Hazem(left) and his brother BassemChahine, Lebanon seniors, smoke favored tobacco froma hookah and converse at the Hookah House, a newLebanese Hookah bar opening Sept. 8 at 7th and
Massachusetts streets. Their mother, Leila, opened the store because of her love for the Lebanese culture.
Ordinance makes exception for hookah
By MArk viErthAlEr
Sitting above the hustle of
Massachusetts Street, next to
Vermont Street BBQ, Leila Chahine,
a Lebanese immigrant, sits at a table
decorated with intricate designs.
Lined up on shelves behind her
stand hookahs, water pipes used to
smoke flavored tobacco. The smoker
inhales through a mouthpiece and
the water helps take the bite off the
tobacco. Every home in Lebanon
has its own hookah, Leila said. By
the time a child turned 16, he would
have had his first smoke.
The Lebanese Hookah House,
730 Massachusetts St., opening
Sept. 6, will be one of the first
businesses in Lawrence to find a
loophole in the citywide smoking
ban.
Along with her sons, Hazem and
Bassem, Leila will offer customers
the chance to rent a hookah and
smoke it in their business.
The path to opening a smoke-
specific establishment has taken a
year from start to finish.
Interested in creating an oppor-
tunity for Lawrence residents to
experience Lebanese culture, Leila
and her family bought the loft on
Massachusetts Street. However, the
citywide smoking ban put a stop to
the business right away.
Leila said they spent a year talk-
ing to various governmental bodies
in Lawrence to get a special injunc-
tion, including the city commission,
the mayor and the health depart-
ment.

Football
facility work
to begin
in October
By MArk viErthAlEr
The first steps toward comple-
tion of the football-only facility
near Memorial Stadium could get
underway in October with con-
struction of parking lots to replace
student spaces that will be lost
to the new buildings, a university
official said.
The University parking commis-
sion met Tuesday in an emergency
meeting to discuss the Athletics
Departments preliminary proposal
for the facility.
The new football facility will
include a new locker room, weight
training area, meeting space and
offices for coaches and will be near
new practice fields. The project,
funded by private donations to the
Athletics Department, is an effort
to centralize football operations at
Memorial Stadium.
In order to build the facility,
some student parking spaces need
to be removed.
A portion of the lot near Potter
Lake, lot 59, would be replaced
with offices, the plans show. More
than half of the lot east and south
of Memorial Stadium, north of the
Spencer Museum of Art, lot 91,
would be converted into practice
fields for the football team. What
would remain of the lot would
no longer be connected to the lot
directly east of the stadium, lot 94.
The current proposal would
eliminate 419 spaces, virtually all
of which are yellow, student spaces.
Replacement spaces would be built
along the hill between JRP Hall
and the Stadium.
The new parking spots would
replace the 419 spaces, space for
space, the plan says.
Jim Modig, director of Design
and Construction Management,
explained these changes to mem-
bers of the parking commission,
who had concerns about how the
construction would affect traffic
patterns and parking.
Committee members raised
concerns with the traffc fow of
the current parking situation. Lots
55 and 59 have access only to 11th
Street and only from the road
between the stadium and the Tau
Kappa Epsilon house. The chance
of accidents is increased if hun-
dreds of spaces are added to that
area, committee members said.

Changes at Te Market
attract new patrons
By kiM lynch
Alex Babst and Layne Alexander
sat at a table Tuesday afternoon
reading and relaxing in the Kansas
Union near The Market, which was
recently renovated.
Babst, Wichita junior, said
he preferred The Market to The
Underground because it was less
crowded.
Alexander, Wichita freshman, said
The Market was more relaxing than
The Underground and she liked the
new open and clean atmosphere.
Babst and Alexander are just two
of the students who are now enjoy-
ing the face-lift the Market received
over the summer.
The new eateries in the Market
include: Boulevard Grill, which
serves burgers, chicken fingers
and sandwiches; Corner Bakery,
which serves desserts and bagels;
Fresco! Cuisine, a pasta bar; Garden
Gourmet, which is a full salad bar;
and Quesarito, which serves quesa-
dillas and burritos.

AIDS vaccination
works in monkeys
By dAnny luPPino
A University of Kansas research-
er has successfully developed a
DNA vaccine for the AIDS virus in
monkeys. The study was published
in the August issue of the medical
journal Virology.
Opendra Narayan, chairman of
microbiology, molecular genetics
and immunology at the University
of Kansas Medical Center, said
having the successful tests pub-
lished would help to allow him to
move forward in producing a vac-
cine for humans.
It worked pretty well, Narayan
said. It worked so well in prevent-
ing AIDS in monkeys; it should
work the same in humans.
Narayan said that if a human
vaccine was successful, it would be
a big step in replacing current daily
treatments for AIDS patients.
It would enable people to get
off their drugs, Narayan said.
The next step for Narayan is to
obtain investigational new drug
status for the vaccine so human
tests can begin at the Med Center.
In addition, ImmunoGenetix
Therapeutics, Inc., the Lenexa
company with the license to pro-
duce the vaccine, will scale up pilot
manufacturing.
Jim Laufenberg, president and
CEO of ImmunoGenetix, said he
was excited about the results of
the study and the possibilities it
created.
I think this most recent find-
ing is quite interesting in that,
from what I can tell, no one today
has demonstrated those kind of
results, Laufenberg said. When
you consider 12 out of 12 monkeys
had positive results, thats quite
impressive.
Laufenberg said he was also
excited for the attention the study
and possible human tests could
bring to the Med Center.
It certainly would bring a lot
of recognition to what were doing
here, Laufenberg said. It would,
in my opinion, put KU Med on a
level playing field with some of the
other things being done around
the country.
Narayan said the biggest obsta-
cle to human tests would be obtain-
ing the large amounts of fund-
ing he would require. He said the
National Institutes of Health would
be the primary target for funding,
but the publication of the study
could provide alternatives.
It will be helpful, Narayan
said. It increases the chances to
get private funding.

Where were you on
September 11?
From managing editor,
Erick R. Schmidt:
Like most of the current
Kansan staf, I was in high
school when 9/11 happened. I
remember going from class to
class, watching the coverage
on CNN. I waited in line for 45
minutes to fll my car with gas,
and a woman with a Bible told
me Jesus was coming. MTV
played Bob Marley videos, and
I couldnt stop watching in
between the news cover-
age. I kept waiting for a sense
of calm to take over and for
things to return to normal. Five
years later, I guess Im still wait-
ing. Go to Kansan.com/Sept11

Desk Manager of Hashinger Hall
Even before Malaki Edison
became a student at the University
of Kansas, he knew it was his home.
He specifically felt tied to Hashinger
Hall, where he has been spending
time with his friends since 1996.
I used to skate inside at the fifth
floor lobby, Edison said.
The sixth-year senior has been
considering himself a Hashie ever
since. He is the desk manager of
the hall, handling logistics, desk
staff and security staff. He has only
lived elsewhere when Hashinger was
closed for renovations. Even during
his year away from the hall, he never
really left. As a member of the reno-
vation committee, he was able to be
the voice of the students.
We won and lost on the reno-
vations, Edison said. But every-
thing that we have, like the porch, is
because the students fought for it.
During the renovations Edison
was the desk manager at Ellsworth
Hall. Though he had no complaints,
Edison was happy to move back into
Hashinger.
I loved the residence at Ellsworth,
but the architecture there is just
not the same. I just dig this place,
Edison said.
Edison is an expanded media art
and film student. After college he
wants to go to graduate school in
New York or get a job in the indus-
try, but he still wants to be involved
in the education system.
If I had it my way, Id be involved
in film after college, but I still want
to look at being a professor, Edison
said.
After the renovations, Edison
is adjusting to the changes in
Hashinger. Drywall instead of cinder
blocks and new, unbroken furniture
and lights are some of the biggest
differences, he said. Still, Hashinger
is truly his home.
Hash was the first time I felt like
I belonged somewhere, Edison said.
When they took the fence down
and we could sit on the porch again,
I knew I was back home.

