Police arrested a local man early Tuesday morning in connection with the fire that destroyed Boardwalk Apartments last week. Jason Allen Rose, 20, is being held at the Douglas County jail on suspicion of three counts of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated arson, according to records from the Douglas County Sheriffs office. Police arrested him in Lawrence after 2 a.m. Investigators will announce whether charges will be filed no earlier than this afternoon, District Attorney Charles Branson said in a press conference Tuesday. Lt. Kari Wempe, spokes-

woman for the Douglas County Sheriffs Department, said Rose was a Lawrence resident. He was never enrolled at the University of Kansas, KU of- Rose ficials said. The fire occurred early Friday morning and destroyed the $2.1 million apartment building in the 500 block of Fireside Drive. Thirty-two of the apartments 87 residents were KU students. Three people died and at least 18 were injured in the blaze.

Editors note: Kansan reporter Steve Lynn wanted to let those who knew Nicole Bingham best tell her story. He compiled this story with quotes and facts from her friends. Nicole Bingham died in a fire at the Boardwalk Apartments Friday morning. She would be 22 today. She was a Wichita senior at the University of Kansas.

She had blue eyes. She had a half-brother and a mother, Nancy Bingham. Her parents divorced when she was young. A friend: Shed gone through too much to die like this. Doctors discovered a hole in her heart when she was 15. She was diagnosed with two heart conditions: special arrhythmia, a condition when the heart beats erratically, and syncope, a condition where the brain doesnt signal the heart to restart.

The United States 2000 Olympic softball team wanted to clear up any confusion about the motivational technique that had recently sparked debate at the University. Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge said in a University report that she told her players to shower in their uniforms following a loss to Texas A&M April 2. Bunge said she had heard of the technique being used by the Olympic team. Leah OBrien-Amico played first base and outfield on the Olympic gold medal teams in 2000 and 2004. She wanted to clear up the comparison made between the two shower motivational incidents. The 2000 team shower had absolutely nothing to do with the coaches, OBrien-Amico said. She said the Olympic team members voluntarily showered in their uniforms at the Sydney Olympic Village following three consecutive losses. The shower was a light-hearted attempt to wash away the losing streak, she said. OBrien-Amico said no players on the Olympic team were told to strip Todays weather

down. She said the team members who participated were in full uniform throughout the motivational event. According to a complaint filed by former Kansas softball player Jackie Vasquez, Bunge said she heard of this technique being used with an Olympic team when they had a losing streak. In the complaint, Vasquez said she and her teammates were told by Bunge to shower with their uniforms on as a way to wash away the bad play. Bunge then asked the players to strip down to their bras and panties, while she lectured them about their performance in the game. Weeks after the incident, Vasquez filed a sexual harassment claim against Bunge and an assistant coach. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the incident had been reviewed by the University and had found that it did not constitute sexual harassment as defined by the University. We consider this matter closed, Marchiony said. Bunge declined to comment because of a pending legal case. Edited by Alison Peterson

Editors note: 75-year-old Tibetan monk Palden Gyatsosa, speaking through his translator, sat down with staff writer Travis Robinett for an exclusive interview. The interview took place at the home of Ling-Lung Chen, assistant anthropology professor. Tibetan monk Palden Gyatso turned the philosophies and disciplines of Buddhism into survival skills during his 33 years of torture in prisons and labor camps. He relied on refuge, contemplation of karma and other buddhist meditation practices to help him elevate his spirit, give him life and relieve him from the torture he faced in everyday life. Gyatso, 75, said when he was first imprisoned in the early 1960s, starvation was wide-

spread among prisoners. He said about 70 percent of the inmates died because of lack of food. The prisoners endured extreme physical and mental abuse almost every day, Gyatso said. They were interrogated and had their hands and feet tied to ceilings. The guards would use an electrical pole to hit the prisoners, regardless of age or gender. Gyatso said the guards would hit any parts of a body. He said some were hit in their eyes and lost their sight. At one point, the electric pole was used in Gyatsos mouth, and he lost all his teeth.

Dr. Michael Yellow Bird

Director of the center of Indigenous Nations Studies

Dr. Michael Yellow Bird is the director of the Center of Indigenous Nations Studies and an associate professor of American Studies. Could you explain your job? I spend a lot of time trying to fulfill the mission and the vision of the Center. Working with faculty and students, I do a lot of global outreach to indigenous communities, individuals and leaders. I work with local indigenous groups and organizations, national and also international groups, bodies like the United Nations on behalf on indigenous peoples. Trying to connect with these different bodies to collaborate on issues and topics that are very important to indigenous peoples and communities. We talk about everything from trying to work with indigenous people in different parts of the world. What is the most rewarding part of your job? The biggest thing is trying to innovate new ideas, programs and initiatives that would be beneficial to indigenous communities. Providing support to those communities in terms of technical support, whether it be helping them evaluate the needs of their communities or standing in solidarity against external oppressive forces. Providing direct consultation and training indigenous students who come to the Center. Get some of the best and brightest students that we can here and get them to address and confront complex issues and problems their communities faced. Get them ready to create some kind of positive effect in their communities. What is a typical day like for you? I dont know when it ends or begins, because being an indigenous person, there is a particular kind of protocol that we live by. There are constantly a number of things we have to work on. During work, after work and during the weekends, its supporting people and communities in a number of ways. We stay very involved with our communities wherever they may be. Its unending, its not a typical day. We are always confronted with things that are going on throughout the world that affect indigenous people. Why do you think it is important for students to learn about cultures other than their own? I think its very important, because cultures have so many domains that are beneficial to mainstream peoples. Diversity can be a very beautiful thing. Ideas and intelligent technologies come from indigenous people, from different cultures. Things that people eat today, the places they inhabit, the things that they know and the things that people say today, are all because of the innovation and cultures of indigenous people. There arent many people in the United States who have some type of indigenous heritage. There is so much that people have to offer: medicines, ideas, engineering, the arts, everything. Anything you can think of. They infuse the place with diverse ideas, diverse experiences. The world wouldnt survive well with out diversity. Ideas would be come entrenched and meaningless. Diverse people help people shift their paradigms. What is your favorite KU tradition? I like the Columbus Day protests at Wescoe. Thats what indigenous people do, they provide a diverse discourse. They enlighten the campus. Students who havent heard or dont understand the history of indigenous people or the myths of American history. People sit there and they listen, and it starts to provoke thought. Edited by Becca Evanhoe

Facilities Operations has a list of elevators that are in need of repair, and the broken down Strong Hall elevator is just the tip of the iceberg. Others include three in Malott Hall and at least one in Watson Library, said Steve Green, associate director of Facilities Operations. The Strong Hall elevator broke down last Wednesday. It will be out of service for four to six weeks, said Jim Long, vice provost of Facilities Planning and Management. Long said it would cost an estimated $35,000 to fix the elevator. All funds for repairs come from the Facilities Operations budget, he said. Other elevators on campus will be repaired as soon as funds are allocated. Facilities Operations has repaired five elevators since 2000. These five elevators include the out-of-use elevator in Strong Hall. Green said the reason for the breaking elevators was outdated parts. He said four elevators two in Dyche Hall, one in Watson Library and one in Blake Hall still have hy-

draulic systems. In these systems, a water-powered cylinder is installed in the ground and raises the elevator. The problem with these systems is that, over time, water leaks through the cylinders because of excessive rusting, which eventually breaks the elevator, Green said. The elevator will lose its power if too much water leaks through. Safety requirements now enforce replacing the old hydraulic cylinders with sturdier ones that dont rust as easily. Green said vandalism and overuse also have played a part in the elevators breaking. People often overcrowd the elevators and dont follow safety instructions. Weve always got people trying to pry the doors open when theyre riding the elevator, he said. I guess they want to see what goes by when theyre riding it. Green said he thought Facilities Operations was well aware of the condition and safety of the elevators. He also said that even though neither the city of Lawrence nor the state of Kansas require safety inspections, Facilities Operations still goes through an annual safety inspection, as well as a more comprehensive inspection, every

