Beware Halloween sweet tooth

When Zach Zastrow went to
enroll in classes for the spring
semester, he had a hold on his ac-
count from the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences. He tried to fnd
information about it, but anything
he found was too vague.
Zastrow is one of 2700 seniors
who had a hold placed on their ac-
counts on Sept. 28. Students who
were given the hold have complet-
ed 90 hours or more, excluding
the hours they are currently tak-
ing. Students who are graduating
this semester and have applied for
graduation did not receive a hold.
Tis is the frst year the college is
placing this particular hold.
So far it hasnt been a great ex-
perience and Ive missed my en-
rollment by a few days, said Zas-
trow, a senior from Overland Park.
A lot of classes Im trying to get
into, you have to get permission
codes for them and theyre small
classes and competitive.
Kim McNeley, assistant dean for
student academic services for the
college, said she felt the hold was
the best way to catch students at-
tention if their graduation plans
were not on track.
We just want to make sure you
are making those last, fnal deci-
sions, McNeley
said.
Te holds are
the colleges at-
tempt to assess
and communi-
cate students
progress and
status to ensure
a timely gradua-
tion. Te efort is
part of the Uni-
versitys overall
goal to increase graduation rates.
Its also the colleges response to
the overwhelmingly high percent
of students being denied gradua-
tion over the last several years.
Weve had really disappointing
graduation numbers, McNeley
said.
McNeley said that in the past,
up to 24 percent of students were
denied graduation because they
didnt meet the degree require-
ments. McNeley said the number
is still at about 18 percent despite
increased communication eforts
through e-mail to encourage stu-
dents to do an early audit the se-
mester before
graduation.
Administra-
tors have said
they hope the
status check
with gradua-
tion advisers
will lower those
numbers.
If were
sharing in this
r e s pons i bi l -
ity, we cant keep doing the same
thing and expecting a diferent
outcome, McNeley said.
Students who received the hold
were sent an e-mail notifying them
of an academic notice available at
the kyou portal. Students then are
required to complete a survey as
the frst step in getting the hold re-
moved. Te survey walks students
through a review of their ARTS
form.
If there are any hours that didnt
transfer or numbers that dont
match up, students will be alerted
that they they may not graduate as
expected.
Out of about 2700 holds, 1300
students have responded. McNe-
ley said 400 of those students have
needed appointments with gradu-
ation advisors.
A few weeks ago, Josh Finnicum
received the notifcation for the
hold and said it hasnt really af-
fected his enrollment.
Overall, its not bad, Finnicum
said. Its just kind of a pain in the
ass and more to deal with.
Finnicum, a senior from Omaha,
Neb., did have to make an appoint-
ment to get the hold removed.
Lauren McEnaney, a graduate
advisor, said she hasnt heard of
any problems and most of the stu-
dents she has met with have been
appreciative.

This Halloween, students probably wont be walk-
ing the streets trick-or-treating for fun-sized Kit Kats,
Nerds, Butterfingers and Milky Ways, but odds are
theyll still be snacking on some.
According to the National Confectioners Association,
more candy is sold on Oct. 31 than any other day in the
year.
Halloween is the only time of year when I eat a
shit-ton of candy, said Forrest Woods, a senior from
Wichita.
But that could creep up on students in terms of
calories and fat.
Ann Chapman, dietitian at the Wellness
Resource Center at Watkins Memorial
Health Center, said she thought peo-
ple dont realize how many calories
were in fun-size bars.
They often underestimate,
she said.
For example, one fun-size Butterfinger
candy bar has 100 calories and 4 grams
of fat. A fun-size Snickers has 72 calo-
ries and 3.7 grams of fat.
The problem can be when people
grab two or three fun-size bars at a
time, Chapman said.
It really adds up, she said.
Lesley Ballinger, a junior from
Winchester, said she tried to look
at serving suggestions sizes so she
was aware of what she was eat-
ing.
She also recommended that
students skip candies they dont
like as well to allow themselves
to indulge in candies they
love.
Dont eat candy just to be eating it, she said.
Choose your two or three favorites and really
enjoy them.

Students report a
man masturbating
Two students reported to
the ku Public safety Ofce at
about 2 p.m. monday that a man
was looking at sexually explicit
websites and masturbating in a
computer lab on the fourth foor
of Watson Library.
Two friends, dylan kingsley,
a senior from kansas city, kan.,
and emily Preheim, a junior from
Overland Park, were using the
lab at the same time as the man.
kingsley said she was sitting
with her back turned to the man
and her friend, Preheim, was
sitting on the computer next to
him. Preheim and the man were
separated by a pillar.
I turn to look at her, and I
see that a kids looking at porn,
kingsley said. right next to her.
kingsley said she called Pre-
heim to tell her. They used calls
and texts to discuss what the
man was doing, and what they
should do next.

mander of the Public safety
Ofce, and capt. schuyler bailey,
its spokesperson, declined to

HICKORY, N.C. The father of a
missing 10-year-old disabled girl was
arrested Monday on several charges unre-
lated to the girls disappearance, joining
his wife who has been in custody for
two weeks as investigators unsuccessfully
searched wooded areas and a landfill.
Police believe Zahra Baker, who was
reported missing Oct. 9, is dead. She
uses hearing aids and has a prosthetic leg
because of bone cancer.
Her father, Adam Baker, 33, is facing
one count each of assault with a dead-
ly weapon and failure to return rental
property; two counts of communicating
threats and five counts of writing worth-
less checks.
The timing of his arrest raises ques-
tions because the charges against him
were filed over the last few months.
Hickory Police Chief Tom Adkins had
said authorities delayed taking action
because he was cooperating with police.
It was unclear if he was still cooperat-
ing. A telephone message left for Adkins
was not immediately returned.
Baker, who is from Australia, was being
held in a western North Carolina jail
on $7,000 bond, Hickory police spokes-
woman Libby Grigg said. It was not clear
if he had an attorney.
The girls stepmother, Elisa Baker, is
at the same jail, facing charges including
obstruction of justice. Police said she
admitted writing a bogus ransom note
found at the scene of a fire in the familys
back yard on the day Zahra was reported
missing.
Police have said they think some-
one killed the girl, but have not found
her body and havent charged anyone
with killing her. A three-day search of a
nearby landfill last week failed to turn up
any evidence.
Police had been looking for a mattress
that belonged to Zahra that may have
been disposed of in the days before her
disappearance was reported.

