A signifcant human rights issue concerning openly gay men and
women in the military is gaining ground in favor of repeal via
political engines like Cindy McCain and Defense Secretary Robert

perpetuate dont ask, dont tell
blue Jayhawk T-shirt hangs in
the Allen Fieldhouse gif shop,
but its the little tag in the col-
lar, not the school spirit, that at-
tracts the attention of activists, student groups
and Kansas Athletics Inc. KU fans might not
consider the production of Jayhawk T-shirts,
hats or even cofee mugs, but there are labor
monitors, non-governmental organizations
and companies that do.
In every factory throughout the world
that produces KU licensed merchandise,
the Fair Labor Association is charged with
supervising the labor conditions in which
someone sewed that shirt. But even with
labor monitoring, its still difcult to
track where and under what conditions
the merchandise was manufactured.
THE PROCESS
Paul Vander Tuig, KU Trademark Li-
censing director, said Athletics joined the Fair La-
bor Association in 1999 when the public was be-
coming aware of sweatshop conditions. Te FLA
monitors workers rights violations and works
with factories and companies to improve working
conditions.
Tis year, it cost the University athletic depart-
ment about $21,000 to be an FLA afliate, which
is about 1 percent of the $2.1 million in gross roy-
alties it receives from KU apparel and merchan-
dise sales.
Kansas Athletics Inc. also coordinates with Col-
legiate Licensing Company, which works between
licensees and Athletics to carry out the decisions
Athletics makes. Te CLC works with about 180
colleges and universities, including all Big 12
schools.
Liz Kennedy, CLC director of corporate respon-
sibility, said the company handles anything from
contracts to artwork approval for product designs.
She said although CLC is not related to the FLA, it
does what it can to support each universitys labor-
monitoring models.
THE GLOBALIZATION FACTOR
Eve Clark, a doctoral candidate studying global-
ization, said there are still problems with the labor
monitoring system even if Athletics works with the
FLA and CLC. Te biggest problem is fnding ac-
countability because now many large companies
subcontract the production of their goods. If theres
a violation, a company can direct blame to the sub-
contractor.
As consumers, its very difcult for us to fnd
fair wage stuf because usually when you buy a big
brand theyre not really employing the people any-
more, Clark said.
She said part of the problem is that globalization
introduces so many more players into a process as
simple as producing a T-shirt.
Te process is so convoluted that this is why the
University has to go through a third party and the
third party has to have people researching into who
the subcontractors are, Clark said.
A lot of that information also depends on how
open a company is about who its working with and
how much access it has to the subcontractors that
are producing the goods. Tis is one reason its dif-
fcult for Athletics to know exactly where its mer-
chandise is being produced.
Vander Tuig said there are difculties with try-
ing to match company violations to specifc factory
violations. Although there might be a violation at a
certain companys factory, KU merchandise might
not have been made at that exact factory. He said if
KU items were being produced at a factory in viola-
tion, the FLA or CLC would notify him.
Actually tracking and catching violations is a
task in and of itself, Clark said, because diferent
pieces of a product may be produced in diferent
places and then assembled somewhere else.
It is this very nightmarish sort of way to fgure
out whether or not somethings fair, Clark said.
Its usually not until theres a protest or move-
ment started by factory workers
that people learn about inappropriate
labor practices, she said.
COMPLAINT FILED
About two years ago a Russell clothing factory
in Honduras that produced KU apparel was closed.
Russell said closing the factory was a business deci-
sion, while another labor monitor, Worker Rights
Consortium, and activists said the factory closed
because workers had unionized. If the factory
closed because of unionization, it would have been
a workers rights violation for the 1,800 employees
at the factory.
Vander Tuig said he was notifed of afer the inci-
dent, but Athletics decided not to cut ties with Rus-
sell. At the time, about 90 colleges and universities
dropped or suspended licensing agreements with
Russell. Vander Tuig said although there would be
no legal repercussions for canceling a licensee con-
tract, Athletics decided to stick with Russell to try
to remediate the situation.
Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said
he told Russell if satisfactory changes werent made,
Athletics would then terminate its contract.
In November 2009 Russell reached an agreement
with the factory workers in which it hired back
more than 1,000 workers and agreed to improve its
relationship with the union.
FLA VS. WRC
Followers of the fair trade movement have dif-
fering opinions on collegiate merchandise when
it comes to the two major monitors, the FLA and
Worker Rights Consortium.
Last spring, Andrea Peterson, student senator
and president of KU Students Against Sweatshops,
sponsored a resolution in Senate to encourage Ath-
letics to switch from the FLA to WRC. She said
WRC has a much better history of responding to
rights violations and has a better system for investi-
gating the violations.
Te strengths of WRC were that violations were
investigated on an individual basis and it brought
in non-government organizations to help, she said.
Te FLA has agreements with the licensees and
works with them and the factory owners to conduct
investigations.
FLA Executive
Director Jorge Prez L-
pez said the FLA conducts about
125 to 150 random, unannounced in-
spections each year. He said it also investigates
any complaints, but there are only about two
or three a year.
Athletics has its own licensee contract that
lays out its conditions for fair labor practic-
es, but Peterson said their good intentions
may not be enough to change the system.
Te question is whether or not thats
being enforced and if were using the
most efective monitoring organization
to ensure that its being enforced, Peter-
son said. We do have a responsibility
once things come out to move forward
and look at a more efective way of ex-
?
CLOTHES
Whos making your
Kansas Athletics Inc. is part of the Fair Labor Association, a group dedicated
to protecting workers rights and working conditions.
This year, Athletics paid $21,000 to be part of the FLA. Thats 1 percent of the 2.1 million dollar
revenue Kansas Athletics Inc. makes from its licensed apparel.
There are more than 200 colleges and universities involved with the FLA, according to the
groups website.
We do have a responsibility once things
come out to move forward and look at
a more efective wayof examining where
things with the beloved Jayhawk
come from.

