Getting dirty and going green

Student-run sustainable farm teaches about land, food and environmental appreciation
mlowry@kansan.com Lawrence may be a college town with a culinary culture dominated by fast food, but the KU Student Farm offers a fresh food alternative. The Student Farm, located in North Lawrence, offers more than 30 plots of land for students and faculty to grow their own food, along with an opportunity to learn from local farmers. In a college town, you really dont have the space to garden, Kim Scherman, a junior from Eudora, said. Its really rewarding to be able to grow your food yourself. The KU Student Farm began as an environmental studies class project last spring by Jason Hering, a senior from Hutchinson. Hering later collaberated with professor Kelly Kindscher to put the plans to action. We created the farm with the idea in mind that it would expand into something more, Hering said. The idea was to have a student-run, student-operated farm. Hering, who studied abroad in India last summer, said that experience gave him some valuable insight. There are certain specific sustainable farming practices, Hering said. There are ways of doing things by hand, and without heavy machinery. Hering said the majority of the work is based on preparing the grounds for cold weather. Workers at the farm do this by planting winter rye seeds and enriching the soil with nitrogen to prepare for new

crops. We are really hoping to reach a lot of people who might be interested in starting a plot next semester, Hering said. There arent any classes organized by KU at this point, but local farmers will be out to our meetings to teach people what tools to use, what seeds to use and anything else they may need to know. Hering envisions the farm turning into an entrepreneurial opportunity. In the future, there will likely be a plot where the KU Student Farm Group will grow crops to sell to students, the farmers market or to the KU Dining Services, Hering said. Scherman is the Local Foods Coordinator for Environs, a student organization that advocates environmentally sound policies. Scherman said she is drawn mostly to the quality of the farm-produced food. A year ago, I really wasnt aware, Scherman said. I saw food in the grocery store and just thought that was where it came from. I started looking into food and what goes into it and it just started raising a lot of questions. Scherman explained that although a product may be labeled organic, the standards for labeling it as

Towing tie-ups confuse students

BY CARLO RAMIREZ
cramirez@Kansan.com When Jeff Jacob, owner of Bull Dog Towing in Lawrence, started his business seven years ago, there were a total of four towing companies in Lawrence. Today there are 11 companies Jacob is competing with. No regulation for police department rotation, Jacob said. All you have to have is a truck and a place to park the cars. The increasing number of towing companies in the area has led to an increase in surveillance of private lots. This means an increase in towed cars and a dog-eat-dog mentality among competing companies. Towing companies either monitor lots every few hours or wait for owners of apartment complexes to call and request them to tow from a certain lot. To make matters even trickier, the double-digit number of tow companies causes confusion for those who have their cars towed about which company to contact. Since the majority of tow signs in lots do not say what number to call or which company has what car, many are left confused and angry. There are no signs that say what tow company to call or anything like that, said Tim Cooper, a senior from Des Moines, Iowa. You have to come up with, in my case, 180 dollars cash in 24 hours and each day that price goes up. Thats 180 dollars wasted. Each towing company charges a little bit differently, but the average payment to get a car back is anywhere between $150 to $200 dollars. From the time a car is towed the owner has 24 hours to come up with the money in cash. Any additional time is considered storage and each company charges an extra $35 to $40 dollars a day. The majority of towing companies in Lawrence must notify the police department that they will be towing from a specific parking lot. Since the majority of lots do not have a number to call when they tow a car, the best bet is to call 785-832-7509, the police dispatch number. Just inform them that your car has been towed, which lot it was towed from and your license plate number. The police will give you the phone number for the company that towed your car and you should call immediately to find out where their lot is. Edited by Emily McCoy

Board of Regents propose $10 million in financial aid

BY STEPHEN GRAY
sgray@kansan.com The Board of Regents recommended a much-needed $10 million financial aid program last week to be forwarded to the 2011 Legislature. The program, which is designed to help low- and middle-income Kansas students, would be partially funded by recouping $6 million in sales taxes collected on university campuses that would have been forwarded to the state treasury. The remaining $4 million would be sponsored by each state university and their athletics department. Kip Peterson, director of government relations and communications for the Regents, said the plan was designed to offset rising tuition fees in the state. There is a need here to lend a hand to Kansas students, Peterson said. During the past 25 years, state university tuition and fee rates have risen steadily to balance state funding reductions. The University of Kansas has seen a 200 percent tuition increase since the 2001 fiscal year. At the same time, the states need-based financial aid program has seen only slight increases, and it has been cut by 5 percent the past two years. In addition, the state of Kansas ranks 36th in the nation and last among Big 12 states in per capita state need-based financial aid contributions per student. Gary Sherrer, regents chair, said all of these factors went into the Boards decision to recommend a new financial aid program. It became clear that we ought to be doing something, he said. Melinda Robinson, a senior from Hutchinson, is one student in favor of the proposed plan. Any tax going back into education is worth it, Robinson said. As tuition fees rise, student debt also continues to increase, creating an even bleaker situation at universities. In 2008, 62 percent of graduates from public universities had student loans and the average student debt was $20,200 20 percent higher than in 2004, according to the Kansas Board of Regents website. Peterson said the new plan would provide loans to students whose families are at or below the statewide median family income, which is currently $50,174 per year. Students who live and work in Kansas for a certain amount of time after graduation would then be eligible for complete loan forgiveness. The effect would be to grow the workforce and improve the states economy, Peterson said. Further details regarding loan amounts and eligibility will be determined in the coming months before the legislature convenes in January. Sherrer sees the proposal as long overdue and only the start in making education affordable in Kansas. The whole concept of a public university is that all of our students have a chance to better their lives through education, Sherrer said. If people are capable of going to a university, the state should make sure they get that opportunity without building huge amounts of debt. Edited by Joel Petterson