Bush defends, supports justice nominee

By DEB riEchmann
the associated press

WASHINGTON President Bush and his wife, Laura, offered a double-barreled defense of Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers on Tuesday while the White House worked to dampen opposition from the right and win confirmation for the presidents pick. Harriet Miers is going to be confirmed, and people will get to see why I put her on the bench, Bush said in a television interview on NBCs Today show. The Bushes were in Covington, La., at a Habitat for Humanity housing work site just north of New Orleans. In Philadelphia, Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., told The Associated Press that he hoped to begin the confirmation hearing for Miers within a month. Questions for the hearing, which he said he hoped would last no more than

a week, likely will focus on her approach to constitutional issues, he said. Bushs nomination of Miers has fractured his conservative base of supporters. In recent days, some conservatives have expressed outrage that Bush did not choose a nominee with a judicial record. They said it was risky putting Miers on the court because she was a blank slate on issues such as abortion and the death penalty. Some activists have called on Bush to withdraw her nomination. Bush also rebutted worries from his right flank that Miers will be another Justice David Souter, a little-known judge nominated to the court in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush. Souter has disappointed conservatives by drifting, over the years, to the left. She wont change, Bush said. I mean, the person I know is not the kind of person that is going to change her philosophy, and her philosophy is, is that

Shes very
deliberate and thoughtful and will bring dignity to wherever she goes, but certainly to the Supreme Court.
Laura Bush
First lady she is not going to legislate from the bench. Bush said Miers was the most qualified candidate for the job, and Mrs. Bush agreed: Absolutely. Absolutely. Shes very deliberate and thoughtful and will bring dignity to wherever she goes, but certainly to the Supreme Court, Mrs. Bush said. Shell be really excellent.

The public appears more concerned about Miers close ties to Bush and lack of judicial experience than they are about any ideological effect she would have on the court, a Pew Research Center poll found. Most in the poll, 56 percent, said they were not worried about whether Miers, the White House counsel, would make the court too conservative or insufficiently conservative. Almost four in 10 said they viewed Miers less favorably because she had never served as a judge and once served as Bushs personal attorney. Presidential advisers are reaching out to GOP skeptics to reassure them that Miers is a solid conservative. In the calls, the White House is arguing that Miers is an accomplished lawyer and that the presidents nominees for the federal bench prove that he is consistent and committed to conservative judicial philosophy.

Increase ranks high nationally

Lynn Stearns said she didnt know much about the University of Kansas, but she was willing to help pay for her son, Kyle Stearns, Derby senior, to go anywhere. Plus, she said that tuition was really cheap. I wasnt really excited about my son going to a Kansas school, Lynn said, until he started going here. She said she was happy with her sons experience at the University. Then, tuition started going up. Lynn said she and her husband didnt have problems paying, but the increase was a surprise. As it turned out, since Kyle started going to the University in 2002, only five other universities have had higher percentage increases in tuition. According to a USA Today annual survey of 67 top public universities, KUs 55 percent in-state tuition increase since 2002 is the sixth highest in the nation. Still, the Universitys tuition

is lower than most schools surveyed. Similar tuition hikes have taken place at Kansas State University, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Colorado. Each school is in the top 10 of tuition increases. Lindy Eakin, vice provost for administration and finance, said the University ranked high because of the five-year tuition increase plan. After presenting the plan four years ago, Eakin said the increase was something that administration, students and faculty wanted. The money has gone to hire 100 new faculty and to improve technology, while 20 percent of the tuition increase went to financial aid to help students adjust to higher tuition. Eakins said that before the plan, the Universitys tuition ranked 32nd out of 34 American Association of Universities public schools. Now, the Universitys tuition ranks 28th. The University will not be in the top 10 of percentage tuition increases in four years, Eakin said. The low tuition of the two Kansas schools in 2002-2003 explains the high

percentage increase, said Bruce Shubert, associate vice president of administration and finance for Kansas State University. When you start so low, percentage increase is a skewed perspective, Shubert said. He said although tuition increased 48 percent for Kansas State and 55 percent for Kansas, the schools tuitions were still competitive in the Big 12. The money Kansas State has received gave

faculty salary raises, classroom improvements and funded different academic departments. Kansas State, Colorado, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University have lower tuition than Kansas.

Bush heads to Gulf area for reconstruction

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss. President Bush, focusing on progress since Hurricane Katrina slammed the Gulf Coast, hugged wiggling children at their newly reopened school and hammered nails into a home for a storm victim. Still, everywhere he went, there were signs of the rebuildings slow pace. In this hard-hit coastal Mississippi town, Bush celebrated the return to school of 1,100 elementary students. The president told a classroom of kindergartners to be proud of a school system that is vibrant and alive and committed to maintaining its former excellence. With many students friends missing, the reopening was bittersweet. The classes being held at DeLisle El-

ementary School combined students from two schools, which before the storm hit six weeks ago together educated 2,000. Earlier, in the pitch-dark hour before dawn, Bush spent nearly two hours at a bustling Habitat for Humanity construction site in Covington, La. Aiming to support the effort to find housing for those displaced by Katrina, Bush donning a hard hat, work gloves and a giant wraparound leather tool belt briefly joined Habitat volunteer builders, then chatted, signed autographs and posed for pictures. The construction of two homes coming just four days before Bushs deadline for getting the more than 32,000 people still in shelters into sturdier accommodations paled before the larger task at hand.

City commission bans parking on west side of Lawrence Avenue

The no parking on Lawrence Avenue will extend from 150 feet north of Bob Billings Parkway to Applegate court. Applegate at the Orchards neighborhood residents have been campaigning for the ordinance since June, when they presented their case to the Traffic Safety Commission.They were denied their request at that time. Commissioner David Schauner said he thought the neighbors made a good case that banning parking would make the street safer. Mayor Boog Highberger was not present because of an illness in the family. On Oct. 4, he was the only commissioner who expressed concern about enacting the ordinance. He said he thought speeding may increase without the parked cars.

Leandra Galindo, Nate Cleveland and La-Le Miller, Lawrence residents, read poems left at a memorial at the site of the Boardwalk apartments yesterday. Their friend, Yolanda Riddle, died in last Fridays fire. A memorial for Riddle will be held this Friday at the Haskell University Campus.

Her mother couldnt afford the surgery Nicole needed, and insurance wouldnt cover it. So Nicole wrote a letter to Ronald McDonald House, which scheduled a surgery for her at Childrens Mercy Hospital. She always joked about dying. She said if she didnt take her daily pill, she would have a 30 percent chance of dying. She said if she took it, she had an 9 percent chance of dying at any minute. She could accept her mortality. She thought other people should accept theirs. In middle school, she played volleyball and ran track. She was on the debate team when she went to North High School in Wichita. Alpha Delta Pi was her life. She didnt care if she was busy. She would drop everything to be with you. Last year I was really sick, and she took me to the E.R. She held my hand and told me stories. My parents used to call her my guardian angel. The last time I saw her, we went to the used bookstore, and she spent forever in the history section. She did her Alpha Delta Pi philanthropy at Ronald McDonald House. She was the happiest person Ive ever known. She had two kittens, Spanky and Cleo, and three cats that lived with her mother in Wichita. Im a big worrier. She had this way of calming me and making me feel okay again.

Nicoletta Niosi/KANSAN

Her favorite television show was the Gilmore Girls. She liked Sex and the City. One time we took her to the hospital. I started to cry because I was worried about her. She cracked a joke. She brought a Big Bird stuffed animal to the hospital. She got it when she had her heart surgery at Childrens Mercy Hospital. She slept with it every night. She sang me to sleep once. She owned more than 200 movies. When I lived with her, we didnt have curtains so we just put her movies in the window. She said, Im going to live life to the fullest. You may only have today so make everything of it you can. I saw her last week. She saw me on campus and gave me a ride home. She went out of her way to take me home. She majored in history at the

University of Kansas. She liked working with kids, and she wanted to be a history teacher. She always spoke her mind, and if she had a problem with something, she would let you know. Thats something not a lot of us have. She gave great advice. I would talk to her about anything and everything. She said what she felt because she thought it was the right thing to do. She made me want to be a stronger person. She made me want to stand up and say what I believed in. When she found out what my last day at work would be, she asked if I liked fudge, cookies or cake better. I said fudge. She made her grandmothers fudge for me on my last day. She was one of my best friends. I talked to her almost everyday. She was always willing to hang out with me. She put

her friends above all else. She would walk into the room and smile. No matter how bad your day was, you had to smile back. She taught us to appreciate life more. She made a point to make sure everyone knew how much they meant to her. A friend thought what Nicole would want to come out of her death would be for everyone to tell their friends how important they were before they parted.