Business students travel to India
BY CARLO RAMIREZ
cramirez@kansan.com
If your idea of fun on New Years
Eve includes roaming the rural coun-
tryside of India with wild animals,
then youre in luck. The School of
Business is offering a study abroad
program in south India for the
first time in University history this
Winter Break, including a trip to a
game reserve on New Years Eve.
Im pretty excited at the chance
to go to India, and experience a dif-
ferent part of the world while getting
some credits out of the way, said
Nick Manning, a senior from Kansas
City, Kansas.
Hopeful applicants such as
Manning have applied to take
Emerging Topics in Marketing: U.S
and India.
Kissan Joseph, faculty adviser and
professor for the course, said the
program would be advantageous in
understanding emerging marketing
practices in the U.S. and India, natu-
rally leading to opportunities across
two market-oriented economies.
It is a large market. There are over
300 million individuals in the middle
class. In fact, President Obama has
recently stated that the relationship
between U.S and India will be the
defining partnership of the current
century, Joseph said.
Students will enjoy a newly built,
$15 million LEED certified build-
ing. LEED certified, Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design,
buildings focus on meeting certain
environmental standards.
Joseph warns that besides the
daily 6 a.m. yoga session, no day will
be the same.
Some days will be all class, others
will be social excursions or company
field trips, he said.
The course will be taught by
Joseph and select professors of the
Asian School of Business, a school
founded in Trivandrum in 2005.
Joseph will focus on how to connect
the two marketing worlds, while the
ASB faculty will focus on marketing
in India.
It is a three credit hour course and
counts toward Spring 2011 semester.
The three-week study abroad pro-
gram, will be spent near a beach
on the southern tip in Trivandrum,
India in the state of Kerala, acclaimed
for its scenic sights and beautiful, 70
degree weather in the winter.
Students interested submitted an
application that included why they
believed they would be good candi-
dates for the program, if they needed
financial aid, as well as a copy of
a resume. The abroad program is
only open to those in The School of
Business.
The Office of Study Abroad
wanted to help students financially
as much as possible, particularly
because its the first year for the pro-
gram. Students can receive scholar-
ships for up to $1200, which covers
all but $240 of the total program
cost.
Its a great opportunity and the
fee is very reasonable with the schol-
arships given, said Suzanne Scales,
assistant director and head of the
Institute for International Business.
The students must pay for their
flight, which is around $1500, said
Scales.
A dollar can go a long way in
India, Joseph said.
Each day students will learn about
the distinctions between the Indian
and U.S. marketing business worlds,
and Joseph hopes this knowledge
will help students bridge the gap in
the future.
Joseph stresses international busi-
ness is key for the Universitys School
of Business, adding that this program
is one of the many abroad opportu-
nities it offers.
Kansas is the center of the U.S.,
but we at the business school want it
to be the center of the world, Joseph
said.
The students chosen will leave for
India on Dec. 26 and return on Jan.
17, 2011.

Psychologist speaks
of religious infection
The Ku Society of Open-Minded
Atheists & Agnostics will host dr.
darrel ray tonight from 7 to 8:30
p.m. in the Parlor room AbC of
the Kansas union. dr. ray, an orga-
nizational psychologist, will be
speaking about his book The God
virus: How religion Infects Our
Lives and Culture.
ray said he examined the idea
that religion was a virus that was
infecting almost all aspects of
life. He said he questioned how
people get infected with religious
ideas and what the consequences
of that religious infection.
There is no way of verifying
that Allah is the right one or that
Jesus is the right one,ray said.
yet people would kill over that
idea.
He said most people became
infectedas young children,
which was why religion often
targeted children. He said most
children are susceptible to the
God virusbecause their rational
immune system was immature.
He said when a person was young
and went to bible school, the
religion would teach how other
religions were wrong.
ray calls this infection the God
virus because once a person
has the virus, its difcult for the
person to get rid of it.
He said another large part of his
lecture is about the taboo of sex
within the religious community.
He said all of the major religions
were consumed with sex. He said
religion creates guilt through sex.
He said if a person took sex out of
religion, then the religion would
collapse.
I often say that religion is a
sexually transmitted disease,ray
said.
Overall, ray said people often
dont realize they were being
controlled by the God virus,and
his lecture taught people how to
overcome it.
Any religious person is prob-
ably infected with a God virus and
what you do you about it?ray
said. I have a little bit of an idea
on what to do about it.

CONCORD, N.H. Lawyers
for a Manchester woman charged
with lying about her role in the
1994 Rwanda genocide argued
Monday she will not flee if she is
released from custody while await-
ing trial next year.
Beatrice Munyenyezi, 40, has
been in custody since June, when
she was indicted for lying on
applications to enter the United
States in 1995 and to obtain citi-
zenship. Federal prosecutors say
she ordered rapes and murders
of Tutsis during the genocide that
killed up to 800,000 people.
Defense Attorney David Ruoff
told a federal magistrate that
Munyenyezi has lived a very quiet
and unassuming life during the 10
years she has lived in Manchester
with her three daughters, who are
now in their teens. He called her
ongoing detention strictly puni-
tive.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey
Auerhahn said Munyenyezis
brother heads an organization that
wants to overthrow the current
regime in Rwanda, and predicts
she would return to Rwanda if that
happened.
Why stay around here and
face a potential 10-year sentence,
Auerhahn said. Her roots in the
community are tenuous at best and
suspicious.
Munyenyezi, who was sworn
in as a U.S. citizen in Concord
in 2003, appeared to be listen-
ing intently. She spoke only when
U.S. Magistrate Judge Landya
McCafferty asked her if she was
pronouncing her name correctly.
McCafferty did not indicate
when she would issue a decision.
Munyenyezi is married to
Arsene Shalom Ntahobali, a com-
mander in the former Rwandan
army and one of the Butare Six,
suspected by authorities of plan-
ning the slaughter. He and his
mother have been on trial before a
U.N. tribunal for more than eight
years.
Ruoff argued that during that
eight-year trial, including the three
times Munyenyezi testified on her
husbands behalf, she was never
linked to genocide or other war
crimes.
A federal affidavit says
Munyenyezi and her husband were
extremist Hutus who participated
in roadblocks and ID checks that
resulted in numerous Tutsi rapes
and killings.
Ruoff also questioned the
credibility of the governments
Rwandan witnesses, calling them
jailhouse rats who participated
in the genocide.
Prosecutors challenged Ruoff s
characterization, saying they have
nothing to offer Rwandan con-
victs who are serving multiple life
sentences.
Auerhahn said they fear
Munyenyezi will attempt to coerce
or threaten their witnesses.
Some of the witnesses knew
her for years and years and years,
he said.