Ex-hostage sued by lover

ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOGOTA, Colombia The estranged second husband of Ingrid Betancourt has filed court papers seeking half her fortune just as the worlds most celebrated ex-hostage launches a memoir about her six years in jungle captivity The lawyer for Juan Carlos Lecompte told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he filed a motion a day earlier in Bogota family court seeking to freeze all of Betancourts assets in Colombia and abroad. Lawyer Heli Abel Torrado said the assets include an apartment in Paris, a home in Wyoming and royalties from her memoir. The book, titled Even Silence Has An End, went on sale internationally Tuesday. Betancourts lawyer could not immediately be reached for comment. Lecompte said Betancourt, 48, filed for divorce several months after the Colombian government rescued her in July 2008. Her memoir has already raised the ire of one of her former fellow captives, Clara Rojas, who decried as infamy Betancourts suggestion in it that Rojas asked their leftist rebel captives for permission to get pregnant. Betancourt, a dual FrenchColombian national, was kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, in February 2002 while campaigning for president. Betancourt has two grown children from her first marriage and now divides her time between Paris and New York. She alienated many Colombians in July when they learned she had decided to seek more than $6 million in damages from the state. Betancourt later withdrew the petition for damages. Some prominent Colombians accused her of being reckless by heading into the conflict zone where she was kidnapped. Betancourt contends the government bears responsibility for stripping her of armed protection. Betancourt appears to harbor lingering resentments. In an interview with the Bogota newspaper El Espectador on Sunday, she called Colombian society cruel.

He said a reasonable amount of candidates have applied, but he could not disclose any of their names. I cant comment on candidates, which is Im sure what most people are interested in,

drahozal said. everything regarding the candidates is confidential until 48 hours before an on-campus interview. At the end of the semester, drahozal said he hoped the committee will be finished with their part in the screening process. Law faculty member stephen mcAllister, who served as dean from 2000 to 2005, said the position of dean required the right kind of person to do it and do it well. It is very high energy and demanding, mcAllister said. but can be a lot of fun.

Russia, NATO aim for cooperation

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK A planned summit between NATO leaders and Russias President Dmitry Medvedev will significantly boost cooperation on the Afghan war, missile defense and fighting drug trafficking and piracy, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday. U.S. NATO Ambassador Ivo Daalder said that Wednesdays foreign ministers session with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov will lay the groundwork for the November summit of the 28 NATO members and Russia in Lisbon, Portugal. Medvedev was invited earlier this month. I hope what we get out of this is that everyone will leave with an understanding that there is a good basis for trying to achieve some significant breakthroughs by the time we are able to get together at the leaders level in November, Daalder told journalists. Ties between the alliance and Russia hit a post-Cold War low after the Russo-Georgian war two years ago, when the alliance under pressure from the Bush administration froze relations with Moscow. But since President Barack Obama announced a reset of U.S. ties, there has been a shift toward closer cooperation. In April, Obama and Medvedev signed a new nuclear arms reduction treaty, and in June Russia agreed to support U.N. sanctions against Iran because of its nuclear program. NATO quickly followed suit with an exchange of visits and meetings by senior officials and top generals. Russia, which wants to quash Islamic militancy and drug trafficking in its neighborhood, has opened a land route to resupply the 140,000-strong NATO force in Afghanistan. The main supply route through Pakistan has come under repeated attack by Taliban guerrillas. Moscow is also training hundreds of Afghan and Central Asian drug agents. it is currently considering a NATO request to equip the nascent Afghan air force with transport and gunship helicopters, and to train their pilots and mechanics. Russia has no interest in seeing us fail in Afghanistan, it has every interest that Afghanistan is not a source of instability, Daalder said. In that sense we are working together in seeing how we can transform those shared interests into (more cooperation). Daalder said he expected that NATO nations will decide on whether to proceed with a proposed anti-missile shield.

Director dares audience not to panic with Buried

Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES Sometimes its necessary to think inside the box. That was the strident belief of Rodrigo Cortes, the Spanish director behind Buried, the most deliriously claustrophobic film imaginable the entire movie is set inside a wooden coffin beneath the sands of the Iraq desert, and the only person ever shown on screen is Ryan Reynolds as Paul Conroy, the desperate man trapped inside that casket. The unsettling film, which opens Sept. 24 in limited release and then goes wide Oct. 8, uses an intricate system of sliding panels that allowed Cortes and cinematographer Eduard Grau a wide array of unexpected vantage points and dynamic storytelling opportunities. Conroys cellphone connects him to the world above and to the unfolding mystery of his predicament while his Zippo lighters flickering flame illuminates his face and his fear. Still, the film is essentially 94 tense minutes spent inside a box, and Cortes concedes there were plenty of skeptics as the project got under way. From the very beginning, I received every kind of, um, lets call them kind suggestions to The biggest challenge the film take the camera beyond the coffin, Cortes said.