Potter Lakes waters hid
mysterious time capsule
BY JUSTINE PATTON
jpatton@kansan.com
Many students turn to hot,
steamy coffee drinks to warm
them up and wake them up dur-
ing chilly fall mornings. But these
yummy drinks may do more than
give an energy boost they can
also add hundreds of calories to
someones diet before its even time
for breakfast. A peppermint white
chocolate mocha from Starbucks,
for example, has 470 calories in it.
Chance Harmon, a senior from
Caney, said he drinks coffee almost
every day.
I like the taste of it. I grew up
on it, and, you know, it gives you
that extra little jolt in the morn-
ing, Harmon said.
Harmon said he pays atten-
tion to the number of calories in
his daily coffee drinks, and thats
why his drink of choice is usu-
ally black coffee or a latte. An
8-ounce cup of black coffee is
only about 2 calories and actu-
ally contains some health benefits.
Ann Chapman, the dietitian at
the Wellness Resource Center in
Watkins Memorial Health Center,
said the caffeine in coffee could
increase alertness. Also, research-
ers have found the antioxidants in
the beverage may actually be good
for the heart.
Black coffee is also cheaper
than most flavored coffee drinks.
However, not everyone is a fan of
a straight cup of jo.
Miltons employee Vanessa Peza
said students could enjoy a fla-
vored drink and reduce calories
at the same time. Generally, the
fewer ingredients the baristas add
to the coffee, the fewer calories.
Not adding a lot of flavors is
going to be more beneficial to
your waistline, Peza said.
Chapman also said ordering
drinks with nonfat milk could not
only lower fat intake but add cal-
cium to students diets as well.
Chapman said this was important
because many college students fail
to get enough calcium each day.
A skinny latte has about 200
milligrams of calcium, Chapman
said. Thats not as much as a cup
of milk, but its pretty close.
Chapman also suggested not
adding extra creamers to the drink
after its made and saying no to
whipped cream.

Its not determined how long
the memories have been at the
bottom of Potter Lake on cam-
pus, but a time capsule was
one of many items discovered
during this years dredging. So
far, the only clues to the identi-
ties of the capsules creators are
the names James, Barb and
Allison, which were written on
photographs included within the
tube.
The time capsule, found by
the Design and Construction
Management team, also includ-
ed a bottle of wine, letters and a
reference to a favorite bartender
at G. Willikers Bar. All the items
were found inside a tube on the
East side of the lake. This is
the only recorded time capsule
found in Potters Lake.
Jim Modig, Director of Design
and Construction Management,
said he hoped to discover more
information about the time cap-
sule.
We know that the Alumni
Association is going to be put-
ting out an article that will get
national distribution, Modig
said. It will be interesting to see
if the people who were associat-
ed with putting the time capsule
get in contact the University.
Modig said there is still one
piece left to recover from the
time capsule. They plan on
recovering the piece once the
lakes debris settles. Its assumed
that James, Barb and Alison are
names of former KU students.
Its also assumed that capsule
was placed sometime between
Potter Lakes last dredging in
1957 and now.

Car broadsides bus,
kills pedestrian
LOS ANGeLeS Two people in
a black bMW on Monday ran a red
light, hit and killed a pedestrian
and broadsided a school bus that
fipped on its side, leaving the bus
driver and 18 high school students
injured, authorities said.
The two people fed on foot
from the busy intersection in
boyle Heights, east of downtown
Los Angeles, and were caught by
a construction worker, who held
them until police arrived and de-
tained them, Police Chief Charlie
beck said at a news conference.
The bus driver was initially
taken to a hospital in critical con-
dition but later was upgraded to
serious condition, authorities said.
eighteen high school students on
the bus also were taken to hos-
pitals with non-life-threatening
injuries.
The bus fipped at about 3:20
p.m. as the roosevelt High School
students were heading back to
school from the east Los Angeles
Skills Center, where they attend
classes because of overcrowding.
Students began helping each
other out of the bus through
windows and emergency exits.
The crash site was just a few
blocks from a police and a fre
station, and dozens of ofcers
and frefghters were at the scene
within minutes.
They were here almost im-
mediately,Los Angeles Mayor
Antonio Villaraigosa.
eleven fre companies, eight
ambulances, two fre battalion
command units, one air ambu-
lance and one heavy rescue unit
responded to the crash.
AssociatedPress
For the 700 students who did
not need appointments, the hold
was removed within 48 hours.
Maybe as enrollment dates
open they may be more upset
that they cant meet their en-
rollment date, McEnaney said.
But most of the time theyre
like Wow, I didnt know those
hours didnt transfer.
Kevin Neslage, a senior from
Wichita, said he took the survey
and got the hold removed before
his enrollment times.
Neslage said its a little extra
hassle for students who are on
track, but he personally experi-
enced no problems. Neslage said
he does believe it is more of the
students responsibility to fg-
ure these kinds of things out for
themselves.
1400 students still need to
take the survey.
We dont want to postpone
their enrollment, McNeley
said. All of the efort is to get
students moving and making
sure that everyone is making the
best, timely decisions.

