Friday was an emotional day for
coach Mark Mangino.
It was the ground-breaking cer-
emony for the new football facil-
ity next to Memorial Stadium and
Mangino talked about his former
players who have created an excite-
ment for the program enough
excitement to lead donors to
donate $31 million to fund the
new Anderson Family Football
Complex.
Mangino talked about the faith,
sacrifices, endless work and never-
give-up attitude from his players
and as he could finally see what
they had achieved Friday, the KU
football coach got choked up.
The kids that have played for
KU in recent years have made sac-
rifices and worked hard to create
this excitement where people want
to invest hard-earned money into
your football program and make
it better, Mangino said. And a lot
of those kids since 2002 that have
played their hearts out will never
use this facility, but theyve paved
the way for others.
Mangino has also helped pave
the way for the new facility. He
said hes been quietly lobbying for a
football facility since after the 2002
season when he went on the road
to convince boosters and alumni of
the need for a new facility.

Lauren Pierson and Scott
Ferguson were selected from more
than 35 applicants as Ex.C.E.L.
Award winners during halftime of
the football game on Saturday.
The Ex.C.E.L., or Excellence
in Community and Leadership,
awards are given annually during
Homecoming to honor two out-
standing senior students who have
demonstrated achievement in the
areas of community service, educa-
tion and leadership.
Applicants were required to
have an overall grade-point aver-
age of 3.0 or higher. They were
nominated by faculty members,
organizations and fellow students,
and then completed an application
process.
Pierson, Prairie Village senior,
doesnt know who nominated her
for the award, but said that the
experience was exciting.
I was very flattered that some-
one would think of me for this
award, she said. All of the final-
ists have been amazing leaders
throughout campus, and it was an
honor to be among these finalists.
A selection committee with
members from Student Union
Activities, the Board of Class
Officers and the Homecoming
steering committee, selected 10
finalists from the applicants to par-
ticipate in an interview. They then
chose a male and a female winner.
Alyssa George, Minneapolis,
Kan., senior and Ex.C.E.L. com-
mittee chairwoman for the
Homecoming steering committee,
said choosing two winners was
difficult because all of the finalists
were well qualified.
They were all dynamite, she
said. KU has outstanding indi-
viduals.
Ferguson, Leawood senior, is
president of the Interfraternity
Council and member of Mortar
Board and Beta Theta Pi frater-
nity.
Pierson interned with U.S. Rep.
Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) last
spring in Washington D.C. She is
currently an intern with the office
of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. She has
also been involved with Student
Senate and is a member of Chi
Omega sorority.

Since Aug. 6, there have been
21 reported bicycle thefts on cam-
pus, according to the archived daily
crime logs for the KU Public Safety
Office.
The online National Bike
Registry estimates 1.5 million bikes
are stolen each year. Of those, 48
percent are recovered but only 5
percent are returned because many
bikes are not registered.
The National Bike Registry,
www. nationalbikeregistry. com,
offers a service in which bike own-
ers can register their bikes serial
number with a national database
for a fee. A special NBR label is
then placed on the bike for identi-
fication if it is recovered. Any law
enforcement agency can become a
member for free and return recov-
ered bikes to their owners.
Users sign up for the service
by paying a one-time fee of $10
for 10 years or $25 for 30 years of
coverage. Families can also pay $25
to register up to five bikes at one
address for 10 years.
When law enforcement agencies
become members of the service in
addition to being able to access the
database at any time, they are pro-
vided with free registration materi-
als for people wishing to sign up
and posters and decals to display
in their stat
The NBR also offers law enforce-
ment agencies a way to generate
revenue by selling the labels above
the wholesale price of $3.50 per
label. If the law enforcement agen-
cy doesnt wants to make money,
but still want to offer the service,
it can sell the labels at the whole-
sale price, Mariya Grigorova, NBR
spokeswoman, said.
Neither the KU Public Safety
Office nor the Lawrence Police
Department subscribe to this ser-
vice. Each department can still
access the database if a bike with a
NBR label is recovered, but because
theyre not members, they dont
have access to the resources to let
KU students and Lawrence resi-
dents know about the service.
The Lawrence police and KU
Public Safety Office dont keep spe-
cific statistics on bike thefts, but
include bike theft in general theft
numbers.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU
Public Safety Office wasnt famil-
iar with the NBR or the national
database and couldnt say if it was
something the University of Kansas
would be interested in.
I would want to research it
before committing one way or
another to it, Bailey said.
Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence
police was aware of the service and
knew his department could access
the database if a bike with a NBR
label was recovered, and said that
was the main reason they didnt
subscribe to the service.
He added that as a law enforce-
ment agency, the Lawrence police
could not advocate for a profit
organization.
Ward said that the Lawrence
police offered its own bike recov-
ery service.

Enrollment for foreign students
at the University of Kansas is on the
rise this year after decreasing at the
University and across the nation in
recent years.
According to a study called
Open Doors 2005, released by
the Institute of International
Education, enrollment of foreign
students decreased by 1.3 percent
in the 2004-2005 school year. The
previous year enrollment decreased
by 2.4 percent.
Joe Potts, director of International
Student and Scholar Services, said
enrollment at the University had
increased a little more than 5 per-
cent from a year ago.
Were pretty pleased, he said.
Enrollment at the University had
been decreasing since 2001, reach-
ing its lowest point when it dropped
7 percent last year.
Potts said enrollment decreased
after Sept. 11, 2001, in part because
increased security measures made
getting visas tougher and more
expensive.
Additionally, other countries are
now competing more aggressively
for international students. Potts
estimated that before Sept. 11 one-
third of all international students
were studying in the United States.

Bringing together recreation-
al and competitive cyclists is an
organization at the University of
Kansas that has been active for
more than 30 years.
KU Cycling Club hopes to
invite and get together people
who are interested in riding bikes
so that we can ride together and
also have the opportunity to race,
Kathy Kalbac, St. Louis senior and
Cycling Club president, said.
Curiosity about the group and
the sport has been on the rise.
A lot of people have gained
interest since Lance Armstrong
and the popularity in professional
cycling, Kalbac said, referring to
the approximate 35 members cur-
rently involved in the organiza-
tion.
Though members of the club
can choose whether to compete
or not, the opportunities for those
interested in racing are vast. Five
collegiate mountain-bike races
are held in the fall and five road
races will be in the spring. Various
schools compete in races with KU,
mostly from Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Minnesota, according
to Kalbac.
The goal for racers in the club
is to compete in USA Cyclings
National Collegiate Road
Championships held in May of
each year. The club has hosted the
championships in Lawrence for
the past two years and plans to
host the event in 2007 as well.
Kalbac, who competed in the
championships last spring, admit-
ted that although she had rode
bikes before, it was only one year
ago that she became serious about
cycling. New and experienced rid-
ers alike should not feel intimi-
dated to get involved.
Kalbac said the club welcomes
students that just want company
riding or those who are interested
in competing.
General meetings are typically
held once a month for anyone
interested about the club. For
more information about getting
involved with the organization,
students can visit www.kucycling.

