Many college students think they
are too young to worry about breast
cancer. But Jenny McKee, a health
educator at the Wellness Resource
Center in Watkins Memorial
Health Center, said breast cancer
doesnt only affect moms, aunts
and grandmas college students
are at risk too.
One in four women are affect-
ed by breast cancer at some point
in their lives, McKee said. When
we look at that depiction and how
many females are on campus, its
quite alarming how many students
are going to be affected by breast
cancer.
But there is good news as well.
According to the American Cancer
Society, death rates from breast
cancer have declined significantly
among women younger than 50
since 1990.
In order to continue this trend,
Patty Quinlan, the nursing super-
visor at Watkins Memorial Health
Center, said women needed to
continue to take control of their
breast health.
Quinlan said one of the main
steps young women can take is to
pencil a breast self-exam into their
schedules once a month. Quinlan
said women should have started
doing monthly breast self-exams
when their breasts started to devel-
op, which is about age 13. Exams
need to be done on a regular basis
to be effective.
Heather Steinle, a senior from
Olathe, said although she knows
how to do a breast self-exam, she
has never done them on a regular
basis.
Things get busy, and it just
doesnt happen, Steinle said.
Breast self-exams are easy to
learn how to do, and only take
about five minutes to complete.
Its so easy to do preventative
measures that you would have to
ask yourself, Why not? Quinlan
said.
Quinlan said while women are
doing breast self-exams, there are a
few red flags they should be on the
lookout for, such as lumps.
These lumps will not be vis-
ibly noticeable, which is why its
important to do monthly breast
exams so women know what their
normal tissue feels like, Quinlan
said.
Discharge from the nipple or
any discolorations on the breast
are two other signs that some-
thing could be wrong. While these
symptoms do not always mean
breast cancer, Quinlan said stu-
dents should still check in with
their doctors to make sure every-
thing is OK.
If anything has appeared that
wasnt there before, it needs to
be checked out by your physician
right away, Quinlan said. Then,
if the physicians tells them that
its normal, then theyve learned
something.
Quinlan said the rest of the steps
college-aged women could take to
protect themselves from breast
cancer included the basics: a good
nights sleep, less stress, regular
exercise and good nutrition.

Lighted pathways still
on Lawrence agenda
local
Organizers to apply
for additional grants
BY MICHAEL HOLTZ
mholtz@kansan.com
Community organizers have re-
doubled their eforts to install lighted
pathways near downtown Lawrence
afer a recent funding setback.
Te project was delayed when the
Kansas Department of Transporta-
tion rejected an application from
the City of Lawrence for a $174,345
transportation enhancement grant.
Community organizers said the proj-
ect would cost $531,000 to complete.
Te unapproved grant money was
an unexpected and signifcant
setback to the project. Elise Higgins,
former community afairs director
for Student Senate, told Te Kansan
last October that she hoped lighting
would be installed this fall. Now she
hopes the project will be completed
by the end of next year.
I have not given up hope on the
project, said Higgins, a KU alumna
from Topeka and one of the projects
founders. As long as theres still the
need for the project, theres still hope
for it being completed.
Te citys grant application could
be strengthened if the steep slopes,
path width and bicycle access issues
are addressed, according to a letter
from the Bureau of Transportation
Planning. Te letter also said the
number of applicants far exceeded
the amount of funding available.
Despite the unapproved trans-
portation grant, the lighting project
did receive a $60,000 community
development block grant from the
city. Student Senate approved an ad-
ditional $20,000 in funding.
Organizers will most likely request
more money from Senate, said Brad
Rector, community afairs director
and a junior from Overland Park.
Other funding options include reap-
plying for the community develop-
ment grant and requesting donations
from KU alumni. Rector said he
wasnt expecting the city to reapply
for the transportation enhancement
grant.
Rector said he plans to work close-
ly with City Manager Dave Corliss to
explore alternative funding opportu-
nities during the next several weeks.
Te proposed lighted pathways
would run down the sidewalks on
the north side of 12th Street between
Vermont to Louisiana streets. A
similar path would run down 14th
Street between Louisiana and Ohio
streets. Te project would also add
pedestrian-controlled crosswalks on
Kentucky and Tennessee streets.
Te approved LED lights stand
about 15-feet tall, have the same de-
sign as the lights located on Massa-
chusetts Street, and will be equipped
with motion sensors.
Community organizers said the
lighted pathways would improve
safety in the student ghetto, the
densely student-populated neigh-
borhood between the KU campus
and downtown.
I think itd be way better to have a
safe, lighted pathway where students
could feel safe walking home, Rector
said.
Tey dont deserve to live in
fear of being assaulted or robbed,
Higgins said. Tats still a very real
problem.

First West Campus
cafeteria opens up
For the first time in the his-
tory of kU dining services, a
cafeteria will now operate on
West campus.
before this year, daisy Hill
was the closest dining option
for students on West campus,
but this new cafeteria is in
the new school of Pharmacy
building.
dining servies has incorpo-
rated a pharmaceutical theme
in the cafeteria, naming it
mortar and Pestle cafe. this
represents the traditional mor-
tar and pestle used to crush
various ingredients before
preparing prescriptions.
it is really convenient to go
in between classes or meet-
ings, said maggie barnett, a
pharmacy student.
even though the cafeteria is
located in the pharmacy build-
ing, anyone is welcome. Alecia
stultz, the assistant director of
retail dining, said this new op-
tion could also be convenient
for students who use the Park
and ride buses.
We open at 7:30 in the
morning, stultz said. they
can come up here, get a cup of
coffee, maybe a smoothie or
pastry and then there is a Park
and ride stop just on the other
side of the building.
currently, the cafeteria has a
Grill and FreshFusion option
for entrees and a Pulse store
for soda, coffee and ice cream.
barnett said she also appre-
ciated the quality of the food.
they cook the food right
in front of you, which is really
nice, barnett said.
stultz said the convenience
is also a big draw for students.
i think the feedback we get
most is that we are so glad
there is something over here
on West campus, stultz said.
beginning on Oct. 18, din-
ing services will host a weeks
worth of specials leading up
to the Pharmacy buildings
dedication on Oct. 22.