album
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Three albums into her wildly
popular, multi-platinum and glob-
ally successful career, Taylor Swift
is still settling scores.
Either the 20-year-old singer-
songwriter is terrifically thin-
skinned or cant bring herself to
write about anything aside from her
romantic travails, but the woman
scorned shtick is becoming quite
tiresome.
With every new Swift song, a
breathless round of speculation
Who incurred her wrath? Will she
name names? How many fellas have
really wronged her? obscures the
truth about Taylor.
While she has an admitted knack
for melody and, very infrequently, a
finely wrought turn of phrase sug-
gesting depth beyond boy-hating,
Swift has been turning out varia-
tions on the same theme (teenage
love soured by melodrama) that
first catapulted her to fame. Speak
Now, her latest studio effort, is no
different.
The latest single, Dear John,
has already set tabloid tongues
wagging, as its a song supposed-
ly about her brief dalliance with
Mr. Sexual Napalm himself, John
Mayer, whose most clever flourish
vaguely bluesy guitar licks aping
Mayers penchant for same isnt
lyrical.

Question 2 can protect
against unfair language
CiviL LiBerTies
F
or years the University
and the city have talked
about increasing lighting in
high-trafc areas, and although
some work has
been done, there
is still room for
improvement.
Both the
University and
the city have a lot
of things to worry
about and a lot of
things to budget
for, but student
safety should not
be pushed down
on the list.
In a Univer-
sity Campus
Plan released in
1997, it was proposed to add the
extension of improved lighting to
include routes taken by pedestri-
ans traveling to and from campus,
perhaps in cooperation with the
city or other funding agencies.
Although some areas are pretty
dark, including some around
campus and some around popular
student
hang outs
such as Te
Wheel and
Te Hawk,
the dorms
and other
more better
lit areas
should not
be the site of
pedestrian-
car injuries,
such as the
incident last
week where
a student
was struck by a car on Daisy Hill.
Student safety is not just at the
hands of ofcials and planners. If
there are crosswalks, pedestrians
need to use them and motorists
need to have extra caution around
them. With people constantly
walking around and popping out
of seemingly nowhere on Daisy
Hill and around the bars, inat-
tentive driving and walking will
inevitably get someone hurt.
If you are driving around these
known dangerous areas, slow
down and look around, if you are
walking, (or stumbling as the case
may be) make sure to be aware that
you cant always be seen, especially
at night. We are too young to have
our lives ruined by stupid deci-
sions.
Although the University and the
city need to do what they can to
increase student safety, ultimately
it is the students responsibility to
watch out and make good deci-
sions.

ediTOriAL BOArd
I wont pretend that I wasnt
horrifed by the article that
appeared in Te Kansan about
my rental business. Publishing an
article without making attempts
to contact the person whom the
article concerns is unprofessional.
Te article is riddled with
misleading and downright
incorrect information.
A security deposit is certainly
not a 13th months rent. Security
deposits, as my leases state, are
used to clean and repair dirty,
damaged houses. Unfortunately
for both Mr. Markowitz and
myself, he and his housemates
lef his house in a truly flthy state
when they moved out at the end
of the rental year. It was not just a
few dust balls, it was a years worth
of ingrained dirt, including an
unplugged fridge in the basement
full of rotting meat and maggots.
Believe me, I would much prefer
to have given Markowitz back his
money, and not had to spend any
of his security deposit on paying
people to clean flth. When renters
leave their houses in good shape
and we dont have to spend time
and energy on cleaning them, to
no proft of our own, everyone is
much happier. At the beginning of
the contract, our representative will
walk renters through a house, and
we (renter and landlord) make a
list of its condition. On return the
house is expected to be in the same
clean condition, with no more than
normal living wear and tear.
Our rentals are a very far cry
from some of the claims made in
Te Kansans article. In fact, we
put a great deal of time, efort and
money into making sure the houses
stay well cared for and remain in
good condition. Why else would
two-thirds of our houses be already
rented in advance for next year?
Quotes attributed to Markowitz
that the City of Lawrence inspector
Mr. Jimenez found only three
occupants at 1736 Louisiana St.
are incorrect. What Mr. Jimenez,
who said he was doing a safety
inspection (and found no safety
violations) discovered in 2008
was a second dwelling unit, with
a kitchen. Single-family zoning
allows three occupants per
dwelling unit. Tis would be a
total of six individuals in the case
of 1736 Lousiana St. No statement
was made about how many people
were living in the structure. What
was acknowledged during that
inspection was that the house had
more than three unrelated persons
living there. Afer inspecting the
second unit, which appeared
vintage and original, Mr. Jimenez
said that if it could be proved
that the second dwelling unit
was legally allowed, then 1736
Louisiana St. had the rights of a
legally non-conforming property
in a single family zoned area.
Currently, the city attorney is
reviewing the historic evidence of a
multiple family legally conforming
house in the 1940s up until today.
A building permit issued by the
City of Lawrence in 1963 for a
second dwelling unit is on fle as a
public record.
Te law afrms the right of a
property to be grandfathered
if its use predates zoning. A
grandfather clause is an
exception that allows an old rule to
continue to apply to some existing
situations, when a new rule will
apply to all future situations.
Te City cannot enforce a code
retroactively. Te Lawrence Land
Development Code (efective July
1, 2006) states that: ... all rights
to continuance, maintenance,
or repair of the nonconforming
use shall be allowed regardless of
registration as a nonconforming
use.
And just in case anyone is
wondering, because the reporter
chose to leave it out, the bat was
promptly removed from the house
(and relocated to a safe place)
within half an hour of the frst
phone call.

