Lawrence police have identified
the driver involved in the hit-and-
run accident that killed 20-year-
old former student Rachel Leek as
she rode her bicycle on Tennessee
Street Oct. 16.
Police reports released Friday
said Joel Cedric Hernandez, a
21-year-old Haskell University
student, struck Leek at the 1000
block of Tennessee at about 2:20
a.m. and then fled the scene.
Police think Hernandez was under
the influence of alcohol, though
no tests were administered to con-
firm this.
Two passengers were in the car
with Hernandez at the time of the
accident. One passenger was the
owner of the car, a white, 2001
Pontiac Grand Am.
Leek was life-flighted to
Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka,
where she later died.
Leeks bicycle, which had been
painted turquoise and yellow,
had no lights or reflectors on the
frame. There were pedal reflectors
on only one side of each pedal,
according to the accident report
filed by Lawrence police officer
James Welsh.
The accident report was for-
warded to the district attorney. No
arrests have been made.

Eleven graduate students left the
relative safety of their white-walled
home in Summerfield Hall Friday to
venture out into the Lawrence com-
munity for some volunteer work.
The accounting graduate stu-
dents met with several non-profit
organizations or, as they like to call
them, tax-exempt entities, not to
paint buildings or answer phones,
but to do what they do best talk
about taxes.
It was a chance to bring what
we have learned in our classes and
help out the Lawrence community,
said Leah Cole, Leawood graduate
student.
Cole was one of the 33 students in
Raquel Alexanders Tax Research
class to present to various non-
profits last week. Eleven students
presented in Lawrence, but other
groups presented in Salina, Junction
City and Topeka to a combined total
of 50 non-profits in northeast and
central Kansas.

Balloons, high-definition video

not be commonly associated with
a ballet performance, but these
were all present for Trey McIntyres
contemporary dance troupes
Friday night performance at the

A crowd of nearly 1,000 gath-
ered at the Lied Center to see the
Trey McIntyre Project. McIntyre,
head choreographer and Wichita
native, combined elements of clas-
sical ballet and modern dance
in his troupes two-hour perfor-
mance. The night was a show-
case of McIntyres dynamic use of
multimedia in contemporary bal-
let.
I really enjoyed the show, said
Stephanie Taylor, Lenexa senior

classical ballet and interprets it in

Observing the Jewish high holi-

Last year, her classes conflicted con-
stantly with days deigned holy on

order to practice his faith. She said

sentation to help non-profits under-
stand the complex new forms they
will complete next tax season.
What a great way to use our
knowledge to help organizations
that already do such worthwhile
things, Alexander, assistant profes-
sor in accounting, said.
Though non-profits arent gen-
erally required to pay taxes, they
are required to file what is known
as a Form 990 with the Internal
Revenue Service every year. That
hasnt changed since 1979, but come
next March, the old form will have a
whole new set of requirements and
thresholds that could make filing
more confusing than ever.
Alexander said the changes came
with good reason. With 1.5 million
non-profits in America earning a
combined revenue of $1.4 trillion
each year, its easy for fraud and
abuse to corrupt a system thats
older than most students at the
University. The new filing require-
ments increase transparency in an
attempt to end the practice of using
non-profits as tax shelters.
The other reason, she said, lies
in the first forms first page, which
requires organizations to give a
detailed explanation of the orga-
nizations mission statement and
progress.
It provides an opportunity for
organizations to brag about their
accomplishments and help spread
their mission, she said.
Rather than teach the students
the information from a podium,
Alexander had them research the
issue themselves.
Cole said she and her classmates
spent about 30 hours in the past
month becoming experts on the
new forms to help non-profits.
Anna Bliss, graduate student from
Portage, Mich., presented Friday.
Bliss said she had never worked
with non-profit tax issues before.
It was overwhelming to think
that we were doing all this research
on our own to get the informa-
tion, rather than having a teacher
sit down and tell us what to do,
she said.
But Bliss and Cole said the
research helped them retain the
information and would be useful
when they needed to help their own
clients someday. According to all in
attendance Friday, their hard work
paid off in the form of a successful,
informative presentation.
Barb Bishop, executive director
for Arc of Douglas County, an orga-
nization that provides advocacy and
support to people with develop-
mental disabilities and their fami-
lies, said she came to the presenta-
tion to learn what she needs to give
her accountant next year.
Just because were tax-exempt
doesnt mean were exempt from
following the rules, she said.
Bishop said she wanted to be sure
she handled donations properly.
If they wanted to give the money
to the government, they wouldnt
have given it to me, she said. It
would be pretty poor stewardship
if we gave more money than we
needed to the government because
we messed up the 990 form.
After the presentation, Bishop,
a self-proclaimed tax-illiterate, said
she felt like a deer in the headlights.
But she said she knew once she let
the information sink in, she would
be able to get the right details to
her accountant because of what she
learned from the students.
Im really impressed by the stu-
dents efforts to be a part of this
community, she said.
Alexander said she has had her
Tax Research students partici-
pate in a different service-learning
project each semester since 2005,
when her students helped the vic-
tims of Hurricane Katrina. Other
projects involved aiding residents
of Greensburg and providing tax
education for performing arts orga-
nizations.

Goodman has played Division 1
college basketball and professional
basketball both in the U.S. and
in Israel, but he has never once
played on a Jewish holiday or the
Sabbath. Tonight, Goodman will
share his story with students in a
speech at Robinson Gymnasium.
The presentation will also include a
free kosher meal, a short basketball
clinic and 3-on-3 fundraising tour-
nament to fight prostate cancer.
Hes just a very inspirational
speaker, said Schwab, who heard
Goodman speak in August and
helped the Chabad Jewish Center
plan his visit. Hes very unique to
be able to play and also stick to his
religious beliefs.
Though recognized for his abil-
ity in basketball, Goodman has
achieved much of his fame for
his unwillingness to put the sport
before his faith. After high school,
Goodman turned down a full ride
scholarship and verbal contract
to play basketball at Maryland
University because the teams
schedule of practices and games
meant having to play on the Jewish
Sabbath, which is against the rules
of Orthodox Judaism.
That conviction has earned him
coverage on national networks such
as ESPN, CBS and Fox Sports.
Goodman said he stayed true
to the Jewish weekly schedule
throughout his career at Towson
State University and his profession-
al career with several Israeli teams
including Maccabi Haifa in Israel
and the Maryland Nighthawks
in the U.S. Premier Basketball
League.
Everywhere I played, the teams
were able to work around the
schedule, Goodman said. I never
played from sundown Friday night
to sundown Saturday night.
Goodman, who retired from
basketball four weeks ago at age
27, said his choice to put faith
over basketball has been the topic
of his speeches at more than 14
U.S. colleges and universities. He
said his greatest hope was that his
example would inspire students of
all faiths to better understand their
priorities.
When someone understands
who they are and why theyre in
this world and they have a true
identity, it helps them have a more
fulfilled life, Goodman said.
Goodman said that as part of
this effort, the workshop tonight
would be hosted by both the
Chabad Jewish center and the Black
Student Union. Goodman said that
he always tried especially hard to
bring Jewish and African-American
students together because of the
similar histories they shared.
I feel like in general, the
African-American commu-
nity and the Jewish community
have overcome a lot of prejudices
through the years, Goodman said.
Throughout my career, Ive had
very, very close African-American
teammates and friends. Ive had a
lot of success in bringing the two
communities together as one and
accomplishing a lot.
Jordan Brown, Bloomington,
Ind., senior and president of the
KU Black Student Union, said most
members received the invitation to
participate in the workshop with
enthusiasm.
The event has sparked a lot
of peoples interest, Brown said.
Were really about all things posi-
tive, not only black students, but
the whole University of Kansas
campus.
The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity will
host the final tournament portion
of the event as a fundraiser for
prostate research, said Steven
Laviage, Zeta Beta Tau philan-
thropy chair. Laviage, Houston
sophomore, said the tournament
was free, but that ZBT requested
a $5 donation for prostate can-
cer research. He said he expected
Goodman would help to bring
more participants and success to
the event.
He inspires everybody, Laviage
said.
Schwab, who will watch
Goodman speak for the second
time tonight, said the aspect of his
life that she found most inspiring
was his unwavering conviction.
Sometimes its hard for other
people to relate, to understand,
Schwab said. But you really have
to do what you feel is right. You
still have to stick to what you feel,
rather than the pressures around
you.

Though the dance company is
only in its second year, McIntyre has
had experience with choreography
around the country. He has written
more than 80 pieces for some of
the nations most prominent ballet
companies, and has served as the
resident choreographer for a hand-
ful of large ballet organizations,
including the Washington Ballet.
Friday night was the choreogra-
phers first-ever performance in his
home state.
McIntyre said he was happy to
have his homecoming in Lawrence.
Growing up, Lawrence was kind
of the holy grail, McIntyre said. It
always had a little bit of a mytho-
logical quality for me.
The show began with Samba
music filling the Lied Center.
Women in white spring dresses
swirled around the stage, lifted and
thrown by their male counterparts.
The piece opened and closed with
the dancers lined up in front a large
canvas as individual spotlights sil-
houetted their bodies.
Another set featured a trio of
dancers using balloons to alter
their bodys images while they
danced to symphonic rock music.
The audience erupted in laughter
when a female dancer with two bal-
loons stuffed up her shirt frolicked
around the stage.
McIntyre said this dynamic
approach to ballet had caused the
college-aged group to become the
companys largest followers.
Our approach is here and now,
McIntyre said. It doesnt feel like
its part of a museum. Its refresh-
ing.
To address the here and now,
the shows finale combined live
dance and high-definition video to
address the negative effect of human
behavior on Glacier National Park
in Montana.
The 30-minute piece used a mas-
sive projection screen to show foot-
age of the dancers in the park while
live dance occurred on the stage
below the screen.
The piece, titled The Sun
Road, was part of a larger series on
Americas national parks, commis-
sioned by the Wolf Trap Foundation
for the Performing Arts.
McIntyre said The Sun Road
was meant to tell the story of Glacier
National Parks dire future. He said
in less than 30 years, climate change
might eradicate the parks glaciers.
Tim Van Leer, executive direc-
tor of the Lied Center, visited the
company in Glacier National Park
during the filming of The Sun
Road. He said the piece presented
the clash between humans and the
parks majestic environment.
You have this unbelievable sce-
nic wonder combined with the
dancers dressed in formal wear and
looking completely out of place,
Van Leer said. I think what hes
saying is that although we may feel
comfortable there, we may be out
of place.
McIntyre said this use of mul-
timedia helped attract a younger
following. The company uploads
the majority of its material onto the
projects Web site, allowing fans to
interact and engage with the com-
pany outside of its performances.
Taylor said McIntyres multime-
dia approach was intriguing.
You get the sense of being in
this beautiful national park, and
then all of the sudden youd be
brought back to the stage, Taylor
said. I thought it was fascinating.