Study says texting
laws are inefective
When students are driving in
their cars and the phone chimes
to indicate a text message, what
do they do? A new study indicates
that not even bans on texting
while driving may stop people
from checking their phones while
at the wheel.
A study by the Highway Loss
data institute, which is funded
by the insurance industry, found
that there is no reduction in the
number of accidents among four
states with texting-while-driving
bans. HLdi theorizes that the ban
may actually make driving less
safe, as people simply text lower
down, where it is less visible, but
which also keeps their focus from
the road they should be looking
at.
currently, Lawrence drivers
who are caught texting are issued
warnings, but that will change
next January when a new law
goes into efect. Violators who
are caught texting will be sent to
municipal court.
still, sgt. matt sarna from the
Lawrence Police department said
there was no guaranteed formula
to enforce the regulations.
its going to be hard for ofcers
to enforce whether they are texting
or on the phone or dialing a num-
ber, sarna said.
thats something our ofcers
will have to deal with when we are
out on the streets.
Lawrence students dont see
how the current law has helped
them.
tara Falkner, a sophomore from
Gardner, said she didnt think
the ban would have an efect on
accidents or people texting in
Lawrence.
After the new regulations come
in place, the Lawrence Police
department will better be able to
judge how texting afects safe driv-
ing around the University.

Can you hear the bells? You can
if youre on campus at noon on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Every week Elizabeth Berghout,
assistant professor of music and
resident carillonneur, performs on
the 53 bronze bells housed atop the
World War II memorial.
Berghout used to only perform
on Sunday afternoons, but at the
beginning of this year she made the
decision to play during the week
too.
The Campanile is for the cam-
pus and for the students, Berghout
said. But on Sundays no one is here
to hear it.
KU employee Elizabeth Mendoza
spreads a blanket over a bench by
the Campanile. She lies down, takes
out a sandwich and delves into her
book.
Mendoza said she tries to eat
lunch here every day. Although shes
not here just to listen to the bells,
she enjoys the atmosphere they cre-
ate.
Matt Speise, a senior from Kansas
City, Kan., agrees. He said he enjoys
studying on the hillside and the
sound of the music. It doesnt inter-
fere with his homework, he said.
Berghout heard her first recital at
the Campanile in 1996. Immediately
afterward she began taking lessons
from the previous carillonneur.
I fell in love with the sound of
the bells, Berghout said.
Berghout is teaching nine stu-
dents and a few community mem-
bers to play the carillon, and its no
easy task.
The keyboard is nearly 6 feet long
and the keys look like candlesticks,
Berghout said. To play the instru-
ment she strikes the keys with the
sides of her fists and with her feet.
The keys are attached to clappers,
which move an inch to beat up
against the inside of the bells.
Its a physical instrument,
Berghout said. You play with your
arms and legs and feet.
When Berghout selects the music,
she has lot of options to choose
from. There is music written for the
carillon and music that is adapted
for it. She said she incorporates sea-
sonal pieces with music that people
will recognize.
Its a beautiful sound, she said.

Believe it or not, students and
employees of the University have
many similar experiences when it
comes to parking on campus.
Recent changes to certain lots
have kept Donna Hultine, direc-
tor of Parking and Transit, on the
phone with complaints.
We changed a section of
Memorial Drive from red to
blue and I get reports every day
from people saying Its empty, its
empty, Hultine said.
This parking lot, located to the
north of the Spencer Museum of
Art, was recently changed from
having some Yellow, or student
parking, to an all Red, faculty and
staff lot. The lot is usually half
empty.
The complaining has prompt-
ed the parking commission to
observe the area for the rest of the
year when they will decide if it
needs to be changed back.
During their monthly meet-
ing a couple of weeks ago, the
commission also reviewed the
change in the Spencer Museum
of Art parking lot which went
from yellow and red to only red
in August.
Although empty spaces are
plentiful around the lot now on
any given day, Hultine said the
change hasnt taken away from
student parking.
Better options for student
transportation, such as bus fare
being paid for by student fees,
have led to a decline in yellow
permit purchases.
Oversell of yellow permits
declined from 39 percent in 2003
to 2004 to 8.4 percent in 2009
to 2010. Administratively though,
oversell rose from 66.9 percent in
2003 to 2004 to 78.5 percent in
2009 to 2010.

For Betsy Bell, a sophomore
from Overland Park, the choice
to ride the bus only took place
because she was sick of dealing
with the hassle of parking around
campus.
Id have to fight people for
spots and end up being late for
class, Bell said.
Even though she is on the bus
now, Bell said she hasnt noticed
the decline in yellow permit pur-
chases.
I dont even see any spots that
I could take, Bell said.
But the time when there werent
spaces available during certain
times of the day has passed,
Hultine said. She said there is
always something now.
Bell thinks they still need
more.
There just isnt enough stu-
dent parking, Bell said.
Bell said she understood why
the faculty and staff park close.
They get to park right there,
Bell said.
Hultine said students do ask to
buy staff or faculty permits and
although faculty and staff permits
provide for better parking, they
cost a considerable amount more
and include certain stipulations.
The exceptionally close parking
stalls with the blue signs that say
reserved for and then display a
number are reserved for individu-
als that hold a specific position
within the University.
Over 20 positions within the
University qualify a person for
one reserved stall. It costs $800
to reserve a stall for one year
and that includes an alternate
parker permit for days when the
permit holder is not occupying
the stall. Currently, 39 faculty
members have a reserved stall
and Diane Goddard, vice provost
for administration and finance,
said both Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little and Provost Jeffrey
Vitter each have one reserved spot
behind Strong Hall.
Transit improvements have alle-
viated certain parking problems
for students but Hultine doesnt
see a change in store for faculty
and staff parking problems.
Faculty and staff have not
changed their parking behav-
ior very much and I dont think
the bus system works for them,
Hultine said. I cant make myself
ride the bus.

