Parking
turns a
proft for
students
BY JESSE BROWN
jbrown@kansan.com
Home football games have always
been a big event at the University,
but with the teams recent bowl
game victories, Saturdays have
become even more highly antici-
pated. With more tailgating and
more people crowding onto cam-
pus, theres one thing that will be in
short supply at tomorrows game:
parking.
Some students attempt to capi-
talize on that shortage by charging
for parking in their driveways and
yards prime positions for tail-
gating and can make upwards of
$200 per game.
Alyson Lippert, Overland Park
sophomore, rents a house near
Ninth and Missouri streets and
said this was her first season charg-
ing for parking. The owner of the
house suggested to Lippert and her
roommates to charge for parking
to make some extra cash on game
days.
For me, it goes into savings,
Lippert said. I dont work that
much so I dont make a lot of
money, and so I need it for summer
and stuff that I really need.
Lippert and her roommates
charge $30 per car and make
between $150 to $210 each home
game. They split the income three
ways.
Joel Cundiff, Overland Park
senior, rents a house near Ninth
and Maine Streets and said he and
his roommates put the money from
parking to good use.
We use it to pay for our utili-
ties and the extra stuff around the
house, Cundiff said.
Cundiff said they usually made
$200 at each home game by charg-
ing $20 per car.
Cundiff and his roommates have
a verbal agreement with their hom-
eowner who only has one stipula-
tion: a parking spot has to be saved
for him each home game.
Joe Kieltyka, Cundiff s hom-
eowner, said a lot of homeowners
dont let students keep the money
charged for parking, but he said

governor Mark Parkinson said he would consider a newtax on tobacco products for increased revenue. Holly Cento, MissionViejo, Calif., junior, spends $20 a week on Camel Lights adding up to more than $1,000 a year.
Taxes for tobacco could rise
BY ALY VAN DYKE
avandyke@kansan.com
Sam Anderson, Lawrence
junior, said when he started
smoking his freshman year, Pall
Malls were $2.05
a pack. He buys
that same pack
today for about
$4.80.
However, if
the state deficit
doesnt get any
lower, that cost
could go up yet
again.
Facing a
shortfall as high
as $1 billion for this fiscal year,
Governor Mark Parkinson has
said he would consider turning to
a cigarette tax for revenue.
Proponents of the cigarette tax
tout added revenue, decreased
health care costs and fewer smok-
ers among the benefits of increas-
ing the excise tax.
The addicted, however, dont
see it in quite the same light.
I think its
bullshit, Holly
Cento, Mission Viejo,
Calif., junior, said.
She said shed
been smoking for
three years and now
burned through
more than $20 a
week for her Camel
Lights thats more
than $1,000 in a year.
Theyre making enough money
off us already, she said. Its not
fair for them to keep doing that.

Should the Kansas Legislature
approve another tax hike, it would
be the second increase in tobacco
taxes within one year, following
the 62-cent federal tax increase
this past April. However, a state
increase on the tax would be
Kansas first in eight years.
The states last hike in the ciga-
rette tax was in 2002, which raised

Efective Sept. 22 the Food and Drug Administration en-
acted a ban on all favored cigarettes, including clove, candy
and fruit favors. The ban is intended to stop young people
from picking up the habit.
According to the FDA, 17 year-old smokers are three times
as likely to smoke these varieties than 25 year-old smokers.
Alex Noor, the owner of the Tobacco Mart on 23rd St.,
received a letter about the ban about two months ago. Even
though he stopped ordering the favored cigarettes, he still
has some in his inventory. He said he was not clear on what to
do with them.
I guess were supposed to throw them away or destroy
them. Noor said, I dont really know.
He said he was not too concerned about the ban because
favored cigarettes only made up about 1 percent of his total
sales.

Recent assault gives good reason to review importance of self-defense
BY LAUREN HENDRICK
lhendrick@kansan.com
Its been a week of fright for
many young women living in
Oliver Hall, 1815 Naismith Drive,
afer a freshman woman was
knocked unconscious and raped
in her dorm room last Sunday
night.
Were all pretty scared, Diana
Milbourn, Plano, Texas, freshman
and Oliver resident, said. Mil-
bourn said she has been afraid to
go in and out of her room since
the incident occurred. Im afraid
to take a shower, she said.
Police said the student was at-
tacked when she returned to
her room afer dinner at about 6
p.m. Te victim said the intruder
grabbed her, pushed her against
a wall and knocked her uncon-
scious. She said she regained con-
sciousness about
45 minutes later
and reported to
University police
that she had been
sexually assaulted.
Te victims room-
mate was not in the
dorm at the time of
the attack.
Capt. Schuyler
Bailey, University
police spokesman, said students
needed to lock their doors at all
times and be good neighbors by
reporting suspicious behavior and
intruders.
In order to enter a dorm on
campus, residents are required to
swipe a valid student ID card dur-
ing all hours of the
day and night. Stu-
dents are required
to check in with the
residence assistants
on duty and present
their student IDs
between the hours
of 11 p.m. 7 a.m.,
as are their guests.
Milbourn said
she was concerned
that anyone could enter her dorm
throughout the day because peo-
ple who didnt live in the dorms
could easily follow an authorized
student entering the building.
However, Diana Robertson, di-
rector of student housing, said the
authorized entrance was efective.
Like any system, it requires the
diligence on behalf of those using
the system, Robertson said.
She said students needed to
be conscious of people following
them into the dorms and report
intruders.
Sydney Matheny, Dodge City
freshman and Oliver Hall resi-
dent, said even though she locked
her door all the time, she too wor-
ried that the entrances to Oliver
werent monitored throughout the
day. She said she was also bothered

the tax from 24 cents per pack to
79 cents. According to state bud-
get reports, the tax jump increased
state revenue to more than $129
million in the first year an addi-
tional $81 million.
Since that time, the amount of
money collected from state ciga-
rette taxes has declined. In fact,
approved revenue from the state
cigarette tax for this fiscal year,
which began July 1, is $102 mil-
lion, a decline of about 26 percent
from seven years ago.
Thats still double what the
state made before the tax increase,
said Mary Jayne Hellebust, execu-
tive director of the Tobacco Free
Kansas Coalition. But as econom-
ic times get tougher and federal
tobacco taxes get higher, smokers
are learning to either curb their
addiction or find other means to
alleviate their nicotine cravings.
Anderson said he started roll-
ing his own cigarettes freshman
year, both for the novelty and for
the decreased cost. Now he only
rolls when he doesnt have enough
money for the Pall Malls, which he
said was about every two weeks.
Three years ago, he said he
could make about 30 cigarettes for
$1.10. That cost has increased to
about $4.25, he said, but its still
10 cents cheaper per cigarette than
the ones that come in a box.
Part of that is because loose
tobacco qualifies as one of many
other tobacco products, which
also includes chewing tobacco. In
Kansas, OTPs are taxed, and have
been since 1972, at 10 percent of
the manufacturers cost.
OTPs are expected to generate
$5.8 million for this fiscal year.
Cessation
The deterrent effect the tax has
on smokers is one of the top ben-
efits of the tax cited by its propo-
nents.
Several studies have found that
a 10 percent increase in tobacco
tax reduces overall cigarette con-
sumption by 3 to 5 percent. That
number jumps to as high as 7
percent for minors.
When Kansas passed its
tax increase in 2002, the num-
ber of smoking adults ages 18
to 24 declined about 5 percent-
age points during the next year,
according to a survey conducted
by the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment. As of
2007, that number had declined
another 10 percentage points.
A Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention study found more
conservative results, noting a
12-percentage-point drop for that
age group in Kansas from 2001
to 2007.
Price is a strong deterrent
to smoking, Hellebust said.
Particularly with young folks
who have other things they might
want to purchase.
This has held true for Dean
Fessenden, Junction City senior,
who decided to kick the habit last
Sunday after six years of on and
off smoking.
Im broke, he said. Its too
expensive a habit for me to keep
up.
He said he started budgeting
the cost of his cigarettes $5.36
for his Camels with necessities
such as rent and electricity, before
finally realized he didnt have
enough income to pay for it all.
But for smokers like Anderson
and Cento, quitting hasnt yet
become an option.
Theres really nothing we
as smokers can do about it,
Anderson said. Theyve got us in
their evil clutches because of their
addictive chemicals.
Ken Sarber, health educator
with Student Health Services, said
he had helped dozens of students
quit smoking, but the main moti-
vator couldnt be the price per
pack.
There have to be more reasons
than just cost for people to suc-
cessfully quit smoking, he said.
The next legislative session
for Kansas meets in January,
at which point leaders of the
state will decide the fate of the
tobacco tax. Until then, Kansas
will most likely retain its place
as the 35th highest state tax on
cigarettes in the United States.