Its easy to assume that KU football will be horrible forever, as it
was during the dregs of the Terry Allen years. But, to borrow a quote
from ultramarathoning, It never always gets worse. Things might
get better. They might get worse. But in all likelihood, both are going
to happen.

Personally I think a large part of sexual orientation revolves
around culture. Change the culture, and you change the norms. For
instance, if you examine prisons or other places with all male or
all-female populations, you will see homosexuality rates skyrocket.
Clearly, that is not a case of being born one way, but raised a
certain way due to culture - and when that changes, so can lots of
things.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
I
n the upcoming election,
citizens will vote on a
referendum (question 2)
to remove the language in the
state constitution that allows
legislation denying voting rights
to a person based on a diagnosis
of mental illness.
A vote of yes on this
referendum, question 2, is a step
toward getting rid of the stigma
associated with mental illness.
Any such legislation would
infringe on the civil rights of
many Kansas residents who
are fully able to participate in
elections. Te fact that this
encroachment is expressly
permissible by the constitution is
worrisome at best.
Question 2 is a nonpartisan
issue; gubernatorial candidates
Sam Brownback and Tom
Holland have both endorsed the
amendment striking the words
mental illness from Article 5,
Section 2.
Tis clause does not defne
mental illness any further than
those words. As such a broad
term, it could encompass
illnesses such as depression,
bipolar disorder, post-traumatic
stress disorder, and attention
defcit hyperactivity disorder. Te
current language, which includes
these illnesses, is a social injustice
to those who have mental
disorders but are still functioning
members of society.
Te above mentioned are
very common disorders. Te
Protect Voting Rights website
(the campaign endorsing a vote
of yes on question 2) says that
one in fve Kansas residents sufer
from a mental illness.
Te constitution does not
provide the legislature the right
to restrict voting based on, say,
I.Q. or a test on knowledge of
current issues. Te idea that
mental health is singled out is
a signifcant elucidation of the
societal attitude toward these
disorders.
Most obviously, the
constitutional provision
discriminates against people
based on a health diagnosis.
Equally important, though, is
the texts reinforcement of the
negative connotation associated
with mental illness.
Te text of this clause groups
together criminals and the
mentally ill, as if those with
mental illnesses have committed
a crime against the state. Tis
exclusion from voting could be
viewed as a type of punishment,
further perpetuating the stigma
that comes with mental illness.
Kansan editor-in-chief Alex
Garrison recently wrote a
poignant opinion piece urging
everyone to recognize the
struggles endured by those
sufering from mental illness
and to treat them with respect
and consideration. I, too, believe
that, as Garrison pointed out, an
open discussion will bring about
positive change in dialogues on
mental health.
Another way is to acknowledge
that those dealing with illnesses
such as PTSD or ADD are
capable individuals, just like
everyone else, and are adequately
competent to exercise the right
to vote.
Tis referendum can and
should serve as a vehicle for
initiating conversations about
mental illness. We should take
this as an opportunity to refect
on how we view mental disorders
and what we can do to help those
dealing with them.

An editorial that appeared in the Oct. 20 edition of The Kansan,
Hazing code needs more clarity, insinuated that an investiga-
tion into possible hazing at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity
following the death of KU student Jason Wren in March 2009 was
not conducted by the University. However, according to Marlesa
Roney, Vice Provost for Student Success, interviews with residents
were conducted after the death to determine if hazing was in-
volved. No evidence of hazing was found.

Canadian terrorist leader
receives 16-year sentence
BY SARA SNEATH
editor@kansan.com
With an ever-growing number
of Spanish speakers in the United
States, some students wonder why
the Spanish Department does not
offer a Spanish minor. But a local
community church has stepped in
to fill the gap.
Twice a week, budding Spanish
speakers of all ages gather in a class-
room at Plymouth Community
Church, 925 Vermont St., to learn
and practice the second-most
commonly spoken language in the
United States.
Last year, Plymouth Church
started offering English classes
aimed at the Spanish speaking
community. Yet what they found
was an equal number of English
speakers want-
ing to learn
Spanish.
L i z
Westlander, the
class coordina-
tor, said many
people have
been interested
in the classes.
There are
people from all
over church members, com-
munity members, students and
retirees, she said.
The class is now in its sec-
ond session it began in August
and ends in December and the
church has added an intermediate
level.
Ac c or di ng
to KU Spanish
and Portuguese
advising spe-
cialist Britta
Ernst, the
Spanish depart-
ment has never
offered a minor
nor does it
intend to soon.
Department chair Stuart Day said
that the department did not have
sufficient resources right now to
offer a Spanish minor.
While there are many creative
ways for personal practice
such as reading childrens books
in Spanish, watching films with
Spanish subtitles and listening to
Spanish radio there are fewer
options for conversational prac-
tice, especially for those with shal-
low pockets.
For students who want to learn
Spanish without majoring in
it, Plymouths classes are a via-
ble option. The class meets on
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7
to 8 p.m. Tuesday classes focus
on grammar and vocabulary and
Thursday classes focus on con-
versations with a native Spanish
speaker. Plymouth asks for a $35
to $50 donation for 18 classes
and members are welcome to start
and stop at any time during the
session.
Day said that a task force is
reviewing the possibility of a
Spanish minor in the future.

