The grassy hill between the
Kansas Union and its park-
ing garage remains vacant
more than three months after
ground was broken there for
the Sabatini Multicultural Re-
source Center.
There is work going on;
its just not visible, said San-
tos Nez, program director
of the Multicultural Resource
Center.
Now, the focus is on pre-
construction work, identifying
power and water lines and de-
termining how to reroute them
during construction, Nez
said. Excavation is expected to
begin in a few weeks.
We encourage students to
be patient and understand that
a project this size will prob-
ably encounter some delays,
Nez said.
The construction of the new
Sabatini Multicultural Re-
source Center has encountered
no delays thus far, and should
open by fall 2007, Nez said.
Chris Reine, Kansas City,
Mo., junior, and president of
the Black Student Union, said
the center would provide op-
portunities to expand multi-
cultural awareness.
People around here are dif-
ferent and we all need to get to

Long lines at the gas pump have
translated to long lines of mopeds at
campus bike racks.
Mopeds have gained popular-
ity in the past year, given soaring
gas prices and a $70-to-$135 gap
between the cost of parking permits
for mopeds and cars.
The Parking Department has
sold 85 moped parking permits so
far this year. Ninety were sold last
year.
The efficiency of mopeds makes
them a more economic investment
than standard cars, because they
average 100 to 120 miles per gallon.
A standard sedan gets a fraction of
that. For example, a Honda Civic
averages 36 mpg. The advantages,
though, go beyond mileage.
A moped permit costs $15 per
semester or $25 per year, while a
yellow zone car permit is $85 per
semester and $160 per year.
Ricardo Hsu, Brazil junior, said
his moped got 120 mpg. Two weeks
ago, Hsu cashed in on a Lawrence
Campus Coupon
for a $150 dis-
count at SubSonic
Scooters, where
prices range from
$1,459 to $3,995.
Mike Degraw,
owner of SubSonic
Scooters, 624 N.
2nd St., sold 150 scooters last year.
He said business was so good it
outgrew his previous location on
Ninth Street.
College students are looking for
inexpensive transportation, and gas
mileage is part of that, he said.
Degraw said that if a mopeds
engine was smaller than 50 cubic
centimeters, insurance was not
required. Another plus, he said, is
that any kind of drivers license
suffices.
Even a drivers license suspend-
ed from a DUI
would work.
Daniel Kirk,
Wichita senior,
had two older
brothers who
were issued DUI
charges. The
brothers pur-
chased a moped and passed it down
to Kirk. The economic mileage kept
it in the family.
It takes $3 to fill up, Kirk said.
Its ridiculous.
Adam Wood, Lawrence sopho-
more, spends about $4 to fill his
Viper moped tank every two weeks.
He purchased his moped more than
a year ago. He said that back then,
he parked his moped next to about
four others. Now, mopeds are lined
up by the bike racks.
Wood said he didnt think he
should need a parking permit.
Its stupid, Wood said. You
dont have to buy a permit for a
bike.
Some students buy mopeds just
to avoid campus traffic and paying
for car parking permits. Thats what
Brad Scott, Parsons senior, did.
Its the best purchase Ive ever
made, he said.

T-shirts, posters and coozies are
some of the freebies that students
can expect to get this semester. The
catch: They have fill out credit card
applications.
A survey of 460 college stu-
dents conducted by the U.S. Public
Interest Research Group found that
more than two-thirds of the sur-
veyed students had credit cards and
that one-third of students obtained
those credit cards from on-campus
tables. Of that one-third, 80 percent
cited free gifts as the reason for
applying.
KU students, as well, are enticed
by the free merchandise. Bo Russell,
Atlanta junior, said he had signed up
three times for t-shirts and coozies
at KU basketball games. He said he
had even used fake
names to get free
stuff.
Casey Guccione,
Abilene senior, has
filled out credit
card applications
more than once
at basketball games, but hes got
enough paraphernalia and wont
apply again.
I get three credit card applica-
tions a week in the mail, he said.
Free gifts can be enticing, espe-
cially for college students strapped
for cash, but irresponsible credit
card use could lead to bigger prob-
lems, which go beyond unwanted
mail.
They dont
tell you credit
cards are a trap.
said Alli Jones,
Bl oomi ngt on,
Minn., sopho-
more.
A 2004 study conducted by Nellie
May, a student loan provider, found
the average credit card debt among
college students was $2,169.
Dennis Rosen, professor of mar-
keting, said credit card companies
practice of enticing students with
gifts was an accepted marketing
strategy. He compared the gifts to
cereal companies putting toys at the
bottom of the box.
Companies have used gifts for
services for a long time, Rosen
said.
Personally, I dont fault the cred-
it card companies, he said. I wish
students had the proper education
about how to properly use them.
Therein lies the problem.
There is a got to have it now
mentality, Rosen said. They think,

Topeka Freshman Jolee Kosmala
makes the inconvenient, 20-min-
ute commute from her hometown
to the University of Kansas each
morning, but nothing is incon-
venient about parking once she
arrives.
Kosmala uses the new, expan-
sive West Campus Park and Ride
lot. When she pulls in, a sign indi-
cates how many spaces are avail-
able. She hardly spends any time
waiting for a bus and then makes
the trip to campus in air-condi-
tioned comfort.
But fewer than 1,000 people are
taking advantage of the amenities
Kosmala enjoys.
Donna Hultine, director of the
Parking Department, said only 931
Park and Ride passes had been
sold as of Wednesday, less than
two-thirds of what the department
hoped for when the lot was envi-
sioned.
When we were first planning
it, we thought we could sell 1,500
passes, Hultine said.
Despite falling well short of
its goal, Hultine said the Parking
Department was not concerned,
and was even a little relieved.

Haworth evacuated briefy
because of odd smell
Haworth Hall was evacuated
for nearly 30 minutes Wednesday
morning after someone reported
a suspicious odor in the building.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey said the
University of Kansas Public Safety
Ofce received a call from the
building at 10:27 a.m. after some-
one smelled a burnt rubber-like
odor on the third foor of the
buildings Stewart Wing, the four-
story addition on the east end of
Haworth Hall. The public safety of-
fce and Lawrence-Douglas County
Fire and Medical responded to the
call. The building was evacuated
at 10:45 a.m. and students, faculty
and staf were allowed back in the
building at 11:12 a.m.
The addition houses child-care
facilities on the frst foor. Children in
those areas were evacuated to other
classrooms in the Dole Human De-
velopment Center, south of Watson
Library, said Michael Russell, director
of the department of environ-
ment, health and safety.
Russell said the problem was
solved by airing out the building.
The odor originated from a seal-
ant being used in a construction
project. As the substance hardens,
it emits a smell similar to the
chemical used to detect natural
gas leaks, which was distributed
throughout the building by air
handlers. The same handlers now
feed all of their air outside, he said.