At least 10 people dead after storms

ALSTEAD, N.H. Where Sally and Tim Canfields home once stood, there is only open land. Their home was washed away by floodwaters, and two days after the rains subsided, their family found no trace of them. Rescue crews and police dogs searched rivers and woods Tuesday for the Canfields and two others missing in New Hampshire after a weekend of heavy downpours that left at least 10 people dead from Maine to Pennsylvania. We didnt find any bodies, said a brother-in-law, Rick Mason, who spent time with crews looking for the Canfields. First there was Katrina, then there was the earthquake, but this is pretty devastating right here. At least one of those missing in New Hampshire, a 67year-old kayaker, was feared dead. Gov. John Lynch said the floods were the worst the state had experienced in a quartercentury, and he sought a federal disaster declaration. Teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency were expected to arrive later this week. In Greenfield, Mass., where floods wrecked 40 trailers in a

He then studied higher education of Buddhist views and philosophies called nangdhun rigpa, which is the highest view of Buddhist philosophy. It cannot be broken down to one philosophy, Gyatso said. It encompasses many views and many discourses of meditation. The more detail, the more danger of misunderstanding, but overall its a complete encompassing wisdom that can relieve you from any kind of difficulties and not make you crazy or extremely depressed. Gyatso came to the United States because he got many invitations after publishing his book, The Autobiography of a Tibetan Monk. He said many people were curious about his approach toward those who tortured him. Gyatso said he had nothing but compassion for them.

1a Gyatso was arrested in 1959 for peacefully protesting the Chinese occupation of Tibet. He said the main reason he protested was because the Dalai Lama had been given an invitation to attend a dinner with Chinese officers. He and other Tibetans thought it was a plan to assassinate or at least capture him. The Chinese officers said the Dalai Lama couldnt come with guards, but only one person who was unarmed. Many Tibetans immediately, but peacefully, protested against China in Lasha, Tibet, the capital. Tibet belongs to Tibetans, Gyatso said. He escaped briefly in 1962. When he was caught, his term was raised by 15 years. Tingkhye, Gyatsos translator, said when he read the monks book it touched him. He said he quickly took the opportunity to translate for Gyatso when he saw that he needed an interpreter. I only have a high school education, but what I do have is an understanding of Tibetan and American culture, Tingkhye said. I thought I could be helpful.

Prosecutors question jailed reporter

WASHINGTON New York Times reporter Judith Miller turned over additional notes and underwent questioning by prosecutors Tuesday in the criminal probe of the Bush administrations leak of a covert CIA officers identity. In a memo to its staff, the newspaper said Miller would appear today before a federal grand jury in the investigation, her second grand jury appearance in recent days. The Times said that it was preparing a story about Millers entanglement with the White House leak investigation and that the story would be completed when the reporter finished her cooperation with prosecutors. Miller testified Sept. 30 before a federal grand jury after getting a waiver from her source and after receiving assurances from prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald that questions would be limited to Millers conversations with Vice President Dick Cheneys chief of staff, I. Lewis Scooter Libby. The reporter had spent 85 days in jail for refusing to cooperate with Fitzgerald. The additional notes deal with a separate conversation she had with Libby. Presidential aide Karl Rove and Libby had conversations with reporters in July 2003 about the identity of Valerie Plame days after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, suggested the Bush administration had misrepresented prewar intelligence on Iraq. Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper has testified about conversations with Libby and Rove regarding Wilsons wife, who was a covert CIA officer. The grand jury looking into the leak expires Oct. 28. Fitzgerald also is calling presidential Rove for additional testimony. It will be Roves fourth appearance.

Violence erupts in Afghanistan

By Daniel Cooney KABUL, Afghanistan About 60 militants ambushed a police convoy as it slowed to cross a river in southern Afghan mountains, sparking a fierce gunbattle that left 19 officers dead in the deadliest blow yet for the fledgling security force, officials said Tuesday. In later violence, two rockets exploded near the U.S. Embassy in the center of the Afghan capital Wednesday, wounding two people hours before Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was due to arrive on an official visit. Rices visit on Wednesday is her second trip to Afghanistan as secretary of state. The attacks underlined the challenges facing Afghanistans U.S.-backed government as it struggles to strengthen a fragile democracy while dealing with a stubborn rebellion by insurgents that has left about 1,400 dead in the past half-year. In the attack late Monday on the police convoy, suspected Taliban rebels hiding behind rocks surrounded the vehicles as they slowed on a dirt road to cross the river in Helmand province, then opened fire with heavy machine-guns and AK-47 assault rifles, Interior Ministry spokesman Yusuf Stanikzai said. Several officers were killed immediately, but 150 police in the convoy and the survivors returned fire, he said. Fighting raged for hours into Tuesday before the militants fled. Among the 19 dead was Helmands deputy police chief, Stanikzai said. Four police officers were wounded and five were missing, said Ghulam Muhiddin, the Helmand provincial administrator. Four police vehicles were destroyed after being riddled with bullets. Security forces rushed 200 extra police officers to the area and were searching houses and mountain caves, but none of the

IAYUGUAN, China Two years after China became the third nation to launch a human into orbit, a pair of astronauts blasted off Wednesday on a longer, riskier mission after receiving a farewell visit from Premier Wen Jiabao. Wen said the glorious and sacred mission would demonstrate Chinas national confidence and ability. A rocket carrying the Shenzhou 6 capsule and the astronauts blasted off Wednesday from the remote base in Chinas northwest. In a break with the space agencys typical secrecy, the launch was shown live on Chinese state television. The mission, reportedly due to last up to five days, is a key prestige project for Chinas communist leaders, who have justified the expense of a manned space program by saying that it will drive economic development. It will be more complicated than the first flight in 2003, which carried one astronaut and lasted just 21 1/2 hours. Minutes after liftoff, mission control announced that the first stage booster had successfully separated from the rocket and that the flight had entered its preset orbit. The official Xinhua News

Agency said the two astronauts, or taikonauts, will take off their 22pound spacesuits to travel back and forth between the two halves of their vessel a re-entry capsule and an orbiter that will stay aloft after they land. Earlier in the day, Xinhua announced the identities of the two taikonauts Fei Junlong, 40, and Nie Haishen, 41. Previous reports said 14 former fighter pilots were training for the mission. Images of Fei and Jun in their cockpit as the craft roared toward orbit were broadcast live to hundreds of millions of Chinese television viewers. None of the 2003 space flight was shown live by Chinese television. Xinhua said the crew was picked from a field of six finalists. Nie was one of three finalists for the 2003 mission, which made a national hero of Yang Liwei. The two taikonauts will conduct experiments in orbit, Xinhua said without elaborating. China insisted ahead of the launch that its aspirations in space were strictly peaceful and that it opposes deploying weapons there. Space officials say they hope to land an unmanned probe on the moon by 2010 and launch a space station.

This was a dev-

astating attack on the police. We are doing our best to track these militants down.
Yusuf Stanikzai Interior Ministry spokesman militants were caught or killed, Muhiddin said. This was a devastating attack on the police, he said. We are doing our best to track these militants down. But he said the rebels were believed to have fled across the nearby Pakistani border. Many insurgents are believed to base themselves on the Pakistani side of the largely unguarded frontier, where they sneak into Afghanistan to launch attacks. Another Interior Ministry official, Dad Mohammed Rasa, said the attack was the deadliest ever on the police, a force that now numbers some 55,000. Violence also continued in other areas. A U.S. soldier was wounded when militants opened fire Tuesday on his vehicle near Kandahar city, a former Taliban stronghold, U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Jerry OHara said. Troops returned fire and the rebels fled. Militants fired two rockets into Kandahar before dawn Tuesday, but they hurt nobody. Three other rockets were found and defused on a nearby hillside, officials said. In neighboring Zabul province, U.S.-led coalition and Afghan forces killed two Chechans and a Pakistani who were fighting alongside Taliban rebels, local government spokesman Ali Khail said. Afghan officials have warned that foreign militants linked to the Taliban and alQaida have entered Afghanistan to fight.