amining where things with the
beloved Jayhawk come from.
Vander Tuig said Athletics had
evaluated its afliation with the
FLA several times afer students
had initiated the conversation,
but Athletics decided the FLA is
currently the best option.
He said one factor in the de-
cision is that WRC is only con-
cerned with college apparel.
Te FLA monitors apparel from
many diferent companies and
also licensed merchandise, such
as mugs and key chains. Each
year Athletics trademark royal-
ties are made up of 63 to 65 per-
cent apparel sales and about 35
percent merchandise.
Marchiony said he didnt want
Athletics reluctance to switch to
WRC to overshadow its concern
and interest in labor rights.
Tats been a concern of ours
for over a decade and thats why
we have been a part of the FLA
f o r
so long, Marchiony said. Tis
institution believes that we need
to be involved in the solution.
Clark said there are still im-
portant issues to be resolved
within the labor monitoring
system, but individuals arent to
blame for those problems. Te
system makes it difcult for Ath-
letics, and even the consumer, to
track a lot of issues by itself.
Te global economy has
made labor issues so hard to
track, Clark said. Its not im-
possible and there are victories.
Te fact that the University has a
commitment to this is a victory
in terms of a social movement
for labor.

Altercation leads
to library arrest
A man who had been
banned from the university
was arrested Monday evening
at Watson Library. Capt.
Schuyler bailey said there was
a scufe between the man
and Ku Public Safety ofcers.
Amanda Manke, a junior
from Overland Park, said she
was doing homework in the
library when she witnessed
the altercation.
Manke said at about 5 p.m.
a male ofcer and female
ofcer approached two men
near the circulation desk on
the main foor of the library.
She said the ofcers told one
of the men that he knew he
wasnt supposed to be on
university property.The man
said he thought the charges
were dropped. The ofcers
and man argued for about
fve minutes, Manke said.
Then he took a swing at
the male cop, she said.
The male ofcer and the
assailant wrestled on the
ground for a few moments
until the ofcer handcufed
the man, Manke said.
bailey said he was unsure of
the assailants age or why he
was banned from university
property.
bailey said that, following
this incident, the assailant was
charged with battery of a law
enforcement ofcer, criminal
trespassing and resisting
arrest.

As 2010 rolls to a close,
Hollywoods L.A.-la lunacy smells
riper than usual. Sure, there are
franchise stalwarts as Harry
Potter 7.5. But weve also got a
psychological thriller about a bal-
lerina sprouting pinfeathers, and
an English import about stuttering
royalty. Sometimes I feel like Im
in some kind of crazy Inception
world where nothing makes any
sense. Anyway, heres the rundown
of some holiday movies in order of
openings:
Nov. 19: The last chapter in the
Harry Potter saga is split in two;
we wont get closure until the real
finale is released next July 15.
Nov. 24: I fell hard for Love
and Other Drugs when it screened
recently. Its ultra-sexy and surpris-
ingly funny, and very touching.
Dec. 10: The Narnia series is
back in high style. an in Darren
Aronofskys ballet thriller Black
Swan. I remain agnostic about
whether this will be brilliant or
excruciating. I dont see much mid-
dle ground.
Dec. 17: Its been 18 years since
the original Tron brought its black
light poster/videogame esthetic to
Pong-era moviegoers.
Dec. 25: The Kings Speech
scored eight British Independent
Film Awards and has been gener-
ating serious Oscar buzz. Playing
the stammering King George VI,
Colin Firth is said to be a lock for
best actor.
Holiday season flled
with a variety of flms
Glee cast and crew puts hours into rehearsal
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. For
the creators of Foxs most famous
show, its not so much Glee as it is
Grit. Essentially the cast and crew
of the enormously popular series
are able to conjure a movie musical
in just one week.
Anyone whos experienced
dance, music or acting rehearsals
knows that schedule seems impos-
sible. The show makers agree theres
jaw-clenching pressure to get the job
done.
Every episode is eight days, says
costume designer Lou Eyrich. And
we get a script three, four days into
it, so we basically have four days of
prep and then start shooting, and
then catch up a little bit in the next
few days.
Music director Adam Anders not
only prepares the music, but also
orchestrates it, another gargantuan
job. I think this is the most civil you
will ever see us because we are always
fighting for time, he says. We never
have enough time, of course. But you
gotta make it work.
Anders labors an episode ahead
of the others. When theyre shoot-
ing, the music has to be done, he
says. He works with a partner in
Sweden. We arrange everything ...
we take our cues from (co-creator)
Ryan Murphy. Do you want this to
be a kind of ode to the original? Do
you want a reinvention? What are
we looking for here? Were trying
to serve the story, and we go from
there.
But, my whole thing is to kind
of straddle the fence between what
Glee is the inspiration and every-
thing and not going cheesy. And
thats kind of what Im always trying
to do. Because its a little bit of camp,
but we never go too far. So when
I do go too far, thats the stuff you
never hear.

As movement gains momentum,
inequality fueled among gays
sexuALiTy
Those that are concerned about their tax dollars funding con-
traceptives should consider the much larger tax burden of the
government supporting children whose parents are unable to care
for them, and dealing with the consequences of deliquent children
who do not recieve proper care.
For those that are concerned about their tax dollars supporting the
possible side effects of contraception, why are you not also rallying
against every other drug with side effects (many of which can be
much more extreme) that the government subsidizes with medi-
care and medicaid?
For those that are concerned with the moral arguments of human
life, do you spend as much energy protesting the wars we are wag-
ing, which are the primary reason that our country cannot manage
its budget?