A new Facebook stalker may
arrive soon.
Call this one the job-stalker, said
Vince Barker, associate professor of
business.
Employers have used Facebook
and MySpace to screen applicants
for jobs, and now potential employ-
ees are using social networking sites
to search for insider information
about companies and job oppor-
tunities.
A savvy person can recognize
when theyre being used for job
connections, Barker said. But you
can use that connection with people
to find out what its like to work
somewhere or to find hot-button
issues with interviewers.
Searching marketing or
accounting can bring up the names
of people who may have jobs in that
field. During the summer, MySpace
partnered with SimplyHired.com to
create a basic job search engine.
The service allows a user to
search for jobs at a company or in
a particular field, contact others
within that field or even talk to cur-
rent employees who list a place of
work on their profiles.
MySpace is the career Web site
of choice for Mandi McCoy, Olathe
senior. McCoys online profiles on
MySpace and Facebook showcase
her modeling career and regularly
draw job offers from photogra-
phers.
Everything Ive done in the last
year has been through e-mail and
the Internet, McCoy said. I dont
really use my modeling agency at
all.
McCoys most recent shoot, a
Kansas City Chiefs calendar, came
about because of a contact she made
through her MySpace account.
McCoy uses networking sites to
post pictures of previous shoots,
her modeling portfolio and contact
information for prospective pho-
tographers. She heard about various
social networking sites by word-of-
mouth.
Beware the fakers, though,
McCoy said. If a photographer
promises an all-expense-paid trip
to the Caribbean, the job probably
isnt real.
And though the profile may help
land a job, the information is out
there for anyone to review, not just
a prospective employer.
When you throw information
about yourself out there to everyone
else, you lose control over how its
used, Barker said.
Despite opening Facebook to the
employees of major companies like
Overland Park-based Sprint Nextel,
the job search isnt the biggest item
on Facebooks plate, said Melanie
Deitch, a Facebook spokeswoman.
But Facebooks founders discovered
that students tended to stay with
Facebooks social network even
after graduating.
As people leave college, we want
to make sure Facebook
continues to serve this
purpose for them,
Deitch said.
About 45 percent of
recent college alumni
check their Facebook
profiles daily, Deitch
said.
The University Career Center
encourages students to research
companies that they are interested
in working for, said David Gaston,
the centers director.
Being too gossipy or picking up
bad attitudes from a few disgruntled
employees wont help if an applicant
is eager to land a job somewhere,
Gaston said. Interviewers may ask
what kind of research an applicant
did to prepare for the interview, and
its best to present positively what
was learned.
Online net-
working can be
a proactive and
useful thing for
people if its used
in the right way,
Gaston said. If
someones objec-
tively done their research across the
board, then theyll be in the best posi-
tion for a good job.

Looking to live longer? Try get-
ting married.
According to an eight-year study
of more than 80,000 Americans,
people who never marry are 58
percent more likely to die prema-
turely than those who marry.
Two University of California
researchers conducted the study.
They used data from the 1989
National Health Interview Survey
and death certification data from
1997. The study didnt include gay
couples or unmarried heterosexual
couples living together.
The findings underline the
importance of social support, said
John Wade, counseling psycholo-
gist at Watkins Memorial Health
Center.
Wade said a stable relationship
could reduce stress and help people
build a plan for the future.
I think especially as you get
older, if youre single, its stress-
ful in a practical way, Wade said.
Financially, its easier to make it if
you have two working spouses.
Anne Peterson,
Hoy e r s we r d a ,
Germany, gradu-
ate student, met
her husband,
Ted, graduate
student in edu-
cation, in 2003,
after she replied
to his online ad for a spare room.
Peterson came to Lawrence in 2003
and they married in 2004.
About a year and a half later,
their apartment suffered severe
damage from a fire in a neighbor-
ing apartment. They saved their
cat, but most of their belongings
were ruined.
It makes it so much easier
when there are two people who
can deal with these sort of things,
Anne said. It was a very difficult
time for us.
Besides help in dealing with
disasters, Anne said she thought
marriage could lower stress levels
because of the peace of mind that
comes from being settled.
You dont have to go out every
Saturday, she said. Last night we
stayed home together and knitted.
As the song goes, one is the
loneliest number. Wade said loneli-
ness could be stressful and difficult.
I think were social beings and we
need affirmation and emotional
support, he said.
Its nice to come home to some-
body and not only a cat, Anne
said. Last year Ted had to work
nights and she said it was horrible.
Wade said good communica-
tion, mutual respect and expressed
affection were all important for a
healthy marriage.
Anne said she and Ted tried
to support each others freedoms.
Her husband has
a room, which
she referred to as
Teds dungeon,
that he keeps to
himself. Its a place
where he can
keep his clothes
on the floor.
Things like that are important,
she said.

USED BOOKS!
By Nate McgiNNis
Miltons, a favorite downtown
Lawrence restaurant, has moved
into the third floor of the Kansas
Union, providing a new on-campus
food choice.
Miltons, which opened two
weeks ago, serves breakfast from 8
a.m. until 2 p.m. and lunch from
10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Its a terrific space and a great
chance to be able to offer more
options to the students, said Kim
Nixon, manager of Miltons in the
Union.
Nixon said the Union location
had a slightly different menu from
the downtown location. The Union
location, because it lacks a pizza
oven, offers more sandwich choic-
es than the downtown store, 920
Massachusetts St. The new location
also does not have an espresso bar,
but specialty coffee drinks are avail-
able at the Miltons coffee bar on the
first floor of the Union.
Dave Lewis, owner of Miltons,
said he was excited about the

A U.S. House of Representatives
candidate spoke at a univer-
sity forum Wednesday at the
Ecumenical Christian Ministries.
Chuck Ahner, a Republican, spoke
to approximately 35 people about
his candidacy and what he could
offer if voted into Congress.
Ahner won the primary elec-
tions in August. He will run against
incumbent Rep. Dennis Moore, D-
Lawrence.
Ahner said he hoped people
could look beyond his lack of name
recognition.
People look for star power to go
to Washington, Ahner said. I ask
people to look at my record.
Ahner fielded questions from
the audience about issues such as
health care, the federal deficit and
the Iraq War.
Ahner, a former military intel-
ligence officer, said he was embar-
rassed about the failure of U.S.
intelligence leading up to the Iraq
War.
Robert Friauf, professor emeri-
tus of physics and astronomy and
a Democrat, said he came to the
forum to listen to the other sides
opinion.
I think the candidate handled
himself well, but I dont agree with
everything, Friauf said.

BAGHDAD, Iraq The top U.S.
commander in Iraq expressed opti-
mism Wednesday that Iraqi forc-
es are making enough progress to
provide their own security within
18 months. But violence showed
no sign of abating, with 66 people
killed nationwide, including 24 in a
Baghdad market bombing.
The U.S. military also reported
Wednesday that a Marine was killed
in action the day before in the vola-
tile western Anbar province.
Gen. George Casey said Iraqi
troops were on course to take over
security control from U.S.-led coali-
tion forces, a move that would bring
the foreign forces a step closer to
withdrawal from the country.
I dont have a date, but I can
see over the next 12 to 18 months,
the Iraqi security forces progressing
to a point where they can take on
the security responsibilities for the
country, with very little coalition
support, he said.
That takeover would not mean
U.S. troops leaving immediately. It
is part of a U.S. military plan to
hand over responsibilities, move
into large bases and provide sup-
port while Iraqis take the lead. A
U.S. drawdown would start after that
occurred.
His comments came even as vio-
lence surged in the capital and else-
where, undercutting claims by U.S.
and Iraqi officials that a Baghdad
security crackdown has lowered
Sunni-Shiite killings, which had
risen in June and July.
On Monday, U.S. military spokes-
man Maj. Gen. William B. Caldwell
said the murder rate in Baghdad had
fallen by 46 percent from July to
August and we are actually seeing
progress out there. That figure could
not be independently confirmed.
U.S. officials attributed the fall in
sectarian killings to a major secu-
rity crackdown launched Aug. 7.
About 8,000 U.S. troops and 3,000
Iraqi soldiers were sent to the capital
to search homes systematically and
patrol the streets.
Similar operations have curbed
violence for limited periods of time
in the past, only to have killings flare
again once American forces left.
A bomb struck one of Baghdads
largest market areas, where food,
clothing and household goods are
sold, killing at least 24 people and
wounding 35, police said.
In Hillah, 60 miles south of the
capital, a man posing as a potential
army cadet left a bomb-laden bicycle
outside a recruiting center, killing 12
people, police said. Insurgents often
target Iraqi army and police recruits
as a way to discourage volunteers.
Elsewhere, a roadside bomb
killed a family of five in Buhriz, 35
miles north of the capital, when
a roadside bomb struck their car.
Bombings and shootings elsewhere
in the country killed another 25
people, according to police.
Still, Casey said he was optimistic
about security in Iraq and he said
an operation to crack down on vio-
lence in the capital was producing
results although more needed to
be done.
Im pleased with the progress to
date, but we have a long way to go,
Casey said. And were not going to
let up until we get where were going
and bring security to the neighbor-
hoods of Baghdad.
Asked if Iraqi forces were capable
of taking over completely after the
12 to 18 month period, allowing
U.S.-led coalition forces to withdraw,
Casey said that would depend on the
situation at that time.
Im not sure yet, he said of the
Iraqi security capability. And well
adjust that as we go. But a lot of that,
in fact the future coalition presence,
12 to 18 months from now, is going
to be decided by the Iraqi govern-
ment.
The coalition has been train-
ing and equipping Iraqi forces, and
Casey said they are now 75 percent
along the path of being able to oper-
ate alone.
Theres still more work to do for
them to become independent, he
said, adding that during that pro-
cess, they will still have our support
and our substantial presence here to
assist them.
Casey also said the U.S. was trou-
bled by an incident in which Iraqi
soldiers in the south mutinied and
refused to be deployed to Baghdad
for a massive security operation
under way in the capital, and by
the looting last week of a base that
British forces had turned over to
Iraqi authorities.
This weeks bloodshed includ-
ed some of the fiercest fighting in
months between the Iraqi army and
Shiite militiamen loyal to radical
cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Mondays
battle in the town of Diwaniyah left
73 people dead 50 militia and 23
soldiers.
Iraqi troops soon ready to take over
Despite no signs of an end to the violence, the U.S. may
hand over security control to Iraqi forces within 18 months

