well-sculpted
gallery emphasizes sculpture
BY BRANDY ENTSMINGER
[email protected]
A new gallery opening in the Crossroads
District of Kansas City, Mo., will give stu-
dents the opportunity to show their work
and experience what goes on behind-the-
scenes at an art business.
Kristi Arnold, lecturer in art and the
gallerys coordinator, said five graduate
students worked on the Red Door Gallery
to learn the administrative side of the busi-
ness through writing artist statements and
choosing and installing pieces.
Matthew Weaver, St. George, Utah, grad-
uate student, worked on the gallery and
said the project gave students an opportu-
nity to develop skills needed for the future.
Its kind of learning how to manage an
art gallery and really learning how to bal-
ance making your own
art as well as managing
the business side, Weaver
said.
Students in the depart-
ment of art were invited to
submit work for the show.
After receiving more than
80 entries, the graduate students narrowed
the number down to 40 pieces.
The pieces represent a wide variety of
forms and materials. Weaver said he con-
sidered all of them to be sculptures, but
that some had two-dimensional elements
as well.
One of the artists created body parts with
expandable foam casts made from dolls.
Weaver said the pieces were constructed
out of latex, resin and rubber.
Another piece was created using a large
tree stump and included a wax cast of the
artists head.
Inspiration comes from a lot of differ-
ent places for these peo-
ple, Weaver said.
Weaver said both
graduate and undergrad-
uate students involved in
the Ministry of Sculpture,
a student group dedi-
cated to attracting more
attention to sculpture,
began work on the gallery this summer.
Preparations included painting and order-
ing lighting.
John Hachmeister, associate professor of
art, said the idea for the gallery originated
with Dawn Marie Guernsey, professor and
chairwoman of the department of art.
He said Guernsey wanted to establish
higher visibility for the department outside
of Lawrence.
Hachmeister said the Crossroads
District was created by a group of art-
ists who moved into the area. Soon after
it began, non-artists moved in and prices
began to rise.
When the artists and art organizations
could no longer afford property taxes, the
Planned Industrial Expansion Authority
froze property taxes for all businesses that
were at least 51 percent art-related.
Hachmeister said the department of art
was able to negotiate for the use of one
building in the district free of charge. The
department has access to two other build-
ings through the Arts Incubator of Kansas
City.
Hachmeister served on the board of the
Arts Incubator for seven years and said it
was an organization that provided artists
with small business education.
The Red Door Gallery will be nonprofit
and usually open only by appointment.
Appointments can be scheduled by con-
tacting Arnold at kristi.l.arnold@gmail.
com.
The gallery is located at 17th and Walnut
Streets in Kansas City, Mo., and will be
open to the public from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
tonight.

Students recently received
an e-mail from the Office of
University Governance informing
them of some slight changes made
to the University Senate Code.
One of the changes dealt with
the scholarly misconduct policy,
not to be confused with the aca-
demic misconduct policy, which
primarily affects students.
Mary Berry, professor of social
welfare and president of University
Senate, said the policy changes
would not affect the classroom
setting, but rather would be tar-
geted toward faculty members or
staff members employed by the
University who broke the ethical
rules of conduct.
There are all kinds of rules
you must follow as a researcher,
Berry said. We also need policies
in place and a way to enforce the
rules that result in consequences.
Rules are not just for students.
Berry said the policy had to
be updated because the National
Institute of Health, or the NIH,
which funds some research at the
University, requested the policy
changes. If an employee, such as
a faculty member, graduate stu-
dent working for the University
or graduate teaching assistant had
an allegation filed against them
for scholarly misconduct, the NIH
must be made aware.
Although it is very rare for fac-
ulty members to abuse the policy,
Berry said that the policy was
changed because the NIH tight-
ened the rules.
Nancy Kinnersley, professor of
electrical engineering and com-
puter science and Faculty Senate
president, said the policy was
mainly changed to comply with
the federal governments policy.
William Sharp, director of
research integrity in the Research
and Graduate Studies office, was
very involved in developing the
policy.
Sharp said the scholarly mis-
conduct policy would also apply
to faculty members and gradu-
ate students publishing research of
their own.
According to the policy, schol-
arly misconduct includes fabrica-
tion, falsification or plagiarism.
It is a difficult line to walk.
A line we must handle fairly and
thoroughly, Sharp said about the
policy.
Walking that line is Sharps job,
and he said he had dealt with
scholarly misconduct in the past.
Its not something thats com-
monly broadcast, Sharp said. Its
handled very confidentially.
When handling a scholarly mis-
conduct case, Sharp said every-
thing stays within the University
and is not handled outside, for
example in the court system.
Berry said that the main con-
cern she had with the policy was
making sure that all the parties
involved would have time for due
process and to be fair and con-
sider everything in a thoughtful
manner.
Its such a serious mark on a
persons record. I really want to
watch it and see how it plays out,
Berry said.

Faulty parachute results
in injury for BASE jumper
OSLO, Norway A Nor-
wegian BASE jumper said he
learned a hard lesson about
tempting fate after surviving a
spine-chilling crash from a mile-
high mountain.
Video captured by a camera
attached to Hans Langes spe-
cially designed jump suit showed
him struggling to straighten out
his parachute before slamming
into a rock wall and crashing into
a tree top. He survived with a
broken leg.
I was too nonchalant and
there is no room for mistakes in
this sport, Lange, 44, told The As-
sociated Press on Thursday.
The accident happened Aug.
23, as the experienced BASE
jumper leapt of the 1,600-me-
ter- (5,250-foot-) high Bjoer-
ketind peak.
Lange said he was fying
down the mountainside at nearly
180 kph (110 mph) when he real-
ized he was too close to the wall.
He deployed his chute and
tried to steer away from the
wall, but it was too late. The
video showed Lange crying out
in pain as he bumped into the
rock repeatedly while trying to
untangle the cords.
The fall came to an abrupt
end when he slammed into a
tree about 100 meters (330 feet)
above the planned landing site.
After overcoming the initial
shock, Lange turned to the cam-
era and said: What a bummer ...
Oh well, Im alive.
He was rescued by a helicop-
ter 45 minutes later.
Lange told AP by telephone
he was lucky to be alive but
wasnt about to give up the thrill
of BASE jumping.
When I have recovered I will
jump again, he said. It all comes
down to better planning. Its a
fantastic feeling to fy along a
mountainside.
Dating may get harder
for one states ofcials
FREDERICK, Md. Maryland
state elected ofcials who have
sexual relationships with em-
ployees under their supervision
would be violating state ethics
law, if a county commissioner
gets his way.
The ethics law would not
apply, however, if the ofcial and
the worker were married to each
other.
Frederick County Commis-
sioner John Thompson says
the proposal is a response to a
specifc situation, but he wont
name the people involved out of
consideration for innocent third
parties.
Thompson wants the issue in-
cluded in the countys list of state
legislative priorities. But several
local lawmakers say they would
oppose Thompsons proposal.
County delegation chairman
Rick Weldon says the county
and the state face many more
important issues.
Police wont have to work
hard to solve this crime
IOWA CITY, Iowa Police
didnt have much trouble fnding
a man accused of using a stolen
credit card he signed his own
name on one of the receipts.
The 21-year-old Iowa City man
is accused of using the credit
card to buy a latte at a cofee
house and to buy cigarettes at
a tobacco store. When he used
the allegedly stolen credit card
to buy the smokes, he signed the
receipt with his own signature.
Police said he also tried to use
the credit card to buy $154.21
worth of merchandise at another
downtown store, but it came up
as stolen. Then he presented his
own identifcation.
When ofcers fnally caught
up with him at a deli, he alleg-
edly admitted to using the card
but denied taking it. The man
told police he found the credit
cards in his living room after a
party.
He has been charged with
four counts of unauthorized use
of a credit card, an aggravated
misdemeanor.
Shooting victim loses
leg, but gets it back
ALLIANCE, Neb. After being

