FedEx Kinkos considers Union

Contract slows move to campus
By aly BaRland

Change confuses former workers

Printing services officially closed June 30, and John Sayler still doesnt know exactly why it happened. It wasnt a decision made by me or recommended by staff, said Sayler, former director of KU Printing Services. Its something that came from Strong Hall. Printing services would have moved its digital copying equipment from its former location in 1530 Wescoe to a space in the Kansas Union, but at the last minute, FedEx Kinkos took its place, he said. I dont know what happened, said David Mucci, director of the Kansas Union. Our role in it was providing a space for Kinkos to lease. The Kansas Union already printed most of its paperwork at the FedEx Kinkos, 911 Massachusetts St. location, Mucci said. But the Union was required to send its paperwork through the printing services when it was in service. The University could not disclose exactly why it chose Kinkos, said Barry Swanson, associate comptroller of purchasing at the University of Kansas. Although it has been announced that the University has chosen FedEx Kinkos, the contract has not been signed, so specific information could not be given. Most of the employees at Printing Services found jobs, with some taking a substantial pay cut, Sayler said. Pay at the state level increases over a number of years, and many employees had worked there for 10 to 15 years, he said. Printer classifications are similar to certifications needed for other technical trades, like plumbing and carpentry, Sayler said. Printing Services employed 16 of these skilled workers, and eight unskilled clerical workers. Two skilled employees from upper management plus Sayler retired following the change. I was planning on retiring anyway, but the timing was not my choice, Sayler said. Mucci said there were advantages to having a campus location. The Union was required to conduct business with KU Printing Services, which the University began downsizing in January, Mucci said. If the University approves a contract with FedEx Kinkos, with whom the state has already signed a contract, better efficiency could result, Swanson said.

If the plan goes as it was drawn up, students may be only a few months away from making copies without stepping off campus. The University of Kansas is in negotiations with FedEx Kinkos to develop a contract to bring the company to the Kansas Union. Pat Beard, director of Building Services KU Memorial Unions, said he hoped to have FedEx Kinkos available by late October or early November. Weve not got a lease agreement yet. As I understand it they are still negotiating their contract with the state for that service. Once theyve confirmed a contract with the University then well look in earnest at Level 3 South Atrium space, Beard said. Beard said the goal was to create a mini-mall environment in the Kansas Union to provide students with all their needs. Were starting to kind of develop a hub here and thats kind of our role on campus. Our goal is to make it as convenient as possible and this is one of those conveniences we can add, Beard said. Nicole Westerbeck, Leavenworth senior, said she thought that the location would be more convenient than the downtown business for students, especially those who lived on campus. Its closer for people in dorms and itll be more convenient for

people on campus, Westerbeck said. Carrie Callen, Garden City senior, said there was a definite need for a FedEx Kinkos on campus but disagreed with the location. I think its a bad location. I think it should be more centrally located, Callen said. Lacey Hautzinger, spokesperson for FedEx Kinkos, said the company already had 29 campus locations nationwide and planned to provide packaging and shipping, self-service black and white printing, and full staff to assist students with more advanced projects. We should be providing all of our standard services, Hautzinger said. The Unions use of postal services such as Mail Boxes Etc. and US Postal Service has not been successful in the past. All University departments had to print through KU Printing Services, leaving only student business for the Union. Students alone did not generate enough profit for the Kansas Unions postal services. You cant really generate a profit on stamps, Beard said. Now that Printing Services has closed, Beard said he predicted that FedEx Kinkos would have more business than past postal services because University departments as well as students would use it. We were competing with KU services, who had an exclusivity for printing services here on campus. When they closed, that kind of opened the door for the income that could be derived from a copy operation, Beard said. Edited by Erick R. Schmidt

I think that its a good idea, but I probably personally wouldnt use it.

Question: Do you think FedEx Kinkos at the Kansas Union is a good idea and will you use it?

-Saranne Bergen, Sioux City, Iowa, senior

I think it would be really helpful. Sometimes I have to run downtown and that would be a hassle.

Getting a FedEx Kinkos on campus is a great idea because its easy for my parents to send packages to me. I would use it to upload pictures because I dont have a scanner.

While the construction at Allen Fieldhouse continues, students debate changes made to the 50-year-old structure. The construction had students, like Pat Swain, St. Paul, Minn., freshman, wondering how it would affect the atmosphere of the building. Its old and has a lot of tradition, Swain said. It was just more authentic. According to an unscientific Kansan online poll, 37 percent of students responded that the fieldhouse was old and needed a face-lift. But 31 percent agreed with the statement that the fieldhouse was a piece of history and should have remained unchanged. Twenty-seven percent voted that things change, and the finished outcome would look good, Three percent of students responded they werent interested in the changes because they disliked

The renovation of the fieldhouse continues and will be completed by the first mens basketball game, November 18. The major interior renovations of the fieldhouse include a new court and a new video board. basketball. In total, 223 students participated in the poll. Swain said he wished that the fieldhouse had been left in its original condition because of its importance in the history and in the tradition of Kansas basketball. Not all agree with Swain that the construction could damage the old-time feel of the fieldhouse. Brad Jurgensmeier, Marion, Ill., sophomore, said that the construction was needed to help the Athletics Department stay competitive with other Big 12 Conference schools and keep up with the latest technology. Its just going to make it that much better, Jurgensmeier said. I think its a great idea. Jim Marchiony, associate athletics director, said the department had shared similar concerns of students like Swain. We have been very, very careful to make sure that the atmosphere at Allen Fieldouse will not change, Marchiony said. The feeling in the arena will be exactly the same.