Peter Bollig is packing his bags
and heading for Hong Kong for the
Fall 2006 semester as a recipient of
a Freeman-ASIA scholarship. He
said his goal was to become fluent
in Chinese by practicing his skills
hands-on.
Bollig is one of seven University
of Kansas students receiving a
Freeman-ASIA scholarship to study
abroad in Asia, a continent growing
economically but lagging behind in
study abroad interest.
Renee Frias, program coordina-
tor for the Office of Study Abroad,
said 74.8 percent of KU students
who studied abroad studied in
Europe last year while only 8.4 per-
cent studied in Asia.
The Freeman Foundation began
the Freeman-ASIA award program
in 2000 to address discrepancies
like this. Bollig said the lack of
attention toward Asia was one rea-
son he decided to apply for the
scholarship.
Despite the major economic
and political powers in Asia, I feel
many Americans dismiss this large
part of our world, Bollig said. It
is definitely
important to
understand the
world we live in,
especially the
aspects which
we least com-
prehend.
More than
2,500 American
students nation-
wide, including
31 KU students,
have received
assistance from
the Freeman-
ASIA program
since it began.
The seven
recipients of the
Freeman-ASIA scholarships this
year are Bollig, Mariah Richardson,
Lawrence senior, Julian Portillo,
Lawrence senior, Shan Lu, Overland
Park sophomore, Michael Sothan,
Leawood senior, Rick Edward
Winfrey, Wichita senior, and R.D.
Andrew Stark, Yates Center junior.
Frias said the Freeman-ASIA
program awarded $3,000 scholar-
ships for a summer study abroad
session, $5,000
for a single
semester ses-
sion and
$7,000 for
year-long ses-
sion. Students
apply for the
s c hol a r s hi p
through the
Office of Study
Abroad.
Frias said a
requirement to
be considered
for the pro-
gram was that
applicants work
with an adviser
through the
office.
If granted the scholarship, the
program requires that students pro-
pose a service project, in which the
students would use their experienc-
es to promote study abroad in Asia
once they return to the University.
Overall, for many majors, study
in Asia is important, Frias said.
Asia is a growing economic sec-
tor, there is a lot of potential for
imports and exports. It is important
that Americans know about the
possibilities.
Students interested in applying
for the Freeman-ASIA scholarship
program can contact the Office of
Study Abroad at 864-3742 or visit
108 Lippincott Hall.

The Lawrence Chamber of
Commerce and the University of
Kansas have teamed up for a con-
cert to extend homecoming activi-
ties for students and alumni.
The Lawrence City Commission
approved a proposal for the concert
to take place on the evening of
Friday, Oct. 6. The Michael Beers
Band has been scheduled to open
the event. Organizers are still work-
ing with other artists to book two
other acts.
Get Downtown will be the
first time the University and the
chamber have worked together to
create a homecoming event. The
chamber had proposed live music
for the Friday preceding the game,
the same night the University had
scheduled a similar event at Potter
Lake.
Jennifer Alderdice, director of
student programs at the Alumni
Association, said the chamber
approached the homecoming com-
mittee to combine the two events.
The University of Kansas Alumni
Association will help pay for the
entertainment.
Rick Marquez, director of
Downtown Lawrence, Inc., said the
concert would take place on Eighth
Street between Massachusetts and
New Hampshire Streets. The com-
mission also approved a temporary
liquor license for sale of alcoholic
beverages outdoors. Security will
be present to deter violent behavior
during the event, Marquez said.
Alderdice said the homecoming
committee was attempting to get
students and alumni to spend more
time in Lawrence for homecoming,
rather than arriving just for the
game and leaving afterward.
It may become a tradition,
Alderdice said. Even if the city
doesnt participate again, we would
like to continue it.
The chamber surveyed business-
es along the affected area before
submitting the proposal to see if
any vendors objected to the event.
Susan Henderson, director of mar-
keting for the chamber, said all of
the businesses were in full support
of the event.
Its a positive thing for down-
town, she said. Any time you get a
big group of people in one place, its
going to have a positive effect.
The event is open to all commu-
nity members, Henderson said.

AIRPLANE CRASH
BY JEFFREY MCMURRAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. The
deadly Comair crash last week-
end threw a spotlight on a prac-
tice aviation experts say goes
on around the country: Small
regional airports are sometimes
manned by a single air trafc
controller, even though federal
rules require two.
The Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration has directed Blue
Grass Airport and others like
it to staff their towers with at
least two controllers. But only
one was working Sunday when
the pilot of Comair Flight 5191
mistakenly tried to take off
from a runway that was too
short, killing 49 of 50 people
on board.
In a policy outlined in a di-
rective last November, the FAA
said two controllers must be
on duty for all shifts at any air-
port that handles both control
tower observations and radar
operations.
But Ken Spirito, director of
a regional airport in Peoria, Ill.,
said it was common for some
late-night and early morning
shifts to be staffed with only
one controller. Someone may
call in sick or take a vacation,
and the FAA usually decides
to keep the airport open, he
said.
The mandate that is issued
by FAA is only as good as the
stafng levels at that particular
tower, Spirito said.
FAA spokeswoman Laura
Brown said that at the time of
the accident, there were only
two other towers in Duluth,
Minn., and Fargo, N.D. that
were not following the policy
to staff with two controllers.
We have claried the guid-
ance for them, Brown said.
She said stafng was adjust-
ed at four other towers earlier
this month, before the Comair
crash. This is an issue weve
been looking at, she said.
Scott Zoeckler, who worked
as a controller at Blue Grass for
25 years before retiring in 2004,
said the overnight and early
morning shifts were usually
manned by only one person.
On Sunday, the controller
on duty at the Lexington air-
port had turned his back to
perform some administrative
duties when the plane veered
onto the wrong runway, inves-
tigators said. The controller, a
17-year veteran at the airport,
has not been identied.
The rst ofcer, James Pole-
hinke, remained hospitalized
Wednesday in critical condi-
tion.
Jed Doty, a Louisville ight
instructor who also ew briey
for Comair last year, said it was
the pilots duty to get on the
right runway.
Its your responsibility to
immediately speak up because,
especially in busy airports, you
can get in some pretty bad situ-
ations pretty quickly, Doty
said.
On Wednesday, six tour bus-
es took the victims families to
the crash site for the rst time.
The airport also established a
memorial in a parking lot, fea-
turing a banner reading Re-
membering 5191 with pens for
people to write messages.

We dont think its a bad thing, Hultine said. In
retrospect, were kind of glad we didnt sell that huge
number right away. Its letting us take time for schedul-
ing and figuring out the ebb and flow of classes.
Hultine said she didnt expect many more students to
buy Park and Ride passes at this point in the school year,
which would make the current total close to final.
Students who do use the lot, however, enjoy the
amenities the new system offers.
The buses are way nice, said Krista Miller,
Richlands, Va., senior. Theyre air conditioned so I
dont have to sweat on the way to classes, which is a
big plus.
Miller said she would recommend the Park and
Ride lot.
She said she was also happy with the bus route and
the number of spaces in the lot, as well as the bus
schedule.
At peak times they come frequently enough, Miller
said.
Kosmala also said that delays were not a problem.
Youve just got to know what time to get here,
Kosmala said.
Park and Ride passes can still be purchased for $205
through the parking department.