Iraqi constitution sees breakthrough

BAGHDAD, Iraq Iraqi negotiators reached a breakthrough deal on the constitution Tuesday and at least one Sunni Arab party said it would now urge its followers to approve the charter. The two sides agreed that a commission would be set up to consider amendments to the charter that would then be put to a vote in parliament and submitted to a new referen-

dum next year. The agreement would allow the Sunnis to try to amend the constitution to reduce the autonomous powers that Shiites and Kurds would have under the federal system created by the charter, negotiators said. It boosts the chances for a constitution that Shiite and Kurdish leaders support and the United States has been eager to see approved in Saturdays vote to avert more political turmoil.

Media, police: Quit hatin on The Hawk

Throughout the past couple weeks, the Hawk has been given a black eye by the media. While the Hawk might stagger for a little while from this bad publicity, it will get back up and once again be the top venue in Lawrence. The Hawk is being targeted because it is undoubtedly the most popular bar in Lawrence and when you are on top, you attract a lot of attention: from students, other bars and ultimately the police. Some people think that the police presence in the local bars has increased this year, but the truth is that it is mostly the same as in previous years. There is just more publicity this time around. What people need to remember is that this is a college campus and there will be underage drinking. It happens at bars, residence halls, on-and off-campus

JOEL SIMONE
opinion@kansan.com

residences and any other venue a person can think of. It is something that is uncontrollable. You can go to any bar on any given night and I guarantee that you will nd someone there with a fake ID. But, none of these other establishments are getting the ak that the Hawk is. It has been cited 17 times for underage drinking violations in the past two and a half years, and half of those citations have already been dropped. This might seem like a high number, but the Hawk has anywhere between 700-1,000 people

come through its doors Wednesday through Saturday. Thats not even close to 1 percent of all their customers, which is pretty good. When you have as many customers as they do per night, it is extremely difcult to spot fraudulent IDs. It is becoming even more difcult with the improved technology used to make these IDs. It is almost impossible, even by a trained eye. Whether anyone wants to admit it, fake IDs are a part of college life. When I was a freshman, people went from dorm to dorm selling fake IDs. While I wanted to get one, I ultimately decided against it. One man in particular made the IDs two to three days after he had taken the picture of the student. He charged $80 per ID. I saw some of the IDs after my friends received them, and I

compared them to my authentic Illinois drivers license. I was surprised how good they were. If an ID from one of the most populous states can be easily forged, this just shows how advanced this business has become. If someone who has been a resident of Illinois his whole life cannot tell a fake ID from a real one, how are bouncers at bars, not from the state, supposed to be able to? With all this bad publicity aimed at The Hawk recently, it is also important to remember what good things it has done for the community. In the past two years, The Hawks employees and patrons have contributed more than $24,000 to a number of different charities: $6,000 to the hurricane Katrina relief fund,

$3,000 to the Ali Kemp Fund, $2,500 for Leukemia research, $1,700 to the American Cancer Research Center, and $1,000 dollars to the AIDS Walk in Kansas City and Toys-for-Tots. Lawrence police ofcer Larry Hamilton told the Lawrence Journal-World on Sept. 29, Its easy to go into The Hawk and get a minor in possession. Well, here is a news ash for Ofcer Hamilton: It is easy to go to any bar in Lawrence and nd a minor in possession. The reason why it is easier at the Hawk is because there are so many people there, not because they are doing a bad job of checking IDs. What people apparently have forgotten is that there are two other bars in the area, The Wheel and Bullwinkles, that the police also pay attention to. There are other bars in Lawrence that

have more MIPs charges than the Hawk, but people dont hear about that. Nobody sees stories about them in the news, nobody sees their pictures in the paper or hears rumors that their owners have been thrown in jail. And certainly, those bars do not have a cartoon in the paper referring to suicide less than a month after one of their previous employees tragically took his own life. A few articles, some opinions and some pictures is one thing, but this continual barrage of unfair statements has gone too far. Perhaps this mudslinging style of journalism will change in the future, but for now, The Hawk has been open since 1919, and it has every intention of staying open.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Military is diverse enough

The Lawrence Counter Recruitment organization suffers from a myopic view on integration in the armed services. By focusing its attention on the LGBT issue, it has missed the forest for the trees. Of course, the issue of LGBT and the military is difcult. For the record, the Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy was established by President Bill Clinton so that gays and lesbians could serve in the military. But while campaigning on campus, the organization has perpetuated only the gross misconceptions regarding the armed services and its success in integration which is the reality. I could make an argument for my point, but I will defer to the three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist, Thomas Friedman, whose Op-Ed column in The New York Times on Oct. 5 eloquently expresses the diversity that exists in todays military: Can you imagine yourself as a 24-year-old female Executive Ofcer and leading boarding parties onto boats conducting inspections in the Persian Gulf? The reality is that the U.S. military consistently leads most other professions in the country in its non-discrimination, but this is something the LCR does not want you to remember.

ROTC students are training to defend our country from known enemies, but protests and anti-war sentiments on campus have put these young soldiers on the defense. Walking through campus in uniform, ROTC students high visibility sometimes makes them the recipients of fellow students political views. I may not always agree, but it doesnt offend me, because thats the point. Thats what democracy is all about, said Craig Lee, Air Force ROTC Wing Commander. Anti-war rallies, letters to the editor and protests are often aimed at ROTC students. Individual attacks, though rare, are especially discouraging to ROTC members. Matt Weilbacher, Ft. Leavenworth junior and Air Force cadet, was walking through the Kansas Union in uniform with his friend, a fellow cadet, when someone spit on his friend. Others have had to face verbal attacks for their participation in ROTC. During my freshman year, I was called a baby killer in Hashinger, said Megan Mallare, Air Force ROTC Operations Group Commander and Leawood senior. Remarks and attitudes like these made Mallare re-evaluate her motivation for joining the Air Force. She thought she should either quit the program or reaffirm her reasons for joining. She chose to do the latter. This May she will be commissioned as an Air Force Intelligence Officer. I would like people to see the separation, Lee said. There is no policy being made in ROTC. Yelling at ROTC cadets isnt going to do anything. Weilbacher thinks that people are misinformed about the military and ROTC. He said that the medias portrayal of the military skews peoples perceptions. When people think of the Army, they think of artillery, tanks, bombs and killing, Weilbacher said. When people think of the Air Force, they think pilots. But the military is so much more. The focus of the ROTC program is to prepare students to become military officers and future leaders. In addition to their military training, ROTC students major in different fields of study such as journalism, engineering and nursing, which can translate into their military careers. A journalism student can serve in a public relations job. An engineer can work as a computer systems officer or civil engineer to design, plan and direct the construction of military facilities. Navy midshipman Veronica Cooper, Lawrence junior, is working on her nursing degree and has been a member of the ROTC for three years. When she is commissioned upon graduation, she will utilize her nursing education in the military. ROTC students reasons for joining the program are as diverse as their majors are. Many ROTC students come from military families, which has influenced their decision to join. Some patriotic students feel the need to give back to their country because of what it is has given them. The financial benefits of the program play a large role as well. Lt. Col. Jeff Maxcy, adjunct professor for the Army ROTC, said Army cadets receive a stipend in their last two years of the advanced program. Senior cadets receive $400 a month and juniors receive $350 a month. They receive the stipend on top of any scholarship. As a commissioned officer, graduates can expect to make at least $40,000 a year, he said. John Irvine, Ft. Leavenworth freshman and son of a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel, joined the Universitys Army ROTC program because he wanted to serve his country and give back to the military, because it gave him the opportunity to travel with his family. Irvine said the military was everything hed ever known. He had many fullride scholarship offers after high school, but he wanted to serve because it had given him so much, he said. Ive experienced so much, Ive lived everywhere in the country and Ive met people from so many countries, he said. Irvine has a four-year ROTC scholarship. He said he wanted to pay for his own education and the Army was the best way to do that. While ROTC stresses uniformity and unity, individual ideas are highly valued. We have several liberal students in ROTC. We want them in the military solving problems from a liberal perspective, said Maxcy. The military wants to be just as diverse as the student population. We want critical thinkers so we can solve problems without having to shoot a bullet. Cooper considers herself a liberal. She disagrees with the ROTC on social issues, but is conservative militarywise. She said her friends had mixed reactions to her joining ROTC. Although they supported her achievement in earning a scholarship, some did not agree with the military. We have discussions about current events and my friends are mature about it. They dont attack me, we just share our beliefs, Cooper said.