TUPELO, Miss. When a
Mississippi judge entered a court-
room and asked everyone to stand
for the Pledge of Allegiance, an
attorney with a reputation for fight-
ing free speech battles stayed silent
as everyone else recited the patri-
otic oath. The lawyer was jailed.
Attorney Danny Lampley
spent about five hours behind
bars Wednesday before Judge
Talmadge Littlejohn set him free
so that the lawyer could work on
another case. Lampley told The
Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal
he respected the judge but wasnt
going to back down.
I dont have to say it because
Im an American, Lampley told the
newspaper.
The Supreme Court ruled nearly
70 years ago that schoolchildren
couldnt be forced to say the pledge,
a decision widely interpreted to
mean no one could be required to
recite the pledge.
On Thursday, the judge again
asked those in the courtroom to
pledge allegiance to the flag, which
stands to the right of the bench.
I didnt expect the Pledge of
Allegiance, but he asked me to do
it so I did it, said Melissa Adams,
41, who testified in a child custody
case that was closed to the public.
Lampley, 49, previously refused
to say the pledge in front of
Littlejohn in June. He was asked to
leave the courtroom, but returned
after the pledge.
The attorney told the newspaper
Wednesday it was a problem for
the judge and himself to work out,
yet blogs across the country lit up
with fiery comments and support
for both sides.

bEYoND THE GRAVE
Mcclatchy-tribune
LOS ANGELES It looks
to be a tight race at the box of-
fce this weekend, with a distinct
chance that none of the three
movies opening nationwide will
emerge a clear winner.
Walt Disney Pictures horse
racing drama Secretariat and
Warner Bros. romantic comedy
Life as We Know It are both
expected to sell roughly $15 mil-
lion worth of tickets on their de-
but weekend, according to people
who have seen pre-release sur-
veys. But if both pictures perform
below expectations, they could
end up behind Sony Pictures
Facebook movie, Te Social
Network, which is in its second
weekend and on track to collect
$12 million to $15 million.
Social Network has had
strong weekday grosses, taking
in about $2 million each day and
bringing its box ofce total to
$28.7 million by Wednesday.
Te 3-D horror flm My Soul
to Take, which Universal Pic-
tures is releasing for Relativity
Medias Rogue Pictures genre la-
bel, will probably lag behind the
competition with a little less than
$10 million. Young adults, who
typically make up the audience
for horror movies, appear to be
highly interested in the frst flm
that horror-meister Wes Craven
has directed in fve years. It cost
about $25 million to produce.
Indeed, it appears that nothing
will break out on what appears to
be a slow moviegoing weekend.
Disney has aggressively marketed
Secretariat as an inspirational
family flm, but it is mainly draw-
ing interest from older adults,
who are the most likely to be fa-
miliar with the Triple Crown win-
ner from the 1970s.
Secretariat cost $35 million to
produce and will need to open on
the high end of expectations and
generate strong word of mouth
to end up a fnancial success for
Disney.
One of the movies challenges
is that its likely audience overlaps
with that of Life as We Know It,
which is expected to be broadly
appealing to women. Tis week-
end the two pictures will play at
more than 3,000 cinemas.

Pranks constant on Jackass 3D set
Mcclatchy-tribune
CHICAGO Johnny Knoxville
didnt sleep very well while film-
ing Jackass 3D. Few members of
the cast and crew did. They were
too paranoid a result of the
constant pranks on the set and
were forced to sleep with one eye
open, so to speak.
You dont sleep, said Knoxville,
while promoting the sequel with
director Jeff Tremaine. You
check around corners and look
over your shoulders constantly.
We were like World War II fighter
pilots never let anyone on your
tail.
Tremaine directed the first two
Jackass films, which combined
made more than $164 million
at the worldwide box office, and
said the third film, in theaters
Oct. 15, left the cast and crew a
little rattled.
For the next three years, well
all be covering our (privates),
Tremaine said. Were so paranoid
right now.
What exactly did they do to
each other?
Tremaine introduced a new
prank to the group called The
Rocky, named for the Italian
Stallion himself. It involved
sneaking up behind an unsus-
pecting victim, splashing water
in his face and then immediately
punching him with a boxing glove
all while the Rocky theme
song played on a boombox.
One time when I played the
song, about eight people ducked
and looked around, Knoxville
said. It was nerve-racking.
The Rocky was filmed with
a camera that shoots 100 frames
per second, Knoxville said. This
allows the audience to see the
prank from the water splashing
to the way the face reacts to the
punch in super slow motion.
Its just one of many new camera
tricks fans will notice in the 3-D
sequel.
You feel like youre in the
scene with us, Knoxville said
about 3-D. It elevated the film to
another level.
Glee surpasses
Beatles record
move over, beatles, and
make way for the cast of
Glee.the hit tV show has
now charted more songs on
the billboard Hot 100 than the
Fab Four.
the beatles placed 71 titles
in the Hot 100 from their
frst appearance in 1964 with
i Want to Hold your Hand
through real Love in 1996.
but its taken Glee only a bit
more than 16 months to put
75 songs onto the same chart.
because of the quantity of
Glee releases fve or six
songs are typically made avail-
able for downloading after
each weeks episode its
number of potential charting
songs has outstripped re-
leases by conventional bands
or solo acts.
that doesnt, however,
mean the Glee singers have
surpassed the beatles in terms
of sales. total download sales
of the Glee titles are at 11.5
million, according to billboard.
the beatles remain the big-
gest selling act of all time,
with certifed album sales
of 177 million copies in the
United states. the quartet also
has received 24 gold singles
awards, 10 platinum and four
multiplatinum certifcations.
the Glee tally of 75 songs
is now third overall behind
James brown, who charted 91
songs, and elvis Presley, who
holds the record at 108.