The changes to the non-
proft tax forms will afect
student groups on campus
because, as tax-exempt enti-
ties, they are required to fle a
version of Form 990 each year.
Form 990 exists in three
forms: Form 990-N, Form 990-
EZ and Form 990.
Most student groups on
campus must fle the shortest
form, Form 990-N, within four
and a half months after the
organization closes its books
at the end of the tax year. If
they dont, Alexander said, the
International Revenue Service
will take away their tax-ex-
empt status and require that
the organization pay penalties
for failing to fle.
Though student organiza-
tions have been required to
fle this form in the past, Alex-
ander said, its important that
their tax preparers know the
changes in the forms to best
comply with IRS requirements.
The new forms can be found
at irs.gov.
The IRS will phase in the
new standards in the next
three years.

With a growing number of grad-
uate students and fewer dollars for
graduate programs to recruit them,
Kansas schools are offering a new
opportunity for students to connect
to graduate schools online.
Hire Kansas Talent is a group
collaboration that offers an online
substitution for information fairs.
The Web fair allows students to
browse information about gradu-
ate schools from across the nation.
The University collaborated with six
other four-year schools in Kansas to
make the group.
This week, the group is hold-
ing the 2009 Kansas Graduate and
Professional School E-vent, a week-
long series of live, online seminars.
Seminars will cover topics from
how to apply to graduate school to
tips for writing personal statements
and programs in specific fields of
study.
Schools that have signed
up to recruit Kansas students
include Arizona State University,
the University of Tulsa and the
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Lindsey McCaig, Engineering
Career Center coordinator and an
organizer for the database, said
about 70 programs were partici-
pating in the online recruitment
database. She attributed much of
that interest to the reduction in
budgets and the amount programs
can spend on face-to-face recruit-

felt like this was a good alternative
for them to reach out to a lot of stu-
dents with actually no cost this year.
A lot of schools just dont have the
recruitment budgets anymore that
they used to.
McCaig said the online system
would benefit specialized gradu-
ate programs that may only find
a few students interested in their
programs on recruiting trips.
So, by combining the other
Kansas schools, then were giving
them a better pool list of students,
McCaig said. Were also getting a
broader scope of schools that are
going to participate because they
dont have to travel here.
She said the system was a no-cost
option for schools to market them-
selves to students.
Bruce Blair, Bellville, Ala.,
graduate student and president
of the Graduate and Professional
Association, said he thought any
way to increase the information
available to students about graduate
school was a good thing.
You cant reach all students
through fairs, and you cant reach
all students through online action,
Blair said. So Im guessing if both
are conducted together, I see no rea-
son why they wont be successful.
Lorna Kenyon, administrative
director of the College of Medicine
at Ohio State and participant in the
event, said this was the first time
she had participated in a Web fair.
She said the school had participated
in other online exercises, such as
chats with students who had been
accepted to the school.
I think its just another mecha-
nism to try to reach applicants,
Kenyon said. With all the social
media thats available now, its not
surprising that its come to this.

ORANGE PARK, Fla.
Investigators had more than a
thousand tips but are still trying
to figure out what happened when
7-year-old Somer Thompson dis-
appeared on her walk home from a
north Florida school
last week.
At a fundraiser
Sunday for Somers
family, children
played in a bounce
house as adults
watched carefully.
They vowed to find
the girls killer and
raised about $18,500
so her mother doesnt have to go
back to work immediately.
Somers name and photo were
everywhere at the carnival-like
fundraiser, which was held in a
tree-lined park in the towns center.
A silent raffle, a bake sale and even
glittery makeovers for little girls
were offered to help the family after
the girl went missing after school
Monday. Her body was found in a
Georgia landfill Wednesday.
Ive been crying since day one,
said Amanda Wendorff, a co-orga-
nizer of the fundraiser. When its a
child, it just touches a community.
Wendorff, the wife of a Clay
County Sheriff s deputy, has four
children of her own. She urged
people at the car-
nival to be on the
lookout for any-
one suspicious
underscoring the
fear that is running
deep in the com-
munity.
Me a n w h i l e ,
detectives from
local, state and fed-
eral law enforcement agencies are
combing through tips: more than
1,150 calls from people around the
U.S. have poured in regarding the
little girl.
So far, no one has come forward
to say they saw the girl abducted or
attacked. Investigators have ruled
out all 161 registered sex offenders
who lived within a 5-mile radius of
Somers home.
Thompsons mother, Diena
Thompson, has praised the hard
work of investigators.
These detectives excuse
my language are busting their
(expletive) to find it. Because its an
it, Diena Thompson said Saturday,
referring to the killer of her daugh-
ter.
When reached by The Associated
Press by phone Sunday, Thompson
declined an interview.
I dont want to think about
doing any news until after I bury
my baby, she said.
A public viewing and funeral are
planned for Monday and Tuesday,
but graveside services and the buri-
al will be private.
Dozens of mourners and sup-
porters have held nightly vigils
outside the Thompsons home.
They have gathered around a huge
makeshift memorial of Hannah
Montana balloons, stuffed animals
and candles that have burned so
long that the wax has melted into
the grass.

Clinking beer bottles or loud
gatherings in student housing
could become grounds for staff
members to demand entry into
a room, according to a proposed
policy change.
The Department of Student
Housing recommended this
change as a better way to enforce
drinking regulations on campus.
It would allow staff members to
immediately enter the rooms of
students who are suspected of
violating policy.
As the policy stands now, offi-
cials may only enter the room
without notice when imminent
danger to life, safety, health or
property is reasonably feared.
Emily Williams is the chair-
woman of the alcohol subcom-
mittee, which is discussing over-
all alcohol policy change on cam-
pus. Williams, Overland Park
graduate student, said alcohol
abuse was a major issue in stu-
dent housing at the University.
The situation is that no mat-
ter what the rules are people
will break the rules, she said.
And so we are faced with a
very serious dilemma here as to
how to reduce drinking to the
point of abuse with our student
body. Unfortunately, that kind of
drinking is in housing.
Kiley Luckett, Garden City
senior and president of the
Association of University
Residence Halls, said the rule
caused complaints among resi-
dents who said this was a way
for staff members to enter rooms
whenever they
wanted. Luckett
said this was
not the inten-
tion.
We are not
trying to invade
rights of any of
our residents,
she said. The
purpose was
just to bet-
ter give us the
resources to
help residents if
they may be in need.
Student Housing Director
Diana Robertson said the
University was one of the few
schools that didnt already have
room access. In the Big 12,
Kansas and Iowa State are the
only two schools that dont have
this policy.
The issue is that theres a cul-
tural change that needs to take
place and address things in what
I would consider an adult and
mature manner face-to-face.
Thats what were seeking, she
said.
Members of the committee
debated the effectiveness of a
policy change.
Devon Cantwell, Topeka soph-
omore and Student Senate exec-
utive secretary, said the policy
change could potentially help
students who were losing sleep
or study time because of their
neighbors noise, but she said it
could be less effective in stop-
ping alcohol abuse.
I dont think this will neces-
sarily help any way
with the alcohol
culture on campus,
Cantwell said. But
I think it will help
the quality of life for
the students in the
residence halls.
Mathew Shepard,
Norton junior and
All Scholarship Hall
Council president,
said this was the
general reaction he
received from students who were
told about the policy proposal.
They heard about it, they
learned about it, they loved it
because they want a safe place to
come home, Shepard said.
Williams said the purpose of
the committee was to address
alcohol problems at the University
by looking to change various pol-
icies, but she said focusing on
drinking in residence halls was
still only part of the solution.
This policy is related,
Williams said about the student
housing policy change. But its
not the silver bullet for taking
care of alcohol abuse at KU.

The citys legal battle to close the
long-contested 821 Club met with
victory last week. The club surren-
dered its liquor license Tuesday and
went up for sale Thursday.
The nightclubs location at 821
Iowa St. has been the site of multiple
violent incidents this year. A man
was arrested there in March in con-
nection with a stabbing outside the
club. Another man was arrested in
April for disorderly conduct while
carrying a handgun, and three more
were arrested in July after a shooting
outside the club.
Rich Blackmon, formerly a con-
sultant to the owners, said that the
closing had everything to do with
the clubs city code violations, and
nothing to do with the violence that
had occurred there.
He said the city had fined the club
for not having the minimum num-
ber of parking spaces required by
city code to operate a nightclub.
Formerly called Club Axis, the
business changed management in
May and was renamed the 821 Club
in an attempt to salvage its reputa-
tion.
District County Judge Michael
Malone ordered the clubs owners
in September to pay the city $100
every day that it failed to meet the
minimum number of parking spac-
es, as well as $11,500 in legal fees.
The owners are due back in court
for a hearing Tuesday, and their
attorneys have filed an appeal.

Kansas Dance Marathon
starts fundraiser today
The Kansas Dance Mara-
thon, a student-led fundraising
campaign that raised roughly
$20,000 for the Childrens Mira-
cle Network last year, is starting
its second year of philanthropy
today on Strong Hall.
Claire Williams, St. Louis senior
and director of special events,
said she and other volunteers
would line Strong Hall with 100
pumpkins, donated by Wal-Mart,
which students could personal-
ize with paint and other decora-
tions from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Its something that was
simple and easy to do and some-
thing I think people on campus
will enjoy doing to beneft
the community,Williams said.
Money is a goal, but we wanted
to provide something that will
get our name out there as well.
Williams said the event would
be one of many small events the
Kansas Dance Marathon would
plan before its massive 12-hour
Dance Marathon in April. All of
the proceeds, she said, will go to
local Childrens Miracle Network
causes, including the KU Medical
Center Pediatrics and Childrens
Mercy Hospital. She said she
and the other students involved
in the planning this year were
hoping to more than double
last years contribution to the
organizations.
We are expecting a huge
increase in what we raised,Wil-
liams said. Were making small
goals to lead up to the big one.
Our goal this year is $50,000,
which would be a huge response
for a second-year marathon.