get his prosthetic leg back from
prosecutors.
The Box Butte County At-
torneys ofce gave Val McCabes
leg back Wednesday after a
judge ordered it returned.
McCabes prosthetic left leg
had been held since Fridays
shooting because prosecutors
wanted to run tests on it and a
bullet lodged inside.
The 58-year-old McCabe,
who lost his leg below the knee
in a railroad accident roughly
30 years ago, fled his lawsuit
Tuesday.
McCabe lawyer argued it
wasnt practical for him to re-
place the specially built, $28,000
prosthesis.
Police removed the bullet
from the leg before returning
it. No arrests had been made by
Wednesday.

Students at the University may
want to consider taking another
test this semester after the release
of a recent study.
A report by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
found the number of new HIV
infections occurring in the U.S.
each year was underestimated.
The report cited about 56,300
new cases of HIV in 2006, the
most recent data available. The
number itself was nearly 40 per-
cent higher than what had previ-
ously been reported by the CDC.
Officials from the CDC said the
new number was a result of better
statistical methods and did not
represent an increase in the actual
number of new infections.
The number of new cases
each year goes relatively unno-
ticed among young adults, who
are among those most affected by
the disease.
Ken Sarber, health educator for
Student Health Services, said the
disease didnt rank high on the list
of students concerns.
They seem to think that its a
disease of the past, Sarber said.
Theyre not worried about it.
Stacey Burton, education and
outreach coordinator for the
Douglas County AIDS Project, or
DCAP, said the stigma associated
with HIV/AIDS is just one reason
why people dont get tested.
Its looked at as an unclean,
unsanitary disease, Burton said.
People think you have to partici-
pate in something dirty to get it.
But its not just in Africa. Its not
the poor orphans. Its the people
you sit next to in church or in
class.
Watkins Memorial Health
Center deals with STI testing.
Patricia Denning, physician and
chief of staff at Watkins, said the
center administered 618 HIV tests
in 2007, which accounted for 2.5
percent of all lab tests given.
Denning said the center did
everything it could to make stu-
dents feel comfortable.
She said students could request
the sex of their doctor for appoint-
ments discussing personal issues
to make them more comfortable.
Students can call a specific num-
ber to make appointments for
confidential testing. Denning said
people usually didnt get tested
because they were afraid of getting
a positive test result.
Its hard to say over the phone,
I think I have an STI, Denning
said. But for people to have an
infection and not address it
potentially passing it to another
person I think thats a very seri-
ous problem.
Watkins charges a fee testing.
The fee comes at a discounted
price because student fees includ-
ed in tuition support the center.
Denning said it was generally
among the lowest testing prices
found in the area.
The Douglas County Aids
Project also offers HIV testing.
DCAP administers the tests for
free during regular clinic hours
with scheduled appointments, but
students would have to travel off
campus to be tested.
Burton said treatment for peo-
ple living with the disease was
around $25,000 a year.
Denning said that one way to
combat the spread of the disease
was through increased aware-
ness. She said that Student Health
Services did well providing infor-
mation to students, but that there
was always room for improve-
ment.

Student Senate elections for
freshmen senators are under way at
the University once again.
This year, 25 freshmen candi-
dates are crossing their fingers in
hopes of being elected to Student
Senate. Campaigning began last
Monday for the five open freshmen
seats.
Mason Heilman, Lawrence junior
and Student Executive Committee
chairman, said the freshmen elec-
tions provided an early opportunity
to get involved in the student gov-
ernment.
He said even if students didnt
stay involved with Student Senate,
the elections informed them about
Senate.
They take that knowledge and
experience to other activities they
are involved in, Heilman said.
Heilman said freshmen who did
not win one of the senator spots had
the opportunity to run for one of
five associate senator spots on the
five standing committees. He said
the number of candidates running
in this years freshmen election was
average.
Heilman said campaigning was
off to a slow start because freshmen
were hesitant to chalk because of
the rain. He said he expected to see
more chalking and fliers up early
next week.
Each election has five really
ambitious people who are out there
the first couple of days, Heilman
said. Other ones see what theyre
doing and start emulating that.
Heilman said campaigning was
not regulated for freshman elec-
tions because they were smaller and
more focused on networking with
other freshmen.
Justin Hitt, Shawnee freshman
and Senate candidate, said he was
running because he liked the idea
of playing a role in campus deci-
sion making. Hitt said he thought
Student Senate was a powerful
organization on campus.
I want to go into politics at some
point, and I figured this would be a
good place to start, he said.
Charlie Flanders, Shawnee fresh-
man and Senate candidate, said he
wanted to get involved, meet people
and understand how student gov-
ernment worked.
Ian McGonigle, Wichita fresh-
man and Senate candidate, said he
wanted to make a difference in
students lives.
I saw my friends in leadership
in high school, and I thought that
was something I wanted to get
involved in when I came to college,
McGonigle said.
Freshman elections will be Sept.
9 and 10. Freshmen can vote online
at www.studentsenate.ku.edu.
Winners will be announced at 6
p.m. Sept. 10 in the Big 12 room in
the Kansas Union.

