
dives into the heart of the Jayhawk
at center court, then proceeds with
an unassisted backflip. Clearly this
man just stole the show.
6:57 p.m. Kansas Athletics
greets members of the baseball,
golf, rowing, softball, swimming/
diving and tennis teams at center
court.
7:03 p.m. Divided by gen-
der, two teams go head to head in
the Simon Says Challenge. People
enjoy the humor of the jester that
conducts the challenge, but the
event is dragged out a little too
long.
7:13 p.m. The dance edition
of American Idol begins, featur-
ing the womens basketball team,
judged by the coaches. Goofy danc-
es to MC Hammers Cant Touch
This, Beyonces Single Ladies and
Michael Jacksons Thriller give
the crowd some laughs. Assistant
coach Katie OConnor does a
mighty fine Simon Cowell imper-
sonation, dissing every player like
its second nature.
7:32 p.m. Coach Bonnie
Henrickson speaks. Theres plenty
of room to hang more champion-
ship banners, she says.
7:47 p.m. The womens team
scrimmages in a fun and easy going
exhibition of three pointers and
barely defended lay-ups.
8:06 p.m. Everyone knows
that the mens team is coming
when the cheerleaders suddenly
come out for another dance.
8:09 p.m. The battle of the
sexes free throw contest begins, but
the minds of the fans are already in
another place. We want the mens
team and we want them now.
8:17 p.m. Bill Self strolls onto
the court. This is one of the nights
that makes Kansas the best place to
play and coach, Self shouts. Our
goal is definitely to get back to
Indianapolis, Self proclaims.
8:34 p.m. The mens team
coaches impersonate the ESPN
college game day crew. Self plays
Digger Phelps, Kurtis Townsend
nails Hubie Davis, Barry Hinson
gathers some boos as he plays for-
mer Duke Blue Devil Jay Bilas and
Brett Ballard plays Rece Davis.
8:42 p.m. While most of the
dances are nothing to write home
about, Mario Little proves to be
the exception. The senior swing-
man impresses alongside Sherron
Collins and two female dancers
as the four boogie to Michael
Jacksons Billie Jean.
9:16 p.m. After a video that
was so powerful it could pump
up a sloth, the mens team is intro-
duced. The field-house erupts.
9:29 p.m. The mens scrim-
mage is a showcase of alley oops
and overly competitive hustle. Its
amazing to watch so many prime
athletes play together. Travis
Releford is named MVP of the
scrimmage, perhaps the least
important award in the history of
Kansas basketball.
9:51 p.m. Dripping sweat
and huffing and puffing, Sherron
Collins addresses the crowd. We
need you guys, Collins says. The
show is over.

Junior guard Brady Morning-
star, who was arrested on charges
of driving while intoxicated earlier
this month, spoke for the frst time
about his fall semester suspension
when his team gathered for media
day last Tursday.
You live and you learn, he said.
You make mistakes and I made a
terrible mistake. Im going to try
to bring a positive out of it.
At this point, Morningstar said,
he is making amends the only way
he can to his team: by helping his
teammates improve, teaching the
young guys and continuing to
work out and learn the plays him-
self.
Junior center Cole Aldrich said
he just wanted his teammate back
on the court.
Brady knows that he made a
big mistake, he said. Were just
moving forward past it and saying,
Were excited for you to get back
and play with us.
Morningstar said support from
friends and family was helping
him move on,
My teammates are my team-
mates, he said. Tey always have
my back and
I always have
their back. Its
just something
that helps me
move on.
Head coach
Bill Self in-
tended for
Morni ngst ar
to have a big role in the rotation
this year, but said a coachs vision
was hardly ever realized. With this
seasons roster, Self has plenty of
help to replace Morningstar, who
averaged 30 minutes per game last
season.
Weve got some other guys
that are pretty good that are dis-
appointed about the sequence of
events where he doesnt play but
also may take advantage of an op-
portunity, too, Self said. Tats
why we have depth.
Tis was more than a learning
experience for one player, Aldrich
said.
You get put in situations and
people handle it diferently, but
weve just got to learn, Aldrich
said. Weve got to learn as a team
on the court and of the court.

The womens basketball
team was recently selected
to fnish second in the Big
12 in a poll of the leagues
head coaches. Kansas tied for
second with Texas, each school
receiving three frst-place
votes.