outside the 60-story Fountain
Place ofce tower Thursday,
according to a statement from
the U.S. attorneys ofce in Dallas.
The decoy device was given to
him by an undercover FBI agent,
the statement said.
Smadi is charged with
attempting to use a weapon of
mass destruction.
He was in federal custody in
Dallas without bond, said Special
Agent Mark White, spokesman
for the Dallas FBI ofce.
White declined to comment
on the specifcs of the case.
An undercover FBI agent
discovered Smadi in an online
group of extremists, according
to an FBI afdavit that did not
specify a date.
He stood out based on his
vehement intention to actually
conduct terror attacks in the
United States,FBI supervisory
special agent Thomas Petrowski
wrote in the afdavit.
Three undercover agents
eventually communicated and
met with Smadi over several
months, posing as members of
an al-Qaida sleeper cell, accord-
ing to the court documents.
Agents provided Smadi with
what he believed was a car
bomb but was actually an inert
device, according to Petrowskis
afdavit.
Smadi drove to Dallas on
Thursday, met one of the under-
cover agents and then drove to
the targeted building, the FBI
agent wrote. Smadi then alleg-
edly drove a vehicle with the
device inside into the parking
garage beneath the building,
parked it and attempted to deto-
nate the bomb.

BY ABIGAIL BOLIN
abolin@kansan.com
Standing completely naked in
front of a classroom full of stu-
dents is not a nightmare for Olivia
Hernandez its her job.
Models like Hernandez, a junior
from Baker University, pose nude
for art students in three-hour life
drawing classes each week.
Heres my naked body!
H e r n a n d e z
explained of what
she thinks while
posing. When
youre naked in
front of some-
one youre going
to have sex with,
theyre judging
your body. The
students arent
thinking whether
or not my boobs are big enough,
theyre observing line, tone and
volume.
Art student Katherine Perez
said the use of nude models is
extremely important for the edu-
cation of student because of the
level of difficulty associated with
the human form.
They are an irreplaceable
resource that is crucial to the pro-
cess of creating art and learning
technique, Perez, Wichita senior,
said. The human form is one of
the most used subjects in the fine
arts. If anything I respect them for
their willingness to put themselves
out there for the arts.
Lack of knowledge on the sub-
ject led to derogatory, lewd and
immature actions by students out-
side the figure drawing classes try-
ing to catch a peek of the nude
models, an assistant professor of a
life drawing class said.
Nude modeling is not synony-
mous with pornography, which is
a common misconception accord-
ing to Hernandez its about art.
At first my mom just thought I
just took my clothes of for money,
Hernandez said. After seeing
some of the artwork done of me,
her whole mindset changed. Its
art, its beautiful and it should be
celebrated.
Since the human form varies
from person to person, many dif-
ferent models are employed to
expose the artists to all forms.
A person must be naked to see
the differences in muscle tone
and bone structure, said Kent Van
Dusseldorp, a 55-year-old model
from Kansas City.
Because the
human body is one
of the hardest things
to draw, Dusseldorp
clarified, if you can
draw it, you can draw
most anything else.
Shannon Bybee,
the assistant to the
chairman of the
visual art depart-
ment, expressed the importance
of using live models as opposed
to other mediums for art classes.
She said a live person must
be used in order to capture the
true form of the human body
mannequins and dolls are not an
option.
Well Barbie is definitely not in
proportion, Bybee said.
Posing nude has helped
Hernandez learn some life lessons
and grow as a person.
I am extremely comfortable
with my body now; you kind of
have to be, Hernandez said.
One incident in Hernandezs
posing career helped her get over
any insecurities she may have
had. After going in to work not
feeling well, Hernandez passed
out in the middle of posing.
Once I blacked out and woke
up butt-ass naked with my head
in some random students lap,
Hernandez said. The paramedics
were taking my blood pressure
with my vagina in their face. That
taught me to be able to laugh at
myself real quick.

Two students pass out
after donating blood
A woman who could not be
identifed was taken by ambu-
lance for medical care after she
fell of of a sidewalk near Eaton
Hall just after 3 p.m. Thursday.
Witnesses say she had just
given blood.
She passed out and fell into
the bus lane, George Magnu-
son, Topeka senior said. She
was just standing there. She
turned towards the engineer-
ing complex and just fell over
backwards.
Samantha Strobing, St.
Louis senior, said she and other
students called 911 after she hit
her head.
She landed on the concrete
and hit her head, Samantha
Strobing, St. Louis graduate
student, said.
A bus driver who could not
be identifed said he pulled up
to the bus stop and could not
see the woman on the ground.
However, students were sur-
rounding her and made sure
the bus driver stopped within a
safe distance.
Jana Hodges, De Soto fresh-
man, also passed out Thursday
afternoon while in a chemistry
class at Mallott Hall about 3:30
p.m.
She said she thought it was
triggered by her walk from
the blood drive in the Kansas
Union to Mallott Hall. Hodges
said paramedics gave her fuids,
but did not take her for further
medical care. Despite the inci-
dent, she said she had donated
before and would still recom-
mend giving blood.

Pomeranian in dog
house for bad behavior
ASPEN, Colo. A Pomera-
nian has been kicked out of
a Colorado resort town after
getting in trouble for biting
and other bad behavior.
Municipal Judge Brooke
Peterson told the dogs owner,
Melinda Goldrich, that if the
dog is seen again in Aspen, it
will be rounded up by animal
control ofcers and put to
death. Goldrich was in court
Wednesday on a charge of
keeping a vicious dog.
An Aspen ftness club
employee says the Pomera-
nian, named Gizmo, bit her in
August while it was tied to
a fence. The dog served 10
days in an animal shelter.
Goldrich had been under
a court order to not leave
Gizmo unattended after the
dog bit another person in
February. She also was cited
in 2006 for the animals bad
behavior.
An out-of-town friend has
ofered to take the dog.
Pomeranians are long-
haired and small, typically 3
to 7 pounds.

POlItIcS
Schwarzenegger runs into party issues
BY JASON deAreN
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO At a third
anniversary celebration of the
states ambitious climate change
law, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger
on Thursday found himself fend-
ing off barbs by a member of his
own party former eBay CEO
and Republican candidate for gov-
ernor Meg Whitman.
Schwarzenegger, speaking to
the Commonwealth Club in San
Francisco, dismissed Whitmans
recent statements that, if elect-
ed governor, she would suspend
the California Global Warming
Solutions Act until its effects on
the economy are better under-
stood.
I would pay no attention to
this kind of rhetoric and look
toward the substance. ... This is
not a political issue, the gover-
nor said in response to Whitmans
statement.
Immediately after the speech,
Whitman issued a statement again
slamming the law, referred to as
AB32, calling it a job-killing reg-
ulation. She previously made crit-
ical comments in Orange County
on Tuesday, when she formally
announced her campaign for the
GOP nomination next year.
The global warming law, that
Schwarzenegger signed in 2006,
mandates that the state cut its
emissions of greenhouse gases 25
percent by 2020.
I reject radical environ-
mental policies that do little for
the environment and devastate
Californias economic future, she
said. Liberal environmentalists
may not like jobs or people, but
California needs both.