But not all students are quick to accept the free
t-shirts offered by credit card companies soliciiting
on campus.
There are other options. Commerce Bank at
the Kansas Union offers credit cards with a $1,000
limit to help protect its student customers from
overdrafting their checking accounts. Commerce
addresses students at New Student Orientation,
shows a power point presentation during Academic
Success Week and offers pamphlets at its locations
about how to use credit cards and manage credit.
Lindsay Feil, Russell freshman, said that she
learned from the mistake her brother made when
he was a student and that she hadnt filled out any
credit card applications.
Nothings ever free, Feil said.

WICHITA A Wichita manufac-
turing company, its owner and a gen-
eral manager pleaded guilty Wednes-
day to knowingly hiring illegal
immigrants and agreed to pay a total
of $210,000 in fnes. The companys
foreman pleaded not guilty.
Bob Eisel Powder Coatings and its
owner and president, Bob Eisel, plead-
ed guilty to a single count of making
false written statements to the govern-
ment after reaching a plea agreement
with prosecutors in the case. General
manager Kenric Butch Steinert also
pleaded guilty to the same charge.
Company foreman Troy Hook en-
tered a not guilty plea earlier in the
day to the same 28-count indictment
that had initially faced all the defen-
dants in the case.
Eisel and Steinert acknowledged
they intentionally made false state-
ments between 2002 and 2005 to the
U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.
According to the superseding in-
formation, the men told authorities
that Francisco Javier Avila-Garcia,
also known as Poncho, presented
employment documents that were
genuine when in fact they knew the
documents were fraudulent.
There is a message here for law-
abiding employers, U.S. Attorney
Eric Melgren said in a news release.
Knowingly assisting illegal aliens to
appear qualifed for employment in
this country is a crime.
Melgren said the company singled
itself out for criminal prosecution by
deliberately trying to get around fed-
eral laws requiring workers to verify
their right to work in this country.
Here in the interior of the United
States, were focusing on employers
who systematically violate the laws
against hiring illegal aliens, Melgren
said. Everyone in Kansas should be
aware this enforcement effort is ongo-
ing.
Neither the defendants nor a de-
fense attorney commented to report-
ers after the hearing.
The single count to which the de-
fendants pleaded guilty carries a max-
imum penalty of fve years in federal
prison.
As part of the plea agreement, pros-
ecutors agreed to seek the low end of
sentencing guidelines. The company
also agreed to pay a $175,000 fne.
Eisel agreed to pay a $25,000 fne,
while Steinert agreed to a $10,000
fne.
The judge is not bound by the plea
agreement when he sentences the
men.
The original indictment included
eight counts of making false state-
ments to the U.S. government, eight
counts of misusing Social Security
numbers, eight counts of receiving
false documents as evidence of stay or
employment, three counts of aggra-
vated identity theft and one count of
harboring illegal aliens.
Wood, who has not reached a plea
agreement, still faces those charges.
When the company began receiv-
ing periodic letters in 2002 from the
Social Security Administration noti-
fying it that several of its employees
were working under suspicious Social
Security numbers, the company told
employees they would have to obtain
different numbers to continue work-
ing, according to the indictment.
The company would then rehire
the same worker using the new iden-
tifcation, while allowing the worker
to retain any benefts such as vacation
or sick leave tied to length of service,
the indictment charges. Prosecutors
have said many of the same employ-
ees worked under as many as fve or
six separate false identities over a pe-
riod of years.

Thornburgh commented after he, Gov. Kath-

1 balloting.
Turnout totaled just 18.2 percent, or 229,000

voters. The previous low for a statewide primary
was 25.8 percent, in 2002.

Students living in the scholarship
halls may have to wait until spring
before the Wilma Willie Crawford
C o m m u n i t y
Center opens.
Located at
1346 Louisiana St.
among the schol-
arship halls, the
building will serve
as a gathering
point for residents
from all 11 schol-
arship halls.
There will be
an area for students to hang out
and socialize or study, said Sarah
Hayner, scholarship halls complex
director.
The community center was origi-
nally scheduled to be open when
students returned to campus for the
fall semester. When students moved
into the scholar-
ship halls though,
they saw the out-
side of the white
two-story building
wrapped in cau-
tion tape. Inside
the building, bare
wood stood where
walls would even-
tually be built.
The project
went through a number of unexpect-
ed delays, preventing the center from
being ready in the projected time
frame. When construction crews
started working on the buildings
foundation, they found it was no
longer stable. The building had to be
moved forward and the foundation
was repaired, said Diana Robertson,
interim director of department of
student housing.
Finding funds for the unexpected
extra construction was another cause
for the delayed opening. The depart-
ment of student housing covered the
extra expenses.
Other miscellaneous hang-ups
also prevented the project from being
completed on time. Before construc-
tion crews could start repairing the
foundation, paperwork had to be
filed with the state. A shortage of
construction crews in Lawrence dur-
ing the summer also added to the
delay.
Each hall has individual living
and dining areas, but there isnt a
place for all of the scholarship hall
community to gather, Robertson
said.
The building will also hold the
office of the All Scholarship Hall
Council, a conference room that can
be used for meetings or for students
to study or work on projects and a
small kitchenette. The upper level of
the community center will house an
office and apartment for the com-
plex, director Hayner said.
Resources offered by the Crawford
Community Center arent limited to
rooms inside the building.
A definite date hasnt been set for
the doors to open. Robertson pre-
dicted that January was the earliest
it would be completed, but that the
center might not be finished until
later in the Spring 2007 semester.
Despite the wait, students are
still looking forward to the centers
completion.
I think its worth investing in
something that will improve all the
schol halls and change the dynamic
of the community, said Jen Mayer,
All Scholarship Hall Council repre-
sentative.
Before becoming the Crawford
Community Center, the building was
the home of Reginald and Juanita
Strait. Because they lived near the
halls, the Straits befriended many of
the residents.
The house and grounds were
donated by Juanita Straight after
she passed away. She gave them to
the community because of her close
connection with the scholarship hall
residents, Hayner said.
A donation from scholarship hall
alumni Tom and Jan Rudkin covered
the expenses to transform the house
into the community center. The cen-
ter is named after Jans mother.

Theres a new club on campus for
students who wish to one day own
a small business. Two KU students
started the KU Entrepreneur Club
in an attempt to help fellow aspiring
entrepreneurs.
Theres nothing here at Kansas
right now for entrepreneurs to get
involved with. Its just an easy way
for people that have ideas or are
interested in starting a small business
to get information, club member
Adam Masonbrink, Fairway senior,
said. Masonbrink said he hoped the
club would be firmly established by
mid-September.
The club is the brainchild of Justin
McAuley, Houston, Texas, senior, a
student in the School of Business.
Last year I had a few ideas for
my own line and I realized theres
really nowhere to go or nobody to
talk to and I thought it would be cool
if there was a club where students
could meet and facilitate thought
and ask questions and get answers,
McAuley said.
Masonbrink and McAuley said
that they were the two main members,
but that more students had shown
interest in the club. The group is also
receiving back-
ing from Wally
Meyer Jr., director
of entrepreneur-
ship programs at
the University of
Kansas.
A c c o r d i n g
to Meyer, the
University has
several courses
and degree pro-
grams in entrepreneurship at both
the graduate and undergradu-
ate level, all of which have been
established within the last year. The
new club, like the
courses, is open to
all students, not
just those in the
school.
Students like
McAuley already
have ideas they
wish to pursue.
Mc A u l e y s
work-in-progress,
a business called
The Food Patio, would allow people
to access a Web site and order food
from local restaurants. The order
would be sent to the restaurant via
fax and the food would then be
delivered to the customer.
Possible future activities for the
club include lectures by local guest
speakers and tours of nearby busi-
nesses. The group is discussing its
future financial picture, though.
The Universitys sponsorship is a
possibility. The students paying their
own way in terms of donations is a
possibility, Meyer said.
Interest in entrepreneurship seems
to be growing at the University.
Meyer said the recently introduced
courses are gaining popularity.
In the very first entrepreneur-
ship class that we offered last year
we had 85 students sign up without
any advertising. This year weve got
another 65 or 70 students signed up
and the majority of them are from
schools other than the School of
Business, Meyer said.

