Just days ago, CJ Giles was given a
second chance and allowed back on
the mens basketball team. Now, that
second chance is gone.
Coach Bill Self dismissed Giles
from the team Tuesday after a for-
mer girlfriend accused Giles of bat-
tering her at his Jayhawker Towers
apartment Monday night. Campus
police cited him for misdemeanor
battery on Tuesday.
Giles was not taken into custody,
but was given a criminal notice to
appear at the Lawrence Municipal
Court. No court date has been set.
The decision to remove Giles
from the team was not based solely
on the alleged incident. Instead, Self
said Giles was kicked off the team for
poor judgment and a lack of respon-
sibility. Self said his decision was
made without having many details.
Im not judge and jury, and Im not
pretending to be. The incident is very
serious because you should never, ever
put yourself in that situation. If what is
said is true, then, obviously, he made a
bad wrong, Self said.
The situation was disappointing,
Self said, because Giles had people
who wanted to support him.
The thing thats more frustrating to
me with this is the fact that weve been
through enough with him, he was very
aware of his situation, he said. Youve
got to be able to
remove yourself
from that.
Giles was sus-
pended indefinite-
ly Oct. 17 because
of personal and
academic prob-
lems. He was rein-
stated Friday and
practiced for four days, but would not
have played until next semester.
Self said he was unsure if Giles
wished to transfer to continue play-
ing basketball at another school.
I care that he does well, he said.
But not at Kansas.
Players said they were told of
Giles removal during a light practice
Tuesday.
Its a shock to the whole University
to see what CJ is going through, soph-
omore guard Brandon Rush said.
According to the police report, the
woman, who is a 20-year-old KU stu-
dent, said she was asked to leave Giles
apartment around 10:30 p.m. Monday
after he received a phone call from his
girlfriend. When asked why she had
to leave, Giles told her that his girl-
friend was on the way to his room.
The woman told police that she
didnt know Giles had a girlfriend

2nd District taps Boyda
Democratic party
takes frm control
of U.S. House seats
By dREw dAviSon
TOPEKA Nancy Boyda gave
her victory speech Tuesday night
after the polls were clearly in her
favor, even though incumbent Jim
Ryun had not conceded then.
Whew, I tell you what, Boyda
said of the 2nd Congressional
District race. Winning is a lot more
fun.
Boydas sentiment resounded
across the Democratic party as more
than enough seats wrested from
Republicans guaranteed the partys
control of the U.S. House with at
least 226 seats. A majority is 218
seats.
The U.S. Senate race was dead-
locked 49 to 49 at the time of pub-
lication.
Boyda had 51 percent of the
votes and Ryun had 47 percent of
the votes in the Kansas race with 83
percent of the precincts reporting.
Independent Roger D. Tucker had 2
percent of the votes.
In 2004, Boyda lost by 15 percent-
age points to Ryun. Boyda received
limited financial support two years
ago because the race was not con-
sidered tight. The perspective has
changed the past two years, and
she raised $508,132 for this years
campaign.
Gov. Sebelius re-elected
marla Keown/Kansan

the Ramada Inn, waiting eagerly for the election results.

TOPEKA Kansas got a little
more blue Tuesday night.
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius joined
the riptide of Democrat wins in
Kansas and across the U.S. as she
rolled to an easy victory against
Republican challenger Jim Barnett.
It was only the second time
in Kansas history that a female
Democratic governor was re-elect-
ed to a second consecutive term.
The Associated Press declared
Sebelius the winner about 90 min-
utes after polls closed in Kansas.
Sebelius led Barnett, a state senator
from Emporia, 58 percent to 40
percent with 89 percent of the pre-
cincts reporting. Libertarian Carl
Kramer and independent Richard
Lee Ranzau each received about 1
percent of the votes.
Were very proud of the work
thats been done in the past four
years, Sebelius said. But weve got
a lot more to do.
Sebelius said she hoped to con-
tinue promoting Kansas as friendly
to biosciences.
Kansans dont get up every
morning thinking they live in a red
state, Sebelius said. Education is
a Kansas value, and quality health
care is a Kansas value.
Throughout the evening, speak-
ers praised Sebelius and Attorney
General-elect Paul Morrison for
helping push Democrats to a slate
of victories across Kansas.
Morrison defeats Kline
By ShAwn ShRoyER
TOPEKA If you cant beat
em, join em. That was the case
Tuesday night as Paul Morrison (D-
Lenexa) beat incumbent Phill Kline
(R-Topeka) in the race for Kansas
attorney general after switching his
party affiliation from Republican to
Democrat.
The switch paid off as Morrison
picked up 59 percent of the votes
cast while Kline had 41 percent
with about 80 percent of precincts
reporting.
Morrison had about 423,000
votes to Klines 293,000.
As attorney general, I pledge,
Morrison said, before he was inter-
rupted by applause.
All right, everybodys going to
have to shut up now, Morrison
said jokingly. As attorney general,
I pledge to you that your priorities
will be my priorities.
Morrison was confident that he
was the right selection. He said
even those who didnt support his
campaign would soon trust him,
and at one point referred to himself
as a real lawman.

Climbing Instructor
Justin Johnson, Wichita sopho-
more, likes to climb rocks, especially
rocks that are 2,000 feet high.
When you are 2,000 feet in the
air and there is nothing underneath
you to keep you from falling, its
exhilarating, Johnson said.
Johnson is a climbing instruc-
tor at the Student Recreation and
Fitness Center. He has had the job
for two years, and he enjoys it every
time he works.
I spot climbers and teach climb-
ing classes, Johnson said. We teach
you everything you need to know. I
still get a lot of free time to just climb
all over.
Johnson has climbed every inch
of the wall at the recreation center.
His favorite part of the wall is the
bouldering area.
It is fun because you are upside
down almost the entire time,
Johnson said.
Though his major is in engineer-
ing, climbing is a hobby that he
never wants to give up.
One day a buddy and I decided
to check out the climbing wall and it
stuck, Johnson said.
Johnson is also an officer in the
KU Rock Climbing Club. The club
takes four trips a semester all over
the country to climb. Johnson climbs
for recreation and for fun, but mostly
for the challenge.
I think my favorite part of climb-
ing is the ability to climb stuff that
isnt meant to be climbed, Johnson
said.

School uses kindergarten
tactics to fush out rebels
SHALLOTTE, N.C. Students
who need to use the restroom at
West Brunswick High School cant
go alone these days. They have to
be escorted by school administra-
tors.
Its been that way since early
October, when hall passes were
suspended after three trash cans
were set on fre and fre alarms
were pulled.
If youre going to treat me like
I was in kindergarten we should at
least get recess and nap time, said
senior Kristen Hughes, 17. I was
degraded.
The alarms forced all students
and staf outside and they missed
hours of teaching time. The culprits
have been caught and punished.
Some of the 1,400 students
complain that theyre being
treated like preschoolers, but
principal Jim Jordan says hes more
concerned about their safety.
Its sort of a life lesson were
trying to teach kids, Jordan said.
It takes all of us together to be a
good school, not one individual.
Newspaper: No free letters
for political endorsements
PROCTOR, Minn. If youre
thinking of sneaking in a letter to
The Proctor Journal that endorses
your favorite candidate, youll have
to pay for it.
Owner-publisher-editor Jake
Benson is charging 5 cents a word
for letters to the editor that back
political candidates.
After years of having candi-
dates drop by the ofce, news
release in hand but no ads, I just
got tired of spending space and
time and not getting any sort of
advertising and then getting bar-
raged with last-minute letters to
the editor supporting issues and
candidates, Benson said.
The Journal, a 100-year-old
weekly newspaper in northeast-
ern Minnesota near Duluth, has a
circulation of nearly 2,000.
The twice-weekly Echo Press in
Alexandria has had a similar policy
for letters to the editor for more
than 15 years. It seemed to work
and does limit the numbers, said
editor Al Edenlof, although we
still get tons of them.
Media ethics expert Bob Steele,
of the Poynter Institute, didnt like
the idea. I believe the letters to the
editor forum is a valuable one for
the public to express thoughts and
ideas and concerns, he said.
Sewer waste could power
buildings heating system
SALT LAKE CITY How many
toilet fushes does it take to power
a light bulb?
Salt Lake City is exploring a pilot
project that would convert sewer
waste into energy to run a heating
system in a downtown building,
city water department ofcial Jef
Niermeyer said.
It sounds gross, but should be
perfectly sanitary.
The heat, Niermeyer explains,
will come partly from solid waste,
and mostly from warm water that
runs in sewage pipes after draining
out of toilets, showers and sinks.
The sewage temperature be-
tween 55 and 60 degrees com-
bined with a constant ground
temperature of about 55 provides
a viable ground source for a heat-
pump system.
Simply put, the system would
transfer energy from one place to
another.
Attorney John Lears new ofces
will be the testing ground for the
system. Lear, who specializes in
gas and oil law, stumbled upon the
idea last year while investigating
alternatives to traditional heating
and cooling systems.
Its a bit expensive the system
costs $20,000 more than traditional
systems but if it works well, Lear
hopes it could be eventually used
by the masses.
Guns, driving may lead you

McCurdy was driving south on
Interstate 65 near Lafayette on
Sunday trying to unload his gun
when it discharged, Indiana State
Police said.
Beside him in the car was his
wife, Robin.
McCurdy was listed Monday in
satisfactory condition at St. Eliza-
beth Medical Center in Lafayette,
said hospital spokesman Matthew
Oates.