Flier accuses bookstore

Someones got it in for KU Bookstores. Last week, a sidewalk chalking on campus said that KU Bookstores were unfair to their workers. This week, specific allegations were posted on a flier in Murphy Hall. The allegations ranged from employees not getting a fair- or living-wage to employees being terminated without cause. David Mucci, Memorial Unions director, said the allegations did not represent how the student unions and the book-

stores treat their employees. I think that this is someone who is misinformed, Mucci said. Theyre intentionally twisting facts for their own benefit. Rena Taylor worked at the Kansas Union bookstore temporarily as a cashier during the rush at the beginning of the

semester. She said that she has had no problems with the bookstores and heard no complaints from other workers. Seems like they try to be fair across the board, Taylor said. One of the eleven allegations stated that the director of Memorial Unions terminated an entire department without any evidence that the employees in that department did anything wrong. Mucci said he thought that incident might involve the firing of employees of the shipping and receiving department two years ago.

Change in policy makes doctors notes elusive

By Travis rOBineTT

doctor notes
Class notes will be given when the following conditions are met: F Patients have received care/ treatment by Student Health Services or have documentation of treatment provided by another health care provider. F Patients miss three or more consecutive days because of extended illness or injury. F Patients who are not eligible for a class note but would like documentation of visits at Student Health Services may obtain a copy of their medical records by completing an AUTHORIZATION FOR USE/DISCLOSURE form. This request could take up to 10 days to process.

HAWK Link helps ease sophomore slump

By Malinda OsBOrne

Student Health Services changed its policy on notes excusing illness or injury. The new policy took effect at the beginning of this semester. According to a flier sent out last spring by Student Health Services, students would receive only notes verifying their infirmity if two conditions were met. First, the patient must have received treatment by Student Health Services or provide documentation of treatment by another health care provider. Second, the patient must have been absent for three or more consecutive days. Patricia Denning, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that in the past, a large number of appointments had been made by students who wanted only a class note for an illness the Health Center never treated them for. They may well have been sick, but I didnt see them, which made it hard to validate, she said. Denning said the change was made to lower the amount of appointments so students who needed actual medical attention would receive care in a timely manner. Denning said the University of Kansas was the only school in the Big 12 with an illness or injury note policy, but the part of the policy requiring three or more consecutive absences followed federal guidelines. According to the flier, students who were treated at Watkins, but were absent fewer than three days could complete an authorization for use/disclosure form. The form allows students to receive a copy of their medical record proving they received treatment. Processing the request could take up to 10 days. Students throughout campus had mixed reactions to the change. I hate it, Cody McCullough, Wichita junior, said. I think its unfair because if you are sick, it can be for less than three days and still be legitimate.

Cassie Fernandez, Olathe sophomore, said she thought the change was a good idea. I guess it will make it harder for students to skip, she said. Bradley Carter, professor of humanities and western civilization, said the new policy would not make a difference in his classes, because he allowed his students only three absences, no matter the cause. Ive tried to avoid adjudication whether an absence is excused or not, he said. Overall, I think its a good policy change for those teaching staff who do excuse absences. Allan Hanson, professor of Anthropology, said that if a student could not produce a note because they were absent fewer than three days, he would work it out on a case-by-case basis. I think that when a student visits the health center, they should be excused, he said. Edited by Theresa Montano

Kansas City teen charged with mothers murder

Zhang called her husband after the attack and asked him to come home, but she was dead by the time emergency workers arrived. Tseng, meanwhile, was taken to a hospital where she was treated for a wound to her hand. The teenager was ordered to remain in detention until her next court appearance, Sept. 13