Being picked second is a
refection of how we fnished
last season, and the quality
of players we have returning
to the team, coach Bonnie
Henrickson said. We have our
work cut out for us. I think this
year, in particular, there is a
lot of depth and talent all over
the league, so several teams
should be starting the season
feeling like they truly have a
chance of winning a champi-
onship. We feel like we are one
of those teams.

the 2009-10 seasons.
The womens team will
be led by Lauren Bonds,
Julia Cummings, Kelsey Erb,
Amanda Miller and Shayla
Wilson. The mens team will
be captained by Ryan Hays,
Eric Fattig, Jordan Scott, Iain
Trimble and Keron Toussaint.
Bonds will serve as track
team captain for the third con-
secutive year. This makes her
the fourth woman in Kansas
history to be named captain
three times. During indoor
season last year, Bonds set
two school records in the mile
(4:43.74) and 1,000 meters
(2:26.60).
Scott will also serve as mens
team captain for his third-
consecutive season. Scott is
a two-time NCAA Indoor All-
American and three-time Big
12 champion in the pole vault.
The 2009-10 track and feld
season begins Dec. 5 with
the Bob Timmons Challenge
before a one-month hiatus
precedes its next indoor meet
on Jan. 8. Both take place in

Chiefs defeat Redskins
for frst victory of season
LANDOVER, Md. In the
locker room, the quarterback
presented the game ball to the
rookie head coach, who was
still wet from the celebratory
sideline ice bath. The coach then
gave the ball to Mr. Irrelevant, a
player no longer worthy of his
nickname.
The Kansas City Chiefs are
winless no more. Neither is coach
Todd Haley, who earned victory
No. 1 with an assist from the
last player taken in this years
draft. Ryan Succop kicked four
feld goals in Sundays 14-6 win
over the Washington Redskins,
whose season is tanking toward
oblivion because of losses to
winless teams.
We made it pretty difcult,
right down to the end,Haley
said. Weve pushed through a
very difcult period. We needed
to get some positive reinforce-
ment with a win.
Succop, chosen No. 256 from
South Carolina, converted from
39, 46, 46 and 24 yards, and
Tamba Hali added a safety for
good measure, sacking Todd Col-

The Titans fumbled the ball six
times, losing three, and threw a

Mangino
Kansas coach Mark Mangino on the play of Colo-
rado quarterback Tyler Hansen, who made his frst
start of the season Saturday: The quarterback from
Colorado was the diference maker. Its unfortunate
that they picked this week to take his redshirt of.
3. Lubbock Smith: Smith was thrust into Kansas starting lineup
Saturday for his frst start of the season. At safety, Smith made eight
tackles and provided the Jayhawks with a solid tackler around the line
of scrimmage.
2. Darrell Stuckey: Stuckey fnished with 12 tackles the second
most stops for Kansas against Colorado. He also tacked on an intercep-
tion in the second quarter.
1. Dezmon Briscoe: In what is developing as his expected stat line,
Briscoe hauled in eight catches for 154 yards and a touchdown. And he
made huge plays down the stretch to even give Kansas a chance.
3. Daymond Patterson: After struggling against Iowa State last
week, Patterson was replaced early against Colorado by freshman
cornerback D.J. Beshears. Plus, Patterson lost seven yards when he
returned a punt backward before Kansas fnal drive.
2. Ofensive line: A week after turning in its best performance of the
season, the ofensive line turned in arguably its worst outing against
Colorado. The unit allowed fve sacks. Worse: Kansas couldnt fnd any
roomto run the ball.
1. Todd Reesing: Reesing led an impressive comeback in the second
half, but he made two costly errors in the frst half. His fumble and,
later, his interception twice gave Colorado the ball at Kansas three-yard
line. The Bufaloes scored touchdowns each time.
Facing a third and 29 at Kansas 46-yard line, Reesing scrambled,
pointed down the feld and unloaded a Doug Flutie-looking pass deep
down the sideline. With Colorado defenders dropping deep in cover-
age, Briscoe managed to separate himself before leaping to make a
41-yard catch.