Teachers ban laptops during some classes
Policy business
By Nate McgiNNis
Students who enjoy the conve-
nience of using a laptop computer
during lectures might have a tougher
time doing so as some instructors
begin to ban them in their classes.
Some instructors from the School
of Journalism, School of Architecture
and College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences have implemented a rule
banning laptops.
Lisa Wright, first-year Ph.D. stu-
dent from Overland Park, teaches
Elements of Sociology. Wright has
had a ban on laptops during her
classes for the past two semesters.
Wright said that when she was a
teaching assistant in larger class-
rooms, such as the ones in Budig
Hall, she often saw students checking
Facebook, playing online poker and
even looking at pornography.
Its one of those things where one
student can ruin it for everyone,
Wright said.
Wright said that in a smaller class-
room, laptop computers were not
so much of a problem because she
could see the students more easily.
She said she didnt think laptops were
necessary for students to succeed in
her class, because she used mainly
overhead transparencies and didnt
post anything online.
Laura Fisher, Steamboat Springs,
Colo., sophomore, admitted to surf-
ing the Internet during class, but
only at the beginning. Fisher said
she primarily used her laptop to take
notes during her Introduction to
Economics class.
Fisher said it was easier for her to
type her notes because she can type
faster than she can write.
When I have the option, I defi-
nitely get more out of typing it,
Fisher said
Fisher also said that when she
studied for her class, having typed
notes made the material easier to
print off and study.
Colby Guthrie, Fredonia fresh-
man, recently brought his laptop to
class for the first time. Guthrie used
his computer to register his CPS
clicker before class and review notes
online. Guthrie said he liked the
advantage of being able to view his
notes in class when he didnt have
time beforehand.
I think it helps out a lot to see
what youre going to cover that day,
Guthrie said.
Unlike the students that caused
Wright to implement a laptop ban,
Guthrie said he only used his com-
puter for academic work that day
in class.
I got on, looked at my notes and
turned it off, Guthrie said.

Ads in textbooks
may lower prices
Publishing company working to make
textbooks more afordable for students
By BeN sMith
Students are constantly being
bombarded with advertisements
from the radio, television and
movies, but now ads may also be
popping up in textbooks.
Freeload Press, Inc. of St. Paul,
Minn., was launched in 2004 with
the mission to make textbooks and
study materials more affordable for
college students.
By selling ad space to companies
such as Culvers, Fed-Ex Kinkos
and Pura Vida Coffee, Freeload
Press intends to take the burden
of buying text-
books off the
shoulders of
college stu-
dents.
I get par-
ents calling,
hundreds of
e-mails from
students, all
looking to
defray the
cost of their
e duc a t i on,
said Howard
Quinlan, chairman of the board
and chief operating officer of
Freeload Press.
The company started 18 months
ago as a Web site getting 2,000 hits
a week. During this last month, it
averaged between 1.3 and 1.4 mil-
lion hits.
David Holmes, professor of psy-
chology and textbook author, said
the average new textbook cost a
student about $116.
He said the reason for high prices
could be attributed to the amount
of money spent producing supple-
mental materials. Such materials
include study guides, instructors
manuals and CD-ROMs that are
included in the textbook price.
Although companies are spend-
ing more money to produce extra
materials, Holmes said that most
students he talked to didnt use
them.
Holmes said he thought the idea
of letting advertising pay for text-
books was interesting and he saw
no way it would hinder education-
al endeavors. But he said advertise-
ments for certain products, such as
cigarettes, were problematic.
The small
p u b l i s h i n g
firm is attract-
ing the inter-
ests of big firms
in addition to
students.
B r u c e
Hi l debr and,
president and
spokesman for
the Association
of American
Pu b l i s h e r s ,
said that the
textbook publishing industry was a
highly competitive business reliant
on the opinions of professors.
If Freeload is able to provide
materials that meet the needs of
students, the faculty will choose
them, Hildebrand said. If not,
they will go away.

Jessica Mortinger, KU on Wheels
student representative and trans-
portation coordinator, said if they
didnt add an access point, the traffic
on 11th Street would become even
busier. There was also concern the
increased number of people exiting
from one access point could back
up traffic three blocks to Mississippi
Street.
Maintaining security in the new
lots was also a concern. Modig said
the Athletics Department had plans
to pay for new lighting and emer-
gency blue lights in the new lots.
Tom Mulinazzi, chairman of the
parking commission, said the com-
mission wouldnt pay for any adjust-
ments that may have to be made to
the Athletics Departments plan.
Modig said work on the new
parking lots would begin, barring
setbacks, by October. After the new
parking is built, Modig said con-
struction of the practice field would
begin.
Associate Athletics Director Jim
Marchiony said the plan to replace
parking spaces wasnt set. He said
the department would review all
concerns before beginning con-
struction.
Who will use the football teams
current practice fields, near Allen
Fieldhouse, is not yet decided,
Marchiony said. The department has
not yet completed an update to its
facilities master plan, he said.
The parking commission recom-
mended developing a list of concerns
to send to the building committee.
Concerns include automobile
access to the new parking spaces,
pedestrian access to the new lots
in order to preserve the grass, the
construction of a traffic signal
at the intersection of Maine and
11th streets the point where the
expanded lot meets 11th Street, the
refusal of the parking commission
to pay for changes and potential for
on-campus bus access.

Freshens Smoothie Company
has combined with Pulse and is
now on the fourth floor of the
Union. Shant Thomas, marketing
coordinator of KU Dining Services,
said this change would make it
easier to stop and get something
quickly rather than having to go
down another floor.
James Duckworth, Olathe
junior and The Market employee,
said that he thought The Market
had improved because there were
more options for food and more
open space.
Katie Willert, Olathe senior,
said she liked the new setup, but
couldnt really see much of a differ-
ence from last year.

The Chahines eventually spoke
with Toni Wheeler, the city attor-
ney handling all smoking cases for
the city.
With Wheelers help, they were
granted the ability to allow a
smoke-friendly atmosphere, if they
followed a few guidelines.
No one younger than 18 years
old is allowed in the hookah house,
Bassem said.
The house has to have a notifica-
tion saying it is not a child-friendly
business. They must also notify
potential customers that smoke is
allowed in the building and those
with asthma are discouraged from
frequenting the location.
The hookah house is not allowed
to sell main food dishes. They must
ensure 75 to 80 percent of their
income is from tobacco and hoo-
kahs. The other 20 to 25 percent
comes from the sale of hummus,
coffee and soft drinks.
Hazem said the hummus and
the drinks come complimentary
with the renting of hookah.
Dennis Boog Highberber, city
commissioner, said the administra-
tive interpretation for the hookah
house wouldnt encourage other
businesses to try to get smoking
allowed.
Highberger said the ordinance
made a special exception for tobac-
co shops.
Im reasonably sure we wont
be allowing tobacco shops to be
carved out of existing businesses,
he said.
Wheeler was out of the office
until Sept. 1 and unavailable for
comment.
Leila said it was her love and
respect of her native Lebanese cul-
ture that inspired her to found the
hookah house.
Theres a discipline to using the
hookah, Leila said. Even the way
you hand it to the person next to
you is an art. The hookah teaches
hospitality.
To avoid spreading disease,
the house uses disposable plastic
nipples that fit in the mouthpiece,
Bassem said. The hoses are also
disinfected with alcohol between
uses.