World record broken for
kissing poisonous snakes
PATTAYA, Thailand A Thai
snake charmer kissed 19 poison-
ous king cobras in an attempt to
set a world record.
One by one, the cobras were
released Saturday onto a stage
set up in this Thai beach resort
town, as the snake charmer,
Khum Chaibuddee, kissed each
one and then moved onto the
next.
Security was tight, with four
additional snake charmers
fanking the stage at each corner
and a medical team waiting
on the sidelines with serum in
case one of the snakes snapped,
according to a statement from
Thailands Ripleys Believe It or
Not Museum in Pattaya, which
organized the event.
The museums manager, Som-
porn Naksuetrong, said Ripleys
planned to submit the attempt
to the Guinness Book of World
Records to overtake a previ-
ous record set in 1999 when an
American kissed 11 venomous
snakes.
Khum, a part-time snake
charmer for more than 12 years,
urged children and onlookers
not to try the feat.
I, myself, have been bitten
several times by snakes, he said
in a statement. Always bear in
mind the old story about the
snake charmer who died (from
being) bitten by snakes.
Man pleads guilty to

HAMILTON, Bermuda A
cabbie who gives rides and sells
marijuana?
Thats the story an American
tourist peddled to a Bermuda
judge, who fned him $1,500 on
Friday for carrying the drug into
the British Atlantic territory.
Anthony Powe, of Fresno, Ca-
lif., pleaded guilty to importing
marijuana into Bermuda. Less
than two grams of the drug was
found on him by narcotics of-
fcers at the islands airport after
he arrived Thursday on a fight
from New York.
Prosecutor Nicole Smith said
Powe, 40, told authorities he
obtained the drugs in California
from a cab driver who gave the
marijuana to him after asking
if he smoked pot. Powe said he
did not realize he had the drugs
with him when he traveled to
Bermuda.
Thats what I call service. You

Archibald Warner said.

Members of the KU greek com-
munity raised more than $3,000
dollars for Habitat for Humanity
during Homecoming weekend.
Alumni, students and members
of the Lawrence community all con-
tributed funds during a silent auc-
tion Saturday at the football game,
held by the student organization
The House That Greeks Built. The
group plans to begin building a
house sometime this November.
This is the closest thing the
greek community has found for
a large fundraiser, said Danae
DeShazer, vice president of com-
munity service and philanthropy
for the Panhellenic Association. Its
been our biggest effort.
In the past, the organization has
built three houses from funds raised
exclusively by the greek commu-
nity, but this year the organization
will combine the $3,000 it raised
with the KU Habitat for Humanitys
fundraising dollars. Deshazer said
that after Hurricane Katrina, the
cost of building materials have
increased, forcing the greek com-
munity to look for help with fund-
raising.
We didnt want to wait long
enough to say this is a house that
greeks built, Deshazer said. We
really need to focus on what were
raising money for: a family in
need.
The House That Greeks Built
organization has raised more than
$30,000 since completing its last
house three years ago. Once funds
have been combined with the KU
Habitat for Humanity chapter, the
groups will begin construction.
Laura Bauer, program director
for fraternity and sorority life, said
that The House that Greeks Built
philanthropy is the largest conglom-
erate of all the KU chapters com-
bined efforts. Bauer said that the
University was one of the first col-
lege campuses to become involved
with the Habitat for Humanity proj-
ect and that it has gained momen-
tum since.
We have 40 fraternities and
sororities, Bauer said. Whether
theyre involved with fundraising
or building, all the chapters get
involved.
The organization also has done
fundraisers for students, like selling
the Our basketball team is better
than yours shirts at the KU book-
stores.

KU Army ROTC awarded four
current students scholarships and
inducted five alumni into the hall of
fame at the second annual alumni
Homecoming celebration Saturday
morning.
Michelle Davis, Lester, Iowa, grad-
uate student, Kris Johnson, Basehor
junior, John Irvine, Leavenworth
sophomore and Abraham Bailin,
Chicago freshman, each received a
$250 scholarship from the Jayhawk
Battalion Alumni Association,
JBAA.
This is one of the primary
functions of our JBAA to support
cadets, said David Pendleton, 1981
graduate and president of JBAA.
Pendleton said the scholarships
were funded by members of the
JBAA. The group funded similar
scholarships last year and would try
to provide four scholarships each
year, Pendleton said.
Davis served in the Army for
eight years as an enlisted soldier
and wanted to enhance her career
opportunities by becoming an offi-
cer.
Its more based off what type of
jobs I wanted to do and what type of
leader I wanted to be, Davis said.
Davis said she was surprised
when she found out she had won the
scholarship because she thought the
senior class had many good cadets
to choose from.
Richard Burke, 1965 gradu-
ate, Stephen Ferrell, 1974 gradu-
ate, William Jenks, 1975 graduate
and Allison Mirakian, 1980 gradu-
ate, received certificates inducting
them into the hall of fame. John
Lungstrum, 1970 graduate, was also
inducted but not present. Induction
is based on military and civilian
career accomplishments.
When I look at these young
cadets right here, I know I picked
the right career because Id trade
places with any one of them, Jenks
said after accepting his certificate.
This is only the second year
alumni have been inducted into
the hall of fame. Six alumni were
inducted last year, including 1967
graduate U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore
(D-Kansas).
Lt. Col. William Maxcy, KU
Army ROTC battalion commander,
said the purpose of the event was to
honor individuals, foster a sense of
tradition and to garner support for
the Jayhawk Battallion.