ThE GLASS IS hALF FuLL
Kansas showed it wont simply roll over and die this season. The
Jayhawks were backed into a hole at halftime and still managed to
clawback to take the lead in the second half. Erasing what was once a
21-point defcit is never an easy order and Kansas must be praised for
that.

ThE GLASS IS hALF EmPTY
The Jayhawks sufered a loss in a game they should have won. With
the top teams in the Big 12 waiting on the schedule, Kansas certainly
couldnt aford to lose to a 1-4 Colorado team. The ofense severely
struggled for much of the game and Kansas rushing attack never was
a factor. The worst part: Colorado isnt the best defense Kansas will face
this season.
D-LINE DOING ITS JOB
Kansas defensive line managed two sacks and accounted for one
forced fumble. But the unit struggled to contain Hansens speed. The
Jayhawks also allowed the Bufaloes to move the ball with relative ease
on the ground.
BIGGEST ANSwER
Mangino wasnt blufng when he said that personnel changes could
be made along Kansas defense. That was certainly evident on Satur-
day. The Jayhawks featured two newplayers in the secondary, while
little-used reserves such as senior linebacker Angus Quigley and junior
defensive end Quintin Woods sawplaying time.
STILL QuESTIONING
What will become of this Kansas team? Its easy to point out faws
and negative trends after an upset loss. And surely the Jayhawks al-
lowed plenty of roomfor skepticism. But Mangino has proven in his
tenure that his teams usually have the ability to bounce back. Can this
years teamturn things around quickly?

LOOKING AhEAD
The schedule doesnt present the Jayhawks with any favors. Awaiting
Kansas are back-to-back games against Oklahoma at home andTexas
Tech on the road. The Jayhawks need to sort through their problems in
a hurry.
GOOD, BAD OR JuST PLAIN STuPID?
Original prediction: Kansas 31, Colorado 14. Actual score: Colorado
34, Kansas 30. OK, so anytime you predict the wrong result, thats never
a good thing. In fact, thats just plain stupid. Kansas dug too deep a
hole in the frst half.
FINAL ThOuGhT
Playing with a handful of newfaces, Kansas defense wasnt the rea-
son for this loss. Last week against Iowa State, Kansas defense played
extremely poorly. That wasnt the case this Saturday. The Jayhawks
werent great, but they allowed the ofense a chance to win this game.
Thats a small step of improvement.
BY CLARK GOBLE
cgoble@kansan.com
BOULDER, Colo. With the
34-30 final score lit up on a small
scoreboard above his head and the
Colorado marching band blaring
the fight song in the background,
coach Mark Mangino said he still
had faith in his defense despite
numerous switches in the lineup.
Only senior safety Darrell
Stuckey and junior cornerback
Chris Harris have remained con-
stants in a secondary that has been
shuffled throughout the season.
I think it worked out pretty
well, Mangino said about the
moves. Weve created competi-
tion at positions, and I think that
some of those kids are going to be
outstanding players for us.
A couple of those kids, fresh-
man safety Lubbock Smith and
freshman defensive tackle John
Williams, made their first colle-
giate start on Saturday. Cornerback
D.J. Beshears became the second
freshman to make an appearance
on defense this season when he
replaced sophomore cornerback
Daymond Patterson after the first
drive. Freshman Huldon Tharp
already plays regularly at line-
backer.
Senior linebacker Angus
Quigley, a former running back,
also saw extended time.
Mangino said the defense knew
for a couple of weeks that sig-
nificant changes were coming and
that the coaching staff had already
moved two players from offense
to defense.
Williams moved from offen-
sive tackle to defensive tackle.
Mangino also said freshman
Bradley McDougald moved from
wide receiver to the defensive side
of the ball, and McDougald saw
time on the field on offense and
defense against Colorado.
Stuckey and Harris both spoke
to their faith that the most capable
players are out on the field.
I have total confidence in
the adjustment of our coaches,
Stuckey said. I know that if they
put a player out there, the player
has a full ability to go out there
and execute every play each and
every way.
Harris said adding new parts to
the offense and using new players
on defense were completely differ-
ent ideas.
All we got to do is go out there
and do our own job, Harris said.
Its not really like the offense in
the way you got to gel together. Just
communicate with one another
and well be fine.
But the difference in the game
was probably Colorados ability to
convert two Todd Reesing turn-
overs into 14 points, and Kansas
inability to get touchdowns off
Colorados turnovers. Reesings
turnovers both came in Kansas
territory.