U.S. Representative Dennis
Moore (D-Kansas) isnt counting,
but he said he hopes the U.S. House
will revert back to a Democrat
majority in 72 days.
Moore spoke at a Young
Democrats sponsored meeting
Tuesday night in the Kansan Room
of the Kansan Union.
He said he believes in a divided
government for the United States,
not one party that controls each
branch. With Republicans in con-
trol, he said it is hard to put the
brakes on their path of destruc-
tion.
But the running theme through
his discussion was that Congress is
not about partisan politics.
Eighty-percent of what we do
in Congress should not be about
Democrats or Republicans, Moore
said. Its about taking care of peo-
ple.
One way he said he can take
care of college students is with
a bill that would require honest
accounting. He said the national
debt has gone up $2.8 trillion since
President Bush has been in office
and once the baby boomers retire
the Y generation will be respon-
sible for paying the debt.
It is grossly unfair, he said.
Moore also referenced a bill
he voted against, the Deficit
Reduction Act, which cut federal
student aid programs by $12.5 bil-
lion. He said government expen-
ditures, namely the Department
of Defense and Medicare funding,
should not be at the expense of
college students and others with
low incomes.
Moore fielded questions from
some of the about 45 students in
attendance. The questions ranged
from the Iraq war to preserving
energy.
As for the war in Iraq, he said
he would like to see the President
appoint someone to privately enter
Iraq to discuss how the govern-
ment can take control of the nation
without U.S. military forces.
I think we saved Iraqi people
from Saddam, but we cant save
Iraqi people from themselves, he
said.
To answer a question about the
rising costs of gasoline, Moore ref-
erenced President Jimmy Carter.
He said in the 70s that Carter
addressed the same problem U.S.
citizens are facing now, high gas
prices.
Moore said that Carter had
proposed several energy-efficient
uses with renewable and alterna-
tive energy that did help lower gas
prices. But once they went down,
Moore said, people forgot how to
keep them down.
I fault every Democratic and
Republican candidate who hasnt
done what Carter said we needed
to do 30 years ago, he said.
Businessman Chuck Ahner
(R-Kansas) is running against
incumbent Moore for the 3rd
Congressional District in the Nov.
7 general election.

The University Daily Kansan emphasizes the First Amendment:
Less is more seems to be the
motto society has adopted. Sure,
this phrase is useful when applied to
practical situations in everyday life.
Such as, its definitely better to put
less wasabi on your sushi so that you
will have more taste buds. Or put-
ting on less perfume so more people
can breathe.
However, society has applied this
to the fashion industry. They say the
less you wear, the more appealing
you are. So, the less your bikini is,
the more men youll pick up. Men
ignore this concept as we can see
by the lack of hotties in Speedos.
Women, however, have whole-
heartedly adopted the less is more
phrase.
Now, there are many of us who
do cover our cleavage (sometimes
because were modest, sometimes
because were sick of dropping our
M&Ms down there and having to
fish them out) and who wear jeans
that cover all of our, to use a French
word of fashion, derrire.
We generally hate, to use a term
coined by the scientific community,
sluts, or sluticus noclothesonmy-
bodyus. The sluts would say were
just bitter and jealous. This is only
partly true. Were bitter and jeal-
ous but we enjoy our food, espe-
cially our chocolate, and words
like sugar-free and Atkins Diet
give us nightmares. We hate diet-
ing freaks for inventing No-Taste
ranch dressing.
In all honesty, though, we dont
want to go blind because the wind
exposes your booty or feel violently
ill because your tube top decides
to pull a Janet Jackson. Men dont
mind, especially ex-boy band mem-
bers, but there are some who do.
Granted, a lot of these men are gay,
but not all of them. And besides, we
should listen to the gay men when
they talk about fashion.
But, think about it for a second.
If you show it all off now, theres no
mystery left. Youll slink into the
bedroom all seductive and sexy and
your guy will be like, Bare there,
sheen that. There wont be that ele-
ment of anticipation for the guy to
wonder whats behind Bra #1.
I know people should be free
to express themselves. However,
theres a difference between express-
ing yourself and exploiting yourself.
Please do not confuse everyday life
with Playboy auditions.
Sometimes, people make them-
selves look just plain ugly. Such as,
if you are a size 12, you SHOULD
NOT wear gravity-defying low-
rise jeans with an extra small built-
in support (although Ive seen
socks with more support) tank top.
Those are not the kind of rolling
hills that people want to see. Please
have consideration for the public
(OK, so Princess Jasmine in Disney
movies bares her midriff, but that
is because she is a Disney character
with a perfect size 2 waist).
Instead of asking, Does this
shirt make me look fat? ask your-
self, Does this shirt show off too
much of my fat?
Apparently though, skin is in and
decency is out the door. Soon you
wont have to worry what to wear
the next day because people simply
wont be wearing clothes. Reality
shows like What Not To Wear will
have a whole new meaning. Even
feet are starting to become exposed.
Flip-flops are the latest fashion.
With people buying so many flip-
flops, no wonder they dont have
any money left to afford clothes.
Or perhaps some girls just havent
been able to afford clothes since
they were five and thats why their
clothes look so little.
Whatever their excuse is, reach
out to the undressed skank next
to you and buy her a sweatshirt.
Itll help protect her midriff thats
still recovering from the frostbite it
acquired last December.
Although I wish I could make
everyone follow a dress code, I
realize that this is not possible. I
wouldnt mind this skanky trend so
much if women didnt get the short
end of the skirt, I mean, stick. If
the media exemplified floozy men,
perhaps I could get my daily dose of
eye candy and not be so bitter.
Although, men wear such
loose pants its causing a dramatic
increase in the number of pants
spontaneously falling off butts,
I mean, derrires. You no longer
need to pull a guys pants down to
embarrass him; his pants can do the
work themselves. It is from the two
inches of ugly boxers sticking above
a guys pants that are holding onto
a cliff with one hand, that we can
tell that straight men will never get
fashion.
Until society figures out its
values, women figure out whats
tasteful, or more men start wear-
ing Speedos, the fashion industry
is doomed. As for me, Ill just con-
tinue sitting here eating my M&Ms
and later discover, So thats where
that blue one went!