Mangino gets it right, finally

It took Mark Mangino five games, but it looks like hes finally taking the necessary steps to improve his putrid offense. Not only will there be no platoon of quarterbacks during Saturdays game against Oklahoma, but two of the Jayhawks top athletes will be utilized to the best of their offensive potential. Tuesday, the Kansas football coach gave his team its best chance at victory by announcing that senior Brian Luke would start at quarterback and freshman Marcus Herford would move to wide receiver for Saturdays game. Leading up to the weekly press conference, many speculated that Mangino was so desperate to spark his offense that senior quarterback Jason Swanson, who has been on the offensive scout team, would start against Oklahoma. Mangino did say that Swanson was now practicing with the second offensive unit in practice, but starting a quarterback that Mangino admitted wasnt near ready to play last week

Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named senior quarterback Brian Luke as the starter yesterday for Saturdays game against Oklahoma. Mangino played three quarterbacks in each of the two conference games this year. He said he hoped to use Luke exclusively on Saturday. I told him, I am looking for you to start, to finish and win the game, Mangino said. Luke completed four passes against Kansas State last week. This season he is 64 of 121 for 764 yards. Luke has five touchdowns and five interceptions. We think that Brian has been in the system the longest and really has shown the most understanding of our offense, Mangino said. We think, when protected, he is delivering the ball better than any of our quarterbacks. Mangino has pulled Luke often in the previous two games, replacing him with junior quar-

The offense had 236 yards of total offense last weekend against Kansas State. Mangino will look to players aside from the quarterbacks to jumpstart the offense. One of those positions is wide receiver. He said that Herford would see a lot of time at wide receiver this week. What I am trying to do is create competition there, so that they push each other and move their performance to another level, Mangino said. The teams leading receiver, senior wide receiver Mark Simmons, hopes that the offense will perform at the same level that it performed in practice.

would have been crazy. Making Luke the starter was absolutely the right decision. Luke has proven to be the most consistent of any quarterback on the team, and the only one who can move the ball down field. He was by far the best quarterback during nonconference play, and his touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Mark Simmons against Texas Tech was the only touchdown drive that Kansas has put together in a conference game this season. Opposing defenses dont have to worry about long pass plays when junior quarterback Adam Barmann and Herford are in the game, but Luke can force safeties to move back and open up the running game.

Jayhawks ready for Border Showdown

Jayhawk volleyball continues a rough stretch in the Big 12 schedule Saturday when the team travels to Columbia, Mo., to play the seventh-ranked Missouri Tigers. First serve is set for 6:30 p.m. at the Hearnes Center. Kansas (12-5, 4-4 Big 12) is coming off two consecutive home losses. Saturday it dropped a four-game match to No. 1 Nebraska at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. Before that, Kansas was swept by 20thranked Kansas State. Missouri is 12-1 overall and 6-1 in conference play, with its only loss coming from Nebraska. The Tigers have a match tonight against the No. 18 Texas Longhorns before they shift their focus to the Jayhawks. Kansas sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown said that the Missouri match was always a little different than other conference matches. Theyre obviously a really big rival, Brown said. For me,

personally, growing up in Kansas, I always want to do well against those guys. The Tigers swept the season series from the Jayhawks last year. Overall, Missouri holds a 40-31 edge over Kansas since the first match between the teams in 1975. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said his team would expect a very strong effort on both sides of the net. Theyre a great team, he said. Theyre extremely good at siding out. Its a situation where we have to get them out of their system, because theyre very efficient. Missouri averages 17.8 kills per game. It leads the nation in that category, according to the latest NCAA report. In comparison, Kansas is 30th with 16.24. Missouri features senior setter Lindsey Hunter, who is in her fourth year of running the offense. Hunter led the conference in assists in her first three campaigns. The allAmerican is on top of the Big 12 again, averaging 14.7 assists per game.

ollege basketball season officially starts on Saturday, Oct. 15. For students at the University of Kansas, festivities begin the night before at Late Night at the Phog. Kansas fans will not only get their first glimpse of this years new-look Jayhawks, but they will also see the new-look Allen Fieldhouse, which underwent a facelift during the offseason. It will be the first time our fans can see our freshmen, the improvements to Allen Fieldhouse, and it will be their first look at this years team, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self said.

Fans ready for Phog

This years Late Night in the Phog will be slightly different from those in the past mainly because the festivities will be broadcast live on ESPN U from 8 to 9 p.m. The celebration will run from about 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., a change from past years when the carousing continued until after midnight. Five universities were selected for the broadcast. Kentucky, Memphis, Oregon and Michigan State are also included in the telecast. This thing is a pretty big deal, Self said. Its certainly the most important of the Late Night celebrations that we have had since I have been here. It will be important not only because people will have access from their living rooms to what only the most intimate group of Kansas fans have had in the past, but also because there will be a gang of highly-rated high school recruits who visited the University this weekend. Last year, freshmen Mario Chalmers, Micah Downs and Julian Wright all attended Late Night. I was really impressed with Late Night, Downs said. It made me realize how much they loved basketball here. Doors to the fieldhouse open at 5:30 p.m. and seating is first-come, first-served.

Seniors hat trick helps her earn Big 12 honors

For the second time in her Kansas career, senior forward Jessica Smith was named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. Smiths play in the last week sparked a turning point in the Jayhawks season. Her first collegiate hat trick against Oklahoma State last Friday helped push her squad to a 4-1 victory against the Cowgirls. She struck again in the second game of the weekend, adding number two of three goals against the Oklahoma Sooners in a 3-0 victory on Sunday. After a slow start to her senior season, Smith has said her abundance of offense is a sigh of relief and has since shown no signs of letting up. As the second Jessica to be named to the 2005 Big 12 player of the week list Jessica Bush was named earlier this season Smith now has nine points on the season. Her team heads to Lubbock, Texas, this weekend to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders before facing off against the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder, Colo., this Sunday.

The 168-132 loss to the nationally ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers does not have the Kansas swimming and diving team discouraged. In fact, the Jayhawks couldnt be more excited to see where the 20052006 season will take them, said sophomore Terri Schramka. An analysis by Kansas swimming coach Clark Campbell following the Minnesota dual meet disclosed that the team is ahead of where it was at this point last year. We are, as far as a team, already as we were at the end of last year, and we are substantially better, Campbell said. Despite the excitement of the Jayhawks positive beginning to the dual-meet season, they must remain tough going into this weekends events. The team faces back-to-back meets Friday and Saturday. It will travel to Columbia, Mo., Friday to compete in the all-day Big 12 Relays meet at Missouri. Although all of the Big 12 Conference teams with a swimming and diving team will be present, Campbell said he would not focus as much on the competition within the Conference as he would on his team. The meet starts out as a fun meet, but when all of the coaches and swimmers are together, it becomes very competitive, Campbell said. There is so

The Kansas swimming and diving team lost the meet to Minnesota 168-132 and will next compete in the Big 12 Relays Friday in Columbia, Mo. much going on, but all I am paying attention to is KU swimmers and divers. Campbell said the relay meet was a good opportunity to do a lot of videotaping to isolate camera time on individual Kansas swimmers for stroke analysis. Kansas does not get the opportunity to videotape at every meet. In addition to benefiting from the video footage, Kansas will get the opportunity to acclimate to Missouris pool, the site of the 2005-2006 Big 12 Conference Championships in February. The pool at Mizzou is new, and we are looking to reach our potential and get comfortable and excited in their pool, Campbell said. Following Fridays relay meet in Columbia, Mo., Kansas will head to Kirksville, Mo., for a dual meet against Truman State, which has won five consecutive Division II National Championships. Campbell recognized that the back-to-back meets would be physically challenging. Weve got to get used to back-to-back meets because thats how championship meets are formatted, Campbell said. We need to bounce back and race our best, because Truman State is looking to knock off a Division I team. Schramka said the fatigue would not be an issue this weekend for the Jayhawks. Our program strives to prepare us during practice; we work hard so that when back-to-back meets come, were prepared, Schramka said. The Jayhawks last faced the Bulldogs Jan. 21, 2005, at Robinson Natatorium, and came out on top 177-103. It is a serious challenge to us that theyre at home in their pool, Campbell said. When you win national championships, you dont have any weaknesses. The Truman State dual meet will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday following the all-day Big 12 relay meet on Friday.