Te annual campus crime report
has been released and it shows that
some areas have seen a decrease
in crime and others an increase.
Te University and the KU Police
Department should be supported
in their continued eforts to keep
campus safe and students should
take preventative measures to
ensure their personal safety.
According to the report, in 2008
there were 82 reported burglaries
on campus, 38 reported burglar-
ies in the residence halls and six
reported burglaries of campus.
Tis year those numbers decreased
signifcantly. In 2009 there were
only 38 reported burglaries on
campus, nine reported burglaries in
the residence halls and there were
no reported burglaries of campus.
While this decrease in burglar-
ies is good, other areas have seen
an increase. Forcible sex ofenses
have increased from six cases
in 2008 to eight cases in 2009
and robberies on campus have
increased from one case in 2008 to
eight cases in 2009.
Despite those increases Capt.
Schuyler Bailey said overall crime
has decreased in the past decade.
Te number of reported crimes,
overwhelmingly nonviolent, at
KU has decreased 34 percent since
1999, Schuyler said.
Schuyler attributes this decrease
to police patrols, camera surveil-
lance and the eforts to educate
students and staf about how to
take precautions and avoid becom-
ing a victim of a crime.
While the decreased number
of overall crimes is a good thing,
students should still be proactive in
keeping themselves safe.
While on campus, Schuyler
advises students to be aware of the
locations of the emergency blue
phones and to utilize SafeRide.
When walking Schuyler said
students should always walk with
another person when possible, be
aware of their surroundings and
walk in well-lit areas.
At home, Schuyler said to always
keep the doors and windows
locked and to ensure that the locks
are of proper quality. He also said
to use peepholes and to not leave
keys hidden outside.
Students should also protect
themselves in personal relation-
ships. As the numbers show, the
number of forcible sex ofenses has
increased this year and students
should work to protect themselves.
When going out with someone
new, go on a group date or meet in
a public place, Schuyler said.
He also suggests students ar-
range their own transportation and
alert friends and family of their
location to also help keep students
safe.
While the overall decrease in
crime on campus is a positive result
of KUPDs ongoing efort to pre-
vent crime, students should still be
proactive to not become a victim.

Time as embed fosters
understanding of military
MiLiTAry
S
cads of Army privates
crawled over cement
barriers, through sand and
barbed wire as machine guns
fred bullets 30 feet over their
heads in the dark, Missouri
night. I got to watch this night
infltration exercise at Fort
Leonard Wood, Mo., using a
night-vision monocular.
I had this opportunity while
participating in Bridging
the Gap: A Military Experience
for Journalists along with nine
others from around the country
and the world. Its a program
coordinated by the William Allen
White School of Journalism
and funded by the McCormick
Foundation.
Te goal of the program is to
allow the military and the media
to better understand each other.
Te goal isnt to make everyone
buddies just to reach a clearer
grasp of what the other does and
why.
Last Sunday through Friday, I
spent time at Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.
Sure, these are both Army posts,
but I learned how diferent they
are, too.
Fort Leavenworth is basically a
college campus. In fact, the post
is recognized as the Intellectual
Center of the Army. Army
majors (and some international
military ofcers) go to Fort
Leavenworth to attend the
Command and General Staf
College. Teir job while at the
post is to be a student just like
us. Te ofcers have usually been
in the Army for 10 or so years.
Teyve been deployed two, three
or four times.
One thing did surprise me
though. 40 percent of Army
majors go to Fort Leavenworth
with a Masters degree. 80 percent
leave the post with a Masters
degree.
Fort Leonard Wood is on the
opposite side of the spectrum.
Fort Leonard Wood is a home
to the 43rd Adjutant General
Battalion a reception
battalion. Tis is where newly
enlisted privates get medical
check-ups, eye and dental exams
and receive their uniforms.
Basic training also takes place
at Fort Leonard Wood. Privates
do physical training PT
at 500 hrs. Tey learn to shoot
guns. Tey do obstacle courses.
Tey sleep in barracks. Tey eat
MREs or Meals, Ready-to-Eat.
I learned a heck of a lot last
week. I have more respect for
members of the Armed Forces.
Te military is its own culture
a culture that puts their lives on
the line for the rest of us.
Plus, I think the military is the
most respectful culture Ive ever
witnessed. Every member of the
military I talked to privates,
majors, sergeants, generals and
everyone else addressed me as
maam. (I was only called sir
once. It was an accident.)
At the ripe age of 20 years
old, maam isnt something Im
called very ofen.
Honestly, I feel like Im the one
who should have addressed them
as sir and maam. Teyre the
ones fghting for our rights and
defending our constitution. And
they volunteered to do it. I think
thats pretty powerful.

Tey cannot be reasoned with. Te only solution for com-
munists is to isolate their economies so they have to be self-
sufcient.
Te joke is on them. No communist is self-sufcient because
they do not work. Oh sure, in America they have jobs. But
they hate them. Tey hate their bosses, hate anyone who makes
more money than them and they hate the stockholders who
contribute value.
Tey will never acknowledge the facts (Stalin, Lenin - mass
deaths, elimination of teachers !!! thats a big one they dont
mention) Tey never debate the issues.
Tey will attack you narcap - personally. Watch for them to
call you names instead of discuss the issues. By discussing the
issues they give criticism credence and risk losing the naive to
rationality.
Communism is institutionalized mass death. To a communist,
a new human is a cost to the system. To a capitalist, a new
human is value. End of story.
metacognition in response to Students form group for
KU socialists on Oct. 7.
I would first like to say that I am not a communist, and do
not advocate any form of violence. What I am is a socialist - at
term which has been stigmatized beyond recognition. I would
also like to say that I often have very meaningful conversa-
tions with people who do not agree with me. My guiding prin-
ciple is rationality, and I do not easily take to ideas I have not
fully explored.