While I enjoyed the Kansans
editorial last week about North
Lawrence changing its name to
Jericho as a publicity stunt, I want
to point out that Kansas is the home
of a very famous person: Superman.
The show Smallville depicts
the fictional Kansas town before
a large national audience. I also
find it interesting how Smallville is
portrayed in the Superman comic
books.
Ive always theorized that
Smallville is in Southeast Kansas for
the simple reason that the school is
much larger than anything in west-
ern Kansas except Dodge City. Plus,
Smallville has things like rivers and
trees, which we dont really have in
western Kansas.
Ive found that people in other
countries associate Superman with
Kansas more than The Wizard
of Oz. I visited France for a
week a couple of years ago and a
Frenchman asked me where I was
from. When I told him Kansas he
asked if I lived in Smallville, where
Superman was from. I laughed and
told him I was glad he didnt ask,
Wheres Toto? He had no idea
what The Wizard of Oz was.
So yes, there are more positive
things Kansas is associated with
than the BTK killer, our lack of evo-
lution, fictional nuclear blasts and
The Wizard of Oz.
Hoyt is a Dodge City senior in

You asked students to share their
memories of where they were on
September 11th, but there is no
mention of the one-year anniver-
sary of Hurricane Katrina in todays
UDK.
There are students at KU who
were affected by Katrina, and the
destruction she left in her wake.
Being a Mississippi native, I can tell
you exactly where I was a year ago
today.
I was in the Union on the third
floor watching a Category 5 mon-
ster scream toward my family
and friends, and my former home
Biloxi. In the year since then, I have
not been able to bring myself to go
home and see firsthand what has
happened there.
I know that there are other stu-
dents here who are from Mississippi
and Louisiana who probably would
have appreciated a story about what
has and has not been taken care of
on the Gulf Coast, and I hope that
those who werent directly affected
by Katrina still care about those
who are still in need.

Walk down Wescoe Beach and
you will likely see one thing in
common among students: Many
have a cell phone glued to their
ear.
The cell phone has become the
primary source of communica-
tion for college students, dimin-
ishing the use of landline phones.
Students living in residence halls
continue to pay for landline
phones, which are seldom used.
It may be time to axe landline
phones, as universities across the
country are doing.
Diana Robertson, interim
director of student housing,
said there are currently discus-
sions between the Department
of Student Housing and the
Student Housing Advisory
Board concerning the issue. She
said discussions would continue
through the fall semester, which
could lead to a solution.
Its a likely direction we will
move in, Robertson said. It
kind of makes sense to most
students.
But making emergency calls
is a concern. She said placing a
call to 911 on a cell phone doesnt
always provide an exact loca-
tion, which creates a problem for
emergency officials.
Safety and security are pri-
orities and the Department of
Student Housing wants to make
sure it doesnt jeopardize resi-
dents.
Robertson said a change
would only come after discus-
sions among the KU Public Safety
Office, residents and University
officials to evaluate the pros and
cons.
More and more schools are
recognizing the overwhelm-
ing popularity of cell phones.
The University of Cincinnati
now offers incoming freshmen
a new cell phone to serve as
their primary means of contact.
Morrisville State College in New
York has made the transition
from landline to wireless, and
more schools are considering the
switch.
Current renovations to
Hashinger Hall included land-
line phones, but the idea of mak-
ing the move to a completely
wireless hall seems reasonable.
For residents, this would mean
eliminating the fee for seldom-
used landline phones.
The University could save
money as well. American
University eliminated landline
phones in residence halls in 2005.
The move saved the university $1
million.
With our campus already
equipped with wireless Internet
access, its time we look at relying
on cell phones.

A group of three recent college gradu-
ates have pledged a year of their lives
to help establish the Center for Service
Learning and to reach out to the University
community.
Corinne Fetter and Meghan Walsh,
2006 University of Kansas graduates,
and Cara Burnidge, 2006 Washburn
University graduate, signed up with
AmeriCorps VISTA for a year of service
that began this summer. Volunteers work
in areas ranging from homeless shelters
to university campuses. The nationwide
organization places volunteers in pro-
grams that suit their interests in an effort
to eradicate poverty and educate the
community about civic engagement and
volunteer work.
The three chose to serve their year at
the KU Center for Service Learning, which
incorporates service learning into class-
rooms.
During the year, they will plan programs
to contribute to service learning on cam-
pus. Service learning programs at KU allow
students to earn classroom credit while
participating in organized service activities.
Students who participate can receive spe-
cial credit on their official transcripts.
Right now were working to recruit
students for certification in service learn-
ing, Fetter said. It is important to tie your
learning in the classroom with what you
learn in community.
Fetter said visiting classrooms would
allow volunteers to help interested stu-
dents develop professional skills and learn
about social issues.
The three volunteers will be contacting
student groups and residence halls and
conducting class visits to raise awareness
and promote service learning. They will
also serve as links to faculty members who
would like to incorporate more service
learning and volunteer work into their
courses. Off campus, the three will work
with community agencies to serve and
address their needs.
Fetter, Burnidge and Walsh all said they
chose to serve their year at the University
because they were interested in service-
oriented careers and wanted to take a year
off before grad school but still contribute
in a campus atmosphere.
The three volunteers will be able to
better educate the community about pov-
erty because they are living on a limited
income. The AmeriCorps VISTA program
provides a stipend for the volunteers that
matches the poverty level of the com-
munities where they serve. Volunteers
cant hold outside jobs, so they must learn
firsthand what life is like for someone liv-
ing in poverty.
I think that it will definitely make me
more humble in terms of living on limited
income, Fetter said.
Andi Witczak, interim director of the
center for service learning, said the vol-
unteers meager incomes and hands-on
experience will put them into the shoes of
a community in need so that they can bet-
ter express the urgency of those problems
to the student population.
They will be faced with challenges for
the next year that some are forced to deal
with on a daily and lasting basis, Witczak
said. They are also learning how a col-
laborative approach between community-
based organizations and the university can
help to solve many problems.
Witczak said the AmeriCorps volun-
teers would also complete an indepen-
dent service learning project that would
be tied to their career goals. They are
also required to complete two team-based
activities, including organizing a national
service day and another event to strength-
en the ties between KU and the Lawrence
community.
Burnidge said the experience so far had
allowed her to see the world differently
than she did as an undergraduate and
forced her to work hard to accomplish the
Centers goals.
Ive been here a week and weve already
made great progress, Burnidge said. I
think we are very ambitious for where we
want to be by the end of the year.

The NCAA has done it again.
The NC-double-a-holes, the
Sopranos-like organization that runs
college athletics with an iron fist,
denied former KU defensive line-
man Eric Butler an extra year of
eligibility earlier this summer and
has also denied Butlers subsequent
appeals.
So why does Butler need the
extra year of eligibility? His eligi-
bility clock started in 2001 when
he enrolled at DeVry University in
Kansas City, Mo.
According to NCAA guidelines,
an athlete has five years to play four
seasons. Butlers eligibility ran out
last year despite only playing foot-
ball for two seasons: last year with
Kansas and in 2003 for the NAIA
Avila Eagles out of Kansas City, Mo.
But theres a reason a valuable,
legitimate, manly reason Butler
was unable to play any football in
2001: he had to take care of his new-
born daughter.
Under Title IX, the NCAA allows
a one-year extension of the five-
year rule if a female athlete becomes
pregnant. Butler has argued that he
should be entitled to paternity leave,
thus granting him a one-year exten-
sion. Hes filed a lawsuit stating that
the rule is unfair because it only
applies to females.
Now, before I get myself into any
trouble with feminists or moth-
ers out there, let me say this: there
should probably be an interpretation
in Butlers case, because, lets face it,
we men have no argument when it
comes to pregnancy.
We helped, but the baby-carrying
experience is exclusively a womans,
and all I can say to that is, God bless
ya, ladies.
But as far as taking care of the
baby after birth, well, thats a different
story. A story I can attest to because
I have been there and done that. See,
I have a little girl myself, and as Eric
Butler can certainly relate to, raising
a newborn child, taking classes and
playing college football is downright
exhausting.
Because heres the deal, newborns
dont do homework, they dont go to
class, and they really dont care much
about football. My daughter was two
days old for Super Bowl XXXVII
between the Bucs and Raiders in
2003, and while I tried to get her
excited about the biggest game in
sports, she was more excited about
the whole, Hey, Im getting used
to being out of the womb, let me
scream a little bit. Im just glad the
game wasnt close.
And if not caring about football
isnt bad enough, theres the sleep, or
not getting any sleep, factor. College
kids reading this are saying, So
what? I pull all-nighters all the time.
But you do it at your convenience.
Newborns dont know about conve-
nience. Convenience to them is their
mothers nipple or a rubber nipple in
their mouth. And a dry diaper.
Newborns are hard work. Raising
a child is hard work. Being a parent
and trying to balance, maintain and
prepare for a career to support that
child? Incredibly difficult, but not
impossible. Plus, there is nothing