Storm causes less damage than
forecasters original predictions
By marGarET lIllarD
associated Press
RALEIGH, N.C. North
and South Carolina put hun-
dreds of National Guardsmen
on standby Wednesday for fear
the rainy remnants of Tropical
Storm Ernesto could cause se-
vere fooding.
Forecasters said Ernesto
could drench the eastern half
of North Carolina with as
much as seven inches of rain
on Thursday and Friday. A
separate storm system arriving
ahead of Ernesto also threat-
ened the region.
We could get a clobbering
today, National Weather Ser-
vice forecaster Phil Badgett
said.
Ernesto weakened to a tropi-
cal depression while crawl-
ing north through Florida. Its
winds were less a concern to
emergency offcials than the
prospect of downpours.
Ernesto was expected to
move off the Florida coast by
evening and possibly regain
tropical storm strength. Fore-
casters predicted it would
come ashore again Thursday
along the South Carolina coast
and reach North Carolina by
Thursday night.
We know were going to
get a lot of rain. We know this
is going to be a water event,
North Carolina Gov. Mike Ea-
sley said.
Easley activated 150 Na-
tional Guardsmen and ordered
the State Emergency Response
Team to prepare for fooding
and power outages. Guard
troops in South Carolina
were on standby, Lt. Col. Pete
Brooks said.
North Carolina has struggled
this summer with on-again, off-
again drought.
If we could get the rain
where it was spread out over
12 to 24 hours, where it was
a good, soaking rain, (food-
ing) would not be an issue,
Badgett said.
On James Island, one of a
string of barrier islands on the
South Carolina coast, Gerald
Galbreath collected 24 sand
bags. Its just precautionary,
he said.
At 8 p.m. EDT, Ernesto was
centered just northwest of Mel-
bourne, Fla., moving north at
near 15 mph. The depression
had winds near 35 mph, or
about 4 mph below tropical
storm strength.
It was expected to be over
the Atlantic near Cape Canav-
eral within a few hours, the Na-
tional Hurricane Center said.
The storm had not affected
the space shuttle, which may
launch next week after a light-
ning strike and Ernesto forced
delays.
Little storm damage was re-
ported in Florida, where Ernes-
to came ashore Tuesday night.

Conservatives are realistic, not heartless
KU should teach I.D.
Grant Snider/KANSAN
our view
commentary
commentary
For my birthday a couple of
weeks ago, a good friend of mine
from K-State gave me a T-shirt
hed ordered off the Internet. Its
bright red with white lettering that
reads, Ice Cold Conservative, with
Conservative printed in the Coca-
Cola font.
My favorite thing about this shirt
is that it characterizes conservatives
as ice cold. Conservatives take a lot
of pride in this characterization. We
call ourselves heartless, as opposed
to those bleeding-heart liberals
who turn into a pile of mush at any
sob story. Well tastelessly joke to
one another about how we some-
times punch homeless people for
fun (we dont really punch home-
less people, but we do occasionally
make the joke). National Reviews
Jonah Goldberg once wrote that
he did what you might expect a
conservative columnist to do. I told
young orphans there is no Santa
Claus. (He was kidding.) We really
have a good time with this stereo-
type.
As you can imagine, these sort
of remarks dont play well to a
non-conservative audience that usu-
ally doesnt find them very funny
(Im sure The Kansans mailbox
is already full of hate mail about
that previous paragraph). And
before I dig myself into a hole and
negate the whole point of writing
this column, I should tell you that
Im really not heartless; I really do
want to help the homeless, and
Jonah Goldberg doesnt really hate
orphaned children. But well all
continue to make the jokes.
While its all right for someone
like me or any other conservative
political junkie to call ourselves
heartless, it doesnt translate well for
politicians.
President Bush is the perfect
illustration of this point. To com-
bat the belief that conservatives
dont care about the less-fortunate
in society, he ran on a platform of
compassionate conservatism in
the 2000 and 2004 presidential cam-
paigns. In 2003 he gave the famous
or for conservatives, infamous
line, We have a responsibility
that when somebody hurts, govern-
ment has got to move. This is why
some conservatives have character-
ized Bush as a liberal, or at least a
conservative who uses liberal meth-
ods i.e. government intervention
to solve problems.
Most conservatives would say
that somebodys pain should not
prompt government to do any-
thing. Government is ineffective
and inefficient and should be more
concerned with protecting freedoms
than applying Neosporin to societys
cuts.
Out on the campaign trail, how-
ever, thats not what people want
to hear. Politically, its easier to say
that, once elected, youll get the
government to solve everyones
problems. Health care is too expen-
sive? The government will create a
universal health care program. Gas
costs are too high? The government
will put a price control on it. Its
hard to live on the minimum wage?
The government will raise it.
These promises sound good to
constituents. These are the com-
passionate things to do. But most
conservatives oppose them because
these actions have costs, and the
trade-off required to achieve those
goals is often worse than the status
quo.
Liberals mistake conservative
opposition to compassionate poli-
cies for heartlessness. Of course,
this isnt true. But it makes for a
good joke.

litical science and economics.
Watch out for scams
Have you ever wished that
while you were walking to class, an
extremely attractive person would
approach you and ask for your
phone number? It happens to me
all the time. But Im not bragging;
these people arent really after me
anyway, they are after my money. I
probably sound like an egotistical
jerk, but the truth is Im not stuck
up or talking about gold-diggers.
Im talking about magazine sales-
people.
Every year about this time, these
salespeople swarm all over campus.
They claim to sell magazines for
various charities or causes, and that
if you buy magazines from them,
they can earn points to go on a free
vacation. Unfortunately, the chari-
table organizations they allegedly
represent often never receive the
money and customers dont always
receive their magazines.
There is a growing epidemic
of magazine sales scams going
on at college campuses all across
the country. At the University of
Arizona, a student recently reported
that magazine salespeople had
scammed her out of money for a
magazine subscription she never
received. This summer, Dartmouth
College in New Hampshire reported
a magazine scam artist who falsely
claimed to be fundraising for the
schools football team. These are just
a couple of the many examples.
Now dont get me wrong, there
are plenty of legitimate organiza-
tions that raise funds by selling
things on campus, but the methods
these magazine scammers use are
deceptive. They will approach you
on campus as though they are hit-
ting on you, or they will act like
your best friend. They do this for no
other reason than to make you, the
customer, more likely to buy what
they are selling. They keep up this
ultra-friendly routine until you say
no. At that point, the other shoe
drops, and your new best friend
turns into your worst enemy. In
fact, these unscrupulous magazine
salespeople have cussed out friends
of mine simply because they werent
interested in buying any magazines.
Tim Norris, director of the KU
Bookstores, said potential on-cam-
pus vendors must go through the
Events Committee before receiv-
ing a permit to sell things legally.
Student organizations receive
permission to do so almost all of
the time. If someone approaches
you claiming to be fundraising for
a student organization, ask to see
their permit. Student organizations
should not have trouble producing a
permit to raise funds on campus.
So the next time an incredibly
attractive person comes up to you
and asks you on a date before giving
you a sales pitch, remember the old
adage, If it seems too good to be
true, it probably is.

