AssOcIATED pREss
enrollment
KU sees
record
high in
diversity
BY JESSE BROWN
jbrown@kansan.com
Total enrollment numbers at
the University decreased by 1.2
percent this fall, but the percent-
age of racially diverse and interna-
tional students has increased.
The influx of incoming fresh-
men of diverse backgrounds com-
bined with increased international
enrollment at the Lawrence cam-
pus and the University of Kansas
Medical Center have made this
semester the most diverse student
body in University history.
The University of Kansas
remains a great place to be for a
bright, ambitious and diverse stu-
dent body, Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little said in a news release.
According to the news release,
14.3 percent of incoming freshmen
and 12.8 percent of the student
population as a whole identified
themselves as American/Indian/
Alaskan Native, Asian, Black, or
Latino. Only the Hispanic com-
munity saw a decline in numbers
of incoming freshmen, but there
was a steady retention in the soph-
omore class.
The total international enroll-
ment increased by 11.6 percent.
On the Lawrence campus, interna-
tional enrollment for undergradu-
ates increased by 22.65 percent.
According to international
undergraduate admissions, fall
2008 had 799 undergraduates.
This year, 980 undergraduates
came to the University.
Susan Tang, Hunan Province,
China, freshman, came to the
University with a full-tuition
scholarship and read about the
Universitys 96th national rank-
ing in the U.S. News and World
Report.
I like the place well and the
quiet environment here and peo-
ple are so nice here, Tang said.

students fnd time to exercise
BY RAY SEGEBRECHT
rsegebrecht@kansan.com
With midterm exams looming
ahead, every night before Kenzie
Cordt goes to bed she plans her
schedule for the next day. If the
day is busy, Cordt said, she some-
times has to let something slide.
But one thing she refuses to sac-
rifice is exercising.
Cordt, St. Marys senior, said
her passion for working out began
in high school, but staying vigi-
lant about exercising in college
has proved difficult and required
more creativity.
Sometimes, if I have a test or
something, and I dont have a lot
of time Ill take my flashcards to
the gym, Cordt said. Ill do the
stationary bike and study those
while Im working out or read
while Im on the treadmill. Even if
its just for 20 minutes, if I can do
20 on the treadmill and lift some
weights, Ill feel a lot better.
Cordt isnt alone in her struggle
to fit fitness into her life at the
University. Students across campus
who share her struggle are resort-
ing to alternative techniques.
Amber Long, fitness coordina-
tor for Ambler Student Recreation
Fitness Center, said one option for
working out in a short time frame
is express-type fitness, a tech-
nique where students stop trying
to always exercise the entire body
and instead focus on a different
muscle group each day.
Long said KU Fit classes tra-
ditionally run close to an hour,
but that these shorter, condensed
classes have become equally as
popular this semester among
students. The
shortest class,
C o mp l e t e l y
Core, runs only
20 minutes and
centers entirely
on exercising
abdominal and
back muscles.
Weve been
probably doing
those shorter
classes for a couple years, but its
something thats coming into the
industry more and more, Long
said.
One of the students who attend-
ed the Completely Core class
this week, Madeline Johnson, said
she especially appreciated that
the class was on Tuesday nights.
Johnson, Overland Park junior,
has class from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
performs Watkins scholarship
hall dinner manag-
er duties at 6 p.m.
and then sits as the
vice president for
an All Scholarship
Hall meeting.
On Tuesdays,
Im very busy,
Johnson said.
Normally, I like
longer workouts. For
Tuesdays, its nice.
Long said numerous exercise
options also existed outside the
gym for students pressed for time.
She said that most fitness maga-
zines, including Mens Fitness and
Shape magazine, included work-
outs that students could complete
in their apartments, and that a
variety of videos workouts are
also available.
She said students who pre-
ferred to exercise outside and
didnt have much time could try
interval training, a type of work-
out she said was shorter but more
intense.
Thats kind of just alternating
between sprinting and walking or
jogging, Long said. Youre exer-
cising at an intense rate and then
backing off that intensity to kind
of recover and alternating those
types of things.
Patty Quinlan, nursing super-
visor at Watkins Memorial Health
Center, said regardless of how
students exercised, they needed

Hanson to play concert after barefoot walk
campus
BY MICHELLE SPREHE
msprehe@kansan.com
Dont be alarmed when a mass
of people begin walking barefoot
down Jayhawk Blvd. Friday after-
noon, theyre doing it for a good
cause and a free Hanson concert.
Hanson, the brother rock band
that rose to fame in the 90s, will
play a few acoustic songs on the
lawn of Allen Fieldhouse as a part
of their Use Your Sole tour.
The tour is partnered with
TOMS shoes Talk the Walk cam-
paign which raises money for
AIDS research and donates shoes
to children in need.
Hanson is playing at the
Beaumont in Kansas City, Mo.
Friday night and decided to make a
pit stop on campus to raise aware-
ness about its causes to college
students.
It seemed like college campuses
were a really appropriate place to
be where people of our generation
are essentially taking time to figure
out what theyre going to do with
their lives, said Zac Hanson, the
youngest of the brothers.
Registration for event is free.
This walk is expected to have about
500 participants and is an official
walk on the tour but individuals
can organize their own walks.
I think people are saying to
themselves, I want to be a part
of things that matter, Zac said.
Were just inspired by the amount
of people who on their own have
gone out and hosted walks. Some
people have five people walk and
some people have 1,000.
After Hanson plays, the brothers
will participate in a short ques-
tion and answer session with the
crowd.

local, rural development
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican
Republic Authorities plan to
relocate soldiers and their fami-

are home to thousands of illegal
Haitian immigrants and increas-

Dozens of families will move
next year as part of a pilot pro-

a Roman Catholic Bishop who
oversaw his dioceses settlement
with victims of sex abuse is fac-
ing child pornography charges.
Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice Sgt. Brigdit Leger confrmed
the charges against Bishop Ray-
mond Lahey on Wednesday.
The accusations stem from
the bishops arrest following a
random search of his laptop com-