Homes outfitted to be more efficient, eco-friendly
By Erin CastanEda
Six Douglas County homeown-
ers showed off their energy-saving
devices and strategies Sunday dur-
ing the Douglas County Energy
Conservation Fair and Sustainable
Homes Tour.
Aron Cromwell, CEO of
Cromwell Environmental, and his
wife, Hannah Cromwell, opened
their doors a week ago for 12 elect-
ed officials and candidates to view
their energy-efficient house. The
home, 1616 New Hampshire St.,
was built in 1911, but was recently
refitted with energy-saving technol-
ogy worth $25,000. The amount of
money saved in the end outweighs
the initial cost, he said.
Its not costing me anything, he
said. Its a slam dunk.
When his family moves into the
home in a few weeks, the solar ther-
mal heating system will save them
50 to 60 percent of gas and electric
energy use.
Several other features were
installed such as expandable foam
insulation, new windows and com-
pact fluorescent lights. Four con-
tainers on the roof collect hot water
and pump it downstairs to four 80-
gallon tanks that store the equiv-
alent of two days heated water,
Cromwell said. He also plans to
install solar energy panels soon.
Cromwell said the payback is
instantaneous because he gained
instant equity on the home and sav-
ings on energy bills. For every dol-
lar spent on energy-saving projects,
the property value goes up $20,
he said. The solar thermal heating
project is the most economical and
will last 20 to 30 years, he said.
Cromwell said 90 percent of
homes are capable of being retrofit-
ted with projects like his but recog-
nized everyone is constrained to a
budget. He said the question to ask
is, How much can you cut down
on energy?
Part of his project is a state-
of-the-art Web monitoring system
that measures the energy usage in
his home, allowing him and others
to see how much energy he is actu-
ally saving. Its the only house in the
country right now with the system.
He suggested students look at
the cost of utilities before renting
or buying a home because bills can
be unpredictable on a fixed budget.
Compact fluorescent lights, which
use 66 percent less energy and last
six to 10 times longer, would be a
good investment because they are
less expensive and compatible with
most homes now, he said.
Several of the candidates and
elected officials made comments
after Cromwells tour.
Rep. Barbara Ballard (D-
Lawrence) said students are more
energy conscious than in past years.
Even when renting, students can
insulate their doors and windows
so they arent wasting energy and
money, she said.
She said when students start
looking for a home to own, they
should use solar energy in one
room to see if they are happy with
it before branching out.
Its not a one size fits all, she
said. Everyone can do their part to
save the Earth.

The United States needs to change
its tax system, David Cay Johnston,
Pulitzer Prize winning journal-
ist for the New York Times, told
students Sunday night at Alderson
Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Todays tax system sets up unre-
alistic hurdles, discourages invest-
ment, ships work overseas and
oppresses low income wage earners,
Johnston said.
Johnston has reported on tricks,
loopholes, evasions and flaws of the
federal income tax system in a way
that ordinary citizens can under-
stand, said Raquel Alexander, assis-
tant business professor. Johnston
won the Pulitzer Prize in 2001 for
his reporting on inequities in the
federal income tax system.
Johnston said our tax system
should be based on a progressive
tax. Those who have more should
pay more to the society that allowed
them to achieve what they have,
he said.
Throughout history, Johnston
said that progressive tax has been
the mark of a free society. Societies
that violated the progressive tax sys-
tem have been plagued by dictator-
ships and oppressive rule, Johnston
said.
Johnston said the United States
has not mastered this system.
In January of 1969, newspapers
reported that 155 rich American
families paid no income tax.
Johnston said Congress got more
letters about those rich fami-
lies than it did about the war in
Vietnam.
Since then, politicians have
tried to reduce tax burdens. A tax
reform act passed in 1986 lowered
taxes to 70 percent when John F.
Kennedy was president and 50
percent during Ronald Reagans
term.
However, a progressive tax sys-
tem in which people are taxed
according to their ability to pay
does not fully exist in American
society today, Johnston said.
The state uses taxes to oppress
people, he said.
In 2000, the poor were more
likely to be audited than the rich.
Johnston described the inequality as
squeezing the blood from a turnip.
President Bush has said he is a pro-
ponent of progressive tax, and made
plans to reduce taxes a platform of
his political campaign. However, he
has failed to achieve it.
In America today, if you get
seriously ill, we raise your taxes and
we earmark that money specifically
to finance the tax cuts of the richest
people in America, Johnston said.
People who make half a million
dollars annually pay the same tax
rate as those who make $178 mil-
lion.
Johnston said the IRS reported
collecting 99 percent of data for
wage earners, but only 70 percent of
data for businessmen, landlords and
investors, making it easier for them
to evade the tax system.
Johnston encouraged his audi-
ence to take responsibility.
What kind of tax system we
have will determine what kind of
world we live in, he said. We deter-
mine what kind of tax system we
have by who we elect.

SEOUL, South Korea
North Korea said Sunday it has
performed its first-ever nuclear
weapons test.
U.S. and South Korean offi-
cials could not immediately
confirm the report.
The Norths official Korean
Central News Agency said the
underground test was per-
formed successfully and there
was no radioactive leakage from
the site.
South Korean intelligence
officials said a seismic wave
of magnitude-3.58 had been
detected in North Hamkyung
province, according to Yonhap.
It said the test was conduct-
ed at 8:36 p.m. CST Sunday in
Hwaderi near Kilju city on the
northeast coast, citing defense
officials.
North Korean scientists suc-
cessfully conducted an under-
ground nuclear test under
secure conditions, the KCNA
report said, adding this was a
stirring time when all the people
of the country are making a
great leap forward in the build-
ing of a great prosperous power-
ful socialist nation.
The director of South Koreas
monitoring center that is watch-
ing for a test with sound and
seismic detectors declined to
immediately comment on the
reported test.
We dont know whether it is
a nuclear test or not, an official
at the earthquake center at the
Korea Institute of Geoscience
and Mineral Resources said on
condition of anonymity, citing
the sensitive nature of the issue.
The U.S. Geological Survey
said it had detected no seismic
activity in North Korea, although
it was not clear whether a blast
would be strong enough for its
sensors.
The North said last week it
would conduct a test, spark-
ing regional concern and frantic
diplomatic efforts aimed at dis-
suading Pyongyang from such
a move. North Korea has long
claimed to have nuclear weap-
ons, but had never before per-
formed a known test to prove
its arsenal.

COMMENTARY
LETTER TO THE EDITOR OUR VIEW
University of Kansas students
have the ability to make a huge dif-
ference in the upcoming midterm
elections this November. One of
the most talked about campaigns is
for state attorney general, which pits
incumbent Republican Phill Kline
against Democrat Paul Morrison.
The role of a state attorney gen-
eral is to be the chief of law enforce-
ment for Kansas. Rather than pro-
tecting Kansas citizens, Kline has
spent his time in office pursuing his
narrow personal agenda by attempt-
ing to obtain the private medical
records of women, and he regularly
puts politics before principle.
In a leaked memo to his cam-
paign staff, Kline further demon-
strates his misplaced priorities. In
this embarrassing memo, Kline
shows his desire to mix religion
with politics by using church
appearances to finance his cam-
paign. He displays interest to get
the pastor to invite five money
people whom he knows can help,
and that the goal is to walk away
with contact information, money
and volunteers and a committee in
each church. This dangerous mix
of personal agenda with politics is
exactly what Kansas does not need,
and is why the best candidate for
this position is Paul Morrison.
Morrison has been a prosecutor
for 25 years and district attorney
for the past 15. In that time, he has
demonstrated a focus on priori-
ties and exemplary judgment that
puts him among the best attorneys
in Kansas. Kansans should hope
to elect an attorney general with
plenty of courtroom experience,
and Morrisons pledge is to protect
Kansans without letting his personal
political ideology get in the way.
The successful election of
Morrison is in our hands. In
2002, Kline won by approximately
.5 percent, or 4,300 votes. At the
University, there are about 30,000
potential voters enough to swing
the attorney general election six
times over.
Registering to vote is simple and
can make a great difference. The
numbers of registered young voters
in the state will force candidates to
take students seriously and real-
ize they have a huge stake in their
campaigns.
To be eligible to vote, students
must be registered at their local
address, whether a dorm, an apart-
ment, or other residence. All vot-
ers are also able to sign up for an
advanced ballot, giving them the
ability to vote by receiving and
sending their ballot in by mail and
not having to show up to the polls.
Voter registration is happening at
Wescoe Beach on Mondays through
Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
and the process to get involved with
your government takes less than a
minute. The deadline to register is
Oct. 23, while midterm elections, in
which voters will choose our gover-
nor, attorney general and more, is
on Nov. 7.
No vote is a wasted vote each
vote tells our elected officials who
is getting involved in local politics
and what they are interested to see
happen in Kansas. Morrison has a
positive outlook for the future of
Kansas and will restore a focus on
law enforcement to the attorney
generals office. The choice is ours
University students can make the
difference. Register to vote before
Monday, Oct. 23, vote on Tuesday,
Nov. 7, and make your voice heard.