High school journalism in Facts on organic can be elusive, but are helpful Kansas still retains value
he staff of The University Daily Kansan was saddened to learn that a coming change will deal a devastating blow to high school journalism in Kansas. Soon, funding for high school journalism courses in Kansas are likely to disappear as journalism is moved into the same funding category as other type of elective or career-based classes, such as the arts and business, according to the Associated Press. Journalism continues to play a vital role in a healthy republic, whether it comes from The Washington Post or The Huffington Post. High school journalism is important in fostering an appreciation for the profession. Many high school journalists may never step foot inside a newsroom after their senior year,

ediTOriAL BOArd

but the skills learned and the values absorbed help them to be better citizens throughout life. For those who do pursue a career in journalism, high school is often the place a passion for the craft is first ignited. Yes, the profession is changing in numerous ways and the future is uncertain. Theres no guarantee that we will end up finding employment in our chosen field. But for many of us who were once high school journalists, without those first experiences, we may never had even had the chance to pursue this field. The new funding requirements will also put Kansas students in journalism at a competitive disadvantage against other states with stronger support for journalism education. Ultimately, though, changes in the quality of high school

journalism education in Kansas will affect students at the University. As students come to the journalism school and various campus media with less and less prior experience, the quality of campus media will suffer. And thats something nobody wants. Jonathan Shorman for The Kansan Editorial Board

Young adults confront many experiences new to them in college, and it is no secret that the casual college hook-up is a popular social subject. Unfortunately, recent trends have shown that young people are becoming increasingly risky in their sexual behaviors, and the statistical evidence of current STD rates are less than promising for our generation. The numbers are frightening and paint a disturbing picture of how careless our young adult demo- graphic has become when it comes to protecting themselves sexually. According to a graph compiled by various state health departments on the disease prevention website avert.org, the number of cases of chlamydia went from a little over 500,000 confirmed cases in 1997 to over 120 million in 2008, and the rate is steadily increasing. One of the biggest problems with this disease is that many people dont know they are infected for a long time because symptoms do not always appear right away. The more socially acceptable casual, unprotected sex becomes, the bigger the chances of contracting a sexually transmitted disease. It also does not help that many college kids admit to not using condoms 100 percent of the time when hooking up with some- one, especially if there was alcohol involved. A 2009 article published by the National Institutes of Health concluded that 65 percent of students surveyed admitted to not always using a

rganic has become a buzzword among those who are concerned about their health. But what does organic mean? What are the benefits of organic food versus conventional food? Why should students consider paying more for organic foods? This conversation has been debated heavily, but there are facts among the rhetoric that provide answers to these elusive questions. Organic food in the U.S. goes through strict regulations, according to Urvashi Rangan, who is director of technical policy for the Consumers Union. Rangan took part in a debate held on Intelligence Squared, a program broadcasted by NPR. Rangan asserts that there are five main ways organic food benefits consumers: Organic animals dont eat excrement, antibiotics are not allowed, organic animals are not fed toxic heavy metals (such as arsenic), synthetic pesticides are not used, and synthetic fertilizers are not allowed (i.e. human waste). Believe it or not, the abovementioned regulations actually are allowed to take place in conventional agriculture. Rangan states, We feed antibiotics to animals every single day. We wouldnt do that with humans. We wouldnt feed humans antibiotics every day. Why do we do it in conventional agriculture? The daily use of antibiotics is irresponsible considering the on-going battle against antibiotic resistant bacteria (such as MRSA) that, according to the CDC killed 18,650 people in 2005. The CDC found that more people die of MRSA annually than of AIDS. (Only 16,000 people died of AIDS in the U.S. in 2005). One of the main arguments against organic products is the increased price. Organic food is, on average, $1.60 for every $1.00 of a similar conventional product, according to John Krebs, who is chairman of Britains Food Standards Agency, who was also one of the experts debating on Intelligence Squared. So why do organic foods cost more? Rangan explains

The Conscientious Consumer

that organic food is laborious to produce; instead of using chemicals to kill weeds, they must be physically pulled. Another reason for the increased cost is because conventional crops, such as soy and corn, are subsidized by taxpayer money and organic products have yet to receive such subsidies. While opponents to organic products claim that there are no significant health benefits, and that the chemicals used on conventional products do not pose health risks, there is reason to believe that this is simply not true. Charles Benbrook, chief scientist at the Organic Center, also participated in Intelligence Squared. Benbrook links the use of certain pesticides to birth defects afflicting one in eight babies, as well as the 25 percent of Americans who are having difficulty conceiving. He acknowledges that there are pesticides available that are fairly safe, including one called Glyfosate. But can a consumer really tell which products have residue from a safe pesticide versus that of an unsafe pesticide? For students paying that additional 60 cents can sometimes be tough, considering that can almost buy a burrito at Taco Bell, but it is a wise decision to make, if possible. Organic products are heavily regulated, and are much more transparent than conventional products, allowing consumers to make an educated decision on the food they eat. Gross is a sophomore from Lindsborg in journalism and international studies.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com

Using these stereotypes, including the sexualization of the gay community, paralyzes social justice and progress. The sexualization of the gay community? How else can you define the nature of the gay community? It is an identity entirely based on its members sexual preferences! Clearly the Queers and their allies have pretty thin skin to let some poorly crafted cartoon on the back page of a college newspaper get them worked up. But, they had to speak up, you know? I mean, that cartoon single-handedly paralyzed social justice and progress! Thatcher in response to Comic perpetuates stereotypes on Sept. 20. Im glad you encourage girls to go out and have more sex.

