Displaced students seek housing

Of the 32 KU students who lived in Boardwalk Apartments, Raul Diaz was one of the few lucky enough to have renters insurance. But some of his possessions destroyed by fire early Friday morning were irreplaceable, like the $10,000 worth of books he had for his evolution research, including original copies from the 1800s. When Diaz, Los Angeles graduate student, awoke to shouts of Fire! he grabbed his cell phone, keys and dog and ran down the stairs and out the front door of the three-story building. Hes now living in the guest bedroom of a friends house and looking for a new apartment. University officials said they were doing everything they could to accommodate students who lived in the destroyed apartments, including replacing textbooks and school supplies for free. Chris Johnson, associate di-

rector of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said the University would award grants of up to $1,000 from an emergency fund. Johnson said grants would vary based on the level of need, but would typically be about $500. He said several students had requested assistance as of yesterday afternoon. Johnson said displaced students should go to the Office of Student Financial Aid at 50 Strong Hall to meet with an adviser. Dave Heller, a Manhattan senior who lived in the complex, said the office gave him $500 yesterday. That amount wont go far to replace the possessions he lost in the fire. Heller said he hoped to get his $375 security deposit back from Boardwalk Apartments, along with the rent he paid through January, totalling $1,560. He also was waiting to get his car back, which was impounded at the scene while investigators searched for clues to how the fire started. Judy Miller, assistant manager of Boardwalk Apartments, said investigators took all of the

offices records. She said residents payments would be refunded when the records were returned. Diana Robertson, associate director of KU Student Housing, said the University was offering housing to those who were displaced by the fire. As of Monday afternoon, three students had called to ask about housing, but none had decided to move in. Robertson said Jayhawker Towers had the most available space. Jane Tuttle, assistant to the dean of students, said that if residents of the complex had any other needs, the University would try to accommodate them on a case-by-case basis. She urged students affected by the fire to contact the University. Heller said his next step would be to move out of his friends house and find a new apartment. Im just in the process of getting my life back together, he said. Staff writer Matt Wilson contributed to this story Edited by Erick R. Schmidt

Jennifer Farnsworth, Spring Hill junior, waits for a friend in the Smith Hall library while reading the newspaper Monday afternoon. Farnsworth said she often waits in Smith Hall to pick up her friend.

Investigators confirmed Monday that they had found three bodies in the rubble of Boardwalk Apartments, which burned down early Friday morning. Nicole Bingham, Wichita senior, is among three apartment residents missing, along with Jose Gonzales, 50, and Yolanda Riddle, an Ottawa social worker. All of the other residents have been accounted for, Mark Bradford, interim chief of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical department, said in a press conference at 2 p.m. Monday. Bradford said he was relatively sure emergency workers found all the bodies, but it could be a few days before medical examiners determine the identities of the three bodies found. The fire was reported at 1:19 a.m. Friday at Boardwalk Apart-

ments, in the 500 block of Fireside Drive, off 6th Street. When firefighters arrived at 1:25 a.m., the apartments were engulfed in flames. The fire was under control by 4:30 a.m. Thirty-two KU students lived there. At least 18 people were injured and two were taken to Kansas City for treatment. One of those injured was Eli Greenbaum, a KU graduate student. He was listed in fair condition yesterday at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City, Kan. Monday afternoon, Lyz Matney, 19, watched from across the street as firefighters dug through the rubble. She spoke of how lucky she was to move out of the building just the week before. And she thought of Nicole Bingham, whom she didnt know well, but frequently saw in passing at the apartment complex. I just talked to her in the laundry room, she said. Edited by Erick R. Schmidt

What was once home to many students will soon lose its own

On top of the hill that shadows Potters Lake sits a building that is sometimes overlooked. It is not a building where classes are held, though it is home to the bursars office and the KU Public Safety Office. Its neighbor to the north is JRP Hall, a newer-looking and more impressive building. But that building, CarruthOLeary Hall, will be torn down to make room for a new facility for the School of Business. Toni Dixon, director of communications for the School of Todays weather

Business, said she hoped the new business facility would be built within the next five years. That means the demolition of Carruth-OLeary. The hall has never been completely renovated and is underequipped, said Don Steeples, vice provost of scholarly support. Its rooms are tiny, and the general wear and tear has taken its toll. A person could walk into dozens of rooms and say, Yep, this was a dormitory, Steeples said. Carruth-OLeary began its existence as just that when it opened its doors as twin residence halls for students in the summer of

1955. It first housed the football team and students attending an international student orientation, but in the fall of 1955, it became home to 200 male students. It also was the home to basketball wonder Wilt Chamberlain, who lived at Carruth-OLeary sometime between 1955-1958. Henry Fortunato, project director and editor-in-chief of the KU History Project, said the new residence halls were built to accommodate the Universitys growth. The University was shifting its focus from normal house-sized student residences with 60 residents to larger, highrise housing buildings such as Carruth-OLeary.