Notebook
By kelly Stroda
kstroda@kansan.com
I
n 2004 afer the high-profle
deaths of several professional
athletes, the FDA passed a total
ban on a widely available herbal
supplement called ephedra.
Te botanical source of the plant,
Ephedra sinica, had been known
to the Chinese for 2000 years as an
efective treatment of respiratory
problems, but also for its stimulant
efects.
Lately, however, the use of ephedra
became increasingly popular in
the competitive atmosphere of
professional sports, where any
athletic advantage is welcomed.
Its users claimed that it gave them
energy to achieve athletic goals they
normally wouldnt be able to and
also allowed them to shed a few
pounds in a pinch.
By the time the herb was banned,
however, it had been linked to 69
percent of health problems related
to herbal supplements in the US,
and was directly responsible for the
deaths of 34 Americans.
Ephedra, for all intents and
purposes, was a drug; it altered the
function of people who took it, was
marketed to do so, and, like many
other drugs, was dangerous to those
who were not instructed in how to
use it properly.
So, why are many of the drugs
with similar efects locked up at
Walgreens where only a pharmacist
can access them, while so many
herbal supplements, some of which
are potentially harmful, are available
to anyone with a few bucks and time
to stop by the Merc?
Furthermore, why do nearly none
of the supplements sold at health
food stores carry any warning about
adverse efects or information on
proper dosage, while even dandruf
shampoos at pharmacies have to?
Te answer is straightforward
enough, but the reasons might
cause a bit of head scratching and,
probably, anger.
Te FDA simply does not hold
herbal supplements to the same
standards as prescription and over-
the-counter drugs, due largely to the
passage of Te Dietary Supplement
Health and Education Act of 1994
(DSHEA) which essentially qualifes
dietary and herbal supplements as a
category of foods.
Unlike drugs created by
drug companies, producers of
supplements are not responsible
to prove that their product is safe
before introducing it to the market,
and it is the responsibility of the
FDA afer health concerns ariseas
was the case with ephedrato test
whether a supplement is safe.
Tis policy can lead to unnecessary
deaths since supplements are only
found to be dangerous in retrospect,
years afer they were introduced to
the market.
Drug manufacturers, on the other
hand, are subject to an average of
14.2 years of testing their products
to insure they are safe, resulting
in only 0.1 percent of compounds
tested by drug companies ever being
approved by the FDA.
Supplements also have no legal
standards for packaging, so even the
amount of active ingredients listed
on the box can vary from brand to
brand or even bottle to bottleand
thats assuming that the supplement
claimed to be in the product is even
present.
For instance, in a study of 20
arthritis supplements conducted
by ConsumerLab.com, 40 percent
didnt even contain the ingredients
listed on their labels.
So, why would something like
the DSHEA that obviously risks
the lives of so many people ever be
passed?
Te same reason Big Pharma is
accused of being indiferent to the
health of its customers: money.
Te monetary incentive to
prevent the passage of such bills is
obvious.
When the industry is less
regulated, a supplement can be
marketed to treat nearly anything,
and all that is required is a
disclaimer stating that the claims
are not verifed by the FDA.
Until the FDA steps up regulation
of herbal supplements, Americans
interested in pursuing possibly
legitimate alternative treatments
will continue to shop in veritable
snake oil supermarkets, where the
possible dangers of supplements are
obscured by their manufacturers in
the name of quick cash.

MANHATTAN Nebraska
quarterback Taylor Martinez
rushed for 242 yards and four
touchdowns Thursday night and
the seventh-ranked Cornhuskers
ended a 99-year rivalry with
Kansas State in the same lop-
sided fashion it began, thrashing
the slower, outmanned Wildcats
48-13.
Martinez, the redshirt freshman
who has rushed for 737 yards in
his first five games for the Huskers
(5-0), also threw a 79-yard touch-
down pass to Kyler Reed for a
38-6 lead in the third quarter. His
rushing total broke Jammal Lords
Nebraska record for a quarter-
back and his four rushing TDs
tied the team quarterback mark.
He was replaced by Cody Green
with almost 10 minutes left in
the game.
Martinez finished 5 of 7 for 128
yards as the Huskers piled up 587
yards total offense in the Big 12
opener for both teams.
Daniel Thomas. a senior run-
ning back who was averaging 157
yards a game for the Wildcats
(4-1), was held to 63 yards on 22
carries.
Kansas State did not have nearly
enough quickness to keep up with
Martinez and the Huskers. Roy
Helu broke loose for a 68-yard TD
run in a 21-point third quarter
that made a rout of what could be
the last game these two schools
ever play. In a rousing start to
their farewell Big 12 tour, the
Huskers shortest touchdown play
was 14 yards.
Headed next year to the Big Ten,
they said goodbye to Kansas State
with a six-game winning streak
that raised their overall record
against the Wildcats to 78-15-2,
a series they began in 1911 with
a 59-0 blowout and dominated
almost start-to-finish.
In one four-game stretch in the
1980s, Nebraska outscored Kansas
State 183-9. So getting kicked
around by Nebraska was nothing
new to Kansas State fans who had
hoped to send them out of the Big
12 with a loss.
But the Huskers had too much
speed and too much Martinez.
Their scoring drives in the third
quarter covered 80 yards in three
plays, 68 in one and 80 in two.
Kansas States only TD came
on a 2-yard pass on fourth down
from Carson Coffman to Chris
Harper late in the fourth quar-
ter. Brodrick Smith, Kansas States
sophomore wide receiver, hurt his
left leg on the third-down play
and was taken off the field on a
cart as play was stopped for sev-
eral minutes.
Martinez got the Huskers roll-
ing with a 14-yard TD run in
the first quarter. In the second,
he went around right end, the
linebacker bit on the fake to the
running back, and Martinez went
35 yards to the end zone. He
made it 24-3 58 seconds into the
third quarter when he burst up
the middle through a big hole and
raced 80 yards untouched.
Helus 68-yard run made it two
touchdowns in four plays for the
Huskers.
In the fourth quarter, a per-
sonal foul was called on Kansas
States Brandon Harold for a blow
to Martinezs head. After the pen-
alty, Martinez went 41 yards to the
end zone.