British comic to make
American debut on MTV
LOS ANGELES America,
meet Russell Brand.
In his native England, hes a
comedy giant instantly iden-
tifable by his Einstein-like tousle
of black hair and formftting,
chest-baring, glam-rock clothes
a TV host and standup comic
with his own radio show and
weekly column in The Guardian.
In the U.S., hes that British guy
who was in the movie Forget-
ting Sarah Marshall.
But that all could change
Sunday, when Brand hosts the
MTV Video Music Awards the
TV institution that lured millions
of viewers with Britney Spears
fumbled comeback last year and
her fabled kiss with Madonna
before that. Brand said he has no
intentions to hijack the awards
for his own promotional pur-
poses, but he knows the show
will serve as his introduction to a
broad American audience.
Its amazing, because
obviously Im not known in
this country, so its a really
unusual situation to be in, said
the 33-year-old, noting that past
hosts have been really, really
famous.
I think Id be insane if I wasnt
anxious, although Ive clinically
been declared insane on several
occasions. Perhaps my slight
apprehension is a mark of my
return to sanity.
Brand might not be exag-
gerating about his diagnosis.
At home hes known for his
hedonistic tendencies and
drug-addled past, and he sought
treatment for drug addiction
and sex addiction. He detailed
his storied history in My Booky
Wook, a memoir that was a best-
seller in Britain and is due to be
published in the U.S. in February.
A movie version of his story
has already been greenlit, but
the flm has been put on hold
while Brand juggles other
projects.
Brands schedule is packed.
Hell appear with Adam Sandler
and Keri Russell in the Christmas
family flm Bedtime Stories. Hes
also co-writing and starring in
a flm Sandler will produce next
year, Brand said. Hes reprising
his Forgetting Sarah Marshall
role in Get Him to the Greek,
a flm based on his rock-star
character, Aldous Snow. Hes got
another book in the works, and
hes keeping up with his weekly
newspaper column, radio show
and standup gigs back home.

Michael Moore to release
new flm as a download
NEW YORK Inspired by Neil
Young and Radiohead, Michael
Moore will release his new flm
online and for free.
The flm, Slacker Uprising, fol-
lows Moores 62-city tour during
the 2004 election to rally young
voters. It will be available for
three weeks as a free download
to North American residents,
beginning Sept. 23. An ofcial
announcement of the flm is
planned for Friday.
Moore said he considered
releasing Slacker Uprising
theatrically as Michael Moores
big election year movie as he
did with 2004s Fahrenheit 9/11,
which was highly critical of Presi-
dent Bush.
Instead, Moore opted for a
symbol of gratitude to his fans
as he approached the 20th an-
niversary of his frst flm, 1989s
Roger & Me.
I thought itd be a nice way to
celebrate my 20th year of doing
this, Moore said.

Use point-spread system
for Kick the Kansan
In response to the Kick the
Kansan picks, this is a great idea
and very interactive.
However, there are some
inherent faws in the way it is
set up. The games picked are
mostly big name teams against
terrible teams. This takes almost
all the skill out of picking the
games. Even without the help
of any outside information,
when you see one team ranked
in the top 25 against a team
with no numbered prefx, you
have a good start to go with the
ranked team.
This is common sense. And
while not every one of these
ranked teams wins, it is very
close. Out of last weeks 10
games, only two were upsets.
Of those two, one was a game
with two top 25 ranked teams
playing against each other: No.
24 Alabama vs. No. 9 Clemson.
The other game was unranked
UCLA at home, beating No. 18
Tennessee.
If you are at all familiar
with sports, you know sports-
books make odds to make the
matchups even. One glance in
USA Today or at a Web site will
show you the point spreads and
moneylines on these games.
Of last weeks games, only
three were below a seven-point
spread. Although those games
have the potential to go either
way, the only upset outside of
those games was UCLA, a 7.5
point underdog, over Tennes-
see, a more than 3-to-1 favorite
to win. Even though seven
points may not seem like a lot,
when you have a team favored
more than three to one, it actu-
ally is a big spread.
I would like to propose using
a point-spread system to pick
the games. This essentially gives
each game a 50/50 chance
of being correct. Four of last
weeks games were double digit
favorites. This week there are
three, with one game at 9.5.
Instead of wasting half a
page with four sports editors
nearly identical picks only
four of the 40 game selections
were dissimilar in week 1 it
would be much more interest-
ing to see who is picked when
spreads come into play.
This will drastically lower
the total number of correct
choices, but at the same time,
its almost not fair picking seven
of 10 games when one team
is greater than a three to one
favorite. This would make this
section much more fun and
interesting for everyone.

Walking to class Thursday
morning, I was greeted by the
Graphic Photos Ahead signs near
Strong Hall. Those signs seemed
funny to me after I looked up
and saw the two-story-high pic-
tures of bloody fetuses. The pic-
tures were unavoidable. Even if
you crossed to the other side of
Jayhawk Boulevard, the graphics
were so large the scare tactics still
reached you.
No matter what side of the pro-
life vs. pro-choice argument you
are on, forcing these pictures upon
unsuspecting students is wrong
and unnecessary. A healthy dia-
logue is not possible when these
grotesque graphics are shoved
down our throats. A volunteer with
Justice For All, the Wichita-based
group displaying the images, gave
me a pamphlet with a complete
representation of its display, and it
is hard for me to even read the text
because of the pictures.
Having these messages in front
of Strong make it look like the
University endorses this message.
We were met with a bit of oppo-
sition, and we had to fight tooth
and nail to get this here, said Mary
Millard, president of KU Students
for Life, a nondenominational pro-
life student organization.
Another volunteer, graduate
David Lee, said the group couldnt
have a table on Wescoe because
other student groups already had
them reserved.
Some students who saw the dis-
play yesterday fought back by cre-
ating their own displays. Samantha
Snyder, a senior in English and his-
tory, was working at a small table
set up next to the giant displays.
She works for the Commission on
the Status of Women.
The stance from the
Commission on Status of Women
is that abortion is a womans health
issue and that making them illegal
forces them into dangerous situ-
ations when trying to obtain one.
It is up to the woman to decide
the fate of their families and their
future. This ridiculous circus dis-
play is obscene. It sends the wrong
message about KU. We hope KU
students are smarter than this.
The arguments on Justice For
Alls displays are offensive. The
group compares the legality of
abortion and slavery in a simple,
superficial sentence: Slavery was
once a legal choice. Equating the
two is revolting. The group also
compares its quest to Susan B.
Anthonys quest for the right to
vote.
One of the reasons KU Students
for Life thought it needed this
group on campus is because facts
about abortion are not talked about
in academia, according to a posted
letter. Isnt part of being an adult
and going to college having the
right to choose what you learn
about? Students have the right to
choose their own majors and their
own classes. Is Students for Life
arguing that there should be an
Abortion Is Murder 101 class?
These violent images contradict
their message of peace and life.
These displays do not portray the
pro-life message in a positive way.
This group has a right to free
speech, but it shouldnt be manipu-
lating this right. The psychological
and emotional damage to a woman
walking by these signs who has had
an abortion could be enormous.
Whether you are pro-choice, pro-
life or pro-shut the hell up about it,
using graphic images of this nature
is wrong.
Thornbrugh is a Lenexa ju-
nior in creative writing.
In the game of musical apart-
ments, most graduate students
werent even allowed to play last
spring at the Jayhawker Towers.
Thats because the Department
of Student Housing approved
substantially fewer housing
applications from new graduate
students to make room
for ongoing renovations
at the Towers that will
be completed around
Fall 2012.
Whereas graduate
students got the ax, the
number of housing contracts
given to new athletes and new
undergraduates remained simi-
lar to pre-renovation figures. The
disparity was by design.
You have to cut back some-
where and graduate students are
more prepared to adjust. Theyre
older and more mature, said
Diane Robertson, DSH director.
DSHs justification reveals
insufficient planning and con-
sideration. It fails to take into
account that many graduate stu-
dents in the Towers are interna-
tional students who dont have
cars and are new to the United
States. Nearly one in five gradu-
ate students who live on cam-
pus is an international student,
according to the Spring 2008
demographic report released by
the University.
It is important for the
University to provide these stu-
dents a communal environment
thats inexpensive and close to
campus.
Without the Towers, inter-
national graduate students have
been left with no viable on-cam-
pus living options.
Stouffer Place Apartments,
which are adjacent to the Towers,
are given primarily to students
with families. And although
graduate students are technically
allowed to live in the dorms, very
few do, and theres little wonder
why the freshman atmosphere
isnt compatible with the heavy
graduate workload.
Also, internation-
al students tend to
eat foods from their
native country, and
the dorms dont pro-
vide adequate cook-
ing facilities. On the
other hand, each apartment in
Jayhawker Towers includes a
kitchen.
DSH knows better than to
alienate international graduate
students. It shouldve put under-
graduates on the Jayhawker
Towers chopping block instead.
Undergraduates have a multi-
tude of living options that inter-
national graduate students dont.
Undergrads can live on Daisy
Hill, in a greek house or off-cam-
pus because many undergradu-
ates own cars. There also arent
as many international under-
grads these students make
up only 4 percent of the under-
graduate population.
The only other option was to
exile the athletes, but this didnt
make sense when they practice
across the street.
Reserving space in the
Jayhawker Towers for interna-
tional graduate students during
the remaining renovation years
and beyond is of utmost impor-
tance if the University wishes to
continue attracting this vital sec-
tor of the student population.