ASSociATEd PRESS
BRAMPTON, Ontario The
ringleader of a homegrown ter-
rorist group was sentenced
Monday to 16 years in prison for
leading a terror cell plotting to
attack Canadas Parliament build-
ings, electrical grids and nuclear
stations.
Fahim Ahmad had pleaded
guilty in May mid-trial to par-
ticipating in a terrorist group,
importing firearms and instruct-
ing his co-accused to carry out an
activity for a terrorist group.
Ahmad and 17 others were
arrested and charged with terror-
ism offenses in 2006. The group
became known as the Toronto
18.
The court heard that Ahmad,
26, was the leader of a terror
cell and held two training camps
to assess his recruits suitability.
Under his direction, plans were
made to attack nuclear stations
and storm Parliament, taking poli-
ticians hostage until Canada gave
in to his demands to pull troops
from Afghanistan.
Ontario Superior Court of
Justice Fletcher Dawson ruled that
even though Ahmad was the lead-
er of the plot and the person who
tried to put together an al-Qaida-
type cell, he was not effective at
it and was never close to actually
carrying out any of his threatened
attacks.
Dawson awarded Ahmad dou-
ble credit for the four years he has
already spent in custody, meaning
the justice system will consider
he has already served more than
eight years of his sentence. He will
be eligible for parole in another 3
1/2 years.
In his reasons for the sentence,
Ontario Superior Court of Justice
Fletcher Dawson said he took into
account Ahmad has no previ-
ous criminal record, and shows
remorse.
I am not dealing with some-
one who remains openly defiant,
Dawson said. Perhaps Im only
optimistic, but I see prospects of
rehabilitation.
Ahmad was emotionless as the
judge read his decision, but later
turned around to smile at support-
ers gathered in the courtroom. He
declined to say anything before
being sentenced.
The prosecution had suggested
18 years to life in prison, while the
defense asked for about 12 years.
Outside the Brampton, Ontario
courtroom, prosecution lawyer
Croft Michaelson said he was
pleased with the sentence. Weve
sent out a strong signal to the com-
munity that these type of offenses
will not be tolerated in Canada,
and it reflects the seriousness of
the crime, he said.

Ninja-inspired murder suspect on trial for leading attack
AssociAted Press
PENSACOLA, Fla. Jury selec-
tion began Monday in the trial of a
karate instructor charged with lead-
ing a group of armed men dressed
as ninjas in robbing the home of a
wealthy couple and killing the pair
as their nine special-needs children
cowered or slept nearby.
Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr., 36,
could get the death penalty if con-
victed of organizing the break-in at
Byrd and Melanie Billings home in
a rural area near Pensacola on the
night of July 9, 2009.
Gonzalez wore arm and leg
chains as he was brought into
the court Monday morning. His
defense attorneys asked that their
desks be moved so that the rough-
ly 200 potential jurors would not
see the chains. Sheriff s deputies
later removed the his wrist chains.
Gonzalez has also been charged
with attacking another inmate in
jail with a pencil.
Prosecutor Bill Eddins said he
expects jury selection to take about
two days.
Two of Gonzalezs co-defendants
are scheduled to testify against
him, Eddins said. But he said none
of the young children who were in
the home the night of the slayings
are expected to testify about what
they saw that night.
Prosecutors say the couple was
killed during a botched attempt
to steal a cash-filled safe. Their
adopted children were not physi-
cally harmed in the attack.
Seven co-defendants have been
charged with first-degree mur-
der. Several could testify against
Gonzalez and name him as the
man who fatally shot Byrd Billings
and his wife.
Defense attorneys on Monday
told potential jurors that Gonzalez
was a married father of six and
a longtime karate instructor who
grew up learning martial arts at a
karate studio owned by his stepfa-
ther and mother.
Several potential jurors said they
did not feel comfortable deciding
if Gonzalez should live or die. One
man told the court that he felt
strongly the death penalty was a
waste of taxpayers money because
of the lengthy appeal process.
Gonzalezs attorneys have
asked Circuit Judge Nicholas
Geeker to move the trial out of
Pensacola. They say extensive
local and national media coverage
has tainted the jury pool. They
point to national appearances by
the slain couples adult daughter
on The Oprah Winfrey Show
and by Escambia County Sheriff
David Morgan on CNN and other
national television shows.
But Geeker ruled earlier this
month that he must first try to seat
a jury from his Panhandle circuit
of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Oklaoosa
and Walton counties before con-
sidering relocating the trial.
Among the evidence expected to
be submitted at the two-week trial
is surveillance video taken from
the sprawling home the night of
the killings. The shadowy, time-
lapse video shows armed intrud-
ers dressed in black barging into
the couples living room. Melanie
Billings is seen protectively grab-
bing what appears to be a child.
The Billingses were fatally shot
in their bedroom, where there
were no video cameras. A safe that
was taken from the familys home
contained nothing of value, but a
second safe that wasnt stolen had
$164,000 in cash, court records
show.
According to autopsy reports,
Melanie Billings, 43, was shot twice
in her chest, and in the face and
head. Byrd Billings, 66, was shot
multiple times in the head and
legs.
The crime scene photos doc-
ument dozens of bullet holes
throughout the living room and
bedroom and a trail of blood along
the living room floor.
In his initial interview with
investigators, Gonzalez suggested a
group of car dealers with a grudge
against Byrd Billings wanted him
whacked.
Gonzalez also told investigators
that he and one of Byrd Billings
grown sons, Justin, had worked
together as enforcers to get pay-
ments from people who had got-
ten behind. His attorney, John Jay
Gontarek, did not return calls seek-
ing comment.
The nine children in the home,
all between the ages of 4 and 11 at
the time of break-in, have varying
special needs ranging from Down
syndrome to fetal alcohol syn-
drome and autism.
The silent surveillance video
footage from the childrens bed-
rooms shows two of children
remaining still during the break-
in. A third child is in her bedroom
alone when the attackers arrive,
and their van can be seen through
her window. The girl walks to the
window and appears to watch the
men enter. The girl then gets back
in the bed and pulls the covers
around her. She gets up a second
time before returning to bed and
putting her head on the pillow as
the tape ends.
Previously released records of
interviews by sheriff s investigators
show that one child told investi-
gators that he heard a knock on
the door and that two bad men
said, Youre going to die, one, two,
three and then, no way, no way.
The records show that child was
sleeping in his parents bed when
they were killed.
The Billingses adult daughter
told Winfrey that she and her hus-
band are raising the children in the
home where their parents died.