defeating the Kangaroos in three
games, 30-21, 30-18 and 30-16.
Everybody on the team contrib-
uted to the victory, and five players
had nine kills or more.
Thats always a fun part. When
everybody gets their chance and
everybody does well, Hill said. Its
nice to share a win with every-
body.
Coach Ray Bechard said the team
played well overall, but serving was
one area the Jayhawks needed to
improve.
The less we talk about serving
right now, like free throw shooting,
the better, he said.
Kansas committed 17 serving
errors compared to UMKCs six.
It just gets contagious, when
youre serving well and when youre
not serving very well, Bechard
said.
Bechard said serving is the area
that has the most pressure when the
team is playing at home.
Despite the added pressure on
serving, Brittany Williams, fresh-
man middle blocker, said she liked
the home atmosphere and was able
to feed off of it.
In game one, Kansas got off
to a 3-0 lead and stopped any
momentum UMKC tried to build.
The Kangaroos were held to a
-.125 attacking percentage, while
Williams led the Kansas attack with
five kills in the first match.
The Jayhawks punished the
Kangaroos in game two, downing
them 30-18. Brown led the team
with five kills, followed by Savannah
Noyes four. Kansas attack percent-
age also jumped from .343 in game
one to .469.
Fans got a little bit of entertain-
ment when they were able to serve
like the Hawks between games two
and three.
KU basketball player Julian
Wright tried serving, but will prob-
ably be keeping his position on the
mens basketball team.
To finish off UMKC, Kansas got
off to a hot start in game three, and
won 30-16.
Bechard said game three was the
smoothest game for the Jayhawks
as their serving improved signifi-
cantly, committing only two of their
17 errors in the final match.
Not only did the speaker get the
team ready for the game yesterday,
but for the rest of the season.
She got us fired up to play,
Emily Brown, junior right side
hitter/setter, said. Everybody got
together today and was like, lets
prove this to ourselves; lets prove it
to everybody that were going to be
a force this year.
Next up for the Jayhawks is the
Temple Classic. The team plays
Temple on Friday, then has a dou-
bleheader with Maine and Rutgers
on Saturday.

couNtDowN to KiCKoff
By ClAudiA AltErmAn
Michael Jensen dropped out of
college, but he didnt need a college
degree to land his job.
Jensen, a 23-year-old from Los
Angeles, is a professional poker
player.
The former KU student landed
in the money in the Texas Hold Em
event at pokers biggest series: the
World Series of Poker.
There are multiple ways to qualify
for the World Series of Poker, which
has a $10,000 buy-in, or entry fee.
Jensen qualified for the tournament
through an online poker Web sites
monthly tournament. He won, and
the site paid his $10,000 buy-in to
the famous tournament.
Jensen first began playing
poker at the age of 6, after watch-
ing family members. At age 15,
his grandfather taught him how to
play Texas Hold Em. His career in
poker then launched as he entered
college at St. Marys in northern
California in 2001, and continued
at the University of Kansas, where
he transferred in 2003.
A family friend bought me a
clay chip set, and I began to arrange
home games, Jensen said. That
was how I met people in college.
By running the games, he earned
part of his income, and ultimately
decided that it would be more ben-
eficial to play poker full-time than
attend school. Jensen remains at
his residence in Lawrence, but in
2005 he left school behind to solely
pursue his career in poker.
I primarily play online, and this
is where I get the majority of my
income. I have an overseas check-
ing account that wires money over
and then backtracks to take it out.
I play 20 hours a week on average,
which amounts to about an average
of 12,000 hands, he said.
Sometimes he opts to travel to
Las Vegas or Los Angeles to play. He
feels more confident playing online,
however.
Playing online you can play a lot
more hands in a shorter time frame,
so if youre a winning player, you
can essentially make more money
and have a higher hourly wage given
the number of hands you can play,
he said.
Of the 8,773 players in the World
Series of Poker this summer, a sig-
nificant number of them qualified
online. The event began July 28,
with the final table ending Aug. 10.
The competitors were split into
four starting days, beginning July
28. Jensen ended his starting day,
July 30, up $63,000, which put him
in the top percentage of players
remaining in the field.
The first day was especially
intimidating and busy. They didnt
allow any spectators the first 6 hours
or so, but media was coming around
taking pictures of everyone, Jensen
said of the atmosphere. Jennifer
Tilly (2005 Womens World Series
of Poker Champion) was sitting two
seats to my right at my table. She

While Mark Mangino was out
recruiting players across the coun-
try, nearly every future Jayhawk
told him the same thing: we want
to play early.
It appears theyll get that chance
Saturday night.
The Kansas coach said there
were at least 14 freshmen or red-
shirt-freshmen players on the
first or second-team roster as of
Monday. Mangino said the deci-
sion to play that many younger
players was not made because he
needed a player to fill a spot.
Were not just grasping at
straws here, Mangino said
Tuesday at his first weekly press
conference of the season. Were
putting kids on the field that are
probably going to be on the field
at KU for four seasons.
Besides redshirt-freshman
Kerry Meier, who will start at
quarterback, it appears newcom-
ers will be especially prevalent in
the defensive secondary and at

correction
an article in tuesdays the uni-
versity daily Kansan contained
an error. the article incorrectly
attributed the remark, In a
months time, the strength of
the sooners has shifted from
ofense to defense. the re-
mark was made by the storys
author, shawn shroyer.
Barely into our appetizer at a res-
taurant on The Country Club Plaza,
the rain delay ended on the baseball
game being shown in the dining
area.
Play resumed and I found it
impossible to tear myself away from
the game. My date was incredible,
and patient, but he did not share my
obsession with the fifth and final
game of the series.
This I simply did not understand.
He wanted to eat and talk, then
talk and eat. That, of course, is nice,
but can it wait? The game is on.
I finally gave in and settled for
highlights after dinner and during
the ride home. It wasnt as if my date
wasnt interested in sports. Hes a
state champion wrestler, for crying
out loud. His argument was that
romantic dinners and watching a
game that Id potentially get far too
emotional about just dont mix.
When he reminded me of this, I
couldnt help but laugh. Im one of
those people. Yes, the old-man fig-
ure who gets smacked with his wifes
purse when he ruins their one eve-
ning a month out together by watch-
ing Monday Night Football through
the entree.
Why are we like this? Obviously
we live in a sports-driven society.
One teams success can pull an entire
city together instantly, and theres
the answer.
According to Lawrence.com, there
are 230 restaurants in the Lawrence
area and more than three-fourths
of them house televisions dedicated
to sports.
So whether Im in the mood for
fast food, such as Back Yard Burgers,
or a quiet dinner for two at Lawrences
finest, like Paisanos Ristorante or
Tellers, I have at least one TV to sat-
isfy my sports-watching fix.
On top of that, there are restau-
rants designed solely for watching
sports. Buffalo Wild Wings, Molly
McGees, J.B. Stouts and even 75th
Street Brewery have more than 20
TVs each. For what?
Watching games, thats what.
Remember that the next time
youre scolded by your girlfriend,
or boyfriend, for averting your eyes
from her long, romantic gaze to
catch the score on the TV above her
head.
That restaurant was built for
it. Besides, the television cant be
ignored either.