Salary scandal hits L.A. suburb

ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Both the mayor and the ex-city manager of the Los Angeles suburb of Bell were among eight city officials arrested Tuesday in a corruption scandal that authorities said cost the blue-collar city more than $5.5 million in excessive salaries and illegal personal loans. The district attorneys office said several former and current City Council members were taken into custody along with ex-city manager Robert Rizzo and Mayor Oscar Hernandez. This, needless to say, is corruption on steroids, District Attorney Steve Cooley said at a news conference, standing next to pictures of the suspects. Rizzo, who was making nearly $800,000 a year, was booked on 53 counts of misappropriation of public funds and conflict of interest. Others taken into custody were former assistant city manager Angela Spaccia, Vice Mayor Teresa Jacobo, council members George Mirabal and Luis Artiga, and former council members George Cole and Victor Bello. Former Police Chief Randy Adams, who was also scrutinized in the salary scandal, was not arrested. Adams was paid $457,000 a year but there was no evidence he obtained that salary illegally. Being paid excessive salaries is not a crime, Cooley said. Illegally obtaining those salaries is a crime. Prosecutors allege the suspects misappropriated more than $5.5 million. Cooley said his office had been investigating the officials since March four months before the public learned they were paying themselves huge salaries to run the city of 40,000 people.

such may not be the same standards consumers have. I take local food to the Environs meeting every week, Scherman said. When you compare the ingredients and see all of the fillers that non-local food contains people just dont want to know. Scherman said that is why the student farm is about more than the process of sowing and growing. It should be fun to grow your own food, but there really should be a purpose, Scherman said. We want to show people what might be going on in the food industry that really isnt too comforting. Many plots for the student farm are still available and meetings take place every other week. You can be from all different backgrounds and majors to do this, Scherman said. You dont have to know about gardening, you just have to be interested and we are here to teach you.

Suspects guilty plea is another step to closure

ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEWARK, N.J. A suspect in the execution-style killings of three college students in a New Jersey schoolyard in 2007 pleaded guilty Tuesday, days before his trial was set to begin. Melvin Jovel, 21, pleaded guilty to three counts of murder, one count of attempted murder and weapons charges in the Newark attacks. Prosecutors said Jovel and five other young men lined up Iofemi Hightower and Dashon Harvey, both 20, and 18-year-old Terrance Aeriel, against a schoolyard wall and shot each of them in the back of the head. A fourth victim, who survived, testified at the first trial in the case that she was sexually assaulted, slashed with a machete and shot in the head. She is not being identified by The Associated Press because of the sexual assault charge. With this guilty plea today, the victim and the surviving family members are spared one trial and Mr. Jovel will spend the rest of his life behind bars, said Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Thomas McTigue. We can now move on with the prosecution of the remaining cases. The other four defendants are in jail awaiting trial. Jovel faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced on Nov. 4. His lawyer, Joseph Krakora of the New Jersey Office of the Public Defender, declined to comment on the plea. Prosecutors have portrayed the killings as an initiation ritual for members of the Central American gang MS-13. They say Jovel and at least two of the other suspects had lived in an apartment complex in Newarks Ivy Hill section across the street from the scene of the murders. Prosecutors say the four victims, who attended or planned to attend and shot. The survivor said she Delaware State University, were saw Jovels picture on TV while she hanging out listening to music in was recovering in the hospital and the schoolyard remembered him as the behind the person who Mount Vernon We can now move on shot her as he school on the ran away from night of Aug. 4, with the prosecution of the scene. 2007, when they the remaining cases.

The killings also prompted state officials to give police the authority to refer violent crime suspects names to immigration authorities if they are suspected of being in the country illegally, a response to the fact that one of the suspects was free on bail for other crimes despite being an illegal immigrant. Several of the suspects are Latin American immigrants of differing immigration status. Prosecutors said Tuesday that it wasnt clear whether Jovel, who was from Honduras, is in the United States legally or illegally. Earlier this year, a jury convicted Rodolfo Godinez, a legal immigrant from Nicaragua, and sentenced him to three consecutive life sentences for the killings. Godinez was not tied to the gun or machete used in the attacks but was convicted under New Jerseys accomplice liability law. His lawyer plans to appeal.