The hall got its name from two University greats: Dr. William Carruth and Raphael OLeary. Dr. William H. Carruth was a University graduate who made a name for himself by becoming a professor of German and literature in 1887. He was a man before his time, coauthoring a book on womens suffrage and writing a famous poem advocating the idea of evolution. English was OLearys strong suit. He was a member of the KU English department from 1895 to 1936. He was also the first editor of the KU Graduate Magazine.

Top 10 Most Frequent Crimes In Lawrence

10. Domestic Battery 9. Forgery 8. Criminal damage to property, misdemeanors 7.Theft more than $500, less than $25,000 6. Disorderly Conduct 5. Battery 4. Burglary, motor vehicle 3. Criminal damage to property 2. Theft, misdemeanor 1. Theft, loss of <$500

Coming out in support of a group has taken on a whole new meaning today thanks to Queers & Allies celebration of National Coming Out Day today. Queers & Allies has planned multiple events in celebration. There will be a special Coming Out Day social event at 7:30 tonight in the International Room of the Kansas Union and a party Wednesday nigtht at Liquid. Queers & Allies also will have a table from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. today on Wescoe Beach. The group will provide infor-

mational fliers about coming out. The fliers will discuss what should be done before someone comes out publicly and how to deal with negative responses. Its hard to find a good time to come out, and lots of people make the mistake of doing it at the wrong time, like on holidays, when people are already stressed. Today gives them a better opportunity, said Maureen Warren, Garden City first-year graduate student and director of Queers & Allies. Warren first came out publicly during her freshman year. She said although it was a difficult thing to do in the beginning, she felt relieved

that she had finally come to terms with herself. It was painful because I lost some friends, but in another way it was liberating because I didnt have to watch what I said and worry about revealing who I really was, she said. Warren stressed that coming out is not something only queer persons do, but allies as well. She defined an ally as someone who not only believes LGBT people deserve the same legal protection as others but also that they make sure their voice is heard. Justin La Mort, Cherryvale senior, declares himself as an ally to the LGBT community and said he worked to protect its rights.

Some people say because Im not gay, why should I do anything, its pointless, he said. But if you dont help prevent their liberties from being taken away now, who knows when it will be you? La Mort is president of the American Civil Liberties Union at the University of Kansas. ACLU and Queers & Allies will co-sponsor a letterwriting campaign on Wescoe Beach to oppose proposed measures in the Kansas legislature towards same-sex parent couples wanting to adopt. ACLU is also representing Lisa Johnston, a KU alumna and lesbian, who was denied adoption in Missouri on the basis of her sexual orienta-

tion and has taken her case to court. Being gay is not against the law. This legislation institutionalizes prejudice and ignorance. There is not a single reason why homosexuals cant raise children and yet here we are having the same debate, La Mort said. Warren said being gay wasnt simply an issue about sexuality, but about respecting different points of view. I dont expect everyone to approve of my sexual orientation, but I do expect the same legal protection from hate crimes and prejudice, Warren said. Edited by Erick R. Schmidt

Governor lauds cooperation between agencies

By rOxana HEgEMan
the associated press

WICHITA Gov. Kathleen Sebelius said Monday she was pleased at the response of local and state emergency agencies to the recent floods in northeast Kansas, pointing to it as an example of the working relationship between local and state officials. Emergency management systems really worked the way they were supposed to work, Sebelius told the League of Kansas Municipalities meeting in Wichita. On Oct. 2, an unexpected

storm dumped up to a foot of rain over parts of northeast Kansas, stranding people in their homes and cars in the flash flooding that ensued in Jefferson, Jackson, Leavenworth and Shawnee counties. The governor credited the partnership between local and state officials for the fact that the flooding caused no deaths or serious injuries. Local responders who knew the people and needs of the community reacted quickly, and state agencies served as a backup to them, Sebelius told city leaders attending