Spotlight on Organizations | KU Filmworks
BY tHea GlaSSMan
tglassman@kansan.com
Its already dark at 7 p.m. on
a Sunday night, and Oldfather
Studios, nestled in its own little
nook off the corner of ninth and
Avalon streets, looks completely
dead. Yet inside, the building bub-
bles with life and energy.
Seated in a makeshift screening
room, a large group of students
is laughing loudly at the flicker-
ing images before them, letting out
cheers of approval as the credits
roll and the names of their peers
appear on screen. Its High School
Movie Night and the members of
KU Filmworks have come pre-
pared. Loaded with films shot when
they were in high school, students
exhibit an array of movies ranging
from Spiderman PSAs to Dating
for Dummies.
Founded in 1999, KU Filmworks
was created by students who felt
they were not given the freedom
they needed to make the movies
they wanted. In turn, they formed
an organization that encour-
aged aspiring filmmakers to work
together and create any type of
project they liked.
You do what you want to do,
Jessica White, Topeka freshman
and Filmworks member said. If
you have an idea, you check out
equipment and make a movie.
While most members arrive with
a love of film, others find their
passion along the way. Before com-
ing to the University, Kim Lopez,
Bucklin freshman, changed her
major from film to history. And yet,
shortly after arriv-
ing, she had another
change of heart.
Being in
Filmworks remind-
ed me why I wanted
to be a film major
in the first place,
Lopez said.
And I pretty
much knew the sec-
ond I walked into
the door that I wanted to switch
back.
The group meets every Sunday
night at 7 p.m. at Oldfather Studios.
Every pitch night members pro-
pose a five-page script to a jury of
officers in the hopes of getting it
produced.
Groups are warned to be prepared
to answer questions, but those who
are veterans of KU Filmworks have
dealt with far bigger pressures.
While many attribute the suc-
cess of the group to its officers,
Chelsea Alderman, Lawrence soph-
omore and president of the group,
said she believed every member
was responsible for the continuing
effectiveness of the organization.
Its run by everyone, Alderman
said. Its up to
everyone to keep it
going.
Alderman does
believe, however,
that she plays a
main role in keep-
ing interest in the
group high.
I want to try
and do a lot of pro-
duction with them,
Alderman said.
This is really the place to get
over fears you have with working
with people. Because if you want
to have a film career you need to
know how to work with people.

The Wellness Resource Center
held an event yesterday to educate
students about the dangers and
consequences of having unpro-
tected sex under the influence of
alcohol. Students who attended the
event, called Alcohol, Intimacy
and Consent, were offered con-
doms and informational pamphlets
on how to increase personal safety
while drinking.
If people do choose to par-
ticipate in sexual activity, we hope
that they would take the extra step
to protect themselves, said Health
Educator Jenny Mckee. Its impor-
tant to know the possible negative
consequences when you combine
alcohol and sexual activity.
McKee said many students might
make decisions under the influence
of alcohol that they wouldnt have
made otherwise, like using protec-
tion or even having sex at all.
The next day you wake up,
and you havent gone through that
thought process in a sober manner.
You have to deal with it the next
day, she said.
The event offered Safer Sex
Kits, which included two condoms
and lubricant, as well as instruc-
tions for how to use condoms and
dental dams.
McKee said students who lived
in residence halls already had
access to these, and therefore had
access to the major components
needed for safe sex.
McKee said there were real dan-
gers to having unprotected sex. In
particular, certain sexually trans-
mitted infections, like HPV, HIV
and herpes, cannot be cured. In
addition, chlamydia can cause
infertility in women if left untreat-
ed. But she said infections werent
the only danger of mixing sex and
alcohol.
Annie McKay, assistant direc-
tor of the Emily Taylor Womens
Resource Center, cited a stagger-
ing statistic: one in four college-
aged women are victims of sexual
assault every year.
Unfortunately, sexual assault
will impact the majority of KU stu-
dents at some point while theyre
here, she said. We want them to
know that there are resources on
campus.
Although much of the informa-
tion was directed toward women,
the event offered brochures for
men as well.
McKay said the matter of sex
and consent was important for
everybody to understand.
The consent piece of it is really
on both men and women, she said.
And also, so were not exclusively
heterosexual about it, its been in
queer relationships as well.
Ashley DeSandre, Pocono Lake,
Penn., junior, has worked for the
Wellness Center for three years.
She said students were usually
surprised by these facts.
I dont think people really
think of it on a serious level,
she said. When they see those
stats, I think people are like, Wow,
really? This is a big deal. It really
does bring it home and I think
it will make them more aware of
their situations.
McKee said she thought stu-
dents appreciated knowing that
they had resources on campus and
within the community.
Alcohol and sex are two of the
most prevalent health-related con-
cerns that college students have,
she said.
Knowing that someone is out
there to help you us or the
Emily Taylor Womens Resource
Center I think it gives students
a peace of mind.

the International Recruitment
Advisory Committee, of which
she is a chair member, works on
ways to advertise the University
to diverse students. The commit-
tee reaches international students
by buying space on Web sites that
cater to them. It also sets up tables
at fairs in international countries.
We try to keep on the radar
screen through e-mail and net-
working, Johnston said. We
want them to know about KU
and encourage students on com-
ing here.
Johnston said that most stu-
dents of diverse cultures came to
the University because of strong
word-of-mouth through friends
or family and that it gave them a
sense of comfort.
Anne Stahr, orientation coordi-
nator for ISSS, said that she helped
international students with the
registration process and that there
were definitely more students who
came this fall as compared to last
fall.
Juan Izaguirre, assistant direc-
tor of the Office of Multicultural
Affairs, said it works with the
admissions office to recruit
diverse students to the University
by assisting them with hosting
events and symposiums.
I think its great, Izaguirre said.
It shows KU is deeply devoted
and dedicated to recruiting stu-
dents across the country, across
the world, across the state.

to work out regularly.
Our formative years are
through our early 20s, Quinlan
said. Once somebody gets
into an exercise habit, and they
feel the benefits, the increased
energy, the less stress, they
feel better about themselves
because their clothes fit better.
Thats a positive reinforcement
to continue that throughout
life.
Chris Crandall, professor of
psychology, said studies have
proved that students who set
aside their books to condition
their bodies on a regular basis
also can experience useful
benefits for when they return
to their studies.
With respect to people
who are distractible, exercise
can reduce your distractibil-
ity because being a little bit
tired actually helps you focus,
Crandall said. Its not a cure,
but it does help.
Crandall said the time it
took to achieve these benefits
in a workout was minimal
30 minutes to an hour is all
thats needed.
Cordt said the benefits she
received from her daily exer-
cise at the University have
been invaluable.
I think during college, thats
a necessity because youre con-
stantly straining yourself on
doing homework and study-
ing, Cordt said. It helps with
schoolwork and attention. I
just feel better, and I feel like
Im doing better in school.

which donates one pair of shoes to
those in need for each pair that is
purchased.
I think its just awesome that
its one for one, so its not like if
you buy 10 pairs of shoes, they
donate one, its one per pair of
shoes, Mahon said. Theyre not
motivated by money at all, theyre
motivated by doing good for other
kids who are in need.
Bailey Perkins, Wichita junior,
was also inspired by TOMS busi-
ness plan and she planned to take
the walk on Friday.
I just thought that was a pretty
cool idea and having a shoe affect
a persons life its pretty emo-
tional, Perkins said.
Though she said she liked the
idea behind TOMS shoes, Perkins
wont be able to own a pair until
later this month when TOMS
comes out with her size.
I first heard about TOMS over a
year ago and Ive just been waiting,
Perkins said. I plan to own more