Former French president writes novel
BY ELAINE GANLEY
Associated Press
PARIS It was a passionate
but hidden love. The president
of the French Republic and the
Princess of Cardiff had no choice.
The Princess and the President
recounts the ballet of secrecy led
by a man of power and a royal
beauty watched by the world
whom the novels author, former
French President Valery Giscard
dEstaing, says is Lady Di.
But who was the inspiration for
the hero?
The book is a bold venture for
the 83-year-old Giscard dEstaing
whose stiff, pompous au revoir
to the nation upon his defeat
to Francois Mitterrand in 1981
remains the stuff of comedy rou-
tines.
A member of the prestigious
Academie Francaise, the watchdog
of the French language, Giscard
dEstaing has written books in the
past, like the weighty The State of
France or three tomes on Power
and Life. His new creation, in
bookstores Thursday, has taken
everyone aback.
Diana-Giscard. And If It Were
True, reads the headline of an
article in the glossy magazine
Paris Match whose cover features
the two standing in gown and
tux at a state affair in 1994 at the
Chateau of Versailles, their arms
touching.
Is art imitating life in the work
by Giscard dEstaing, who like
many other French leaders main-
tained a reputation as a womaniz-
er? The former president resolves
half the mystery in an interview
published Thursday.
He confirms that Princess
Patricia of Cardiff is, indeed, mod-
eled after the Princess of Wales.
He also says that he and Princess
Diana discussed his writing a love
story revolving around a world
leader. Their last conversation on
the subject, in June 1997, came six
weeks before her death in a car
accident in Paris with her lover
Dodi Fayed. The books dedica-
tion reads: Promise kept ...
I considered it a promise I
had to fulfill, Giscard was quoted
as saying in the newsweekly Le
Point.
This is a novel in which
Princess Diana is the main fig-
ure, Giscard dEstaing told Le
Point. I wanted to pay homage
by bringing her to life again and
correcting the image of a princess
he believed was misrepresented in
the press. I invented the facts,
he said.
However, Giscard dEstaing
maintains the ambiguity about
their relationship. He said he saw
her in London three months after
their first meeting like the story
says and afterward, we saw
each other numerous times.

Renoir exhibit to feature
works in classical style
PARIS An exhibit open-
ing Tuesday in Paris showcases
artwork from the second half of
Auguste Renoirs career, when
he changed course in his 40s to
experiment with a more classical
style.
Renoir in the 20th Century,
showing at the Grand Palais,
includes some paintings, draw-
ings and sculptures that are little
known to the public.
In the 1880s, Renoir moved
from the Impressionist school
to concentrate on female nudes
and portraits.

upporting local farmers, eat-
ing healthier organic foods,
being directly involved in the
community and tasting the best
hangover food on Saturday morn-
ings are some of the best parts of
the Downtown Lawrence Farmers
Market. Students will find that a
trip to the market not only supports
their community, but is a way to
absorb local culture and just simply
eat food that tastes good.
According to its Web site, the
market began on a Saturday morn-
ing more than 30 years ago with
as few as five vendors. It has now
grown to boast more than 80
vendors, and is open from the last
weekend in April to the second
Saturday in November.
Megan Paisley, who travels from
outside Lawrence to sell fresh,
homemade bread and
other products from her
own CraneRiver Farms,
said she felt the market
in Lawrence had the best
atmosphere in Kansas. Customers
here are so much nicer, Paisley
said. This doesnt feel like work.
She also said she liked knowing
all the other vendors had produced
the products themselves. Something
that makes the market unique is
that it is a producer-only market,
meaning the customer is purchas-
ing and interacting directly with the
grower, farmer, rancher or baker.
Along with traditional produce
such as tomatoes and corn, there
are a variety of unconventional
items ranging from elk meat, emu
lotion and babaganoush to pick-
led asparagus and fresh flowers.
Particularly for students who miss
Moms cooking, there are a variety
of prepared foods such as home-
made pizza rolls, mini baked pies
and fresh salsa. And its also a cure
for Saturday morning food cravings
with breakfast burritos
and sausage biscuits that
make McDonalds look like
something you would feel
bad feeding your dog.
Other benefits include
watching chef demonstrations,
such as Genoveses Chef Armando
Paniagua prepare gnocchi, and lis-
tening to local musicians while you
browse. Two musical performances
and one performing artist are
permitted per market day, which
means a wide variety of music.
The market is also reaching out
to the community by accepting
food stamps, and the Lawrence
Community Shelter residents oper-
ate a booth with their business
Good Dog! Biscuits and Treats.
LCS guests run all aspects of this
business, and proceeds go to the
employees and back into continuing
the business.
A new aspect to the market
began after a state law was passed
on July 1. Now, along with your
vegetables, Kansas wineries are sell-
ing local wine at the market.
The market does start early on a
Saturday, lasting from 7 to 11 a.m.
However, the food alone makes it
worth the early rise. The market
is located in the public parking lot
between Eighth and Nineth streets
and New Hampshire and Rhode
Island streets.
If it still seems too early, a
smaller version of the Saturday
market takes place on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. in the
public parking lot between Tenth
and Eleventh streets on the east
side of Vermont Street.
Set your alarm, plan for an after-
noon nap and make your way to
the Saturday morning Downtown
Lawrence Farmers Market. It is a
community experience with many
mouth-watering reasons to visit.

taint KU image
Its a crisp fall morning and
instead of the rustle of leaves
ushering in winter, all I can hear
are shouts. Its about 10 a.m.
and the football and basketball
players are at the peak of imma-
turity. Apparently round two
has commenced after the previ-
ous nights altercation that sent
Tyshawn Taylor to the hospital
with a dislocated thumb.
Im slightly impressed it
takes me a few hours in the
morning to rev up my gears
enough to be anything more
than placid. My overwhelming
emotion, however, is embarrass-
ment.
It seems that every media
outlet has caught wind of how
selfish and childish our athlet-
ic teams are acting. Its a poor
reflection of what this University
actually represents scholars.
The engineering department
and the English department
dont brawl in front of Wescoe
though I admit it would be
entertaining and they are just
as competitive as the aforemen-
tioned sports teams. Granted,
they have a smaller visible fan
base, but they are still compara-
tive.
What we fail to realize is
that all of the players on both
teams are KU students. They
attend classes, take tests and do
homework. They are all repre-
sentatives of the University and
should behave accordingly.
Unfortunately, as it pertains to
this incident, the national media
places a spotlight on the athlet-
ics of the University. The play-
ers who represent the Athletics
Department are delegates to the
reputation of this institution.
When representatives behave in
such a classless manner, they
damage that which they repre-
sent.
Im not Lew Perkins, and I
cant tell him how to act, but pun-
ishment is necessary. We cannot
let the nation think we accept
this behavior from students at
our university. Championships
and victories be damned, there
must be accountability for the
actions of our scholars.