Thumping hip-hop beats and dis-
cussions on African-American cul-
ture will be heard in an unexpect-
ed place this week: Haskell Indian
Nations University.
Haskell, along with the University
of Kansas will host the First and
Forced conference on Indigenous
and African American Intersections.
This Thursday through Saturday
the two universities will take turns
hosting professors, activists, musical
groups and students in a discus-
sion on the convergence of the two
cultures.
Rap beats will fill Navarre Hall
at Haskell on Thursday night,
thanks to the hip-hop group Culture
Shock Camp. The sound of African
djembe drums and Inuit harmonies
from Alaska will resound through
the halls of the Kansas Union on
Friday night. Scholars and professors
from Arizona State University, the
University of New Mexico and Johns
Hopkins University will converge
to discuss laws, issues and culture
relating to African-American and
Indigenous people. Representatives
and scholars from Pawnee, Cherokee
and Quinault Indian Nations will
also make presentations.
Ruben Afagla, Lome, Togo, grad-
uate student, will speak on Thursday
afternoon at Haskell. Afagla will
speak on a paper he wrote about
commonalities of African-American
and Native-American experiences
in the United States. He said his
international identity allowed him
to approach the topic from a differ-
ent angle.
Afagla said he found three similar-
ities between the two cultures. Both
constitute minorities in the United
States, both have been displaced or
denied sovereignty or an equal place
in society and both resisted Western
cultural domination.
I knew of African Americans
and white Americans before coming
to the United States, but I believe
that American Indians are not really
known about outside the United
States, Afagla said. They havent
disappeared. My priority at KU
was to see if these people were still
around.
Afagla said he hoped the confer-
ence would open up more discussion
in Lawrence.
The conference is the culmination
of the Shifting Borders project, two
years worth of study and research on
African-American and Indigenous
cultures between the two universi-
ties with the help of a grant from the
Ford Foundation.
Zanice Bond de Perez, Shifting
Borders co-director at the University
of Kansas, said the project began as
a way to discuss racial and cultural
connections that were being ignored
by the majority of university studies.
The First and Forced conference
was modeled after a similar one
held at Dartmouth College in 2000,
she said.
The African American and First
Nations people have had a long his-
tory of collaborating and serving as
allies, Bond de Perez said. Yet they
have also served on opposite sides in
some issues. We often dont see these
intersections as multifaceted as they
are in university discourse.
Bond de Perez said she looked
forward to the change in learning
and understanding that the confer-
ence and project might bring about
in Lawrence and on a national scale.
There is a lot of history to uncov-
er, she said.

Drumming up awareness
By anna Faltermeier
A lawsuit was filed in San
Francisco last week against mak-
ers of popular birth control patch
Ortho Evra claiming the patch
caused blood clots that led to seri-
ous illness and one death.
But Kathy Guth, nurse practitio-
ner in womens health at Watkins
Memorial Health Center, said the
risks with the patch were the same
as with the birth control pill, as far
as studies had shown.
Nothing is 100 percent without
risks, Guth said. Blood clots are
a complication of anything thats
hormonal.
Ortho Evra is an adhesive patch
that releases hormones and is
applied directly to the skin. Unlike
the pill, which is taken daily, the
patch is replaced weekly.
Its just a different mechanism
as far as how youre going to receive
the hormones, Guth said.
Krystal Werth, Wichita senior,
used the birth control patch for
six months. She said her mom and
a friend became concerned about
her using the patch after hearing
about medical concerns associated
with it.
A friend of mine whos a nurs-
ing student lectured me about
being on the patch because shed
heard of all the problems with it,
Werth said.
There are several law firms tak-
ing up claims of women who have
had blood clots or complications
while on the patch. Some firms set
up Web sites dedicated completely
to Ortho Evra claims such as ortho-
patchlawsuit.com and orthoevrain-
jury.net.
Werth said she stopped using
the patch because it gave her severe
cramps and was uncomfortable to
wear.
She said she didnt have serious
complications like blood clots while
using the patch.
Ortho Evra is the only birth con-
trol patch on the market.
Last year the Food and Drug
Administration changed the label-
ing for the patch to include a warn-
ing in bold type that said the patch
exposed women to higher levels of
estrogen than most birth control
pills.
According to the FDA, women
using Ortho Evra are exposed to
about 60 percent more total estro-
gen than if they were taking a typi-
cal birth control pill containing 35
micrograms of estrogen.
Unlike the pill, the patch exposes
women to a constant level of estro-
gen. The pill has estrogen levels that
peak and decline depending on the
time of day.
This September, the FDA
announced the results of two stud-
ies on Ortho Evra done to evaluate
the risk of serious blood clots asso-
ciated with the patch.
The results of the studies con-
tradicted each other. One found
that the risk with the patch was the
same as with a pill containing 35
milligrams of estrogen. The other
study found that the risk of a seri-
ous blood clot doubled from the pill
to the patch.
The FDA said the findings sup-
port the FDAs concerns regarding
the potential for Ortho Evra use to
increase the risk of blood clots in
some women.
Guth said about 25 patches were
prescribed each month at Watkins.
She said the price recently went up
to $46.16 per month from $38.50
per month and this caused fewer
people to use it.
Guth said she talked to patients
about risk factors of the patch just
like she did when she prescribed
anything hormonal, like the pill.
At this point, the patch is still
being recommended and still being
used, she said.

Prosthetics, places to meet
lesbians and gender reassign-
ment surgery were all topics of
discussion in the Kansas Room
of the Kansas Union on Tuesday
night.
The KU Queers and Allies
hosted its first annual Ask a
Queer a Question last night. Six
KU students, including a lesbian,
a bisexual, two homosexuals, a
female-to-male transsexual and
an allied friend of members of
the lesbian/gay/bisexual/trans-
gender community sat on a pan-
el and answered a wide range of
questions from the audience.
An audience of about 20 gath-
ered for Q & As effort to get
more students interested in the
LGBT community.
The question and answer ses-
sion opened with a question
about where to meet attractive
lesbians and bisexuals.
From there the discussion
touched on sexual attraction,
same-sex marriage, religious op-
position, preferred terminology
and discrimination.
Members of the panel also
shared some of their coming-out
stories when an audience mem-
ber asked for advice on coming
out.
Some panelists said they came
out as teenagers while others
didnt come out until college.
They all mentioned experi-
ences with opposition or con-
fusion from others about their
sexuality.
Ill be coming out my whole
life, for every employer and oth-
ers involved in my life, Jonathan
Pryor, Queers and Allies director
and Columbus senior, said dur-
ing the discussion.
The panelists stressed that
their sexuality wasnt about gen-
der labels but about attraction
and interest in a individual.
Youre attracted to who youre
attracted to, no matter whats
downstairs, Melissa Todhunter,
Queers and Allies social out-
reach coordinator and Columbus
freshman, said to the crowd.
Pryor said that this was the
first time the organization had
hosted an event like this on a
broad scale for the public.
Pryor said he hoped the event
would help people who were in-
terested in the LGBT and allied
community.
This helps educate people
whove never had a chance to
ask the LGBT community ques-
tions, Pryor said.
This was a pretty open-
minded audience tonight.
Maria Rodriguez, Dyersburg,
Tenn., sophomore, came out to
ask honest questions of the pan-
elists.
I came to support a friend
and see what questions would be
asked, Rodriguez said.
Where Im from this wouldnt
be happening. Gay people would
not be getting asked questions
without people screaming at
them.

Panel talks about attraction, LGBT issues
and asked him about it. Giles then
got very angry and dragged the
woman by her ankles off his bed and
down the hall, as she was trying to
get away, according to the report.
She told police that Giles then struck
her with his closed, right fist on the
left side of her head.
The woman collected her belong-
ings, left the towers and called
the police. Giles admitted to the
responding officer that he dragged
the woman across the floor, but
denied hitting her on the head.
Attempts to contact the woman
were unsuccessful. The University
Daily Kansan has chosen to withhold
the womans name out of respect for
her privacy.
After coming to Kansas a highly
ranked recruit, Giles career failed
to live up to the hype. In his two
seasons in Lawrence, Giles aver-
aged fewer than five points and four
rebounds a game.
But the bigger problem for the
Jayhawks is that losing Giles means
theyll be without a much-needed
post player. With Giles gone, Kansas
has only two forwards on scholar-
ship. Giles will remain on scholar-
ship through the fall semester.

John Sebelius, the governors
father and a former governor of
Ohio, called his daughters victory
one of the great political victories of
this region in a long time.
Sebelius father said he hoped vic-
tories could become a regular fea-
ture for Democrats, who are gener-
ally outnumbered by Republicans
in Kansas.
Mark Parkinson, Sebelius run-
ning mate, had switched parties
from Republican to Democrat to
join the Sebelius ticket. Parkinson
said Sebelius rejected negative cam-
paigning and partisan politics. He
said that the Democrats had sup-
ported him and Morrison, who also
switched parties, despite their for-
mer party affiliation.
At the Republican partys elec-
tion vigil, Barnett told supporters he
would continue to push campaign
issues as a state senator.
These issues wont go away,
Barnett said. We will continue to
fight and continue to do what we
need to do to help the states prob-
lems.
Renee Klinges, St. Mary senior
and chairwoman of the KU College
Republicans, said that Sebelius didnt
pay as much attention to rural com-
munities as Barnett would have as
governor.
She said Barnett, because hes a
Republican, seems to mesh better
with people of Kansas and represent
voters better.
During the campaign, Sebelius
had trumpeted her fiscal discipline,
including making health care more
affordable and restructuring Kansas
budget to eliminate revenue short-
falls.
Barnett had questioned Sebelius
on funding for state universities and
said Sebelius was to blame for steep
tuition increases during the past five
years.
Because she could be a vice presi-
dential candidate in 2008, some
questioned Sebelius intention to
serve as governor for a full four-year
term. Last Friday, Sebelius told The
Associated Press she intended to
remain in office for her whole term
if re-elected.

Overland Park Rep. Dennis
Moore had an early birthday cel-
ebration Tuesday night after he won
his fifth term as Representative of
the 3rd Congressional District of
Kansas.
Moore (D-Kan.) had 60 percent
of the votes, defeating his Republican
challenger, Chuck Ahner, who had
38 percent of the votes with 545 of
584 precincts reporting.
The confetti and party horns were
out along with Moores guitar after it
was confirmed he defeated Ahner.
He and his family sang This Land
is Your Land with a packed banquet
hall in Overland Park.
He told his faithful fans that its not
about the Democratic or Republican
party, but about restoring checks
and balances to the country. Bi-par-
tisan politics were a running theme
throughout his election campaign
at a time when a Republican upset
was expected in the U.S. House of
Representatives. As of late Tuesday
evening, the Democrats had wrest-
ed more than enough seats from
Republicans they needed at least
15 to take control of the U.S.
House if they held on to all the seats
they had previously.
The situation in the Senate was
more uncertain. The Democrats were
poised to make significant gains, but
not necessarily enough to get control.
The impending Democratic vic-
tory had Moore in an even better
mood. The four-term Congressman
said fiscal responsibility would be
the number one item on the agenda
for the Democratic party when it
assumes power in January. Fiscal
responsibility and conservation
was on Ahners agenda too, but he
didnt agree with the rest of what he
described as liberal agenda.
Ahner told his smaller crowd at
the Double Tree Hotel in Overland
Park that there was not a lot of enthu-
siasm in the race because he didnt
receive much financial support from
the National Republican Committee.
He acknowledged Democrats
would be taking over the U.S. House
and said he thought it would be
dangerous and disagreeable to the
people of the 3rd District.
Im standing here tonight and
Im still proud to be a Republican,
he said.
Moore may see Ahner on the
Republican ballot again in two years,
but he said until then there was work
to be done.
We will finish the job, Moore
said before he left to celebrate with
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius in Topeka.
A 1952 KU graduate and regis-
tered Republican, John Van Keppel
walked around the campaign party
with a briefcase handing out Moore
and Morrison bumper stickers. He
wore a makeshift blue vest that read,
Republicans vote for Dennis Moore,
summing up Moores campaign.
He exists in strong Republican
areas because he is just like the people
he represents, he said. Moderate.
Thomas Holland, Moores cam-
paign field director and a 2004 KU
graduate, said the mild race with
Ahner was mostly because of the polit-
ical environment in Kansas. He said
Democrats are getting a lot of support
in unexpected places this year.