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL
Kathleen Sebelius should start
looking for a new job because she
wont have one in politics after her
run as Kansas governor is over if
state Republicans have their way.
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.)
told Kansas delegates to the
Republican National Convention
on Thursday morning if Sebelius
ran for the seat he holds in the U.S.
Senate, she would probably lose.
Brownback will finish his sec-
ond and final term in the Senate
in 2010. Sebelius will finish her
last term as governor at the same
time.
Last week Sebelius said she
was not considering running for
Brownbacks seat at this time. But
the Democratic governor will have
few other options if Democratic
nominee Barack Obama loses the
presidential election or she is not
selected to serve on his cabinet if
he wins.
Brownback said Kansans were
willing to vote for liberals at the
state level if their ideas reflect what
is best for the community, but they
want conservative principles shap-
ing national legislation.
Kathleen Sebelius doesnt
stand for those philosophies,
Brownback said. And I think that
you will have people lining up for
that seat that can win it.
Brownback was not as critical
of Obama, though, saying even he
liked him when he watched him
give speeches.
I think what Obama has
tapped into is what Reagan did so
well, and that is
just the optimism
and hope of the
American public,
he said.
He said he
agreed with
Obamas ide-
als but disagreed
with his policy proposals. He said
the Republican Party would lose
the presidential race if it did not
appear as optimistic about the
future as Obama.
Weve got to maintain that
hopeful optimism because I firmly
believe that the party and the can-
didates that offer the most hope
and optimism are the ones that
win, he said, because thats the
way we are as American people.
Brownback said that he had not
always agreed with Republican
presidential nominee John
McCain and that he was against
the McCain-Feingold Act in 2002,
but he supported McCains bid for
the presidency.
The McCain-Feingold Act, also
known as the Bipartisan Campaign
Reform Act, prohibited national
parties from raising or spend-
ing money beyond federal lim-
its. Brownback
was against the
bill because he
said it infringed
on the First
Amendment.
T o n i g h t
Brownback will
speak during
the primetime television cover-
age of the Republican National
Convention. This may be the last
time Brownback will have the
opportunity to address the nation,
as it is the last Republican presi-
dential nominating convention
that will take place before he leaves
office.
Brownback said he loved being
a senator and wished he had set his
term limit at three terms instead of
two, but he would still honor the
term limit pledge he made when
he took office.
He also said he looked forward
to having more time to spend with
his children.
The ideas of staying home and
doing these things is quite excit-
ing, he said.

For the first time, recent graduates and
current students of the University of Kansas
Theatre and Film Department will present
their work at the departments annual film
rally on Sept. 6.
We are going to kick it up a notch by
having alumni come back, as a way to inspire
current students, said Tamara Falicov, pro-
fessor of film study.
One alumnus who will be speaking
is Patrick Rea. He and Ryan Jones, 2003
graduates and co-founders of SenoReality
Productions in Lawrence, will show their
short film, Womens Intuition, winner of a
regional Emmy this past July.
Rea wants his presentation to show stu-
dents what life is like after graduation. Rea
has been working on projects since he gradu-
ated. He estimated that he did five or six
projects a year.
I can actually pay my bills, which is
amazing, Rea said. You can make movies
anywhere now.
Sandra Ristovska, Macedonia senior, will
show a five-minute trailer for her docu-
mentary, Kaleidoscope. Ristovska directed
the international production with a German
cinematographer and a Polish sound and
set man. She said the film was shown at
three international film festivals over the
summer: the Skopje Summer Festival, the
International Conference of Macedonian
Language, Literature and Culture Science in
Ohrid, and the University of Applied Art and
Science in Dortmund, Germany.
Ristovaska began her education at the
London Film Academy, but transferred to the
University three years ago.
To be a good film maker, you have to
have a broad knowledge, Ristovaska said.
Being at KU allows me to take classes in
different areas.
Jeremy Osbern of Through a Glass
Productions, will also speak at the rally.
Admission is free. The event will take place
at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 6 at the Herk Harvey Sound
Stage at Oldfather Studios, 1621 W. Ninth St.