R
emember gaucho pants?
You know, those pants
that made wearers risk
looking like a hippie or a pirate.
The must-have piece in the 70s
that somehow made their way
back into fashion a few years ago.
They were all the rage circa 2005,
despite that they didnt look good
on most everyone.
The world of fashion is a com-
plicated one. The industry can
be broken down into facets such
as designers, manufacturers, buy-
ers, seamstresses, marketers and
of course the fashionistas who
allow the industry to thrive. But
there is a dark side to the world
of fashion thats only goal is to
sell, and sell as much as they can.
They are the mass marketers who
produce trends.
Each season a few designs are
chosen to be mass-produced
must haves, only to be kicked out
of the style world faster than last
years Jimmy Choos. Trends are
designed for the now and are not
designed to stay in style for long,
forcing consumers to buy new
trend pieces every year.
Its easy to fall for a trend.
When an article of clothing has
been mass produced to appear
in every store, it seems logical to
own it. And now that the fashion
merchandising industry tells you
what to wear, its so convenient to
just pick it up and put it on.
The concept of trends is flawed
because its impossible to design
something that will look good
on every body type. Trends are
expected to be worn by the mass-
es, but, like all clothing styles,
they dont look good on every-
one. If you wear something that
doesnt work for your body type,
its not going to look right just
because everyone else is wear-
ing it.
Think before you buy. Before
spending your money ask your-
self, Will this trend last? Think
scrunchies. Yes, its fun to match
your hair to your shirt, but they
dont hold hair well and are a
little obnoxious. Its OK; I miss
them, too.
Timelessness, versatility and
functionality are characteristics
of trends that last. When celebri-
ties arrived at the 2006 Academy
Awards in gowns with pockets,
many viewers did not approve.
But once the convenience of put-
ting your cell phone and lip gloss
in a pocket instead of having to
carry around a clutch was noted,
pockets began, and continue, to
appear on everything from sun
dresses to formal skirts.
Think carpenter jeans. Sure,
theyre convenient if youre work-
ing on a construction site. But
other than that, whats the point?
Dont underestimate the power
of a trend. Slap a trusted brand
name on the most obscure thing,
and it will somehow find its way
into your closet. (I bet you never
thought fanny packs would make
a comeback.) Dont buy some-
thing just because its all the rage
your money is better spent
on something you actually like.
Never be afraid to go against the
trends; individuality is always in
style.

t began as a fun, seemingly
harmless way to waste a few
minutes. Log in to Facebook,
see what your friends are up to, find
out what everyone else you kind of
know (but never see) is doing, write
on a couple of walls and log out.
Since it opened its doors to any-
one with an e-mail address, however,
Facebook has become a juggernaut
in social media and now allows its
millions of users to post multimedia
on their own and others pages, chat
with each other online and even get
notified via Facebook when their
favorite artist is coming into town.
Twitter, a hugely successful online
community revolving around what
are essentially Facebook status
updates, has similarly enjoyed a
dramatic increase in users recently.
Twitter, like Facebook, also offers
its users an immediate outlet to
the world that is rarely, if ever, cen-
sored.
What Facebook and Twitter have
been so successful at achieving in
recent years has been allowing its
users the freedom to voice their
opinion and comment on or post
anything they please (for the most
part). It was for this reason social
media became an instant hit among
hip-hop fans and aspiring artists
across the country.
MySpace was the first giant to
surface in social media.This revo-
lutionary site made it possible for
people to communicate with one
another like never before.
Artists suddenly had the oppor-
tunity to increase the exposure to
their work considerably, and hip-
hop heads had unlimited access to a
seemingly infinite treasure trove of
new music, all for free and all with
the freedom to comment on and
notify others of the new tracks with
ease. It was a win-win for hip-hop
on both sides.
Facebook and Twitter have effec-
tively conquered the world of social
media, and the word of hip-hop is
spreading like wildfire. All it takes
is an artist to post a single link to
a download page and the frenzy
begins. One recipient tweets the
link to a friend or posts it on their
wall and all of a sudden astounding
numbers of people have access to an
artists work they would have never
had the opportunity to hear before.
Blogs, which usually all have
their own Facebook and Twitter
pages, have also had a great impact
on the hip-hop community and the
availability of new hip-hop to loyal
fans. Again, all it takes is one minus-
cule leak and the entire world can
have an album before its officially
released.
A recent and excellent example
of this is Jay-Zs new album The
Blueprint 3. It was set to be released
Sept. 11 but was leaking through
several blogs a month early and
had completely leaked about a week
before the release date. Blogs gath-
er the newest music released by
the most mainstream and obscure
artists and provide hip-hop heads
around the world with gold day
after day, and its all for free.
So subscribe to a few hip-hop
blogs, fellow hip-hop heads, and
stay current with whos coming up
in the game and doing their thing.
I recommend nahright.com, ons-
mash.com and fakeshoredrive.com
(a Chi-town hip-hop blog).

Woman stopped by group
of men on walk home
A KU student reported an
attempted sexual assault near
campus early Thursday morning.
The 18-year-old woman was
walking in the 1200 block of
Ohio St. around 2:45 a.m. when
she was confronted by three or
four white males wearing base-
ball caps, a police report said.
The woman told police the
suspects pushed her to the
ground and one attempted to
sexually assault her. She was
able to kick free and fee the
scene, the report said.
The police report said the
woman was not physically

Two rape victims sent to
Topeka for treatment
Two University students who
were victims of rapes Sunday
were told they would have to go
to a Topeka hospital if they want-
ed to have evidence collected.
According to a spokesperson
for Douglas County District
Attorney Charles Branson, four
victims of reported rapes arrived
at Lawrence Memorial Hospital
on Sept. 19. Three of these victims
were University students. Two of
these victims, including the stu-
dent who reported she was raped
in her Oliver Hall dorm room,
were told that they would have to
go to a hospital in Topeka to have
a rape kit administered because
there were not enough nurses
available who were qualifed to
collect this type of evidence.
Sgt. Bill Cory, Lawrence Police
spokesman, said that police were
involved with the collection of
sexual assault evidence, but that
they didnt provide transportation
to victims in all cases.
We are the keepers of the
evidence, so yes we are involved
in that process, Cory said.
Cory said police escort rape
victims to area hospitals on a
case-by-case basis.
Branson and L.M.H president
Gene Meyer met Thursday to
discuss concerns the district at-
torney had on this issue, although
it is not known at this point what
resolutions, if any, the two were
able to agree upon.

As soon as it happened two years ago as soon as Aqib Talib
picked of the pass and high-stepped into the end zone on that
strangely cool night in Miami the play settled into a part of
Kansas football lore.
Tat it happened on national television, for all to see, in the
tradition-rich Orange Bowl made it highlight-worthy. What
happened later made it classic and illuminated the mind set of
footballs most brash position: cornerback.
On the feld afer Kansas 24-21 victory against Virginia Tech,
Talib, who now plays on Sundays for the Tampa Bay Bucca-
neers, erupted into a soliloquy backed by an ever-apparent be-
lief in his own abilities.