Stuckey said that even with
their backs against the wall, the
defense needed to play better.
No matter what happens, no
matter what yardage they are at, we
got to bear down and make them
kick a field goal instead of getting
a touchdown, Stuckey said.
But Stuckey said as long as the
rest of the defense prepared well,
he wouldnt have any problems
with further rearranging.
When it comes to player by
player, whoever is out there is
going to have my full confidence
in them because I know they went
through the whole week learning
everything just like I did, Stuckey
said.

Jake sharp stages return
to kansas' starting lineup
Kansas coach Mark Mangino spent
the last three weeks answering ques-
tions about when, exactly, senior
running back Jake Sharp would
return. That wont happen anymore.
In his frst game since sufering an
undisclosed injury in the week lead-
ing up to Kansas game against Duke
on Sept. 19, Sharp carried the ball 13
times for 29 yards. He averaged just
2.2 yards per carry and his longest
run was for fve yards.
Mangino said Colorados defensive
line and Kansas ofensive line
had a lot to do with those less-than-
impressive numbers.
I didnt think Jake had a lot of
running roomtoday, Mangino said.
I think their line stunts and things
gave us a lot of trouble. Jakes pretty
healthy, though, and thats a good
thing. But I dont think we gave him
an opportunity to run the ball very
well. Its not on Jake.
Colorados tough defense
puts pressure on Jayhawks
Senior quarterback Todd Reesing
was sacked fve times and Kansas
managed just eight total rushing
yards.
True, those statistics may refect
on the play of the ofensive line. But
Reesing said that Colorados defense
disrupted Kansas on ofense.
The Bufaloes consistently blitzed,
forcing Reesing to leave and pocket.
Sometimes they blitzed more
than we had to block, Reesing said.
Credit to thembecause when they
did that, they were playing man
coverage. And we had some trouble
early in the game playing against
man coverage.
versial offensive pass interference
call. Cutting in front of Meier,
Wilson appeared to free up his fel-
low receiver with a pick on a
Colorado defender.
Thats a routine play, coach
Mark Mangino said before trailing
off. No comment.
Reesing was a bit more direct.
Im still trying to figure out that
pass-interference call, he said. I
dont know what thats about.
Facing a team that entered
Saturday 1-4 including a 54-38
loss to Toledo earlier this season
Kansas allowed Colorado to hang
around early.
In front of a verbally raucous
crowd, Kansas slow start for the sec-
ond consecutive week only poured
fuel on the fire for the 50,000-plus
fans hoping to witness an upset.
Only the twist in this weeks game
was rather unexpected: Kansas
offense yes, the offense strug-
gled for much of the first half. The
defense, in turn, played solidly,
although the unit failed to dominate
at any point.
Kansas scored the games first
three points before Colorado rattled
off 24 points in the second quarter.
We dug a hole for ourselves,
Mangino said. We cant blame any-
body but ourselves.
After the game, still wearing his
uniform pants and tight-fit under-
shirt, Reesing heaped a portion of
the blame onto his own plate.
Twice in the first half, Reesing
turned the ball over (one fumble,
one interception), allowing the
Buffaloes to start drives at the
Jayhawks three-yard line each time.
It certainly didnt help a defense
playing by the bend-but-dont-
break theory.
I turned the ball over twice and
gave them 14 easy points, Reesing
said. We cant spot a team14 points
on the road.
Added Briscoe: The defense
came to play but the offense didnt.
The offense put the defense in a
tough position.
Yet in what many have come to
expect, Kansas rallied.
The Jayhawks actually grabbed a
30-27 lead early in the fourth quar-
ter on a touchdown
pass from Reesing to Briscoe, who
described the comeback attempt as
one of the gutsiest efforts of a team
Ive ever played on.
He also acknowledged that it was
the most disappointing loss that
hed been a part of in his three years
at Kansas.
Around here we have the
24-hour rule, Briscoe said. If we
win, we celebrate for 24 hours and
then we prepare for the next team.
Unfortunately we lost so we have
to treat it like a hangover: 24 hours
and let it go. We cant sit back and
be like, Oh, we lost to Colorado
because we have Oklahoma right in
front of us.