Orioles ride late-inning rally past reeling Red Sox

ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON Ty Wigginton hit a tie-breaking three-run homer in the seventh and Brad Bergesen pitched six strong innings to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 9-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. Wigginton drove his 21st homer of the season just inside the right field foul pole off Scott Atchison, who came in after Clay Buchholz allowed one unearned run and four hits in six innings. Bergesen (8-10) gave up one run and five hits as he allowed three runs or fewer for the ninth time in his last 10 starts. Buchholz lowered his ERA from 2.48 to 2.39, second in the AL to Seattles Felix Hernandez at 2.35. Atchison (2-3) allowed three hits and retired just one batter. Wiggintons homer made it 4-1, and the Orioles added a run in the eighth on Robert Andinos sacrifice fly and four in the ninth off Jonathan Papelbon. Boston took a 1-0 lead in the second on Daniel Navas RBI single. Baltimore tied it in the sixth when Adam Jones, who had singled, scored from first with two outs on an error by second baseman Marco Scutaro when a very high popup by Felix Pie ticked off his glove and fell behind him. The Red Sox had a chance to go ahead in the bottom of the sixth when Jed Lowrie walked with two outs and Ryan Kalish hit a drive to deep right-center. But the ball bounced into the stands for a grounds-rule double, forcing Lowrie to stop at third. Nava then took a called third strike. Cesar Izturis led off the top of the seventh with a single and was forced at second on a grounder by Brian Roberts. Nick Markakis singled and Wigginton hit Atchisons first pitch to him for a homer. The Red Sox threatened in the seventh with two outs and runners at first and third, but David Ortiz struck out for the 54th time in 170 at-bats against lefties when he looked at a third strike from Michael Gonzalez. Bergesen allowed one hit in his last three innings, Kalishs double in the sixth. In his last start on Sept. 15, a 3-1 win over Toronto, he pitched his third career complete game. His ERA over his last 10 starts is 2.31. Buchholz struck out five and gave up four hits and three walks but allowed runners in each of his innings. In three of them, he again showed his knack for working out of trouble by stranding runners at third base. Opponents are hitting .168 with runners in scoring position against him, the lowest average in the AL.

Royals top Tigers in Detroit

ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT Mike Aviles drove in three runs, rookie Jerrod Dyson scored three times and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 9-6 on Tuesday night. The Royals were aided by three errors by Detroit pitchers one by starter Armando Galarraga and two by reliever Alfredo Figaro. Bruce Chen (11-7) improved to 3-0 in his last five starts, allowing three runs, four hits and a walk in six innings. Detroit took the lead on Austin Jacksons third-inning sacrifice fly, then added two solo homers in the fourth. Ryan Raburn led off the inning with his 14th of the season, and Miguel Cabrera followed with his 35th, a 427-foot liner that cleared the first level of shrubs above the center field fence. The Royals rallied in the fifth to take the lead. Galarraga retired the first two batters, but Dyson singled, stole second, took third on a passed ball and scored on Aviles single. Butler followed with his third single of the game, and Wilson Betemit walked to load the bases. Kila Kaaihue walked to drive in a run and Yuniesky Betancourt hit an infield single that Galarraga threw away, allowing a second run to score. Butler made it 5-3 with a sixthinning sacrifice fly, and the Royals put the game away in the eighth. Lucas May started the inning with a single, and Dyson laid down a bunt. Figaro misplayed the ball for an error, then threw it away for his second error on the play. Aviles followed with a two-run single to give the Royals a four-run lead. Kansas City added two runs in the ninth on RBIs by May and Dyson.

Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb fires the ball to a receiver Friday. Webbs only turnover this season was a deflection off a wide receiver.

Webb (continued from 10a)

Ive been around a situation with having a freshman quarterback and a freshman running back and not turning the ball over, Long said. We went through a game with no turnovers and one penalty on offense, and that speaks well of their discipline and their protecting the football. After fall camp, coach Turner Gill attributed Picks superior athleticism and ball protection skills as the reason why the sophomore was named starter. While the offense has struggled at times, but one of their biggest concerns before making the switch to Webb has, for now, been squashed. Nobody hits the quarterback in fall camp, so we really didnt see him fumbling or anything, but Jordan was never really given that position of leadership, said senior offensive lineman Brad Thorson. Hes shown it when hes in at quarterback, but when you become the guy, hes matured really quickly. He holds himself much better than youd expect a freshman to. That developing confidence in Webb may lead to an opening up of the playbook, but that move is still some time away as the Kansas coaching staff concerns themselves with just staying in games. Were want to work our game plan, but were also working a game plan that is conducive to what he can do best at this point time, Long said. Are we at the expanding stage with him? No, were just not there yet. So weve really cut back to make sure hes productive at that position and not getting us beat. Edited by Joel Petterson

Big 12 Rookie of the Week leads Jayhawks

Kansas will travel to Nebraska to face the No. 4 Cornhuskers
By IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@ku.edu The volleyball team will take the Big 12 conferences latest rookie of the week on the road Wednesday in a match against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb. The league named freshman libero Brianne Riley the rookie of the week in an announcement on Monday, after Rileys outstanding performance in Kansas victory past the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday. Riley said she was more honored than excited. I couldnt have done it without everyone else on my team, she said. It was a lot of hard work and extra hours in the gym and stuff, and we still have a long way to go, but Im excited. Riley led the team with 15 digs, had 34 successful service receptions, and tossed in a kill for good measure. The win coach Ray Bechards 200th with Kansas stopped a four-match winning streak for the Aggies and improved Kansas conference record to 1-1. In the previous game, the Jayhawks conference opener against Kansas State, Riley led Kansas with 18 blocker Brooke Delano leads the digs and contributed a season- Big 12 with a hitting percentage high six assists. of .415 and 1.48 blocks per set.