This letter cannot close open
wounds or heal injured hearts,
but perhaps it can be a start to
such things. As a student at the
University of Nebraska, I want to
apologize on behalf of my school
and our fans for the conduct of
many individuals during and after
last weekends great game between
our two institutions, namely, one
idiotic cartoonist in our student
newspaper and a host of stupid fans
in the north and west stands.
There can be no excuses for
the opinion of Brent Meier in
his Daily Nebraskan cartoon por-
trayal of Eric Washington and
Mark Mangino. There can be no
defense for the fans in the north
and west stands who unthinkably
started the wave during a terrifying
period of injury on the field below.
(However, I would like to point out
that the student section is located at
the direct opposite side of Memorial
Stadium.)
As a lifelong Husker fan, I can
honestly say that I speak for many
in saying that I was appalled at both
instances. Nebraska fans hold a
reputation nation-wide as among
the best in intercollegiate athlet-
ics, and many would say rightfully
so. Last Saturday night was at least
a tragic step backwards in that
national perception.
I am sorry. So many people are
sorry. Please do not believe that
the inconsiderate fans ignorant
enough to start the wave during
Eric Washingtons injury or the
irresponsible satirist Brent Meier
act in the manner that all people
attending that game or attending
this university feel. The conduct
of the fans and Meier alike in those
two instances was reprehensible and
appalling, and I, for one, felt the
need to address the University of
Kansas student body and family in
the form of an apology. It may not
be much, but at least its something.
While the editors of the DN
may continue to defend such an
unthinkable freedom of the press
expression, there comes a point
where people need to realize that
the ethical codes of journalism
do not promote blind insults and
insensitivity just because you can.
Rest assured that as for the rational
minds at this school, in this state,
and all across Husker Nation, Eric
Washington is in our thoughts and
prayers,
The University of Kansas was
and always will remain a tremen-
dously respected opponent and
friend, and we hope to heal together
while brushing aside the opinions
and actions of an ignorant minority
in the Nebraska community.

Imagine having a policy that
dictated the process in selecting
faculty for the last 37 years and
then, while your back is turned,
you return to find a completely
different policy. No one commu-
nicated the change and no one
asked for your opinion.
Thats what graduate students
went through this semester when
Provost Richard Lariviere clari-
fied that a revision to selecting
and finding faculty would not
include graduate students votes.
It is debatable as to whether
graduate students should have a
say in faculty hiring, but whats
not acceptable is the provost not
discussing the matter in a public
forum with graduate students.
Certainly, there are depart-
ments that dont allow graduate
student to provide input, but for
those that did this is just anoth-
er issue that continues to linger
between the University and its
graduate students.
Graduate students have the
right to be upset by the decision.
How would you like a decision
that directly affects you without
your input? Graduate students
went from having a vote in fac-
ulty hiring to being relegated to
having input.
The importance that was once
placed on the votes of graduate
students no longer has merit in
terms of the revised policy.
The provost said graduate stu-
dents should still have input in
faculty hiring. Its just too bad
he didnt feel the same way when
changing the policy.
University officials have
already demonstrated their lack
of respect for graduate students
and graduate teaching assistants.
The recent policy, coupled with
the ongoing negotiations with
the Graduate Teaching Assistants
Coalition, have shown little
respect for graduate students.
This move will definitely
require some public relations
strategy because it wasnt the
brightest move. A word of advice
as you continue to move forward
in the school year: Include stu-
dents in your decision making
when they revolve around the
issue.

GUEST COMMENTARY The easily offended can rejoice:
Americas comics pages are safe,
white and bland again.
The Boondocks, the Aaron
McGruder comic staring the angry,
black radical Huey, is unlikely to
return in the foreseeable future,
according to a news release from
Universal Press Syndicate. UPS has
distributed the comic since 1999.
For six months, Ive been looking
forward to new Boondocks strips.
McGruder took a hiatus in March.
New strips should have come in
by mid-September, but repeated
attempts to confirm a start date
with McGruder failed, according to
the release.
With little hope left of seeing
Huey, Riley and Granddad back, we
can return to being entertained by
Garfield pushing Odie off tables,
teen angst, cute babies and, of
course, Snoopy.
Dont even get me started on
Peanuts. I loved Snoopy and the
gang, but Charles Schultz is gone.
Give somebody with a pulse a
chance.
The loss of McGruder from
Americas comics pages cant be
overstated. He provided perspective,
content and characters unlike any
other comic strip. Its not just that
he brought minority charcters to
the traditionally white comics page.
He cut through so much of the crap
that inundates us everyday.
Boondocks was known for its
heavy criticism of the Bush admin-
istration, but also regularly com-
mented on black celebrities, pop
culture, Internet trends and inter-
racial relationships.
Not familiar with Boondocks?
Hueys declaration upon learning
he is attending J. Edgar Hoover
Elementary School sums up much
of the attitude of the strip: Public
educational facilities such as this
are the cornerstone of the institu-
tionalized racism that continues to
oppress black people. Not only will
I refuse to succumb to your brain-
washing I will dedicate myself
to the eventual elimination of this
abomination to the high pursuit
of learning, Huey tells his new
teacher.
No one else is going to replace
that kind of attitude.
Bloggers have pointed out that
fans still have the Boondocks car-
toon on Cartoon Network. The
show will return for its second sea-
son in the Adult Swim lineup.
Sure, the characters survive, but
McGruders creation is restricted
to the teens, college kids and other
twenty-somethings targeted by
Adult Swim.
By withdrawing from print,
McGruder loses the chance to
preach to millions who otherwise
are unlikely to see the show. Those
who are most likely to be offended
are now safely shielded from con-
trary opinion.
Besides, television has other
programs with biting political and
social commentary. I can tune in
The Daily Show for that. If I want
angry children, I can go find South
Park or Stewie from Family Guy.
No comic in print has the edge of
Boondocks.
No one publicly seems to know
what is up with McGruder. The
daily grind of a comic strip could
have burned him out. He could be
bored with the strip. He might just
like television more.
Even though Im angry the strip
isnt returning, I cant fault him for
wanting to move on. Too many
comics hold on for years after they
turn into stale, formulaic shad-
ows of their former brilliance. No
fan wants to see that happen to
Boondocks. Better to keep it real,
as Riley would say.
Maybe withdrawing from print
will give him the energy and time
needed for new creations. I hope so.