On a day when Big 12 North front
runners Missouri and Nebraska
were defeated with relative ease
by South opponents, Kansas could
have taken a small step forward in
the race to the Big 12 champion-
ship game.
Instead, the Jayhawks only mud-
died the outlook even more.
Kansas now begins the second
half of the season, and the sched-
ule does little to aid the Jayhawks
aspirations of capturing the Big 12
North crown. Kansas plays three
ranked opponents, while also still
facing its biggest competition in the
North with Nebraska and Missouri.
Every team in the North has a
loss at this point, Reesing said. No
reason to hang our head. Its a long
season.
Edited by Amanda Thompson
fourth down pass in the end zone.
Thus the pressure, once again, sat
squarely on the shoulders of the
Kansas defense. But, should the
defense step up and force a punt,
Reesing and Co. couldnt possibly
fail again. Right?
The defense did, of course,
force a punt. Granted, Colorado
notched several first downs before
that happened. But that, com-
bined with Daymond Pattersons
woefully inefficient punt return,
only presented obstacles for the
Jayhawk offense to overcome.
And overcome themthey
would. Reesing would find Meier
short, Briscoe long, and lead a
drive down the field. With one
final shot at the end zone, Reesing
would look to Briscoe one final
time. Briscoe, a physical presence
who seems never really to be
covered, would go up in traffic
however condensed and pull
down the ball. Reesing would do
that fist pump thing that he does.
Kansas would win, and the team
would be jubilant. Jayhawk nation
would celebrate, comfortable in
its collective knowledge that this
particular story would always
have a happy ending.
Unfortunately, reality has a way
of disallowing such narratives.
Kansas did work its way down
the field, far enough to muster
a couple of shots. Briscoe did
elevate above the defense and
get his fingers on the ball, but
thats where the story took a
twist. He couldnt come up with
what would have been a fantas-
tic, game-winning, catch. And
so there was no fist pump, no
Kansas victory. Jayhawk fans
didnt get their familiar ending.
Not in this game, at least. And
although optimistic perceptions
of Kansas offensive dominance
may have disappeared, they
shouldnt be replaced by overly
fatalistic ones. This particular
story may have come to an end,
but the season has not.

in a row. Kansas fell to 9-8, 2-6 in
conference play, while Texas stayed
undefeated at 13-0, 8-0 in confer-
ence play.
Kansas didnt always execute
well, which Texas took advantage
of, coach Ray Bechard said.
When you start to lack at any
phase execution wise, this team will
make you pay for it, he said.
Kansas didnt have a single player
with double-digit kills, but senior
middle blocker Brittany Williams
made nine kills and managed a .467
hitting percentage.
Across the net, possible national
player of the year Destinee Hooker
racked up 18 kills and a .429 hitting
average.
Hooker is probably the best player
that Kansas will see all year, junior
outside hitter Karina Garlington
said.
Kansas led Texas 10-9 in the first
set, but Texas scored seven of the
next eight to gain a commanding
lead. Kansas could never recover
and, with its eight errors, lost the
set 16-25.
Kansas again came out strong
again in the second set and took
an early 7-5 lead. Texas then scored
the next four in a row to retake the
lead. The Jayhawks didnt let the run
discourage them, and retook the
lead at 13-12. Texas fought back and
ultimately Kansas lost the set 22-25.
Kansas started off the third set
abysmally, letting Texas get out to a
1-7 lead. Things didnt get much bet-
ter as Texas showed its true power
with a .520 hitting percentage in the
third set, defeating Kansas 12-25,
the teams worst defeat in a set this
season.
Kansas broke its losing streak
after sweeping once ranked Kansas
State 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-22) in
Manhattan on Saturday.
The victory was Kansas first
since September and its first Big
12 Conference road victory of the
season.
Kansas improved to 10-8, 3-6 in
conference play, while Kansas State
dropped to 7-11, 1-7 in conference
play.
After being ranked early in the
season, Kansas State has been strug-
gling. Kansas State was on a seven-
game losing streak before defeat-
ing Oklahoma, the game before
Kansas.
The Jayhawks played well at the
end of tight sets, which is something
they have been trying to do all sea-
son, Bechard said. He said the team
played consistently and aggressivly
when it needed to.