Students should take advantage of ftness opportunities on campus
E
ven as a fifth-year senior
there are things I didnt
know about the Ambler
Student Recreation Fitness Center.
Chief among these unknown
facts is the offered service of per-
sonal training. The fair price of $24
will get a first time participant a fit-
ness assessment and one hour ses-
sion. Returning students are able to
sign up packaged deals at a reduced
price. The personal trainers are cer-
tified by the American Council on
Exercise. Being certified, trainers at
the recreation facility are allowed
to dispense advice on nutrition,
proper form and technique.
Other notable services at the
recreation facility are fitness classes.
Just like personal training, these
classes are led by students who
have gone through certification
and training to be eligible to work
at the facility. Some classes offered
are meant to refuel and recharge
the mind as much as the body.
For instance, yoga and pilates are
taught on Mondays and are great
ways to stretch and lengthen tired
muscle fibers.
However, those students look-
ing for a sweat will find plenty of
classes to tire them out. A new
class this fall, cardio cross train,
puts participants through interval
strength training mixed with high
and low intensities of cardio. Or
the internationally popular zumba
class may get peoples feet moving
to latin and pop beats.
I have to admit, I had always
known that students could swim to
get exercise but I never knew what
times students were able to use the
swimming facility. Unfortunately,
some students may not even know
where one can swim recreation-
ally. The facility in question is
Robinson Gymnasium which is
located behind the tennis courts
on Naismith Drive. Swim hours
are open to students and faculty:
Monday through Friday 5:30 p.m.
to 8:45 p.m. and Saturday and
Sunday 2:00 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Avid
recreational swimmers should
take note to check with the facility
ahead of time because swim meets
take place there.
Anyone who would take a stroll
through the Ambler Fitness Center
should take notice of fun diver-
sions like table tennis set-ups, two
racquetball courts and the popu-
lar basketball court. Also worth
mentioning is a martial arts studio
where members of sports clubs like
judo and karate practice their craft.
At a school where sports
excellence is celebrated and
well-entrenched in its history, its
refreshing to know that there is
workout facility where everyone
can feel like a champion.

Self, players address brawl, related behavior
By COrEy THiBOdEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
At 4:30 p.m. on Tursday, Mens
head basketball coach Bill Self and
a few of his players addressed the
media regarding the dispute earlier
this week between basketball and
football team members.
Sophomore guard Tyshawn Tay-
lor, who dislocated his thumb in the
scufe Tuesday night, is ashamed
and apologetic for his actions.
I am embarrassed about the sit-
uation, he said. It was a situation
none of us should have got ourselves
into. We embarrassed our cam-
pus, our university, our team- both
teams. Its a situation that shouldnt
have happened. Looking back at it, I
feel it was stupid. I wish I could take
it back.
He was not the only one taking re-
sponsibility for the stir. Senior guard
Sherron Collins was also aware pre-
ventative actions could have ended
the quarrel.
It was a group of individuals on
both sides who let egos and pride
get involved in something that could
have been resolved and made some-
thing small become big, he said.
Lots of questions were raised
about Taylors inappropriate Face-
book status updates, and he con-
frmed he quotes song lyrics and has
been for months. None of the quotes
he posted, Taylor said, were directed
toward any football player.
I made some comments that I
shouldnt have made, he said. It
wasnt my intention on it being bad
but thats how it was taken.
As far as more disputes in the
future, the players hope to have it
behind them. In a meeting with
football and basketball players held
by athletic director Lew Perkins
Wednesday, Collins said both par-
ties let everything go.
Self acknowledged Taylors ac-
tions were wrong. He knows him as
somebody contrary to what the last
few days have displayed.
For him to be portrayed as any-
thing other than a good kid, that re-
ally made an ignorant play on doing
that with his Facebook, Self said. I
think would totally be inaccurate.
Junior Center Cole Aldrich was
just as high on Taylors character.
Tyshawn is one of the guys on
the team that everybody loves, he
said. Teres not one guy on the
team you cant go up to, from the
top to the bottom, and say What do
you think about Tyshawn? Tey say
You know what? Hes a fun guy.
Self few in Wednesday night to
deal with the dispute, cutting short
a recruiting trip. He said it wasnt
the fact Taylor was injured that was
upsetting. It was the fact Taylor put
himself in the position.
Self would not elaborate on any
disciplinary actions, but made one
thing clear about the situation.
I will tell you this, he said, We
are taking it very seriously.

E
veryone is in the mood for
a fight these days.
It happens all the time in
sports. But does the entertainment
value outweigh the damage it does
to the integrity of the sport?
Looking at a couple of the
major sports, there are very few
brawls we remember fondly in
relation to how many there actu-
ally are.
Probably the most significant
of these was Malice at the Palace
between the Indiana Pacers,
Detroit Pistons and the fans. It
was bad then, but anyone who is
boycotting the NBA because of
that incident needs to ease up.
Ron Artest isnt going around
punching fans today or even
before or after the incident. Guys
can have hot tempers, especially
Artest, who is one of the most
physical players in the league.
Close physical proximity between
men is a good way to start an
altercation. But Im not making
excuses.
At the time, it hurt the game
severely, but a big part of that was
the fan involvement.
When kept within the confines
of the arena, some fights live in
infamy. Some of these fights can
lead to respect for an individual
rather than a blemish on the sport.
ESPN had a top 10 list of the
best baseball fights, and Nolan
Ryans head bashing of Robin
Ventura was ranked No. 1. The
fans general reaction was positive
toward Ryan because he handled
Ventura, who was 20 years young-
er, with ease, continued the game
and pitched a gem.
Hockey basically lives off these
skirmishes.
The NHL had to basically inte-
grate fighting into the sport since
that is what most people go to
see. Part of a hockey teams ros-
ter makeup deals with a players
ability to fight. A team will hire a
brute to protect their star players
from injury. Imagine what would
happen if every league did that.
Fights happen. Whether theyre
outside of the game or during, we
cant remember them all.
Lets not let these Jayhawk con-
flicts completely ruin the legacy
of the teams and the college. The
football team is having a great
start to the year and there are
enormous expectations for the
basketball team. These players are
also students and hopefully learn
from these mistakes.
Yes, a player was injured, but
the overall damage was minimal.
Hindsight may lead us to believe
this could have benefited the
growth of the players.
A fight in your own backyard
is a lot safer than one in someone
elses house.
On the lighter side of fisticuffs,
we all watch and laugh when the
mascots get into it because they
may or may not be serious. With
those suits, they hardly hurt each
other anyway.

McNabb to miss game
in KC over broken rib
PHILADELPHIA Donovan
McNabb is still not able to
practice and it appears unlikely
he will play this week.
McNabb, who sufered a
broken rib in a season-opening
win over the Carolina Panthers,
is expected to miss his
second straight game as the
Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) meet
the Kansas City Chiefs (0-2) at
Lincoln Financial Field.
With the Eagles on a bye
next week, resting McNabb
gives him more time to heal
before the Eagles host the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Oct.
11. McNabb was at Thursdays
practice, but only watched.
Third-year QB Kevin Kolb
started last week in a loss to
the New Orleans Saints and is
expected to start again.
Veterans Jef Garcia and
Michael Vick, back from his
league suspension, will be the
backups.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Josh
McDaniels decision to blow up
the Denver Broncos porous sec-
ondary and rebuild it through an
influx of free agents has benefited
the team through tighter coverage
and a tightening bond among its
defensive backs.
The first-year Broncos coach
brought in safeties Brian Dawkins
and Renaldo Hill, along with cor-
nerback Andre Goodman, leaving
eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback
Champ Bailey, who was injured
much of last season, as the lone
holdover.
The foursome has a combined
42 years of NFL experience play-
ing for 11 different teams but the
group has come together to be at
the center of Denvers defensive
turnaround in the opening weeks
of the season.
Going into Sundays game
against the Oakland Raiders, the
Broncos, who allowed 448 points
last season and ranked at or near
the bottom of virtually every major
defensive category, lead the league
in scoring defense (6.5 points per
game). They also have the AFCs
best turnover ratio, generating
five takeaways (three interceptions
and two fumbles) to one giveaway
(fumbled kickoff).
Dawkins, who became one of the
leagues premier safeties during his
first 13 seasons, all in Philadelphia,
said the communication among the
secondary, from practice to adjust-
ments made in the heat of a game
have been central to the units bud-
ding chemistry and solidified play.
The communication back there
is some of the best that I have been
a part of, Dawkins said. The way
that we talk in the back end makes
the game that much easier. Each
one of us, we each study film and
we may pick up different things
throughout the course of a week.
If one of us sees something, we let
everybody else know and correct
things on the sideline.
That is one of the things that
people dont realize. They say that
we are a veteran group, but we are a
veteran group with talent. All of us
can play ball. It is exciting to be able
to line up and look to the left and
right of me and see the playmaking
potential we have back there.
McDaniels said the foursomes
level of experience and the players
willingness to engage one anoth-
er and embrace the challenge of
coming together to forge a viable
secondary convinced him early
on that the radical makeover car-
ried low risks and the potential for
major rewards.
The more forceful, together play
by the secondary is grounded in
a common thread, according to
Bailey.
We have the attitude that we
want to win and were going to do
whatever it takes, Bailey said.