BARCELONA, Spain
Juan Carlos Navarro scored 25
points to help Barcelona beat
the NBA champion Los Angeles
Lakers 92-88 in an exhibition on
Thursday.
Spanish center Pau Gasol led
the Lakers with 24 points but had
only one field goal in the second
half. His homecoming was spoiled
by the Euroleague champion in a
game that lived up to the billing
of an informal intercontinental
showdown.
You always want to win, but
it was an emotional game, Gasol
said. The fans enjoyed it, and the
atmosphere was spectacular. We
lost, but when your friends win
you have to be happy for them.
The Lakers blew a 12-point
advantage in the second half and
were outplayed down the stretch
after the game was tied at 72 mid-
way through the fourth quarter.
They played much better in
the fourth quarter, Lakers coach
Phil Jackson said, ruing his teams
turnovers. We anticipated they
would not take a back seat and
that they would be very physical.
They did a good job doubling
Pau in the second half and mak-
ing him go to the foul line for his
points.
obe Bryant played 25 min-
utes, compared to six on Monday
in a loss to the Minnesota
Timberwolves, as he recovers
from knee surgery.
He scored 15 points but went 2
for 15 from the field and missed
two 3-pointers with a chance to
tie the game with under a minute
to play.
Bryant said his knee was feeling
good, but Jackson said his guard
played above his fitness level.
He is not ready to play. He
went out there to show his good-
will for the fans and to support his
team, Jackson said.
With the loss to the
Timberwolves, the NBA cham-
pions head home with a 0-2 pre-
season record.
Pete Mickael had 24 points and
Terrence Morris chipped in with
four 3-pointers for the Euroleague
titleholders.
Gasol was the center of atten-
tion from the moment he stepped
on the court, receiving a constant
barrage of camera flashes through-
out warmups, and a roaring stand-
ing ovation when he addressed the
crowd before
the game.
It was a
wonderful feel-
ing to be so
well supported
and appreciated
after so many
years playing
abroad, and I
am very proud
to have been
received in this
way, Gasol said.
Bryant and Barcelonas stars
Ricky Rubio and Navarro also
drew huge applause when they
were introduced.
The first thing you noticed
was the crowd, Bryant said. It
was great to see a packed house.
Neither team played like it was
merely an exhibition. Three tech-
nical fouls were called.
Navarro admitted it was not a
pretty game.
It was physical, and despite
the fact we missed a lot of outside
shots, we held on to get the win,
Navarro said.
The Lakers went right to Gasol
from the opening tip. He scored
the games first basket, a baseline
jumper, and he notched his 10th
point in six minutes to give the
Lakers an early 18-12 lead.
Navarro took charge for
Barcelona, scoring nine in the
first quarter. He assisted Erazem
Lorbek for a 3-pointer to tie it at
20, and a free throw by Mickeal
gave the home team a one-point
lead with 2:07 to play in the first.
Barcelona extended its lead to
30-26 in the opening minutes of
the second, as the Lakers strug-
gled to score with Gasol on the
bench.
R o o k i e
Devin Ebanks
scored four
s t r a i g h t
points a
layup off a
pass by Gasol
and two more
from the foul
line after he
r e b ounde d
his own free
throw miss
to put the Lakers in front 37-36.
But back-to-back 3-pointers by
Navarro and Morris sent Barcelona
into the break up 45-44.
The celebratory atmosphere
did not stop the crowd from jeer-
ing the referees when they called a
technical on Navarro for protest-
ing a foul on Bryant, who con-
verted the three free throws to put
the Lakers in front 53-47 early in
the third.
A 3-pointer by Mickael put
Barcelona ahead 84-78 with under
three minutes to go.

Yankees take a 2-0
lead home to NY
AssociAted Press
MINNEAPOLIS Andy
Pettitte and the New York Yankees
stumbled through September and
landed in the AL wild-card spot.
As the Minnesota Twins can
attest, the Yankees are hardly an
underdog in October.
Pushing the home-field advan-
tage back in Minnesotas face,
Pettitte turned in a vintage postsea-
son performance with seven smooth
innings and Lance Berkman had
two big hits for New York in a 5-2
victory over the Twins on Thursday
evening for a 2-0 lead in their best-
of-five division series.
Berkman hit a go-ahead home
run in the fifth and a tiebreak-
ing double in the seventh against
Carl Pavano, sending the Twins to
their 11th straight postseason loss.
Eight of those have come against
the Yankees, who trailed in each of
those games.
The Twins havent won a postsea-
son game since 2004, matching the
Philadelphia Phillies (1915-1976)
for the second-longest streak in
history behind the Boston Red Sox
(1986-1995) and their 13 in a row.
Berkman, yet another big-
name veteran finding a place on a
Yankees postseason roster, even on
the downside of his career, made it
2-1 with his drive into the left-cen-
ter bullpen in the fifth. His double
in the seventh one pitch after
it appeared Pavano sneaked strike
three past him drove in Jorge
Posada and gave New York a 3-2
lead.
The disputed call by plate
umpire Hunter Wendelstedt led to
the ejection of Twins manager Ron
Gardenhire following Berkmans
double.
Derek Jeter chased his old team-
mate Pavano off the mound with
a half-swing RBI single to make it
4-2. Curtis Granderson scored New
Yorks first run and came up with
three more hits. And the Yankees
headed back home for Game 3 on
Saturday night, with a command-
ing lead over the team they own in
October.
Pettitte retired 12 in a row until
Orlando Hudsons homer tied it at
2 in the sixth, but after Delmon
Youngs two-out triple he escaped
with a weak groundout by Jim
Thome. Pettitte needed only 88
pitches to finish seven innings, with
five hits and two runs allowed. He
walked one and struck out four.
This was the same matchup on
the mound as Game 3 of last years
series, and despite a savvy, poised
performance by Pavano, Pettitte
was a step ahead.
The old man, as Hudson respect-
fully referred to him the night
before, broke a bunch of bats and
was able to escape a bases-loaded,
one-out situation in the second by
allowing Danny Valencias only sac-
rifice fly.
Pettitte spoke the day before
about how, while he doesnt change
his approach, these October appear-
ances simply feel different to him.
As one of the Yankees famed Core
Four, he sure would know. This
was his 41st career postseason start
and 19th win both major league
records.
After an outstanding first half,
Pettitte strained his left groin mus-
cle and missed two months until
returning for three starts at the end
of the regular season. His absence
compounded concerns about the
rotation, but after winning a so-so
start by CC Sabathia in Game 1
and getting this vintage effort from
Pettitte the Yankees so far dont
look as though theyll be affected
by any pitching problems.
Pavano walked Posada to start
the seventh and thought he had
Berkman struck out on a 2-2 pitch
that appeared to be a strike, but
Berkman sent a long drive to cen-
ter and Posada raced around the
bases.
Gardenhire was steamed, so he
lured Wendelstedt to the mound
during an extended conversation
with his players then got tossed
after arguing on his way back.
NbA
Wall shines late, carries Washington to win
The fans enjoyed it,
and the atmosphere was
spectacular.
PAu GASOl
lakers center
AssociAted Press
CLEVELAND Rookie John
Wall missed his first nine shots
before showing the skills that
made him the top overall pick in
this years NBA draft, pacing the
Washington Wizards to a 97-83
preseason win over the Cleveland
Cavaliers on Thursday night.
For most of three quarters, Wall
looked like your average first-year
pro.
After scoring 21 in his preseason
debut on Tuesday in Dallas, Wall
didnt get his first basket until
there was just 3:15 left in the third
quarter. He hit a driving layup
off a fast break, something hes
certain to do hundreds of times
this season.
From there on, he hardly
missed.
Wall scored 12 points in a span
of 8:26, and finished with nine
assists in 37 minutes before coach
Flip Saunders pulled him with
6:49 to play and the Wizards com-
fortably ahead.
Yi Jianlian scored 16 points
and Gilbert Arenas 13 for
Washington.
J.J. Hickson scored 16, Daniel
Boobie Gibson 10 and Ryan
Hollins had 14 rebounds for the
Cavaliers, still finding their way
without superstar LeBron James
and in new coach Byron Scotts
uptempo offense. Cleveland had
26 turnovers and shot only 35
percent.
Wall displayed some of the jaw-
dropping speed that convinced the
Wizards he can be the face of their
franchise and the one to bring
them back following an embar-
rassing 26-56 season marked by
Arenas 50-game suspension for a
felony gun conviction.
With the third quarter winding
down, Wall took the inbounds
pass, darted past several Cavaliers
and streaked down the lane for a
layup in the final second. In the
fourth, Wall converted a three-
point play underneath that helped
the Wizards open a 74-57 lead.
Walls offensive repertoire tends
to overshadow what he can do
defensively. However, he had four
steals in his first game at Dallas
and Saunders has been impressed
with the point guards relentless
attitude on defense.