Jayhawks fall 2-1 in overtime after leading game during the frst half
BY JACKSON DELAY
jdelay@kansan.com
Kansas ended its Big 12 play
yesterday by losing to Colorado
2-1 in overtime. Kansas led from
the start, scoring the fastest goal
in team history. Senior Kaitlyn
Cunningham assisted freshman
Caroline Kastor, who recorded her
third goal of the year in just 19
seconds of play. Cunningham gave
Kastor a long pass down the right
side of the field off of the kickoff
and Kastor was able to beat the
goalkeeper.
Later in the half, Kansas let a
good opportunity slip by when
sophomore Whitney Berry was
fouled in the penalty box. Berrys
penalty kick was blocked by
the Colorado goalie to keep the
Buffaloes within one goal.
Kansas lead at half 1-0, but
Colorado tied the game after a
scramble in front of the net during
the 75th minute.
Two minutes and 55 seconds
into overtime, Colorados Anne
Stuller placed a shot in the top
right corner of the net from 18
yards away to give Colorado its
third win in Big 12 play.
Sophomore Kat Liebetrau
grabbed 11 saves to bring her sea-

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
SEATTLE Tere remain a lot
of lingering questions about whats
in the future for the Washington
Huskies as they pick up the pieces
afer Saturdays 44-14 loss to Ari-
zona.
Whats not in doubt is whether
quarterback Jake Locker will see
the feld this upcoming Saturday
when Stanford comes to Husky
Stadium.
Ill be able to play, the quarter-
back said confdently when he met
with the media Monday.
Locker later took part in much of
Mondays non-contract practice, af-
ter which Washington coach Steve
Sarkisian said on his radio show
that Locker looked better than he
had the previous two Mondays.
Locker is sufering from a thigh
bruise sufered against Arizona
State, and sore ribs incurred against
Oregon State. While there has been
speculation he may have at least
one broken rib, Sarkisian denied
that, saying fatly no, when asked
that question. Whatever the case,
Locker admitted Monday that his
ribs are pretty sore, an injury the
Huskies tried to keep quiet last
week. For the second straight week
last week, Locker was limited in
practice, participating fully only on
Tursday.
Sarkisian said he hopes Locker
will be able to do more this week.
He was better than he was last
week, Sarkisian said before prac-
tice of how Locker came out of the
game. Hopefully we foresee him
practicing earlier in the week than
he did last week to get him a few
more reps.
Locker said he also hoped to do
more this week, saying Ill just
take it day to day.
Locker said he was close to 90
percent during the Arizona game,
and that the only real limitation
was running the ball, specifcally
up the middle, where he would be
more prone to hits.
Sarkisian said the injuries con-
tained what the Huskies could do,
however, though he added thats
not the reason we lost the game.
Indeed, Locker led the Huskies
on two scoring drives in the frst
22 minutes of the game but simply
couldnt keep up with Arizonas of-
fensive onslaught as the Wildcats
gained 356 yards in the frst half.
Still, Lockers injuries have led
some to wonder if the Huskies
wouldnt be better of going with
backup Keith Price, a redshirt fresh-
man, if Locker remained limited.
Sarkisian said simply no, that
for now, Washingtons best chances
rest with Locker at quarterback.
Te injuries, however, have
helped contribute to a senior sea-
son that so far hasnt developed
quite the way anyone envisioned
when Locker decided in December
to return.
UW is fghting just to stay alive
for a bowl berth at 3-4 and now fac-
ing Stanford and Oregon maybe
the two best teams in the Pac-10
the next two weeks.
Locker ranks eighth in the Pac-
10 in passing efciency in the at
131.4 per game.

Early season hope disappoints
I
scoured underneath the
tree searching for any tags
that read To: Jackson. I
scanned the presents, look-
ing for a particular shape that
would fit the gift I was looking
for. My eyes flew from one box
to the next, and finally, there
it was. I picked up the pack-
age and started feeling it to
make sure it was what I was
hoping for, a Brian Urlacher
jersey. After closely examining
the package, I was positive on
Christmas morning I would be
donning a No. 54 jersey. I went
around for the next couple
weeks telling my friends how
psyched I was that I was going
to get the jersey I wanted.
Christmas morning came
and I was excited, to say the
least. After watching everyone
else open presents, it was final-
ly my turn to open my soon-to-
be prized possession.
I grasped the perfectly
wrapped gift and tore the paper
to shreds to reveal what I had
been waiting weeks to see.
Sweaters?
My parents had given me
two sweaters that cruelly felt
like a jersey when wrapped. I
threw on my best fake smile
and said, Thanks, although I
would have liked to say a lot of
other words.
I feel like this year
Kansas football has
given me sweaters.
I would have never
expected a jersey on
Christmas morning,
if it would have
been wrapped
in a box and
disguised
instead of just
wrapped in wrapping paper.
I could have guessed, but I
wouldnt have had the same
hope.
Likewise, with a new coach
and a dismal season last year,
I didnt expect a great season
from Kansas in football this
year, especially after the first
game. However, the Jayhawks
had to follow that humiliating
loss with a win over a ranked
team. They had to win a game
that resulted in me, and most
of the student body, storm-
ing the field; a win that truly
sparked an excitement in me
for the football team that wasnt
there before.
The Kansas football players
did something by upsetting
Georgia Tech that they cant
take back: they gave fans hope.
By showing how hard, and at
times how well they can play,
Kansas gave the fans fool-
ish hope that had everyone
remembering when
the Jayhawks made
their storied run to
the Orange Bowl.
So there was the
hope, sitting underneath the
tree, waiting for conference
play. Finally the day came, a
road game against Baylor for a
Kansas team still trying to earn
respect. I think we all know
how the rest of the story goes,
so Id rather not go into details.
Kansas followed that with
uninspiring performances
against rival Kansas State and
Big 12 foe Texas A&M. The
illogical hope that Kansas will
perform as well as they did in
week two still enters my mind
each week, no matter how hard
I try to rationalize with it. For
some reason, even though I
know the odds are stacked
against the Jayhawks, this hope
makes me think one of these
games they will return to their
electrifying form and win a
Big 12 game. By knocking off
Georgia Tech early in the sea-
son, the players gave the fans a
standard to hold the team up
to, one that was too high, and
that they have failed to achieve.
At least for now, this hope is
still stuck in my head. However,
if Kansas doesnt start compet-
ing, I wonder how long the
student body and myself will
still believe that the magic from
that second game can come
back to Memorial Stadium.
And if it can, how long will we
have to wait?