Last week you were enlightened
with The Five Commandments
of Fantasy Football. Well, Moses
called and informed me that there
are actually 10 commandments. So,
here are commandments six through
10. Next week, you will be assaulted
by hard core, in-depth analysis of
who to add, drop or trade. If you
missed the first five commandments
last week, I cant exactly remember
what they were, but I think it went
something like this:
1) Thou shalt not draft J.P.
Losman
2) Thou shalt not draft J.P.
Losman
3) Thou shalt not draft J.P.
Losman
4) Thou shalt not draft J.P.
Losman
5) Thou shalt not draft J.P.
Losman
Now that youre caught up to
speed, here are the final five:
6) Thou shalt not draft multiple
players from the same team. Treat
your players like stocks and diversi-
fy. Many amateurs love to draft QB/
WR combos in pairs (i.e. having both
Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress)
because on any touchdown pass
to Burress, theyd receive double
points for the TD pass and catch.
However, that manager would be
screwed on week four (Giants bye
week) and would also be cooked
if Tom Coughlins offense reverts
back to the way it was his last
couple years in Jacksonville.
7) Thou shalt not draft a Denver
running back. I know youre think-
ing, Wait, whats he talking about?
Tatum Bell and Mike Bell have both
looked good in the preseason and
with Mike Shanahans system, you
could plug in a girl scout at tailback
and she could still rush for 1,300
yards. And youd be right.
However, Mike Shanahan will rip
your heart out. Its possible hell
switch starting running backs 36
times this year. A confused Pete
Coors might start in the backfield
at some point. I drafted Tatum Bell
last year, and actually, Im not ready
to talk about it yet.
8) Thou shalt scour the waiver
wire. If, while eating Gumbys and
watching football on a Sunday after-
noon, you see Shaun Alexander get
his arm ripped off by Detroits Ernie
Sims in week one, and you arent
first in line to pick up Maurice Morris
(his backup), you dont deserve to
win your league. Additionally, if
you own Alexander, you should
handcuff Morris to him on draft
day to soften the blow to your team
in case the arm removal scenario
comes to fruition.
9) Thou shalt select players
from your favorite team. Many
experts will tell you to draft with-
out emotion, think with your
head, not your heart, and so on.
The truth of the matter is, most
fantasy leagues require an invest-
ment of somewhere between $5
and $20. Not exactly anything
worth being deadly serious about.
So, if you own the number one
pick in your draft and you cant
decide between Shaun Alexander
and Larry Johnson and youre a
Chiefs fan, just go ahead and take
LJ. It will make Chiefs games that
much more fun to watch when you
see him plow through opposing
defenses the way Rosie ODonnell
plows through a buffet-line.
10) Thou shalt not be the first
one to select a defense. Every year,
every draft, somebody reaches and
drafts Chicago, Carolina, Baltimore,
or Pittsburghs defense in the first
five rounds. Let me explain this
clearly: there is NO defense that
that is worth taking in the first
eight rounds.
Just wait it out, and while your
buddies gobble up the defenses,
you can stock up on quality mid-
round backs and receivers like
Laurence Maroney and Reggie
Brown. If no good defenses are left
in the later rounds, you can always
go with the trusty defensive rou-
lette. This is where you search the
waiver wire each week for a team
that plays against offensively chal-
lenged teams like Houston, San
Francisco, or Buffalo.

NEW YORK Amelie
Mauresmo wiped raindrops from
her face and Lleyton Hewitt nearly
skiddedd into a split as bad weather
played havoc with the U.S. Open on
a stop-and-go Tuesday.
More than 50 matches were post-
poned. Showers and a shaky fore-
cast pushed back a remembrance of
Hurricane Katrina on the one-year
anniversary to Wednesday.
The start of play was delayed 3
1/2 hours by rain, giving sleepy-
eyed fans extra time to recover after
watching Andre Agassi finish off his
first-round win at 12:30 a.m. EDT.
Light but persistent rain forced
two suspensions and left the courts
empty by late afternoon.
No matches came close to com-
pletion. The nine that were in prog-
ress were to be picked up at the
point they were stopped.
It can be tough when youre
waiting around all day, said 13th-
seeded Mary Pierce, still waiting
to begin her match against Elena
Vesnina of Russia. Sometimes you
have to be ready in 20 minutes after
youve been waiting for hours.
The top-seeded Mauresmo won
her opening set against unheralded
Kristina Barrois 6-1, but was trail-
ing 2-5 in the second when play was
halted for a second time.
Mauresmo was hoping to add
a third Grand Slam title this year,
having won the Australian Open
and Wimbledon. Barrois was mak-
ing her U.S. Open debut, and had
said her goal was to move into the
top 100.
Only a few thousand fans were
in Arthur Ashe Stadium when that
match began. Those sitting in the
upper deck were allowed to move
down to the lower, pricey seats.
That didnt stop them from booing,
however, when play was stopped.
Hewitt, the 2001 U.S. Open
champion, and Albert Montanes
were tied at 5 in the first set when
it was suspended. That came right
after Hewitts right foot slid on the
slippery baseline and he almost
when into a split.
The U.S. Opens official Media
Operations Guide said a session
must be called by 5 p.m. if play does
not start. Once it begins, its up to
tournament officials.
The cutoff for the night session
was 9:45 p.m. The last time an
entire session was called off at the
Open was 2004.
With so many matches running
behind, the practice courts were
jammed. Often, four players shared
the same surface, simultaneously
keeping two balls in play by hitting
to the opposite corners.
Theres not much you can do,
and theres not a lot of places you
can go, Pierce said. I just try to
stay in the locker room and make
sure that I drink, that I eat, rest, take
naps, read.
Its good training for your
patience, she said.