A 1-3 record in conference play
isnt where the Jayhawks were hop-
ing to be at this point in the sea-
son, but they will look to carry
the momentum that was gained by
beating Texas on Sunday into this
weekends Oklahoma series.
The win against Texas marked
Kansas first conference win of the
year, and only the second time in
the 15-year history of the Jayhawk
soccer program that they have
knocked off the Longhorns.
Senior forward Kaitlyn
Cunningham noticed the impor-
tance of getting that first win in
conference out of the way.
That was an extremely big win
for us, she said. It is a big confi-
dence boost. You get the first win
under your belt and its kind of like
theres no stopping us now.
Today at 4 p.m. Kansas will play
host to defensively sound No. 7
Oklahoma State. The Cowgirls
rank first in the Big 12 in goals
allowed, having only given up
seven goals in 14 games played.
Coach Mark Francis is well
aware of the challenge that their
defense presents.
They are tough to score on.
Their goalkeeper is very good,
he said.
Oklahoma State sits atop the
Big 12 standings, unbeaten so far
through four conference games,
two of which were shutouts.
Cunningham said the play-
ers have been told about the
Oaklahoma State goalkeepers ath-
leticism, but she expects her team
to attack.
If we can get the ball out wide
and get some pretty good service,
and get people to actually attack
the ball and be dangerous in those
situations, then we can put her
under pressure and see what she
is really made of, Cunningham
said.
Oklahoma State hasnt lost
since Aug. 29th, but the 12-1-1
Cowgirls are the type of competi-
tion Francis has come to expect in
the Big 12.
Every game in conference is
tough. There is no easy game, he
said. Both games this weekend
will be tough games.
It wont get any easier as the
Jayhawks take on Oklahoma on
Sunday to finish out the four game
home stretch. Oklahoma is cur-
rently tied for second place in
the Big 12 with a 2-2 conference
record.
Francis said that Oklahoma is
more athletic than they were last
year, and a lot better over all. This
is evident by their 6-5-1 record,
which is just two wins short of
their win total from a season ago.
Francis said the Jayhawks need
to take advantage of the few home
conference games they have left.
This is the last weekend we are
at home for both games so it is
going to be really important for us
to get results, he said. We have
to show up with the same type of
focus that we did against [Texas]
A&M and against Texas. Anything
less than that is not going to be
good enough.

M
y roommate and her boyfriend
were arguing about being a
sports fan recently. She was giv-
ing him a hard time about not knowing
much about sports. His response was that
he actually does sports, not just watches
other people do them.
While I think thats a bit of a cop out
(real men know sports), there does seem
to be something a little off about sitting
inside on a Sunday watching other people
perform amazing physical feats while
you sit on your butt eating chili dogs and
drinking beer.
Not that it isnt my favorite way to spend
a Sunday, but it is a little hypocritical for
me to yell at a player when he doesnt
make a catch when I cant even open the
jar of pickles by myself.
We idolize physical fitness in America,
but a lot of us arent exactly all-stars. I used
to be able to run a sub-six mile and my
daily routine was running for at least half
an hour everyday, but now its a good week
if I get three days of exercise.
I used to feel weird if I didnt work out.
Now it doesnt make a difference. Now, I
think a work out is carrying my bags of
groceries (filled with mainly Ben & Jerrys)
up the stairs I do try to do bicep curls
while carrying them, though.
After the P.E. classes and YMCA bas-
ketball practices of our youth end, it just
seems really difficult to find the time to
work out. Now I have classes and fantasy
teams to manage and in two years Ill have
work and bills to pay.
I know my health and well-being should
be at the forefront and I should make time
to work out. Ive tried the morning exer-
cise, but when 5 a.m. rolls around it just
seems so early. Ive tried night exercise,
too, but when 10 p.m. rolls around I just
seem so tired.
The fact of the matter is that any foot-
ball player no matter how bad he is, even
whoever the Arizona quarterback is, is
still way more physically fit than I am.
And maybe and this is a big maybe
instead of watching these guys all day on
Sundays I can take a quarter or two off
and go outside for a run. Or, for more of a
compromise, go watch the game at the rec
while I sweat on the StairMaster.
And then go get some pizza and beer as
a reward.