Camera phones are becoming a
useful tool for voters to post their
election-day thoughts and experi-
ences online.
Veek the Vote 2006 gives people
a way to make themselves heard
on election day by allowing them
to post videos from their camera
phones to the Web site veekthevote.
com.
Roger Raderman, co-founder of
veekthevotes parent Web site, veek-
er.com, said that videos and photos
were a great way for people to give
their opinions on the election as
well as any irregularities occurring
at the polling stations.
Users can send their videos and
photos via camera phone to vote@
veeker.com.
We set it up as really sort of an
open network for youth to show the
world where they stand on election
day, Raderman said.
This program is one example
of how organizations are trying
to entice a younger population to
speak out about elections and other
issues.
We think that this is just the
beginning, Raderman said.
The turnout of the 18- to 24-year-
old voters was projected at 32 per-
cent for this election by a Harvard
University Institute of Politics poll.
Burdett Loomis, professor of
political science, said anything that
increases dialogue, like the Web site,
is a good way to get people involved
in the election.
Loomis said he thought the can-
didates were not focusing on issues
important to the youth demographic
because candidates would not spend
a lot of time on a demographic that
didnt have strong voter turnout.
If they perceive something as
important to them they might be
more inclined to vote, he said.

State insurance commissioner earns second term
By MAtt ELDEr
Sandy Praeger (R-Lawrence)
was re-elected last night as Kansas
Insurance Commissioner with 62
percent of votes. This will be her
second four-year term to serve as
commissioner.
It was gratifying four years ago,
but even more so now that people
have trusted me to return, Praeger
said.
Praeger previously served three
terms with the Kansas Senate,
and one term before that with the
Kansas House of Representatives.
She served on the Lawrence City
Commission from 1985 to 1989
and as Lawrence mayor from 1986
to 1987. She is a graduate of the
University of Kansas.
Bonnie Sharp (D-Kansas City)
received 34 percent of votes. She
said she supported the voters deci-
sions and looked forward to future
endeavors.
It really was two ladies and a
gentleman running, Sharp said.
Anytime a door has closed for me,
another one opens.
Patrick Wilbur (L-Lawrence)
received 4 percent of votes. Wilbur
said he did not see himself running
for office again, but he would be
involved with finding high-quality
Libertarians to run for the position
in the future. He said that expan-
sion of Libertarian views to western
Kansas in the future would con-
tinue to add to the organizations
growing success.
Wilbur is a graduate of the
University.
This campaign never got per-
sonal or nasty like some others,
Wilbur said, and Im proud of
that.

Secretary of State re-elected
By MAtt ELDEr
Ron Thornburgh returns for his
third term as Kansas Secretary of
State after serving the last eight
years as the states chief election
official.
With virtually all precincts
reporting, Thornburgh (R-Topeka)
had received 64 percent of votes.
He was unavailable for comment
Tuesday night.
Thornburghs campaign aimed
at a higher voter turnout, and
increased the role of advanced
ballots in this years election.
Thornburgh pushed the legisla-
ture to allow satellite voting in
more public places which has
met with resistance and has
used electronic greeting cards to
increase voter turnout. He aggres-
sively targeted voters age 18 to
24, through electronic media espe-
cially.
David Haley (D-Kansas City)
received 34 percent of votes.
Haley has served as a Kansas
state senator since 2000, and as a
state representative from 1994 to
2000.
Being outspent by a Republican
incumbent by over $100,000 is hard
to overcome, Haley said. But I will
continue to be a voice in the Kansas
legislature.
Rob Hodgkinson (L-Johnson
County) received 2 percent of votes.
Hodgkinson is the chairman of the
Kansas Libertarian Party.
Joseph Martin (F-St. Marys) also
received 2 percent of votes.
He is currently the vice chair-
man for the Reform Party of
Kansas, and served as the chair-
man in the past.

MorriSoN (continued from 1A)
Last weekend, Morrison traveled
across Kansas to gain support for his
campaign, but it was clear earlier this
month that Kansans were rallying
behind him. Last week the candi-
dates released campaign contribution
numbers and Morrison earned about
twice as much in donations as Kline,
roughly $2 million to $1 million.
The race between Morrison and
Kline was one of the more publicized
entering election night, heating up
each day leading to the election.
In the last week, two abortion
clinics requested that Kline return
patients medical records and that an
investigation of a leak of those docu-
ments be started.
Morrisons opposition to accessing
such personal information gained
him support in the election.
Its a victory for Kansans who
want their most private information
kept private, Morrison said.
With 25 years of law enforce-
ment experience, including nearly
20 years as Johnson County District
Attorney, Morrisons main campaign
issues were to crack down on domes-
tic violence and cyber crimes, such
as Internet sex offenders. He also
wanted to reduce the number of
mentally ill individuals in prison
to allow them to get back on their
medications and receive therapy.
Two of Morrisons most notable
accomplishments were helping write
Kansas first lawpermanently locking
up sexual predators and prosecuting
the nations first Internet serial killer.
Incumbent Attorney General
Phill Kline conceded the race at
10:08 p.m. as polls began to come
in from across the state putting him
significantly behind challenger Paul
Morrison. The sober silence that
had fallen over the watch party was
temporarily broken as Kline took
the stage.
I have had the honor to stand for
causes that will stand the test of time,
Kline said amidst cheering. They are
not dependent on my voice, because
truth has its own power and marches
to its own victory.
He defended his position on the
acquisition of medical records a
controversial move that many critics
say may have cost him the election.
If the state of Kansas decides
they will not have someone in the
attorney generals office investigat-
ing child rape when a child is taken
to an abortion clinic, he said, it has
a right to decide.
It is a wonderful issue to stake
your political career over, Kline
said.
Dennis Chanay, Paola junior,
attended the watch party and came
to the defense of Klines position on
medical records.
I think anybody whos willing
to be that controversial to protect
Kansans deserves the job, Chanay
said.
The loss added to a painful day
for Kline, who apparently made a
visit to the dentist before the election
results came out.
I didnt intend to have a root
canal today, Kline said. Ive been
so busy looking at your own medical
records I forgot to check my own.
Morrison said that, even in defeat,
Kline was gracious. He added that he
was looking forward to working with
Kline in the coming weeks during
the transition period.
Democratic Senator David Haley,
who also switched parties in the
early 1990s, summed up the night
best for Kansas Democrats.
As we look ahead, as we look for-
ward, Haley said, weve got some
great days ahead.

We took risks on this campaign
by running a positive campaign,
Boyda said to the boisterous crowd
at the Ramada Inn in Topeka. But I
think theyre getting the message and
Kansas is sending it loud and clear.
Rep. Ryun was the last candidate
to concede Tuesday night, inter-
rupting a somber hush that blan-
keted the Republican watch party.
Thanks for 10 years of service,
Ryun told supporters at the Capitol
Plaza Hotel in Topeka. Theres so
many rich stories and rich memo-
ries. We will cherish those. I thank
God for this opportunity.
Renee Klinges, St. Marys senior
and chairwoman of KU College
Republicans, said Ryun embodies
the values of Kansas.
Our entire group put a lot of
time into his campaign, she said.
Im very, very disappointed that
he lost.
Despite the loss, many remained
hopeful, including Ryun.
I still feel like we have the right
values, he said.
Boyda said it was nice to finally
see a big blue spot in the middle of
the United States. The Democratic
Party took control of the House of
Representatives.
Boyda worked with a tiny, tiny
staff, but it appeared that some-
times smaller,
perhaps, was
better.
Boyda based
her campaign
on the idea
of changing
Congress. She
wanted to get
rid of the cul-
ture of corrup-
tion that she
said had been
running Congress.
She said health care and energy
policies needed real and immedi-
ate help.
Boyda also supports educational
Pell Grants so that all Americans,
including the underprivileged, had
the opportunity to achieve a superb
education.
Boyda ended her premature vic-
tory speech with a common phrase
heard throughout her campaign.
Nothing will change until we
change Congress, she said.
At a time
when politi-
cal interest
is dwindling
among college
students, KU
students were
in Topeka sup-
porting the
De mo c r a t i c
party.
S a r a h
P e t e r s o n ,
Lawrence graduate student, said she
met Boyda during a St. Patricks Day
parade in Topeka.
She shook my hand and intro-
duced herself, Peterson said. I
went to her Web site and agreed
with her views, so Ive been a volun-
teer for her campaign since April.
Peterson and more than 1,000
Democratic Party supporters were
on hand to celebrate with Boyda
and the other Democratic candi-
dates.
Kate Sullivan, Chicago senior,
was thrilled when Boyda won the
tight race against Ryun.
I was optimistic she would win,
she said. But I was surprised to
see the numbers come out so well
so early.
Boyda edged out Ryun by a small
percent, 52 to 45 percent.
I think Nancy Boyda will bring
a positive change within the House,
Sullivan said.

