Patrol checks drivers’ levels
Checkpoints aim to thwart drunken driving
By sTeve Lynn

Kansan staff writer

Max Hire wasn’t sober when he saw the checkpoint ahead on Kentucky Street. He made a U-turn on a one-way street to avoid it. A police officer immediately pulled him over on 19th Street at 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 3. Hire, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, was one of four people charged with driving while intoxicated last Friday and Saturday night at a checkpoint on the 1800 block of Kentucky Street. “I was a little bit over the limit,” Hire said. If students drink and drive this weekend, they should expect their chances of getting caught to increase. Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said the department will conduct a checkpoint and saturation patrol tonight, similar to the checkpoint and saturation patrol police conducted last Friday and Saturday, said. The checkpoint will be set up at a different location than the one conducted

on the 1800 block of Kentucky Street between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. last Friday and Saturday, Ward said. Federal law requires the department to conduct a number of checkpoints because the city received $2.2 million in federal funds for the traffic unit, Ward said. The department has completed more checkpoints than required, he said. The entire traffic unit, which consists of seven vehicles, six officers and one sergeant, will conduct a saturation patrol in Lawrence tonight, Ward said. Last week, the traffic unit patrolled from 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday. The saturation patrol made 26 stops and gave out 10 speeding tickets, nine moving violations and one seat belt violation, Ward said. The checkpoint yielded four DWIs, one drug possession and six minors-in-possession. “It’s quite labor-intensive,” Ward said of the checkpoint. “We have charge vehicles that apprehend people who try to avoid it.” Hire won’t be able to avoid the expense and inconvenience of a DWI. He said he would have to get a job to pay for an attorney, $500 for the bond to leave jail and court costs. He also said trips to see his family in Kansas City would be more difficult without a car. “Nothing’s been as fun. At the game the next day, all I could think about was the DWI,” Hire said. — Edited by Patrick Ross

Sororities ensure safeplace phone calls from stadium rides home Members

Getting home safe after parking next to Memorial Stadium late at night is only a phone call away for sororities located along West Campus Road. Sigma Kappa, Gamma Phi Beta and Chi Omega have instituted a system that allows members to call on other members to provide a ride back when they are unable to find a spot near their house. Members see the system as a way to prevent incidents like the one that occurred on Tuesday Aug. 30, when a female student was robbed near Memorial Stadium and 11th Street. “We have made it clear that no one

should walk from the stadium by themselves,” said Valerie Hooper, Hutchinson junior and president of Gamma Phi Beta. Sigma Kappa, 1325 West Campus Road, uses a community cell phone plan called Safe Sigma that women can call at any time. Each day a member signs up to take calls and provide rides to any members parking in the stadium lot. Amanda Zimmerschied, Lawrence sophomore and member of Sigma Kappa, uses the Safe Sigma system two to three times during the week. “It makes me feel so much more safe knowing I will have a safe ride back to the house,” she said.

Berendsen said LMH wanted to increase square footage of the wing by up to 50 percent. Berendsen said the surgical facility would be enhanced, because the current facility was 20 years old, out of date and not prepared to meet the demand to potential changes in technology.

A group of University of Kansas graduate students is organizing an event to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Sept. 11. The event, called the September Project, will feature panel discussions and the showing of the movie, “A Day Without a Mexican.” It will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 11, at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. “This is a positive event for

the city of Lawrence,” said Shannon Portillo, Shawnee graduate student and one of the organizers of the event. The September Project, which was started by a library at Washington State University, encourages libraries worldwide to sponsor events concerning freedom and democracy on or around Sept. 11. The University of Kansas hosted the Project last year, which was the first year Lawrence participated in the event. “We’re pretty excited,” said Michael Sweeney, Overland

Park graduate student and an event organizer. “We’ve been able to expand quite a bit.” Portillo said the event was moved to the public library this year to include members of the Lawrence community. Maria Butler, community relations coordinator for the Lawrence Public Library, said she had heard quite a bit of interest about it from the library patrons. Portillo said about 50 students attended the event last year. This year, the organizers hope to triple that number, Portillo said. “This will blend students with the community and get the community involved,” Portillo said.