I was pleased with the way were
consistent all the way through, and
at the end game we made some
aggressive plays, Bechard said.
Sophomore setter Nicole Tate
said the team was well prepared for
Kansas State.
The team just did phenom-
enal, Tate said. We did an amaz-
ing job passing, the hitters put the
balls away and we were just flat out
ready for them.
Kansas and Kansas State were
back and forth to start the first set,
but after being tied 9-9, Kansas
never trailed again and won the
set 25-21.
Kansas continued to play well
in the second set and never trailed
winning the set 25-21.
Kansas came out strong in the
third set and gained a 15-10 lead
over Kansas State, but Kansas State
then went on a run and to take a
lead at 20-22. Kansas then went on
to score the last five in a row to win
the set 25-22.
It was the first time Kansas
defeated Kansas State since 2006
and just the third victory against
Kansas State since 1995. The vic-
tory also gave Bechard his 900th
career victory.

TEXAS 16,
OKLAHOMA 13
Last years Red River Rivalry
lived up to its name as both teams
offenses marched up and down the
field. Texas marched more and won
45-35.
This year, Texas and Oklahoma
showcased their defenses.
A hard hit on Oklahoma quar-
terback Sam Bradford knocked the
Heisman Trophy winner out of the
game for good, and the Sooners
couldnt muster enough offense
behind backup Landry Jones.
With eight turnovers and 21 pen-
alties combined, it wasnt quite the
game many expected from the two
bitter rivals.
Texas defensive front won the bat-
tle with Oklahomas inexperienced
offensive line, holding the Sooners
to -16 rushing yards. Oklahoma is
the fifth team in college football
to finish with negative rushing
yardage this season.
Oklahomas defensive line
caused problems for Texas quarter-
back Colt McCoy in the first half,
but Texas offensive line recovered
in the second half to keep McCoy
upright.
TEXAS TECH 31,
NEBRASKA 10
Coming off a stellar fourth-quarter
effort on the road at Missouri, the
Cornhuskers hoped to stop Texas
Techs pass-heavy offense.
The Red Raiders were having
none of that.
Texas Tech quarterback Steven
Sheffield impressed once again,
throwing for 235 yards and a
touchdown.
The game turned on a mental
error by Nebraska running back
Niles Paul late in the first quarter.
Quarterback Zach Lee threw a
swing pass to Paul toward the side-
line that fell. However, because the
pass did not go forward, the ball
was live and Texas Techs Daniel
Howard scooped up the fumble
and rumbled 82 yards for a touch-
down.
The score put the Red Raiders
up two touchdowns and it was
never closer than that again.
Nebraska had 12 penalties for
75 yards compared to Texas Techs
four penalties for 39 yards.
IOWA STATE 24,
BAYLOR 10
The Cyclones converted 12 of
18 third down attempts and used
a relentless rushing attack to take
down the Golden Bears in Ames,
Iowa.
Iowa State scored 24 unan-
swered points and only gave up
a touchdown in the final minute
of the game.
Baylor quarterback Blake
Szymanski threw for 223 yards
with three interceptions.
The Cyclones probably could
have won by more points than
they did. Kicker Grant Mahoney
missed three field goals that
would have helped Iowa State pull
away even more.
OKLAHOMA STATE 33,
MISSOURI 17
Maybe the Cowboys dont need
wide receiver Dez Bryant that
much.
Sophomore Hubert Anyiam filled
in for Bryant who was ruled ineli-
gible. Anyiam caught 10 passes for
119 yards and the go-ahead touch-
down in Stillwater, Okla.
Oklahoma States defense
improved after halftime. The
Cowboys gave up 313 yards in the
first half but held Missouri to 80
yards in the second half. The Tigers
were shut out in a half for the first
time since losing to Kansas in 2005.
Starting running back Kendall
Hunter missed his fourth consecu-
tive game with a sprained ankle.
Missouri turned the ball over
four times while Oklahoma State
didnt have any turnovers.
KANSAS STATE 62,
TEXAS A&M 14
Two Saturdays ago, Kansas State
gave up 66 points and 739 yards to
Texas Tech.
This Saturday, it was the
Wildcats doing all the scoring.
Daniel Thomas rushed for four
touchdowns in the first half alone
as Kansas State pulled to a 38-0
halftime lead.