Madof associate found dead in pool

PALM BEACH, Fla. Jeffry
Picower, a philanthropist accused
of profiting more than $7 billion
from the investment schemes
of his longtime friend Bernard
Madoff, was found at the bottom
of the pool at his oceanside man-
sion and died Sunday, police said.
He was 67.
Picowers wife discovered his
body and pulled him from the
water with help from a housekeep-
er, authorities said. He was pro-
nounced dead at Good Samaritan
Medical Center at about 1:30 p.m.
Palm Beach police are investi-
gating the death as a drowning,
but have not ruled out anything on
the cause of death.
Picowers body showed no vis-
ible injuries, said Joseph Sekula,
spokesman for the Palm Beach
Fire Department.
There wasnt anything noted
as far as trauma or anything to
the body, he said, adding that it
did appear that he was swimming
because he was wearing swim-
ming trunks.
Picowers wife told responders
she had seen her husband just
15 minutes before finding him in
the pool, but she did not specify
whether she saw him in the pool
or elsewhere, Sekula said.
Detectives were still at the
home more than six hours after
the initial 911 call. The iron gate
to his long driveway was open
and several Palm Beach police cars
were parked near the mansion.
The home and property is worth
more than $33 million, according
to the county property appraisers
records.
Picower had been accused by
jilted investors of being the biggest
beneficiary of Madoff s schemes.
In a lawsuit to recover Madoff s
assets, trustee Irving Picard
demanded Picower return more
than $7 billion in bogus profits.
Irving Picard did not immediately
respond to a phone message left at
his office Sunday. Madoff s attor-
ney, Ira Sorkin, also didnt respond
to a request for comment.
Picower and his wife started
the Picower Foundation in
1989, which has given millions
to the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Human Rights First
and the New York Public Library.
It also funded diabetes research at
Harvard Medical School.
The foundation, whose assets
were managed by Madoff, said in
its 2007 tax return its investment
portfolio was valued at nearly $1
billion.
After the Madoff scandal broke
in December, the Picower founda-
tion said it would have to cease
grant-making and would be forced
to close.

BOSTON Six Harvard
University medical researchers
were poisoned in August after
drinking coffee that was laced with
a chemical preservative, according
to university officials.
In an internal memo first report-
ed in the Boston Heralds Sunday
editions, the school said the coffee
came from a machine near their lab
that later tested positive for sodium
azide, a common preservative used
in labs.
The six reported symptoms after
drinking the coffee Aug. 26, rang-
ing from dizziness to ringing in the
ears, and one passed out. They were
treated at Beth Israel Deaconess
Medical Center and later released.
The memo, written by Daniel G.
Ennis, executive dean for adminis-
tration, and Richard M. Shea, asso-
ciate dean for physical planning
and facilities, does not say whether
officials believe the poisoning was
intentional.
As always, we are mindful of the
need to be diligent about labora-
tory safety and security and the
importance of proper management
of laboratory chemicals, the memo
states.
We are in the process of install-
ing additional security cameras
throughout our buildings, and we
are strengthening the security sys-
tems that manage access to the
laboratories during both normal
business hours and off hours, it
goes on to say.
The researchers, which include
staff and students, all work in the
Harvard Medical Schools pathol-
ogy department in its new Boston
research building. They were using
mice to investigate how diseases
interact with the immune system.
Harvard spokesman David
Cameron on Sunday said university
police are investigating along with
the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration and the Boston
Public Health Commission.
Essentially, there is an ongo-
ing investigation of what appears
to be a single isolated event, he
said. Because many details are
unknown, (the medical schools)
leadership is taking additional pre-
cautionary measures to help ensure
the well-being of the community.
Cameron said as far as he knows
the lab has not been a target of
threats or animal-rights protests.

LAS VEGAS A lucky swap
and some eager building propelled
a 19-year-old Norwegian student
to the top of board game fame and
sent three would-be tycoons to the
poor house at the Monopoly World
Championship in Las Vegas.
Bjorn Halvard, who graduated
this year from the Oslo Private
Gymnasium school, captured the
title on Thursday when the battle-
ship token of 25-year-old Geoff
Christopher of New Zealand
landed consecutively on Pacific
Avenue and North Carolina
Avenue, and he couldnt afford
the combined $1,600 rent.
(Im) the most surprised you
could ever be, Halvard told The
Associated Press. I think this was
a really good final. It was the best
game I played in the whole tourna-
ment.
Halvard won $20,580 in real
money for the title the total
amount in the bank of a stan-
dard Monopoly game. The other
finalists won nothing beyond the
trip that brought each of the 41
competitors to the Caesars Palace
hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip
to represent their home countries
as national champions.
After taking out 24-year-old
Russian Oleg Korostelev, Halvard
bankrupted American champion
Rick Marinaccio, a 26-year-old
corporate lawyer from Buffalo,
N.Y., who was trying to become
the first U.S. player to win the
board game championship since
1974.

Practicing his speeches for
hours in front of the bathroom
mirror? Talking too much foreign
policy at the dinner table?
No first lady Michelle
Obama said Friday its his tennis
game. When they play, the presi-
dent usually wins.
He beats me quite often, she
said on NBCs The Jay Leno
Show, appearing via satellite
hookup from the White House.
That gets to be pretty annoying.
The show was taped for airing
later Friday evening.
In a brief skit, Leno pushed her
to talk about her husbands flaws.
At first, she sarcastically said he
has none.
Hes perfect, she quipped.
Then she let it out: Its their
battles on the tennis court that get
her peeved.
It also looks like Bo the
Obamas dog is living like a
king. The first lady said the presi-
dential pooch celebrated his first
birthday earlier this month with a
Rose Garden party.
Bo, a Portuguese water dog,
feasted on a cake shaped like a
dog house that was made out of
veal.
We had a really sweet celebra-
tion, the first lady told Leno. We
had party hats.

T
he U.S. News and World
Report recently recognized
the Universitys School
of Business for its outstanding
programs. Ranked 28th in
public universities across the
country in 2009, the school
deserves University support and
recognition.
The school was also included
in The Princeton Reviews 2010
The Best 301 Business Schools
for its Masters of Business
Administration program.
Todd Dorsey, Overland
Park junior in marketing,
entrepreneurship and psychology,
said the quality of education the
school provided was its biggest
advantage on the competition.
Our MBA program is
competitive to get into, Dorsey
said. It is sought after
because of quality
professors with a large
amount of experience
in their fields that
have chosen to give
back.
Dorsey also said the excellence
in teaching did not just extend to
graduate students. Undergraduate
students in the school benefit
from professors many and varied
experiences.
Enthusiasm trickles down
from MBAs and professors, he
said. Professors teach undergrads
and MBAs, tying examples of the
core material to what theyve done
in their life and in their career.
With experience in the
industry, professors know what
students will soon be up against.
Dorsey said it was clear how
vested professors interests are
in the success of their students.
He said the excellence observed
in the school was founded on
relationships formed between
students and professors and the
desire to prepare students for
what lies ahead.
Relationships fostered with
professors are evident, Dorsey
said. We have motivated
individuals, high quality
individuals in the MBA program
here.
Also adding to students
preparedness is the schools
Career Service Center.
Dorsey said the
CSC aided students
with interviewing,
resumes and also
sets up informational
meetings with
potential employers. The CSC also
puts on the School of Business
Career Fair each September
that draws in many local and
nationwide employers for students
to speak with and learn about
career opportunities.
Our Career Service Center in
the Business School is top notch,
Dorsey said. The Career Center
is very good at placing people
in jobs and setting them up for
success.
With all the advantages given to
students, there is one area where
the school is lacking: its facilities.
Summerfield Hall, home of the
school, detracts from the schools
appeal. When visitors come to the
University, their first impression
of the school can be deceiving and
often deterring.
Dorsey said the school was in
the process of raising money for
a new building. With the given
economy, however, he doesnt see
the transformation happening
quickly. A new facility would be
an ideal, but the there are many
other needs University-wide that
require financial support.
With its continually proven
success, the school deserves
University support in the
updating of their facilities.
Professors and students are
investing their time and energy
into making the school prominent
and they deserve a facility that is
worth their investment.
For now, the University as a
whole should applaud the school
for its efforts, and realize when
one school is recognized the
whole community benefits from
better students and better faculty.

T
wo weeks ago, I found
myself at the Nelson-
Atkins Museum of Art
in Kansas City. Twenty minutes
before closing, I suggested
to my mom that we should
visit the modern art section.
Immediately, I saw a piece of art
that for the first time attracted
me to modern art, not because
of its absurd appearance,
but because I had never seen
anything like it before.
I found myself refreshed in a
world where everything seems
to conform into repetition
music made from samples
of old tracks, movies remade
and remade while just getting
worse and worse and paintings
being simply still life paintings
or scenic photography. I had
toured through many exhibits
(Roman art to Renaissance
masterpieces) in the Nelson-
Atkins Museum. I was
interested, but not totally
entertained probably because
most of what I was looking at
was century-old oil paintings of
Christian figures. But I digress.
This piece of art I mentioned
earlier was a completely
original grouping of green
bouncy balls, some with deep
indented grooves making them
personified with individual
personalities, yet alien in their
emotionless faces. Although
original, it was completely out
of my realm of comprehension.
I was confused. I wondered
how and who makes all of
these works of modern art.
Much of it I even questioned
as being art, especially the
paintings where just one
black line zigzagged across a
canvas. Because I am not an
art critic, I tried not to judge
these unfamiliar sculptures and
paintings. All I wanted to know
was how some of these people
put them together, and what
the meaning of their choices
actually meant.
Luckily for me, I was able to
find answers at the University.
The Spencer Museum of Art
hosted an event on Thursday
that offered compelling views
into the minds of 21st-century
artists. Almost like a screening
of a movie, the group Art21
gave insight into three different
artists working in three
different modes of expression,
or lifestyles.
The three focal ideas
were compassion, fantasy
and systems (the way society
works today with everything
being information-based,
supercharged and fast paced).
These artists are on the cutting
edge of artistic creativity in
todays society. There are plenty
of places in Lawrence to view
these works of art. Galleries
on Massachusetts Street have
an ever-changing flow of art
coming and going, as well as
the loaded Spencer Museum
of Art.
Art21 also has a show
on PBS and showings from
past years available online
at www.art21.org. Because
contemporary art can be hard
to wrap ones head around, I
suggest watching these creative
videos to open your eyes to the
new art being made in these
sometimes repetitive times.