Mangino and Perkins discussed the
need for better facilities. Perkins
went to work immediately with his
constant fundraising efforts.
This is something that weve
been talking about for years and
years and years and nobody was
able to get it done, Perkins said.
We just made it a high priority
and got it done in what I would
consider a very short time.
The man who finally turned the
idea into a reality was Tulsa busi-
nessman, Tom Kivisto, a former
KU basketball player. John Hadl,
associate athletics director, went to
Kivisto 10 months ago and asked
him to join Dana Anderson, whose
family the facility will be named
after, as a major donor to fund the
facility.
For his contribution, Hadl sug-
gested that Kansas could name the
football field in Memorial Stadium
Kivisto Field. The field was dedi-
cated during Saturdays game.
It was kind of an incentive to
move some numbers in a very seri-
ous way, Kivisto said.
After Kivisto visited campus and
saw the need for better facilities
for the football program and more
office space for non-revenue sports
such as tennis, which he coached
at Kansas when he was in graduate
school he was sold.
The fact that the program
has done so well with such non-
competitive facilities in the Big 12
is so impressive and I tell coach
Mangino this all the time, Kivisto
said. And I think that Lew Perkins
was brought here to help really
turn around facilities in the football
program.
Construction on the new facility
and new practice fields will begin in
early 2007. Completion of the facil-
ity is expected in July 2008.
As the Kivistos, Andersons,
Perkins and Mangino took the first
ceremonial digs Friday, talk sur-
rounded the future and what the
new facility will do for the foot-
ball program and Kansas athletics.
Perkins said its going to give the
program a competitive edge that
Kansas has never had before and
help in recruiting.
Anderson hoped the facility
would aid in the recruiting process
as well.
Id like to congratulate and
thank coach Mangino, Anderson
said. We are giving him the tools
so he can be competitive in the Big
12 and nationally. Im convinced
that by doing this we will see the
dawn of a new era in Kansas foot-
ball and Kansas Athletics.
Mangino agreed that the facility
would somewhat help with recruit-
ing.
I dont know if recruiting ever
gets easier but at least it gives you
a chance to compete with the facili-
ties of many of the Big 12 schools,
Mangino said.

The week of Homecom-

with the announcement
that Sigma Alpha Epsilon

and the Black Student Union
organization won in their
respective categories.
The Homecoming win-

The three groups won the
most points by participating
in the greatest number of
events, showing creativity

This year marked a change
in the Homecoming points
system. Student organiza-
tions and greek organiza-
tions this year were judged
separately on the 15 events
through the week.
Megan Easter, Perry, Okla.,

the most obvious reason why

because it was harder for students

Burduli said he wanted to study

it had good political science and

texas A&Mquarterback stephen McGee tries to get past Darrell Stuckey, freshman defensive back, for a two-point conversion at the start of the fourth quarter on Saturdays game. The Aggies beat the Jayhawks 21-18, scoring the winning touch-
down with 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter. This is the third game in a rowthe Jayhawks have lost by single digits.
texas a&m 21 kansas 18
Its aggravating to lose close
games the way the Kansas has.
Whats even more aggravating is
not knowing whats wrong.
Saturdays 21-18 loss to Texas
A&M was the third time this sea-
son the Jayhawks have led in the
fourth quarter and lost the game.
Add in a near meltdown against
Louisiana-Monroe, and it becomes
obvious that nail-biters have been
the norm rather than the excep-
tion for the Jayhawks this season.
If you lose tough games, it
should make you angrier, and
stronger, and make you want to
pursue excellence, coach Mark
Mangino said. Theres a sense of
urgency, because you want to win
so bad.
I asked Mangino if he thought
that sense of urgency was missing
this year. He responded with a
question.
What did you think?
Well, coach, since you asked...
Kansas becomes a different
team in the final minutes of these
close games. Instead of forcing
short gains and a running clock,
its almost a certainty that the
Jayhawks will give up a big play.
For example:
Nebraskas 75-yard pass
from Zac Taylor to Frantz Hardy
to take the lead late in the game
Louisiana-Monroe complet-
ing 28- and 33-yard passes on its
final drive
Toledo returning a Kerry
Meier interception 84 yards for a
touchdown
Texas A&Ms 35-yard gain
that put the winning touchdown
within reach
Take away these plays, and the
Jayhawks are 6-0 and fighting for
the Big 12 North title.
With them, the Jayhawks are
simply another 3-3 team scrap-
ping for their postseason lives.
Winnable games are right around
the corner, but first Kansas has to
learn how to play four quarters of
football.
The problems arent new ones.
Kansas found a way into the Fort
Worth Bowl without an offense.
After discounting punter Kyle
Tucker, whose average pass was
longer than his average punt, the
Jayhawk offense once again relied
on the Jayhawk defense Saturday
to hand them field position on a
silver platter. Not that it mattered:
The Jayhawks twice left the red
zone with a field goal.
Its not fun to have to put so
much pressure on the defense
to perform, running back Jon
Cornish said.
Its also not fun to leave
Memorial Stadium with no new
answers.
Mangino is currently 3-8 in
games decided by less than six
points during his five-year career
at Kansas.
As it is, the Jayhawks can run
up the score as much as they want
in the first half. It wont matter.
Opponents wont ever be scared as
long as they know they can come
back and steal the victory in the
games final minutes.
And thats aggravating.

Jayhawks should be favored
to win the nov. 18 installment
of the sunfower showdown in
Lawrence.