Like many incoming freshmen, Antwan Winkfield worried about making the transition from high school to a large university. During Hawk Week, volunteers recruited Winkfield to join HAWK Link, a free, academic-based retention program aimed at freshmen students of color. He then got the help he needed, but his optimism soon turned to fear once the school year was finished. After freshmen year, I thought to myself, What am I gonna do next year?, Winkfield, Kansas City, Mo., junior, said. Winkfield is just one student who found himself faced with the same problem: they received help freshmen year but didnt know where to go for help sophomore year. To fill the void, the Office of Multicultural Affairs created Transitions, a similar program geared toward sophomores. According to Juan Izaguirre, assistant director of Office of Multicultural Affairs, this year will be the first time Transitions is offered and will serve as the pilot program for future classes. According to the HAWK Link Web site, the program works with several on-campus offices and departments to facilitate students knowledge of services offered by the University. Throughout their freshman year, students can also go to monthly Academic Success Workshops that deal with topics such as advising, financial aid, living and learning communities and student involvement. Alicia Lopez, St. Louis junior, said she could sense a perceptible difference between those in the HAWK Link program and those who werent. The friends I had who didnt do HAWK Link didnt know about a lot of helpful things like the student educational office or how to fill out a FAFSA form. I think everyone in the program definitely felt more prepared for sophomore year too, Lopez said. Another component of HAWK Link is the stEp Program, which is designed to motivate students in adjusting and succeeding at the University. The HAWK Link Web site said participants met weekly with their mentors to have their homework reviewed, papers proofread and questions answered about life at the University. My mentor was really good. Shed get on me about making my goals each week and I would even be scared to meet with her when I hadnt met my goals but I needed

Freshmen members of the 2005 - 2006 HAWK Link program attend HAWK Links Block Party last week. The party was one of the programs events during Hawk Week to recruit new members. that discipline, Winkfield said. The HAWK Link advisery board first met in 1999 as a reaction to the low retention rates of minority students from freshmen year to sophomore year. The board began to address different issues in increasing the retention rate and finding a way to keep students at the University. The HAWK Link program is a group of people within the OMA and led by its director, Robert N. Page, Jr. Thirty-six students were enrolled in the program that year and had a 78 percent retention rate, Izaguirre said. The percentage was higher than the overall rate of students of color. Izaguirre said HAWK Link advisers began considering expansion of the program to include sophomores when more freshmen began asking what to do for their next year. The advisers came up with Transitions, which will follow the same format as the HAWK Link freshmen program. The program focuses on the needs of sophomores, emphasizing heavily on academic resources, choosing a major, applying to their school or program, searching for internships, and working with the other departments to attain those resources. About 30 students are currently enrolled in the new program. Before Transitions was offered, students who graduated from the program would stay involved by recruiting new students, serving as mentors to those freshmen in the program and sitting on panels where they provided personal feedback to their success from HAWK Link.

Once students graduate from the program, they become vested in its mission and often come back to help, Garcia said. The retention rate increased from 78 percent in its first year to the current 87 percent. The retention rate has increased steadily throughout the years and has maintained a percentage between 84 and 88 percent. We can truly say that the program works, Izaguirre said. Despite the success of the HAWK Link program, Aida Garcia, a graduate student assistant for the OMA, said its obvious that a follow-up program would be beneficial. Garcia said she noticed more freshmen coming to the office not knowing what to do once they graduated from the program. Its easy to get lost in the shuffle because sophomore year is a transitional one. Lots of people change their majors or still need some guidance, Garcia said. EditedbyErickR.Schmidt

Although Islamic tradition discourages talking about the deceased, friends of doctoral student Abdulrahman Alhomoud spoke highly of the Saudi native. Alhomoud, a KU doctoral student in linguistics, died on Wednesday of natural causes in his apartment, the coroners office said. He was 37 years old. Alhomoud was beginning the third year of his doctoral studies. He is survived by his wife and five children. Sara Rosen, chairwoman of the department of linguistics, said the loss came as a shock. She said his kind personality would be missed. He was a very hard worker and very close with the graduate students, Rosen said. Alhomoud also was an active member of the Islamic Center of Lawrence and had developed

many friendships there. Moussa Elbayoumy, a friend of Alhomoud and facilities manager of the Islamic Society of Lawrence, said Alhomoud had been a shy, wonderful person. He was quiet, but an outgoing man. He was well-liked by people around him, he said. Elbayoumy said Alhomouds remains would be returned to Saudi Arabia and buried after a simple funeral. Messages of condolence can be sent to the Islamic Center of Lawrence, 1917 Naismith Drive. According to Islamic beliefs, writing obituaries is against tradition; Alhomouds friends and family were reluctant to speak of his life. It doesnt do the deceased any good to talk about how good they are, Elbayoumy said. It doesnt promote the healing of the bereaved and help them accept death as a fact. In our belief, only the deeds in their lives count in their favor.

Crop art for a quarter

By CarL Manning
the associated Press

TOPEKA - Artist Stan Herd figures hell be busy this week getting his latest crop-art project in shape for its viewing a 200foot replica of the quarter commemorating Kansas, with a giant buffalo, carved in an alfalfa field near Hutchinson. Herd said Monday hes about halfway through the project under way in a 1-acre field not far from the Kansas State Fairgrounds, where the quarter will make its state debut on Sept. 9. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius plans to lead the celebration for the official launch of the coin. Im working in the field now, Herd said, Ive got a hard week ahead of me. Ill have a dozen people working with me on this, and were creating it mainly with a Weed Eater, shovels, hand gar-

dening tools and a Roto-Tiller. No tractor this time. Herd plans to have his project completed Saturday, and employees of the sponsoring organizations can be photographed standing on the border of the artwork. A poster-sized aerial photograph of the project will be on sale at the fair. For nearly 25 years, the Lawrence artist has been known for turning fields into portraits, still lifes and commercial advertisements to be viewed from the air, using natural elements such as crops, rocks and flowers. He said his $7,000 fee about one-third what he normally charges for such a project is financed mainly by SBC of Kansas, the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas, the Topeka Community Foundation and the Kansas Museum of History Foundation.