THE L
H
ip-hop is too sweet these
days. Originally emerging
as a gritty, authentic
reflection of the streets that gave it
life, hip-hop has gradually evolved
into a genre dominated by R&B
hooks and occasional verses, most
noticeably in the mainstream.
What concerns me most,
however, is that singing seems
to be making its way into the
underground ranks of the
hip-hop world as well. More
and more newly released
underground songs may have
decent, even stellar verses, only
to be irritatingly interrupted by
a lengthy R&B chorus. All too
often these hooks distract from
the tempo of the song and, in my
opinion, generally lend a softer
tone to the piece.
Dont get me wrong, of course
I am aware of how impressive and
enjoyable the R&B genre can be,
and there are irrefutably plenty
of great hip-hop tracks perfected
with just the right vocal chorus.
The issue I have with R&B and its
relationship with hip-hop is when
a chorus or vocal verse disrupts
the flow of the emcee, and
consequently disrupts the flow and
the feel of the song. Often I find
myself dreading the upcoming
choruses of many recent hip-hop
releases, yearning for them to
come to an end as soon as they
begin.
This is not the way hip-hop
should be. Hip-hop should keep
me nodding my head to the beat
throughout the entire song. At the
risk of sounding overly insensitive,
hip-hop should not involve artists
singing about their feelings or any
issues of this nature at all. Hip-hop
is the product of an unforgiving
and very real environment, and is
at its best when this street-smart,
genuine nature comes through in
its music.
The genuine nature of hip-hop,
for the record, is not singing. It
is obviously in rapping. Rappers
should act accordingly when
producing new so-called hip-hop
material. Artists proving how real
and fly they are is what real hip-
hop is all about, and what it has
always been about. Vocal choruses,
on the other hand, can often leave
the listener with a slight sense of
vulnerability, and vulnerability is
certainly not what hip-hop has
historically been about when at
its best.
I have always preferred the
method used by most old school
and old school-inspired artists
when needing a bridge between
verses: An abstract twist on
the chorus known as a scratch
hook. This is when, instead of
a sung chorus, a compilation of
scratching and cut portions of
other songs verses are mixed
together to create a break
derived from and much more
representative of the hip-hop
culture and lifestyle.
Scratch hooks are routinely
used by the most prolific and
influential producers and DJs
in the game, the most notable
example of these being legendary
producer DJ Premier, who was
among the first to introduce and
perfect the scratch hook in his
Gang Starr years.
Hip-hop became what it is
today by reflecting the harsh
reality and lifestyle of the streets
because that is the essence of
the genre in its most raw and
unadulterated form. Hip-hop is
too sweet these days, but much of
this can be remedied simply by
removing some of the sugar from
its production line.

Emission of Defeat
It is no surprise that
transportation causes 29 percent
of all U.S. greenhouse gases and
is the largest source of CO2
emissions. When Henry Ford
created the assembly line, he also
created an insatiable American
lust for the automobile and all
it represents: independence,
freedom, convenience and status.
And I suppose it is that
lust that got the better of my
boyfriend, Austin, and I this
week. Despite our efforts to
walk and ride the bus more, we
drove our cars every single day.
How did we become so utterly
dependent on our cars? Though
we had a local bus system and
we both lived within walking
distance of campus, why did we
still choose to drive?
Independence and freedom.
Similar to most American
teens, Austin and I considered
receiving our license a rite of
passage. Your first car is a symbol
of adulthood and independence,
a literal move away from your
parents. Driving a car allows us
to go where we want, when we
want without asking for someone
elses help. We have the freedom
to come and go as we please,
without having to abide by a bus
schedule.
Convenience. In a car-
oriented society such as ours,
it is no surprise that our cities
are designed to be car-friendly
and focused. Wide lanes leave
no room for bike lanes and
urban sprawl makes walking an
unreasonable choice when youre
in a hurry.
Status. I once made the
mistake of suggesting that Austin
get a Prius.
Janie, he said, Ive always
driven an SUV and Ill always
drive an SUV. I know that they
may be bad for the environment,
but I dont care. Its one of those
things I just wont give up.
Driving a car, specifically an
SUV, is part of Austins personal
identity. To him, that identity is
simply more important than any
CO2 or greenhouse gas emission.
So how do we get ourselves
to use more sustainable forms
of transportation? How do
we overcome the advantages
of driving, remember its
environmental impacts, and find
alternatives that have advantages
for both the Earth and us?
And are there simply things
we wont replace, even though
they are unsustainable?

KJHK is looking for local musi-
cians who make good music. It
is accepting entries for its annual
battle of the bands, the Farmers
Ball.
Logan Nickels, Stillwater, Okla.,
senior and KJHK station manager,
said Farmers Ball was a great way
to promote local bands.
For bands that dont have an
output, it is a good way for them to
get out there, Nickels said.
Peter Lyrene, Fairhope, Ala.,
senior and Live Events Director
for KJHK, said bands, rappers,
solo artists or musicians of any
kind were encouraged to enter.
There has been a lot more hip-
hop in the past few years, Lyrene
said.
Lyrene said eight bands would
be selected to participate in the
Farmers Ball. The bands are
selected by KJHKs music and live
events staff as well as KJHK DJs.
To be as unbiased as possible, the
judges do not know the name of
the band as they listen to entries.
The actual Farmers Ball will
take place during two nights. On
Nov. 20 at the Bottleneck, 737
New Hampshire St., all eight acts
will perform. The audience will
vote, and the best four will per-
form again the next night at the
Jackpot Saloon, 943 Massachusetts
St. The audience will then vote to
decide the winner.
Last year, we played at the
Jackpot for two nights and it was
pretty full, Nichols said. The
bands were a lot of fun and it was
a really diverse set. People were
really into it.
The winner will receive paid
recording time and discounted
band merchandise.
Lyrene said previous win-
ners included Stik Figa, Hawley
Shoffner, Boo and Boo Too, Greg
Enemy, and Ad Astra Per Aspera.
Stik Figa was someone that no
one really knew about, Lyrene
said. But now hes opening up for
major acts.

Swine fu declared national emergency
ASSociATEd PRESS
WASHINGTON President
Barack Obama declared the swine
flu outbreak a national emergency,
giving his health chief the power
to let hospitals move emergency
rooms offsite to speed treatment
and protect noninfected patients.
The declaration, signed Friday
night and announced Saturday,
comes with the disease more prev-
alent than ever in the country and
production delays undercutting
the governments initial, optimistic
estimates that as many as 120 mil-
lion doses of the vaccine could be
available by mid-October.
Health authorities say more than
1,000 people in the United States,
including almost 100 children,
have died from the strain of flu
known as H1N1, and 46 states have
widespread flu activity. So far only
11 million doses have gone out to
health departments, doctors offic-
es and other providers, according
to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention officials.
Administration officials said
the declaration was a pre-emptive
move designed to make decisions
easier when they need to be made.
Officials said the move was not in
response to any single develop-
ment.
Health and Human Services
Secretary Kathleen Sebelius now
has authority to bypass federal
rules when opening alternative
care sites.
Some hospitals have opened
drive-thrus and drive-up tent clin-
ics to screen and treat swine flu
patients. The idea is to keep infec-
tious people out of regular emer-
gency rooms and away from other
sick patients.
Hospitals could modify patient
rules for example, requiring
them to give less information to
quicken access to treatment, with
government approval, under the
declaration.
It also addresses a financial
question for hospitals reim-
bursement for treating people at
sites not typically approved. For
instance, federal rules do not allow
hospitals to put up treatment tents
more than 250 yards away from the
doors; if the tents are 300 yards or
more away, typically federal dollars
wont go to pay for treatment.
Administration officials said
those rules might not make sense
while fighting the swine flu, espe-
cially if the best piece of pavement
is in the middle of a parking lot
and some medical centers already
are putting in place parts of their
emergency plans.
I think the term emergency
declaration sounds more dramatic
than it really is, said Dr. Peter
Hotez, a research professor and
chairman of the Department of
Microbiology, Immunology and
Tropical Medicine at George
Washington University. Its largely
an administrative move thats more
preemptive ... He said such a step
would give emergency rooms and
hospitals the flexibility they need.
Many millions of Americans
have had swine flu so far, according
to an estimate that CDC Director
Dr. Thomas Frieden gave Friday.
The government doesnt test every-
one to confirm swine flu so it
doesnt have an exact count. He
also said there have been more
than 20,000 hospitalizations.
U.N. inspectors enter Iranian uranium plant
international
ASSociATEd PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran U.N. inspec-
tors entered a once-secret uranium
enrichment facility with bunker-like
construction and heavy military
protection that raised Western sus-
picions about the extent and intent
of Irans nuclear program.
The visit Sunday by the four-
member International Atomic
Energy Agency team, reported
by state media, was the first inde-
pendent look inside the planned
nuclear fuel lab, a former ammuni-
tion dump burrowed into the tree-
less hills south of Tehran and only
publicly disclosed last month. The
inspectors are expected to study
plant blueprints, interview workers
and take soil samples before wrap-
ping up the three-day mission.
No results from the inspection are
expected until the team leaves the
country, but some Iranian officials
hailed the visit as an example that
their nuclear program was open to
international scrutiny.
IAEA inspectors visit to Fordo
shows that Irans nuclear activities
are transparent and peaceful, the
official IRNA news agency quoted
lawmaker Hasan Ebrahimi as say-
ing.
Another test of Irans coopera-
tion is fast approaching, however.
Iran has promised to respond this
week to a U.N.-brokered deal to
process its nuclear fuel abroad a
plan designed to ease Western fears
about Irans potential ability to pro-
duce weapons-grade material.
The current inspection of Irans
second enrichment site came about
a month after Tehran disclosed its
existence in a letter to the IAEA, the
U.N.s nuclear watchdog. The noti-
fication to the U.N. agency came
just days before President Barack
Obama and other Western leaders
claimed Iran has been hiding the
facility from the world for years.
After Irans disclosure, U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
told Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad that the burden of
proof is on Iran to convince the
international community its nuclear
program is peaceful.
Iran says that by reporting the
existence of the site voluntarily, it
pre-empted a conspiracy by the
United States and its allies who were
hoping to present the site as evi-
dence that Iran was developing its
nuclear program in secret.
The IAEA says Tehran should
have reported it before it started
construction. And the new facility,
about 20 miles north of the holy city
of Qom, immediately raised suspi-
cions about the aim of the nuclear
program which Iran claims is
only for peaceful research and ener-
gy production.