Wellness center educates
on alcohol and sex safety
BY ALEX GARRISON

Water rushed down West
Campus road after a water-main
break Wednesday.
I was just walking to class, but
I couldnt cross the street because
there was so much water, Katie
Summers, Tulsa junior, said.
In the meantime, the water-
main break caused two campus
buildings, one fraternity and sev-
eral off-campus houses to go with-
out water for about seven hours.
Some of those affected seemed to
take it in stride.
At least its a nice day for a
walk, said Ola Faucher, direc-
tor of the department of human
resources and equal opportunity,
whose office is in one of the build-
ings without water.
Faucher and her co-work-
ers walked from their office in
Carruth-OLeary Hall to the
Jayhawk Bookstore to use the
restroom or get water throughout
the morning.
The break occurred at about
7 a.m. at Stratford and West
Campus roads. Carruth-OLeary
Hall, Joseph R. Pearson Hall and
Delta Chi were all without water
from about 7 a.m. until about 2
p.m.
Janette Klamm, utilities pro-
grams manager for the city of
Lawrence, said she did not know
the exact cause of the break,
which she said was relative-

However, the boot camp is not
all doom and gloom. Senior guard
Mario Little provides much needed
humor. Reed said Littles stomach
does not respond well to mornings.
He will occasionally visit the bath-
room during practice and have to
make up the sprints he missed.
It just cracks me up because
Marios always got some ailment or
something not feeling right with his
stomach, Reed said.
If you know Mario, hes a funny
character, Morningstar said. Hell
say some off the wall stuff that you
wont expect which makes everyone
start laughing.
The intense and early mornings
also take a toll on the teams energy
during the day. Most have early
classes and few have time for mid-
day rests. With a tumultuous fresh-
man schedule as well as tutoring,
Johnson found a way to sneak in his
first nap Tuesday and he found it
accomplished very little.
Today was the first time I was
able to go take a nap for about 40
minutes and I dont feel like I went
to sleep, he said. It felt like I just
blinked and got right back to the
day.
Senior guard Sherron Collins,
freshman guard Xavier Henry and
sophomore forward Marcus Morris
have all impressed their teammates
so far, but the boot camp has yet
to yield any significant standouts.
The whole team is standing out
together.
I think everyone has had a
good two days, Morningstar
said. Theres not one player thats
holding us down.

I dont know if thats what you
wanted to hear but thats the way I
see it. Thats the difference between
winning and losing in a lot of cases.
Its also the difference in a coach
keeping his job
and being fired.
In case youre
wondering how
one of Kansas
footballs most rec-
ognizable figures
can so unabash-
edly support the
same school that
fired him twice
Fambrough says
its not hard.
Sure, there were times when he
was frustrated with the hand he was
dealt as a head coach. But thats well
past him now, only remaining as a
distant memory.
After all, Fambrough said, hes
still a Jayhawk.
I always say that Im probably the
only coach that ever got fired twice
from the same school, Fambrough
said. And thats not a record that
you want to have. Has that turned
me against the University? No,
absolutely not.
nnn
For a couple days a few years
back, something wasnt right. There
were pads, whistles blowing and
football players zigzagging across
the field. From an outsiders per-
spective, it looked much the same
as any other practice.
But it wasnt.
Ryan Cantrell said something
or rather, someone was miss-
ing. Fambrough, who Cantrell said
nearly suffered a heat stroke dur-
ing an exceptionally hot stretch
of weather, wasnt able to attend
practice that week.
Its just weird when hes not out
there because hes been such a big
part of KU football for so long,
Cantrell said. If you met him once,
he remembered your name. It didnt
matter what position you were. You
were there, you were wearing the
uniform and he loved
you for that.
Cantrell stepped
onto Kansas campus
six years ago with
little perspective.
He was a Texas boy
who knew little about
Kansas vs. Missouri,
about any rivalries
really, and back then
he didnt really care.
Then Cantrell met Fambrough,
perhaps the most passionate par-
ticipant of the Border Showdown
between Kansas and Missouri.
For years, Fambrough has deliv-
ered a pregame motivational mes-
sage before the Jayhawks play the
Tigers. And with each year the tales
of Fambroughs
talks grows a little
more.
His speeches
before Missouri
are absolutely leg-
endary, Cantrell
said. He called
me out one year
and he was saying,
Damnit Cantrell,
it was your damn
uncle that came
over here and burned down this
city!
Added Allen, who also allowed
Fambrough to speak before
Missouri games: It sent goose
bumps up and down everyone who
listened to him. He has a great
passion for the rivalry and a great
love for Kansas. He could have con-
vinced you that Quantrill played
for Missouri.
On most days, though,
Fambrough is more than happy to
be on the sideline, simply observing
Kansas players during practice.
But theres more to the story than
a love for football.
For Fambrough, who has been
so heavily involved in football
throughout his life and who has
been long removed from his coach-
ing days the ability to remain
around the game means more than
simply watching football.
For an old man and an old coach,
that means a lot, Fambrough said.
This is the team and the school
that I dearly love. I wouldnt ever
want to be anywhere else. From
somebody coming from Texas,
thats speaking pretty good words.
While Fambrough is walking
back toward Memorial Stadium
one morning, a man in a Kansas
football shirt walks up and intro-
duces himself.
The man is giddy, saying its a
pleasure to meet such a Kansas
football legend. He then points to
a nearby apartment
complex.
If youre here
before the game
Coach, youre more
than welcome to stop
by our tailgate if you
want, the man says.
Fambrough laughs,
pats the man on the
back and graciously
says hell be there
on Saturday. Its all
part of the connection between
Fambrough and the football pro-
gram.
The way that he portrays being
a Kansan, its almost like well take
anybody. Thats the mind-set of the
whole football team, Cantrell said.
As soon as youre there, youre a
Kansan, youre a Jayhawk. He had
that ability to bring you along and
really make you feel like you were
home.

Bradshaw joins injured list
ASSOCIATED PRESS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.
The banged-up New York Giants
have another injury to worry
about.
With 10 players already on
their injury report, coach Tom
Coughlin found a new name
on the list Wednesday: backup
halfback Ahmad Bradshaw, who
rushed for 104 yards in New
Yorks 24-0 win over Tampa Bay
this past weekend.
Bradshaw walked to practice
wearing a boot on his right foot
to protect sprains to his ankle and
foot. He did not work out.
Its an old college injury,
Bradshaw said, remembering his
initial injury a high ankle sprain
came on a toss play during his
freshman year at Marshall.
You know what, I have played
through a lot of pain during
college, when I first injured it,
Bradshaw said. I have just been
able to do that ever since. It always
hurts during the game. There is
a lot of pounding in the game,
somebody might fall on it a dif-
ferent way.
Bradshaw said the injury forced
him to miss two games as a fresh-
man, but he has dealt with the
pain ever since.
I do a lot of cutting and I am
always on the edge of my feet and
it is a lingering thing for a running
back, said Bradshaw, adding the
pain he was feeling Wednesday
was nothing compared to what he
felt in college.
While the Giants remain opti-
mistic Bradshaw will play, the
reality is that most players who
have missed practice this season
have not played on Sundays.
If thats the case, free agent
Gartrell Johnson would back up
Jacobs. He was signed a week into
the season after Danny Ware dis-
located his elbow on the opening
kickoff in the season opener.

if he sometimes catches himself
daydreaming of Steve nash and
amare Stoudemire executing the

When he opens them again, he
sees a new york Knicks team that
is given little chance of winning
big this season.
yet Dantoni vows to stay
patient and positive.
you have to have a plan,
Dantoni said Wednesday.
the plan mike Dantoni alluded
to was the Knicks goal of being in
position to make a run at lebron
James or some other free agent
next summer, when a deep class
of free agents will be available. to
do that, they traded away their
top two scorers, then did little to
upgrade this summer, choosing
to save their money instead.