a convention in Wichita. The National Guard helped get people out of nursing homes and the Kansas Highway Patrol did door-to-door notification for voluntary evacuations. If there is any lesson we learned from Katrina, I hope it is the lesson of not putting ourselves in a position we are not able to respond adequately to events we cannot necessarily predict, she said. The governor also listed other partnerships between state and local governments that have lowered costs by using the states

buying power. One of those allows local jails and the Department of Corrections to buy medications for prisoners at reduced prices. In Wichita, for example, that has resulted in savings of 42 percent in drug costs. The state health insurance plan which now covers not only state employees but employees of 45 local government units has lowered health care costs so much that employees will likely see a decrease in health care costs in the next two years, she said.

The Graduate Teaching Assistant Coalition has been in negotiations with University administrators to increase wages for graduate teaching assistants, who say the wages are not sufficient for the cost of living in Lawrence. There have been five meetings between the negotiating teams to rework the contract. The contract formally ended on Oct. 1. The University will continue to operate under current guidelines until a new contract is finalized, said Jeannette Johnson, assistant to the provost. The minimum salary for a GTA with a half-time position for the academic year at the University was $10,000 for the fiscal year 2005, but most GTAs have higher salaries than that, Johnson said. Katy Martin, spokeswoman for the GTA negotiation team, said the University provided her with an estimation that the cost of living in Lawrence would be about $13,000 annually after the GTA tuition waiver. Martin said from her experience and what she has heard from her peers, that number was incorrect. I suspect if you started looking at actual students expenses, you would probably find that their figure is a little low, Martin said.

She said the majority of GTAs have had to take out loans in order to work for the University. The exact number compiled by the University for cost of GTA living expenses was $13,100, said Stephanie Covington, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid. Covington said the $13,100 included estimated room and board, transportation, books and personal expenses. She said that cost of living would vary among individuals, and some would exceed the Universitys estimate. We just want them to have a good idea of what the costs are to live in Lawrence, Covington said. The average salary for a GTA at the University as of the fiscal year 2005 was $12,647, according to Lynn Bretz, University Relations director. Bretz said GTAs have had a 30 percent increase in salary over the past three years and that an extra $1 million yearly goes to GTAs. Bretz said the increase was made possible by the tuition increase before the fall semester. The Kansan Association of Public Employees, or KAPE, represents the GTAC and has been negotiating with the University administrative team that does all negotiations with public employees.

Nadine Billgen pays close attention to the weather these days because rain outside has found its way inside the Jayhawker Towers. The Bonn, Germany, graduate student, said she had filled buckets of water in her Jayhawker Towers apartment after heavy rain, and other Towers residents have said they have had the same problems with leaking ceilings and wet carpets. The towers old windows have been blamed for the problem. Billgen, who lives in Tower A, discovered the problem after she heard dripping sounds coming from the ceiling. Water started collecting in her light fixture then slowly dripped down the wall near the electrical outlet. She said water in the socket caused her light to short out. I got kind of scared because I thought that was not good; electricity and water dont go so well together, she said. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said that he was aware of the problem and that this falls weather has not helped the situation. The driving rains certainly aggravate that and makes it appear like more water than you normally would ever see, he said. Stoner said the Department of Student Housing would stop the leaking by installing new windows. The installation of new windows began Monday in Tower B; window replacement in Tower D will begin later this fall. The issue wont be fully solved until we get the windows replaced, Stoner said.

Nadine Billgen
Bonn, Germany, graduate student Kan., senior, who lives in Tower B said shes tired of dealing with puddles in her apartment. She said she used a towel around the window to prevent water from seeping. She said constant leaking had caused her ceiling to sag and kept the walls damp. The problem had prevented her from hanging pictures on the wall or setting anything on the floor. I pay enough per semester to not have to have this, she said. A two-person apartment in the towers costs $4,074 per year. While residents have contacted maintenance to address the issue, students said there has been no response. Billgen said she had talked to her Resident Assistant and called the department but had gotten a reaction only after she sent an e-mail to the department. Little was done then to fix the problem because the leaking had stopped, and the water had dried up. She said she understood the problem couldnt be fixed overnight, but she would like the department to provide some temporary solutions. It would be nice if they could do something about it just give the feeling that they care, she said. Edited by Theresa Montao

Police under scrutiny

Robert Davis shows scrapes on his elbows Monday near the intersection of Bourbon and Conti streets in the French Quarter in New Orleans where New Orleans police officers arrested him on Saturday night. Davis arrest was captured on tape and has sparked an investigation into the conduct of the officers who arrested him.