Student arrested, charged
with aggravated burglary
A University student was
arrested after he reportedly
climbed through his neighbors
window and got into bed with
a 24-year-old Lawrence woman,
said Lawrence police Friday.
Lawrence police Sgt. Michael
Monroe said ofcers responded
to the report of a burglary about
2 a.m. near 11th and Tennessee
streets.
The woman told police she
had been sleeping in her home
and awoke to fnd an unexpected
person in bed next to her. She
recognized the man as a neigh-
bor, asked him why he was there
and ordered him to leave. A male
roommate helped to escort the
suspect out of the house.
Lawrence police arrested the
man at 2:40 a.m. on charges of
aggravated burglary and sexual
battery.
Kansas law defnes sexual
battery as the intentional touch-
ing of a non-consenting victim
with the intent to arouse or
satisfy the sexual desires of the
ofender or another.
The man was released on a
$10,000 bond at 5:37 p.m. Friday.

It was crimson and cream versus
crimson and blue. It was one of the
Big 12s most prolific offenses ver-
sus one of the Big 12s most aggres-
sive defenses. It was a preseason Big
12 North favorite versus one of the
conferences perennial top dogs.
And by the start of the fourth
quarter, it was just plain over.
That Kansas fell at the hands
of Oklahoma 35-13 on Saturday
isnt totally surprising. Even with
injuries, the Sooners still possess a
stable full of athletic and talented
players.
But what left people startled
after the game was the manner
and individual responsible for
the lopsided result: senior quarter-
back Todd Reesing and his three
interceptions.
Reesings fist-pumps and knack
for big plays have become standard
during his four years at Kansas. Its
expected and anything less is con-
sidered a disappointment.
So after the game, as is the norm,
Reesing plopped into a seat and
started answering questions. Only
this time, his playful banter was
replaced by the attitude of a man
who knew exactly what his turn-
overs meant.

T
odd Reesing floated a pass
on the games first play
intended for Dezmon
Briscoe who torched Oklahoma
a year ago only to see it inter-
cepted, putting Oklahomas offense
on Kansas 46-yard line. The result?
An 11-play drive met by little
protest from the Kansas defense
save for a near goal-line stand that
invited an invigorated crowd to
dare dream that this game would
be different.
Alas, missed and perhaps lost
opportunities will be the book
on Saturdays game, a 35-13 Kansas
defeat.
Reesings short-lived Heisman
bid was humbled. Likewise, a
chance to reestablish the Jayhawks
as the class of the Big 12 North was
greatly missed in front of a national
audience watching at home on
ABC just like last years game in
Norman, Okla.
Fiesta Bowl representatives
watched from the Kansas press box
as the Jayhawks fell far short of top-
ping an Oklahoma squad slowed by
a 3-3 start.
Reesing would be picked off
twice more Saturday, complet-
ing one of the darker days in his
storied Kansas career. The sec-
ond interception came when an
Oklahoma defensive lineman got
a finger on Reesings pass, allow-
ing linebacker Jeremy Beal enough
time to debate the merits of a pub-
lic health-insurance option before
collecting the turnover.
Defensive back Dominique
Franks made it a trilogy when he
shot past wide receiver Bradley
McDougald to steal away a pass
without breaking stride en route
to a touchdown. The score put the
Jayhawks down two touchdowns
and ultimately proved an insur-
mountable deficit.
So, yes, it was a bad day for
Reesing. Sparky was without his
spark.

For the second time this season
the Kansas volleyball team lost to
Missouri. Just like the first match,
Kansas came out strong in the first
set, but faltered in the last three
sets.
Senior defensive specialist Melissa
Grieb said that Kansas started out
well in the first set and made good
plays, but that somewhere in the
second or third set it all fell apart.
In the second and third game
was the turning point, Grieb said.
Those were games you wish you
could have back.
Coach Ray Bechard said Missouri
was just able to make more plays
than Kansas.
We played well game one and
moments of other games, Bechard
said. But when you are up 22-17 in
game four, you got to find a way to
close out the game.
Senior outside hitter Brittany
Williams said it hurt a little more
losing to Missouri and not just
another team and seeing Missouris
fans out there.
Junior outside hitter Karina
Garlington led the team with 15
kills and had a .481 hitting per-
centage. Williams was right behind
Garlington with 14 kills and a .458
hitting percentage.
Junior libero Melissa Manda led
Kansas with 19 digs and sophomore
setter Nicole Tate had 10 digs.
On the other side of the net, out-
side hitter Paola Ampudia had 35
kills for the night, a Missouri record
and a four-set Big 12 Conference
record.
Kansas fell behind 2-6 early in
the first set, but later tied the set up
at 10-10. Kansas then took a small
lead, which it held for the rest of the
set, winning the set 25-21.
Kansas and Missouri went back
and forth for most of the second set,
but Missouri pulled away late and
Kansas lost the set 21-25.
Missouri started out the third set
strong and Kansas fell behind 1-6
early. Missouri kept a strong lead
throughout the set and Kansas lost
17-25.
The start of set four was very
close, but after being tied at 10-10,
Kansas went on a 5-0 run to take a
lead. Kansas kept its lead to 22-16,
but Missouri scored the next five
points to pull within one. Kansas
could not put Missouri away and
lost the set 24-26.
Kansas fell to 11-9 (4-7) while
Missouri improved to 13-9 (5-6).
Kansas will continue Tuesday
when it faces University of Missouri
Kansas City in Kansas last non-
conference match of the season at
the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

O
n a night capped by a
controversial unani-
mous decision far from
unanimous to those that watched,
Cain Velasquez wrestled away
the spotlight at UFC 104 with his
second-consecutive domination of
an opponent far bigger and more
experienced than he.
Before light heavyweight
champion Lyoto Machida would
retain his belt against a Mauricio
Shogun Rua who many
pegged as the better fighter that
night Velasquez (7-0) turned in
the same caliber of performance
Saturday that earned current
heavyweight champion Brock
Lesnar a title shot a year ago.
Recall that Lesnar landed a
contract to fight Randy Couture
after he dominated Heath Herring
for three rounds in his home state
of Minnesota. Five hours from
his hometown of Salinas, Calif.,
Velasquez ignited the Staples
Center by scoring takedowns at
will against a much larger Ben
Rothwell (6-foot-5 to Cains 6-2,
265 pounds to his 238).
To see a man the size of
Rothwell (30-7), who made his
UFC debut, thrown around like
a discarded toy was staggering.
Velasquez violently outwrestled
Rothwell much in the way he
handled Cheick Kongo at UFC 99
in June. The difference was that
vicious elbows and punches were
peppered between the thunder-
ing single-leg takedowns. That
difference turned a three-round
domination in June into a one-
and-a-half round beatdown into
a technical knockout that earned
Velasquez a wealth of new fans
and perhaps more.
On my Kansan.com blog,
The Full Monty, I remarked that
Velasquez was one of the sports
great unknowns that we still
may have no clue just how good,
or great, he may be. Even after
Saturday his potential seems to
lack a ceiling.
I also added with my predic-
tions 2-0 calling the double
main event another prognos-
tication: a convincing Velasquez
victory puts him in the main
event of a potential UFC card
in Mexico (Velasquez country
of origin and point of immense
pride) against the winner of the
Nov. 21 Lesnar-Shane Carwin
title fight.
A quick word on Machida-
Rua. I was right in illustrating the
dangers of crowning fighters the
best in the sport. After Machidas
May title victory, there was talk
that he may never lose. Before
Saturday, the superlatives contin-
ued to spread. And then Rua made
Machida look, well, ordinary. The
two traded painful punches and
kicks early, with Machida looking
like he took the best of them.
The fight was contested largely
on foot with Machida engaging in
brief flurries but not really play-
ing the aggressor. Whether or not
Machida was overlooking Rua
in concert with most media and
fans, Rua looked to have secured
the points needed for the title. He
had Machida frustrated with each
successive (and largely successful)
kick.
Boos flooded the Staples Center
and mouths stood agape at the
decision. That it was unanimous
was curious at best. All parties
involved basically agreed to a
rematch which, perhaps, is the
only satisfying outcome.

Wizards tie United,
crushing playof hopes
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Clau-
dio Lopezs penalty kick in
second-half stoppage time
salvaged a 2-2 tie for the Kansas
City Wizards against D.C. United
on Saturday night.
The draw efectively ended
Uniteds playof hopes in the
regular-season fnale for both
teams.
Julius James header in the
82nd minute gave United a 2-1
lead, but D.C. midfelder Fred
drew a handball and automatic
red card for using his arm to
block Roger Espinozas shot
on the goal line in the second
minute of extra time.
Lopez put the ball past Steve
Cronin for the second penalty-
kick goal of the game.
With six teams still in the
hunt for the fnal two playof
spots going into the week-
end, D.C. (9-8-13) could have
qualifed with a draw but would
have needed plenty of help.
The Wizards (8-13-9), winless
in their fnal fve matches, were
eliminated with last weeks 3-2
home loss to Seattle.
Kei Kamaras 30th-minute
header put the Wizards up
1-0, but Jaime Moreno, a late
frst-half sub, equalized with a
penalty kick in the 67th after
drawing a foul against Kansas
Citys Matt Marquess.
Replays showed Moreno
backing into Marquess, who
was making his frst appear-
ance of the season, and falling
backward to the pitch.
James made it 2-1 after
pouncing on a short punch-
save by Kansas City goalkeeper
Kevin Hartman.
Kamaras goal from 6 yards,
of a free kick from Graham
Zusi, was his sixth of the season
but the frst since Kansas City
acquired him from Houston in
mid-September.
It was only the 12th frst-half
goal for Kansas City this year.
The Wizards are 8-0-4 when
scoring frst.