Fields injured, out saturday
Young
receiver
has star
potential
Sitting in Mrkonic Auditorium
wearing a black T-shirt, pants and a
red backpack, Daymond Patterson, the
5-foot-9, 175-pound freshman wide
receiver/punt returner, looks a little out
of place. At the moment, he looks like a
lost child. Its hard to believe Patterson
electrified Kansas special teams dur-
ing last weeks victory against Florida
International, turning in four punt
returns for 135 yards, highlighted by a
75-yard touchdown.
I just followed my blockers, and
they took me to the endzone, he tells
a few reporters who ask him about his
touchdown return.
To put into per-
spective how out
of place Patterson
looks, 6-foot-3,
200-pound sopho-
more wide receiver
Dezmon Briscoe
is also in the room
surrounded by the
media. Briscoe, still
tying his tie, looks as if he is headed
to Massachusetts Street for a post-game
dinner at Tellers. With his size theres no
mistaking him as a Division I football
player.
Meanwhile, junior quarterback Todd
Reesing, also encircled by the media,
is sitting across the room and telling
a couple of reporters that Patterson,
though talented,
looks as if he should
be playing pee-
wee football. Like
Reesing should talk.
Donning a swanky
suit, Reesing, at
5-foot-10 and 200
pounds, looks as if
he could be on stage
with the Jonas Brothers.
On first look, its hard to tell Patterson
was a first-team All-Texas selection at
wide receiver. Matter of fact, its hard
to imagine Mangino was able to get a
first-team All-Texas receiver to com-
mit to Kansas. After all, in a state where
football is religion, surely a giant such as
Texas, Texas A&M or Texas Tech would
have snapped him right up, right?
But for what the football giants of
Texas missed out on, coach Mark
Mangino certainly knew what Patterson
would bring to Kansas.
Hes a very, very mature guy,
Mangino told reporters after the game.
As soon as he walked here in the com-
plex at two-a-days, he gave you that
impression that he can make that tran-
sition from high school to Division I
without too many bumps in the road.
Weve heard the story before. An
undersized all-star from Texas is over-
looked and comes to Kansas. In 2006,
Mangino removed the redshirt from
a freshman quarterback who led the
Jayhawks to a comeback victory against
Colorado. That quarterbacks name is
Todd Reesing. Reesing, an Austin native
who was the 2005 4A Player of the Year
in Texas, slipped out of Longhorns
coach Mack Browns backyard.
In 2007, an underrated Reesing put
up better numbers than legendary little-
man Doug Flutie had as a quarterback
in his Heisman Trophy season.
With one game and one touchdown
under his belt, Patterson has already
been an improvement in Kansas punt-
return game. Anthony Webb, last years
starting punt returner, had just 16 yards
in 19 returns.
As the smallest player on the roster,
Patterson could very well be the next
little guy from Texas to become a big-
time player at Kansas.

One of the biggest keys to the Jayhawks
magical 12-1 season a year ago is already
causing problems in 2008 the injury
bug.
During the Jayhawks run to the Orange
Bowl Championship, only Kendrick
Harper and Anthony Collins missed time
because of injuries.
Senior wide receiver Dexton Fields, who
led the team in receiving last year, will miss
Saturdays game against Louisiana Tech
with an injured foot. Coach Mark Mangino
said after practice on Wednesday that he
hoped Fields could return in time for next
Fridays game at South Florida.
Thats what were hoping, Mangino
said. I can tell you that theres no fracture,
but he is in no way ready to play Saturday,
for sure.
Fields was injured late in the first quar-
ter of Saturdays 40-10 victory against FIU
when he leaped up to catch a pass over the
middle of the field and landed awkwardly
on his foot. In his place will be freshman
Daymond Patterson, who had three catches
for 22 yards on offense but provided most
of his contributions at punt returner.
Patterson had four returns for 135 yards,
including a 75-yard touchdown return
down the right sideline.
Despite Manginos high praise of
Patterson and some of the other young-
er receivers, Mangino would rather have
Fields in the lineup come kickoff.
In college football every game is for
keeps, Mangino said. You dont mind
resting them in spring ball or in a practice,
but you like to have your guys ready for
every single game. Theres only 12 of them.
You like to have everybody. The reality is,
in college football, it doesnt work that way
most of the time.
Redshirt freshman Jeremiah Hatch,
who missed Saturdays game against FIU,
has practiced all week and Mangino said he
will probably start against Louisiana Tech
on Saturday.
Hes practiced all week, and we feel good
about what we see, Mangino said. There
hasnt been a whole lot of after-effects from
practice. Probably after tomorrows prac-
tice if he looks good and hes pain-free,
well start him.
Two back set Jake Sharp and Jocques
Crawford, the Jayhawks two top running
backs, saw time on the field together at
the same time last Saturday. Offensive
Coordinator Ed Warinner and Mangino
indicated that they will continue to have
both of them appear on the field together
in certain situations.
Its just another look that you give peo-
ple, Mangino said. Its another thing that
they have to prepare for. Its a chance to get
two good athletes in the backfield on the
field at the same time. Both are ball carriers
but yet both can catch the football.
Crawford, a junior college transfer who
rushed for only 32 yards on Saturday after
tweaking his ankle late in the first quarter,
has been working on his blocking since he
arrived on campus.
Jocques is really starting to come
around as a blocker now that hes learned
our system and understands what were
trying to do, Mangino said. Hes a pret-
ty physical guy. He takes pride in being a
physical player. Its not like your starting
from scratch, hes got some physical ability.
He has a good, low center of gravity when
he blocks which is something thats hard to
teach. You either have it or you dont.
Mohawks The Jayhawks wide
receivers are sporting new hairdos these
days. Wide receiver Raymond Brown came
up with the idea for all of the receivers
to get mohawks before the season started
and with the exception of Kerry Meier, all
of the receivers agreed and went to have
mohawks cut into their hair.
I dont think well get Kerry Meier to
get a mohawk, Dezmon Briscoe said. He
likes his hair.