Now.
kansan.com

NEW ORLEANS Their homes are gone, their families scattered, their reputations sliding by the day. Home for most New Orleans police officers is a cramped cruise ship, and work is 12- to 14-hour days in a wrecked city. When time off does come along, there is nowhere to go and no one to spend it with. Experts say the personal and professional upheaval is catching up with the New Orleans police force in the form of desertions, suicides, corruption and perhaps even the videotaped beating by officers of a 64-yearold man in the French Quarter. This is unprecedented in our country, said Dr. Howard Osofsky, chairman of psychiatry at the LSU Medical School Health Sciences Department. There is no disaster that has

had the amount of trauma for a department that this has, where so many police officers have lost homes, been separated from their families, had loved ones living in other places with no idea when theyll return. At least two officers took their own lives in Katrinas aftermath. At the same time, the 1,450-member department said it was investigating nearly 250 officers accused of leaving their posts and 12 suspected of looting or condoning looting. Authorities are also looking into allegations officers took nearly 200 cars from a Cadillac dealership during the storm. On Saturday night, Robert Davis was bloodied by officers using their fists, and another officer attacked an Associated Press Television News producer who helped capture the incident on tape. Ive been here for six weeks trying to keep ... alive. ... Go home! shouted the officer. Davis denied that he had been

drunk, as police alleged. He said he had just returned to the city to check on his property. Three officers were suspended without pay, charged with battery and pleaded not guilty Monday. The U.S. Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation Monday. Police Superintendent Warren Riley said any misconduct found in the investigation would be dealt with swiftly. He noted the video showed a portion of that incident. The actions that were observed on this video are certainly unacceptable by this department, Riley said. Two other officials in the video appeared to be federal officers, according to police. Numerous agencies have sent officers to help with patrols in the aftermath of Katrina, and police spokesman Marlon Defillo said it would be up to their superiors to decide if they would face any disciplinary action.

1a Carruth-OLeary became a womens residence hall in 1964. It remained that way for a year before the headquarters for the English, classics, classical archaeology, German, Romance languages, and family life departments moved in in May of 1965. Those departments eventually moved out and were replaced by the KU Public Safety

Office in 1986. The Public Safety Office plans to move to the former University Printing Services building at 15th and Crestline streets in the spring of 2006. It has not been determined where the other administrative offices in CarruthOLeary will be moved. Steeples said it was still to be determined whether the University would tear down Carruth-OLeary first, or tear it down after the new business facility was built.

Fred McElhenie, University research consultant, said he saw a pattern with both the building and the future destruction of Carruth-OLeary. Campus is simply growing and needs more space, he said. Carruth-OLeary was built to accommodate a growing University, and its demolition would serve that same purpose, McElhenie said. Edited by Ty Beaver

Domestic abuse: a black eye on our society

Wherever you are right now, stop and look around. If you are female, look at two girls sitting next to you. Now imagine that one of the three of you has been domestically abused. If you are male, observe three women around you on campus. Pick one of them out. You have just brought to life with your imagination the statistic that one in three women will be domestically abused in their lifetime. Domestic violence is defined as physical, sexual, or psychological harm to another by a current or former partner or spouse, according to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month, and on Oct. 4, 2005 at City Hall Mayor Den-

ERICA PRATHER

nis Boog Highberger proclaimed that the City of Lawrence recognized this month through supporting victims of domestic violence. Because domestic violence affects nearly 5.3 million women age 18 and older in the United States, it is clearly a problem that needs addressing. According to the NCIPC, the predominant age group for domestic abuse is 19 to 29. Traditional college students fall directly into this category. Domestic violence is abuse by an intimate partner. It is not limited to a specif-

ic type of relationship. Heterosexual, homosexual and platonic couples all face the affects of domestic violence. Some may overlook the fact that verbal abuse is considered domestic violence. Name-calling, threats and intimidating language are usually what starts a vicious cycle of abuse and can lead to physical abuse and even death. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, 1,247 women were murdered by their intimate partner in the year 2000. This averages out to three women a day and is an astronomical number for a country that was founded on escaping oppression. Although women constitute 85 percent of domestic abuse cases, men are affected as well. According to the October 2003 Morbidity and Mor-

tality Weekly Report, there are 835,000 domestic abuse cases against men per year. If you think that because you have not been abused that your life is not directly affected by domestic violence, think again.