Tomorrow is the Jayhawks for
a Cure match against No. 10 Iowa
State and Catherine Carmichael
will be playing for a very personal
reason.
Her younger brother is a two-
time cancer survivor.
Its bringing the issue of cancer
to light, and having a day for it lets
people realize what it is all about,
said Carmichael, a freshman out-
side hitter.
Carmichael said her younger
brother had
inspired her
with his posi-
tive attitude
throughout his
battle with can-
cer. Hes been
diagnosed twice
with Hopkins
Lymphoma
first in seventh grade and again
this past December.
No matter if its Jayhawks for a
Cure or Breast Cancer Awareness
Week, anything that has to do
with cancer is very special to me,
Carmichael said.
Jayhawks for a Cure is a series
of KU sporting events designed
to raise awareness and money for
breast cancer research.
All the teams showed a lot of
interest, so we organized these
events under the name Jayhawks
for a Cure so people would rec-
ognize the name and the cause,
said Chris Lansdell, the director of
events and game day experience.
On Saturday, Centerplate will
donate $1 for every soft drink sold
and fans wearing pink will receive
$3 admission. Last year, Kansas
Athletics raised more than $8,000
for Lawrence Memorial Hospital
and the University of Kansas
Cancer Center.
Lots of people on the team,
whether or not they have been
touched personally, are happy
to participate, Carmichael said,
I think its something everyone
loves to do every year.
According to the National
Cancer Institute, Kansas is ranked
in the second highest bracket for
annual cancer incidence rates,
with 477.4 to 495.9 cases per
100,000 people.
Each and every person, wheth-
er direct or indirect, has been
affected by cancer, said Karina
Garlington, a senior outside hit-
ter. The team
looks forward
to it. It holds
a lot of signifi-
cance to us.
Carmi chael
isnt the only
team member
who has been
affected by
cancer. Garlingtons grandmother
is a breast cancer survivor.
Its been something that my
family and me have had to deal
with, she said. I do everything to
help and support the cause.
Lauren Hagan, a junior out-
side hitter, said the team was very
excited to give back to the com-
munity via Jayhawks for a Cure
and to bring about a greater can-
cer awareness.
Carmichael calls her brother
her hero, right behind her mom.
Seeing him makes me view life
differently, she said. That I can
wake up and be healthy and be
able to come do something that
I love.
Ultimately, a larger-than-life
inspiration has made Saturdays
game about more than volleyball.
Were not playing only for our
goals, but now for millions and
millions of people, Garlington
said.

Proving
coaches
wrong
isnt easy
T
he coaches preseason
poll that came out this
week tabbed Kansas to
finish second in the Big 12.
Dont think the Jayhawks
didnt notice.
Bill Self is a master of find-
ing a way to get teams to play
with a chip on their shoulder.
Even last year, when everyone
from Dick Vitale to Barack
Obama had the Jayhawks
pegged as the national title
favorite, players talked about
disrespect or getting over-
looked.
God only knows how they
came up with that, but they
did.
This year, the Big 12 coaches
provided the Jayhawks with
all the fuel they need. All that
remains is for them to light
the fire.
Proving the coaches wrong,
though, will be no easy task.
Theres a reason Kansas only
got two of the 12 first place
votes (one of those from
Frank Martin of Kansas State,
who couldnt vote for his own
team). Its because the Wildcats
are a heck of a basketball team
this year.
K-State is the team that, on
paper, should win the Big 12.
If I had a vote, they just might
get it. The Wildcats are an
Elite Eight team from last year.
They lost Denis Clemente and
Dominique Sutton but added
four-star small forward Nino
Williams and junior college
transfer Freddy Asprilla along
with a pair of other three-star
recruits. And Jacob Pullen is
still arguably the best guard
in the Big 12 even more so,
with LaceDarius Dunn sus-
pended indefinitely.
Jamar Samuels was the best
sixth man in the league last
year and has the versatility
to step outside on the wing.
Curtis Kelly put up a solid
12 points and six boards per
game last year, and Wally Judge
showed flashes of brilliance
as a freshman. Put that all
together, and add Asprilla, and
the Wildcats have what some
people are calling the best
frontcourt in the Big 12.
Of course, Jayhawks
sophomore forward Thomas
Robinson doesnt think that.
I say weve got the best
frontcourt in the country, he
said. I honestly believe that
and until somebody changes
my mind, I wont think differ-
ent.
Robinson said hes heard the
talk that Kansas State might
have the best frontcourt in the
country. He knows they were
picked to finish the Big 12.
And I wouldnt be surprised
if he has January 29 at Allen
Fieldhouse and February 14
at Kansas State circled on the
calendar already.
I cant wait for it, he said,
with a smile creasing his face.
Im looking forward to that
game a lot, actually.

Even though fencing is not
very well-known in the Midwest,
the KU Fencing Club sees new
faces every practice.
We have about 15 members
on average, said Alan Ginsberg,
a senior from Great Neck, N.Y.,
and club president said. We have
as old as 28 years old and gradu-
ate students and freshmen that
come in.
Fencing is not very popular on
college campuses, but its a sport
that is very familiar to Ginsberg.
Ive been
fencing ever
since I was
about 12 or
13, he said.
We had a fam-
ily friend who
was very into
fencing, and I
heard about it
and how could
I not want
to play with
swords?
The fencing team accepts stu-
dents who have experience as
well as students who have no
experience, like Melinda Mah, a
freshman from Topeka.
Ive been playing just a few
weeks, maybe a month. Im really
new.
The fencing team practices
three times a week for two hours.
The first 15 to 20 minutes
we usually just warm up or we
just run. Then for the next 10
minutes we do footwork, because
footwork is essential to fencing,
Ginsberg said.
What you do before practice
can also be important.
I make sure to arrive at least
ten minutes early so I can stretch
because we usually dont have
time to stretch, Mah said. After
warming up and working on
footwork, the players have prac-
tice matches. After those are over,
they clean up
and get ready
to head home.
Even though
they practice
as a team, the
sport is mainly
based on indi-
viduals.
We com-
pete more on
an individual
basis in dif-
ferent tourna-
ments, Ginsberg said. He said
that the fencing team does not
compete in Big 12 play.
Theres actually not a strong
division in the Midwest, he
said. Its not like Kansas ver-
sus K-State. Different universities
and clubs hold tournaments and
everyone is invited.
The players are very excited
about this year and have high
hopes, especially Mah.
I would love to be able to be
in a tournament, she said. Im
really excited.
The fencing teams first tourna-
ment was Saturday Oct. 2.
get involved with the KU fencing clUb
when: Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m.
where: Robinson Center, room 216
coSt: $25 per semester, which includes foor time, use of
equipment and instruction.