BY ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
Ben Froidevaux, standing only
5 feet 7 inches tall, is not the most
intimidating person at first glance.
So when the 1988 Kansas graduate
enters the weapons competition of
Kobudo, he uses the Bo, a six-foot-
tall wooden staff.
In the minds of the judges, if
you use a bigger weapon you appear
very large and powerful, he said.
In August Froidevaux won two
gold medals in karate at the State
Games of America in the male
kobudo (weapons) 18+ advanced
and male kata (forms) 35+ advanced
sections.
The scoring is based on a 1-10
scale, but participants usually see
their scores in the high sixes or low
sevens. Froidevaux received a highly
unusual 8.0 from one judge.
Froidevaux was an active mem-
ber of the Universitys Karate
Club. However, when he moved
to Switzerland after graduation he
couldnt find a place to study karate,
so he took up Judo.
A lot of martial arts tend to be
very static in their way of thinking,
he said. I try to train in other sports
such as fencing, yoga, and aerobics
to find universal truths to help out
my competitive sports.
Now he is the leader of the Karate
Club at the University of Wyoming
in Laramie, Wyo.
As leader of the club, Froidevaux
is able to pass on his knowledge
to younger competitors. Zhuxian
Zhou, one of his students, won a
gold medal at the 2008 western
regional state games.
The biggest thing that I learned
from Froidevaux is his strong spirit,
Zhou said. A lot of times back home
I would want to stop when tired, but
here because of the strong spirit I
am not tired.
Another of his pupils, Yan Ma,
also known as Viva, said learning
karate from Froidevaux has helped
her in her outside life as well.
The really hard training helps
me overcome my tough problems,
she said. Over the summer I was in
a car accident, but my good physical
condition and good reflexes helped
me to avoid major injury.
In addition to being great exer-
cise and fitness, karate has helped
Froidevaux in other ways.
What you learn in training is
how to fall, not be afraid of falling,
and use the ground as your friend,
he said.
But the most important thing to
take away, according to Froidevaux,
is good character, good spirit and
respect.

NEW YORK Te teams are
set, one from the Big East, one
from the Big 12. Te site: Te new
$1.5 billion Yankee Stadium.
Now all the new bowl game in
the Bronx needs is a name before
its debut in December 2010.
If youre looking for sugges-
tions, maybe we should call it
the Jeter Bowl, Bronx Borough
president Ruben Diaz Jr. said
Wednesday at a news conference
to announce the bowl.
Te leagues and the New York
Yankees have a four-year agree-
ment in place, running through
the 2013 season.
Te payout to each team will
be about $2 million. For the Yan-
kees, they get another event they
hope will fll their 57,545-seat
stadium.
Te game underscores our
promise to use Yankees Stadium
year-round, said Yankees presi-
dent Randy Levine, who presided
over a gathering at the stadium
that included Mayor Michael
Bloomberg, Yankees managing
general partner Hal Steinbrenner
and the commissioners from each
conference.
Te Yankees had already struck
a deal with Army for the Black
Knights to play four regular-sea-
son games at the stadium in the
next fve years.
Tat starts next
season with a
game against Notre
Dame.
Te Big East will
send either its third
or fourth selection
to the Yankee Sta-
dium bowl game.
Te Big 12 will
send its seventh
selection. If the Big 12 does not
have enough bowl eligible teams,
Notre Dame has agreed to take its
place, providing it is available.
Te game will be played be-
tween Christmas and New Years
Day.
Te Big East was a logical ft
for the game.
Tough the league has become
more far-fung in recent years
with the additions of South Flor-
ida, Cincinnati and Louisville,
its roots run throughout the Big
Apple.
Te Big East has long time
recognized New York city as its
home, Big East commissioner
John Marinatto said.
Te Big East has been play-
ing its basketball tournament at
Madison Square Garden since
1983.
Big 12 commissioner Dan Bee-
be said that the Bronx bowl was
a late addition
to the Big 12s
schedule, but it
was too good to
pass up.
Tis is an op-
portunity to put
our brand, our
football, in the
biggest market
in the world, he
said.
Te Independence Bowl in
Shreveport, La., was bumped
from the conferences bowl lineup
to make room.
Te Yankee Stadium game
has no title sponsor yet, though
Levine said several of the com-
panies that already have rela-
tionships with the Yankees have
shown interest.
Considering signs for Mas-
ter Card, State Farm, Gatorade,
Pepsi and Sony
adorn the outfeld
walls at Yankee
Stadium, sponsor-
ship should not be
a problem.
Te game does
not have a televi-
sion home yet, but
if nobody is in-
terested which
is unlikely the
Yankees YES network could step
in.
Te game needs to be certifed
by the NCAA in April, but thats
a formality.
Tis will be the frst bowl game
played in the Northeast since the
1981 Garden State Bowl at Giants
Stadium located in East Ruther-
ford, N.J.
Most bowls are played in cities
with mild or warm weather or in
domes.
Te Humanitarian Bowl in
Boise, Idaho, is the most obvious
exception, though it can get chilly
in places such as Nashville, Tenn.,
and Dallas around the holiday
season.
Still, the teams invited to the
Yankee Stadium bowl and
their fans better bring their
scarves.
Ive played games in snow and
ice, and its fun, Beebe said. Te
opportunity for
our youngsters to
come here, wheth-
er there is snow or
ice or whatever, to
come to the big-
gest market in the
world ... is too
great to pass up.
Well play in
whatever condi-
tions. Well put ice
skates on instead of cleats.
Te original Yankee Stadium
was home of the NFLs Giants
from 1956-73 and the site of col-
lege football games, many involv-
ing some of the greatest Army
and Notre Dame teams, from the
early-to-mid 1900s.
Te Gotham Bowl was played
there in 1962. Nebraska, now a
member of the Big 12, beat Mi-
ami 36-34.
With the return of college
football, Bloomberg said that he
is hoping for a couple of tickets
to the game, no matter how cold
it gets.
Whats strange is football in
warm weather, he said. Tis is
a sport where youve got to go out
there and bundle up. Tats part
of the fun of it.