League to cut down to 10 in June 2011

tdwyer@kansan.com twitter.com/Udkbasketball The Universities of Nebraska and Colorado have reached separate agreements with the Big 12 that will have the schools leave the conference, effective June 30, 2011. They will be inducted as members of their respective new conferences the next day. Colorado will join the Pac-10 which will be renamed the Pac-12 and Nebraska will join the Big Ten. Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe said Tuesday night that hes been looking for a late September conclusion to the talks since they started. Its difficult to resolve when you have such disparity in your viewpoints, Beebe said. The agreement said that the conference will withhold $9.255 million of the estimated $19 million that Nebraska earned as part of its last two years in the Big 12. If the Huskers are one of two Big 12 teams to make a BCS bowl, another $500,000 will be granted to Nebraska. Originally, the Big 12 planned to hold $19.37 million. The two institutions didnt think there was any damage to the conference, Beebe said. We thought there was significant damage. For Colorado, the Big 12 will withhold $6.863 million. Beebe explained the disparity in his Tuesday night teleconference. Its based upon the projections over two years of what each program has earned, Beebe said. The Big 12 has yet to disclose how exactly the withheld funds will be disbursed among the remaining schools. Beebe said that decision will be made when the board meets in November. Beebe said the money would be distributed according to conference bylaws. Nebraska athletics director Tom Osborne expressed his enthusiasm that the deal got done. We feel the long-term benefits of entering into the Big Ten, both academically and athletically, will make this a very good investment, Osborne said in a statement. Colorado Chancellor Phil DiStefano said they still have kept strong ties to the Big 12, despite leaving it. Even as we leave for an exciting future in the Pac-10 Conference, we value the great friendships and memorable rivalries we have been a part of, and we appreciate the good faith Commissioner Dan Beebe has shown in working with us on our exit from the conference, DiStefano said. The departure of both schools from the Big 12 will avert a potential scheduling problem had Colorado stayed and Nebraska left, as was rumored to be likely. With only 10 teams in the conference, the schools will play a roundrobin schedule in football, with each team playing every other team once, and a double round-robin in basketball.

Freshman defensive specialist Brianne Riley bumps a served ball during a match against Texas A&M last week. Riley was named Big 12 freshman of the week by the conference this week.

Halladay is first 20-game Five-run first carries winner, Phillies top Braves Yanks past the Rays
Halladay became the first Phillies pitcher in 28 years to get 20 wins
PHILADELPHIA Roy Halladay became Philadelphias first 20-game winner in 28 years, Jayson Werth hit a three-run homer and the Phillies increased their lead in the NL East to five games with their ninth straight win, 5-3 over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Halladay (20-10) allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings to reach 20 wins for the third time in his career. Hall of Famer Steve Carlton was the last to do it for the Phillies when he won 23 in 1982. Robin Roberts, another Hall of Famer, was the last right-hander to win 20 for Philadelphia, in 1955. The two-time defending NL champions are 43-15 since July 21, when they trailed the Braves by seven games. They are 17-3 in September. The Phillies reduced their magic number to clinch the division to six. Rookie Mike Minor (3-2) lasted just 2 1-3 innings in his eighth career start, allowing three runs and seven hits. Atlantas Freddie Freeman hit his first major league homer, a solo shot off Halladay in the seventh. Freeman was 1 for 13

before he connected. Ryan Madson tossed a scoreless eighth for Philadelphia and Brad Lidge finished for his 25th save in 30 chances. While the Braves used two rookies Brandon Beachy, who made his major league debut on Monday, to start the first two games of a crucial series, the Phillies adjusted their rotation so their three aces would pitch. Halladay followed up another impressive start by 2008 World Series MVP Cole Hamels. Next up is Roy Oswalt. The Braves send Tommy Hanson to the mound as they try to avoid a sweep Wednesday night. A crowd of 45,264 was the 119th straight sellout at Citizens Bank Park. They stayed in their seats and waved white-and-red Fightin Phils rally towels. On Monday night, a teenager in a head-to-toe red spandex suit ran onto the field and eluded security guards until Braves left fielder Matt Diaz tripped him. Werth gave the Phillies a 3-0 lead in the third with his fourth homer in five games, and 25th this season. Placido Polanco walked to lead off the inning and advanced to second on Chase Utleys single.

One out later, Werth hit a drive deep into the seats in left-center. Werth tossed the bat and turned to look at teammates in the dugout before circling the bases, emphatically slapping hands with first-base coach Davey Lopes on his way around. The Braves got runs in the fifth and sixth to cut the deficit to 3-2, but Raul Ibanez hit a two-run double with two outs in the sixth to give the Phillies a three-run lead. Alex Gonzalez looped a double to right to start the Atlanta fifth. After Rick Ankiel singled to left, Gonzalez scored on pinch-hitter Eric Hinskes fielders choice grounder to second. Ankiel broke up a double play by taking shortstop Wilson Valdezs throw off his left hand. Martin Prado singled to right to start the Braves sixth and Brian McCann hit a double off the wall in right-center. Derrek Lee then hit a sacrifice fly that drove in Prado, but McCann inexplicably tried to advance to third and center fielder Shane Victorino, a two-time Gold Glove winner, easily nailed him with a no-hop throw. Mike Dunn retired the first two batters in the sixth before he walked Ryan Howard. After Werth lined a single off the leftfield wall, Ibanez ripped a liner into the right-field corner to make it 5-2.