The resentment is clear in Lauren
Jacksons eyes at the mere mention
of Oklahoma State. After a bitter
loss to the Cowgirls last year, in
which the Jayhawks gave up an
equalizing goal with one minute
left and eventually lost in overtime,
the entire team is hoping for some
revenge tonight in Stillwater, Okla.
Jackson, a junior defender, called
that game a heartbreaker.
We deserved to win that game
last year, she said. Theres a lot of
motivation for me, personally.
Senior defender Estelle Johnson
agreed that the team has extra
incentive to win the matchup,
which is Kansas first Big 12 game
of the year.
We felt like we worked too hard
to lose that game, said Johnson.
Our extra motivation is getting
that game that we felt like was sto-
len from us.
But revenge wont come easy
against Oklahoma State, the defend-
ing Big 12 champions. Coach Mark
Francis said the game would prob-
ably be the most difficult his team
has had thus far.
Were playing the defending Big
12 champs on the road on Friday
night, he said. It doesnt really get
any tougher than that.
Kansas isnt short on confidence
going into the game, though. They
claim the best overall record in the
Big 12 at 7-1-1, while Oklahoma
State is 6-3-0, including a 0-1 loss
to Colorado in their conference
opener. The highlight of Kansas
non-conference play was a 5-0 win
over then-No. 18 San Diego State.
Johnson said the teams consistency
has been a major part of their early
success and would continue to be
imperative in Big 12 play.
We know that we can compete
with them, said Johnson. If we
work hard well get the results that
we deserve.
The Jayhawks will certainly have
to work hard to win against a very
athletic Cowgirl team, Francis said.
The teams main focus in prac-
tice this week was quickening their
playing speed, especially at mid-
field, to keep pace with Oklahoma
State.
Its difficult to tell how Kansas
stacks up against other teams in a
typically tight Big 12 conference.
But Francis said tonight will pro-
vide a good indicator for how well
Kansas is prepared for the rest of
their season.
I think playing the defending
champs the first game lets you
know right off the bat where youre
at, he said.
The game starts at 7 p.m., and
can be followed via Gametracker
on the Kansas Athletics Web site.

Jayhawks want to even score
with Cowgirls in matchup
By ANDREW POSCH
aposch@kansan.com
Womens tennis has defeated
UMKC and Saint Louis University
two years in a row. The last time
they faced Illinois State University,
in 2005, Kansas escaped with a 4-3
victory.
With all three of those teams
playing this weekend in Kansas
home tournament, the squad has
reason to be confident.
Its a good tournament to play
lots of matches and hopefully we
come out in first place, coach Amy
Hall-Holt said.
This is the first event for the
Jayhawks since the fall season open-
er Sept. 11-13 in Wilmington, N.C.,
which freshman Sara Lazarevic
called extremely tough.
Coach said that this tournament
should be a little easier than the last
one in Wilmington, Lazarevic said.
Weve been working hard in prac-
tice, so we all have the expectation
to do really well.
She said she hopes to use this
weekends match experience to bet-
ter prepare for the main season in
the spring.
A little easier still doesnt guaran-
tee a high finish, though.
According to senior Kuni Dorn, it
all depends on the day and everyone
still has to come out and be pre-
pared to work their hardest.
Maybe itll be easier, but you
never know, Dorn said.
Kansas opponents enter the fall
season after finishing in low spots
last spring within their respective
conferences with the exception
of Illinois State. The Redbirds fin-
ished in fourth place in the Missouri
Valley Conference. UMKC finished
seventh in the Summit League and
Saint Louis took 11th in the Atlantic
10 Conference.
Despite last years outcomes,
coach Hall-Holt expects every
member of the team to come out
and compete hard. The Jayhawk
squad hasnt played for almost two
weeks, so practices have been prepa-
ration intensive.
Weve been working a lot on
consistency, especially in doubles,
said Lazarevic, who will pair up this
weekend with sophomore Ekaterina
Morozova.
Some, though, have focused more
on their individual goals. Dorn said
she has been working on improv-
ing her anticipation and move-
ment with hopes of implementing
a more offensive game, rather than
being stuck on the defensive end
of points.
After that 12-day break, players
now have a chance to put their
training into action.
Play begins at 9 a.m. today at
First Serve in Lawrence, and will
continue at the same time Saturday
and Sunday.

Hope for victory on the road
friday, september 25, 2009
By Britt Beasley
bbeasley@kansan.com
People who know senior middle
blocker Brittany Williams say she
has an aura about her that is pres-
ent when talking to her.
Williams came to Kansas after
a long journey during her senior
year in high school. Williams, a
New Orleans native, was displaced
after Hurricane Katrina. Her fam-
ily left home and moved to Atlanta,
where she finished up high school.
Volleyball was the one thing that
stayed with her through her move.
Volleyball was my confidence,
Williams said. Its the same game
where ever you are.
She was actually on her official
recruiting visit to Kansas the week-
end before Katrina hit. Immediately
she fell in love with the campus.
Campus really sold me, she
said. It was late
July or early
August that I got
here and campus
was just gorgeous.
I felt like it could
be a home away
from home.
After Katrina,
Williams was
forced to over-
come another challenge. During
her sophomore year at Kansas,
Williams tore multiple ligaments
in her knee, forcing her to miss the
rest of the season.
I was actually pretty calm about
it, but then we started doing rehab
and stuff like that, thats when it
started to get tough. She said As
far as getting back on the court,
that was my number one thing and
I reached my goal and was able to
play the next season.
She had to slowly
go through the process
of getting herself back
on the court. She took
everything in stride
and made herself get
better. She worked her
way from walking to
running, then to jump-
ing just to get herself
back on the court.
Junior Outside
Hitter Jenna Kaiser had positive
things to say about Williams.
One word to describe Williams
is random. Kaiser said She is a
real burst of energy and is usu-
ally doing something silly to make
people smile.
Kaiser was also impressed with
how Williams took care of her
teammates.
Brittany has taken more of a
leadership role. Kaiser said.
Coach Ray Bechard had a tough
choice in deciding what one word
would describe Williams.
How do you throw energetic,
enthusiastic, and athletic all into
one word? Bechard said. I would
say energetic though. She is pretty
excited about life and each and
every opportunity. She is a really
good teammate. She is somebody I
really enjoy coaching.