Volleyball

The Kansas Volleyball team
continued its hot streak at home
defeating Colorado Wednesday
night. Kansas improved to 9-5
(2-2) while Colorado fell to 5-9
(0-5). Kansas is now 4-1 at home
this season.
Coach Ray Bechard said that
winning at home was very impor-
tant to staying strong in the Big
12 Conference, but that the team
needed some wins against stron-
ger opponents. Kansas will have
a chance to do this Saturday in its
game at Texas A&M.
Junior libero Melissa Manda led
the team with 21 digs. This brought
up her career digs to 1015 now
eighth all-time at Kansas. Junior
outside hitter Karina Garlington
led Kansas with 15 kills after miss-
ing last weeks game at Baylor.
Kansas came out strong in the
first set only to let Colorado tie it
up 21-21 late. In the end, Kansas
finished strong and won the set
25-23. The second set started
even, but Colorado rallied early
and held onto its lead to win its
first set in Big 12 play.
Kansas rebounded and quickly
won the third set, 25-19, without
much trouble. Kansas scored eight
straight points midway through
the fourth set to gain a command-
ing lead. Colorado then scored six
straight of its own late, but still
won the set convincingly 25-19
despite 10 errors in the set by
Kansas.

ast week, more than 1,000
University students stepped
up to save a life. For all of
them, it was as easy as donating a
single pint of blood to save nearly
three lives. Though students should
be lauded for their efforts, one
outdated donation rule needs to be
re-examined.
It is a single rule in a long list
of Red Cross guidelines, but its
wording influences numerous
people: If you are a male who has
had sexual contact with another
male, even once, since 1977, you
are not allowed to donate blood.
Established in 1992, this rule is
extreme and outdated.
Having been first associated with
gay males in 1981, HIV quickly
became a disease known worldwide.
It created a scare for all instances
of unprotected sexual
contact.
Today, we know
that unprotected
sexual contact is not
the only way that HIV
is spread. Sharing
needles, mother-to-
child transmission in the womb
and even breastfeeding can further
the spread of the virus. Sexually
active gay males should not be one
of the few high-risk groups banned
from donating, especially when all
of the blood is tested for infection
before being given to a patient in
need.
In 2004, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention conducted
a study that analyzed HIV reports
compiled by 33 states.
Among 13- to 24-year-olds,
African Americans accounted for 55
percent of all HIV infections. Men
who have had sex with other men
(of all ethnicities) accounted for 42
percent of the positive diagnoses.
In addition, young women (of
all ethnicities)
account for 40
percent of HIV
infections.
The guidelines
for African
Americans and
young women
are not restricted, even though
statistics show they are just as
likely to be infected by HIV as
gay men. This rule needs to be
re-examined, as it is outdated and
also discriminatory against gay
men who want nothing more than
to help save human lives.
Despite this rule, last weeks
blood drive was successful. Donor
Recruitment Representative Jim
Sajevic said the blood drive had set
a goal of 1,000 units of blood for
the week. They surpassed that goal,
collecting 1,004. Sajevic was very
happy with the end-result.
People need to understand that
donating blood saves lives, and
that 1,004 units of blood has the
potential to save over 2,000 lives,
Sajevic said. To save 2,000 lives in
a weeks time how do you put a
value on that?
Every student who gave up
their time and their blood should
be proud that they participated.
Unfortunately, gay men cannot be
grouped among the donors, simply
because of a rule established nearly
20 years ago that is both biased and
old-fashioned. Rewording the rule
to just target participants of unsafe
sex would be a safe solution that
is not homophobic or prejudiced
against one group.

Listen to experts
on climate change
Chet Comptons recent column,
Climate change: A history of fear,
argued that both global warming
and man made global warming
are not true. While I would love
to argue his assertions, there is a
more important issue here.
Every unfamiliar person who
argues against a scientifc theory
falls into the same predictable
traps. More ofen than not, simple
unfamiliarity with how the natural
sciences work is the problem.
Te frst is the consensus trap.
Consensus is not formed by sheer
numbers of scientists, but by
experts in the very specifc feld
agreeing to something that has
been well proven with research
published in peer-edited journals.
Te amount of efort required
to convince your colleagues
that your hypothesis is even
worthy of attention is enormous.
And remember, the number of
scientists who have expertise in
any particular feld is limited.
Te second is the changing
science trap. Oddly enough, this
can be found happening both ways.
Either science changes too much,
or it does not change enough. First
and foremost, science changes,
always. Tere is no well-known
theory today that has not been
challenged, revised and modifed.
Its how science works.
Finally, there is the conspiracy
trap. Most people will not call
it that, but its true. Whether it
be global warming is a hoax or
evolution is a lie, if there is no
evidence backing up the assertion,
its a waste of time. Circumstantial
evidence is not enough.
Tese pitfalls may seem like
valid arguments, but theyre
not. Science must be lef to the
scientists. Only they have the
considerable training needed to
handle the complex investigations
that make up science.

L
ife in the residence halls
holds a certain hazy charm
come Friday nights. As
students return from nights out
at parties, downtown or wherever
else, the lobbies and hallways
fill up with people, white noise
chatter and stories.
When I lived in Hashinger, I
would often run into kids in my
hall and make small talk as the
place winded down. We would
talk about our nights, upcoming
concerts we hoped to see or what
we thought that stain on the
bathroom tile was.
Every once in a while, though,
the conversation would swing
toward something deeper. Maybe
it was a philosophy lecture earlier
that day or a novel read in some
English class, but something would
lead the discussion into some real
questions of life, thoughts about
faith, God and even doubt.
Its not often that such issues
are brought up between strangers
let alone in a dorm hallway at
2 a.m. but I always found it
significant when they were.
Faith, doubt and spirituality
are heavy topics that strike
at the core of who we are and
how we steer our lives. Theyre
thoughts we often tuck close to
our chest, sidestepping passesrs
and watching for cracks in the
ground, hoping we dont run into
someone elses.
But maybe running into each
other is just what we need.
Weve grown up in a culture
that increasingly eschews dialogue
on faith. The questions are big
and the answers difficult, and yet
theyre ones many of us struggle
with at some point in our lives.
Perhaps the problem isnt what we
are talking about, but how were
talking about it. Maybe we need a
fresh approach to the conversation
on faith.
Surprisingly, such an approach
is coming from an entertaining
voice. More often associated with
beet farms than faith, actor Rainn
Wilson, who plays Dwight Schrute
on NBCs The Office, started
a Web site called SoulPancake,
an online community focused
on creativity, spirituality and
everything in between.
I am sick of spirituality being
airy-fairy, hippie-dippy and
precious, Wilson says on the Web
site. I want to de-lamify talking
about God and religion.
On a regular basis, Wilson
and other Pancake writers pose a
question reflecting their thoughts.
Web site members are invited to
test, stretch and contribute to the
conversation with their own ideas,
and can even post questions of
their own.
But the real beauty of
SoulPancake lies in its tone and
approach. The site uses art and
humor to disarm readers, making
weighty conversations about faith,
doubt and God accessible without
taking itself too seriously.
Though SoulPancake is
certainly a fresh place for
theological discussion, the
underlying point its conveying
shouldnt be missed: When
conversation about faith is
presented honestly, openly
and without pretension, people
respond. We converse. We debate.
We wrestle. And in all of that, we
come closer to the truth.
An ancient Hebrew saying puts
it this way, As iron sharpens iron,
so one person sharpens another.
So lets open up a new dialogue
on faith. At the very least well
find good conversation, and at the
very most, a sharper way to see
our world.