Ranked team prepares for tough weekend schedule
By ANDREW WIEBE
[email protected]
College soccer plays by its own rules.
Coach Mark Francis knows that first-
hand. A London-born transplant to soc-
cer in the United States, Francis has plenty
of experience with the way the rest of the
world schedules the beautiful game.
The NCAA, on the other hand, does
things its own way.
This weekend marks the first of eight
straight weekends in which No. 20 Kansas
will play two games in three days. The
Jayhawks start the weekend by taking
on UAB Friday afternoon at the Jayhawk
Soccer Complex then follow that by travel-
ing to Dallas to face SMU, Francis alma
mater, on Sunday.
Francis said the grueling prospect of
180 minutes of high-level soccer in such a
short time span is a phenomenon reserved
for college athletes.
Its not ideal, Francis said of the physi-
cal demands a clustered schedule poses for
his players. We are the only people in the
world who do that. Nobody else plays that
many games in three days.
That isnt even including the NCAAs
baffling game clock that counts down each
45 minute half rather than the running
clock the rest of the world employs. Still,
Francis and his players have no choice but
to prepare for the schedule they are given.
Sophomore defender Lauren Jackson
said first-year players tend to have trouble
adjusting to the scheduling and travel.
After a year on campus to build fitness
and acclimate to travel, Jackson said she
is accustomed to the physical exertion
required.
Everyone is tired, she said. The other
team is tired. They played on Friday too so
I feel like we are pretty evenly matched.
One advantage college squads have is
the number of substitutions and available
players coaches have at their disposal.
NCAA substitution rules allow any player
to reenter after being substituted each half,
and anyone listed on the game day roster is
eligible to enter.
Francis said he doesnt change tactics
on Fridays to accommodate for the sec-
ond games, but that the pace was usually
slower on Sundays with coaches keeping
more players behind the ball and utilizing
their benches more frequently.
HomeComing For FranCis
When Kansas plays SMU Sunday after-
noon, it will be the first time Coach Mark
Francis has coached at his alma mater.
The Jayhawks battled to a 1-1 tie with
the Mustangs last year in Lawrence, but
Francis said he hadnt returned to his for-
mer stomping grounds except to recruit
and watch a few mens games since he
graduated in 1987.

First game answers and raises questions
I entered Memorial Stadium
last Saturday night with a number
of questions swimming through
my head. I walked out of the stadi-
um with most of them answered.
Im not sure how much one
game can tell you about a
player or team, kicker or punt
return man, but a 47-yard field
goal and a 75-yard punt return say
something.
Some of the most intriguing
questions raised during the off-
season were answered by Kansas
against FIU. Success from 2007
earns you nothing in 2008.
Everything must be proven on the
field.
No one knows how the season
will shape up for the Jayhawks
right now, but Saturday did prove
a few things.
It appears the punt return posi-
tion is settled. Daymond Patterson
is all the player that head coach
Mark Mangino and his team-
mates have hoped he would be.
He is Kansas closest answer to
Missouris Jeremy Maclin.
The kicker position no lon-
ger looks like an issue. Even with
a missed extra point by Grady
Fowler there should be no cause
for alarm after watching Alonso
Rojas boot in a pair of field goals,
including an impressive 47-yard
blast.
Anyone who wondered how the
defense would handle the absence
of former defensive coordinator
Bill Young can put those wor-
ries to rest as well. Clint Bowen
moved up the ranks and effort-
lessly filled in Youngs shoes. The
defense looked every bit as tough
and disciplined as it did in 2007.
The only position where ques-
tions still exist is at the running
back spot. There are definitely
enough able bodies, even with the
departures of Donte Bean, Sean
Ransburg and Carmon Boyd-
Anderson in the weeks leading
up to the first kick-off, but consis-
tency was lacking on Kivisto Field
Saturday night.
Jocques Crawford showed a few
flashes of brilliance during the
game and if he hadnt tweaked
his leg he might have been able to
show more. Jake Sharp is still the
first person I would want on the
receiving end of a shovel pass, but
the game showed that he is still
best in a running back by commit-
tee situation. The underdog, so to
speak, is Angus Quigley.
Quigley looked impressive in
the 6:25 he was allotted during
the fourth quarter. He marched
the Hawks all the way down the
field, rushing six times and catch-
ing three passes for 71 all-purpose
yards. Quigley cant choose how
many minutes he gets or when he
gets them, but if he keeps produc-
ing like he did on Saturday, I think
you will see a lot more of Angus.
The only thing that looked
like a certain indicator of a great
season, other than Todd Reesing,
was the fan turnout. 52,112 peo-
ple came out in their crimson
and blue to break the KU foot-
ball attendance record. Although
the crowd started to look spotty
halfway through the third quarter,
the support was still strong. Last
year 46,815 people showed up for
Kansas debut against 2007 MAC
champion Central Michigan. That
number seemed large then but
things have changed quite a bit in
Lawrence over a years time.
It goes without saying that plen-
ty of new questions will arise for
Kansas as the season progresses,
but for now at least, the Jayhawk
faithful can be content with the
direction the 2008 season is head-
ing.

NCAA clears Marcus and
Markief Morris to play
Kansas coach Bill Self has
felded the same question
hundreds of times over the
past three months: When will
the NCAA clear the Morris
twins?
He wont have to anymore.
The NCAA Eligibility Center
ruled Marcus and Markief
Mor-
ris academi-
cally eligible
Thursday.
The Morris
twins will
start taking
classes
immedi-
ately and be
ready to practice next month.
Weve been waiting for this
day for a long time, and were
excited that
it is fnally
here, the
twins said in
a statement.
Were look-
ing forward
to getting to
class and to
begin play-
ing with our teammates.
The timing was a bit incon-
venient. If the NCAA would
have cleared the Morris twins
last week, they could have
traveled with the team to Ot-
tawa to play in three exhibi-
tion games.
Self said he was pleased
with his teams performance
after the trip but wished the
Morris twins could have come.
But Self isnt worried about
that now. Hes just happy
theyll be eligible to play in the
upcoming season.
While it may have taken a
bit longer than we had hoped,
Self said, the important thing
is that the process worked.
Self said he understood
why clearing the Morris twins
took longer than the Jayhawks
fve other newcomers. The
Morris twins went to multiple
high schools and attended a
prep-academy last year, which
meant more paperwork for
the NCAA to sift through. He
called their route to Kansas
non-traditional.
We certainly understand
the uniqueness of these
circumstances, Self said, so
we appreciate the NCAAs
cooperation in reviewing the
material involved in a timely
manner.
The Morris twins were
considered to be Selfs prized
recruits in the 2008 class.
Rivals.com ranked Marcus as
the No. 29 player in the nation
and Markief at No. 49.
The twins are expected to
play immediately and help
bolster the Jayhawks front line
with sophomore center Cole
Aldrich and freshman forward
Quintrell Thomas.

Cubs shoot for Series
despite slump, injuries
CHICAGO Ryan Dempster
stepped out in front of the teams
headquarters at the beginning
of spring training nearly seven
months ago and said he thought
the Chicago Cubs would win the
World Series.
Dempsters optimism remains
intact, despite a recent funk that
has seen the frst-place Cubs drop
fve straight games for the frst time
this season.
And not only are the Cubs
trying to weather the losing skid,
they learned Thursday that ace
Carlos Zambrano has rotator cuf
tendinitis, a condition that required
an injection of anti-infammatory
medication.
Zambrano, who will miss his
turn Sunday in Cincinnati, hopes to
begin throwing in St. Louis when
the Cubs go there next Wednesday.