The Wildcat defense held strong
against a potent Aggie offense led
by quarterback Jerrod Johnson.
Texas A&M finished with 314
passing yards but most came after
the outcome was already decided.

Tough competition provid-
ed a challenge for the Kansas
swimming and diving team at
the Big 12 relays.
The team finished fourth after
it fought against perennially
ranked teams like Texas A&M
and Texas, as well as the illnesses
of several Jayhawk swimmers.
This forced younger swim-
mers to step up.
The influx of less experienced
swimmers was one of the reasons
the Jayhawks saw a noticeable
difference in their performance
from years past.
Normally were up there com-
peting really well with Missouri,
coach Clark Campbell said.
Kansas finished in a distant
fourth with 43 points while
Missouri captured third place
with 75 points. Texas A&M bare-
ly edged out Texas for first place
with 109 points. Iowa State and
Nebraska-Lincoln finished fifth
and sixth respectively.
We just have to be patient,
Campbell said. Its going to take
a few months for us to realize our
potential.
The highest any Kansas relay
team placed on the day was third.
That team consisted of senior
Erin Goetz, juniors Iuliia Kuzhil
and Joy Bunting and freshman
Brooke Brull. They competed
in the 200-yard medley relay.
They earned a time of 1:45.35,
but lost to relay teams from the
University of Texas and Texas
A&M.
Numerous Kansas relay teams
managed to fight their way to
fourth place finishes.
Among these were the 3x100
yard breaststroke relay team, the
100-yard medley relay team, the
200-yard freestyle relay team, the
400-yard medley relay team, the
3 by 50 yard backstroke relay
team and the 100-yard freestyle
relay team.
Several individuals within the
relays performed well for Kansas.
Kuzhil provided several domi-
nating backstroke performances,
earning Kansas an early lead in
her backstroke leg of the medley
relays. Goetz also had several
solid performances on the day.
Erin had an awesome meet,
Campbell said. She really
stepped up and swam some great
races.
Though some swimmers
did perform well, the team as
a whole struggled to finish its
races strong.
Time splits for many of the
Kansas swimmers were about
four seconds slower at the end
of their relay leg than at the
beginning.
We need to work on bringing
races home, Campbell said.
The team will work to make
this correction as they enter a
new stage of their training this
week.
This stage focuses on building
strength and endurance in the
water, which will aid the swim-
mers in maintaining their pace
throughout the course of their
races.
In its next meet, Kansas faces
tough duels against two of last
years Top 25 teams, Florida and
Arkansas.
We have a really intense
schedule, especially at the begin-
ning of the season, senior team
captain Carrah Haley said.

An unpredictable Big 12 soccer
season continued this weekend for
the Jayhawks. On its last regular
season road trip, Kansas defeated
Oklahoma 2-1, but couldnt over-
come Baylor in a long, disappoint-
ing match that took two overtime
periods to settle.
Fridays game against Oklahoma
began well for Kansas, as it tallied
the first four shots of the game
and outshot the Sooners 8-4 in the
first half.
But Oklahoma still managed to
score first when senior Whitney
Palmer capitalized on a mishan-
dled ball from the Kansas defense
and scored on a 17-yard blast in
the 37th minute. The goal was
Palmers 15th of the season, the
second-most in the Big 12.
The lead was short-lived, how-
ever, as Kansas answered two
minutes later when two Kansas
freshmen leveled the game at 1-1.
Whitney Berry scored left-footed
off Shelby Williamsons cross to
tally her fifth goal of the season.
Kansas dominated the second
half as well with 10 shots on goal,
and it paid off in the 73rd minute,
when sophomore Emily Cressy
collected a well-placed pass from
Williamson and scored on the
near side of the goal. Cressys goal
put her at seven on the season,
which leads the team. The goal
also proved to be the game-win-
ner, as Kansas held off Oklahoma
for the rest of the match.
It was Kansas first conference
victory on the road, and it gave
the team a huge boost, coach Mark
Francis said.
Of all the games weve played
this year, this was probably our
biggest, he said.
The Jayhawks success hit a wall
Sunday against Baylor. Kansas
dug itself a hole early by scoring
on themselves then managed to
tie it up in the second half and
force overtime. But Baylor fresh-
man Lisa Swilinski gave Baylor the
overtime goal and the victory with
a 20-yard free kick that struck the
crossbar and went in.