If someone can confortably talk about masturbation then good
for you. If someone else feels that it is a private thing then who are
we to decide that they are wrong? I dont think that Ms. Bledowski
meant to do so but she defined those who do as normal and those
who dont (or dont want to talk about it) as abnormal. It depends
on your culture. In the navy there was a popular joke that said
How can you tell if a sailor just come off a six month deployment?
With one hand he can crush a Volkswagon but he cant zip up his
fly with the other. Jokes like that will get you fired in an office
environment or crucified on TV if you are a public figure (not a
comedian).

T
heres a major movement in
the making and its slowly
showing success.
Im not talking about the Tea Party
Movement or the Republican
sweep in Congress. Im also not
talking about the initiative to
legalize marijuana that was
rejected in California earlier this
month.
Tis one is not about eco-
nomic policies, lower taxes or
legalizing drugs; its about fun-
damental human rights. So fun-
damental, in fact, that it requires
people to lie about their identity
and in some cases precludes them
from having a family. Im talking
about gay rights.
Sure, this movement is not new.
But recently, it has gained new
popularity because it fnally shows
visible success. Dont ask, dont
tell (DADT), which bars openly
gay people from military service,
is gaining politically important
supporters, including Defense
Secretary Robert M. Gates and
Cindy McCain (in opposition
to her husband John). A recent
Pentagon report concluded that
repealing the policy would do little
harm to the efectiveness of the
military.
It may still take a while to fnally
repeal DADT, but so did the grad-
ual ban of segregation in the 50s
and 60s. It started with schools
and continued with colleges, buses
and restaurants. Today, most peo-
ple in this country cannot imagine
how we could discriminate against
others on the basis of skin color.
I hope and believe that in a
few decades, we will say the same
about discrimination on the basis
of sexuality. Right now, homosexu-
als are still denied their full First
Amendment rights. If they serve
in the military, they have to deny
their sexual identity and lie to
their fellow comrades whose lives
depend on them. DADT is disre-
spectful to people who sacrifce
their lives to fght for this country.
In most states, homosexuals are
not allowed to marry or adopt a
child if they cannot have one on
their own, even if they would save
a child from foster care and give
them a safe and happy home.
Contrary to many myths created
by religious and anti-gay groups,
homosexuality is NOT a disease
that can be cured. It is NOT a life-
style that can be chosen.
Research has not yet been able
to fully explain why we love one
person and not another. We dont
know yet why exactly we feel
sexually attracted to some, but
not to others. But we know that
homosexuality cannot simply be
changed with surgery or therapy.
Being gay is like falling in love:
You know when it happens but
you cant get rid of it, no matter
how hard you try.
In the next century, people will
look at our time in history as the
period when many still thought
homosexuals are inferior in
sexuality, should not be allowed to
marry their loved one or be hon-
est about their sexual preference.
Hopefully, they will say: How
could they think that! Tese were
dark times and were glad were liv-
ing in a better society now.
Why are some people denied
the right to marry when those who
break marriages through cheating
are allowed to marry again? Why
are some people denied the right
to adopt a child when there is no
indication that they would hurt
the child? Why do some people
have to lie about their identity
when they render the noblest pub-
lic service for this country?
In 10 or 20 years, we wont need
to ask those questions. But frst we
need to act.

dent from Cracow, Poland, in

O
h, Pokmon. I
remember being 14,
and being so extremely
into the idea of hating you with
all my heart.
I, like many kids my age,
tossed my Pokmon trading
cards in the back of my
closet and let my copies of
Silver and Red collect dust
on my shelf. It was a terrible,
goth-y, awkward time in my life,
and I had no Pokmon to turn to
when I got in trouble in school or
that one time, when I asked that
seventh grader out and she was
like, My boyfriend just got hit by
a train. So, Im kind of grieving.
And I was like, What? Hit
by a train? Uh, are you being
serious? And then she got really
mad at me, and was like, Are you
calling me a liar?
Anyway, Pokmon had been
such a staple of my childhood,
and I was depriving myself of
it simply because I believed Id
outgrown it. Ten I discovered
the Hipster Way NT (Not
Trademarked ... yet). Hipsters
love things ironically. You see,
they wear trucker hats and
skinny jeans and ride around on
weird old bicycles, but they dont
actually like any of these things.
Tese hipsters who practice
the Hipster Way fnd it funny
that people actually enjoy these
trends, so they adorn the trends
as a sort of weird joke. A lot of
hipsters ironically like Pokmon.
So for awhile, I lived in a weird
hipster world in which I said
things were gay ironically, and
I nearly bought a bunch of Alf
shirts, ironically of course. It was
a wacky, upside-down world.
But I found myself still
enjoying Pokmon unironically
(well, all but the show and flms,
which are lets be honest
so awful that theyre good). I
realized that if a genie appeared
in my room, my second wish
would be for Pokmon to be
real and for me to be a gym
leader (my frst wish would be
for more wishes, duh). I was
always ashamed of my Pokmon
afiction until December when
millions and millions (yeah, I
said it: MILLIONS) of people on
Facebook changed their profle
picture to their favorite Pokmon.
Some, Im sure, were done
ironically, but I was excited to see
friends explaining and arguing
just why Beedrill or Arcanine or
whatever (thats not a Pokmons
name, but it would make a good
one) are the best of all Pokmon.
It was a proud moment for me,
and I knew at that moment that
Jesus was right. Te meek will
inherit the earth, and they will
all have a favorite Pokmon and
lots to say on the subject of a
Pokmon MMORPG (cmon,
Nintendo!).
So, this December when
Pokmon profle picture month
comes again, dont hide behind
irony. Accept the fact that you
have a weird knowledge of the
Kanto region, you downloaded
Pokmon Snap on your virtual
console the day it was released,
and that you have a favorite
Pokmon.