Cornhuskers poised for comeback
By shawn shroyer
The Nebraska Cornhuskers say
theyre back. It wont take long to
find out if theyre right.
On Sept. 16, the Huskers will
travel to Los Angeles to take on
last years BCS runner-up, Southern
California.
Five weeks later, Nebraska will
face the team USC fell to in the
national title game Texas.
But if any Nebraska team in
recent years is prepared to run this
gauntlet, its this one. Of the 15 start-
ers the Cornhuskers return from
last season, nine are seniors and
eight return on offense. That will
prove invaluable to a team trying
to at last prosper in coach Bill
Callahans west coast offense.
I think experience is something
we didnt have a whole lot of last
year, senior quarterback Zac Taylor
said. This year, everybodys a lot
more comfortable with each other,
a lot more comfortable in the sys-
tem. We know what to expect and
weve been through all the ups and
downs.
The 90s were full of ups for
Nebraska as they trounced oppo-
nents regularly, never winning less
than nine games. By those standards,
the Cornhuskers have been down
recently, failing to reach nine wins
three of the past four seasons.
This season, the defense looks set
to reclaim its daunting Blackshirt
persona and the offense appears
ready to unleash an aerial assault
thats been in the works since
Callahan arrived in 2004.
In 2005, Taylor started all 12
games for Nebraska, completing 237
of 430 passes for 2,653 yards and 19
touchdowns. However, he had -41
net rushing yards.
As a result, Callahan knows
Nebraska wont be able to beat the
likes of USC the way Texas did last
season with Vince Young.
Zac is a pro-style quarterback,
Callahan said. We dont ask him
to get out there and run the speed
option on the edge.
Instead, the Huskers will find
speed in the backfield with sopho-
more running back Marlon Lucky.
As a true freshman last season,
Lucky played in every game, mainly
returning kicks.
If Nebraska chooses to go with
a thunder and lightning combo
in the backfield, 230-pound sopho-
more Cody Glenn will bring the
thunder. As a true freshman last
season, Glenn rushed for 131 yards
and four touchdowns.
At receiver, Nebraska returns its
top two from last season in sopho-
more Nate Swift and junior Terrence
Nunn. The two combined for more
than 1,000 yards last season, and
scored seven touchdowns apiece.
Also rejoining the mix will be
senior tight end Matt Herian, who
missed all of last season with a leg
injury.
Seniors Greg Austin, guard,
and Kurt Mann, center, are the
Cornhuskers only returning starters
on the line.
On defense, the Blackshirts will
feature two preseason All-Big 12
selections and two underrated cor-
nerbacks in the secondary.
On the line, senior defensive end
Adam Carriker has been dubbed a
preseason All-American in addition
to his all-conference honors. Last
season Carriker recorded 17 tackles
for a loss and 9.5 sacks. Senior defen-
sive end Jay Moore is Nebraskas
other returning starter on the line.
At linebacker, the Huskers return
all three linebackers they had start-
ing early last season in senior Stewart
Bradley and juniors Corey McKeon
and Bo Ruud.
McKeon led the team in tackles
last season with 98 and was second
on the team with seven sacks, which
helped him earn all-conference hon-
ors this preseason. Ruud was third
on the team with 80 tackles last
season, while Bradley missed the last
seven games last season because of a
knee injury.
Nebraska fans can also expect big
things from senior Zackary Bowman
and junior Cortney Grixby, who are
returning to the starting lineup at
cornerback.
The two havent received much
preseason attention, but they did
combine for three interceptions
and 24 pass breakups last season.
Bowman said their friendship off
the field has helped them perform
on the field and by the end of the
season, he is confident they will get
the attention they deserve.
In practice were always pushing
each other whos going to get the
first interception or whos going to
make the first tackle, Bowman said.
I dont see anybody out there better
than us.
Senior Andrew Shanle and junior
Tierre Green are the leading candi-
dates to fill the free safety and strong
safety spots, respectively.
With so much the same on
Nebraskas roster, there will be
one difference. Bowman said the
Cornhuskers would go into games
this season with a mindset that they
will win.
That mentality will be essential
for a team that will face last seasons
title contenders.
Thats just part of going back
up to the top. Weve been kind of
falling down, but now were moving
our way back on up, Bowman said.
To prove to people that were back
on top, weve got to play the best
teams.

more magical in this world than
witnessing the birth of your first
child, football be damned.
I give the utmost props to Eric
Butler for making a wonderful
decision. To give up football tem-
porarily to care for his child, thats
a beautiful thing. Ive seen and
know plenty of people who have
given up their parental duties for
much less than a game.
One of the NCAAs core values
is integrity, and its being hypo-
critical by not showing any with
Eric Butlers ruling.
So regardless of whether Eric
Butler ever plays college football
again, he has something that the
game can never duplicate: the
pride and joy of being a father.

was definitely one of the spec-
tacles in the room. Every pho-
tographer and video crew in the
room came by at least once to snap
shots, so it was a little aggravating
and distracting, but you have to
put up with it.
Jensen resumed action Aug.
2, and survived to the third day
of play. On that day, he lost the
biggest pot of the day after an
opponent went all-in with his
chips, and Jensen called it with
a straight.
What would have been a fourth
place finish on the third day
turned into 65th place.
The fourth day of play, there
was a $200,000 average, and
Jensen was in a bad spot with only
$100,000.
When three opponents called a
hand, Jensen decided he was safe
to throw in all of his chips, the first
time he had done so the entire
tournament.
He went all-in before the flop
cards, hoping to intimidate the
other players to fold to win their
blinds and antes. That didnt hap-
pen, and an opponent flopped an
ace, costing Jensen the hand and
knocking him out of the tourna-
ment one hour into the fourth
day.
Of the more than 8,000
entrants, the top 873 players end
in the money, and Jensen fin-
ished 417th, taking home $30,514.
The 2006 World Series of Poker
Champion was Jamie Gold, 37, of
Paramus, N.J., who won the $12
million top prize.
Jensen credits his success in
poker to his understanding of
human tendencies.
You really have to understand
people, whether youre playing
live, at a casino or online, he
said. I know my tendencies as a
human being, so it helps me better
understand and interpret others
tendencies. I think just under-
standing people and relating with
other people is the best way to
get inside someone. Once you get
inside of someone and you know
what theyre thinking, you can
manipulate them to basically take
their money or to beat them.

tion, injuries and suspension, several
starting spots for Saturdays season
opener against Northwestern State
are up for grabs.
With senior safety Jerome Kemp
questionable for Saturdays game
against Northwestern State, redshirt-
freshman safety Darrell Stuckey out
with an undisclosed injury and
sophomore cornerback Aqib Talib
reportedly suspended for at least
the first game, Mangino anticipates
using several young players in the
secondary in the interim.
Among players in the battle for
those starting spots are freshmen
Olaitan Oguntodu and Anthony
Webb. Mangino said he has been
impressed with what he has seen
from Webb in practice and that he
would see some time against the
Demons.
He has instincts that you need
out of a corner that he brings as a
true freshman that are unusual for a
true freshman, Mangino said.
Young players will also see sig-
nificant minutes at wide receiver.
Two possible starters sophomores
Dexton Fields and Marcus Herford
made a combined eight catches
last season.
Mangino said it would be difficult
to identify any set starters at wide
receiver because the offense used
a different number of receivers for
various plays. Based on the number
of repetitions with Meier and the
first-team offense, Mangino said that
seniors Brian Murph and Dominic
Roux, along with Fields and Herford,
would be among the favorites for
starting positions.
Throughout the preseason
Mangino has called Fields the most
improved player in the program. He
credits Fields improvement to hard
work during the offseason and fall
practices.
Hes really getting a good feel for
what he sees in front of him, how to
find the open area, Mangino said.
He understands the various cover-
ages and how people are playing
him, much more now than he did
in the past.
As a redshirt freshman last season,
Fields made only one catch, a touch-
down against Iowa State that sent the
game into overtime. Following last
season, Fields said he went to work
improving his route running and
play knowledge. He said compet-
ing for a starting spot with several
other receivers has made him work
harder in practice to get the coaches
attention.
Every day, with talented receiv-
ers like Marcus Herford, Dominic
and Marcus Henry, you have to
bring your A game to every prac-
tice, Fields said. You cant take
plays off, because theyre out there
working hard too.