Jayhawks fourth in Big 12

The Kansas soccer team wont have a fall break this year. This weekend the Jayhawks will travel to Lubbock, Texas, and Boulder, Colo., with momentum on their side. Kansas will face Texas Tech at 7 p.m. on Friday and Colorado at 2 p.m. on Sunday. The momentum came from home victories against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma last weekend. The performances raised Kansas from eighth place to fourth place in Big 12 Conference standings. Once you realize what youre capable of doing, I think its just an open door now for us to improve and get better, said Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis. Kansas (7-5-2, 3-2-1 Big 12) will look to add to Texas Techs 10-game losing skid (1-12-0, 04-0 Big 12). The Red Raiders are last in the Big 12 and have not won a match since August, when they topped Sam Houston State, 32, in overtime. Texas shut them out in a 60 defeat last Sunday. The Red Raiders had two shots on goal in the game. In the conference, any game is tough, especially on the road, Francis said. We have to address the game the same way, regardless of who we are playing. The Red Raiders have not scored in their last four matches and were outscored 14-0 in that span. Texas Tech forward Kimmie Davis leads the team in goals,

six, and points, 13. Kansas will face Colorado (7-5-2, 3-2-0 Big 12) on Sunday. The Buffaloes are coming off of a weekend sweep of their own, shutting out Northern Colorado on Sunday, 3-0, and Texas, 2-0, last Friday. Colorado is in sixth place in the Conference. With the conference being so close, I dont think anyone can afford to give up any points, Francis said. We only have four conference games left. We have to go out and win them all. Colorado midfielder Fran Munnelly lit up the field last weekend, knocking in a goal against Texas before adding a pair of them against Northern Colorado. Munnelly leads the Buffaloes with eight goals for 19 points. Kansas will look to the recent play of senior forward Jessica Smith to hold off Texas Tech and Colorado. Smith scored four goals last weekend, including her first career hat trick against Oklahoma State. She was named Big 12 Conference offensive player of the week for her performance. Were looking forward to coming out this weekend and winning both games, Smith said. Were confident in that. Freshman keeper Julie Hanley will likely be in goal after posting a 3-0 record and a .81 GAA. Hanley has allowed three goals and has saved 14. I think Julie did very well this weekend, Francis said. Shell continue to play right now. Edited by Becca Evanhoe

The Kansas womens golf team finished sixth overall at the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational Tuesday in Manhattan. Kansas won the tournament last year at Alvamar Golf and Country Club. TCU won this years tournament with an 869 three-round total. All five of the Horned Frogs golfers placed in the top ten individually. The Jayhawks, with a team score of 923, were paced by junior Amanda Costner, who finished sixth overall with a threeround score of 220. Costner has now finished in the top 10 in all three tournaments this year. Senior Chelsey Pryor, who won the Battle at the Lake tournament in Tulsa, Okla., on Oct. 4, finished 25th overall in Manhattan. Sophomore Annie Giangrosso, senior Meredith Winkelmann and junior Jill Womble finished 33rd, 43rd and 48th, respectively.

On Monday, the Jayhawks shot an unimpressive team score of 315 in the first round, but bounced back with 297 in the second round. We didnt play very smart golf in the first round, but the second round was much better, Kansas coach Erin ONeil said. At the start of the third round yesterday, Kansas was in fifth place well behind Oral Roberts, the fourth place team. The Jayhawks shot a score of 311, dropping beneath Missouri State in the standings. Nebraska, Kansas State, Oral Roberts, and Missouri State rounded out the top five after TCU. Kansas States Helene Robert took home the individual championship after beating Nebraskas Stephanie Ruiz in two playoff holes. Kansas will hit the fairways next at the Lady Razorback Invitational on Sunday in Fayetteville, Ark. Edited by Katie Lohrenz

Cardinals player uses break to nurse injuries

ST. LOUIS The extra day the St. Louis Cardinals have had between playoff series has been a much-needed break for Larry Walker. The 38-year-old right fielder was hit by a pitch on his right knee in Game 3 of the division series sweep of the Padres and needed therapy to reduce swelling in time for the NLCS rematch against the Houston Astros that begins tonight. Walker said getting plunked in the knee by Woody Williams in the second inning was much worse than the nasty-looking spill he took over a railing while chasing a foul ball later in the game. Its the latest injury for Walker, who has received four cortisone shots this season for a herniated disc in his neck. Honestly, I wouldnt have been able to play yesterday with my knee, Walker said. Walker had no explanation for his headover-heels tumble over the waisthigh railing, after it appeared he had stopped. I dont know what that was about, he said. I apologize for that, but it was a perfect landing. Nothing went wrong. Walker is enjoying his second straight postseason appearance with the Cardinals after making it only once in his first 14 seasons. The Cardinals acquired him in August 2004.

1B That is the question we are trying to answer right now why the carry over from practice to the game is not as high as it should be, Simmons said. This weekends game at Arrowhead Stadium will mark the first time that Kansas has played at the home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Mangino said he expected a large number of Kansas alumni in Kansas City, Mo., to attend the game. Senior linebacker Kevin Kane is from Parkville, Mo., and has been a Chiefs fan his entire life. I got a bunch of family coming to this game, being from Kansas City, he said. I have never had a chance to play in Arrowhead. It is going to be an awesome time.

Oklahoma fans will also be expected to make their presence felt. Oklahoma will travel well; they always do, Mangino said. How big their contingency will be I dont know at this point in time. Football Notes: Mangino named the team players of the week at Tuesdays press conference. Senior linebackers Kevin Kane and Banks Floodman were named defensive players of the week, while tight end Derek Fine was named special teams player of the week. Mangino did not select an offensive player of the week.

1B Mangino said that ultimately Lukes passing ability outweighed his mental errors. Sure, Luke has made mistakes during the past few weeks, but so has every offensive player. Mangino has been critical of Lukes decision to twice call options deep in Kansas territory that resulted in turnovers, but in both cases running backs attributed to the miffed pitches. Luke also threw some bad interceptions against Texas Tech, but his receivers were rarely open and he was continually rushed in the pocket. We feel like Brian gives us the best opportunity to win, Mangino said. When protected, he delivers the ball better than any other quarterback we have. Making the situation better is that Mangino said Luke was the only quarterback he planned to use in Saturdays game. He said that in meetings with Luke, he told him he was looking for him to start, finish and win the game. He added that to help cut down on mental errors he told Luke to trust his initial feelings and not worry about the consequences.

This will work wonders for Lukes confidence. Last year, he played in two games without fear of being replaced and excelled. During those games he almost led Kansas to an upset of Texas and defeated Missouri on the road. Theres no telling if Manginos faith in Luke will return him to his old form, but it can only help. Luke will also be helped with the addition of a new weapon he can throw the ball to. The Herford quarterback experiment seems to be over, for now, and it will be good to see one of the Jayhawks best athletes do something besides ride the bench. In preseason practices Herford dazzled the media by burning junior cornerback Charles Gordon for a touchdown pass, and he showed promise during last weeks game by gaining big yardage on a trick play. With him and Luke on the field at the same time, Kansas offense still wont resemble the offense that normally plays at Arrowhead Stadium, but it will surely be an improvement from last week.