It is a silent problem that plagues women of all ages, ethnicities and socio-economic status that will never be solved unless we all take a stand.
As a taxpayer, you should know that your government spends approximately $5.8

billion on health related costs because of domestic violence (also according to Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report). This money goes to physiological counseling, medical attention and governmentsponsored shelters. So what can you do to help support victims of domestic violence? For one, you can volunteer your time at Womens Transitional Care Services, a safe house for women who are in abusive relationships right here in Lawrence. You can make donations of clothing, hygiene products or money to The United Way of Douglas County. It has workers to deliver donations to the safe house. You can participate in a 3-on-3-basketball tournament November 12 hosted by Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. All proceeds go to benefit

the Alpha Chi Omega Foundation, which gives monetary donations to womens shelters. Victims of domestic violence are mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, cousins, best friends and lovers. If you suspect domestic abuse or are in an abusive relationship, call WTCS for shelter or counseling at (785) 843-3333. Domestic abuse is not something to be taken lightly. It is a silent problem that plagues women of all ages, ethnicities and socio-economic status that will never be solved unless we all take a stand. Prather is a Wichita junior in English and communication studies. She is a member of Alpha Chi Omega sorority.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Performance not heritage Quote laughably wrong

I was fascinated by your choice for the cover story on Oct. 5 (Offensively Funny by Malinda Osborne). First, with all else that was covered, even on your own front page, Mr. Carlos Mencias performance was hardly the one that ought to grab the headline. I feel sorry for the Lama Palden Gyatso (his, a more compelling story). Not picking his story hardly evidences Kansas as a university in the literal sense. Second, to characterize the content of Mencias performance as somehow reflective of Hispanic Heritage is both short-sighted and insulting. Apparently, Hispanic heritage worth top billing in your paper is vulgar, racist,

characterize the content of Mencias performance as somehow reective of hispanic heritage is both short-sighted and insulting.
misogynist pabulum. Lastly, it is irresponsible journalism to include a euphemism for the female genitalia in a quote as if the quotation marks somehow make it excusable. Im sure that there were other quotes available illustrative

...To

of Ms. Osbornes weak point (although I am sure that Mr. Mencia provided little worth publishing at all). All of this is notwithstanding the several typographical errors, verb tense issues and overall awkward syntax in this hastily constructed issue. Please be more discriminating and do justice to this as a learning institution. John Smolen Overland Park junior

The article
To read the article in question, visit... http://www.kansan. com/stories/2005/ oct/05/mencia/

I attended Carlos Mencias show at the Lied Center on Oct. 4, and read the Kansan article Offensively Funny the next morning. The only thing that offended me was how Mencia was misquoted in the article. After his routine, he was kind enough to stick around for a Q & A session with the audience. Because Mencias schtick was to make fun of everyone and everything, one of the audience members asked him what, if anything, actually offended him. His response was absolutely nothing If I slap you, its offensive. If I call you a cunt, its funny. He explained that physical violence and oppression were offensive to him, and

The point is that

the difference between laughable and funny and the context of the quote are huge, and its irresponsible to get such an important word wrong...
that words can only hurt you if you let them. To illustrate, he told the story of how a man was stabbed to death right outside his door when he was 8 years old, and

shakily said that was the kind of thing that offended him. Thats when he said See, if I come over there and slap you, its offensive. If I call you a cunt, its laughable. That, indeed, got a big laugh (we needed one right then). I dont think I need to break down what distinguishes the words funny and laughable from each other for a bunch of college students. The point is that the difference between laughable and funny and the context of the quote are huge, and its irresponsible to get such an important word wrong in such a short quote.

Great pumpkin race to go on without Martha

WINDSOR, Nova Scotia Bad weather ended up derailing Martha Stewarts plans to ride in a giant pumpkin on a Canadian lake. Stewarts flight was grounded Sunday morning at a Maine airport as heavy rains fell across the East Coast. She was expected to settle into a giant, hollowed-out pumpkin and paddle her way across Lake Pesaquid, alongside 40 other competitors for an annual charity race.

St. Louis Rams team president John Shaw, anked by Jay Zygmunt, president of football operations, right, and interim head coach Joe Vitt, talks to the media on Monday in St. Louis about the health of head coach Mike Martz, who will step down indenitely because of a bacterial infection in his heart. Vitt will lead the team in Martzs absence.