NEW YORK Nick Swisher homered off James Shields to key a five-run burst in the first inning and the New York Yankees beat Tampa Bay 8-3 on Tuesday night, opening a 2-game lead over the Rays in the AL East. The Yankees cut their magic number for clinching a playoff spot to four over Boston. The Red Sox played Baltimore. Tampa Bay nicked Phil Hughes (17-8) and relievers Javier Vazquez and Joba Chamberlain, but never quite got the big hit it needed while stranding 10 runners. Ahead 7-3, Chamberlain escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth by striking out pinch-hitter Brad Hawpe and getting John Jaso on a liner to center. Chamberlain finished for his third save. New York has won the first two in this four-game series, and pulled even at 8-all with the Rays this season. Robinson Cano blooped an opposite-field, two-run double to left in front of a diving Carl Crawford for a 7-3 lead in the seventh. Derek Jeter doubled home a run in the eighth. Shields (13-13) started against the Yankees for the sixth time this season. He had done well in his previous outings, but this time they figured

him out in a hurry. Its a pattern thats troubled the Tampa Bay rotation for the last few weeks aside from ace David Price, Rays starters have struggled A bright moon hung over the right-field facade when the game began, and Swisher hit a rocket into the bleachers on Shields sixth pitch for his 27th homer. Jorge Posada hit an RBI single with two outs, Lance Berkman boomed a two-run double and Curtis Grandersons single made it 5-0. Shields backed up the plate on Grandersons hit, and slammed his pitching hand into his glove and shouted at himself. Big Game James had a word, too, for plate umpire Mike Everitt in the third after Posada reached on a hit by pitch. The ball skipped past Posadas shin and he instantly headed toward first base it was impossible to tell from replays whether the pitch grazed his pants leg and besides, umpires make that call based on sound, rather than sight. Shields, catcher Jaso and manager Joe Maddon calmly discussed it with Everitt, surely still smarting from Jeters admitted act last week after a Rays pitch hit the knob of his bat, not him. Maddon came out again when the inning ended to talk with Everitt.

Photography gives new angle

atching a Kansas football or basketball game from the sideline is a unique and thrilling experience. Im not trying to brag, I promise, but working as a photographer for The Kansan since 2008, Ive seen my fair share of games from mere feet away from the action. And although many might covet this prime vantage point, I have recently realized that covering sporting events as a photojournalist has had a serious effect on my Kansas fanhood. Let me explain. I was born in Lawrence months after Kansas won its second NCAA mens basketball national championship. Growing up in Lawrence, I was inundated with Kansas sports. Watching hundreds of football and basketball games on TV with my dad served as my training as a Kansas fan. Late Night in the Phog (back when it was actually Late Night, with the scrimmage tipping off at midnight) was one of the biggest events of the year for me. Not even an early morning date with the ACT stopped me from going my junior year of high school. And while attending games was a special occasion as a kid, some of my best childhood memories resonate from the historic confines of Allen Fieldhouse and Memorial Stadium. Through good times and bad, my dedication to Kansas sports never wavered. I sat in the rain by myself to watch Bill Whittemore play his final game in Lawrence. I cried when Roy Williams jumped ship for North Carolina. I cried even harder after watching Kansas lose to Syracuse, Bucknell and Bradley in the NCAA tournament. My freshman year of college I attended every home football and basketball game, and in April of 2008 my wildest Kansas sports dream came true. That fall I began working for The Kansan, and one month into my new job I got the opportunity to shoot the first football game of the sea-

Redshirts dismissed from Emporia State

EMPORIA Three redshirt football players at Emporia State have been dismissed from the team after they were issued misdemeanor citations for marijuana possession. The Topeka Capital-Journal reported that the university confirmed the dismissals Monday. An Oct. 28 court date is scheduled for Miguel Johns of Newton and Jackson Bonnette and Orelando Pratt Jr., both from Corpus Christi, Texas. They were cited Aug. 28 for possession in a campus dormitory. The paper says all three players were freshmen who were redshirting this season. Johns and Pratt were wide receivers, while Bonnette was a quarterback.

son. I was ecstatic, but it was not until minutes before kickoff that I realized that since I was working the game, I couldnt cheer for my team, or clap to the fight song or sing the alma mater as I was accustomed to doing. Working as a journalist, it is always important to remain unbiased no matter the assignment. That means as a photojournalist for The Kansan, I can not show any favoritism or support for one team or another when Im working. So standing on the sidelines of that game against Florida International, for the first time ever, I attended a Kansas sporting event and did not root for Kansas. I did my job, I took pictures, and after the game (which Kansas won 40-10), I was happy about the victory but I did not show it. And so it was for the rest of the season, and the multitude of games I have shot since that day. Ive become so accustomed to not cheering for Kansas while I shoot a game, that when Im not working, it feels strange to actually be able to wear a blue shirt and clap when The Jayhawks scores. Dont get me wrong, my feelings about Kansas sports have not changed. Im still as big of a fan as I ever have been, but I dont seem to care as much as I used to. I came to this realization on Sept. 4 of this year. Watching the Jayhawks suffer one of their worst losses in recent memory to Division I-AA North Dakota State at

home, I stood on the sidelines feeling no remorse or pain in watching the seconds tick away as KU fell to 0-1 on the season. I didnt share the anguish of the student section and the thousands of fans pouring out of the stadium. I was more concerned about getting my work done. It wasnt until later that night that the loss sunk in, and I became aware of how little I cared about the way the team played while I was shooting the game. I understand now that while my feelings might have changed, I still love Kansas, just in a more subtle way. My calloused attitude while working the games has had an effect on my fanhood, but I would not trade the experiences Ive had working for The Kansan for anything. Sitting courtside at Allen Fieldhouse and following Kansas teams on road trips have served as some of my best memories from my college years and will provide more through the coming football and basketball seasons. And while I will continue to suppress my true feelings for Kansas sports while working for The Kansan, I will freely wear crimson and blue and wave the wheat after each touchdown again soon: I graduate in May.