The panel discussions will feature religion, the ways people interact with their communities, international perspectives and civil rights and immigration. Experts on the respective topics will open the discussions. Five international students from the University who represent five different continents will lead the discussion involving the international perspectives. The film “A Day Without a Mexican” will precede a discussion about civil rights and immigration. “There’s a good variety of interesting topics,” Butler said. — Edited by Patrick Ross

Chris Polk/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ellen DeGeneres welcomes her aunt, Helen Currie, of Pass Christian, Miss., during a taping of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Currie lost her home and everything she owned to Hurricane Katrina. said Brandon Macneill, associate athletics director. “But we’d like for them to have better seats than that. ” Macneill said that while some on the east side of the stadium may not be able to hear the band clearly, that number would be lower than those who could not hear the band last season. Broadcasting the band through the speaker system at the stadium was not an option because of a time delay, Hudson said. Hudson said the new seats in the north bowl served as a more practical location for the band. The new seats allowed the band to move quickly from their seats because they now have two sections to exit for halftime. The band now sits in sections 32 and 33. Hudson also dismissed the rumor that the full band was not present at the Florida Atlantic game.

Band position not likely to change
Fans on the east side of Memorial Stadium unable to hear the marching band at the Florida Atlantic game may have difficulty hearing the band all season. Band and athletics department officials said there were no simple solutions to the problem of fans hearing the marching band at football games. “Short of micing and separate speakers, there’s not a whole lot that can be done, ”

campUs

said James Hudson, marching band director. A report done by the athletics department said the bowl was the best place for the band in terms of acoustics, Hudson said. While fans on the east side of Memorial Stadium had difficulty hearing the band, Hudson said he heard from fans on the west side who said that they could hear the band clearly. Those seated on the west side said that they had difficulty hearing the band last year, when they were seated near midfield. “In a perfect world, they’d be in the center of the bowl, ”

Stadium gates open only to students
Gates 29 and 30 at Memorial Stadium will be designated for student entrance only starting this weekend, At those gates, there will be

eight entrances for students compared with the six entrances open last weekend. There will also be extra staff on hand to expedite students’ entrance into the stadium, said Brandon Macneill, associate athletics director. Numerous students said they waited in long lines to enter the stadium before the Florida Atlantic game. It was the first game for the new student seating near the north bowl. Last weekend, both students and reserved-seat ticket holders were allowed to use the same entrances. “We acknowledge there

was some first game jitters, growing pains, Macneill said. ” “We hope that we have the solution. ” Despite the additional entrances, Macneill encouraged students to enter the stadium as early as possible to help avoid lines. Student seating at football games was shifted before the season to separate the visiting and student sections, which were next to each other in previous seasons. The student entrance was also moved from numerous gates at the southeast corner to entrances in the north bowl.

retraction and clarification
F An article in Wednesday’s University Daily Kansan was incorrect. OnTuesday, Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department told the Kansan that Michael C. Zotti was a suspect in a case of persons impersonating police officers. Ward said yesterday that one suspect, whom he identified as Jason D. Warble, had given the Zotti name when he was arrested. Ward said later that Warble identified himself correctly. Michael C. Zotti was not involved in any way.The Kansan regrets this error.The District Attorney’s Office has identified Warble as having been charged with false impersonation, robbery and obstruction — in this case, providing an incorrect name. Douglas County Jail records show a second suspect in the case, identified as Ryan M. Cunningham, charged with robbery and false impersonation. Cunningham’s case remains under review, the district attorney’s office said.