Although I appreciate the senti-
ment behind Mondays vaccination
article, which was concerned with
reducing the evolution of new
strains of the fu virus, it was un-
fortunately riddled with incorrect
information. Te author attempts
to argue that healthy individuals
should not get the fu shot, as this
might cause the evolution of new
strains of the fu virus. Tis state-
ment makes no sense if one under-
stands how the immune system and
inactivated viral vaccinations work.
First, the fu virus injected into
your body upon vaccination has
been inactivated. Tis means that
the virus is not capable of infecting
the cells of your body. For multiple
viral strains to exchange genetic
material (read: mutate), they must
all be co-infecting the exact same
cell. Terefore, from a fundamental
standpoint, no virus injected into
the body from a fu vaccination is
capable of causing mutations in any
other viral fu strain that may hap-
pen to infect a person. Second, the
immune system will clear out any
injected virus within 10-14 days.
Tus, even if the virus in the fu
vaccination were not inactivated, it
seems unlikely that within 14 days,
a diferent viral strain will infect the
same person and produce success-
ful mutant viral progeny.
In addition, there is a concept
in the epidemiology world known
as herd immunity. Tis concept
states that afer a certain number
of individuals in a population
have been vaccinated against a
particular contagious pathogen,
the unvaccinated individuals of the
population will also be protected
from the pathogen. Basically, the
more people that are immune to
the fu virus, the less likely any one
person will catch the fu. Tis is
an important concept because it
has ethical implications. Tere are
groups of people in our community
that cannot receive fu vaccinations
because of immune disorders or
organ transplants. Furthermore, as
the previous author stated, immu-
nocompromised individuals are at
high risk for serious complications
from the fu.
Tus, herd immunity is one of
the few ways they can be protected.
As such, if you do not get the fu
shot, theoretically you are increas-
ing the chance that a sick person
will die from the fu virus.

Not getting vaccinated will not

Morris hit 10-of-12 shots to fnish with 22
points and 11 rebounds. His four assists were
second only to point guard tyshawn taylors
fve. theres really not much to say about Morris
that hasnt already been said. He got a bunch of
headlines and accolades in the preseason, and
hes backing up all the hype so far, averaging

Player to forget
Morningstar
Senior guard Brady Morningstar
Morningstar has done some great things
over his career for Kansas basketball, but if he
doesnt start hitting shots, bill Self will have
to start cutting his minutes. Morningstar is
just 1-for-5 on the season from behind the
three-point line, but he handled the back up
point guard duties while elijah Johnson was
suspended for the frst two games. With John-
son presumably returning next game, expect
Morningstar to see less time.
Notes
Sophomore guard elijah Johnson did not dress for the second
straight game.
the 17 points Kansas let up in the second half were the fewest
since Alcorn State scored 12 in the frst half on Dec. 2, 2009.
the Jayhawks extended the nations longest home court win-
ning streak to 61 games.
Marcus and Markief Morris were the only Jayhawks to shoot 50
percent or better from behind the three-point line.
bill Self said the timetable for a ruling on Josh Selbys eligibility
is still unclear, but he had the feeling he would know when a
ruling would come down soon.
Self said he hopes to have Jef Withey back in seven to 10 days,
but that he already expected to have him back on the foor.
kansas 79, Valparaiso 44
BY MIKE LAVIERI

Kansas (2-0) hot start didnt
cool off in its 79-44 victory over
Valparaiso (1-1) Monday night.
The Jayhawks were too much of
everything for Valparaiso: too much
offense, too much defense, too much
strength and too much hustle.
Valparaiso coach Homer Drew
said that Kansas quickness made
his team a little uncomfortable.
Their speed really hurt us in
transition early, Drew said. They
jumped on us early with just their
speed and the physicalness inside
off of their offensive board.
The Jayhawks had only five points
on the fast break, but the team over-
powered the Crusaders for 40 points
in the paint.
Kansas also out-muscled
Valparaiso on the glass, grabbing 44
rebounds to Valparaisos 33.
The Morris twins led the Jayhawks,
combining for 24 rebounds.
Coach Self said was pleased with
how the twins played.
They are good players, Self said.
They do a little bit of everything.
Marcus had 22 points and 11
rebounds, while Markieff had 13
points and 13 rebounds. Marcus
attributed his offensive game to an
early rhythm he got into.
I just made shots and my team-
mates helped me and they were able
to get rebounds and finish it when I
missed, Marcus said.
Marcus rarely missed Monday
night, going 10-12 from the field.
Drew said that the Morris twin
combo is a scary one.
When one shoots it, what scares
you, is the other one dunks if he
misses, Drew said.
What makes the Morris twins so
dynamic is their versatility. They
are able to post their man up on the
inside and they can also hit shots
from behind the arc.
Valparaiso forward Kevin Van
Wijk said that he knew how physi-
cal the game was.
I have played against guys that
were heavier, but not as strong as
they were, so adjusting to it was
kind of hard in the beginning Van
Wijk said. We knew coming in that
they could shoot, and we tried to
adjust as much as possible, but its
hard to defend somebody who can
do both things instead of just one.
The sophomore from the
Netherlands was one of the lone
bright spots for the Crusaders. Van
Wijk was one of two players for the
Crusaders who scored in double
figures. He had 10 points in 19
minutes off the bench.
While Kansas only gave up 17
points in the second half, Self said
it was more like 30 or 35 points
because Valparaiso missed easy
layups, but he said it was a step in
the right direction on defense.
It wasnt a gigantic step, but I
certainly feel better walking out of
here than I did the other night from
a defensive stand point, Self said.
It helped that Valparaiso could
not hit a shot from behind the arc
(2-19) and that the Crusaders went
the final 5:11 of the second half
without a field goal.