The new Women of Distinction poster-calendar is out and ready to be tacked on walls. The free poster includes pictures and brief biographies of 19 high-achieving female students, alumni, faculty and staff, as well as a calendar of the academic year. Two years ago, Emily Taylor Womens Resource Center director Katherine Rose-Mockry led the effort to produce the poster-calendar, partly in response to the Women of KU calendar, which features KU women in revealing outfits. I think often-times people are not aware of the important contributions women make to the campus and to the community at large, Rose-Mockry said. Marge Heard Franklin, co-

She said she was proud to appear as a role model to younger women. Franklin graduated in 1959 as the first woman to earn a degree in aeronautical engineering from the University. From my perspective, there still arent enough women in engineering, she said.

There was theft in that department and the bookstores eliminated the employees. The employees were given two weeks notice with pay and the department was totally restructured, Mucci said.

One womans protest reignites war discussion

Fashionable News Media Awards

Cindy Sheehan, once humble grieving mother, has now turned into a talking head for the antiwar and anti-Bush movement. Every day, as her entourage grows, the authenticity that won her prominence in the first place has diminished, but the national debate about the War is heating back up because of her actions. Cindy is the mother of an American soldier killed in Iraq. She has been camping out in front of President Bushs ranch in Crawford, Texas, in symbolic protest, demanding to meet with the President to ask him one simple question: What is the noble cause behind the Iraq war? She departed the ranch Thursday, when her mother had a stroke. Her actions have re-ignited anti-war and anti-Bush sentiment during a time when the movement has been waning, lacking the galvanizing symbol to inspire action. Now, Cindy has become that symbol, but at a cost. Her one woman protest has turned into a circus of interest groups controlling her message, which in turn is destroying the legitimacy of her personal mission. Groups such as MoveOn.org, which works to bring real Americans back into the political process, its public relations firm Fenton Communications and Democracy for America have all stepped in and taken over. Cindy is no longer the lone-

of one woman, standing alone in front of the Presidents ranch on a country, dirt road have inspired thousands to act.

The demands

some, grieving mother the media portrays her as, but rather a talking head for the people giving her support. The message machine Fenton Communications came up with a simple, catchy analogy for Cindy as stated by Tom Matzzie, MoveOn.orgs Washington director, Cindy is the Rosa Parks of the peace movement in 2005. Cindy, Rosa Parks, Paul Revere theyre people who try to start something. Comparing Cindy Sheehan to Rosa Parks is a vast stretch. Rosa Parks problems resulted in her arrest and trial, a 381-day Montgomery bus boycott, and, finally, the Supreme Courts ruling in November 1956 that segregation on transportation is unconstitutional. Cindys actions will not result in any precedent-setting Supreme Court cases. What Cindy has started, although highly influenced by outside groups, is something that has the potential to focus the apathetic American publics eye onto the substantial problems in front of us. Grieving mothers who have lost their children and loved ones in war hold an important place in history, with momentous achievements in Latin America and abroad. Every movement has a single moment when it torques up, and Cindys effort may have broken the camels back here in the United States. The demands of one despairing, enraged woman, standing alone in front of the Presidents ranch on a country, dirt road have inspired thousands to act. According to MoveOn.org, last Wednesday, tens of thousands of supporters gathered at 1,627 vigils to acknowledge the sacrifices made by Cindy Shee-

woman protest has turned into a circus of interest groups controlling her message, which in turn is destroying the legitimacy of her personal message.
hans son, Casey, and more than 1,800 brave American men and women who have given their lives in Iraq and their moms and families. Cindy will never be an idol, looked up to by middle school children in history class, but her persona, twisted by the deconstructive nature of the media, will be carried on through political experts to promote their pre-fabricated message. We are no longer being shown the heart of a mother grieving the loss of a child; instead, we are being sold the idea of that mother, which is marketable by the interest groups who are spending days developing the perfect sound bite and visual for Fox or CNN.