2 races to decide Senate control
By tOM rAUM
AssOCiAtED PrEss
WASHINGTON (Wednesday)
Republicans struggled Wednesday to
prevent a Democratic takeover of the
Senate after losing GOP-held seats in
Ohio, Rhode Island, Missouri and
Pennsylvania.
Seizing on voter discontent with
President Bush and the war in Iraq,
Democrats mounted challenges for
Republican-held seats in two other
states Virginia and Montana
and were ahead in both.
I think we will hold control of
the Senate, Republican National
Chairman Ken Mehlman said on
CNN.
In Pennsylvania, Democrat Bob
Casey, son of a popular former gov-
ernor, soundly defeated incumbent
Sen. Rick Santorum, a conservative
and third-ranking member of the
Senate GOP leadership. Democratic
Rep. Sherrod Brown easily beat GOP
incumbent Mike DeWine in Ohio,
a state where Republican scandals
were devastating for the party.
Former state Attorney General
Sheldon Whitehouse defeated
incumbent Sen. Lincoln Chafee in
Rhode Island. Chafee is an openly
anti-war Republican who consis-
tently voted against President Bush
on legislation.
Republican Bob Corker, a for-
mer mayor of Chattanooga, defeated
Democratic Rep. Harold Ford for the
seat held by retiring Senate Majority
Leader Bill Frist. Ford had sought to
become the first black southerner
elected to the Senate in more than
a century.
In Missouri, Democrat Claire
McCaskill, the state auditor, slow-
ly chipped away at the lead of
Republican Sen. Jim Talent, declar-
ing victory shortly after 1 a.m today.
If Democrats win one more seat,
it would produce a 50-50 Senate, like
the one that existed in early 2001,
when Vice President Dick Cheney
wielded tie-breaking authority.
Even if they dont get a majority,
Democrats will make it harder for
Bush to enact his agenda his final
two years in office by holding more
seats in the Senate.
Americans have come to the
conclusion, as we did some time ago,
that a one-party town simply doesnt
work, Senate Minority Leader Harry
Reid (D-Nev.), told party workers
early today.
Reid said a strong Democratic
turnout in both Senate and House
races shows we must change course
in Iraq.
In races still undecided early today,
Democrat Jim Webb, a former Navy
secretary under President Reagan,
held a slim lead over Republican
incumbent George Allen with 10
percent of the absentee ballots still
uncounted. A recount was possible.
The election continues, Allen
told supporters. The counting will
continue through the night. It will
continue tomorrow.
Democrats best chance for pick-
ing up another seat was in Montana,
where state Senate President Jon
Tester held a 4 percentage point with
about two-thirds of the precincts
reporting.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, running
as an independent after losing the
Democratic primary, kept his seat
from Connecticut.
In New Jersey, Sen. Bob Menendez
held off a strong challenge from
Republican Tom Kean Jr., son of a
former governor, to keep the seat
in Democratic hands. Menendez,
appointed to the seat in January
after Jon Corzine gave it up to
become governor, had been viewed
as the most vulnerable of 17 Senate
Democratic incumbents.
Democrats also kept their seat in
another important race in Maryland,
where Rep. Ben Cardin held off a
late surge by Republican Lt. Gov.
Michael Steele to succeed retiring
Sen. Paul Sarbanes.
Former First Lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton, considering a
Democratic bid for the White House
in 2008, easily won re-election to a
second term from New York.
Lieberman will be one of two
independents in the new Senate.
Rep. Bernie Sanders, an eight-terms
congressman who calls himself a
socialist, won the seat of retiring
Sen. Jim Jeffords, also an indepen-
dent. Both Lieberman and Sanders
have said they will align themselves
with Democrats.
Democratic Sens. Dianne
Feinstein of California, Maria
Cantwell of Washington and Debbie
Stabenow of Michigan were re-elect-
ed.
Democrats also kept seats in
Wisconsin, North Dakota, New
Mexico, Michigan, Nebraska, West
Virginia, Massachusetts, Florida,
Delaware, Wisconsin and Hawaii.
Republican Sen. John Kyl won
re-election in Arizona despite
Democratic hopes for an upset by
wealthy businessman Jim Pederson.
Democrats needed a net gain
of six seats to take control of the
Senate, which, except for a 19-
month period in 2001 and 2002,
has been run by Republicans since
1995.
i think nacy Boyda will bring
a postiive change within the
House.

City Commission gets rid
of wave down policy
The Lawrence City Commis-
sion unanimously approved all
the items on the consent agenda
Tuesday evening, including the
elimination of the current wave
down policy for the T, Law-
rences bus system.
The policy to this point has al-
lowed passengers to wave down
a bus anywhere along its route.
But Vashti Winterburg, a member
of the group which originally
petitioned the commission for a
bus system, wondered whether
this move would disenfranchise
people with disabilities by mak-
ing them fll out an application to
be able to wave down busses.
I think its wrong of this com-
mission to say that if you have
some kind of disability were
going to make you jump through
hoops to get a fag,Winterburg
said.
Clif Galante, Lawrence Transit
Administrator, said that the appli-
cation was easier to fll out than
in other cities. Lawrences version
only requires that applicants
name their disability and their
doctor.
Galante said that the elimi-
nation of the policy and the
addition of 100 bus stops to the
existing 216 would beneft trafc-
fow in areas such as 23rd Street.

Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-
Lawrence) continues her tenure in
the 44th District seat in the Kansas
State House with a deciding victory
against Rick Davis (R-Lawrence).
Her victory ensured her eighth
consecutive term in office. Ballard,
61, represents west-central Lawrence.
She is the associate director at the
Dole Institute of Politics, located
on the University of Kansas West
Campus. Prior to her current posi-
tion, Ballard served as the director of
the Emily Taylor Womens Resource
Center and the Dean of Students at
the University.
Ballard is a member of the House
Appropriations, Joint Legislative
Educational Planning, Social Services
and Transportation Committees.
Ballard said shes relieved.
When you run a campaign,
youre happy when its over, Ballard
said. When you win, youre really,
really happy.
She was excited to pick up where
she left off and continue the work
she had done in her previous term.
Education was at the top of her list
including multi-year funding for K-
12, the higher education budget and
University of Kansas Medical Center
funding. Health care is also a pri-
mary concern.
Davis said he knew challenging
Ballard for a seat shes held for the
past 14 years would be tough.
Even if youre not a good rep-
resentative, but you have the name
recognition, you have a good chance
to win, Davis said. Its a big part of
the election process.
Davis said he will be back. The
23-year-old will run again, but he
couldnt say if it would be in the 44th
District. Thats two years out, noth-
ing is set in stone he said.
Until the next opportunity to run,
he will continue to stay active with
the Douglas County Republican
Party helping to change the per-
ception that Douglas County is a
Democratic district and Lawrence is
a Democratic city.
Ballard couldnt say if this would
be her last term.
As long as Im making a dif-
ference, as long as Im excited and
enthusiastic, I will run for office,
she said.
Ballard won with 76 percent of
the vote, with all precincts reporting.
She received almost 2500 more votes
than Davis.

State representative Tom Sloan
(R-Lawrence) was re-elected to serve
as a state representative for the 45th
district.
Sloan said he was happy to be
re-elected and that he truly enjoyed
doing the job and making people
happy.
He said throughout his six terms
in Congress, he was still constantly
learning new things.
I know a lot, but what I dont
know is even larger, Sloan said.
Its constantly an opportunity to go
learn more.
Sloan defeated his challeng-
er, reform party candidate Jason
Littlejohn (F-Lawrence), with almost
78 percent of the vote.
This was the first time Littlejohn
had run for political office. He said
for a first-time candidate, he was
ecstatic to receive more than 20 per-
cent of the vote. Littlejohn said he
ran to be a leader instead of a fol-
lower.
Theres a lot of problems.
Politicians are not talking real seri-
ous issues, Littlejohn said.
Littlejohn said he ran on the
reform party ticket because both
of the major parties were moving
in the wrong direction. He said he
planned on running again because
he thought voters would tire of the
dominant parties, giving third par-
ties more of a chance.

Voters in Douglas County elected
Rep. Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) to his
third consecutive term as a state rep-
resentative for the 46th district.
Davis defeated his challenger,
Libertarian party candidate Marcus
Kirby, with 87 percent of the vote.
Elections are a humbling experi-
ence, Davis said. Im just pleased
that the voters feel that Im doing a
good job representing them, and Im
looking forward to challenges that
await us the next two years.
He said that during his next term,
he was interested in providing more
resources to state universities and
developing the research capacities
of the University of Kansas and KU
Med Center.
After hearing of his re-election,
Davis said he would go to Topeka to
celebrate with other Democrats.
Kirby, a first-time candidate and
student at the University, said he
eventually wanted to pursue Kansas
politics as a career and would use
the experience to improve his strat-
egies for his next campaign in two
years.
Kirby campaigned by going to
downtown Lawrence to pass out fli-
ers and talk with people. He said for
his next campaign, he would look
into expanding into other forms of
advertisement, such as yard signs.
Kirby said he might have lost
because he focused on issues that
were more pressing to Kansans as
a whole rather than just his con-
stituents.

Tom Holland beat out two
opponents on Tuesday night for
another term as Kansas House
Representative for the 10th
District.
Holland (D-Baldwin City) beat out
opponents Roy Dunn, a Republican,
and Robert Garrard, a Libertarian,
with more than 61 percent of the
votes, compared to 36 percent for
Dunn and 3 percent for Garrard,
with all precincts reporting.
Holland ran on a platform con-
cerning issues of job protection
and growth in Kansas, investment
in education and affordable health
care.
Hollands opponent, Dunn, com-
plimented Holland on a success-
ful campaign after results indicated
Holland would be victorious.
You try to do your best in the
campaign, Dunn said. It takes
quite a bit of time and quite a bit
of money. I really compliment Tom
and I for running a clean cam-
paign.
Dunn said he will remain
Franklin County Commissioner, a
position he has held since 2004.
Garrard said the last time he
ran he received only 2 percent of
the votes.
I dont expect to win, I just
wanted to get the message out about
what Libertarians believe, Garrard
said late Tuesday night.
Tom Holland could not be
reached for comment late Tuesday
night.

In a race to decide the 38th
District State House seat, two for-
mer public school educators went
head to head. With all the pre-
cincts reporting, incumbent Rep.
Anthony R. Brown (R-Eudora),
earning 57 percent of the vote,
came out on top against Diane R.
Bryant (D-Olathe), who managed
only 43 percent.
The 38th District, which is
between Olathe and Lawrence,
includes De Soto and Eudora and
consists of more than 30,000 peo-
ple.
Brown, a former social studies
teacher said that he was excited to
have won for the second consecu-
tive term, but that it was a somber
night because some of his friends
were not re-elected in all the state
and local turnover.
Brown said he wanted to push
Kansas to include more alterna-
tive fuel legislation. Also high on
Browns agenda was preventing
dead-beat dads from obtain-
ing hunting or fishing licenses to
ensure they pay their bills.
Bryant, a former librarian with
the Olathe School District, said
school funding and pursuing alter-
native forms of energy were also
key issues for her.
These are non-partisan issues,
she said, and added that both par-
ties could work together to accom-
plish common goals.
As far as running again, Bryant
couldnt say whether she would.
She said she would find a way to
stay involved in the community
and planned on spending time with
her family.
Brown said he thought hard
work by his wife and himself in the
district contributed to his victory.
I met 85 percent of the people
in my district by walking, he said.