LANDOVER, Md. Michael
Vick, not Donovan McNabb,
played like a
$78 million
quar t e r back,
accounting for
six touchdowns
all by himself.
And his Phil-
adelphia Eagles
marched down
the feld in one
big chunk afer
another, doing
enough times to put new entries in
the various record books.
On a day the Washington Red-
skins hoped to celebrate Mc-
Nabbs new contract and set aside
the swirl of distractions from his
benching two weeks earlier, Vick
and the Eagles stormed the party
and thoroughly embarrassed their
NFC East rivals 59-28 Monday
night.
Te Eagles scored on an 88-yard
pass from Vick to DeSean Jackson
on the frst play from scrimmage,
led 35-0 afer the frst play of the
second quarter and barely let up.
Vick completed his frst 10 pass-
es and fnished 20 for 28 for 333
yards with four touchdowns. He
also ran eight times for 80 yards
and two scores, moving past Steve
Young and into second place in
NFL history
for yards rush-
ing by a quar-
terback.
Te Eagles
set team re-
cords for total
yards in a game
(592), points in
a half (45) and
had the biggest
lead afer the
frst quarter for
any NFL road team (28-0) since at
least 1950.
Vick became the frst player
in NFL history with at least 300
yards passing, 50 yards rushing,
four passing touchdowns and two
rushing touchdowns in a game.
He hasnt thrown an interception
or lost a fumble this season.
More practically, the win
moved Philadelphia (6-3) into a
frst-place tie with the New York
Giants in the division, with both
teams two games ahead of the
Redskins (4-5). Te Eagles are 4-0
when Vick starts and fnishes the
game.

Tharpe signs letter
of intent for Kansas
With the early signing period
ending Wednesday, Naadir Tharpe
signed his letter of intent monday
to play at kansas next season.
The point guard from brewster
Academy in Wolfeboro, mass.,
averaged 13 points and six assists
per game last season for 35-5
national prep champion brewster.
Tharpe is ranked as the No. 72
overall player by esPNu 100, No.
91 by rivals.com and No. 94 by
scout.com.
He comes out of a program at
brewster, much like we got with
Tyshawn Taylor, in that brewster
won the national championship
last year like Tyshawns team did
his senior year at saint Anthonys,
coach self said in a press release.
To have two players in our
program that have won national
championships will be great for
us.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Sure, luck means a lot in football.
Not having a good quarterback is
bad luck.
Don Schula, Miami Dolphins Football Coach
FACT OF THE DAY
The Kansas football team is in the
middle of a three-game streak
against ranked opponents.
KU Athletics
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: When is the last time Kansas
beat two ranked teams in a sea-
son in football?
A: 2007, against No. 24 Kansas
State and No. 5 virginia Tech
KU Athletics
F
unny, isnt it?
The Dallas Cowboys shocked
everyone (including the heavily
favored New York Giants) with a 33-20
win, good for their second win of the sea-
son. In Week 10.
The San Francisco 49ers were expected
to run through the NFC West without a
challenge. Theyre tied for last place in the
division through nine games.
The Oakland Raiders are tied for the
longest win streak in the league and sit
atop the AFC West.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6-3.
The NFL changes so rapidly on a week-
by-week basis that its difficult to put it
into words. Parity is a word thrown
around a lot, suggesting that the gap
between the leagues best teams and worst
teams is closing. It seems to be the case,
as teams such as the Browns, Rams and
Jaguars continue to impress. But although
these teams are getting better,
Take the Cowboys. Sure, the team is
talented: Jerry Jones would have nothing
less than some of the most skilled players
grace his cathedral of a stadium. And the
media gave the team elite status because
Tony Romo looked great in the regular
season. But Dallas has always been tal-
ented and has one playoff win in the last
10 years to show for it.
The Minnesota Vikings thought that
bringing Brett Favre back would give
them the best chance of returning to the
NFC Championship game. And they have
suffered some setbacks this year, with the
injury to Sidney Rice and the Minnesota
installment of The Randy Moss Show.
But the Vikes instead will most likely be a
sub-.500 team.
The stumbles of these supposed top
dogs have given more light to the under-
dogs of the 2010 season such as the
Chiefs, Seahawks, Rams and Raiders.
And perennial contenders such as New
England, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis are
still looking down at the rest of the league.
But the reason for this seasons parity is
the progression of the lower tier of teams.
Even teams such as Detroit and Buffalo,
which had single digit wins early on in
the season, stay competitive in most of
the games. But without normal stalwarts
of the Vikings and Cowboys, these teams
have taken their place in the mix.