Early lead slips away in fourth quarter
By RyAn schnEidER
It was supposed to be the day
when Kansas made the leap from
mediocrity to legitimate North
division contender.
Saturdays game was an oppor-
tunity for Kansas to get a state-
ment victory against a vulnerable
Texas A&M team that was reeling
from a last-second loss the week
before.
The Jayhawks appeared to be
headed for their 10th-straight
home victory and an upset against
the favored Aggies before a shock-
ing fourth-quarter collapse.
Kansas led 18-7 entering the
final frame, but crumbled down
the stretch in the 21-18 loss to
Texas A&M.
How many games are we going
to have like this? senior running
back Jon Cornish said. At this
point, were used to playing in
games like this. Its something we
have to remedy, because its not
fun.
Because of its poor play in close
games, Kansas now sits at 0-3 in
games decided by single digits
this season and 6-11 under coach
Mark Mangino. But even more
troublesome is the 0-2 hole the
team has dug itself in the Big 12
Conference. The team needs to
play .500 the rest of the way just
to make a bowl game.
The Jayhawks had opportuni-
ties all afternoon to put the Aggies
away. Yet the offense, which put up
nearly 600 yards against Nebraska
last week, bumbled and stum-
bled its way across the Memorial
Stadium turf for most of the day
for 288 yards. Kansas had four
drives inside Texas A&M territory
and another four that ended near
midfield. Despite the good field
position, Kansas could muster
only its second-lowest point total
of the season.
We did have a lot of chanc-
es with a lot of good field posi-
tion, senior quarterback Adam
Barmann said. For some reason,
whatever it was, we couldnt con-
vert it into points and that hurt us
in the long run.
Barmann, who played well in
his first two starts in place of
freshman Kerry Meier, had one
of the worst outings of his career.
He was 13-of-31 passing for just
127 yards. Barmann had thrown
for at least 270 yards in his last
two starts. Until midway through
the second quarter, junior punter
Kyle Tucker, who converted a 48-
yard pass on a trick play, was the
Jayhawks leading passer.
I never felt like we were in
sync on offense, Mangino said.
We just werent sharp.

Kansas loses in close game with Texas A&M
Single-goal games highlight long weekend against Longhorns, No. 8 Aggies
By mARk dEnt
The Jayhawks didnt look like they
had just played their best game of the
season as they walked off the field
Sunday.
Not one player said a word as
they slowly filed to the bench to col-
lect their equipment. Blank stares
graced each players face as Kansas
coach Mark Francis complimented
their efforts.
Kansas (7-6, 2-3) lost a 1-0 heart-
breaker to No. 8 Texas A&M in over-
time Sunday, creating the morgue-
like atmosphere on the sidelines.
The game ended in a loss for the
Jayhawks, even though Francis said
they had played better than they had
all year.
We played very well, Francis
said. You can do almost everything
right and still lose. I think that was
the case today.
The loss to first-place Texas A&M
wouldnt have been as disappoint-
ing if Kansas would have played
better against Texas on Friday. The
Jayhawks only lost to the Longhorns
1-0, but Francis was not pleased with
his teams effort. He let the players
know about it by challenging them in
a long speech after the game.
Our heart was piss poor in the
second half, Francis said Friday. We
showed absolutely no heart in the
second half; thats just not accept-
able.
Francis speech worked wonders
for the Jayhawks Sunday. Take away
the first 30 minutes and last four
minutes of the game and Kansas did
everything right.

The Kansas volleyball team
extended its losing streak to five
matches with its loss Saturday at
Oklahoma.
The Sooners swept the Jayhawks,
30-21, 30-24 and 32-30 in the
Howard McCasland Field House in
Norman, Okla.
We got off to a slow start, which
is a little disappointing, Kansas
coach Ray Bechard said. Oklahoma
is playing extremely well; they are
a team playing with complete con-
fidence.
With the loss, the Jayhawks
are under .500 for the first time
this season, 8-9 overall with a 1-7
Big 12 Conference record. No. 25
Oklahoma moved to 14-3 and 6-1
on the season.
The Sooners were led by outside
hitter Bridget Laplante who had a
match-high 15 kills.
Despite the loss, senior out-
side hitter Jana Correa notched
her 1,000th kill of her career. In
game three, with Kansas up 28-26,
Correa became the ninth player in
the schools history to reach the
milestone.
For somebody to go through two
complete reconstructions of each
knee, and still have the fortitude and
courage to reach that mark, its just
a testament to her, Bechard said. It
really is pretty remarkable.
Correa has gone through two
season-ending injuries in her four
years at Kansas. She tore her ACL
in her right knee her freshman year
and tore her ACL in her left knee
last year.
Correa led the Jayhawks with a
team-high 14 kills on .216 hitting
efficiency. It was her 14th match this
season with 14 or more kills.
With the slow start, Bechard said
he told his team just to extend the
match.
In game three we played much
better, he said. But we made some
decisions in the end that werent
aggressive enough.
Emily Brown, junior right-side
hitter, tallied her seventh double-
double with 13 kills and 15 digs.
The Kansas offense struggled all
night committing 25 hitting errors.
Kansas hitting percentage was just
.164 compared to Oklahomas .305.
Oklahoma middle blocker Eliane
Santos helped the Sooners shut
down the Kansas offense with three
solo blocks and five assisted blocks.
Santos, a preseason All-Big 12 selec-
tion, also had nine kills on .353 hit-
ting efficiency.
With five straight losses, Bechard
said his team needs to find a way to
get back on track.
Just have an overall confidence
that we can be a good defensive
team and hit for a pretty high effi-
ciency, he said. I challenged them
after the match, instead of thinking
about what a certain teammate may
or may not do, what are you going
to do.
Kansas returns home Wednesday
to take on in-state rival Kansas
State (8-9, 0-7) at the Horejsi
Family Athletics Center Wednesday.
Admission is free for students with
a valid KUID.

Kansas must win

at least half of its
remaining six games
to be eligible for
a bowl. Are the
Jayhawks postseason
hopes up or down?
Kansas has
been inconsistent
throughout the
2006 season, but
one thing is still certain: Mark
Manginos team will qualify for a
bowl for the second straight year.
Thanks to the generally weak
state of the Big 12, the Jayhawks
have three very winnable games
left on their slate. Put simply,
Kansas State, Oklahoma State
and Colorado do not possess the
frepower to leave Lawrence vic-
torious.
Asher Fusco
Unfortunately
for Kansas, be-
ing competitive
doesnt get you
into a bowl game. It looks like the
Jayhawks need to blow someone
out to get another victory, be-
cause they havent proven able
to pull out a close game.
Kyle Carter
Last year at
this point, the
Jayhawks looked
worse than
they do now, and the remain-
ing schedule was more difcult.
Somehow, they pulled it together
and qualifed for the Fort Worth
Bowl. With three home games
remaining against teams worse
than Texas A&M, the Jayhawks
should be bowling again.
Jack Connor
Coming of
an encouraging
overtime loss in
Lincoln a week ago, hopes were
high for the rest of the season.
After Saturdays loss, however,
any dreams of contending for the
Big 12 North are likely gone. The
Jayhawks will still make a bowl
game, but it will be a lower-level
game similar to last years Fort
Worth Bowl.
Kayvon Sarraf
Although re-
maining opti-
mistic about the
Jayhawks often
seems formidable, the team still
has a good chance to become
bowl-eligible. As the Big 12
schedule lightens up, winning all
the remaining home games and
stealing one on the road is real-
istic. It is disappointing to think
what Kansas could have achieved
if it hadnt lost three close games,
but Mangino must fnd a way to
win the games in which the team
is favored.