Watch my gossip program afterward for the best- and worst-dressed highlights! Announcer: (The sounding of horns) Demoralizing Television is proud to present, the 2005 Fashionable News-Media Awards, with your host, the classy Anna Nicole Smith. (Music and applause) Anna Nicole: There are lots of current events. They happen all the time; even currently. Yet only a few of them are sufficiently fashionable and entertaining enough for us to watch; and watch, (bends lower on podium to display cleavage), and watch on the news. (Focuses on cue card and reads slowly) The first award is Medias Most Influential

Love Life. Without these stars, we wouldnt know who they were dating and the news would suck. And the nominees are: Brad Pitt, for being a delicious divorcee; Katie Holmes, for energizing Tom Cruise and the Scientology craze; and, finally, Paris Hilton, for being rich and having a fianc also named Paris. (Drum roll) Anna Nicole: And the award goes to Paris Hilton! (applause) Paris: Thats hot. (Takes out paper and reads) I am flattered that the American public follows worthwhile news and is so informed on my issues. My self-indulging posh lifestyle must be an inspiration to their mundane existences. Thank you to my fans and the media for their lavish attention and to God for making me important! Anna Nicole: Its now time to close with a video tribute to those involved in the most vital news of 2005. (Sentimental music plays. Pictures of Amber Frey, Terry Schiavo, Jennifer Wilbanks, Natalee Holloway and Michael Jackson fade on and off the screen.) Anna Nicole Smith: That is our show. Kudos to all the winners who dominate our news (grabs left breast) and touch our hearts. F Stacy is a Germantown, Md., senior in political science, Spanish and international studies.

High-tech library loses its charm

suitable only for technocrats, not for scholars, and the administration could do better than this soulless lobby.
Beverly Boyd
Professor of English ter, displaying the word, Information. Rows of apparently brand-new computers replaced submissions

I am just back from a research mission that took me to several European libraries, one of many such trips in my career across several continents because I am a career literary scholar and a past Guggenheim Fellow. It was nice to come home, however, and enjoy our beautiful campus, as well as the neoGothic architecture of Watson Library, centrally located to be our showcase. That library was the specific reason I came to the University. Once inside this neo-Gothic building, I wondered if I had blundered into the wrong place. The reference desk, vital to scholars, was gone. A sign hung over the former check-out coun Talk To us

This place is

what libraries are supposed to be for: books. The reference volumes had been shoved far to the back, with only the wooden ends of their cases showing. Now that the books are behind the scenes, what we have is a replica of a post office or an Internal Revenue Service building. I wonder how much all these computers cost, considering that most faculty offices and students already have them. This place is suitable only for technocrats, not for scholars, and the administration could do better than this soulless lobby. Beverly M. Boyd Professor of English

Tell your sex columnist that Bob Dole did Viagra commercials, so he probably wouldnt be upset for a little penis talk. (Editors Note: That was the opinion editors doing, not Jamie Epsteins, and he apologizes to the readers and Epstein for the distracting comments.) For her first topic, Sara Garlick has decided to miss the forest for the trees. Claiming that all the mascots are all indicative of people who are hostile or abusive is to truly miss the point.

Why are kegs the most popular people on campus?

So I just saw three Milspec cops bust up a party at Jeff-Co, and everyone who left the party had a keg cup in their hands. Glad to see that our authorities are saying, Stop drinking here and take it to the roads so you can endanger the rest of Lawrence. Just a thought.

F
So, I'm running a little bit late today for class today, and I'm kind of hungry. So I go down to the Wescoe Underground and notice tons of lines for everything, and I think to myself, "Wow, this would be a great time for the hotdog cart to be on Wescoe Beach. That's right; let the campaign for the hotdog cart resume.

He wants to be one of the stars on the defense, Appel said. I think he has tremendous work ethic. The Aggies open the season with a tough road test at Clemson and open their conference season in a rematch with Baylor. The Aggies will finish their season with a road game at Oklahoma followed by a home game against Texas. Edited by Ty Beaver Missouri will be consistently inconsistent. Nebraska is the one that should scare people. Under coach Bill Callahan, recruits are beginning to stream in, and signs point to Husker football being back in a new way. If Kansas wants to throw its hat in the ring and have a say in the future, it starts here. What happens this year could shape the future and help to change the perception that has loomed over the North side of the hill for too long. F Chavez is a San Antonio, Texas, senior in journalism.

vote him that accolade. McNeal isnt the only star on the offensive side of the ball this season. The Aggies welcome back leading rusher Courtney Lewis. Two seasons ago, Lewis was named a freshman All-American and ran for more than 1,000 yards. Last season, he was hampered by injury and rushed for only 742 yards. This season, Lewis is healthy and A&M coaches expect big

things from him. Franchione said keeping Lewis healthy would be key for the team. The Aggies are also excited about the addition of Martellus Bennett, freshman tight end. Bennett was ranked as the top recruit in the Big 12 by several recruiting Web sites and will most likely play instead of taking a redshirt. On defense, the Aggies are led by senior safety Jaxson Appel. Appel was named to the Big 12 Media Preseason Football team and will captain the defense this year. Franchione said Appel was on the field. Brorsen came to Kansas as a defensive end, but was moved to offense early in preseason practice. The position is new to me, Brorsen said. I played a little tight end in high school but I played mostly on defense. I really dont know what to expect but the guys on the offense are helping me a lot. Another freshman could have an impact at tight end as well. Josh Bell looked good in practices, but Mangino considered giving Bell a redshirt if he doesnt feel he is ready for the season.