RELIGIOUSLY
T
here will be plenty of new
faces in Kansas politics
in a few years. Actually,
there will probably be some old
faces, but in new spots. So if you
only pay attention to Governor
and U.S. Senators, they will be
new and exciting. Everyone else
will just be watching a couple of
people get promotions.
But enough of that, lets look
at the exciting new and old faces
that want you to think they are the
next big thing.
The area in the biggest state of
flux at the moment is Governor.
Kathleen Sebelius stepped down
earlier this year to take a position
in President Obamas cabinet,
giving her lieutenant, Mark
Parkinson, an early promotion.
Now-Gov. Parkinson has done
nothing but say that he wont run
for a full term in 2010, which puts
Kansas Democrats in a bind as
to who they can put up against
the Republicans long-anointed
candidate, a guy named Sam
Brownback.
The two who have at least
speculated on their chances as
the Democratic candidate for
governor are current Democratic
Party Chair Larry Gates and
State Sen. Chris Steineger (6th
District).
If the primary comes down to
these two, expect Gates to win
easily over Steineger, who is not
exactly popular with Democrats
outside of Wyandotte County
because of his unyielding support
for the new coal plants in Holcomb,
fiscal conservatism and the
genuine contempt he has shown
for intolerant young Democrats
who do not buy into his vision for
Kansas, whatever it may be.
Because Brownback is running
for Governor presumably
avenging his humiliating 2008
presidential bid his Senate
seat will be open, and U.S.
Representatives Jerry Moran and
Todd Tiarht have spent the last
several months sniping at each
other for it. Because the Republican
primary race for Senate seems to
have come down to them, it seems
that the GOP will be running
either a conservative western
Kansas Representative with ties
to C-Street, or the exact same
thing.
Meanwhile, the Democrats
currently have to choose between
former journalist Charles
Schollenberger, or maybe Thomas
Wiggans, a pharmaceutical
executive from California. (How
did he get in the picture?)
A few bright spots do exist
for 2010. State Rep. Raj Goyle, a
Harvard educated Wichita native
is running for the 4th District of
the U.S. House of Representatives,
the seat Tiarht is vacating to run
for Senate. Scott Seel is looking
at a bid for the state house in the
45th District. New people do in
fact exist in Kansas politics, and
so far have not done anything to
arouse my cynical nature, (give
it time.)
With months before any
primaries hit, few new and
exciting types have come up.
This in itself isnt to detract from
anybody in any of the major
races, but it makes me wonder
whether we are actually going to
see something new as they take
their shots at each other for the
next several months.

Slim wardrobe to
reduce footprint
Staring at the mountain
of rolled up socks, it finally
dawned on me: my boyfriend is
a shopaholic.
Austin and his 119 T-shirts, 46
pairs of socks, 19 pairs of boxers,
five dress shirts, nine sweaters
and one tuxedo (its official
I actually counted) is the love
child of our consumer-driven
society and its passionate affair
with excess.
Though I find nothing wrong
with buying nice things that you
need or want; it is hard for me to
believe that anyone should have
enough shirts to last for three
months without doing laundry.
Yet when we live in a culture
that emphasizes rapidly updated
material goods, it is easy to see
how the average Joe could end up
with too much while forgetting
the environmental impacts of
their purchases.
According to the EPA Office
of Solid Waste, Americans throw
away more than 68 pounds of
clothing and textiles per person
per year, contributing to the
problem of dwindling landfill
space. But the environmental
impacts dont stop there. For
each piece of clothing thrown
away, it is likely that a new
one is purchased, fueling the
over-consumption of natural
resources.
Ill admit, I have my fair share of
T-shirts that I havent worn since
high school, but the important
point is that we become conscious
of our consumption habits and
the impact that they make.
Consignment and thrift
shops have grown in popularity
in recent years due to changing
fashion trends as well as the
recession. A local Lawrence
favorite is Arizona Trading
Company, where shoppers can
find everything from formal wear
to casual to Halloween costumes.
Platos Closet is also another
option.
You dont have to be No Impact
Man to make an environmental
difference. It can be as simple
as changing where you get your
things and where those things
go after youre done using them.
For this green girl, shes taking
her all-American boy to Platos
Closet tomorrow to see if she can
lower his T-shirt count into the
double digits.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.
Seated on a platform in a blocked-
off street, the founder of the
Traverse City Film Festival grinned
as Mayor Michael Estes hailed him
for boosting the local economy and
cultural scene with almost no
government assistance!
Who was that free-market cham-
pion? Michael Moore.
Yes, THAT Michael Moore. The
Oscar-winning firebrand whose
Roger & Me attacked General
Motors, whose Sicko extolled gov-
ernment-run health care. His latest
film, Capitalism: A Love Story,
which opens nationwide Friday,
blames deregulation for the finan-
cial meltdown and shows Franklin
D. Roosevelt advocating an expand-
ed welfare state.
Yet here was Moore in his festi-
vals fifth season, exchanging pleas-
antries with business and civic
leaders in this largely Republican
community, surrounded by fans
offering hugs and handshakes.
Moore, 55, is widely celebrated
and reviled as a left-wing
scourge of big business.
But in this resort town of 15,000
on Lake Michigan, his image is
more complex. Since moving to
the area six years ago, Moore has
become a high-profile citizen and
benefactor.
Two years later, Moore teamed
with author Doug Stanton and pho-
tographer John Robert Williams to
establish the festival, a godsend for
local tourism.
The festivals premiere event in
July 2005 drew overflow crowds.
Moore critics sponsored a compet-
ing freedom film festival, but few
attended.
Its now a glittering showplace,
one of the nations top-grossing the-
aters featuring not just art-house
and classic films but broadcasts of
the Metropolitan opera and sport-
ing events.
Each year, the festival has grown.
This years included 71 feature mov-
ies and 50 shorts, panel discus-
sions with filmmakers and classes
for youths.
An army of volunteers keeps the
festival and State Theatre going.

LOS ANGELES In televisions
latest quest to discourage viewers
from skipping ads, actors from
NBC and ABC shows are appear-
ing in character in commercials to
interact with products in parallel
story lines.
Tis new kind of commercial
further blurs the line between pro-
gram and advertisement and comes
as traditional product placements
within shows, an early response
to fast-forwarding, have become
common.
Its defnitely groundbreak-
ing for ABC and NBC, said De-
nise Ocasio, managing partner of
MindShare, the marketing frm
that helped Sprint create the spots.
Its not a commercial. It looks and
feels and has all the drama and
excitement of the show. It is an
entertainment experience. Its just
brought to you by Sprint.
But not everyone is pleased. Pe-
ter Horton, executive producer of
the short-lived NBC drama Te
Philanthropist, said he would
hesitate to have another such ad on
one of his shows.
I understand the desire fnan-
cially by networks and producers,
Horton said. I do think its at the
expense of the viewing experience,
I really do.
Microsof was happier with the
results. Danielle Tiedt, a marketing
general manager at Microsof, said
the ads did a great job of boost-
ing understanding and awareness
of Bing.
Networks want to convince ad-
vertisers that coupling such creative
shorts with a feet of traditional ads
improves the efectiveness of the
commercials at a time marketing
budgets are being slashed.