Michigan coach out after heart attack

Sainz disappointed with other female reporters

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
MEXICO CITY The Mexican sports reporter whos at the center of a sexual harassment scandal with the NFL says those who promoted her case are setting back the cause of equal treatment for women. Ines Sainz, the 33-year-old reporter for the TV Azteca network, also said she was taken aback by how the media focus has turned to her wardrobe and appearance. I was really surprised when they start to criticize me and my image and everything, and I said, Cmon, its not the first time youve seen an attractive woman doing her job, she said in an interview with McClatchy. Sainz offered her thoughts about the case, which she said had made her the most popular journalist right now in Mexico and Latin America. She spoke from the office of her production company after a whirlwind 10 days of television appearances and interviews to discuss accusations that she was the subject of sexually charged comments and behavior while she was covering the New York Jets on the practice field and in the locker room. A law school graduate, Sainz might seem perfectly cast to press the issue of equal rights. Instead, shes turned against fellow female sports reporters who took the matter to the NFL. In a column Saturday in Mexico Citys El Universal newspaper titled My Sept. 11 in NY, Sainz wrote that her colleagues have turned back at least 50 years in seeking equal rights for women. She voiced annoyance that those who were coming to her defense never contacted her before complaining to the NFL. I really feel very disappointed because I really think that the first step they needed to do is to call me, Sainz told McClatchy. They only want some kind of attention. The president of the Association for Women in Sports Media, Amy Moritz, a sports reporter for The Buffalo (N.Y.) News, took issue with Sainzs assertion that the group didnt try to communicate with her. On our part, AWSM made numerous attempts to get in touch with Ines Sainz in a variety of ways, but we never received a response, Moritz said in an e-mail. Sainz is one of Mexicos most experienced sports reporters, and her TV network has sent her around the world. Shes interviewed some of the biggest names in sports, including tennis stars Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Kobe Bryant in basketball and baseballs Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. She entered the New York Jets locker room after a game to interview quarterback Mark Sanchez, a Mexican-American, and later Tweeted that she was dying of embarrassment because some players had whistled and hooted at her. The Association for Women in Sports Media lodged a complaint with the NFL, which last Friday reaffirmed an equal-access policy to locker rooms for female reporters, in effect since 1985, and announced a training program for all 32 NFL teams on respectful and professional treatment of female journalists. When the scandal erupted, Sainz was in New York City with her husband, Hector Perez Rojano, the owner of a television production company. She appeared on a flurry of U.S. television news shows.

Touchdowns wont come easy to team on tricycles

ans can no longer be like the proud parents that cheer and clap as their children ride off down the street successfully balancing on two wheels. That big boy status vanished after last year, and now Kansas football has fallen off the two-wheeler and is back on a tricycle. The tricycle though, is a hand me down with three dented wheels, so all a parent can say to the kid is: Pedal harder. Itll be a bumpy ride, but if you want to move forward, that is what you have to do. The three wheels of this beat up tricycle can be represented by three facets of the Kansas offense. I will let the defense off the hook for this metaphor. The front, leading wheel is quarterback Jordan Webb. The left back wheel is the offense. And the back right wheel is offensive coordinator Chuck Long. The father figure that should be pushing the bike with words of encouragement is coach Turner Gill. To be a fine tuned machine, the team needs to learn how to take responsibility off the third wheel and have two working in synchronization. Right now, there are kinks in every wheel. The problem starts with the father figure coach Gill. How confident would you feel learning how to ride a bike for the first time without the person holding you steady saying anything to encourage you or correct your mistakes? Whenever the cameras would cut to Gill during the Southern Mississippi game on Saturday there was only one look on his face. A passive blank look that seemed to be out of touch with everything happening on the field. I would have liked to see some talking, some effort to work out the problems with the coordinators and the players. Instead, punt after

nroesler@kansan.com punt, Gill remained cross armed and looked to the scoreboard as if it held the answers for the team. All other problems all lie in communication between the three janky wheels. The offense has talent. Everyone saw bursts of it in the Georgia Tech game. I even saw it on our last touchdown during the Southern Miss. game where our first play of a drive was a deep fade route thrown perfectly to Jonathan Wilson for a touchdown. The problem doesnt lie in the talent. It lies in how the talent is told what to do. The play calling comes from the back wheel, offensive coordinator. But on Saturday, plays were getting to Webb late and causing delay of games and overall confusion. There needs to be a simple way to get the play from the back wheel, Chuck Long, to the front wheel, Webb. This would create balance and the third wheel, that is the offense, would simply be a benefactor of this relationship. Webb would then be able to steer and lead the offense on the field. Under Mark Mangino, a system was set up where the motion of a hand from an assistant coach would call a new play in the middle of a hurry-up offense. And the system ran smoothly most of the time. Now, Gill needs to mandate the balance that will keep Kansas football on the right path. Edited by Kelsey Nill