For three quarters, the Texas
A&M offense played like it wanted
to lose, but it played to win in the
fourth quarter.
Although nothing seemed to work
for Texas A&M early on offense,
running back Jorvorskie Lane said
the team refused to give up on the
game plan.
We ran the same plays that we
ran in the first half in the second
half, Lane said. Its all about execu-
tion.
Texas A&Mtrailed Kansas by only
11 points at the start of the fourth
quarter, but the Aggies had been
making too many mental mistakes
to make a comeback seem possible.
Their offense had strung together
only two drives of more than 60
yards in the first three quarters.
The first ended in a touchdown;
the second resulted in a fumble.
However, the Aggie offense was in
the midst of an 80-yard drive when
the fourth quarter began, showing
signs that it was finally ready to
compliment its defense. Then quar-
terback Stephen McGee dove inside
the pylon for a touchdown on the
first play of the quarter and a victory
was suddenly within reach.
The Texas A&M defense was the
only reason the Aggies were still
in the game at that point. Kansas
reached the red zone on four occa-
sions, but only once did it reach the
end zone. Texas A&M senior line-
backer Justin Warren said holding
Kansas to field goals on the other
three occasions was a huge boost to
the team.
We were getting into some bad
predicaments, Warren said. They
were marching down there, maybe
getting one or two big plays, but after
that we were pretty much shutting
them down.
To complete the comeback, Texas
A&M had to avoid making the mis-
takes that had plagued it for most of
the game. In the first three quarters,
the Aggies had eight penalties for
41 yards and as many turnovers
as touchdowns one. In the last
quarter, Texas A&Mresponded with
two touchdowns, no turnovers and
no penalties.
Lane said while the offense was
struggling, he expected the defense
to lose patience with them. Instead,
to his surprise, he said every time
the defense came off the field, it
encouraged the offense to put a drive
together.
The offense came out strong in
the fourth quarter, running 24 plays
for 91 yards including 86 passing
yards and eating up nine minutes
of clock.
We knew that offense was los-
ing the game, Lane said. We came
together as a whole offensive unit
and did what we had to do to beat
KU.
The offense benefited from better
field position in the final stanza. For
the first three quarters, the Aggies
average starting position for drives
was the 18-yard line. In the fourth
quarter, their average starting spot
was the 36-yard line.
With the offense finally showing
signs of life, the Texas A&Mdefense
kept doing its part to give the offense
one last shot.
With 4:59 to go in the game,
Kansas had the ball on its own 35-
yard line. One first down could have
allowed Kansas to run the clock
down considerably, but Texas A&M
forced a three-and-out.
Texas A&M coach Dennis
Franchione said his defense was able
to stop Kansas on third-and-one
that drive because of a perfect play
call fromdefensive coordinator Gary
Darnell.
He had a great feeling for what
they were going to do in that situa-
tion, Franchione said. We blitzed
on that down and the guys got great
penetration and got into the back-
field. They never had a chance to get
it going.
The Texas A&M offense repaid
the defenses favor, going 80 yards for
the game-winning score and capping
off the improbable comeback.
Although the Aggies could have
assumed control of the game earlier,
Warren said he saw the game as a
positive because the defense kept
the game close and the offense came
through in the end.
I just told them, this might not
have been a top 25 team or a high
opponent on our list, but it builds us
up as a team, Warren said.

had a third-and-one and the oppor-
tunity to get four more plays.
Mangino, though, was uncomfort-
able doing anything but giving the
ball to Cornish. Kansas running
back got the call and tried to plow
his way through the middle of the
offensive line.
No luck. Texas A&Ms defense was
right there to stop Cornish well short
of the first down.
The Jayhawks punted the ball back
to the Aggies, who drove down the
field and scored the game-winning
touchdown with less than 35 seconds
left to play.
Kansas lead vanished, and along
with it went the teams nine-game
home winning streak.
Mangino said fear of a turnover
by Barmann on that play forced him
into a conservative play call on the
third and one.
We havent taken care of the ball
at the quarterback position, so we
didnt want to take a chance, he
said.
With just six games left, includ-
ing five against teams with winning
records, the Jayhawks have no time
to mope about their missed chances
in close games this season.
This team is too good to let us
get this down, Cornish said. This
team will bounce back even if
we lose 70-0 like we did last year
against Texas. We came back and won
against Iowa State and went to a bowl.
Remember? We still have a whole
season ahead of us. Well be fine.
Football Notes:
Injuries piling up
Mangino isnt one for making
excuses, but he hinted that inju-
ries left his team unprepared for
Saturdays game. Mangino said at
least four to five offensive starters
missed significant practice time last
week because of undisclosed injuries.
Sophomore wide receiver Marcus
Herford appeared to be one those
injured players: he watched most of
the game from the sideline. Cornish
also confirmed that he played hurt.
Stuckey returns
Freshman defensive back Darrell
Stuckey made his first appearance of
the season. Stuckey had sat out the
first five games with an undisclosed
injury.

admitted late last week for what
a source called precautionary
reasons.
St. Lukes Hospital staf con-
frmed Saturday morning that
Washington had been released,
but were not able to say when.
After Saturdays game against
Texas A&M, Kansas coach Mark
ManginosaidWashingtonwould
visit a head and neck sports in-
jury specialist in Oklahoma.
Hes doing pretty good, he
said. Hes doing much, much
better.
Washington sufered a con-
cussion and temporary paralysis
after a hit in last weeks game at
Nebraska. The senior linebacker
was taken of the feld on a
stretcher and regained feeling
in his extremities on the drive
to the hospital. He was kept at a
Lincoln-area hospital until Mon-
day of last week for observation.

10 is the easiest day, 0 the most
challenging.
aries (march 21-april 19)
Today is a 9
Its not really natural for you
to keep secrets, but you can if
you must. You pride yourself on
learning to do difcult things, so
stick to it. And dont drink adult
beverages, either; that would be
counter-productive.
Taurus (april 20-may 20)
Today is a 7
Others look to you for moral
support and leadership. Your
good sense is not very common
anymore, its quite rare. Dispense
it freely.
gemiNi (may 21-June 21)
Today is an 8
Even suspecting there might be
problems, you need to proceed.
Make sure you have an exit strat-
egy already prepared, just in case.
caNcer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 7
Make sure whatever you build or
buy will last. You dont have the
time or energy to do it over again.
Or the money.
Leo (July 23-aug. 22)
Today is a 6
Everybodys not as forthright and
honest as you are, as you may
have noticed. Trust, but verify.
Virgo (aug. 23-sept. 22)
Today is a 6
Let the dishes sit in the sink for a
little while longer. You need time
to think, and dream, and then start
making lists.
Libra (sept. 23-oct. 22)
Today is an 8
Do you know how to make savings
grow? If not, get a book on it and
start reading. You can learn.
scorpio (oct. 23-Nov. 21
Today is a 6
Youre the one who can fgure out
the possible consequences. Dont
be sidetracked by a dreamer who
doesnt have a clue.
sagiTTarius (Nov. 22-dec. 21)
Today is a 6
Familiar routines are best for a
while, as often as you can manage.
Minimize the items you have to
think about; do as much as you
can by rote.
capricorN (dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is an 8
Work together and you can have
everything you really need. Cut
back on all that other stuf for a
while. Youll live.