assoCiated Press
The first poll of college basket-
balls regular season looks a lot like
the preseason Top 25.
Duke was again a runaway No.
1 on Monday, receiving 58 first-
place votes, three more than it had
in The Associated Press preseason
rankings.
The Blue Devils, the defending
national champions, opened the
season Sunday with a 37-point win
over Princeton.
The same teams were in the
poll, with eight schools switch-
ing places. The 25 teams were a
combined 31-0 in the first week of
play, with Missouri the only one
without at least one win.
There should be plenty of move-
ment in next weeks poll. At least
three games between ranked teams
are scheduled this week.
Michigan State, which received
the other seven first-place votes,
remained second followed by
Kansas State, Ohio State and
Pittsburgh. Villanova was sixth
with Kansas, North Carolina,
Florida and Syracuse rounding out
the top 10.
The first of the four switch-
es was Gonzaga and Kentucky,
which are 11th and 12th this
week. Illinois was 13th followed
by Purdue, Missouri, Butler,
Baylor Washington, Memphis and
Georgetown. The last five ranked
teams were Temple, Virginia
Tech, BYU, Tennessee and San
Diego State.
The other switches were Butler
and Baylor, Temple and Virginia
Tech and BYU and Tennessee.
The Volunteers opened
the season with an 82-62 win
over Chattanooga, but that fol-
lowed a 79-64 loss to Division
II Indianapolis in an exhibition
game.
Last season, Syracuse lost an
exhibition game to Division II
LeMoyne. It certainly didnt derail
the Orange once the regular sea-
son started. They won their first
13 games and reached No. 1 for a
week in February, their first time
on top in 20 years.
There are three double-ranked
games set for Tuesday: Ohio
State at Florida, Virginia Tech at
Kansas State and San Diego State
at Gonzaga. All three are regu-
larly scheduled games and not
tournament matchups.
The fourth possible game
between ranked teams would
be Friday in either the champi-
onship or third-place game in
the 2K Sports Classic benefiting
Coaches vs. Cancer. Pittsburgh
faces Maryland in one semifi-
nal at Madison Square Garden
on Thursday while Illinois plays
Texas in the other.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. _
Eighteen weeks after the NCAAs
initial visit to campus, the agent-
related and academic-related
investigations into the North
Carolina football program are
nearly complete.
The fate of the final two indi-
vidual players involved was offi-
cially delivered Monday night.
The NCAA declared fullback
Devon Ramsay and defensive end
Michael McAdoo permanently
ineligible. Neither the NCAA nor
UNC would disclose the reason
for the players expulsion from
college football.
Ramsay played in the first four
games of the season, including
two wins, but the NCAA will
not require UNC to forfeit the
wins, UNC athletic director Dick
Baddour said. The schools fre-
quent contact with the NCAA
and good faith effort is the rea-
son the NCAA didnt make UNC
forfeit the wins, Baddour said.
When we discovered some
issues, we acted on them, Baddour
said. The (NCAA) accepted our
action in good faith.
UNC, with a 6-4 record, is eli-
gible to play in a bowl game this
season, with remaining games
at home against N.C. State on
Saturday and at Duke on Nov.
27.
Baddour said the school would
appeal the NCAAs decision on
Ramsay and McAdoos status.
The NCAA declined to com-
ment.
The loss of McAdoo and
Ramsey brings the total of UNC
players ruled out for the sea-
son to eight, with four _ receiver
Greg Little, defensive end Robert
Quinn, McAdoo and Ramsay _
ruled permanently ineligible by
the NCAA and a fifth _ defensive
tackle Marvin Austin _ dismissed
from the program by UNC.
The other three players ruled
out for the season _ safety
Jonathan Smith, safety Brian
Gupton and cornerback Charles
Brown _ are redshirting and plan
to return for the 2011 season.
Six players were cleared to
return, with five players missing
at least three games. Running
back Ryan Houston missed the
first five games and chose to
redshirt the season rather than
return for the final seven regular-
season games.
UNC has identified five players
as being involved in the agent-
related investigation Austin,
Little, Quinn, Kendric Burney
and Deunta Williams. Citing
to privacy laws, the school has
declined to designate the play-
ers involved in academic mis-
conduct.
Baddour declined to say if
either McAdoo or Ramsay was
involved in the agent-related
investigation.
Baddour said Mondays ruling
brings the investigation, which
began on July 12, closer to a
conclusion.
There is some remaining
work to be done, but we are mov-
ing along and do feel like the end
is in sight, Baddour said.
Baddour would not put a time-
table on when the school would
receive a ruling from the NCAA
about possible sanctions, which
could include the loss of scholar-
ships and a postseason ban.
Clearly the NCAA has some
work to do and has to make an
evaluation as to the extent of
what their determinations will
be, Baddour said.
Baddour said he would be
aggressive in the appeals for
McAdoo and Ramsay.
McAdoo, a 6-foot-7, 245-pound
junior, was the defensive MVP of
the spring game, with four sacks
and an interception and was
scheduled to start at defensive
end after Quinton Coples was
moved inside to replace Austin at
defensive tackle.
Ramsay, a fourth-year junior,
started two games and caught a
touchdown pass in the season-
opening loss to LSU on Sept. 4. He
also dropped a sure touchdown
pass against LSU and caused a
critical fumble in a collision with
quarterback T.J. Yates in a loss to
Georgia Tech on Sept. 18.

Buster Posey has a trophy to go
along with his World Series ring.
The San Francisco Giants
young catcher showed the lead-
ership of a veteran as he guided
a talented pitching staff all the
way to the first championship
in the franchises 53 seasons
in San Francisco. His acumen
also made him the clear choice
as the NL Rookie of the Year,
as announced by the Baseball
Writers Association of America
on Monday.
Posey easily outpointed another
kid from Georgia, Atlanta Braves
right fielder Jason Heyward,
drawing 20 of 32 first-place votes
to become the Giants first rookie
of the year since pitcher John
Montefusco in 1975.
Posey joined an exclusive club
of Giants to win the award, which
also includes Willie Mays, Willie
McCovey, Orlando Cepeda and
Gary Matthews.
Votes were due before the play-
offs began, so the Giants run to
the World Series wasnt a consid-
eration_and neither was the NL
Division Series in which Posey
outplayed Heyward as the Giants
advanced past the Braves.
It was expected to be a close
vote between the two Georgia
natives, who each were named
on 31 of 32 ballots. But Heyward
received just nine first-place votes
along with 20 second-place votes
to finish with 107 points. Posey
had nine second-place votes to
finish with 129 points.
St. Louis Cardinals right-hand-
er Jaime Garcia was named on 18
ballots, receiving 16 third-place
votes, to finish third. Notably,
Florida Marlins first baseman
Gaby Sanchez received two first-
place votes but was named on just
eight ballots.
Posey, 23, hit .305 with 18 home
runs and 67 RBIs in just 108
games after making his season
debut May 29. He caught a Giants
staff that held opponents to three
runs or fewer in 18 consecutive
games_the longest streak since
the 1917 Chicago White Sox.
He might have cemented the
award with a complete effort Sept.
21 at Wrigley Field, when he hit a
home run, caught four pitchers in
a combined two-hitter and threw
out an attempted base stealer in
a 1-0 victory over the Cubs that
kept the Giants in first place by a
half-game in the NL West.
Posey became the first player