ST. LOUIS St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz is out indenitely with a bacterial infection of the heart. Martz was told by a specialist Monday that his condition, which kept him out of two practices last week, had worsened. The 54-year-old has been ill for more than a month and was tested for endocarditis, a bacterial infection of the lining of the heart or a heart valve. After the Rams 37-31 loss Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks, Martz said he shouldnt have been on the sideline. St. Louis dropped to 2-3. Rams president John Shaw said Monday that Martz will be hospitalized four to 12 days but would not speculate on the length of his absence. Shaw said he wasnt told the specic name of the illness, but was led to think that Martzs heart valve had weakened since last week. I think he was concerned he was letting down a lot of people, but also had concern about the gravity of the situation, Shaw said. The antibiotics that Martz began taking on Friday didnt seem to help, Shaw said, but he

didnt know if any additional procedures would be necessary. Severe cases of endocarditis can require open-heart surgery. Assistant head coach Joe Vitt will take over as coach. Martz told his players during a brief, but emotional, team meeting that he would step aside, Vitt said. The team is his concern, Vitt said. His health is our No. 1 concern. Martz spoke with a raspy voice after Sundays game but sounded optimistic about his health. Still, he said that in retrospect, he should have allowed offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild to run the show. I wasnt myself this week, the game plan wasnt clear for me, Martz said. Its over with now, but I just feel what happened to me has affected this team, and that breaks my heart. Martz was rst hospitalized Sept. 30 with what was thought to be a sinus infection. He coached two days later during a 44-24 loss to the New York Giants. Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren, a friend of Martzs, advised the Rams coach to be careful with his health. With the health problem like

he seems to have, hes got to take care of it. Hes got to take care of himself, his family. Hes got to think of way more things than football, of winning a football game, Holmgren said. But its hard for us. Its hard for all of us to back away on something like that. Endocarditis affects 10,000 to 20,000 Americans each year and in some cases can require openheart surgery, said Arthur Labovitz, director of cardiology at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Its a very serious condition, Labovitz said. There can be some serious complications that are probably inuenced by how you take care of yourself once a diagnosis is made. Now in his sixth season with the Rams, Martz is 56-36 including the postseason. The Rams have missed the playoffs just once in his tenure (2002) and reached the Super Bowl after the 2001 season, losing 20-17 to New England. Martz joined the Rams as offensive coordinator in 1999, and his high-powered offense led St. Louis to its rst Super Bowl title that season. He became head coach following Dick Vermeils retirement after that championship run.

Bears take home winning record

After all, the Bears (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) have hardly been in Waco this season. Four of their first five games were on the road. After a 23-13 victory at Iowa State on Saturday, the Bears announced a Fill the Floyd effort to pack the 50,000-seat Floyd Casey Stadium for Saturdays game against Nebraska. In their only home game so far this season, addressed this week in practice. He did not credit the Kansas State defense for stopping the Kansas offense. Kansas State did not do things much differently than they had not done in the last couple of years, Mangino said. We did not respond properly. Barmann started the game, but was replaced by Luke. They combined for seven completions against Kansas State and were unable to move the ball, despite receiving great position from the KU defense. Kansas accumulated just eight first downs on the day. Football Note: Mangino said the team did not plan on having a pre-game walkthrough at Arrowhead Stadium before Saturdays game in Kansas City, Mo. He said the team would have the walk-through in Lawrence and take a bus to the game. Edited by Ty Beaver spending two years practicing with the team, lets hope Herford knows more than just two plays. Dont switch partners in the middle of the dance: Twice in the second quarter, Kansas faced third down and three yards to go on the Kansas State side of the field. Both times the play call was a pass. Facing a defense that was guarding exclusively against the run, Jon Cornish still averaged 3.9 yards per rush. So why was he a non-factor on two of the biggest plays of the game? The offensive line performed admirably against a good Wildcat defense, allowing Cornish to make plays when none existed. We take it upon ourselves to do what we need to do, center David Ochoa said. 36,595 fans turned out. It will be interesting to see how many folks show up, Morriss said Monday. I think enthusiasm right now is pretty high. Were expecting a big crowd. I hope that we get a big crowd. The 4-1 record is Baylors best since 1995, the teams last year in the Southwestern Conference. Baylor finished 7-4 and moved to the Big 12 a season later. Already, the Bears have four victories in a season for the first time since 1996, and players are starting to be treated differently on campus. Its the first time in forever that weve been 4-1, Morriss said. We just have to speak to them as coaches about tuning that stuff out. from the mountains? A: (Laughing) People ask me that a lot. Just the strong volleyball program. I came on my visit and got hooked. A lot of it was the team chemistry. Everyone got along. I went to a game and it was an awesome atmosphere in terms of fans and everything. I liked what I saw. Q: What did setting the assist record mean to you? A: Personally, it was just a good feeling. I got to do it in front of my friends and family from Colorado, so that was the best part of it good feeling for all my family to be there and my mom and dad. Q: Before the season, did you circle that game, planning on setting the record then? A: No. (laughing) People probably think I did. Edited by Theresa Montao coordinator Nick Quartaro still have the ability to bring in players being recruited by better schools. The only thing Mangino changed after moving to Kansas was he stopped calling the plays on offense, which Quartaro now handles. With six games left on the schedule, Mangino needs to take this team over and make it his own. The Jayhawk defense is good enough to keep games within a touchdown, and clever play calling could mean the difference between a win and another busy day for punter Kyle Tucker. These changes may not be the exact formula, but after Saturday, its hard to imagine things getting uglier. F Phillips is a Wichita junior in journalism.