The road is long and often dif-
ficult for a Big 12 team. Volleyball
is no exception. Kansas is coming
off a hard fought five-set victory
over Oklahoma and now will have
to face a ranked Baylor team that is
coming off of a sweep over No. 11
Iowa State.
Baylor has been playing really
good so its not going to be easy,
but right now we feel nothing is out
of our reach, said outside hitter
Karina Garlington.
Baylor (13-1, 2-1) also defeated
a then-ranked Kansas State team
this season and its only loss came
to No. 2 Texas in Austin. Kansas
(8-3, 1-1) will need to work on its
end game if it hopes to be success-
ful against Baylor.
Kansas has dropped several
close sets in its last two losses
when the score is tied up very late
in the set. Its not just about the
end game, senior middle blocker
Paige Mazour said, but also about
starting off the match and valuing
every point.
You have to take it point by
point and push the end game, said
Mazour. Its who gets to 25 first.
Kansas will also have its hands
full with Baylors setter Taylor
Barnes, who recorded a triple-
double in Baylors sweep against
Iowa State on Wednesday. Barnes
is often seen making key digs and
kills around the court.
Baylor is very physical and have
a very smart setter, sophomore
setter Nichole Tate said. Im excit-
ed to get going there.
Kansas must limit its errors
as the team is averaging over 30
errors per match in its three losses.
Kansas also must learn to win on
the road. The team went 1-9 last
season on the road in the Big 12
and already lost its first game on
the road this season.
We have to remember to play
our game regardless of the envi-
ronment, junior libero Melissa
Manda said.
Garlington said that there is no
reason that Kansas cannot win on
the road and the team needs to
take advantage of opportunities to
win some road games.
We are going to have to win
some big matches on the road in
order to be competitive in the Big
12, said Garlington.

Contract sets high expectations
By DOUG tUcKer
Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. One
game into his career as quarter-
back for the Kansas City Chiefs,
Matt Cassel finds himself sur-
rounded by skeptical fans and
critical media. The endorsement
he got this week from his head
coach?
Lukewarm at best.
Maybe its a good thing Cassel
never reads the newspaper, listens
to the radio talk shows or watches
sports on television. Otherwise,
he might get the idea that some
people are wondering if his guar-
anteed $28 million contract is
the reason hes starting against
Philadelphia this week and Brodie
Croyle is not.
I dont think a contract has
anything to do with it, Cassel
said Thursday, his appointed day
to speak with the media. I think
theyre going to play the best per-
son out there.
Thats exactly what coach Todd
Haley keeps saying, that his mes-
sage will be consistent with every
position regardless of how high
a player was
drafted or how
much his con-
tract might cost
owner Clark
Hunt.
In Cassels
case, however,
there is another
consideration. Hes known to be a
point of pride to general manager
Scott Pioli, who drafted him at
New England, brought him to
Kansas City and gave him the
first megabuck deal hes negoti-
ated as a GM.
But Haley keeps saying that not
even all that will buy Cassel one
extra minute to prove himself,
that quarterback will be evaluated
just like every other position as
he sets about repairing a fran-
chise thats won only two of its
last 27 games.
Youve got to ultimately do
what you think gives your team
the best chance to
win, Haley said. If
that means another
quarterback being
in there other than
Matt Cassel, then
sign me up.
Cassel insists he
sees it in no other
terms.
I think theyre going to play
the best person out there, Cassel
said. Obviously, I think they
feel Im the best guy for the job.
Otherwise, going into the season
I wouldnt have been offered what
I was offered.
If Cassel reaches every incen-
tive of the six-year deal, it could
be worth more than $60 million.
Obviously, I think
they feel Im the best
guy for the job.

WAsHinGtOn rafael Fur-
cal hit a go-ahead homer in the
eighth inning thursday night,
and the los Angeles Dodgers
beat Washington 7-6 to hand the
nationals their 100th loss of the
season.
Furcals drive of ron Villone (4-
6) was his fourth hit of the game.
ramon troncoso (5-4) pitched 1
1-3 innings to get the win, and
Jonathan Broxton fnished for his
36th save.
the win reduced the Dodgers
magic number to one for clinch-

the nationals, who were 59-
102 last season, are the frst nl
franchise to lose 100 games in
consecutive seasons since the
san Diego Padres, who dropped
102 in both 1973 and 1974. in
fve seasons in Washington, the
nationals already have matched
the number of 100-loss seasons
the franchise had during its 36
seasons as the Montreal expos
and that includes the formative
110-loss season as an expansion
team in 1969.

On Saturdays, with thousands
of people filling stadiums and tele-
vision cameras capturing multiple
angles, cornerbacks are exposed
like few positions on the football
field.
Only quarterbacks are more
closely magnifed and thats sim-
ply because the ball rests in their
hands so frequently. But even the
highly-scrutinized quarterback
position can get away with subtle
mistakes.
Ofen times, corners cannot.
With playing cornerback, if
you give up one, everyone sees
it, Jackson said.
Usually if a cor-
nerback messes
up, it results in a
touchdown.
Tose familiar
with the position
from Jackson
to much of Kan-
sas starting sec-
ondary say the
position must be
played fearlessly. Mistakes are go-
ing to be made and receivers are
going to make catches.
And everyone watching is going
to notice.
Te best cornerbacks, though,
toss the miscues aside, leaving
them in the past in order to focus
solely on the upcoming play.
Sounds easy, but with only 40
seconds between each snap, the
ability to cleanly wipe ones mem-
ory must be instantaneous.
Tey say you have to have a
short memory, senior defensive
back Justin Tornton said. If
something bad happens, you have
to forget it. Well talk about it later
and go over it in flm. But right
there, at the moment, its some-
thing you have to forget about and
keep playing.

Te general consensus entering
Saturdays game against Southern
Mississippi is that Kansas second-
ary will experience its best test of
the non-conference season.
In fairness, that same label was
draped on UTEPs ofense, which
did little to test, let alone chal-
lenge, Kansas during the second
game of the season.
But at the minimum Southern
Mississippis ofense possesses a
large, top-notch weapon. Sopho-
more wide receiver DeAndre
Brown is a 6-foot-6, 230-pound
physical wonder who caught 67
passes for 1,117 yards and 12
touchdowns as a
freshman.
Hes a big guy and
very athletic, coach
Mark Mangino said.
What he is, basical-
ly, is a tight end with
great athletic skills
playing out in space.
Te responsibility
of stopping Brown,
who is still returning
to form afer sufering a broken lef
leg last season, will fall upon the
shoulders of Kansas secondary.
Jackson and Mangino both said
that little will be changed to pre-
pare for the disadvantages ofered
by Browns size.
Te only change highlighted by
most members of the secondary
related to the supremely physical
approach larger receivers tend to
use during games.
If youre out there playing
timid hes going to think Tis guy
doesnt want to be physical and Ill
be able to push him around more,
sophomore cornerback Daymond
Patterson said. Im going to make
sure we tell coach that we want to
go at him even more.
Tis season junior cornerback
Chris Harris said the Jayhawks
have played a high-volume of se-
ries using man-to-man coverages,
meaning one defensive back is
saddled with the job of stopping
one wide receiver.
If that trend continues Saturday,
one of Kansas defensive backs will
be shorter than Brown by, at the
very least, fve inches.
When the balls in the air, se-
nior defensive back Justin Torn-
ton said, you have to press into
him a little bit and just make sure
you go up and get it. Because if
you dont, Im sure he will.

Te same season Aqib Talib
returned an interception against
Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl,
Chris Harris was playing corner
on the opposite side of the feld.
He was just a freshman then,
and was named the Big 12 Defen-
sive Newcomer of the Year. As a
sophomore, though, Harris played
so sporadically that he eventually
lost his starting spot. He said he
played with fear.
In the world of cornerbacks,
confdence is king. Without pos-
sessing that trait in large quanti-
ties, the position becomes nearly
impossible.
Tats the most important
thing, Jackson said. Confdence
is the most important thing. If a
cornerback loses confdence, then
it only goes downhill from there.
Its something Jackson preaches
to his pupils every day, and
something the position strictly
demands.
Tornton, one of Kansas most
versatile defenders, has played ev-
ery position in the secondary. And
hes played them all for signifcant
portions of time.
When I used to play safety, Id
say it was way harder than corner,
Tornton said. Ten when I start-
ed playing corner for a little bit it
completely changed my mind.
Tornton said that playing in
space increases the difculty of
competing tasks such as tackling
since the ball carrier has more di-
rectional options and subsequent
moves to choose from.
Most plays, then, result in a
one-on-one match up, either in
coverage or in attempting to make
a tackle.
Its pretty lonely during the
game, Harris said.
In the pass-happy Big 12, where
teams routinely use three and four
receivers, Kansas secondary will
be challenged and called up each
week.
Much of that pressure will rest
with the cornerbacks.
Its crazy because at a lot of the
other positions and you mess up,
it doesnt get noticed, Tornton
said. But when youre out there at
cornerback and a receiver catches
a ball, you miss a tackle, you make
a mistake, its out there for every-
body to see.
Every mistake you make is
seen.