As for the tight end position, sophomore Derek Fine figures to be the starter. Fine caught only two catches for 16 yards last season, but Mangino was pleased with his work during the offseason. Russell Brorsen, freshman tight end, is the leading candidate to be the backup to Fine, and could see significant time

far it looks as if this team is using that philosophy as a battle cry. How many people ever thought Kansas State would win anything in football? Too young to remember? Well, then ask your parents when you talk to them later. After all, when Bill Snyder retires, K-State could return to its once lowly depths. Colorado will always be a player nationally every so often. Iowa State, despite recent success, will always be fighting Nebraska and Iowa for recruits. So it will be really good every four years and then have to reload.

PITTSBURGH - Mark Mulder beat the Pirates for the fifth time in as many career starts against them, limiting Pittsburgh to three hits in eight innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals started a 13-game road trip successfully by winning 31 Monday night. Abraham Nunez, a former Pirates infielder who was released by one of the majors worst teams after last season only to hook on with one of its best, went 3-for-4 to raise his average to .311 for the Cardinals. The utility infielder drove in a run

and figured in both of their scoring innings. A bad matchup on paper for the Pirates Mulder vs. Josh Fogg turned out to be exactly that as Mulder beat them for the third time in as many starts this season. Fogg (6-9) gave up three runs and 11 hits in five innings and is 1-8 with an 8.47 ERA in 10 career starts against the Cardinals, who improved their major league-best road record to 38-22. Jason Isringhausen pitched the ninth for his 33rd save in 36 opportunities as Mulder, denied his second consecutive complete game, was lifted after throwing 94 pitches.

10a said. It was partly the umpires fault because it was evident the guy was throwing at him. Andy Van Slyke, who was known for his competitiveness and hard-nosed play during his professional career, had an idea of what his son should have done instead of charging the mound and ultimately injuring his shoulder. AJ should have just gone to first, stole second, stole third, scored and then flipped the guy off at home plate, Andy Van Slyke said. You play the game to beat the other guy, not to beat him up. A team trainer popped the

shoulder back into place in the locker room during the conclusion of the game, which New Jersey won 13-6. Four players were ejected from the game, including Van Slyke, Martinez and Poppert. Martinez was suspended for nine games and Van Slyke was suspended a minimum of three games, an amount to be announced by the leagues president. He also was fined an undisclosed amount. The next day, Van Slyke returned to St. Louis to have his shoulder examined by the head doctor for New Jerseys parent club, the St. Louis Cardinals. Dr. George Paletta found a 60 percent tear of his labrum and performed surgery to repair the injury.

With his arm in a sling, Van Slyke will miss the rest of the season. They said I will be in a sling for about four more weeks, at which time my shoulder will be structurally fine, Van Slyke said. I will then start rehab, and should be fully recovered in about two and a half months, well before the start of spring training. The injury couldnt have come at a worse time for Van Slyke, who was riding a hot streak at the plate. He hit .380 with two homers and 14 RBI in 13 games for Rookie League affiliate Johnson City, before his promotion to New Jersey. His hot hitting continued there, where he was hitting .343 with 12

hits and two homers in just nine games before the injury. Van Slyke should begin next season at New Jersey, but his hot hitting could have earned him another promotion. They saw what I can do, Van Slyke said. They know I can hit. The injury set me back a little bit, but I will have to just go to spring training and play the best I can play and just see what happens. Though Van Slykes team for next season is still uncertain, one thing is for sure. The next time hes hit by a pitch, hell think twice before charging the mound. Edited by Theresa Montano

Jayhawk seeks to shine bright

Woodland confident despite play in first round of amateur championship
By Jonathon anderson

Kansan sportswriter

ESPN.com senior college basketball writer Andy Katz ranked Kansas 26th in his initial preseason mens college basketball rankings. Katz wrote that he had substantially lower expectations for the Jayhawks this year because of the teams lack of experience. Kansas lost four players to graduation, and J.R. Giddens left Kansas for New Mexico. Though he expected Kansas to struggle at the beginning of the year, Katz wrote that the team would be much better in March. Katz wrote that freshmen Julian Wright and Micah Downs would start as forwards, while freshman Mario Chalmers would start at guard. Katz wrote that reserves C.J. Giles, Russell Robinson, Sasha Kaun, Christian Moody, Darnell Jackson and Jeff Hawkins would give the Jayhawks a solid core of returning players, but the freshmen would have to make an immediate impact for Kansas to succeed.

Players tend to choke when facing the adversities of a bigger stage, but KU golfer Gary Woodland, Topeka junior, proved himself with an opening round 70, or even par, at the 105th U.S. Amateur Championship yesterday at the Philadelphia Country Club. The momentum of a stellar summer of golf carried Woodland into yesterdays round, where 312 golfers tried to advance to the tournaments match play competition. After two rounds of stroke play, the top 64 players from that competition will

advance. Woodland teed off at 9:05 a.m. and finished his first stroke play round about 2 p.m. Woodland played the front nine with a one under par 34, including an eagle on the par four ninth hole. Woodland went on to bogey holes seven and 17 to drop him to even par for the day. But even par placed him in the top 50 when the day ended. I didnt hit the ball well on the first nine, he said. Not to mention I missed some putts that were definitely makeable, but I hit the ball better on the front. I had a bunch of pars to start, but that eagle was huge.