The string that holds Kansas
postseason hopes alive grew thin-
ner this weekend after losing to
Nebraska, but is still intact after a
victory against Iowa State.
Fridays match against Nebraska
(10-4-4, 4-3-2 Big 12) was the kind
of defeat that takes awhile to com-
pletely digest. The Jayhawks came
into the game knowing they had to
win to keep any control over their
playoff hopes.
But within the first 32 min-
utes, the Cornhuskers deflated the
Jayhawks by taking an early 3-0
lead. All three goals came from
long strikes of more than 20 yards.
Then, the Jayhawks looked
like they might
put together an
inspired come-
back.
A perfectly
placed free kick
from senior
Monica Dolinsky
and a rebound
goal from junior
Caitlin Noble in
the 43rd and 52nd
minutes placed Kansas within one,
and the momentum seemed to be
swinging in their favor.
But Nebraska responded with
two goals in seven minutes, one
from a bicycle kick from Anna
Caniglia, to gain a 5-2 lead.
Every time we created a chance
or were pressuring them, they just
came down and got a goal, said
Dolinsky.
Senior Estelle Johnson scored in
the 72nd minute to bring a sliver of
hope back to Kansas, but Nebraska
continued its attack
scoring two more.
Sophomore Emily
Cressy gave the
Jayhawks one more
with under a minute
left in the game, but
it wasnt enough to
avoid a lopsided 7-4
lose.
It was the highest
scoring match in
Kansas history, and the second-
highest in Big 12 history. The seven
goals were the most the Jayhawks
had allowed since 1999, which also
came against Nebraska. Kansas
players were at a loss after the
game.
Its kind of a hit on our pride,
senior Lauren Jackson said. But
we just have to move on.
The Jayhawks held the
nations leading scorer, Morgan
Marlborough, scoreless through-
out the whole game, but the
Cornhuskers high-pressure attack
and kick-and-chase style frustrated
the Kansas defense all afternoon.
You have to drop down to
their level, because they suck you
into doing that, said
Jackson.
Despite the result,
coach Mark Francis
couldnt blame the
loss on a lack of effort.
Kansas continued to
create scoring oppor-
tunities and make runs
through the Nebraska
defense late into the
game.
Even when they got 5 or 6 we
were still fighting and battling
we didnt quit, Francis said. Its
disheartening when you fight that
hard on the field to give up some
of the goals we did today.
The loss essentially made
Sundays game against Iowa State
(7-8-4, 2-7 Big 12) an elimination
game. Both Kansas and Iowa State
would be out of playoff contention
with a loss.
The Jayhawks attacked the
Cyclones from the starting whistle
as if their season depended on it.
Kansas dominated the shot
count, hitting 25 through-
out the game, while Iowa State
managed only seven.
But the game remained score-
less until Cressy was tripped in
the penalty area and the referee
awarded Kansas a penalty kick.
Dolinsky buried the shot in the net
for the games only goal.
Last year I had a PK against
them and I missed, so that raced
through my head, Dolinsky said.
But I was fine and the girls were
behind me.
Jackson may
have single hand-
edly saved the
Jayhawks post-
season hopes
when she cleared
a ball away from
the Kansas goal
that freshman
goalkeeper Kat
Liebetrau missed.
The game ended 1-0 for Kansas,
keeping its Big 12 Tournament
hopes alive for now.
Francis said he thought his team
played some of the best soccer
it had played all year in the last
couple of weekends, despite some
poor results. The team can only
hope to come up big next Friday
against Missouri, who leads the
conference with a perfect record in
the Big 12.
The bottom line is we go into
our last game with something to
play for, Francis said. Were still
in there.

Team loses but takes frst
in some individual events
After two grueling duals, the
Kansas swimming and diving
team returned to campus with
losses against both Florida and
Arkansas.
Before the meet, coach Clark
Campbell acknowledged the dif-
culty his team faced in competing
against the two SEC schools.
Even though we might lose,
the dual season record has no
bearing on postseason qualify-
ing, Campbell said.
Despite that fact, the team
approached the meet exactly as it
would any other meet and came
away with a few notable suc-
cesses. In the absence of Gemma
Spoforth, Floridas backstroke
world record holder, junior Iuliia
Kuzhil dominated the backstroke
events. She fnished frst in the
100-yard backstroke with a time
of 55.10 and took frst in the
200-yard backstroke with a time
of 2:01.37.
Senior diver Meghan Proehl
also turned in some stellar
performances as she won both
the 1-meter and 3-meter diving
events.
In the last race of the day Ku-
zhil teamed up with seniors Erin
Goetz and Emily Lanteigne and
freshman Monica Johannessen
to capture frst place in the 200-
yard freestyle relay with a time of
1:35.26.
Aside from the aforementioned
events the Jayhawks struggled to
crack the top three in any other
event en route to a 196-112 loss
to the Razorbacks and a 205-103
loss to the Gators

ASSOciATEd PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. All that
talk about San Diego getting better
may not be all talk.
Six days after a disappointing
Monday night loss to Denver in
which they insisted theyd made
strides, the Chargers swatted away
the flu bug and stomped on Kansas
City 37-7 Sunday, dominating in
virtually every phase.
Philip Rivers threw three
touchdown passes, LaDainian
Tomlinson had a season-best 71
yards rushing and Nate Kaeding,
who was vomiting with flulike
symptoms Saturday, kicked three
field goals.
Last week, we felt like we made
progress, Rivers said. We had
the attitude we were looking for,
focus, but we didnt win. But we
knew we got better.
The Chargers (3-3) battled the
flu much of the week. Tomlinson
was unable to practice Wednesday,
but the five-time Pro Bowl selec-
tion showed signs of getting back
to his old self. His 36-yard run
got the Chargers rolling on their
first touchdown drive against the
hapless Chiefs (1-6) and was his
longest since last Dec. 28 against
Denver.
It kind of got us going,
Tomlinson said. It was something
we needed and it was a big play for
us. It was a staple of our offense. Its
been around for years, old power.
It was perfectly blocked and was
just a great job of execution.
With cold rain falling in the
fourth quarter and Chiefs fans
probably thinking nothing else
could go wrong, something else
did. Jacob Hester blew in from
Dustin Colquitts right and blocked
his punt.
The ball cooperated nicely, skit-
tering 20 yards back into the end
zone and waiting there for Hester
to fall on it for San Diegos final
TD.
My leg was coming through
and any time you heard that dou-
ble thump ... I didnt see him
at all until the last second, said
Colquitt, whose punting has been
one of the few bright spots for
Kansas City. That double thump
is a bad sound.
Virtually invincible in
Arrowhead Stadium in the 1990s,
the Chiefs have lost 10 straight at
home and 29 of their last 32.
We want to win for the home
fans, for us, for everyone out
there watching, nose tackle Ron
Edwards said. Its real painful.
Rivers was 18 for 30 for 268
yards and three TDs as the
Chargers won their third in a row
in Kansas City for the first time
since 1981. They took a 20-0 half-
time lead.
Any time you come to Kansas
City and win, its good, said Rivers,
who had two 51-yard completions
to Vincent Jackson. We talked
about getting on a roll and youve
got to win one first before you can.
Hopefully, this is something we
can build on.
The Chiefs had hoped a sloppy
win over Washington the week
before might provide some much-
needed momentum to first-year
coach Todd Haleys faltering pro-
gram. But they played miserably
in just about every phase.
You never want to lose at home
and you never want to lose in this
fashion, Cassel said. Its going to
be a hard film to watch.
Cassel was only 10 for 25 for 97
yards. He threw three intercep-
tions and an injured line allowed
him to be sacked four times.

The glass is half full
For the second consecutive week, Kansas once-maligned defense
played well enough to pull out a victory. The Jayhawks clamped down
in the frst half, consistently forcing the Sooners to punt. Kansas held
Oklahoma to 14 frst-half points and 85 rushing yards in the game.

The glass is half empTy
Kansas was never really competitive with Oklahoma after halftime.
The Sooners scored on their frst two possessions, while the Jayhawks
continued to struggle ofensively. Oklahoma aforded Kansas a chance
to grab a signature home victory. Instead, similar to last season, the
Jayhawks failed to keep it close after halftime.
D-line Doing iTs job?
Kansas defensive front didnt sack Oklahoma freshman quarterback
Landry Jones. But, other than that, the Jayhawks played a solid game.
Kansas didnt allowOklahoma much roomto run the ball, and the
Jayhawks didnt give Jones enough time to fnd receivers for big plays
down the feld.
biggesT answer
Kansas isnt ready to compete with the Big 12s top teams. True,
Oklahoma entered Saturday 3-3. But the Sooners are still one of the
conferences best teams. Kansas was never really in the game after
halftime and appeared outmatched athletically at times.
sTill quesTioning
The Big 12 North. No one, it seems, has any idea of what to expect in
the North this season. Preseason favorites Nebraska and Kansas each
have two losses. So, too, do Colorado and Iowa State. Kansas State sits
atop the conference with a 3-1 record. Basically, the Big 12 North is still
completely up for grabs.
looking aheaD
Kansas travels to the plains of Texas to face the pass-heavy attack of
Texas Tech. The Jayhawks revamped secondary will be put to the Big
12s best test next week as the Red Raiders lead the conference in pass-
ing yards. Kansas needs two or three turnovers to keep it close.
gooD, baD or jusT plain sTupiD?
original prediction: Oklahoma 42, Kansas 35. Actual score: Oklaho-
ma 35, Kansas 13. The Sooners entered the game with plenty of hype
surrounding their defense, and the unit didnt disappoint on Saturday.
Still, its hard to ever predict that Reesing will toss three interceptions.
final ThoughT
The good news: The Big 12 North is still open for the taking as
mediocrity seems to surround each team. The bad news: Kansas has
arguably the most difcult remaining schedule of any team.