OKLAHOMA CITY Off to their best start in a decade and with a 37-game road losing streak in conference play finally behind them, Baylor coach Guy Morriss and the Bears are interested to see what kind of reaction they get back home.

Changes
10a I have come to the conclusion that too much blame has been put on the quarterbacks here, Mangino said. There is enough ineptitude to go around on offense to go around for everyone. Mangino admitted that the offensive performance was the worst since he arrived at Kansas in 2002. The offense had just 236 yards of total offense and turned the ball over three times. The Jayhawks converted points in one out of four redzone opportunities, after coming into the game with a 100 percent conversion rate. The quarterback needs some help. He needs some help from the other 10 guys out there, Mangino said. Mangino said that the offensive struggles were ultimately his responsibility and that the problems would be

Chemistry
10a Q: Were you a natural when you started playing? A: No. I dont remember, really. I remember one time getting hit in the head when I wasnt paying attention to the game, so I guess not. Q: Major? A: Sports management. Q: What are your plans after you graduate? A: Not quite sure. Ive thought a lot about going to Brazil to live for a little while and learn Portuguese. Thats where my boyfriends from. Q: I saw youre from Loveland, Colo. What do you miss most about Colorado? A: Oh, the mountains, no doubt. I love the mountains. Im a mountain girl.

New coach arrives at Kansas with notable junior college record

The Kansas Athletics Department has hired a new assistant baseball coach. Rick Sabath will coach catchers and hitters and will serve as the bench coach for Kansas baseball coach Ritch Price. Sabath spent the past three seasons as the head coach at Garden City Community College in Garden City. He has been one of the most successful junior college coaches in the state of Kansas and throughout the entire Midwest, Price said. Not only is he an outstanding coach, but he is an outstanding person and we think he is a great fit for our program. Last season, Sabath lead Garden City to a 4117 record and one win shy of the Junior College World Series. Sabath received his masters degree from Kansas in 1996.

10a Mangino switches quarterbacks whenever he feels the offense needs a spark. For the first time this season, he was able to find that spark in a redshirt freshman. A 24-yard lateral pass from Charles Gordon to Herford showed that a spread offense could move the ball effectively. If Herford and Jon Cornish were both in the game at the same time, defenses could no longer cram the line to chase down Cornish because they would have to respect Herfords bootlegging ability. When asked why Herford didnt stay in the game, Mangino said that those were two plays scripted specifically for Herford to run. After

They did Saturday, but werent given the chance when it really mattered. Slow down the huddle: The Jayhawk defense was on the field for 42 minutes of football, while the Wildcat defense only had to play 18. This difference was created with the Wildcats running only 16 more plays than the Jayhawks (68 to 52). Whichever quarterback starts next week needs to use the clock to his advantage. Slow huddles might be boring to fans, but they mean everything to the 11 defenders desperately trying to catch their breath. Mangino calls the offensive plays: While at Oklahoma, Mangino presided over one of the best offenses in the country. Now at Kansas, he and offensive

Junior quarterback Adam Barmann prepares to throw as K-State defensive end Tearrius George attempts to block him. Barmann started against the Wildcats on Saturday, but completed just three passes. Coach Mark Mangino may start senior Jason Swanson on Saturday, the fourth quarterback to see the field.