Woodland said he was still confident he would bounce back and perform better than he had, though he felt he could have finished better. I felt good enough that if I didnt play well, I could come around and find a way to stay in contention and wait for a good break to happen, Woodland said. Finally, I had a good break on the last hole and I hope that carries over. If Im not playing well, then I have to hold on to stay among the field. Although he had Saturday and Sunday to experience the course, Woodland said his opening round conditions were a bit different than what he had experienced while play-

ing over the weekend. I played at 7 a.m. on Sunday and the greens were a lot slower, Woodland said. Teeing off earlier allowed me to get used to slower greens, whereas today I came around the turn and had to adjust my game to fit the harder course conditions. Not to mention the wind blew a little bit harder today. With one round under his belt and a strong understanding of how the course plays, Woodland looks to continue and advance in the tournament. Woodland will tee off today at 2:20. Edited by Theresa Montano

Young and at the top of the game

DENVER - Colorado Rockies outfielder Larry Bigbie was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a strained Achilles tendon. The move is retroactive to Sunday, when Bigbie was held out of the lineup in the Rockies 9-7 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Outfielder Choo Freeman was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs to take Bigbies spot on the roster. Bigbie has started 15 games for Colorado since being acquired from the Baltimore Orioles on July 29. Freeman had two stints with the Rockies last season, hitting .189 in 45 games. He was hitting .280 in 97 games with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.

We have some young kids. Were going to go through some growing pains, Mangino said. They might drop a couple balls here and there or miss a block but when its all said and done I think thats going to be a really good group for us. Besides Simmons, the other main target is expected to be junior college transfer Brian Murph. Murph impressed coaches and teammates during the spring game, with seven catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. Hes also had an impressive preseason camp so far. Beyond Simmons and Murph, Mangino said he was hoping that either sophomore Marcus Henry or freshman Marcus Herford, who took a redshirt last season, would emerge as a legitimate threat for the Jayhawks. Herford is playing his first season at wide receiver after working as Kansas scout team quarterback last year. Herford was recruited as a quarterback, but Mangino said he was pleased with his work and progress so far. Hes working on his ball skills everyday, Mangino said. Hes a good, hardworking young man. Were hoping that hell be ready to make a major contribution. Hes certainly on that path. Another player that could have a big impact on the wide receiver unit is Charles Gordon, junior cornerback. Gordon will spend most of his time at the cornerback position but did catch 15 passes last season for 150 yards as wide receiver, and will see some time at the position this season.

Buzz surrounds youthful receivers

Mangino: Season could be time of growing pains
By Daniel Berk

The word buzzing around this years wide receiver unit is potential. The unit returns only one player who had an impact on last years team, but has a number of players who could have big years for the Jayhawks. Senior Mark Simmons is the only returning starter at the position. He collected 553 yards last season and grabbed three touchdowns. Simmons leads a young and inexperienced group. Kansas coach Mark Mangino said he knew there would be speed bumps along the way, but said he was excited about the players at the position.

The time is now, Hawks

Football season is fast approaching and around these parts, things are fixing to get interesting. For many years, Kansas football program has been outshined by its schools storied hoops tradition. Its a stigma that the 2005 Jayhawks, a team with some of the best senior leadership in school history, wants to change. This year, more than any other, could be the one that determines the future order of things in the Big 12 North. The reasoning is simple. Currently, its no secret that the North division is in a slump. At the time of the conferences inception, this was the case in the South division. Although, there were some good teams at that time. Texas and Texas A&M captured two of the Big 12s first three conference championships. But every year, it was Nebraska, Kansas State and later Colorado that garnered top billing in the media. Nebraska was always in contention for the National Championship. Even once lowly Kansas State flirted with a national title in 1998, before committing a Missouri-esqe choke job in the Big 12 Championship against Texas A&M. Since 2000, the balance of power has shifted and now its the South that attracts the national attention, especially every October when Texas and Oklahoma clash in Dallas Cotton Bowl. The North has seen a stretch of seasons where there was no clear favorite. Thats where Kansas enters the picture. Mark Manginos tenure has brought significant improvement and a buzz that created a cult following. Students who once ignored football and counted down the days to Late Night, a fact that disturbs this Texan boy, are salivating as they count down to the football season opener in 11 days. Fans have reason to believe that the program is close to turning the corner. Some even talk about a North division championship. The past couple years that kind of prediction was only a reality in your copy of EA Sports NCAA Football. Last years 4-7 record quieted that thinking some, but the belief is still there. Yet, you get the feeling that this team is gathering a chip on its shoulder, because as usual, all the so-called experts have determined that Kansas football will remain in the conference cellar. Mangino has to love it. He already said the team looked near perfect during training camp. This is almost unheard of coming from a coach who has always been conservative when evaluating his team. That alone should be reason to get excited. The status of the North is another. This year, its still anyones title for the taking. An argument could be made for every team. For the Jayhawks, this has to be the year, because if not, it could be a struggle in the future. If successful, this team could establish Kansas football as a player in coming years. Of course many of you will say that all of this is a nice dream and will ask the question Why? For a change, though, everyone should ask Why not? So