1B The celebration for the womens basketball team will start about 6:30 p.m and last until about 8 p.m. The womens team will perform skits and have a short scrimmage. After that, all eyes will be on this years mens basketball team. For about an hour on Friday night, Kansas fans will see a side of the players that is seldom revealed on the basketball court. The team will transform themselves into singing and dancing fools as each class performs a skit. Last year, members of the senior class dressed in tuxedos and performed a dream skit

where they made vows to lead the team through blood and sweat and honor the tradition of Kansas basketball to Danny Manning and Mike Maddox, members of the 1988 championship team. The sophomore class stole the show by performing its best imitation of The Temptations. The entertainment capped off when the team members gathered in a circle and danced to Step In the Name of Love and Drop It Like Its Hot. Wright, a freshman forward, said he had been looking forward to participating in Late Night since he got to the University this summer. I have just been waiting to get out there and get the season startmatch and that the timing was fortunate. The team was able to take a day off Tuesday before it returns to practice today. The Jayhawks will use the extra practice this week to adjust to new assignments. With the season-ending injury to junior outside hitter Jana Correa, the Jayhawks have had to shuffle their rotation. Junior Megan Hill has replaced Correa in the starting lineup, and junior Dani

ed, Wright said. Being here last year, it just looked like the guys were having so much fun. Self said the excitement that Late Night brings to the players is one of the best parts about the event. It is a really fun time for the guys, and it gets them all jacked up about the season, Self said. After all of the dancing and laughing is over, the team will put on a more serious face for a short scrimmage. Since broadcasting the scrimmage will take place at 8:40 p.m. and include warm-ups, not all of the scrimmage will fit into the block of time before 9 p.m. The end of scrimmage will only be seen by the fieldhouse faithful. Wittman and freshman Liz Ingram have seen more action as defensive specialists. Bechard said the team had moved on and was focusing on getting back on a winning track. Were not talking about that anymore, he said. Were going to roll with the players we have. We think we can still meet many of our goals, and everybodys tightened up the circle a little bit.

Self said that this years Late Night would be more coordinated than in past years. There will also be a few modifications to the performances. We will do a couple of things as a team this year, Self said. With the added excitement of the national broadcast, Self encouraged fans and the student body to share in the excitement, despite the fact that it would be fall break. We appreciate everybody who sticks around during fall break or even comes back for Late Night, Self said. This is probably as important a Late Night as weve had. Edited by Becca Evanhoe Brown said the Jayhawks would be ready for a tough match. She said they were confident they could compete with the Tigers because they both had similar results against Nebraska. Mizzou is a very good technical team, a quality team every year, she said. We will have to play well, but we think we can go there and win. Edited by Tricia Masenthin

A little friendly competition

Rivals Astros, Cardinals just want to get along this season

ST. LOUIS They are members of the same division. Theyre perennial playoff teams. And theyre meeting for the second year in a row with a trip to the World Series at stake. All right! Lets have some fightin words between these obviously bitter rivals. They run a classy organization over there, said Lance Berkman of the Houston Astros. We have a lot of respect for them. Hmm, maybe well fare better at stirring things up in the opposing clubhouse. Theyre a good bunch of guys, said David Eckstein of the St. Louis Cardinals. Its hard to dislike them. Thud. Clearly, this isnt Middle Americas version of YankeesRed Sox. In fact, its not even close to being the best rivalry in the NL Central the Cardinals-Cubs. Thats at a different level because of the fans, Eckstein conceded. I dont know that youll find a Cardinals fan who says he hates the Astros more than the Cubs. But, when it comes to performance on the field, the Cardinals and Astros have risen to the top of the senior circuit. Theyre back for the first NL championship series rematch in 13 years, which begins with Game 1 tonight at soon-to-bedemolished Busch Stadium (a new stadium, set to open in 2006, is rising next door). Its a classic from a baseball standpoint, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. Maybe you dont get as much passion from the fans during Cardinals-Astros as you do for Cardinals-Cubs. But were building a pretty good passion base for our fans and for each other because we play so much. Indeed, there are many similarities between the teams. Both have deep starting rotations. Both have dominating closers. Both have versatile offenses that can go long or manufacture runs when the situation calls for it. And both are making a habit of playing in October. St. Louis has six playoff appearances over the past decade, reaching the NLCS four times and the World Series a year ago with a seven-game victory against the Astros. The Cardinals stayed alive when Jim Edmonds hit a gamewinning homer in the 12th inning of Game 6. Houston is making its sixth playoff appearance in nine years and looking to reach the World Series for the first time in franchise history. The Astros made a breakthrough last year by escaping the opening round. They knocked off the Braves again this year, advancing with an 18inning win Sunday the longest game in postseason history. Now, even after meeting 16 times during the regular season and preparing for Astros-Cardinals II, both sides say its impossible to drum up the sort of hatred that signifies a truly passionate rivalry. For one, Houston still feels like a junior member instead of an equal partner. The Cardinals followed up last years NL pennant the 16th in franchise history by going 11-5 against the Astros this season on the way to 100 wins and a runaway victory in the Central Division. Houston finished 11 games back. Its not really going to be

When they go home mad, then it will be a rivalry. Right now, its kind of one-sided. But he acknowledges the parallels between the teams, right down to the makeovers both underwent since their first meeting in the NLCS, changes brought on by frail health and monetary decisions. On the field, its a classic, La Russa said. We play the game the same way. OK, so Astros-Cardinals doesnt qualify as a rivalry in the classic sense theres just not enough trash-talking. It may not be intense in the stands, but its intense on the field, Berkman said. Its not a rivalry of hatred. Its a rivalry of mutual respect.

Angels take Game 1

Los Angeles wins opener on little rest

CHICAGO The Los Angeles Angels will have plenty of time to rest. Right now, theyre too busy winning. Paul Byrd pitched effectively in a pinch, Garret Anderson homered, and the travel-weary Angels edged the Chicago White Sox 3-2 Tuesday night in the opener of the AL championship series. The Angels were supposed to be more than a little jet-lagged. Sunday night, they were on the East Coast, playing the Yankees. Monday night, they were back on the West Coast, beating New York. Now, theyre in the Midwest, with no off-day until Thursday. Seeking their first World Series berth in 46 years and first championship since 1917, the White Sox got another outstanding outing from Jose Contreras but couldnt manage much offense. The Cuban right-hander worked into the ninth inning but lost for the first time since Aug. 15, ending his nine-start winning streak. Chicago had won eight games in a row going back to the regular season, but fell short against a Los Angeles team playing in its third time zone in three nights. Recovering from a throat infection and fever, Jarrod Washburn is slated to pitch Game 2 for the Angels tonight against All-Star starter Mark Buehrle. Scot Shields retired slugger Paul Konerko with two on to end the eighth. Francisco Rodriguez worked around third baseman Chone Figgins error to begin the bottom of the ninth and struck out Joe Crede to close it out.

Los Angeles Angels Chone Figgins steals second base as Chicago White Sox second baseman Tadahito Iguchi of Japan corrals the throw from White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski in the eighth inning of Game 1 of the American League Championship Series at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Tuesday. The Angels won, 3-2. The Angels won Game 1 for the first time in six postseason series under manager Mike Scioscia. The Angels lost in New York on Sunday, forcing them to fly cross-country overnight for a decisive Game 5. They made a pit stop at home for a seriesclinching victory Monday night, then jumped on a redeye to the Midwest and arrived at their hotel around 6:30 a.m. Tuesday. But Los Angeles was plenty fresh for the ALCS opener, thanks to Byrd and his bullpen. The 34-year-old right-hander walked only 28 batters all season and his throwback delivery, with arms rocking back behind him like a right-handed Whitey Ford, belongs in a flickering old cut of black-and-white film footage. A 12-game winner during the regular season, Byrd got the Game 1 start because he was the only option left. The firstround series took a toll on Los Angeles pitching staff, and ace Bartolo Colon was left off the ALCS roster because of a shoulder injury. Working on only three days rest, Byrd slipped on the mound while throwing a first-inning pitch to leadoff batter Scott Podsednik, then held Chicago in check for six-plus innings to earn his first postseason victory.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2005: You are unusually creative. Use your dynamic imagination to improve the quality of your life, work and relationships. Others adore your ingenuity and often seek you out. A child could play a big role in your year as well as in an artistic creation. Friends could be skeptical or play devils advocate. Make that OK with you. Be supportive to someone who might be depressed this year. If you are single, you certainly will have the opportunity to change that status. Ah, romance. If you are attached, plan a second honeymoon, or a first one! Know that your imagination could lead you down some strange paths. AQUARIUS knows how to make you smile. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Avoid a negative person. Although, you might need to be more realistic, especially about a loved one or a creative project. As a result of seeing more clearly, you will be able to enjoy greater success. Focus on meetings; listen to others ideas. Tonight: Where the crowds are. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH You might get some unusual flak from a boss or authority figure. Visualize more of what you want through a discussion. The person you are dealing with has great ideas. Work with him or her. Not all ideas need to be practical; they could become realistic with some work. Tonight: Out late. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHHH You might want to detach rather than become glum. You will find that you can visualize and create a solution to a hassle. Use your mental processes to the max. Be spontaneous too. Tonight: Talk to a person you consider a resource. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You might need to defer to someone else, as you see a situation bleakly. Others seem to be able to work through negativity and come up with grounded solutions. A relationship deepens. You might think others are in dreamland. A mix of cynicism and ingenuity works perfectly. Tonight: Togetherness. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You might be a bit more serious than usual. Curb negativity, if possible. Defer to others who might have a different perspective. Discussions open doors for you and others. Handle your funds carefully. Tonight: Accept an invitation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your ability to visualize, speak and infuse others with enthusiasm is contagious. Use your ability to intuit others needs. A meeting could become a brainstorming session. Let it happen. Tonight: With favorite people. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Though you might think you have a firm handle on a money matter, you dont. A fact or perspective is missing. Be the wise Goat and take your time with a decision. Meanwhile, others watch your savvy. Tonight: A promised visit. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You want to break away from the here and now. Nothing bores the Water Bearer more than routine. Experiment with different ideas. Some might want to sign up for a class. Pursue a dream. Tonight: As you wish. Others go along. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HH Pull back and do some heavy thinking. A discussion with a close friend or loved one provides much insight. Know when to hush up and not tell others what is happening. Recognize that you might be overtired. Tonight: Vanish.