Show some guts, KU. Teach
intelligent design.
Last fall, a religion class,
Special Topics in Religion:
Intelligent Design, Creationism
and other Religious Mythologies,
drew attemtion after its profes-
sor, Paul Mirecki, wrote on a list
server that the class would serve
as a slap in the big fat face of
religious fundamentalists.
Conservative state legislators
questioned Mireckis intent with
the class, and some even sug-
gested withholding funding from
the University.
So, under pressure, the
University scrapped the class.
Chancellor Hemenway sent
the right message to conserva-
tive legislators who didnt want
the class taught at all, saying
clearly that it was being canceled
because of Mirecki, not because
of the content of the class.
The University needs to take
on contentious issues, and there
is no issue in Kansas as conten-
tious as the evolution vs. intel-
ligent design debate.
So whats become of the class?
Not much.
Tim Miller, chairman of the
Department of Religious Studies,
said he still wants to offer the
class, but wont say when.
The spring 2007 schedule is
already set, and the class isnt
included. During the next month,
the department will draw up the
schedule for next fall.
Miller said that if the class is
offered, it would likely be team-
taught by several lecturers to
show the varying perspectives on
the subject. But he said schedul-
ing such classes was complicated,
and he didnt know if the depart-
ment could get it worked out
in time to offer the class a year
from now.
If we can figure out these
problems with it, and get every-
thing lined up, wed like to go
ahead and do it, he said.
So, go ahead and do it. The
time to teach the class is now,
while students are interested.
The University needs to offer
this class, and show legislators its
not scared to do so.
Frank Tankard for the editorial
board.

Watching Brian Murphs
frst punt return of last season
was nerve-racking for football
coach Mark Mangino.
Murph initially fumbled the
ball in the frst quarter of the
Fort Worth Bowl, retreating all
the way to the Jayhawks 15-
yard line. After regaining con-
trol of the ball, Murph made
his move back up the feld,
straddling the Houston side-
line as he cut upfeld into open
space, scoring the Jayhawks
frst touchdown of the game.
Mangino was pleased with
the result, but not exactly hap-
py with how Murph started
out the return.
I like that he ended up in
the end zone, Mangino said.
I dont like the way he started
that particular play out. I have
confdence in his ability to run
the punts back after the ball
is under his arm. Now he is
working on gaining our conf-

Jayhawk football fans are
used to praying for a revival.
This season, according to the
national media, it may actually
happen.
Some sports publications
across the country have weighed
in with unusual optimism for a
program that has spent most of
the last 10 years hovering near
the cellar of the Big 12 North.
Of the ten publications sur-
veyed for this story, six project
the Jayhawks to fnish fourth or
better.
Since the inception of the
Big 12 in 1996, the Jayhawks
highest fnish in the six-team
north division was 4th in 1999,
when the team went 3-5 in con-
ference play.
Because of the preseason
pr edi ct i ons ,
the Jayhawks
will have to
deal with
something they
arent used to:
Higher expec-
tations. The
national con-
sensus is that
the Kansas is
a team on the
rise.
A t h l o n
Sports sees a
giant leap in
the standings,
pegging Kan-
sas second in
the north. CBS
S p o r t s l i n e
projects the Jayhawks to fnish
third, along with a Dec. 30 trip
to San Antonio,
Texas to play a
Big 10 school
in the Alamo
Bowl.
KU has an
excellent shot
of getting to
their 3rd bowl
in 4 years, Phil
Steele wrote.
The Kan-
sas City Star
is predicting a
7-5 season and
a trip to the
Independence
Bowl, which
will be played
in Shreveport,
La., on Dec. 28,
and pits the Big 12 against the
SEC.
The pressure from these pre-
dictions will fall on a quarter-
back who has never taken a
collegiate snap, and a defense
that lost the Big 12 Defensive
Player of the Year, linebacker
Nick Reid, among many other
starters.
The Jayhawks strong 2005
campaign, which included a 7-
5 fnish and a Fort Worth Bowl
victory, has stirred optimism in-
side the program as well.
We obviously had some suc-
cess last season, coach Mark
Mangino said. That success
has helped tremendously with
our program in terms of the
confdence were building in
The smell of brats cooking on
an open fame. The sound of the
marching band playing the alma
mater. The roar of the crowd as
the players rush onto the feld.
The illusion of acres of wheat
drifting at Memorial Stadium af-
ter a Kansas touchdown.
These are things that I have been
missing for a long time: The sights
and sounds of football. After spend-
ing two years covering the team for
the Kansan, Saturday will mark the
first time in more than two years that
I attend a football game as a fan.
I wont miss my return to fandom
on Saturday, and here are some rea-
sons you shouldnt either.
With kickoff set for 6 p.m.,
you and your friends have the
entire day to get ready for the
action. You can watch the early
games from around the nation
or make predictions about how
many touchdowns Kerry Meier
will throw later in the day. Most
importantly, the late kickoff
gives you what feels like endless
hours of tailgating complete
with plenty of cold ones be-
fore heading into the stadium.
Every year, many students
head home during the frst foot-
ball game of the season because
of Labor Day weekend. I always
thought it was ridiculous to do
so. During my freshman year I
watched the frst game of the
season, and my frst game at
Kansas, in a virtual monsoon.
That year Kansas lost to North-
western. This year Kansas has
Northwestern State and I guar-
antee you Kansas wont lose by
eight like it did in 2003.
Theres no place like Memori-
al Stadium on game day. Theres
not the stress of preparing for
a game at Allen Fieldhouse.
Theres no need to camp out for
seats or the need to get there
early enough that tailgating has
no purpose. Go home Sunday if
you have to and enjoy the expe-
rience of game day at the stadi-
um. You can go home any time,
but there are only seven home
football games. We all should
relish our time at the games.
There will be a lot of faces
taking to the feld on Saturday
that you might not recognize.
You need to get acquainted with
them. Names like Mike Rivera,
Jake Sharp, Joe Mortensen and
Blake Bueltel are some that will
catch your eye right away. These
players are the future of the team
and will be the primary factors
involved in bringing this years
squad back to a bowl game.
If nothing else, you should
go to the game on Saturday
to simply see how the team
looks. Throughout training
camp, Kansas players have
talked about how impressive
freshman quarterback Kerry
Meier has looked. Granted, his
showing this weekend against
a I-AA opponent will not tell
us how he will look against
Nebraska later in the month,
but Meiers performance will
give us a good indication of
how improved the quarter-
back position and the overall
offense are this year.
So I will leave you with one
question: Where will you be
on game day?

Add Texas Tech to the short
list of contenders that could
win the Big 12 South, but his-
torically its odds are slim.
Eight times in the frst 10
years of the Big 12 Conferences
existence, Texas or Oklahoma
has fnished frst in the South.
1998 was the last year neither
team played in the conference
championship game; instead it
was Texas A&M.
Texas Tech players agree
that Texas and Oklahoma de-

spotlight.
Its up to use to change
that, senior linebacker

not us sitting back and saying
were tired of hearing that; we
have to change that.
What may take Texas Tech
to Texas and Oklahomas level
in 2006 is a veteran defense
to match its high-powered of-
fense. Nine projected starters
are either juniors or seniors.

The biggest sport club on
the campus of the University of
Kansas would not mind grow-
ing even bigger.
KU Crew, with more than
60 members, trumps all other
sport clubs in terms of size and
budget.
The club is a great oppor-
tunity for anyone who wants
to get involved on campus and
play a sport, too, said Jon Rog-
ers, club president and Over-
land Park senior. Were one of
the most active clubs on campus
and everyone is able to meet a
lot of great guys and girls.
With 35 men and 25 women
already on board for the fall,
the club always welcomes new
participants. The team splits up
into a varsity group and a nov-
ice group, with each practicing
fve days a week.
The team competes in four
competitions each semester,
with fve-kilometer races in the
fall and two-kilometer races in
the spring. Travel takes the club
as far as Philadelphia for the
annual Dad Vail Regatta, the
largest collegiate regatta in the
United States.
The men won the Sunfower
State Championships, a com-
petition among the University,
Wichita State and Kansas State,
last year to solidify its spot as
the best team in the state. The
women placed ffth in the Head
of Charles Regatta in Boston.
Rogers has high hopes for the
upcoming season.
We have most of our top per-
formers returning. It should be an
even better year, Rogers said.
Rogers said that contrary to
popular belief, very few club
members had rowing experi-
ence before joining the club.
The club is able to teach all
interested participants proper
rowing technique. Rogers said
the club was a sweeping team,
whose members uses only one
oar, compared to a skull team,
whose members use two.
With about 10 shells, or
boats, in good condition, the
club is able to practice regularly
on the Kansas River at Burcham
Park. The feet is highlighted by
a brand new eight-man shell,
recently purchased for $27,000.
When not on the river, the Jay-
hawks are able to train indoor
on 25 indoor rowing machines
called ergometers. The ma-
chine, often referred as an erg,
is able to calculate stroke rate
and split time. Other indoor
training includes biking, run-
ning and playing basketball.
As a self-suffcient club sport,
the team does its own fundrais-
ing. The most popular event is an
erg-a-thon, where team members
receive donations for the amount
of time spent on an erg.
The season is already under-
way for KU Crew, but interested
participants can still join. For
information, e-mail jarog7@