The Bears applied plenty of
pressure on the Jayhawks in the
first half with seven shots to the
Jayhawks five. It paid off in the
19th minute when a ball in the
Kansas penalty area deflected off
of a Kansas defender and into its
own net to give Baylor a 1-0 lead.
The first 20 minutes we came
out a little bit slow, Francis said.
Theyre a very aggressive team
with a lot of hustle and we didnt
really match that.
The momentum swung in favor
of Kansas in the second half when
senior Lauren Jackson crossed a
ball to Cressy, who placed a shot
between the Baylor goalkeepers
legs for her eighth goal of the
season.
The Jayhawks continued to
create quality opportunities in
the second half, with two head-
ers barely stopped by the Baylor
goalkeeper and one shot off the
crossbar.
I felt like in the second half, it
was just a matter of time before we
scored, Francis said.
But the Jayhawks couldnt capi-
talize on any of their chances,
so the game continued to over-
time, where Baylor stunned the
Jayhawks with a game-ending goal
two minutes into the second over-
time period.
Today was disappoint-
ing because of the way we lost,
Francis said. I felt we deserved a
little more out of it, but were play-
ing well.
It was the first time Kansas had
lost to Baylor since 2002, and put
Kansas at ninth place in the Big
12 with three games left to play.
But the remaining games against
Nebraska, Iowa State and Missouri
are all at home, and Francis said
he was still confident in the teams
odds for a postseason berth.
Kansas sits just three points back
from eighth-placed Texas Tech but
will need all the victories it can
get in a tight Big 12 race with six
teams within four points of each
other.

Both the mens and the wom-
ens cross-country teams finished
in the top half of the field this
week at the ISU Pre-Nationals
Invitational.
At the invitational, the competi-
tors are split into three different
races each with equally tough
competition.
We had in our race Northern
Arizona and Oregon, the top two
teams, said senior Bret Imgrund.
The womens team finished 18th
out of 37 teams, which featured
four of the nations top womens
teams.
Pre-nats has all the best teams
in the country in it, minus one or
two maybe, sophomore Rebeka
Stowe said. This was a really big
meet to just kind of see where we
line up with those other teams
around the country.
Finishing first for Kansas was
senior Lauren Bonds, placing 17th
out of 247 individuals with a time
of 21:03.70.
Junior Amanda Miller and
Stowe finished in second and third
for Kansas with times of 21:49.60
and 21:51.70.
This was a career best for Stowe,
cutting one minute off her time
on this course when she ran it
last year.
Stowe said one of her goals
for the season was to finish with
Miller.
Ive just been working like all of
our practices trying to stay as close
to Kara and Amanda as I could,
she said of teammates Miller and
sophomore Kara Windisch. Ive
done a better job at that, falling off
of them as much at practices, and I
think that helped mentally.
Senior Kellie Schneider finished
in the top four for Kansas for the
first time this season with a time
of 22:22.00, a personal record.
Finishing fifth for Kansas in
164th place overall was Windisch at
22:48.20. Freshmen Tessa Turcotte
and Kathleen Thompson finished
fifth and sixth for Kansas, with
times of 23:17.60 and 23:40.30.
The mens team finished 17th
out of 34 teams.
Each runner finished at least
thirty seconds faster than his time
from last year many of them
finishing one minute faster.
We had another year of train-
ing and we had a better idea of
how to compete and how the race
was going to go out, Imgrund
said.
Sophomore Donny Wasinger
and Imgrund finished first and
second for Kansas in 42nd and
59th place with times of 24:38.10
and 24:46.60. Both runners ran
career-best times.
The conditions were much
sloppier than they were last year
and we were happy to have Donny
and I under 25, Imgrund said.
Coming in third for Kansas was
sophomore Kaleb Humphreys.
Kaleb has slowly been finishing
higher up in the Kansas team
finishing fifth, tenth and fourth
for Kansas in the previous meets.
Sophomore Austin Bussing and
junior Nick Caprario finished next
for Kansas with times of 25:06:10
and 25:31:90 in 123rd and 128th
place overall.
Finishing up for the men were
junior Dan Van Orsdel and sopho-
more Josh Baden.