A
sizeable opportunity
is being missed by the
Athletics Department
this weekend, a bye week for falls
most profitable sport, football.
I was pleased at the oppor-
tunity to take in a non-revenue
sport or two this weekend while
football took its hiatus from the
headlines. All that needed to be
decided was which fall sport to
choose: Soccer? Volleyball? Cross
country? Tennis? Rowing? Golf?
Turns out that the only sport
playing at home this weekend will
be softball, whose regular season
isnt until spring.
This is not a knock on softball.
No, it is worthy of some love this
weekend. After all, its extracur-
ricular slate of games two at 2
p.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday and a
pair at noon and 4 p.m. Sunday
is the only thing saving cam-
pus from being an athletic ghost
town.
What a missed opportunity.
The department far from ignores
its non-Big Two sports but could
have stood to make a weekend
out of this.
Soccer has been ranked for
much of its season and wrapped
up the non-conference portion of
the year with an 8-2-1 record. It
opens Big 12 play against Texas
A&M Friday at 7 p.m. at College
Station, Texas before traveling
to Austin and playing Texas at
1 p.m. Sunday. A little Friday
Night Lights on the pitch would
have been the nice way to end a
week.
Cross country will compete

ball continues its Big 12 schedule

Station, Texas, perhaps passing
the soccer team along the way.
The road trips continue with
rowing a sport Ive been
dying to see for the first time
competing in the Boot of the
Oklahoma event in Oklahoma
City, Okla.
In future years, the right
blend of scheduling and promo-
tion could prove fruitful for
the schools non-revenue sports.
There is no math involved in
determining that on a weekend
in which footballs home again
that soccer or volleyball will be
challenged to draw fans as if
they were the only show in town.
Thats not to say non-revenue
sports dont draw fans while foot-
ball or basketball is playing, its
just more difficult when energy
has been spent tailgating and
spending all day out has trans-
pired.
But another time, I supposed.
An opportunity lost can serve as
a reminder to seek out a future
soccer game or rowing meet.
Besides, weve got four oppor-
tunities to check out the softball
team this weekend behind its new
coach, Megan Smith.
On top of that, be sure to
check out club hockey as it plays
Missouri Friday at 8 p.m. at Pepsi

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kansas
Citys 2-for-28 losing binge is
likely to become 2-for-29 Sunday
when the New York Giants tack
another painful week onto the
sorriest chapter in the history of
the Chiefs.
The unbeaten Giants are
9-point road favorites over the
winless Chiefs, who are coming
off a 34-14 loss to the injury-
weakened Philadelphia Eagles.
The new regime of general
manager Scott Pioli and Todd
Haley keeps baling water, shuf-
fling players in and out as fast
as they can. As of Wednesday
afternoon, there had been seven
player transactions in a 24-hour
span.
Still, the franchise that
won 100 games under Marty
Schottenheimer in the 1990s is
0-3 for the second straight year
and appears headed for a third
consecutive calamity of a season.
Each of the three seasons has
come with its own identity, its
own reason for what caused the
crash.
The Chiefs began headed
toward this low point in 2007
when the decision was made,
against the wishes of head coach
Herm Edwards, to try to coax
a second playoff run out of an
aging team.
Big mistake.
Aging very quickly became
aged. The Chiefs sank to 4-12,
their worst season percentage-
wise since 1977.
The following year, Edwards got
permission from general manager
Carl Peterson and owner Clark
Hunt to root out the old and bring
in the new.
It was what he and Tony
Dungy had done in Tampa Bay,
Edwards argued, a rebuilding
program based on patience and
youth, a bite-the-bullet enterprise
that accepted present-day losses
because they would inevitably
lead to future wins.
Big mistake.
Nothing went right, starting
with season-ending injuries in the
first few weeks to quarterbacks
No. 1 and 2.
By the time fall turned to
winter, Hunts patience had run
out. He hadnt figured on 2-14,
the worst season since his father
founded the team almost 50 years
before.
Peterson was fired and replaced
by Pioli, who let Edwards sit and
stew for several weeks before ask-
ing him to clean out his desk and
make way for the Haley, the man
whose offense had helped take
Arizona to the Super Bowl.
Pioli and Haley are confronted
by talent issues almost every-
where. The offensive line, where
continuity is paramount, has been
as unsettled as any position group
on the entire team with the pos-
sible exception of wide receiver.
The best player in that group,
Dwayne Bowe, may be out for a
second straight week.
Nfl
Chiefs release players,
fll in open roster spots
KANSAS CITY, Mo. After a
busy day of roster moves, the
Kansas City Chiefs are likely to
see more coming and going
by the end of the week.
A busy day of transactions
on Tuesday left two open ros-
ter spots, which will probably
be flled soon.
After trading quarterback
Tyler Thigpen to Miami for
an undisclosed draft choice
on Tuesday, the Chiefs (0-3)
signed former Arizona tight
end Leonard Pope. The 6-foot-
8, 264-pounder was Arizonas
third-round pick in 2006 and
spent time with Chiefs coach
Todd Haley when Haley was an
assistant with the Cardinals.
The Chiefs also released
cornerback Ricardo Colclough
and linebacker Monty Beisel.
Tight end Tom Crabtree was
released from the practice
squad and tackle Chris Patrick
was signed for the practice
squad.
Vick accused of illegally
withdrawing millions
WASHINGTON Phila-
delphia Eagles quarterback Mi-
chael Vick has agreed to repay
at least $416,000 that he is
accused of illegally withdraw-
ing from a pension plan.
The Labor Department says
the payment settles a lawsuit
for transfers from a pension
plan sponsored by a market-
ing company he once owned.
Vick was accused of
withdrawing more than $1.3
million from the plan and
using the money to help pay
penalties imposed on him af-
ter his dogfghting conspiracy
conviction.