The scheduling gods did no
favors for Turner Gill and the
Jayhawks this season. After a
rough start in conference play,
the team ends the season against
three teams in the BCS top 25.
Nebraska was the first, Oklahoma
State comes to Lawrence Saturday,
and the Border Showdown
against Missouri finishes off the
season in Kansas City.
Nebraska is eighth in the latest
BCS rankings, Oklahoma State is
10th, and Missouri is currently
15th. That might be the toughest
three-game streak to end the year
in the country.
The loss to Nebraska officially
knocked the team out of bowl eli-
gibility, as the Jayhawks needed
to win out if they wanted to fin-
ish 6-6 and make a possible bowl
appearance this December.
The conference record doesnt
tell the whole story, however, as
the team has shown small signs
of improvements the last three
weeks. Defense has played well
since halftime of the Colorado
game, and Gill looks to see more
improvements, even though
post-season play is out of the
question.
I think our last two or three
games theres been definitely
consistent improvements, and
thats all we want to do, is to con-
tinue to get better.
Gill went on to say that these
last two games will be used for
continued evaluation for next
season, but hes not changing any
game plans to win the next two
weeks.
You dont want to get caught
up with the name of the school,
he said. Youre just trying to
focus on what we need to do as a
football team, and to give us the
best chance to be successful in
each game.
The 20 points given up to
Nebraska could be considered
a success for Carl Torbushs
defense, which has struggled to
stop teams not nearly as well as
Nebraska earlier in the year. The
defense will be tested more this
Saturday, as Oklahoma State is
third in the nation in scoring,
averaging 45 points a game.
Cowboy quarterback Brandon
Weeden has been destroying sec-
ondaries all season, throwing for
3,391 yards and 27 touchdowns.
Then comes Missouri, whose
spread offense is always a threat.
The Tigers are scoring 31 points
a game, and their defense is even
better, allowing only 17 points
per contest.

Freshman quarterback Quinn Mechamtries to elude a sack during Kansas 20-3 loss to Nebraska in Lincoln Saturday evening. Kansas faces three
of its toughest opponents in the last three games of the season, including Nebraska, a home game against Oklahoma State Saturday, and the
annual Border Showdown against Missouri next weekend at Arrowhead Stadiumin Kansas City, Mo.
Jayhawks prepare for tough road ahead
against ranked Oklahoma State, Missouri
L
ast week against
Longwood, Bill Self
expressed his confidence
in senior guard Tyrel Reeds
outside shooting, despite mak-
ing only two of seven shots
beyond the arc.
Hes not a good shooter, hes
a great shooter, Self said.
Yesterday in Kansas 79-44
win against Valparaiso, Reed
backed up Self s praise with
a hot start that helped the
Jayhawks on their way to a
comfortable 44-27 halftime
lead.
Theyre very good players
and then they started hitting
threes early, Valparaiso coach
Homer Drew said. I thought
when Reed hits a couple threes,
and then that helps them get
going, then that really hurts us.
Reed, who finished the
game with 11 points, ended
up making three of eight
three-pointers, but it was his
efficiency to begin the game
that delivered an early punch to
the Lancers. After feeding the
ball to junior forward Marcus
Morris to earn a couple of
assists, Reed swished the teams
first three-point attempt. Four
minutes later, he made another
three-point attempt that put the
Jayhawks up 17-11.
We got off to a good start,
Self said. And of course Tyrel
making threes helps.
All weekend the Jayhawks
had been anticipating having
open three-point looks because
of the defense the Lancers play.
Kansas game plan included
Valparaiso leaving the team
open for three-pointers.
Just have confidence in your
guys and just let them shoot it,
junior forward Marcus Morris
said. In pregame and in prac-
tice, we knew we were going
to have a lot of threes because
they were trying to protect the
paint with the zone.
The Jayhawks preparation
paid dividends early in the
game as nine of the first 10
points that Kansas scored came
via three-point shots.
Reeds final successful three-
point attempt came with 8:38
left in the first half. It pushed
Kansas lead to double digits for
the first time in the game.
Despite the hot start for
Reed, his early three-point
success faded in the second
half. After starting the game
3-3 from three-point range, he
went 0-5 the rest of the game.
However, the Kansas lead he
helped build was large enough
that the Jayhawks were never in
serious danger of being upset
at home.
Instead, Kansas collected
its 61st straight win at home,
one win away from tying a
school record of 62-straight
wins at Allen Fieldhouse, which
occurred between 1994 and
1998.

Bill Self wasnt happy
with the defense after
Kansas topped Longwood
113-75 to start the season.
In both exhibitions and the
season opener, the oppos-
ing team had shot over 40
percent in the Jayhawks
building.
Teams have been com-
ing in here shooting 50,
40 percent, senior guard
Mario Little, that doesnt
really happen the last cou-
ple of years. That doesnt
really happen to us and we
let it happen to us the last
three games, so were really
trying to defend and show
people that we can.
Three days later, the
Jayhawks held a Valparaiso
offense coming off a 111-
point showing in its sea-
son debut to 27.4 percent
shooting in a 79-44 win.
The Crusaders scored only
17 points in the second
half, two in the last nine
minutes and 17 seconds
and zero in the last 5:11.
Self had to be happy with
that, right?
I dont think were a
good defensive team yet,
at all, Self said. I think
we were better tonight
than we have been the first
three games of the season,
so thats a positive.
Talk about damning
with faint praise.
That 17 points was
more like 30 or 35 points,
Self said. We did some
good things.
The Crusaders are
known for their three-
point shooting, but man-
aged only two threes in
19 attempts on the night,
good for an abysmal 10.5
percentage from outside.
The second half, when
they missed all seven of
their attempts, was even
worse.
I thought we couldve
played better, because
they had a couple shots
that they missed when
they were just wide open,
junior forward Marcus
Morris said. I thought we
defended real well, and I
thought we chased them
out to the three-point line
because thats what they
wanted and thats where
their players were going.
Markieff Morris said
pretty much the same
thing. Sure, the Jayhawks
played all right defensive-
ly, but holding a team to
20 percentage points less
than what they averaged
last year and 67 points
less than they scored just
a game before wasnt all
that impressive. Like Self
and his brother, he was
happy with the effort, but
far from saying it was a
complete defensive perfor-
mance.
We defended well
enough to miss a couple
shots tonight,
Not that the Jayhawks
did a whole lot of miss-
ing. The Jayhawks shot
53.4 percent from the field
in what was by far their
most complete game of the
season.
About the only person
who had nothing critical
to say of Kansas stifling
defense was Valparaiso
coach Homer Drew.
KU, with always chal-
lenging the shot, having
a high hand and just the
quickness of the game
allowed us not to be able
to get our feet set and we
rushed some shots, he
said.
It sounds like he, at least,
was a little more impressed
than Self.
It was a step in the
right direction, Self said.
It wasnt a gigantic step,
but certainly I feel better
walking out of here than I
did the other night from a
defensive standpoint.