Penguins player injures groin early in game
ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio Sidney
Crosby left the Pittsburgh Penguins
5-2 exhibition loss to the Columbus
Blue Jackets early in the first period
Thursday night because of a groin
injury that the team said wasnt
believed to be serious.
Crosby played three shifts total-
ing 1 minute, 37 seconds before
skating to the bench about 5 min-
utes into the game.
Its better to stay off it. Im hop-
ing for just a few days, Crosby said.
Ive hurt my groin before. Its not
as bad. I think I missed five games
with one last year. Its just some-
thing you have to be careful with.
Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma
said he wasnt concerned when
Crosby left the bench and walked
through the tunnel to the dressing
room.
It was more precautionary than
anything else, Bylsma said. Its
been tight for a couple of days.
Crosby hopes to play in the final
preseason game Sunday at Detroit in
a rematch of the last seasons Stanley
Cup Final won by the Penguins.
Tomorrow (Friday) I wont skate,
but Saturday Ill try to get on the ice
for however long and test it out, he
said. Its kind of a day-by-day thing.
Id love to play Sunday. Thats what
I hope but really dont know with
groins. Im cautious about it but Im
not worried.
It was sore. We all deal with sore
groins this time of the year, espe-
cially in camp. Usually once you
warm up it gets better. I felt it was
getting more sore.
He wasn't sure if the three-hour
bus ride to Columbus contributed
to the injury.
When youre sitting there its
tightening up, he said. Its prob-
ably not the best for it but I dont
think its the sole reason. It probably
didnt help.
Jakub Voracek, Derick Brassard
and Rick Nash each had a goal and
an assist, and Michael Blunden and
Derek MacKenzie also scored for
Columbus. Evgeni Malkin scored
the Penguins first goal and assisted
on Nate Guenins goal.
Columbus left wing Kristian
Huselius and defenseman Mike
Commodore did not play because
of the flu and might miss the final
preseason games Saturday and
Sunday.

11th straight loss
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND Justin
Verlander pitched the Detroit
Tigers closer to a division title
and pushed the Cleveland Indians
within one loss of matching a
franchise record
for futility with
a 6-5 win on
Thursday night.
Ve r l a n d e r
struck out 11 in
seven innings
and Carlos
Guillen had
three hits and
an RBI as the
Tigers handed
Cleveland its 11th straight loss.
With the win, Detroit moved
three games ahead of the idle
Minnesota Twins in the ALs
Central Division. The Tigers, who
have 10 games remaining, open a
three-game series at the Chicago
White Sox on Friday night.
The Indians havent dropped
11 in a row since setting a club
record with 12 consecutive losses
in 1931. They can match that
mark Friday when Baltimore,
losers of seven straight, opens
a weekend series at Progressive
Field.
Fernando Rodney
earned his 35th save
despite allowing a
two-run homer to
Shin-Soo Choo in
the ninth.
Verlander (17-9)
entered having lost
his last two deci-
sions, but he contin-
ued his dominance
over the Indians.
He struck out at least one batter
in six of his seven innings and
struck out the side in the fourth.
He won all four of his starts
against Cleveland this year,
allowing three earned runs in 30
innings (0.90 ERA).
With playing coner-
back, if you give up
one, everyone sees it.

A dazzling boathouse fully
equipped with a workout
room, fat screen TVs and
an artillery of boats and oars
overlooks the olive-tinted
Kansas river. It stands tall, an
anomaly to the surroundings
by Burcham Park in north Law-
rence a seemingly forgotten
wasteland of rickety train tracks,
gnarled grass, muck infested wa-
ters and a parking lot.
Tis used to be all that the
Kansas rowing team had. Now,
they turn the page with the boat-
house as the empowering symbol
to their transition. Te next step:
building a team.
Most of the girls on the team
had never done this before. Some
players said growing up they
were expected to play soccer or
sofball. Its just not as easy to
fnd a body of water, a boat and
an oar as it is to fnd a bunch of
girls with cleats, shin guards and
a soccer ball. So year afer year,
coach Rob Catloth must teach
a fresh batch of athletes a sport
theyve never known.
Its like learning a foreign lan-
guage, Catloth said. Youve got
to learn the nautical terminol-
ogy.
Ten comes the work on the
boat.
While rowing may look like a
grueling test to the biceps, Cat-
loth insists that the key to maxi-
mizing your physical potential
lies in the back muscles.
Were trying to improve tech-
nique every day, Catloth said.
Let it be awkward until its natu-
ral.
Sophomore Kathryn
Schoonover, who is rowing
for her second year, said the
coaches are well aware of the
lack of experience throughout
the team.
Tey really understand that
most girls have never seen this
before, Schoonover said.
With a group of such little
experience, the majority of
practices are held on the wa-
ter. Associate head coach Jen-
nifer Myers is in charge of the
novice group and she tails the
two boats of eight girls during
practice with her own motor-
boat, critiquing their every
move through a megaphone.
Everyones started in the
same position, Myers said.
Youve got to work yourself
up.
Everyone starts from
nowhere and works their way
to triumph together. Unity is
an integral theme to a sport
that relies on synchronization.
Together, the girls lif the
boat and take it to the water.
Together, they sit in the boat,
learning the sport with every
sweep, taking with them every
bit of advice they can garner.
Together the girls then take the
boat out of the water and clean
it. And afer it all, together
they get a cool drink and laugh
about it.
Being together almost fve
hours a day will get you close
fast, Schoonover said. If you
didnt like it, you wouldnt be
here.
Sitting around, cracking jokes
and stretching before practice,
the team collectively noticed
three naked people sitting on a
small island in the middle of the
river. One girl shouted, I want
to go over there! Te rest of the
girls pointed and giggled just
a standard day at rowing prac-
tice.
It is this ability to have fun
as a group that will translate to
success on the water. Catloth
said when everyone enjoyed
being a team was when you
began to row as a team and reach
unprecedented heights.
You defnitely have a stronger
team when theyre focused on
one goal, working towards that
goal, Catloth said.
Ten, the metamorphosis has
been made.
By the end of March, theyve
got to be ready to compete as
Division I athletes, Catloth said.

CoaCh Catloth says:
Waters not something you wanna fght. Youll lose!
Catloth preaches that the easier it is to row, the faster youll go. When one rower said
that she liked making herself work, Catloth advised otherwise.
Dont drop the hands down!
In order to maximize the use of the oar, it is essential to keep your hands elevated at
a certain position. That way, the blade of the oar strikes the perfect amount of water to
make your boat speed ahead.
Shoulders straight and level!
It is easy to let the power of the water take you over. By keeping your shoulders
straight, you are enabling your body to rely on all the right muscles and keep your oar at
perfect angle.
Dont let your back collapse!
While rowing uses all of the major muscles in your body, none are more important than
back muscles. By keeping your back upright and strong, you are getting the most out of
your muscles and making your boat as fast as it can be.