COMMENTARY
Grant Snider/KANSAN
Stumping, mudslinging,
Decision 2006 and Indecision
2006 are all yesterdays exhorta-
tions and the election excitement
(tedium, for some) has already
faded. But why not pay attention
to the next two years of bungles
(or accomplishments) to guide
you in your decisions for 2008?
With that stack of Western
Civilization books to read or
beers in your refrigerator to
drink, maybe you lacked the time
to take notice of this seasons
squabbles. But you could hardly
avoid it when your cell phone
rang, the caller ID said anony-
mous and then a recording of
Paul Morrison or some other
gruff voice commanded you to
vote for him or her.
If you had paid attention
the last two years, you could
have snapped your phone
shut. You would have already
known whether to vote for the
candidate. Advertisements and
news reports bombard us with
(dis)information about challeng-
ers, but usually you can make a
decision based on whether or not
you approve of the incumbents
conduct during his or her term.
From Jack Abramoff to torture,
Kansas abortion clinic medical
records to Mark Foley, bad John
Kerry jokes to the Kansas Board
of Education, everyone has expe-
rienced abominations to their
values since 2004.
Thats why its important to
base your vote on a politicians
conduct through an extended
period of time. No pre-elec-
tion opinion section contains all
the relevant information in its
two-page spread to produce an
informed citizenry in one day.
Whether or not you enjoy the
medias election-season horse
race, pick up The Kansan every
day and look for political news
and opinions to better inform
you for 2008. We will continue
to cover politics as long as you
continue to read about it.

I hate to crib from David Brooks,
but Im going to go ahead and do
so: Were entering an era without
any predominant political ideology.
Brooks, in The New York Times
last week, was talking about how
from FDR to LBJ we had a pre-
dominantly liberal ideology, with
the New Deal, Social Security and
the progressive legacy of civil rights.
From Nixon to Carter we had what
the latter referred to as malaise
(good word look it up) and a
national sense of disillusionment
with no dominant ideology.
Then from Reagan to some-
time quite recently we had a trend
toward conservatism. The past
six years, however, seems to have
drained it. Were back to not a blank
slate, but a slate full of useless sena-
tors who arent getting re-elected.
So why the flux? Clich time:
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
But since this is a democracy, we
have to settle for enough power,
which corrupts enough. Lets look at
the recent quagmires: Mark Foley,
the initial response to Hurricane
Katrina, the deficit, Iraq and Bush
being a tool. Whether or not you
can blame them on the GOP is
not the question because it has
Congress and the presidency.
If Im being rough on the
Republicans, its because the
Democrats look like the uncharis-
matic loser at the party. The
Republicans, meanwhile, are repre-
sented by the really drunk guy who
lit a cat on fire and then vomited all
over the kitchen. Hes just a more
interesting target.
Now, because Im writing this
the day before the elections, and
because this is appearing the day
after the elections, Im in a bit of
an awkward situation. I dont know
how things went yesterday but Im
going to go out and make a risky
forecast that the Democrats will not
lose.
Whether America switches to
a liberal ideology depends upon
the Democrats finding a decent
message, and the Evangelicals. The
latter came out of nowhere for a lot
of us in 2004, but now it looks like
politically at least theyre los-
ing steam, primarily because they
dont feel Bush is doing enough for
them.
It also helps (or hurts) when you
have something come up like mega-
church preacher Ted Haggard buy-
ing methamphetamine and maybe
seeing a gay prostitute.
As for the Dems. you get the vibe
that they dont know what to do
with regard to Iraq, but lets be hon-
est: Setting up a brand new govern-
ment and military in a country that
sees you as an occupying force and
is over-run with militant fanatics
with guns while trying to get out at
the same time is complicated.
Phrases like cut and run
pigeon-hole them, but with a little
more stretching room in Congress
theyll be able to figure something
out and get their game together.
Crist is a Marysville sophomore in
political science.
I have always joked that models
and Disney characters are a size
negative-two. With the idea of
vanity sizing, that might actually
become a true statement.
The basic concept behind vanity
sizing is that some clothing manu-
facturers are thinking about releas-
ing sizes lower than zero, a.k.a. neg-
ative numbers. They believe shifting
the size scale will make overweight
women feel better about themselves.
So, Ill feel better when I go from a
size eight to a size four.
Although my size may go down,
my body weight is not going to go
down. Im still going to notice my
pudgy tummy sticking out over my
size four jeans when I sit down. The
fat mentality is going to shift along
with the sizes. Soon a size six will
be seen as fat and size negative-two
desirable.
Seeing a smaller size on a tag is
not going to make you healthier
or make you feel better. When a
woman whos trying to lose weight
gets to wear a whole size or two
lower than she does now, the hap-
piness comes not just from the
number, but from the knowledge
that she worked hard to lose that
weight. Going down a size can give
a woman a sense of accomplish-
ment, but that sense is gone when
vanity sizing comes in.
In addition, a Kansan article,
Fashion industry offers negative-
sized clothing, mentioned that
according to a survey by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention,
only four states have obesity levels
of less than 20 percent of the popu-
lation. So if we try to make women
feel skinnier with vanity sizing,
wheres the incentive for them to
work out and eat healthier?
I think instead of trying to make
womens clothing seem smaller
we should try to change the mea-
surements of womens clothing so
women can find a better fit. If I had
more size options for jeans, I could
probably find a better fit more eas-
ily. This would make me feel good
about myself.
It takes forever to find a pair of
jeans that fits well, regardless of size.
There are all sorts of problems with
not just your waist size, but also
your height and thighs and booty.
A size nine might fit your waist but
be two inches too short. And a lot
of women are very reluctant to go
up to that size 11 because that is
going into, gasp, double digits. Bras
are probably the only piece of cloth-
ing women dont mind going up a
size in.
My roommate, Kelly Gibson,
suggested clothing manufacturers
size womens pants like mens pants,
where you measure your inseam
size and waist size. That would be
brilliant. I could find jeans for my
short little body that would actually
accept the fact that I may be small
but I also have three sets of hips.
Most short jean sizes, especially in
the petite section, assume if youre
really short, you must be really
skinny too. Not so. I have big hips
and I cannot lie. You other brothers
cant deny
With more measurement
options, we could find the perfect fit
and feel like we are perfect just the
way we are. And Princess Jasmine
can go eat a box of Krispy Kreme
doughnuts so she can fit into a size
one pair of jeans instead of hoping
for vanity sizing.

GUEST COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
Why am I, an undisciplined,
semi-practicing Muslim at best, so
fond of Salman Ahman, a musician
inspired thoroughly by Islam?
It is not because his band has
sold more than 25 million albums
worldwide, nor because he com-
mands the kind of following in
South Asia that Metallica once did
here.
Rather, it is his persistence in
spreading goodwill about Islam,
regardless of the hostility that such
a task necessarily attracts in recent
times.
Having performed with the likes
of Pearl Jam and Iron Maiden,
this U.N.-appointed Good Will
ambassador is often compared to
U2s Bono, and is the recipient of
UNESCOs outstanding achieve-
ments in music and peace award.
In September 2006, he was
personally invited by Bill Clinton
to speak at the Clinton Global
Initiative panel in New York, where
many prominent personalities like
Bill Gates and Queen Rania were
present.
In a time when Pakistan and
India are trying to outdo each
other in the nuclear arms race, this
Pakistani is emphasizing the need
for peace between the two nations
and was quoted as saying, we dont
have clean water, health or employ-
ment. How can we afford a nuclear
bomb?
His peaceful approach was so
out of the ordinary that the former
Pakistani government called it radi-
cal, banning him from Pakistani
television and radio. Now, however,
he is working in collaboration
with Pakistani President Pervez
Musharaff to bridge the gap, not
only between India and Pakistan,
but also between mainstream
America and American Muslims.
Ahmad, creator and lead guitar-
ist of Junoon, the most popular rock
band in South Asia, performed at
the University of Kansas in 2002 in
front of an audience of more than
1,000 people.
With the help of the Universitys
Pakistani Student Association, he
is coming to the Kansas Union on
Nov. 13. Attendees will be treated to
one of his internationally-acclaimed
documentaries, two of which have
been aired by BBC and PBS.
He has been grilled by corre-
spondents from CNN, NPR and Bill
Maher from Politically Incorrect.
Attendees can do this too, to find
out the cause for which a guitar-
ist/medical doctor puts his stellar
career on the line.
Additionally, Salman has agreed
to bring his guitar along and give
an hours performance. Considering
that he is often hailed as the best
guitarist from South Asia, this could
be quite a treat. And before I forget,
this event is free for KU students
and faculty, so I hope to see a lot of
you there.

The changing weather affects more than
just the clothes students wear and their elec-
tric bills. The increasing chill also affects the
academic and social lives of students. From
getting to class to deciding where to spend a
night out, the cold weather breeds necessary
adjustments in a students mode of operations.
GETTING TO CLASS:
Many students simply avoid the uncomfort-
able weather and dont attend class. Whenever
I start thinking whether I should go or not,
I just dont, Kristen Watkins, Lenexa sopho-
more, said.
However, students who brave the cold and
head for campus become resourceful in terms
of transportation. Watkins said she received
more rides from friends as weather became
more unpleasant.
The KU on Wheels bus system is also a
popular option for students, especially during
the colder months.
Mark Burghart, Topeka sophomore, said,
The buses are packed in the winter, but Ill
still take them.
Jessica Mortinger, transportation coordina-
tor for KU on Wheels, agreed. As weather gets
colder and wetter, we see more ridership, she
said.
According to KU on Wheels records, the
average number of passengers carried in
February 2006 was 9,108, while October aver-
aged only 6,903 passengers.
GOING OUT:
Parties and bars alike sometimes leave stu-
dents out in the cold.
Kelly McReynalds, Santa Fe, N.M., sopho-
more, said, If I go to a party and its packed
so I cant get inside, Im not going to stay there
on the porch.
Bars can also subject chilly patrons to
lengthy, slow-moving lines.
Maris Rogers, Topeka junior, said the maxi-
mum time she waited outside in line was
20 minutes, while Juntack Oh, Seoul, South
Korea, freshman, said, I wouldnt wait even
10 minutes.
Fortunately for freezing bar-goers, some
establishments are prepared.
Patrik Craven, a manager at The Hawk, said,
We have excellent winter attendance because
of the heaters on the patio.
The Hawk, 1340 Ohio St., is just one of sev-
eral bars for KU students equipped with heated
outside areas. Other bars that have outside
heaters include Quintons, The Cadillac Ranch
and Louises Downtown.
GETTING HOME:
By the end of a night out, not all KU stu-
dents find themselves in the condition to drive
home.
I know I dont want to walk home and
freeze, so I use my head more when I go out,
Burghart said.
Not all KU students have the same reason-
ing, especially on special occasions. Mortinger
said the busiest nights for SafeRide are game-
days and holidays, such as Halloween and
New Years Eve. This past Halloween, SafeRide
assisted 135 passengers, whereas only 36 pas-
sengers rode Oct. 30.
The frosty conditions affect students like
McReynalds and Burghart who agree that, rath-
er than walking, they enlist the help of SafeRide
more frequently during winter months. When
asked how many times she has walked home in
the cold, McReynalds easily said, Zero.
Whether its venturing outdoors or rushing
back indoors, the decreasing temperature will
soon affect class attendance, bus ridership and
a students ability to trudge by foot to various
campus locations. KU students have options
though, such as KU on Wheels, SafeRide and
heavy winter clothing to make it to another
spring.