Questions arise for World Series
associateD Press
How hot has Cody Ross
been?
So hot youd swear he had been
traded to the Texas Rangers.
In a postseason built around
outstanding pitching perfor-
mances, the Rangers have been
the only team to consistently
put runs on the board. They
turned in the only double-digit
performance of these playoffs in
Game 4 of the American League
Championship Series and were
held under five runs only three
times twice by Tampa Bay in
the division series and once by
the Yankees in the ALCS.
Given the Giants trouble
scoring, the Rangers may very
well celebrate a championship
on home soil in Game 5 of the
Series. But the Giants get the
edge if their pitchers continue
getting more than 80 percent of
the big outs, forcing Texas into
an extended series full of the
low-scoring, tense games that
have replaced Rice-A-Roni as the
San Francisco treat.
No question will be bigger in
the World Series than this one:
Can the best pitching staff stop
the best lineup?
Among the other questions
awaiting answers:
Tim Lincecum ... or Cliff Lee?
The Yankees won the 2009
World Series despite losing twice
to Rangers ace Cliff Lee, then
with the Phillies. They kept him
from completely making CC
Sabathia a non-factor by using
Sabathia on short rest in Game 4,
when he beat Philadelphias No.
4 starter Joe Blanton. Neither
Lee nor Lincecum have much
of a history working on short
rest, so we could get a second
head-to-head meeting in Game
5. Lee is auditioning for a run
at a Sabathia-sized contract in
free agency and the ring that his
Philadelphia teammates failed to
get him last year. Losing twice to
a guy who looks like hes trying
to find the local skateboarding
park would sting.
Who does the Molina factor
favor?
San Francisco catcher Buster
Posey probably will win the
National League Rookie of the
Year award and could get an
MVP vote or two, but the Giants
have left themselves Molina-free,
which could be a mistake. Texas
acquired catcher Bengie Molina
from San Francisco on July 1
and now hopes to enjoy the tra-
ditional Molina World Series
success. Teams with one of the
three Molina brothers Bengie,
Yadier and Jose have won
three World Series in four tries,
the only unsuccessful trip for a
Molina coming for Yadier with
the 2004 Cardinals. Yadier and
Jose have two World Series rings
between them; Bengie is trying
to pick up his second.
Should Texas fear The
Beard?
This is a definite yes. San
Francisco closer Brian Wilson is
5-for-5 in save situations in the
playoffs, and Texas doesnt have a
player who has had a hit off him.
The guys the Rangers are expect-
ed to have active are a career
0-for-19 against Wilson. Their
edge could be hitting coach Clint
Hurdle, who has done a great
job preparing the Texans to face
specific pitchers.
Will tradition survive Texas?
There are no cheerleaders
dancing atop the dugouts, but
still theres a feeling of an NFL-
style production at Rangers
Ballpark in Arlington most
notably when flag-waving team
employees race across the cen-
ter-field berm after runs score.
By contrast, AT&T Park is the
hippest place in the majors.
Ross, fact or fiction?
Claimed on waivers from
Florida on Aug. 22, the Giants
seemed to be as interested in
blocking San Diego from adding
Ross to its lineup. They prob-
ably wouldnt have gotten past
Atlanta and Philadelphia with-
out him, however, as hes hit .324
with four home runs and eight
RBIs in eight games.
Ofense struggles all

OMAHA, Neb. The Big 12 is

weekend.