Hawks need offense Sooner than later

KU Blitz
at a glance
F Oklahoma has won the previous three games against Kansas, including a 41-10 victory last season. Kansas and Oklahoma have both struggled on offense this season and rely on their running attacks to move the football. Look for both defenses to play against the run.

Kansas vs. Oklahoma 6 p.m., Saturday, Arrowhead Stadium

OFFENSE

OU Blitz
at a glance
F Oklahomas season got off

Kansas

Oklahoma
Its no secret that running back Adrian Peterson is the heart and soul of the Oklahoma offense. The sophomore running back was a Heisman Trophy finalist last season and was named First Team All-American after the season. This year he has been hobbled by an ankle injury. Peterson carried the ball only three times for 10 yards last week against Texas, but is expected to start and play this weekend. Another weapon on offense for the Sooners is senior wide receiver Travis Wilson. He caught 11 touchdowns last season, but hasnt found the end zone yet. The Sooners are anchored on the offensive line by senior offensive tackle Davin Joseph. Joseph has been starting since his freshman year and is an All-American candidate this season.

The Kansas offense had its worst offensive performance of the Mark Mangino era against Kansas State last week. The team was unable to move the football, gaining just 236 yards of total offense. The offense also could not move the ball in the red zone, converting one of four tries. Kansas quarterbacks completed just seven passes. This week, Mangino will go with senior quarterback Brian Luke, who has started three games this season. Luke will need to prove that the Kansas offense can throw the football to open up the running game. Until he can do this, the Kansas offensive unit gets a zero ranking.

OFFENSE

to a bad start when it lost to Texas Christian at home and UCLA on the road. Oklahoma (2-3, 1-1 Big 12) won its opening conference game of the season, defeating Kansas State 43-21 at home, but was crushed by Texas to fall to 1-1 in conference.

F Oklahoma finally lost a game

last time out

F The Kansas offense failed to get anything done last week in a 12-3 loss against Kansas State. The quarterback position was the main area of concern; Kansas only completed seven passes. The Jayhawks will need to convert in the red zone as well.

DEFENSE

player to watch
F Kansas football coach Mark Mangino named senior quarterback Brian Luke the starter this week. Luke will need to rebound from last weeks 4-of-13 performance to move the Kansas offense. But if Luke can complete passes early, look for junior running back Jon Cornish to have a big day.

While the Kansas offense could not get anything going against Kansas State, the Kansas defense put together its most impressive performance of the season. The Jayhawk defense was led by senior linebacker Kevin Kane with 14 tackles and held the Wildcat rushing attack to just 35 yards on 45 carries. The Jayhawks will have to be even more successful this week against one of the nations best running backs in Oklahomas Adrian Peterson. Look for the Jayhawk linebackers to stack up against the run and make quarterback Rhett Bomar throw the football.

SPECIAL TEAMS

The Sooners are usually known for their dominating defense, and although this years defense lacks a true superstar, it still ranks in the top 20 in rush defense in the country. Juniors Zach Latimer and Rufus Alexander lead the Sooner defense in tackling, and Alexander is a candidate for the Butkus Award, which is given to the nations top linebacker. Senior Dusty Dvoracek leads the defensive line with 23 tackles, seven tackles for loss and two sacks. Dvoracek missed the 2004 season because of disciplinary problems, but has had no problems this season. In the defensive backfield, the Sooners boast two true freshman at safety, Reggie Smith and Nic Harris. Both players started the past two games and are expected to start this weekend against Kansas.

DEFENSE

to rival Texas last week, 4512. The Sooners had beaten the Longhorns five times in a row before the loss. Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson tried to play last weekend but left the game after just three carries

player to watch
F If Adrian Peterson is healthy

and, it will be a good test for the Kansas defense. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said Peterson is one of the best, if not the best, running backs in the country. Peterson ran for 1,925 yards and 15 touchdowns last season. He rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown last year against Kansas

5 quick facts

3 Oklahoma over Kansas. The current winning streak for

Combined completions for quarterbacks Brian Luke and Adam Barmann against Kansas State last week.

The Kansas special teams unit made its first big mistake of the season against Kansas State when junior cornerback Charles Gordon fumbled a punt return in Kansas territory. Other than that, the unit has been strong. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker consistently places the ball deep into opposing territories, and the punt and kickoff coverage has not allowed a big return yet. With the Kansas offense sputtering, sophomore kicker Scott Webb may be the difference maker in this game. If the offense can get Webb close enough for field goals, he could be the hero.

35 Total rushing yards

1 and 3: The current conference and national ranking of

the KU rush defense, respectively. Fumbles lost by the Jayhawks against the Wildcats. They will need to minimize turnovers this week.

Manginos quarterback shuffle has been confusing this season. He has shown that the quarterbacks could be pulled at any time. Mangino said his hope was that Luke would play the entire game against Oklahoma. The offensive play calling has been a concern this season as well. Mangino elected to remove freshman wide receiver Marcus Herford from the quarterback position last week after the Jayhawks moved into the red zone. Three plays later, junior Adam Barmann, who replaced Herford, turned the ball over. Mangino will need strong play from Luke this week if Kansas has a realistic chance against Oklahoma.
Ryan Colaianni

COACHES

Sophomore Garrett Hartley will handle the kicking duties for the Sooners this weekend. Hartley hit a career-long 52-yard field goal last weekend against Texas and is 7-10 on the season. Sophomore Cody Freeby is in his first season as Oklahomas punter. He is averaging just more than 41 yards per punt. Smith and Wilson will handle the kick return duties, and senior wide receiver Jejuan Rankins is the teams punt returner. Rankins is averaging just more than 11 yards per return.

It doesnt get much better than Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops. Stoops won a national championship in just his second year in 2000, and since then, the Sooners have won at least 11 games in each season. Stoops record at Oklahoma is 69-15. He has led Oklahoma to four BCS bowl games. Stoops was named consensus Big 12 coach of the year in 2000 and 2003. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino coached under Stoops at Oklahoma before coming to Kansas four seasons ago. Stoops has produced 21 All-Americans and 13 NFL draft choices while coaching at Oklahoma.

key injuries
F The Jayhawks will once again play without junior wide receiver Jonathan Lamb this week. Details on Lambs injury are unknown because Mangino does not discuss injury specifics.

key injuries
F he main injury for the SoonT

key to victory
If Luke is able to get the Jayhawks moving down the field, Kansas will have a chance at victory. The Kansas offense doesnt have to do much, but it will have to get in the end zone to give the defense a chance. If the defense can force turnovers and set up the offense with good field position, winning will become more feasible.

ers this weekend is Peterson. The coaching staff expects him to be ready for the game and to play the majority of it. Peterson has had trouble exploding off his ankle this season. He will look to turn his season around this weekend against the Jayhawks.

key to victory
Kansas didnt draw the best weekend to play Oklahoma, as the Sooners lost 45-12 to the Longhorns last weekend. Expect the Sooners to come out firing early on Saturday. If they build a lead, the Jayhawks have no chance.