Kick the Kansan in football
commentary
Video game
prediction
says Kansas
will win
By ALEX BEECHER
abeecher@kansan.com
K
ansas football is 4-0 heading
in to a bye week, and Im not
quite sure what to make of that
fact. Sure, being undefeated is a good
thing. And its not that a 4-0 start and
a comfortable top 20 ranking are bad
things. Its just that, unblemished record
and all, predicting how the rest of the
season might go is every bit as tricky as
it was a couple of months ago.
Which, for dramas sake, is a per-
fectly good thing. But its not so great
for sports writers. By this time, were
supposed to have a reasonable grasp of
what our team is capable of. Without
that knowledge, we cant make the bold
predictions that maintain our carefully
constructed veil of expertise.
Faced with that dilemma, I did the
only thing a respectable journalist
could do.
I played video games.
Before dismissing the idea offhand,
let me explain. The video game in
question is NCAA Football 2010. And
I didnt so much play the game as I
simulated it. After all, computers are
smarter than humans its science
and we trust them to predict plenty of
other things already. Why not football
as well?
Oh sure, plenty of old-timers will
swear up and down that football is
inherently unpredictable, that theres
a human element no computer could
ever account for. But do you really want
to trust Lou Holtzs demographic on
football matters? Thats what I thought.
So now that weve established my
Xbox 360 as a viable predictor of col-
lege football results, the question moves
to what it sees in Kansas football
future.
Predictably enough, it says Kansas
will handle Iowa State and Colorado
without any trouble. No one need
worry about Jake Sharps health. He
plays, and scores two touchdowns in
both games. The rest of Kansas offense
performs just as well, and the defense
tightens up. Two more easy wins, and
the Jayhawks are 6-0 heading into a top
10 showdown against Oklahoma.
Which doesnt go so well. Lets just
say that Todd Reesing should start
stocking up on Advil now, and that
Kale Pick should get ready.
Despite the painful defeat, Kansas
recovers with back-to-back road wins,
setting up a decisive battle for the Big
12 North against Nebraska.
The Cornhuskers keep it close for a
half, but Briscoe and Reesing light up
the scoreboard late, leading Kansas to a
surprisingly lopsided victory.
Kansas, once again ranked in the top
10, travels to Austin, Texas, to face off
against the Colt McCoy-less Longhorns.
Without their stud signal caller, Texas
turns it over five times, gift-wrapping a
marquee win for Kansas.
Now guaranteed a spot in the Big 12
title game, Kansas still faces Missouri.
True to form, Blaine Gabbert puts up
impressive numbers, and the Tigers
provide a scare. But ultimately Kansas
has too much firepower, and wins.
Kansas then gets a shot at revenge
against Oklahoma. Unfortunately,
the only thing Kansas gets is another
vicious beating.
Despite the loss, Kansas earns yet
another BCS berth a Fiesta Bowl
matchup against Georgia Tech. Perhaps
aided by the additional practice time,
Kansas easily stifles Techs option
offense, on its way to a comfortable
win.
And there you have it, the results for
the rest of Kansas season. Dont try and
argue either. This is science, after all.

always a Jayhawk
Weston White/KANSAN
Former Kansas coach Don Fambrough led the Jayhawks for eight seasons, from1971 to 1982, and is the only coach to have been fred twice. Fambrough is still considered a staple part of the teamand regularly attends practices and
games.. "He is Kansas football," former ofensive lineman Ryan Cantrell said of the former coach.
Still standing on the sidelines
By JAySON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
Don Fambrough stands
between Kansas two practice
fields on a typically muggy morn-
ing in mid-August. Shading him
from the sun are black sunglasses,
the only non-Kansas related items
in Fambroughs wardrobe today.
He walks around the outskirts
of the field on the way to a tent-
covered training table. On the way,
he is stopped by packs of players
sipping water during a break.
Hey coach, sophomore
tight end Tim Biere says, pat-
ting Fambrough on the shoulder.
How are you doing today?
So goes a typical practice for
Fambrough, the twice-former
coach who now spends his days
strolling the sidelines as a spec-
tator. He doesnt say much dur-
ing practices, only offering a few
words here and there before the
start of drills.
But Fambrough stands as
a living symbol connecting the
Jayhawks past and present and,
really, the distinction between
Kansas football program and
Fambrough has increasingly nar-
rowed through the years.
Hes just one of those people
that as soon as you hear his name
you associate him with Kansas
football, former offensive line-
man Ryan Cantrell said. He is
Kansas football.
nnn

Fambrough, at heart, is a story
teller and his most appetiz-
ing stories always seem to revolve
around Kansas.
At 85, Fambrough is the ulti-
mate historian of Kansas football,
his qualifications spanning seven
decades as a Jayhawk.
His late wife, Del, was a teacher
in the Lawrence community. His
sons graduated from the University.
So, too, did Fambrough. Plus, in
some capacity, Fambrough spent
30 years as a
coach, including
eight years as a
head coach.
His life-blood
is at Kansas, for-
mer Kansas coach
Terry Allen said.
Theres nobody
Im more pleased
for with the suc-
cess of Kansas
football than Don
Fambrough.
Yet Fambroughs ties with
Kansas football are complicated,
filled with equal parts passion
and, at times, pure frustration.
After serving as an assistant,
Fambrough was named Kansas
head coach in 1971. In his third
season Fambrough won seven
games, finished tied for second in
the Big Eight and led Kansas to the
Liberty Bowl.
The next season Kansas fin-
ished last in the Big Eight with a
4-7 record. Fambrough was fired.
There have been disappoint-
ments, Fambrough said. I dont
want to try and
make you think
everything is per-
fect. There are
problems. Today,
they probably have
fewer problems
than any time Ive
ever been here.
Coach Mangino has
been given the tools
to work with.
There have been
some coaches and I experi-
enced that where we didnt
have the tools to work with. Yet
we were expected to compete with
Oklahoma and Nebraska teams
that had so much more than us.
That really hurt.
Four seasons later, in 1979,
Fambrough was rehired as Kansas
head coach. Again, in his third
season, he led the Jayhawks to a
bowl game, finishing the season
8-4.
But, again, Kansas struggled the
following season, posting a 2-7-2
record. Fambrough was fired for a
second time.
Even now, more than 25 years
since his final season, theres a hint
of frustration behind Fambroughs
words. He talks about a lack of
support from the higher-ups, how
he was expected to defeat the
same schools whose facilities and
operations continued improving
while Kansas stood still.
It was a hard realization to fully
swallow.
A lot of times, if you dont have
the same tools as they have, then
its almost impossible, Fambrough
said. But the head coach is always
in charge. If you win, hes the one
who is responsible for that. If you
lose, hes the one thats responsible.

Boot camp provides more than just exercise
By COREy THIBODEAUX
cthibodeaux@kansan.com
Monday marked the beginning
of the most grueling part of the
mens basketball season boot
camp.
Bootcamp began Monday and
will continue until Oct. 9. Every
player has to be in the gym at 6
a.m. to endure a rigorous workout
most say is the toughest they will
ever have to face.
If I had to paint a picture,
freshman guard Elijah Johnson
said, I would say it should have a
sign up that says Welcome to Hell
as you walk in.
The workouts include jump-
ing rope with sprinting penalties,
defensive drills and sprinting back
and forth across the court doz-
ens of times. And as the camp
progresses, coaches will concoct
whatever workouts they deem
necessary. The result includes a
loss of fluids, whether its sweat
or vomit, and better conditioned
team.
Veteran play-
ers such junior
guards Tyrel
Reed and Brady
Mor ni ng s t a r
who have
already survived
the camp said
they were not as
intimidated.
Obvi ousl y,
every KU player
is still here and we all get through
it eventually, Reed said. You
know, its tough but our freshman
guys are doing good so far.
Its tough, dont get me wrong,
Morningstar said. But Ive been
here for four years and I feel like
Im in pretty good shape right
now. Its tough on me as well, but
Im not trying to hit the trash cans
like some other guys.
Johnson, on the other hand,
did not know what to expect as a
freshman. But three weeks ago, he
received a warning from a strang-
er. Some one in an
electric wheel chair,
he said, passed him
and without slow-
ing down or look-
ing back said sim-
ply, Good luck with
boot camp. This
was Johnsons wake-
up call.
They didnt have
to hype it up, he
said. The people around me
did.