Your job now is to keep the overall
objective in mind. Hopefully, there
is one. If not, come up with one,
fast.
pisces (Feb. 19-march 20)

The more you read, the more you

worry is difcult to dislodge, but
you can let it go. Youve outgrown
it.

Andre Agassi ofers tennis
lesson to rackets bidder
LAS VEGAS Andre Agassi
almost lost a grip on two special
rackets at a beneft auction before
his wife, Stef Graf, bought them
for $360,000.
In the live auction before Agas-
sis 11th Grand Slam for Children
on Saturday at the MGM Grand
Garden Arena, the tennis star
was almost ready to donate the
racket with which he won his frst
professional match, and the racket
he used in his fnal U.S. Open just
weeks ago.
Bidding topped $320,000
before Graf, one of the most cel-
ebrated players in womens tennis,
intervened.
Those rackets are supposed to
stay with us, she said after making
the fnal bid.
Agassi ofered the next highest
bidder a free tennis lesson.
Its all crazy money, so thank
you, he said from the stage.
In all, $8.6 million was raised at
the beneft for underprivileged,
abused and at-risk children in Las
Vegas, Agassis hometown. Agassi
called it an amazing night in an
amazing year.

Actor endorses candidate,
stem-cell vote in Missouri
MAPLEWOOD, Mo. Michael J.
Fox headlined a campaign fundrais-
er for Democratic Senate candidate
Claire McCaskill, but his message
was broader than one Senate race.
Contrary to what (former House
Speaker) Tip ONeil said, politics is
not local, Fox told McCaskill sup-
porters Thursday at a restaurant in
this St. Louis suburb. What hap-
pens here does afect my three girls,
my son, my wife and me, and the
100 million Americans living with
a disease that could be helped by
stem cell research.
The actor, who has Parkinsons
disease, is a strong advocate of em-
bryonic stem cell research. McCaskill
has made support for the research a
key part of her campaign to unseat
Republican Sen. Jim Talent.
Talent opposes the research as
unethical, saying it destroys human
embryos.
Missouri voters will consider a
ballot initiative in November that
would ensure all federally allowed
embryonic stem cell research could
occur in Missouri. The Michael J.
Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Re-
search, now the largest funder of
Parkinsons research outside the
federal government, supports the
initiative.
Fox, who trembled as he spoke,
said the disease has diminished
some choices in his life. But if I take
time to live with that loss, theres
no vacuum. Its flled with opportu-
nity.
Id love to have a cure, but theres
a lot of life in the fght, he said.

Standing by the side of the pool,
Kansas swimming coach Clark
Campbell was shouting encourage-
ment to both teams.
The Jayhawks kicked off their
season with the annual intrasquad
meet, held at the Robinson Center
on Friday afternoon. Campbell said
he was pleased with the perfor-
mance, adding that the team was
just getting warmed up for the sea-
son.
If I had to grade the team today,
I would give them a B. We had
some really good performances
and we built a good foundation,
Campbell said. Our goal is to peak
in February so if we are at a B level
now, we are good to go. This is one
step in a long process and I feel like
our girls did a great job.
The intrasquad meet typically
features the team split into two
different squads, pinning the team
against each other for one day.
However, at least five swimmers
had to miss the meet for personal
reasons, so the two squads were
forced to combine into one team.
This ongoing tradition proves to
be an important stepping stone for
the team.
It starts off the year in a non-
pressure situation. This is the first
time the team has swam together
since July, so it is very vital to our
success, Campbell said.
Senior captain Jenny Short had
a solid performance on Friday, tak-
ing first in the 100-yard backstroke,
as she looked to lead the Jayhawks
throughout the season. Freshman
Maria Mayrovich, sophomore
Danielle Herrmann and junior
Lauren Bonfe had impressive per-
formances as well in the 50- and
100-yard freestyle, backstroke and
butterfly events.
We looked very strong today,
Short said. We had some great
swims for the beginning of the year
and we will continue to improve.
Along with the two senior cap-
tains, the other being Lisa Tilson,
22 returning letter winners and 12
incoming freshmen complete the
roster.
The success of the team will
depend greatly on the 12 fresh-
men swimmers, who replace a
strong senior class from last season.
The freshmen came from around
the world, from Singapore to San
Diego, Calif.
We had the chance to view the
incoming freshmen and for them
to gain some experience, Tilson
said. About half of our team are
freshmen so it is somewhat scary
for the upperclassmen, but today
they stepped up in a big way, as I
am positive they will throughout
the season.
The Jayhawks continue their sea-
son this weekend as they travel to
Nebraska for the Big 12 Relays on
Friday. This meet could be a crucial
meet as the team finished perfect in
the Big 12 last year during its 2005-
06 campaign.
This looks to be a great sea-
son, Tilson said. We are excited
to see where our team will lead us
throughout the year.

Texas A&M took control of the
game early in the first half. The
Aggies had the ball on the offen-
sive end for nearly the entire half
and attempted eight shots. The sec-
ond half was nearly the opposite.
The Jayhawks possessed the ball for
almost the entire half. The offense,
which produced only three shots in
the first half, erupted for 12 second-
half shots.
Our offense did really well today,
sophomore midfielder Kristin Graves
said. You can get good chances, but
it just depends if you finish them
or not.
Kansas did not. Graves was one
of nine players with a shot dur-
ing the game and was part of one
the Jayhawks best chances to score.
In the 76th minute, Graves crossed
the ball to senior forward Jessica
Kilpatrick, who was standing behind
the defense a few feet in front of the
goal. Kilpatricks one-timer off her
head curved slightly wide of the goal.
Kilpatricks shot on goal was one of
seven for the Jayhawks.
Texas A&M, unlike Kansas,
played as if it had to pay a toll to
cross midfield in the second half.
The Aggies rarely passed the midline
and attempted just three second-
half shots. Kansas defense held Texas
A&M to 13 shots, 10 less than its
season average.
We did pretty good and got a lot
of help from the forwards, junior
defender Afton Sauer said. It was a
team effort.
The second half ended with sev-
eral close calls in the last 10 minutes,
but none of Kansas attempts found
the back of the net. The Jayhawks
entered the overtime period with all
the momentum, but they didnt end
the game they way they wanted.
Aggie midfielder Amy Berend
capitalized on one of the few Kansas
mistakes on defense and dribbled
past the defenders rushing at her.
Berend took a wide-open shot from
the top of the box that bent perfectly
into the left corner of the net in the
94th minute.
They got a good shot off before
we did, Graves said. It sucks to
come off on the other end especially
when you feel like you played really
well, but thats just the game.