Patrons wait in line outside a very crowded Its Brothers, 1105 Massachusetts St., on a Saturday night despite the cool weather. Colder temperatures dissuade some, but not all, students fromwaiting outside in line to get into bars.
KU students adapt
to winter weather,
try to stay warm
Mindy Ricketts/KANSAN
Students crowd onto a bus bound for McCollumHall on Monday afternoon. SafeRide and KU buses see more use as the
weather cools.
what is the best clothing for cold weather?
a hat
a scarf or knit mask to cover face and
mouth
sleeves that are snug at the wrist
mittens (they are warmer than gloves)
water-resistant coat and shoes
several layers of loose-ftting clothing
Be sure the outer layer of your clothing is
tightly woven, preferably wind resistant, to
reduce body-heat loss caused by wind.
Wool, silk, or polypropylene inner layers
of clothing will hold more body heat than
cotton.
Stay drywet clothing chills the body
rapidly. Excess perspiration will increase
heat loss, so remove extra layers of clothing
whenever you feel too warm.
Avoid getting gasoline or alcohol on your
skin while de-icing and fueling your car or
using a snow blower. These materials in
contact with the skin greatly increase heat
loss from the body.

Im a senior graduating in May
and Ive never taken a road-trip
to a football game during my
time here in Lawrence. No trip to
Columbia, Manhattan, Austin or
Lubbock. Thought about going to
Tulsa, but then realized the game
was in Toledo. Perhaps a trip to
Lincoln? That would require at
least a Benjamin Franklin. Maybe
a jaunt to Waco ehh, heard the
place was kinda wacko.
Why no trip to Mizzou during
Thanksgiving? Ill be in Wyoming
with family. Thus, its Ames or
bust.
But before I could start planning
my trip, my mom called to remind
me of my nieces birthday party.
How could I have let that slip my
mind? And both my mother and
sister had requested my presence.
I told my mom that I wasnt sure
if I could go to the party because I
wanted to go to Ames.
Then I waited.
Mother wasnt upset, but she
wasnt pleased.
Your sister is not going to be
happy with you if youre not at
that party, Freddy. She really wants
you to be there, she said with that
I wouldnt do that if I were you
tone.
I tried to plead my case, explain-
ing that it would just be a bunch of
women and little kids. I felt pretty
good after that. If my daughter was
in town, then yeah, its a no-brain-
er, Im at the party. But I thought
my argument was legitimate. With
kids and toys, cake and ice cream,
my niece didnt need Uncle Fred
there, and in my estimation, she
probably wouldnt have noticed or
cared if I wasnt there.
Confident and relaxed, I waited
for moms response to my airtight
defense. Then she pulled out a
guilt-ridden needle when she
reminded me that I had missed last
years party, too.
Ouch.
Indeed, I did miss last years
party. And that was the first one.
In life, there are birthdays you get
excited for, OK, really only two:
18 and 21. But its hard to dismiss
numero uno. The first year of your
life. Youve gone from a helpless
being who warrants every waking
minute of attention to a walking,
babbling being who eats pennies
and loses remotes. Its a big day.
And yes, I missed the nieces first
birthday. What for you ask?
To go to the KU-Nebraska foot-
ball game. Hey, at least we won.
Saturday afternoon, while KU
romped past Iowa State, I sat
amongst women and children and
ate Dora the Explore cake. Sure it
wasnt the most thrilling event, but
my mom and sister were happy,
and that was good enough for me.
One problem? I forgot to bring
a gift.

While it is too late to turn around
a disappointing season, Kansas will
still seek revenge against Colorado
at 7 tonight at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center.
When the Kansas volleyball team
lost a five-game match Sept. 23 at
Colorado, it started the Jayhawks
free fall to the bottom of the Big 12
standings. Kansas (10-14, 3-12 Big
12) is just 2-10 since the beatdown
in Boulder.
Colorado (13-9, 9-6), on the
other hand, used the momentum
from the victory and has positioned
itself to make the NCAA tourna-
ment. The Buffs are 6-5 since the
match.
We were up 2-1 out there,
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said.
Its one of those matches if we
close out, it couldve made a dif-
ference.
The Jayhawks are riding a cur-
rent five-match losing streak and
have not won in three weeks.
We have absolutely nothing to
lose right now, Katie Martincich,
freshman setter, said. The season
is closing out, so its a now or never
type of thing. Were going to bring
the best game we can.
Martincich recently reached the
1,000-assist milestone this season,
averaging 11.95 assists per game.
With five matches left on the
slate, KUs five seniors will look to
leave a good showing.

At least it was only an exhibition
game.
Emporia State made it a ball game
for the first half before Kansas over-
powered their
opponent with a
solid second half
for a 90-55 victory
Tuesday night in
Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks
started their final
exhibition game
slowly and actually
trailed by as many
as seven to begin
the contest, 8-1.
Poor shoot-
ing, weak interior play and a spirited
Emporia State team plagued Kansas
early in the game and allowed the
Hornets to jump out to the early
lead.
I didnt expect us to play well in
the first half, Self said. But noth-
ing happened negatively to our team
tonight. It was a great lesson for us.
The Jayhawks responded to the
Hornets lead with a 13-1 run punc-
tuated by Julian Wrights two-handed
slam that ignited a dormant crowd
and gave the Jayhawks a 14-9 lead.
Emporia State was not fazed
though. After
coming out
of a time-out
with 13:41 left
in the half, the
Hornets put
together their
own run and
took a 17-16
lead in the pro-
cess.
Adding to
the Jayhawks
trouble, newly named preseason All-
American Brandon Rush played a
forgettable first half, waiting until the
11:53 mark before scoring his first
points on a pair of free throws. Rush
finished 3-12 shooting for 12 points.

Womens lacrosse season

The womens lacrosse team

Womens Lacrosse League Tourna-

its season with an 11-1 record, the
best in team history.
The Jayhawks highlight of the
tournament, which was held in
Columbia, Mo., was a 7-6 victory
against Washington University of
St. Louis, the frst time the Bears
have ever fallen to the Jayhawks.
Leading the scoring for the
weekend was senior Sarah Fiske,
who scored 14 goals, the most on
the team by eight.
Goalkeeper Lisa Brown had 28

junior were picked for the preseason
honors.
Tyler Hansbrough of North
Carolina led the team.
The 6-foot-9 sophomore forward
was the top vote-getter Tuesday on
the team chosen by the same panel
that selects The Associated Press
weekly college basketball poll.
Juniors Joakim Noah of Florida,
Ronald Steele of Alabama and Glen
Davis of LSU also joined Hansbrough
on the team.
Hansbrough was named on 65 of
the 72 ballots, one more than Noah.
Steele received 55 votes, while Davis
had 51 and Rush 26.
Hansbrough was the key to North
Carolinas surprising season that saw
the Tar Heels go from unranked to
10th in the final poll. He averaged
18.9 points and 7.9 rebounds and
made Carolina fans and coach Roy
Williams very happy when he decid-
ed to return for a second season in
Chapel Hill.
Theres a lot of things I want to
accomplish as a team, Hansbrough
said. I had a good year, but I talked
to coach and we both agreed theres
a lot of things I could get better at
individually. Id like to go a little
farther in the tournament and have
a better ending.
Ive never really known a player
to spend another year with coach
Williams and get worse.
The 6-11 Noah was the star of
Floridas run to its first national
championship last season, averag-
ing 14.2 points and 7.1 rebounds.
His flowing hair and engaging smile
has made him a fan favorite and his
ever-improving talent has made the
son of former tennis star Yannick
Noah one of the countrys top play-
ers.
Dont expect to see Michael
Jordan out there right now. There
was so much hype around him at
the end of the year. Hes not Michael
Jordan, Florida coach Billy Donovan
said. I had an opportunity to show
him the tape of every basket he
scored last year. I think it was amaz-
ing for him to get a chance to see
that he scored a lot of baskets just
by hustling and working hard. Hes
not a great 3-point shooter. Hes
not a guy thats going to score a
variety of different ways. He scored
on being a great hustler, a great run-
ner and a highly competitive kid.
Ive talked to him about not losing
that. Sometimes youve got a kid
like Joakim Noah coming back to
college basketball and people expect
to see Magic Johnson, Larry Bird
or Michael Jordan. He is nothing
remotely close to that. Hes a very,
very good player whos eager to get
better.
Davis was hard to miss as LSU
made its run to the Final Four.
Known as Big Baby, the 6-9 Davis
played at 310 pounds last season,
a number some thought may have
been generous, and he was named
Southeastern Conference player of
the year, averaging 18.6 points and
9.7 rebounds.
It will be a much-different looking
Davis this season as he has slimmed
down considerably, losing about 50
pounds.
Im just eating healthier, but its
tough especially for a college stu-
dent, he said this summer. Its not
like I eat crazy, its just really, really
difficult when you stay up late and
do all that college stuff.
I want to go into the NBA with
experience, basically grown up, he
said. I dont want to sit for a couple
of years. For now, I just want to
establish myself in college basketball
and win a national championship.
Its all about winning.
The 6-3 Steele is the only true
guard on the team. He averaged 14.3
points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists
for the Crimson Tide last season,
while averaging just over 40 minutes
per game.
Rush, a 6-6 swingman, averaged
13.5 points and 5.9 rebounds last
season for the Jayhawks.
UCLA junior guard Arron Afflalo
was the next-leading vote-getter with
20.
Last years preseason All-America
team was seniors J.J. Redick and
Shelden Williams of Duke, Dee
Brown of Illinois and Craig Smith
of Boston College along with junior
Adam Morrison of Gonzaga.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Missouri Tigers regroup afer losses
BY TROY SCHULTE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBIA, Mo. After losing
three of four following a 6-0 start,
Missouri coach Gary Pinkel is glad
to have a week off to regroup.
Pinkel said the Tigers (7-3, 3-3
Big 12) arent ready to panic, despite
a tough month that began with a
25-19 loss at Texas A&M on Oct. 14.
After beating Kansas State, Missouri
lost to Oklahoma and Nebraska, all
but eliminating the team from com-
petition for the North division title.
I think everybody would like to
have a bye week in the middle of
the season if you could, Pinkel said.
But coming off two tough losses
against two good football teams, I
feel like this particular year, it prob-
ably was good.
Seven of Pinkels assistants are
using the week off to recruit on the
road. Offensive coordinator Dave
Christensen and defensive coordi-
nator Matt Eberflus remained in
Columbia with Pinkel. A light work-
out was Tuesday, and another will be
Thursday.
The regular procedure returns
next week in preparation for the
Nov. 18 game at Iowa State (3-6, 0-6).
Pinkel said the Tigers still have a lot
to play for, even if Nebraska would
have to lose both of its remaining
games and Missouri would have to
sweep the Cyclones and Kansas to
advance to the Big 12 championship
game.
Missouri has already clinched a
spot in a bowl game for the third
time in four years the first time
that has happened since they went to
five bowl games in six seasons from
1978 through 1983. Missouri also
has a chance for nine victories for
the first time since 1969.
Coach addressed the team and
told us after the (Nebraska) game
that we can have this, we can have a
great season still, quarterback Chase
Daniel said.
First, Missouri must get by Iowa
State, which hasnt won a game over
a Division I opponent since beating
UNLV 16-10. Missouri must also
beat Kansas for the first time since
2002.
A 9-3 regular-season record
would likely put Missouri in the
Alamo Bowl against a Big Ten oppo-
nent, or the Sun Bowl against an
SEC team.