Sophomore cornerback Ryan Murphy on the
struggles of senior quarterback Todd Reesing: Hes
going to make mistakes sometimes, and hes not go-
ing to play a perfect game every single time. I mean,
hes not Superman.
huldonTharp. Tharp, a freshman, has continued to improve with
more playing time this season. That trend continued on Saturday.
Tharp recorded seven tackles and, at times, made big plays when
defending the pass.
justin springer. Springer led Kansas with nine tackles, including
two tackles behind the line of scrimmage. And he was a consistent
presence in stopping Oklahomas run attack: The Sooners rushed for
just 85 yards.
jacob branstetter. Branstetter connected on both of his feld goal
attempts late in the second quarter, cutting Oklahomas halftime lead
to 14-6. Branstetters second attempt sailed a career-long 57 yards.
Plus, he erupted into a classic celebration, sprinting frommidfeld all
the way to Kansas locker room.
D.j. beshears. Granted, Beshears did make his frst start on Satur-
day and, at times, made nice open-feld tackles. But he was fagged for
two blatantly obvious pass interference calls and had to be replaced
by sophomore cornerback Daymond Patterson in the second half.
jefwheeler. In the frst half Wheeler jumped ofsides, efectively
negating senior Darrell Stuckeys forced and recovered fumble deep
inside Oklahoma territory. Then, on the Sooners frst drive after half-
time, Wheeler was fagged for roughing the passer after Kansas forced
an upcoming third down.
Todd reesing. Reesing tossed three frst-half interceptions, includ-
ing one that was returned 85 yards for a touchdown. Kansas senior
quarterback also struggled with his accuracy: He completed just 53
percent of his passes and missed a handful of open receivers.
After sophomore defensive back Ryan Murphys interception, Kansas
moved the ball to Oklahomas 40 with only seconds remaining the in
half. Junior kicker Jacob Branstetter trotted onto the feld and booted a
career-long 57-yard feld goal as time expired. The kick cut Oklahomas
lead to 14-6 and sent Branstetter sprinting to the locker room.
BY CLARK GOBLE

In Saturdays game against Oklahoma,
Todd Reesing left the pocket to give his
receivers time to run their deep routes.
Or, he left to scramble for a first
down.
But most of the time, the 5-foot-11
Reesing had to leave the pocket just so he
could get a throw off without it getting
knocked down by Oklahomas intimidat-
ing defensive line.
Their front four is about as big and
physical as youre going to see, Reesing
said. They did a pretty good job get-
ting pressure on some of our longer,
down-the-field throws. With the pressure
theyre able to get, with how good their
defensive line is, its a little bit tougher
to sit in the pocket and wait for those to
open up.
Coach Mark Mangino said that some-
times Reesing had to slide right or left to
find a window, and other times he had to
use a sidearm delivery to get the ball to
his receivers.
Mangino praised Oklahomas defen-
sive front four for their ability to reach
into the passing lanes and affect Reesings
throws.
Center Jeremiah Hatch, who squared
off with top five NFL draft prospect
Gerald McCoy for most of the game, said
it was a big challenge to play against one
of the best units in college football.
But we got to play as a team no mat-
ter who were going against, Hatch said.
They were pretty good though.
The best play by the defensive line
came in the first quarter when defensive
end Jeremy Beal deflected a pass attempt
and immediately intercepted the next
play a pass from Reesing that defen-
sive tackle Adrian Taylor had tipped high
into the air. Beal was dropping into pass
coverage and recorded his first career
interception.
In the third quarter, McCoy also
deflected a Reesing pass to go with his
two tackles for loss. Beal and Taylor
picked up two unofficial quarterback
hurries each.
Senior running back Jake Sharp said
he first noted the Oklahoma defensive
units strategies while watching a film of
its performance against Texas. The unit
continued to impress Sharp throughout
the game by playing hard on every snap.
Sharp picked up just 14 yards on seven
carries.
Hatch said that he thought that the
Sooner defensive line was only the first
roadblock that the Jayhawks would hit
in conference play. He said even better
defensive lines were in store.

kansas drops out of rankings
As expected, Kansas fell from the top
25 in both the AP poll and the USA Today
poll. The Jayhawks were ranked 24th in
the AP and 21st in the USA Today rank-
ings.
This marks the frst time all season that
Kansas hasnt been ranked in any of the
polls.
Only three teams in the Big 12 remain
in the polls, and the Big 12 North is cur-
rently without any ranked teams.

branstetter's 57-yard feld goal
the longest of his college career
When junior kicker Jacob Branstetter
jogged onto the feld with three seconds
remaining in the frst half to attempt a
57-yard feld goal, some inside Memorial
Stadiumwere certainly scratching their
heads.
After all, Branstetters previous career-
long was a 34-yard feld goal. But Bran-
stetter connected on the feld goal and
cut Oklahomas halftime lead to 14-6.
Branstetter sprinted frommidfeld all
the way to Kansas locker roomafter the
kick.
That was the craziest feeling Ive ever
had, Branstetter said. When I hit it I was
like, Man, I think I hit it far enough. Then I
was trying to sayStay left, stay left. When
it stayed in there, I went nuts.
kansas not awed by oklahoma
Oklahoma is undoubtedly one of the
Big 12s most storied football programs.
After the game, though, the Jayhawks said
there was no sense of awe or playing at a
disadvantage against the Sooners.
In fact, players said that Kansas should
have had a lead heading into halftime.
Instead, Kansas trailed Oklahoma 14-6.
We felt like we shouldve had a lead,
sophomore center Jeremiah Hatch said.
Those guys put on their pants the same
way we put on our pants. We felt like we
were contenders in the game.
Jayson Jenks
Rough day at the office for us, Reesing
said. Thats for sure.
For the second consecutive week,
Reesings first-half turnovers placed
Kansas in the bottom of a hole, forced
to claw and scrap to even reach level
surface.
Against Colorado, Reesings two turn-
overs led to 14 points. The same sce-
nario happened Saturday when Reesings
miscues allowed Oklahoma to score an
offensive touchdown and return an inter-
ception 85 yards for another score.
After the game, though, Reesings
teammates and coaches rallied around
their quarterback.
Mangino saidsome of the blame should
be placed on his shoulders. Reesings
teammates said that he would be fine and
that bad games could and did hap-
pen to anyone.
If there was any resentment, Kansas
players kept those cards face-down. They
wanted to make one point certainly clear:
Todd Reesing is human.
No one is perfect, sophomore center
Jeremiah Hatch said.
Hes not Superman, sophomore cor-
nerback Ryan Murphy said.
But the standard Reesing built with big
plays and an Orange Bowl victory almost
portrayed a superhero-type quarterback
sent from Texas to rescue a middling
football program.
Fair or not accurate or unrealis-
tic thats become the level people in
Lawrence expect.
That expectation is there, and its there
for a reason, Reesing said. If you dont
have that kind of expectation then youre
not doing something right. Its frustrating
because I hold myself to the highest stan-
dard out of anybody. Nobody takes that
performance harder than I do.
The general thought around those
whove played or currently play with
Reesing is rather simple. Hes going to
scramble. Hes going to attempt to make
big plays. And more often than not, hes
going to be successful.
Yet Saturday marked a rare game when
Reesing simply faltered, digging an almost
insurmountable hole considering the
lockdown nature of Oklahomas defense.
And the turnovers only piled more
pressure onto Kansas defenders, who
held Oklahoma in check through the
first half before allowing two touchdowns
early in the third quarter that put the
game out of reach.
They put us in position to make good
plays and get us in the ball game, Reesing
said. And we let themdown today.
If not for a late touchdown with the
game all but finished, Saturday would
have marked the first time Kansas failed
to score an offensive touchdown since
2005. In that game, Kansas played against
you guessed it Oklahoma.
The Sooners entered Saturday with
plenty of hype surrounding their defense.
The success started early with a relent-
less and physically loaded defensive line
that routinely pressured Reesing. Kansas
receivers, meanwhile, struggled with sep-
aration against the secondarys speed.
With how athletic their defense is
and with how much overall speed they
have, you cant be late on a read, Reesing
said. If youre a half-second late on a
throw or just a little bit off the spot,
theyre going to be there to make a
play on it.
Added senior wide receiver Kerry
Meier: What we saw today is about
as good as you can get.
With 11 minutes left in the game,
Memorial Stadium was more half-
empty than half-full.
The student section was sparsely
dotted with fans, the game day towels
remained at peoples sides and the
electricity and noise from earlier in
the afternoon had been switched off.
Reesings three turnovers werent
the only reason for Kansas loss, but
they certainly placed the Jayhawks
in a steep uphill battle they couldnt
overcome.
The turnovers set the tempo of
the game and put us in a hole early,
coach Mark Mangino said. We had
to play catch-up football and we cant
do that to ourselves. Weve done that
now a couple weeks in a row.
Edited by Amanda Thompson
Colorado redux only worse.
That magic, that tossed-up prayer
answered, that superlative moment
like so many weve come to expect
was missing.
There are no excuses, coach
Mark Mangino said. He has made
some throws that he should not have.
He knows that, we all know that.
And so Kansas State and Iowa
State not Kansas, Missouri or
Nebraska sit atop the Big 12
North standings on Oct. 26, with
just five games left to play. The
Cyclones could have been cited
for indecent exposure in Lincoln,
Neb., as they practically depantsed
the Cornhuskers and their bid for a
special year. Without the aid of quar-
terback Austen Arnaud and one of
the Big 12s leading rushers in run-
ning back Alexander Robinson, Iowa
State held on for a 9-7 victory against
Nebraska, its defense forcing a whop-
ping eight turnovers in Memorial
Stadiums 302nd sellout.
At Faurot Field, Texas smacked
Missouri around to a final result of
41-7 in the second half of ABCs pro-
duction of the Haves (Big 12 South)
vs. the Have-Nots (Big 12 North).
Theres little reason to think
Kansas has much more than a
fighters chance in Lubbock on
Halloween night. But strangely its
not the Kansas defense that looks
worse off. No, that unit actually held
Oklahoma to seven first-half points
(Reesing supplied the other score
with the aforementioned pick-six).
Kansas simply couldnt make good
on its opportunities Saturday, inside
and out of Lawrence.
But until Kansas State and Iowa
State shock us once or twice more, all
this really boils down to for Kansas
is aiming for the Big 12 North title.
Like its heartbreaker a week ago,
Kansas was felled while its supposed
top competition faltered, too.
All things held constant, Kansas
could yet be the best of a six-team
bunch being groomed for a beat-
down in the Big 12 title game.

recorded one other feld goal in Kansas' 35-13 loss. The 57-yard feld goal marked a career long for Branstetter and tied for the fourth longest in KU history. "I felt like the
way I had been kicking the ball in practice and the last couple of games I had been really hitting the ball really solid," Branstetter said.