Six years after Dylen Smith
led the Kansas football team as
quarterback, he is an assistant
high-school football coach. Being
around the sport of football gives
Smith an opportunity to reminisce
about his time as a Jayhawk.
In the days leading up to the
2000 Kansas football season, there
was a feeling around campus that
the Jayhawks were about to have
that one breakout season that
would get Kansas to its first bowl
game since 1995 and save head
coach Terry Allens job.
The Jayhawks had many re-
turning starters that year, the
biggest and brightest being
senior quar-
terback Dylen
Smith. Smith,
who came to
Kansas be-
fore the 1999
season as a
junior from
Santa Monica
Communi t y
College, gave
Jayhawk fans
something to
cheer about
that year when he threw for
1,599 yards after replacing
an injured Zac Wegner. As
the 2000 season approached,
Smith could feel there was
something missing from that
team.
Everybody on that team
was kind of laid-back and re-
laxed. We werent a rah, rah
type of team, which maybe
hurt us a little bit, Smith said.
Smith, who threw more pass-
es for Terry Allen than any other
quarterback, thought that some
of the easy-going attitude was
passed down by the coach.
Terry Allen was a players
coach, he wasnt a yeller. Some
people need coaches to motivate
them, others dont, Smith said.
Terry Allen felt that we should
have motivated ourselves.
That year the Jayhawks only
went 4-7, but did show the
fans a glimpse of what they
could have been with a 38-17
victory at Missouri.
All week, I had never seen
the team so determined. The
breakfast before the game, it
was dead quiet, nobody was
talking, everybody was fo-
cused. That was one of my fa-
vorite games.
Football was still in Smiths
blood after he left Kansas. He
wanted to head north to Cana-
da to try his hand at the Cana-
dian Football League. Smiths
body, though, didnt match his
ambitions. He tore a muscle
in his shoulder his frst week
there. Smith went through re-
hab and tried to come back a
year later, but again his shoul-
der gave out. After another
year of rehab, he was going to
give it one more shot.
I thought about coming
back and playing arena foot-
ball, but then tore my shoul-
der again, Smith said. And
after three
shoulder sur-
geries in three
years, I gave
up playing and
went back to
school.
Now Smith
roams the
sidelines as an
assistant coach
at Malibu
High School
in Malibu, Ca-
lif., not far from where he grew
up. But Smith is at the end of
his coaching career. He is only
three weeks away from getting
his degree from Colorado Tech
University via the Internet.
Even though Smith is giving
up coaching, he will still be
working and trying to motivate
young people.
I want to work with kids
as a student probation offcer,
Smith says.
While Smith ponders his fu-
ture in California, he likes the
direction Kansas is headed.
I like what they are doing at
Kansas now, I really feel they
have brought the right players
in and are moving forward.
And though Kansas was just
9-14 when Smith was here, his
memories are still good ones.
I loved it there, I am a
proud alumni and hope in the
future to come back and watch
a game.

our players and the direction
that were going.
Mangino knows all too well
which direction Kansas is com-
ing from. Entering his ffth
season, he has an 8-24 career
record in conference play, but
has gradually built his program
up from an 0-8 start in 2002.
With a schedule that has re-
moved two powers, Texas and
Oklahoma, and replaced them
with two punching bags, Bay-
lor and Oklahoma State, fans
around Lawrence have been
excitedly talking about a pos-
sible Big 12 shocker: The Jay-
hawks winning the north divi-
sion outright.
Blue Ribbon, which does
in-depth previews of all Divi-
sion 1-A programs for ESPNs
Insider, can see this happening.
Despite picking Kansas ffth in
the north, they see potential for
a magical season.
The Jayhawks have turned
things around under Manginos
leadership. After years at the
bottom of the Big 12, Mangi-
nos program has a chance to
win the Big 12 North title this
season, according to the pre-
view.
Mangino is not getting
caught up in the hype just yet.
You cant live off what you
did the year before. You can get
momentum from it. You can get
energy from it. But you have to
perform each and every year,
he said.
The rehearsal for this per-
formance is over, and the cur-
tains will be opening Saturday
at Memorial Stadium when the
Jayhawks take on Northwest-
ern State at 6 p.m.
With the bar offcially raised,
the stage has been set for a big
year.

dence in felding punts.
Evidently Mangino liked
enough of what he saw, be-
cause Murph will get a shot,
along with senior wide receiv-
er Jonathan Lamb and sopho-
more cornerback Aqib Talib,
to return punts this season on
special teams.
Neither Lamb nor Talib saw
time returning punts last sea-
son. The majority of that duty
fell to former Jayhawk Charles
Gordon, who left school a
year early to play in the NFL.
After his slight misstep,
Murph said he was eager to
get more experience returning
punts.
Its fun and its something I
have been wanting to do for a
while, Murph said. Im glad
they are giving me the oppor-
tunity to do that now.
Aside from new responsi-
bilities for Murph, Lamb and
Talib, Mangino will also put
freshman running back Jake
Sharp and sophomore wide
receiver Marcus Herford back
to return kickoffs. In addition
to his usual duties as the start-
ing running back, Jon Cornish
will also see time on the punt
and kickoff coverage teams, as
well as limited time returning
kicks. Mangino said it would
be diffcult to keep Cornish off
the unit because he was one of
the top special teams players
in the conference.
Special teams is one of few
areas on the Kansas football
team that wont see an infux
of youth. Mangino will return
veterans in both kicking po-
sitions: juniors punter Kyle
Tucker and junior place kicker
Scott Webb.
Webb already ranks as the
third-most-accurate kicker
in Kansas history, making
nearly 67 percent of his kicks
throughout his career. Last
season, Webb hit 14 of 19 feld
goal attempts, including all 11
attempts inside of 40 yards.
His longest kick of the season
went 48 yards against Iowa
State.
Last season, Tucker record-
ed the ninth-longest punt in
program history, with his 77-
yard boot at Texas Tech. He
averaged 42.9 yards per punt
and landed 19 inside the 20-
yard line. This summer he
was named on the Ray Guy
Award watch list. The award
is given to the nations top
punter.
Football Notes:
Depth chart released:
Mangino announced his depth
chart early Wednesday eve-
ning. Among the most com-
petitive positions settled were
wide receiver, linebacker and
secondary. The starting wide
receivers are seniors Dominic
Roux and Murph, and sopho-
more Dexton Fields.
Mangino has the frst-string
secondary listed as junior
Blake Bueltel, senior Jerome
Kemp, sophomore Sadiq Mu-
hammed and Talib. However,
Talib is reportedly suspended
for at least the frst game and
Mangino has declined to dis-
cuss Kemps status, but has
said he looks great.
Replacing Talib would be
sophomore Raymond Brown.
Adam Barmann will be the
backup quarterback heading
into the season. Barmann, the
opening day starter last sea-
son, has practiced throughout
training camp with the sec-
ond-team offense.
Adam Barmanns had his
best camp and best two-a-
days since hes been here,
Mangino said.
The complete depth chart is
available at Kansan.com.