The Texas Longhorns have lost
only once, to the No. 1 Ohio State
Buckeyes. In Mondays Daily Texan,
Eric Ransom attributes that success
to the Longhorns freshman quar-
terback.
Another game, another solid per-
formance from Texas Colt McCoy.
If he were any more consistent,
Swiss craftsmen would design
watches according to McCoy stan-
dard time.
The talk following the game
against Oklahoma State centered
almost completely on Colt McCoy.
And why not, the redshirt fresh-
man broke the schools single-sea-
son touchdown mark. McCoy also
sits two touchdowns from tying the
NCAA mark for freshmen.
With 27 touchdowns, McCoy
passed former stud freshmen like
Philip Rivers of North Carolina State,
Chad Henne of Michigan and Ben
Roethlisberger of Miami (Ohio).
But does Texas freshman quar-
terback deserve Heisman recogni-
tion?
The numbers show he does.
McCoy is currently the nations
No. 2-rated passer, judged by pass
efficiency.
He has passed for 2,051 yards
after 10 games, completing 69 per-
cent of his passes for 27 touchdowns
and four interceptions.
McCoys numbers give him more
touchdowns, yards and completions
than Ohio States Troy Smith. He
also tops Notre Dames Brady Quinn
in touchdowns.
The pass efficiency stat is trickier
than a normal statistic NASA also
uses it to find black holes. Just know
that a rating of around 100 means
the quarterback is pretty good.
McCoy sits around 172.
More importantly, hes playing
well every game and winning the
hearts and minds of his teammates.
But the Heisman is different from
other college football awards.
The candidates nor-
mally have to mount
campaigns for an entire
season to even be consid-
ered in the running. Many
Heisman voters look to
the previous years bowl game to
look for indicators. The player then
has to perform week after week the
next year, beating both the opponent
and the scrutiny.
I just dont personally believe
freshmen should be up for the
Heisman, Texas coach Mack Brown
said. You look at Troy Smith and
Brady Quinn, and theyve been
around for four years.
And McCoy is building his own
following with Texas fans. People
know he drinks half a gallon of milk
a day. He swam across a lake to save
a man suffering from a
seizure.
The word on the street
is he also loves his mom.
Its like college foot-
balls season-long beauty
pageant.
There are exceptions, of course.
Barry Sanders won the Heisman in
his first year as Oklahoma States
running back. Adrian Peterson also
gained a Heisman invitation in his
freshman year.
The biggest thing working against
McCoy is his age. Hes only 20, even
if hes playing like a junior or senior.
After playing Ohio State this
season, McCoy has yet to show a
dropoff in performance. He passed
for six touchdowns against Baylor.
October brought a slew of straight
comebacks. Texas is on course to
win the Big 12 South and sits just
outside the national title picture.
Naturally, not all of that is the
quarterback.
Football is a team game, maybe
the ultimate team game. But quar-
terbacks are similar to running
backs, the other typical Heisman
position, in that their performances
are dependent on others.
The offensive line has to give
McCoy time. The receivers have to
get open. The waterboys must main-
tain the water at room temperature.
And following Oklahoma State,
McCoy was the first one to credit all
the above.
McCoy is putting up Heisman-
like numbers, and he might even
gain an invitation. But for starters,
McCoy could finish the season as
the Big 12s top offensive player and
a name on the All-American lists.
Before all that happens, lets hold
off on the coronation.
Hes going to be around a while.
Nebraska is in position to win the
Big 12 North after defeating Missouri
34-20 Saturday. In Mondays Daily
Nebraskan, Evan Bland said that its
a sign the Cornhuskers are starting
to mature into a complete football
team.
Nebraskas victory earned the
team more than just the right to the
Nebraska-Missouri Bell
this year.
I n t e r e s t i n g l y ,
Nebraska senior defen-
sive end Adam Carriker
said after the game
he had never seen the
Nebraska-Missouri Bell
before except when
playing the NCAA
Football video games.
Similarly, those games are the only
places Nebraska has seen a North
Division title since 1999.
As fans and players are well aware,
the Cornhuskers 34-20 victory
Saturday was a crucial step in retak-
ing the Big 12 Conferences North
Division and playing for a league
championship in December.
With one victory in their next two
games, the Huskers will punch their
tickets to Kansas City, Mo., for the
Big 12 title game on Dec. 2, probably
against a certain familiar team in
burnt orange.
The Huskers have made it clear
from the beginning of the season that
winning the North is goal numero
uno for this team. This weekends
victory will make that happen, bar-
ring an unforeseen loss at home to
a hapless Colorado team in a few
weeks.
So does that make Missouri the
biggest victory for NU Coach Bill
Callahan in his nearly three years in
Lincoln?
The short answer is no. I still
see Nebraskas win
over Michigan in last
years Alamo Bowl as
Callahans best of his 20
with the Huskers. Not
only was it an excit-
ing game featured on
national television, it
also returned optimism
and confidence to a pro-
gram sorely in need of both at the
time.
A victory against Southern
California or Texas this year would
probably have been viewed as bigger
wins on the national scene. But those
games, had the Huskers won, would
have been novelty wins against teams
who, right now, have more talent.
Winning convincingly against
Missouri is a sign that Nebraska
might, just might, become a more
consistent club.
That starts on the ground, where
NU ran 47 times against the Tigers
for 183 yards to dominate the time-
of-possession category for the sev-
enth time in 10 games this season.
Complement that with the effi-
ciency of senior quarterback Zac
Taylor, who completed 13 passes
in 21 attempts, and theres a reason
Callahan said his offense played the
best hed seen since the Colorado
game in November 2005.
All in all, not a bad day to try
ringing that old bell.

The sophomore guard isnt blam-
ing his poor first half on his All-
American status; Rush said he didnt
know about the honor until halftime.
Coach wrote press clippings on
the board, Rush said. I told him I
didnt know, but he didnt believe me,
Rush said with a smile.
Self blamed Rushs poor play on
not being mentally prepared. Was it
because of the teams distractions or
the fact it was an exhibition game?
Hes human, Self said.
Despite a slim 41-37 lead at halftime
and an otherwise less than spectacular
start to the second half, the Hawks,
behind the strong play of freshman
guard Sherron Collins, went on a 27-2
run midway through the second half
to put the game away. Collins, making
his first collegiate start in place of an
injured Mario Chalmers, led all scor-
ers with 20 points.
Collins said that the Jayhawks
defensive effort and the fact that they
pushed the ball more effectively in
the second half keyed the run and
helped put the Hornets away.
I thought he was pretty good
tonight, Self said of Collins, but we
wont dwell on the 20, because defen-
sively hes still got to get a lot better.

By RyAn SchneIDeR
Kansas defeated Emporia State
on Tuesday night 90-55 in its final
tune-up before
opening the regu-
lar season this
weekend. Here are
some notes from
the game:
Three
Jayhawks missed
Tuesdays game
with various inju-
ries. Sophomore
guard Mario
Chalmers didnt
play because of a sprained left toe.
Junior guard Jeremy Case missed a
second straight game with a pulled
groin. Junior center Sasha Kaun con-
tinues to sit out after suffering a knee
injury last week.
Chalmers was replaced in the
starting lineup by freshman guard
Sherron Collins. Joining him were
Brandon Rush, Russell Robinson,
Darnell Jackson and Julian Wright.
Collins ended the night with
20 points, four rebounds, two assists
and three steals.
Rush was named an Associated
Press First Team All-American
Tuesday. He is Kansas first pre-
season All-American since Wayne
Simien in 2004.
The game was a homecoming
for Emporia State coach David Moe.
He was a graduate assistant at Kansas
in 1988 when
the Jayhawks
won their
last national
championship.
Moe is in his
sixth season as
coach of the
Hornets.
Midway
through the
second half,
coach Bill Self
utilized a smaller lineup. Instead of
using Jackson or Matt Kleinmann,
Self went with freshman Darrell
Arthur and Wright.
Although the game was
announced as a sellout, more than
a thousand seats were empty in the
student section at the north end of
Allen Fieldhouse.
On his 21st birthday, Jackson
finished with 11 points and seven
rebounds.

fled for divorce Tuesday from

The Los Angeles County Supe-

Spears, 24, married rapper Kevin
Federline, 28, in 2004. They have a

an infant son who was born Sept.