GEHA MISSING FROM

Senior midfielder Missy
Geha didnt play against Auburn
last weekend, something that
has rarely happened since Geha
arrived on campus in 2005.
Through her first three sea-
sons, the St. Thomas Aquinas
product started 59 of 60 total
games, registering three goals
and two assists.
Francis said Geha had an
undisclosed medical condition
that would not allow her to play.
He said she wouldnt play until

Golf courses history more
than a little unlucky
ST. LOUIS When the fans
came out to watch Tiger Woods,
there was no tournament. Arnold
Palmer once played in a tourna-
ment, but fans couldnt get to the
golf course.
St. Louis added yet another
chapter to its dreary decade of
golf history when the frst round
of the BMW Championship
was washed out by storms that
dumped 3 inches of rain on Bel-
lerive Country Club.
We do know how to deal with
adversity, said Jerry Ritter, the
general chairman of the BMW
Championship and a Bellerive
member who has seen his share
of it.
Dozens of players were at
Bellerive getting ready for the
American Express Champion-
ship the morning of the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks. It was the frst
big event in St. Louis since the
1992 PGA Championship. Woods
was playing in St. Louis for the
frst time in his career, but he only
got in a practice round before the
event was canceled.
Three years later, the U.S. Se-
nior Open came to town, and rain
washed out the second round
Friday. At least they got in the
tournament, with Peter Jacobsen
going 36 holes on a creaky hip
Sunday to win.
Just as excitement was starting
to build this summer, Woods an-
nounced he was having season-
ending knee surgery.

The Jayhawk volleyball team
will play its toughest match of the
season so far Friday night against
the No. 13 Oregon Ducks at the
Jayhawk Invitational at least on
paper. But coach Ray Bechard has
only one team on his mind Utah
Valley, which the team plays today
at noon.
Utah Valley is the only thing
were concerned with right now,
Bechard said.
And with good reason. Even
though Utah Valley started the
year with two losses, the team
posted an impressive 21-10 sea-
son in 2007, winning the Division
I Independent Championship last
year. It will be a tough way to
open the season at home for the
Jayhawks, who also will play 2-1
Central Florida to wrap things up
Saturday afternoon.
For the Jayhawks, their main
concern is to avoid the mistakes
that plagued
them against
VCU in the sea-
son opener, and
retain what went
well against NC
State, their lone
victory this year.
We havent
had any issues with effort, the exe-
cution always isnt as good as wed
like it to be, Bechard said of the
past weeks practices. I really enjoy
coming to the gym with this group
everyday.
Bechard said if they could now
just match that level of effort with
the same level of execution, the
Jayhawks could accomplish some
great things this year, namely an
NCAA tournament birth. But as
with Bechard, the players focus is
the weekend at hand and finally
being able to enjoy home-court
advantage.
Very excited, senior Natalie
Uhart said. Being here in our gym
will make us a little more comfort-
able.
Uhart could notice the opening
loss to VCU had a lot to do with a
lot of young players having to step
into the college game for the first
time. While this has its benefits
in the long run, there will always
be some growing pains to start
out with.
We had a lot of young babies
on the court, lets just hope that is
out of our system now, Uhart said.
I want to see how the other girls
will respond to the higher level of
play.
To not only compete with that
higher level of opponent but to
win, Bechard had his team work on
what Bechard called volleyball IQ
plays, along with blocking, foot-
work and first-ball kill opportuni-
ties and other little things he hopes
the team has fine-tuned this week.
Although the inexperience was
one reason the Jayhawks stumbled
out of the gate against VCU, two
of those inexperienced freshmen,
Alyson Mayfield and Nicole Tate,
made huge strides, with Mayfield
leading the team in kills against
VCU and Tate starting at setter and
finishing with a total of 52 assists
that weekend. Tate understands
the value of what she learned that
opening weekend, and hopes to use
that to improve during the home
opener.
The first match I was a little
nervous about, Tate said. There
is always that pressure to perform
from coaches and teammates to get
better, but its good.
As with Uhart, Tate cant wait to
get onto her home court and play at
a high level.
I am really excited, its going to
be a fun, but tough weekend, Tate
said. First is Utah Valley, so hope-
fully we get on them.
With three quality opponents
on tap for the Jayhawks in just two
days, Bechard said there would be a
lot of very good volleyball played
this weekend.

In a first-week intramural flag
football match-up, Alpha Chi
Omega defeated Delta Gamma
21-0.
Alpha Chi Omega dominated
the game with a powerful running
attack, led by quarterback Jane
Barnard, Omaha junior. Barnard
scored two touchdowns on the
ground and threw for another.
We all just like to come out and
have a good time. But if we can win
thats even better, Barnard said.
Alpha Chi Omega scored first
before halftime thanks to a 30-yard
scramble by Barnard.
As the second half started, the
Delta Gamma defense focused
on not letting Barnard get away
from them. The defense recorded
four sacks in the half, with Ashley
Frankian, Overland Park freshman,
leading the charge with two. But
somehow Barnard still managed to
make her way into the end zone
mid-way into the second half.
Then, with about two minutes
remaining, Alpha Chi Omega
tacked on one more score when
Barnard connected with Alicia
Ring, Marysville freshman, for the
games only passing touchdown.
Having missed their two attempts
at the two-point conversion, Alpha
Chi Omega opted to go for the
three-point conversion and got it,
making the score 21-0.
The difference in this game
might have been experience. Delta
Gamma played mostly freshman
while Alpha Chi Omegas play-
ers were mainly sophomores and
juniors. But Delta Gamma captain
Ariel Abrams, Mendota Heights,
Minn., freshman, is not making any
excuses.
We are all still working, and
we have a really great attitude, she
said.

Offense
Todd Reesing completed 37 passes but only threw for 256
yards as the Kansas ofense dinked and dunked their way
down the feld on Saturday against FIU, opting to go for the
shorter passes instead of the longer ones. One of the few
long throws that Reesing attempted was intercepted. Coach
Mark Mangino said that FIU didnt want them to run the ball
and that they were allowing them to throw the short passes
so thats what they did. Dexton Fields will miss the game
with an injury but Daymond Patterson and Jonathon Wilson
should be able to fll the void. Look for the Kansas ofense to
use the two-back set with Jake Sharp and Jocques Crawford
as they did against FIU. The ofense is set for a breakout
game.