Dawson said senior nose
tackle Chris Hudler has be-
come the new leader on de-
fense. At linebacker, Dawson
and senior Fletcher Session
return to the starting lineup

joined by junior Brock Strat-
ton.
Texas Techs secondary
isnt well-known, but it is ex-
perienced. The players pro-
jected to start in the second-
ary appeared in a combined
38 games last season.
Just as Leach has found an
answer for most defenses his
offense has faced, he has one
for those who say his offense
is all fnesse, no contact.
You want to see physical?
Go line up on somebody and
throw it 60 times a game, see

said. Ask our offensive line
if thats physical when those

AssOCiATED PREss
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Fans who
ridicule the NFLs final exhibition
game as nothing more than a mean-
ingless tuneup to the regular season
have never walked in Jeris McIntyres
shoes.
For people like him and Jamal
Jones, what happens during Thursday
nights New Orleans-Kansas City
game could determine nothing less
than their future in football.
Like just about every other team
in the NFL, the Saints (1-2) and
Chiefs (1-2) will have their top play-
ers on the field for only a few min-
utes in the fourth and final exhib-
tion game of 2006. Be late finding
your seat and you might miss Pro
Bowler Larry Johnson and reign-
ing Heisman Trophy winner Reggie
Bush.
These games are almost always
devoted to reserves and rookies,
young guys fighting for jobs and
veterans struggling to milk one more
year out of their playing career.
Since the Chiefs drafted him in
the sixth round in 2004, McIntyre
has struggled to stay on the roster.
But Jones wasnt even drafted and
the Saints are his third team in three
years. He was thinking about giving
up his NFL dreams and enrolling in
graduate school when New Orleans
invited him to training camp.
Thursday night could be the end
for him. But make a few nifty plays,
and it could also be the beginning.
I feel good right now. Preseason
isnt over though, so I want to have
a good showing on Thursday, Jones
said. Ive still got some work to do
to make it to the final cuts.
Knowing that each team will
probably keep five maybe six
wide receivers, its hard not to do
the math. Thats what players call
it when they sit around and make
constant calculations as to where
they stand.
You always want to do it, said
McIntyre. You do it before the sea-
son, through the preseason, when
youre sitting at home. People call
you and ask, `Hey, whats it looking
like? So youre always going to do
the math.
But when youre here and on
the field, he added, you cant think
about the math or youre not going
to do your job.
Pressure on coaches to make the
right choice is also intense.
Theres going to be tough deci-
sions I think at receiver, said
Saints coach Sean Payton. Theres
going to be tough decisions in the
secondary.
As the cutdown to the 53-man
roster looms, backup quarterback
is another hotly contested area for
both teams.
Veteran Damon Huard is prob-
ably safe as Kansas Citys No. 2
behind Trent Green. But former
CFL star Casey Printers and rookie
Brodie Croyle are fighting to see
who becomes the Chiefs quarter-
back of the future.
Todd Bouman and Jamie Martin
have been in a spirited struggle in
the Saints camp.
Unlike starter Drew Brees, who
was acquired from San Diego in the
offseason, both have thrown touch-
down passes in the preseason.
There are some guys that have
done some good things in this camp
and well have a chance to see them
maybe more than just in the first
quarter, Payton said.

AssOCiATED PREss
SAITAMA, Japan Once they
realized they couldnt shoot, the
Americans knew they had to make
sure Dirk Nowitzki couldnt, either.
Carmelo Anthony scored 10 of
his 19 points in the third quarter,
when the United States finally took
control with its pressure defense,
and the Americans went on to defeat
Germany 85-65 Wednesday night in
the quarterfinals of the FIBA world
basketball championships.
The U.S. overcame its worst
offensive performance of the tour-
nament with one of its best defen-
sive performanes,
limiting Germany
to 26 points in the
second half and
forcing Nowitzki
to miss nine of his
12 shots.
Dirk is unstop-
pable, so we tried
to send in as many
defenders as possi-
ble, LeBron James
said. Youve just
got to contain a
guy like that and hope he misses
some shots. He only had 12 attempts
so we know we did a good job.
James added 13 points for the
U.S., which broke away from a one-
point halftime lead by using a flur-
ry of steals and blocks to outscore
Germany 16-2 over a nearly 6-min-
ute span in the third period.
The Americans (7-0) remained
one of the four unbeaten teams and
advanced to face European cham-
pion Greece (7-0) Friday night in
the semifinals. Greece beat France
73-56 earlier Wednesday.
But this was unlike the other
American victories in Japan.
Instead of looking like the team
that came in averaging 109.3 points,
the Americans looked like the ones
that have come up short in recent
years because of a lack of perimeter
shooting. They shot 37.6 percent
(32-of-85) and were 10-of-40 from
3-point range.
But they kept it from being costly
by pressuring Germanys guards and
preventing them from getting the
ball to Nowitzki, who finished with
15 points and five turnovers.
It wasnt a great shooting night
tonight, but I thought it was OK,
American guard Joe Johnson said.
We started making shots late, but
I thought our defense was great.
We made it tough on Dirk and his
teammates and thats what its about.
Weve got to play great defense to
win a championship.
The offense needs to get bet-
ter against Greece and then either
Spain or Argentina whose play-
ers watched the game from behind
the basket.
Im happy with the way we exe-
cuted in the halfcourt against the
zone, but wasnt pleased with the
way we finished, U.S. coach Mike
Krzyzewski said. Well shoot better
on Friday and hopefully on Sunday,
if we get the looks we had today.
Ademola Okulaja added 15 points
for Germany, the bronze medalist in
the 2002 world championships. The
Germans (5-2)
will face France
in a classification-
round game on
Thursday night
and can still fin-
ish fifth.
Leading 40-
39 at the break,
the U.S. came out
with a new line-
up Anthony,
James, Johnson,
Kirk Hinrich and
Dwight Howard and forced three
turnovers in the first 1:01 of the
third quarter.
The Germans were still within
a point before Anthony followed a
3-pointer with a steal a dunk. Elton
Brands follow shot made it 51-43
with 6:41 remaining in the period.
Okulaja made a jumper, but
Anthony drilled another 3, then
Dwyane Wade made a free throw,
Johnson had a basket and Chris
Bosh converted a three-point play
on an alley-oop that extended the
Americans lead to 60-45 with 1:53
left in the quarter.
In the beginning of the sec-
ond half, they turned up the heat
defensively and they caused us to
be a little more hectic, Germanys
Johannes Herber said. We turned
the ball over a couple of times and
they get easy (baskets) and they hit
two or three 3s. And all of a sudden
its 10 points and its hard to get back
in the game against them.
The U.S. had five blocked shots
and seven steals in the quarter, tak-
ing a 67-52 lead on Chris Pauls
jumper as the buzzer sounded.
Sitting back in a zone that fea-
tured Nowitzki, fellow 7-footer
Patrick Femerling and 6-8 Okulaja
along the back line, Germany forced
the United States to shoot from the
outside. And unlike Sundays rout
of Australia, when the Americans
were 14-of-27 from 3-point range,
they were woeful behind the arc
Wednesday.
The Americans were 5-of-20 in
the first half, including one miss
when Wade appeared to try to bank
one in and it missed the rim entirely
and that was while he could still
see straight.
Wade went to the bench a few
minutes later after taking a shot near
the eye from Pascal Roller while
going for a loose ball. He sat the
remainder of the half and returned 4
1/2 minutes into the third quarter.
But Germany could never take
much of a lead because of foul trou-
ble. Both Nowitzki and Okulaja were
on the bench in the final minute
with three apiece, and the U.S. took
a 40-39 lead when Anthony made a
3-pointer with 47 seconds to go.
USA beats Germany at world championships

Germanys Dirk Nowitzki (14), of the NBAs Dallas Mavericks, looks to pass the ball as USAs Lebron James (6), of the NBAs Cleveland Cavaliers, guards during the quarterfnals of the World Basketball Champi-
onships in Saitama, Japan. USA defeated Germany 85-65.
Exhibition game to decide future status of some Chiefs players
NFl
We started making shots
late, but I thought our defense
was great. We made it tough
on Dirk and his teammates and
thats what its about. Weve got
to play great defense to win a
championship.

Youll feel better.

Theres a lot of confusion going
around. Dont let it bother you. Every-

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your team looks to you for advice, and

Although youre confdent, and with

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 7
Get serious about planning your trip.
Check your lists and your suitcase

one.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is a 7
Your friends are very encouraging,
but dont let them talk you into doing
something you cant aford. Stick with
cheap fun for a while.

Today is a 7
Dont let yourself be distracted. You
have an advantage over the others.
You can see what needs to be done,
and you can do it. Dont wait to be
told.