FOOTBALL NOTES
Special teams set:
Based on the latest depth chart,
Mangino announced preliminary
punt and kickoff returners. Herford
and freshman Jake Sharp will split
duties returning kickoffs. Murph,
fellow senior Jonathan Lamb and
sophomore Aqib Talib will share
punt return duties.
Allen available:
Despite previous reports, Mangino
announced that senior defensive end
Rodney Allen will be available to
play in Saturdays game. It had previ-
ously been reported by the Lawrence
Journal-World that Allen would
miss the Northwestern State game
because of a knee injury. Mangino
issued a no comment when asked
whether Talib would play against
Northwestern State.
Scholarships given:
Mangino announced that former
walk-ons, sophomore defensive end
John Larson and junior wide receiv-
er Jeff Foster, have both received
scholarships. Since the 2002 season,
14 walk-on players have received
scholarships from Mangino.

Linsey Morningstar made her
home debut as a Jayhawk, although
hers was a few years in the making.
After a standout career at Free
State High School, Morningstar
signed with Temple and played her
first three seasons there. Morningstar,
however, chose to transfer to Kansas
for her senior season. Morningstar
played sparingly in the game, but
enjoyed the atmosphere of it.
It was great. The band was play-
ing, the atmosphere, the crowd.
I was really excited to play, said
Morningstar, setter/defensive spe-
cialist and Lawrence native.
Kansas won easily, sweeping the
contest 3-0 by scores of 30-21, 30-
18, 30-16.
She did not play in the first match,
but she entered the game late in the
second. Morningstar soon drilled a
jump serve, and Kansas was in posi-
tion for match-point. Helping Kansas
win was something Morningstar said
she never thought about until her
last season at Temple.
I just thought I needed some-
thing new, Morningstar said. I
thought I needed to come home.
And her coaches and teammates
have welcomed her back with open
arms, which has helped make her
adjustment very smooth.
I played with these girls on club
teams before, Morningstar said.
And Coach Bechard is a family
friend.
Ironically, Morningstar will
be seeing friends from her previ-
ous school when the Jayhawks
travel to Temple for this weekends
Temple Classic. The Jayhawks will
play Temple, Maine and Rutgers.
Morningstar said she was looking
forward to playing her former team.
I didnt leave on bad terms there,
Morningstar said. Im really excited
to see all the players and my friends
up there.
Morningstar also thought
she could be a good asset against
Temple.
Playing with them, I know how
that team is. I know their tenden-
cies. So I think were gonna have
an advantage, Morningstar said. It
should be a fun weekend.

ST. LOUIS Ryan Fitzpatrick
and Dave Ragone are down to their
last opportunity to make a favorable
impression in the battle for the No.
3 quarterback job for the St. Louis
Rams.
The Rams (1-2) travel to Miami
(1-2) Thursday for the final pre-
season game for both teams.
Coach Scott Linehan on Tuesday
was still deciding if starting quar-
terback Marc Bulger or backup Gus
Frerotte would play at all against the
Dolphins. Other starters are expected
to see limited duty, or none at all.
So the game will be largely to
decide which backups earn roster
spots. The Rams must trim 22 play-
ers to get down to the NFL regular-
season limit of 53 by Saturday.
Our No. 3 quarterback certainly
will be getting a lot of attention and
it should because its been a heck of
a battle, Linehan said. Both will
play a very significant amount in this
game. Well split it down the middle
pretty much.
Neither played in Saturdays 16-12
loss in Kansas City. Statistically, the
two almost are in a dead heat.
In the preseason opener at home
against Indianapolis, Fitzpatrick was
8-for-11 for 51 yards while Ragone
was 7-for-11 for 80 yards, though
with an interception that cost the
Rams a score.
In a home loss to Houston the
following week, Fitzpatrick was 5-
for-10 for 59 yards while Ragone was
9-for-11 for 76 yards.
Fitzpatrick won the No. 3 job last
year as a rookie seventh-round draft
choice from Harvard. After both
Bulger and Jamie Martin went down
with injuries, Fitzpatrick was named
NFC offensive player of the week
after leading the Rams past Houston
on Nov. 27. But he lost his next three
starts.
Ragone was acquired this summer
from Cincinnati for a 2007 seventh-
round draft pick. Both know the
importance of this weeks game.
You cant go out there and say,
OK, Ive got to throw a deep ball on
this one to try to show off my arm
and throw a touchdown, Fitzpatrick
said. Ive just got to go out there and
play and move the ball down the field
and score touchdowns.
Ragone knows he has to give the
coaches a reason to award him the
job.
This is the last time to really
kind of give the coaches something
to look at, he said. Its your last
impression.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS Jim Edmonds was
out of the St. Louis Cardinals lineup
again on Tuesday, giving him one
start in two weeks while battling
post-concussion syndrome, and he
doesnt know when hell be ready to
play again.
Edmonds underwent a battery of
medical tests in mid-August after
leaving a game with blurred vision
and dizziness. He said another trip
to the doctor on Monday, a day off
for the team, provided no answers.
Theyve basically told me to do
what I can do until we figure out
whats going on, Edmonds said. All
I know is some days its good and
some days its terrible.
Edmonds sustained a concus-
sion when he crashed into a wall
in Chicago in an interleague game
against the White Sox in June while
trying to rob Joe Crede of a home
run. Since then hes had intermittent
bouts of dizziness, blurred vision
and disorientation.
In his only start since being
removed from a game on Aug. 15,
Edmonds struck out four times with
a walk on Friday. He also struck out
as a pinch hitter on Saturday, but has
not played since.
He was getting better and he said
Im ready to go, manager Tony La
Russa said. I just dont know how
ready he is.
Edmonds, an eight-time Gold
Glove center fielder, was batting .260
with 18 homers and 65 RBIs in 104
games. He said every day has been
an adventure.
Some days Ill wake up with
a nasty headache and some days
Ill wake up not feeling too bad,
Edmonds said. Depending on how
that day starts, is usually how it
ends.
Edmonds said hes not getting
pushed by management to play. The
Cardinals signed outfielder Preston
Wilson after the symptoms began to
intensify.
Im not getting any read on that,
he said. Im getting the doctor tell-
ing me to be careful.
The more activity he has, the
worse the symptoms usually become
for Edmonds. He said team doctors
have told him he just has to wait for
the symptoms to subside.
The doctor said theres no time-
table, Edmonds said. It could be a
week, it could be 10 days, it could be
two months.
The Cardinals are likely to go
a player short for a few more days
until rosters can be expanded on
Friday.
Juan Encarnacion has moved
from right field to center in most of
the games Edmonds has missed.
My guess is well find a way to
get through it, manager Tony La
Russa said. The key is can we get
him in there so hes performing and
contributing, being productive.
I had him playing tomorrow,
but I dont know if I can play him
tomorrow.

Actor gets restraining
order against fan
SANTA MONICA, Calif. Actor
Colin Farrell has obtained a three-
year restraining order against
a woman who confronted him
during a taping last month of The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
The preliminary injunction is-
sued in Los Angeles Superior Court
on Monday requires that Dessarae
Bradford, 31, stay at least 150 yards
away from Farrell, his 2-year-old
son and the toddlers mother,
model Kim Bordenave.
The order expires in August 2009.
Bradford confronted the Irish
actor on July 20 after walking onto
the Tonight set at the NBC stu-
dios in Burbank. She was a ticketed
member of the audience.
Farrell escorted Bradford of-
stage and NBC security personnel
took her of the premises.
In a statement to The Associated
Press, Bradford said she would ask
the court to set aside the restrain-
ing order.
Farrells publicist, Danica Smith,
could not immediately be reached
for comment.