Defense
New defensive coordinator Clint Bowen couldnt have
asked for a better debut on Saturday, allowing FIU to rack
up only 139 yards of total ofense. The only FIU touchdown
came on a punt return, meaning the defense only allowed
a feld-goal late in the second half. They held FIU to 2-14 on
third-down conversions and were able to hold FIU on several
occasions when they were handed bad feld position. Look
out for nickelback Phillip Strozier, who had two interceptions
against FIU.

special Teams
Daymond Patterson burst onto the scene in his frst col-
lege game, taking four punt returns for 135 yards. His third
of the day went for a 75-yard touchdown down the right
sideline in the second quarter. Alonzo Rojas had a strong de-
but as well, hitting two feld goals, including a 47 yarder, and
averaging 46 yards on three punts. The only slip up came
when FIU took back a punt return of their own 74 yards for
a score. Mangino said that they had made a few personnel
changes and corrected the problem.

cOaching
Mangino did a great job last year of keeping his team
focused one game at a time and that will be the chal-
lenge this week. With a big ESPN2 matchup at South
Florida looming next Friday, Mangino must some-
how keep his squad focused on Louisiana Tech
and not allow the Jayhawks to look past the
Bulldogs and think about the sunny beaches
of Tampa. Ofensive coordinator Ed Warin-
ner will continue to sprinkle in bits and
pieces of the ofense that we havent seen
before, but they will probably be saving
most of their new wrinkles for South Florida.

mOmenTum
Both teams come in with mo-
mentum after winning their frst
game of the season, but another
potential sell out crowd should give
the Jayhawks the edge. Kansas
beat FIU 40-10 but didnt play
all that well on ofense. Kan-
sas will be looking for a much
more dominating perfor-
mance and should come out
fred up.

Despite winning by 30 points,

Kansas didnt play that dominat-
ing of a game against FIU on
Saturday. A teams biggest im-
provement comes from week one
to two, so look for Kansas to come
out strong. It could be another
sellout at Memorial Stadium,
which should help propel Kansas
to a 2-0 start.

make his frst

season on Sat-
urday at right
tackle after
missing the FIU
game with an
undisclosed in-
jury. If healthy,
the redshirt
freshman should help allow Todd
Reesing more time to throw the
ball down the feld.
Will running back Jocques
Crawford and guard Adrian Mayes
play? The two were both banged
up and left the FIU game last Sat-
urday with undisclosed injuries.
Both are key parts to the ofense
and Crawford is looking to have
a breakout game after he rushed
for only 32 yards last week before
tweaking his ankle.
Will Kansas stay focused on
Louisiana Tech with South Florida
looming next week? The Jayhawks
did a great job of not looking
past any opponents in 2007 and
they are faced with that challenge
again on Saturday with a much
tougher task awaiting them next
week.
Hatch
Saturdays victory was the frst
time Louisiana Tech beat a BCS
conference team since it edged
Michigan State 20-19 in 2003. The
Bulldogs havent defeated two
BCS teams in the same season
since 1997, and the odds arent
in their favor to do it this year.
Theyre more than capable of
keeping the game uncomfort-
ably close for Kansas fans, but the
ball will have to bounce their way
more than a few times in key situ-
ations to notch the upset.

making him a very versatile
weapon out
of the Bulldog
backfeld.
Jackson scored
both touch-
downs one

last week and
he currently
ranks third all-time in Louisiana

all-purpose yards. Jackson may

on Saturday. His cousin, Tyson
Jackson, is a preseason frst team
all-SEC defensive end at LSU.
Jackson
Can the Tech secondary pull of
another miracle?
Last week Louisiana Tech sur-
rendered 257 passing yards, but
came up with key interceptions
to halt drives in its own territory.
Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing
picked apart the FIU defense
with short passes, making it more
difcult for the secondary to get
involved. The Bulldogs must force
Reesing to go deep and take
advantage when he does.
Offense
Quarterback Taylor Bennett is a smart guy he just didnt
look that way against Mississippi State. Bennett struggled,
completing only 14 of 40 passes with an interception, but he
did throw one touchdown in the second quarter. Sophomore
wide receiver Phillip Livas averaged 18 yards per catch as a
freshman and Philip Beck is a solid possession receiver. The
duo also handles the return duties with Beck covering punts
and Livas the top man for kick returns. Running back Patrick
Jackson scored both touchdowns in Louisiana Techs 22-14
victory last week.

Defense
Louisiana Techs defense has tremendous speed, good
hands and a nose for the ball. Last week the Bulldogs record-
ed three sacks, three interceptions and two fumble recover-
ies. Theyre unlikely to duplicate those numbers, but even a
fraction of that would keep them in the game longer than
expected. Junior safeties Antonio Baker and Deon Young
lead an experienced secondary and the duo each recorded
an interception last week. Defensive end Kwame Jordan is
a 6-foot-4, 245-pound animal who transferred to Louisiana
Tech from Fort Scott Community College, where he recorded
17.5 sacks in 2007.

special Teams
If Penn State is Linebacker U, then just call Louisiana
Tech Kicker U. While not nearly as sexy a title, the Bulldogs
shouldnt be ashamed of their impressive list of kicking
alumni. Current NFL place kickers Josh Scobee (Jacksonville
Jaguars) and Matt Stover (Baltimore Ravens) once booted
for the Bulldogs. As did former NFLer Chris Boniol, whos the
only player in league history to attempt seven feld goals of
28 yards or more he made all seven. Now kicking for Loui-
siana Tech is senior Brad Oestriecher, who connected on feld
goals of 48, 28 and 50 yards last week. Oestriecher also had
an extra point blocked, but still earned WAC special teams
player of the week honors.

cOaching
Derek Dooley comes from a strong coaching pedigree,
the son of legendary Georgia coach Vince Dooley.
The elder Dooley took the Bulldogs to unprec-
edented heights, winning six SEC championships
and the schools only national championship in
the last 66 years. Like his father did at Georgia,
Derek serves as Louisiana Techs football
coach and athletic director. Hes cur-
rently the only person in D-I to hold
both titles. From 2000-04, Dooley
served on Nick Sabans staf at LSU,
helping the Tigers win the 2004
national championship.

mOmenTum
The Bulldogs are riding high after
their sloppy 22-14 win last week. The game
may have been ugly, but Louisiana Techs defense
was solid and there were a lot of positives to take
away. Dooley said on Tuesday that he tried to keep
them from celebrating the win too much so they
could focus on this weeks game. Beating a bowl
team at home and defeating a BCS bowl team
on the road are two very diferent things, but
Dooleys Dawgs have plenty of confdence head-
ing into Saturdays contest.

memORial sTaDium Will

ROcK if
The young receivers come close to their
performances last week. Sophomore Dezmon
Briscoe caught three touchdown passes and
freshman Daymond Patterson electrifed the
stadium with the frst highlight-reel play of the
season a 75-yard punt return touchdown.
gale saYeRs Will Weep if
Kansas lines up to feast on another cupcake,
because Louisiana Tech is far from a tasty treat.
Derek Dooleys Dawgs have some serious bite
and their win last week shouldve let the Jay-
hawks know that theyre not to be taken lightly.