Mark Simmons, senior wide receiver, looks downfield after catching a pass during a game last season. Simmons will lead this years group of wide receivers, which is deep but also young. If we dont have some of the young kids ready to play at the receiver position, its hard to ignore Charles as a playmaker on offense, Mangino said. Even if Gordon does see significant time at wide receiver, Simmons knows that it is his job to be a leader for the young players. Most of our players dont

Ex-Jayhawk home with clipped wing

Former left fielder A.J. Van Slyke falls to try and catch a fly ball during the series finale against Texas last season. Van Slyke recently suffered a season ending injury after charging the mound during a minor league game as a member of the New Jersey Cardinals.

Former KU baseball player AJ Van Slyke arrived home in St. Louis to begin his first offseason as a professional baseball player about a month earlier than planned. And he didnt have a good reason. The former left fielder for the Jayhawks and 23rd-round selection of the St. Louis Cardinals ended his rookie season early when he tore his labrum, a ring of fibrous tissue in the shoulder, in a bench-clearing brawl last month. The incident occurred on Sunday, July 24, while Van Slyke was playing for the New Jersey Cardinals. In the first inning, he belted a two-run homer against the Vermont Expos. When Van Slyke came to the plate in the third inning, Expos pitcher Carlos Martinez threw the first pitch high and tight to Van Slyke, just missing his face. When the second pitch just missed the back of Van Slykes head, he said he became irritated. I knew he was trying to hit me, Van Slyke said. I asked the umpire to do something about it, but he did nothing. Our coach came out and asked him to issue a warning, but he didnt. The umpire did absolutely nothing about it. After trying to hit him with the first two pitches, Van Slyke figured he was done. He expected Martinez to groove a fastball with his third pitch. I was leading off the inning, and the count was 2-0, so I was pretty sure he was going to throw a strike, Van Slyke said. I didnt think he wanted

to walk me, so I was expecting one out over the plate. Martinez, however, drilled his third pitch into the right bicep of Van Slyke, which, he said, caused him to snap. Van Slyke threw his bat down and charged the mound, inciting a benchclearing brawl between the two teams. As Van Slyke charged Martinez, Expos catcher John Poppert took off his mask and threw it at Van Slyke, hitting him in the back. That didnt stop Van Slyke, though, and he soon started pounding Martinez on the mound. When Poppert reached the mound and jumped on Van Slykes back, the three fell to the ground, dislocating Van Slykes shoulder. It was dislocated, but I didnt know it, Van Slyke said. My adrenaline was pumping, and I knew it hurt, but I had no idea it was hurt that bad. Unaware of his injury, and at the bottom of a huge pile, Van Slyke continued to punch. He was stepped on and kicked by many members of the Expos bullpen, who were first to arrive at the mound. Van Slyke was pulled from the pile by an Expos coach. As he walked back to the dugout, he realized what had happened to his shoulder. Van Slykes father, Andy Van Slyke, who was elected to three all-star games and won five gold gloves during his 13-year professional career, said he was disappointed by his sons decision to charge the mound. I was disappointed because I dont think that was the right thing to do, the elder Van Slyke

Aggies look to forget last seasons shortcomings

By Daniel Berk

Editors Note: This is the fourth of 11 articles previewing Kansas competition in the Big 12 Conference. The articles will run every day from now until Sept. 1. Tomorrow the Kansan will look at Oklahoma. At the midpoint of last years season, the Texas A&M Aggies were feeling pretty good. The team compiled a 6-1 record and

had Baylor on the schedule for its next game. A funny thing happened after that. The Aggies dropped a 35-34 overtime thriller to last place Baylor and then McNeal went on to lose three of their last four games, including a 38-7 loss to Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl. Aggies coach Dennis Franchione said he knew how tough

the Big 12 conference was, and also knew that no game was a guaranteed victory. He tried to stress that fact to his team after the Baylor loss. You cant bask in a win too long and dwell on a loss too long, Franchione said. If you feel sorry for yourself too long or feel too good about yourself too long, somebody is going to plant

a hickey on you pretty solid and you cant let that happen. This season, the Aggies return 14 starters, and are a dark horse pick to win the Big 12 South division. Fans in College Station, Texas are excited about senior quarterback Reggie McNeal. Last year, McNeal set a single-season school record with 2,791 passing yards and rushing yards by a quarterback with 718 yards. He also finished seventh nationally in total offense. The scary thing for teams in

the Big 12 is Franchione said he felt McNeal was the most improved player on the team from last years squad. Coaches voted McNeal the most improved after the spring game and offseason workouts. He is a better leader than I have ever seen him, Franchione said. He has depth and understanding of the offense that is as good as it has ever been. Its the total quarterback in all areas that I think led our coaches to