IOWA STATE 9,
NEBRASKA 7
Nebraska committed eight turn-
overs, tying a school record, in a 9-7
loss to Iowa State.
The victory ended the Cyclones
15-game Big 12 losing streak in
games played away from Ames,
Iowa.
Iowa State was able to hold on
despite losing starting quarterback
Austen Arnaud to an injury to his
throwing hand. Backup quarterback
Jerome Tiller rushed for 65 yards on
19 carries.
The Cyclones didnt have Big 12
leading rusher Alexander Robinson
either. He sat out with a groin
injury, and freshman running back
Jeremiah Schwartz picked up 50
yards in his place.
It was Nebraskas second straight
loss at home, which drops it to 1-2
in conference play.
OKLAHOMA STATE 34,
BAYLOR 7
Still playing without injured run-
ning back Kendall Hunter or sus-
pended wide receiver Dez Bryant,
Oklahoma State cruised to a vic-
tory against Baylor.
Oklahoma State quarterback
Zac Robinson completed 23 of
27 passes for 250 yards and three
touchdowns. He is now just 217
passing yards shy of the school
record, held by coach Mike
Gundy.
The Cowboys have scored at
least 34 points in six consecutive
games.
Baylor has lost 20 straight
games to ranked opponents, and
it wont get any easier to find a
win. The team takes on Nebraska,
Missouri and Texas in the next
three weeks.
KANSAS STATE 20,
COLORADO 6
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder
isnt trying to be tricky with his
offense.
Once again, he rode running
back Daniel Thomas for 20 carries
and 145 yards to pull away from
Colorado.
But though the running game
has been crucial for the Wildcats,
the defenses improvement has
been the biggest key for Kansas
States success. After getting just
six turnovers in the first six games,
the Wildcats have forced 10 turn-
overs in the last two weeks.
Colorado took a 6-3 lead in
the first quarter, but the Wildcats
running game wore down the
Buffaloes defense.
The last time Colorado quarter-
back Tyler Hansen faced Kansas
State, he improvised all over the
field and led his team to a 14-13
victory. The Wildcats were pre-
pared for Hansen this time, hold-
ing the quarterback to just 81 total
yards. He was replaced by Cody
Hawkins in the second half.
TEXAS 41, MISSOURI 7
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy
completed his first 11 passes and
led his team to three touchdowns
on the first three drives to cruise
by Missouri on homecoming in
Columbia, Mo.
The Longhorns took a 35-7
lead into halftime and didnt look
back.
Missouri quarterback Blaine
Gabbert threw for just 84 yards
before being relegated to the bench
late in the third quarter. His team
falls to 0-3 in Big 12 play.
Texas wide receiver Jordan
Shipley caught seven passes for
108 yards and two touchdowns.
The Longhorns have never lost
the week immediately after the
Red River Rivalry game under
coach Mack Brown.
TEXAS A&M 52,
TEXAS TECH 30
Make sense of this.
Kansas State lost big to Texas
Tech two weeks ago. Last week,
Kansas State won huge over Texas
A&M.
And Saturday, the Aggies beat
the Red Raiders by 22.
Go figure.
It was the Aggies first victory
against a ranked team under coach
Mike Sherman. It was also Texas
A&Ms first victory in Lubbock,
Texas, since 1993.
Running back Cyrus Gray
scored four touchdowns and
rushed for 131 yards. Backfield
partner Christine Michael picked
up 122 yards and two touch-
downs.
Texas Tech junior quarterback
Taylor Potts returned from an inju-
ry to start for coach Mike Leach,
but turned the ball over three
times and No More Potts chants
rained from the student section.
Backup quarterback junior Steven
Sheffield, who had been starting
for a couple of weeks, was on the
sideline in street clothes.

Iowa State, Kansas State shake up North race
Florida takes No. 1 spot on AP poll away from Alabama
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Flip-flop.
Florida regained the top spot
Sunday in The Associated Press
poll from Alabama, which was
ranked No. 1 for a week ahead of
the Gators.
The Crimson Tide needed a
blocked field goal on the last play to
beat Tennessee 12-10 on Saturday,
while Florida pulled away from
Mississippi State in the fourth quar-
ter for a 29-19 victory. The Gators
received 30 first-place votes to
Alabamas 23.
No. 3 Texas got seven first-
place votes after its 41-7
victory at Missouri.
The last time two teams flip-
flopped in the top two spots of the
AP Top 25 from one week to the
next was 1992, when Miami and
Washington did it.
Like Texas, No. 4 Southern
California, No. 5 Cincinnati, No.
6 Boise State and No. 7 Iowa held
their places in the latest media rank-
ings.
TCU jumped two spots to No.
8 after a 38-7 victory at Mountain
West Conference rival BYU. LSU
stayed at No. 9 and Oregon moved
up two spots to No. 10.
The Ducks host USC on Saturday
in a game with huge Pac-10 champi-
onship implications.
Florida began the season as an
overwhelming No. 1 in the AP poll.
Alabama started five and steadily

Jayhawks wrap up season
Off-season will provide team with time to focus
Weston White/KANSAN
Sophomore Alessandra Dzuba returns a shot Sunday morning against Iowa State during a doubles match at First Serve Tennis Complex. Dzuba
and her parter, junior Kate Gof, recorded their frst victory of the season as doubles partners.

Alie Dzuba hung her head as she
walked off the court after losing
in three close sets to Ana Gomez
Aleman from
Kansas State. The
last weekend of
play for the fall
tennis season
ended with an air
of disappointment
for Kansas.
The Jayhawks
competed in two
weekend tour-
naments the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association
Regional tournament in Norman,
Okla., and the KU Invitational at
First Serve and came out with
a combined 11-19 record. Other
than a 3-2 performance by junior
Maria Martinez at the KU tourna-
ment, no team member posted a
winning record.
In Norman, the doubles teams
of Sara Lazarevic and Ekaterina
Morozova and Erin Wilbert and
Victoria Khanevskaya both opened
play Thursday with first round
losses. But both duos recovered
from the early deficits and won
their consolation rounds against
Wichita State University and Saint
Louis University.
On the singles side, sophomores
Wilbert and Morozova recorded
victories in the first round and
then were eliminated in the second.
Despite losing in the first round,
freshman Lazarevic
bounced back to
win two consola-
tion rounds against
Minnesota and Saint
Louis. She nearly got
through the quarterfi-
nals of the back draw,
but a three-set loss to
Oklahoma ended her
run.
Some games we played well,
but I dont think we put the pack-
age together for this tournament,
coach Amy Hall-
Holt said.
Maybe the team
didnt finish as
well as she hoped,
but she was quick
to point out that
she wasnt dis-
couraged.
We did some
really good things
at regionals, but
we still have a lot of growing to
do, Hall-Holt said. Now the girls
see where we need to be for spring.
We had two freshmen and two
sophomores so we probably had
the youngest group there.
Play in Lawrence also had its
ups and downs. On a high note,
Martinez kicked off the first day
of competition with both a singles
and doubles victory. After cruis-
ing to a 6-0, 6-2 victory against
University of Missouri-Kansas
City, she paired up with senior
Kuni Dorn to dominate through
a duo from Abilene Christian
University, 8-2.
A second-round singles victory
landed Martinez in the semifinal
round of her bracket, but a 6-4,
6-4 loss to Missouri kept her from
continuing.
Dorn was not quite as successful
in the singles brack-
et. She began Friday
with a three-set loss
to Abilene Christian,
and then suffered an
elbow injury in the
consolation round
Saturday, which kept
her from playing any
more matches. She
spent the rest of the
weekend cheering for
her teammates on the sidelines.
The other Jayhawk doubles team
of junior Kate Goff and Dzuba
tallied one victory together, but
it took three tries to achieve it.
The first two days resulted in loss-
es to New Mexico and Abeline
Christian, but they battled back to
defeat Iowa State 8-4 Sunday.
Singles play for Dzuba gave her
a taste of what might be to come
during spring conference play.
Besides one match against New
Mexico, her other three matchups
were against Big 12 opponents
one from Iowa State and two from
in-state rival Kansas State.
The Wildcats prevailed both
times, the last one being the final
fall match for the Jayhawks.
It took three sets for Ana Gomez
Aleman to defeat Dzuba, and each
one was close. The rest of the
Kansas team was already finished
and supported Dzuba from the
side of the court, but Aleman
eventually prevailed to earn a 6-3,
4-6, 10-8 victory.
It got the team cheering for
me, Dzuba said of the long match.
She was a good player and just
stepped it up.
When it was all said and done,
assistant coach German Dalmagro
had critical, yet supportive
thoughts about the tournament.
The weekend was positive,
Dalmagro said. We saw some
good things and some things we
need to work on. It gave us a
perspective of where we are and
where we need to be. Now we can
look forward to the off-season and
work hard on individual improve-
ment to get ready for the spring.
With three months of off-sea-
son ahead of it, the squad will now
have some time to focus on that
improvement. The Jayhawks will
open their spring season Jan. 30 at
Drake University in Des Moines,
Iowa.