than 400 yards total ofense. Nine

Big 12 FOOtBALL
BY KORY CARPENTER
kcarpenter@kansan.com
When deciding on where to play
college football, sophomore Toben
Opurum had the pick of the litter.
The former high school star from
Plano, Texas was courted by foot-
ball powers like Nebraska, Florida,
and Notre Dame, among others,
throughout his high school career.
Opurum was rated by Rivals.com
as the third best fullback in Texas in
2009, and coaches Urban Meyer and
Bo Pelini wanted the 62, 229 pound
recruit in their backfields. There
was just one problem. Opurum
wanted to play running back at the
next level. When former Kansas
coach Mark Mangino offered him
a spot at running back, Opurum
signed his letter of intent and trav-
eled to Lawrence, where he led the
team with 554 rushing yards while
adding 9 touchdowns last year as a
freshman.
When Mangino was fired and
Turner Gill took over last December,
the new coaching staff emphasized
speed at the running back position,
and Opurums bruising style was
out of the equation.
After beginning the season at
linebacker with minimal results,
Opurum started at defensive end
against Texas A&M Saturday. He
had six tackles on the night, and
Gill told reporters Monday that
Opurum is staying put.
Hes definitely going to stay
at the defensive end position. We
decided last week that thats what
his best asset is.
Opurum didnt get to Texas
A&M quarterbacks Jerrod Johnson
or Ryan Tannehill, but Gill said he
liked what he saw and his speed was
a nice change of pace for the Kansas
defense, who only has six sacks on
the season.
Now at his third position in less
than a year, Opurum sees his newest
role as pass rusher as an opportu-
nity to help the struggling Kansas
defense.
The coaches knew what they
were doing and they are putting me
in a position that I can better help
my team, Opurum said.
The defense needs all the help
they can get at this point. The
Jayhawks are currently last in the
Big 12 in scoring defense, turn-
over margin, and sacks. Opurums
speed on the edge was a factor in
the position change, as coaches are
trying to generate pressure on the
quarterback.
He has good quickness and hell
continue to get better. Gill said of
Opurum. He definitely gives more
opportunities to hit the quarterback
a few more times.
With virtually no pressure on
opposing quarterbacks thus far in
the season, teams have had plenty of
time to carve up the Kansas second-
ary. Big 12 QBs have had even more
success, putting up a combined 159
points against the Jayhawks the first
three conference games.
Following the Texas A&M loss,
Opurum acknowledged he still had
a lot to learn on the defensive side
of the ball.
I think I have improved a lot but
I still have a lot of work to put in to
help my team.

J
osh Selby is running out
of time.
Not at Kansas. He can
wait all year at Kansas. Hes got
a full ride. Hes cleared to do
everything but play in games.
But hes got another option.
Selby is easily talented enough
to make a living overseas for a
year if he so chooses. Brandon
Jennings, the No. 4 recruit
in the class of 2009, already
blazed that trail when he failed
to make grades and signed on
with an Italian team for a sea-
son.
All he did when he made
it back stateside? Dazzle the
NBA world with one of the best
opening months any rookie has
ever had. He finished third in
Rookie of the Year voting.
Heres what Selbys two
choices entail:
First, he can stay at Kansas
and risk the wrath of the
NCAA. If they can find any
wrongdoing on his behalf, he
could be out for the entire sea-
son. Hell still have a scholar-
ship, but he may never be able
to play basketball at Kansas.
If hes cleared, though, Selby
becomes an immediate rock
star on campus (not that he
isnt already). He will undoubt-
edly be the starting point guard
for the Jayhawks, and he will
more than likely be a star.
Fans will love him, students
will love him and he ll get
smiles everywhere he goes on
campus. If the NBA cant reach
a new collective bargaining
agreement and locks out the
players, hell run the town for
two years.
His second option involves
infinitely less fanfare. Hell be
just another face in the crowd
in Europe. Jennings, who
blogged often during his Italian
season, constantly noted how
he was not celebrated, how he
lived in a small apartment, and
how the pay was good but the
lifestyle lacked the opulence
of the American sports super-
stars. He averaged 17 minutes
and 5.5 points per game off the
bench, far from being a star.
The punch line to both
options is the same. Come May,
Selby becomes a lottery pick in
the NBA draft, signs a contract
for millions of dollars and goes
on to whatever success he may
have in the league. Not such a
bad life.
But Selbys in a rough spot
right now. As former Jayhawk
Paul Rudd classically put it
in Forgetting Sarah Marshall,
though, When life gives you
lemons, just say F--- the lem-
ons and bail.
Bailing, for Selby, would be
Europe. But Euroleague play
is already underway, and that
window wont be open much
longer.
Time to figure out what to
do with those lemons, Josh.

The mens golf team fin-
ished the first day of the Herb
Wimberly Intercollegiate
tied for fifth place. The
Jayhawks shot 295 in their
first round Monday morn-
ing and 290 in the second
round to put them at 17 over
par for the tournament, tied
with Boise State University.
Sophomore Alex Gutesha
led the Jayhawks. Gutesha
shot one over par for 72
Monday morning before he
came back in the afternoon
and shot a one under par for
70 to put him at even par for
the day and tied for sixth
place.
He played really solid;
really good day ball striking
for him, coach Kit Grove
said. Obviously thats an
advantage under hard con-
ditions if youre hitting it
solid and able to control the
golf ball. A well struck shot
is not affected as much by
the wind as a mis-struck
shot.
Senior Nate Barbee and
sophomore Chris Gilbert
finished the day at six over
par. Barbee opened up with
a 79 before shooting a 69
in the afternoon. Gilbert
opened with a 75 before fir-
ing a 73 in the afternoon.
Barbee and Gilbert are tied
for 25th place.
It was just kind of a
strange morning for [Nate],
but Im proud of him for
being able to fight through
that and put together a real-
ly nice round in the after-
noon, Grove said.
Senior Jeff Bell finished
the first day tied for 46th
place. Bell opened up with
a 74 before coming into the
house in the afternoon with
a 78. Junior Doug Quinones
also opened up his day with
a three-over-par 74. He came
back in the afternoon with
an 80 to put him in a tie for
60th place.
Doug was actually doing
well and then he made a
triple late in his round and a
quad on his last hole of the
day, Grove said. He ended
up shooting 80 but he had
two complete blow-up holes
late in his round which is
frustrating because he prob-
ably played the caliber where
he could have shot 74 or five
just as easily as he shot an
80.
Host New Mexico State
finished day one in first
place, shooting 574 to put
them at six over par for
the tournament. Timothy
Madigan led the Aggies,
shooting an eight-under-
par 63 Monday morning.
Madigan is six under for
the tournament and has a
two-stroke lead. Washington
State is one stroke behind
the Aggies and is in sec-
ond place. UNLV is in third
place at nine over par, Idaho
is in fourth at 14 over.
The final round of the
tournament will begin at 9
a.m. It is the final round
of the Jayhawks 2010 fall
schedule.