After Saturdays quarterback struggles, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino is again juggling his options in who will start in the next game. Mangino said he had not made a decision on Saturdays game against Oklahoma during Mondays Big 12 coaches teleconference. We are going to move pretty quickly, Mangino said. We are not going to drag it out and try to see what happens. We are going to make a decision and we are going to live with it and continue with it. Junior quarterback Adam

Barmann, senior quarterback Brian Luke, freshman quarterback Marcus Herford and senior quarterback Jason Swanson, according to reports, will compete for the starting job. Herford saw only two offensive plays against Kansas State. He was the third quarterback to see action against the Wildcats. Swanson has yet to play this season and has been recovering from injury. Mangino said that he would meet with the quarterbacks and would begin to formulate who will start this weekend. Despite the quarterback struggles, Mangino said they were not the only players to blame for the poor play.

Weekend sees the end of two Texas streaks

By Daniel Berk touchdowns and no interceptions. It was the second big win of the season for Young and the Longhorns. They defeated then No. 4 Ohio State on the road by three. Texas now sits at 5-0, and will host Big 12 north frontrunner Colorado on Saturday. Texas football coach Mack Brown said his team couldnt enjoy the Oklahoma victory for too long. We had six months to enjoy our Rose Bowl win, Brown said. Then we had six hours to enjoy the Ohio State win, and its the same thing now with this win. Brown said he was looking forward to the challenge of Colorado, who is the favorite to win the North. Colorado is 2-0 in conference play and 4-1 overall. The Buffaloes defeated Texas A&M at home on Saturday and shut out Oklahoma State on the road two weeks ago in their conference opener. Edited by Ty Beaver

The Baylor Bears did something on Saturday that they had never done: they won a Big 12 Conference road game. It took Baylor 10 years and nearly 40 games to notch the victory, but the Bears defeated the Iowa State Cyclones in Ames, Iowa, 23-13. Baylor football coach Guy Morriss said he was glad to put an end to the losing streak, but the team still had work that needed to be done. People are real excited here in Waco about the team, and they should be, Morriss said. Now, were 4-1 and were getting some attention and the guys are getting pats on the back at class. But we understand the pressures on us to keep winning. Junior kicker Ryan Havens paced Baylor during the weekend. Havens connected on three field goals, with his longest coming from 49 yards out. He was named Big 12 Special

Dont fret, Mangino: heres what you need

Football this ugly needs to come with some sort of warning label. Nothing too fancy, just enough to let people know what theyre in for. Surgeon Generals Warning: Watching Kansas play football may be hazardous to your health. Watching a team rush for 35 yards on 45 attempts is bad. Watching that team win the game is ugly. Saturday wasnt standard bad plays and blooper-reel ugly. This was David Padgett vs. Eric Chenowith ugly. Still, fans who were able to stomach all 60 minutes of that game know that the Jayhawks would be crazy to throw in the towel halfway through the season. Three victories short of a bowl, the Jayhawks still have home games against Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State in

Kansas football coach Mark Mangino doesnt need to spend the next few nights sleepless thinking about what to do; Ive compiled a handy list for him. Marcus Herford is the quarterback: Herford entered Saturdays game for two plays, which just happened to be two of the most successful plays of the game.

Senior setter Andi Rozum broke the all-time assist record for the Jayhawks in front of her friends and family Oct. 1 at Colorado. I sat down with Rozum after the Kansas State match last week to find out what the all-time assist leader likes to do away from volleyball and whether she waited to set the record in her home state.

A: Top Gun, easily. Q: Big Tom Cruise fan? A: Nope, just Top Gun. Q: What do you have in your

CD player right now, or what are you listening to on your iPod? A: I like such a variety of music, I dont even know. I like country a lot. Q: Favorite Lawrence restaurant? A: I like Chipotle. Im a big fan of Chipotle. Q: Favorite place to hang out in Lawrence? A: I just really like to hang out at home and watch movies. Q: Favorite beverage? A: Dr Pepper. Q: When did you start playing volleyball? A: When I was about 10 years old. Q: How did you get started playing? A: Peer pressure, pretty much. My friends said, Hey, you want to play volleyball?