Spears married Federline eight
months after ending a 55-hour Las

friend, Jason Alexander. Her sec-
ond marriage has provided endless
fodder for tabloids.
Calls left for Federlines repre-

It is important for us seniors; we
want to play for each other, Megan
Hill, senior outside hitter, said.
Right now, were just ready to have
that win.
To get the victory, the Jayhawks
will have to play a solid defense.
Colorados Amber Sutherland, junior
outside hitter, ranks third in the Big
12 Conference averaging 4.39 kills
per game. Ashley Nuu, Buffs senior
setter, leads the team with 12.32
assists per game.
Kansas Jana Correa, senior out-
side hitter, leads the KU offense with
3.93 kills per game, seventh in the
Big 12 Conference. Emily Brown,
junior right side hitter, helps the
offensive attack averaging 3.45 kills
per game.
Admission is free for students with
a valid KUID. In addition, fans wear-
ing blue will receive free popcorn.
Kansas will travel to Waco, Texas,
next to take on Baylor (16-11, 4-10).
The Jayhawks defeated the Bears in
Lawrence earlier this season.

AssOCiATED PREss
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Pro Bowl
left guard Brian Waters has sprained
ligaments in his knee but will not be
out for the year, Kansas City coach
Herm Edwards said Monday.
Waters, a key part of the Chiefs
offense, was hurt on the second pos-
session in Sundays 31-17 victory
over St. Louis. He appeared to be the
most seriously injured of five players
who had to leave the game and did
not return.
Edwards said he did not know
how long Waters would be gone,
but that he was not a candidate for
injured reserve.
I just know hes out this week,
Edwards said. He should be able to
come back.
Nevertheless, it was just the latest
blow to what has been for several
years one of the finest offensive lines
in the NFL. Pro Bowl left tackle
Willie Roaf retired just before train-
ing camp and John Welbourn, last
years starting tackle, is only now
getting back after a six-week suspen-
sion. Welbourn saw his first action
of the season Sunday, playing some
at left tackle and some at right, and
was beaten twice by Leonard Little
for sacks.
The victory was the third straight
for the Chiefs (5-3) and kept them
one game behind Denver and San
Diego in the AFC West. But it was
costly. Also leaving were starting
defensive end Tamba Hali, line-
backer Derrick Johnson and safety
Greg Wesley. Keyaron Fox, Johnsons
replacement, also had to leave the
game because of cramps.
Derrick Johnson has an ankle.
Hes questionable, Edwards said late
Monday afternoon. Greg Wesley is
having an MRI right now so Im not
sure about him, but I think hes ques-
tionable. Tamba will be probable.
Running back Priest Holmes, who
has been on the physically unable
to perform list since before training
camp with head and neck trauma,
was scheduled to see a neurosurgeon
last week. But Edwards said he did
not know what Holmes status might
be.
The beat-up line is certain to have
coaches burning the midnight oil as
they prepare for Sundays trip to the
Miami Dolphins. Because of injuries,
Kyle Turley started at right tackle on
Sunday. It was his first start since
an old back injury flared up several
weeks ago and benched him from
the left tackle spot where he had been
the starter.
Weve got some things we can do
there, Edwards said. Welbourn can
play there if we need him to. Well
have a staff meeting to talk about
some of these things.
Waters loss comes just as the
Chiefs seem to have found a nice
offensive rhythm. Tight end Tony
Gonzalez and running back Larry
Johnson, complementing each other,
have had huge games three weeks in
a row.
Kansan fle photo
Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle blocker, wont let the teams recent losing streak afect her play. The Jayhawks have not won a game in three
weeks, but are determined to ride out the season on a positive note.

Big 12 footBall
Wildcats reach bowl eligibility
By sTEVE BRisENDiNE
AssOCiATED PREss
MANHATTAN Kansas State
has returned to respectability
and bowl eligibility for the frst time
since 2003 in coach Ron Princes
frst season.
Among the 11 Division I-A
teams with new coaches this year,
three have better win-loss records
than the Wildcats (6-4, 3-3 Big 12).
Two of them, Boise State (9-0) and
Wisconsin (9-1) went to the post-
season last year.
Middle Tennessee State (6-3) did
not.
Kansas State won its only Big 12
title in 2003 but then went 4-7 and
5-6 in its last two seasons under Bill
Snyder.
Afer the Wildcats 34-21 victory
last week at Colorado, a .500 show-
ing in their last two regular-season
games would guarantee Kansas
State a winning record.
And if the Wildcats win out
and division leader Nebraska loses
its last two, and Missouri drops one
of its last two games the Wildcats
would fnd themselves in the con-
ference title game next month in
Kansas City, Mo.
Tat will be a challenge,
though, and not just because the
Cornhuskers close out the regular
season against woeful Colorado
(1-9).
No. 4 Texas visits Manhattan
this weekend, the Wildcats fourth
ranked opponent this year. Afer
that, Kansas State plays its regular-
season fnale at Kansas, with the
Jayhawks also fghting to reach the
postseason.

DANCING NACHOS
Replacing coach
wont resolve issues
Minutes after being dominated
41-10 by Kansas on his home field,
Iowa State coach Dan McCarney
walked into the interview room.
Im going to make a few state-
ments, then Ill answer any ques-
tions you guys have, he told the
assembled reporters.
The statements were about the
game. The questions were not.
McCarney, who is known in
Ames as Coach Mac, is the Big
12 coach most likely to be fired
after the season ends. The Cyclones
are 0-6 in conference play and 3-7
overall. While those numbers easily
make Iowa State the worst team in
the conference, firing McCarney just
doesnt make sense.
Iowa State Athletics Director
Jamie Pollard has said he wont make
an official decision until the sea-
son ends, and McCarney has three
years remaining on his contract. He
has been at Iowa State since 1995
making him the longest-tenured
coach in the conference.
Firing McCarney wont solve any-
thing for the Cyclones. It would just
make things worse.
In 2004 and 2005, the team came
within one game of the Big 12 North
Championship under Coach Macs
leadership. Now the fans want to run
him out of town? It raises an inter-
esting question: Who do Cyclones
fans think they are going to get?
Ames is not an exciting town.
Iowa State is the second-most pres-
tigious school in a state that doesnt
produce more than a handful of top
high-school recruits every year.
Iowa State is not one of the Big
12s premier schools. The Kansan
ran an article Monday detailing the
expenses and revenues of the confer-
ences schools. Iowa State ranked last
in both categories. The only school
that might trail it is Baylor, which is
a private school and doesnt have to
reveal those numbers.
To get a coach like McCarney,
who has stayed in Ames for more
than a decade, is rare. He may not be
Bill Synder, but theres only one Bill
Snyder available, and hes retired.
Perhaps the worst part of it all
is that this season isnt entirely his
fault. A combination of scheduling
and injuries doomed the Cyclones
season before it ever began.
After a nonconference match-up
against Iowa, the Cyclones first four
Big 12 games were against Texas,
Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas
Tech, four of the toughest teams in
the conference.
As for his team, injuries have
sidelined several key offensive
players, including star running
back Stevie Hicks. You try winning
against Big 12 teams with no run-
ning back.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino
sympathized with McCarneys situ-
ation.
I think theyve had some cir-
cumstances that put them in this
position that were beyond their con-
trol, he said. They fought to the
end of the game, which is a tribute
to Coach Mac.
Still, in this message-board age,
unfortunate circumstances dont
renew contracts. Victories do. This
is something Coach Mac knows.
This is not what any of us antici-
pated, he said. Its not like I havent
been through adversity before, so
Ive got plenty of practice at it.
Now McCarney enters his final
games, probably losses to Colorado
and Missouri, as a lame-duck coach.
If Pollard and the Iowa State staff
have any common sense, theyll keep
the only coach loyal enough to stay
in Ames for 11 years with the small-
est budget in the conference. If the
fans have any common sense, theyll
quit calling for the coachs head.
Well fight through this and try
to finish with our heads held high,
McCarney said. The fans deserve
better than what we gave them
today.
You know, after evaluating the
facts, Im not sure they do.

Iowa State coach Dan McCarneys future with the team is uncertain after a rocky season.
McCarney has been at Iowa State for 11 years and still has three years left on his contract.

Longhorns practice
Pilates for fexibility
BY WILLIAM WILKERSON
DAILY TEXAN
AUSTIN, Texas From the
gridiron to the Pilates mat? Dont
laugh. Chances are Longhorn foot-
ball players are on their way to
their weight room right now, mats
in hand.
It is a real good thing. I dont
know about the whole team, but a
lot of people do it, offensive tackle
Tony Hills said.
Its helped some Longhorns
so much that they do it twice a
week. And no, strength coach Jeff
Mad Dog Madden is not the one
orchestrating the workouts.
It is funny to see those guys
doing that stuff, Hills said. You
have 300-pound guys with their
legs behind their heads, holding
positions, shaking. You figure guys
that can bench over 400 pounds
could pick up their own body
weight, me included.
Hills said 6-foot-5, 315-pound
defensive tackle Frank Okam is the
most adept.
He is the most flexible guy I
have ever seen in the gym. He can
get down. I think he can do the
splits, Hills said. Brian Orakpo is
the least flexible. That guy there is
something else.
As comical as it may sound, it is
not uncommon for male athletes to
do this type of fitness activity. It has
been reported that Tiger Woods,
Jason Kidd and Curt Schilling have
used Pilates to increase their flex-
ibility and improve their posture,
balance and coordination.
I just knew it was good from
hearing other people talk about it,
said Hills, who measures 6-foot-6
and 295 pounds. Ive seen it show
up in games. Ive been caught up
in positions that I know had it not
been for it, Id have been hurt. Its
working. I recommend it.
Dont expect to see offensive
guard Kasey Studdard advertise
the program on an infomercial
near you.
Ive never done it by choice.
Ive always been forced to do it,
he said.

St. Louis falls to middle
of pack following losses
BY R.B. FALLSTROM
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ST. LOUIS Theres a perfectly
good reason for the St. Louis Rams
three-game losing streak to come
on the heels of a three-game win-
ning streak: Tougher competition.
The Rams (4-4) fattened
up on the Cardinals, Lions and
Packers who are a combined
6-18 before faltering against
the Seahawks, Chargers and Chiefs
a combined 16-8.
The end result: The Rams are
squarely in the middle of the pack
in Scott Linehans first year as
coach. Theyre a team with holes,
especially on the defensive line
and at linebacker as long as Pisa
Tinoisamoa is sidelined with a bro-
ken left hand, but with a produc-
tive offense that can score enough
to make things interesting.
Were struggling now, but Ive
been on a couple of bad teams
around here that have had multiple
injuries and collapsed on itself,
quarterback Marc Bulger said.
Were nowhere near that.
Theyre still in the hunt in the
NFC West, though, thanks to
parity. And veteran players can
remember a lot worse situations.
Last years team also was 4-4, but
won only twice the rest of the way.
The Rams will get an immedi-
ate opportunity to regain ground
on Sunday at Seattle.
Offensive guard Adam
Timmerman said theres plenty of
time to regroup.