Douglas county not needed for refuge
Planning to take in Hurricane Katrina evacuees in Douglas County has been suspended by the state of Kansas. An official planning meeting yesterday at 8:30 a.m. was held to inform agencies involved about procedures that would have been taken if Douglas County was needed. Evacuees would have stayed at Robinson Gymnasium. Paula Phillips, director of Douglas County Emergency Management, was in the middle of her presentation at the meeting when she was told that the four primary sites in the state would be sufficient. After making the announcement, she said she was disappointed that the efforts of everyone involved would not be used. “I’m about to cry, she said. ” “I’m so proud of this community for coming together so quickly. ” Phillips said the first 500 evacuees would arrive in Kansas on Monday.

AP editor to speak on campus

A pair of “Saturday Night Live” comedians will headline this year’s homecoming festivities. Seth Meyers and Kenan Thompson will perform their comedy skits at 7 p.m. Oct. 23 at the Lied Center. The event-filled homecoming week, “Hawks on the Haunted Hill: Legends of the Fall,” begins Oct. 22. A large portion of funding for comedians will be generated from ticket sales, said Dustin Curzon, Broken Arrow, Okla., sophomore, and special events co-chairman. Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for the public and will be available at 11 a.m. on Monday at the SUA box office. The Homecoming Steering Committee lured the comedians with help from Student Union Activities, but it has continued to look for sponsors from the community. “It is important that we have this

big act coming in, but it’s really a small part of homecoming,” Curzon said. After Bill Cosby’s performance last year, which drew crowds from Kansas City and the non-student population, the committee wanted performers who would appeal to the college scene and generate a large student turnout. “I think this would be better because they are around our age,” Cherie Moose, Wichita junior, said about this year’s performance. “Kenan is pretty cool.” The “Saturday Night Live” duo may be the hit of the week, but other Halloween-themed events are scheduled. The committee has made it a goal to get the entire community involved in the activities. A block party, scheduled for Oct. 27 at South Park, 1141 Massachusetts St., is open to the community and students. Live entertainment, including Jayhawk Idol competitors, will perform on a stage at the party. Inflatable children’s games and various Massachusetts Street vendors will be on hand. Committee members planned events like the block party to generate interest from the Lawrence community. “KU is a big part of Lawrence, and Lawrence is a big part of KU.

Lawrence, and Lawrence is a big part of KU. It’s really important that the community get really involved in that also.”

Nine finalists will be selected, and the winner will sing the national anthem at a basketball game.

Influential speakers to visit K-State
Two of the most influential figures of the modern world will visit Kansas State University this fall. Kansas State announced this week that former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev and media magnate Ted Turner will speak, Gorbachev on Oct. 28 and Turner on Nov. 28. The lectures, which are part of K-State’s Landon Lecture Series, are free to the public. Gorbachev became the leader of the Soviet Union in 1985 and guided it through its dissolution. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990. Ted Turner founded CNN and Time Warner Cable and invented 24-hour television news. He donated $1 billion to the United Nations in 1997. Charles Reagan, associate to the KSU president, said the university had been working for years to bring Gorbachev and Turner to campus.

come up with an innovative and unorthodox presentation method for “At Work.” Photos are arranged in groups according to what commission they belong to. Klocke said they did this to have the works parallel how the work landscape has changed over time. The works also hang in a nonlinear, disjointed order. Klocke said they had to warn the security guards in advance that the exhibit looks like paintings have been stolen. “We did this to engage the viewer and emphasize that the individual works are part of a larger effort,” he said. Instead of traditional explanatory text underneath each

work, labeling appears at the beginning and end of each section. Each label is a Friedlander quote describing the specifics of the commission. Porter said the informational labels act as parentheses around the photos, similar to what viewers would see on a magazine page. “We’re just trying to explore the potential of the exhibit as it lends itself so well to different interpretation,” Porter said. The museum has planned other events inspired by the exhibit throughout the semester including a commissioned work of art, a first-time display of student work in the museum, a digital video installation and a visting lecturer. — Edited by Patrick Ross

Wow, if you have not been fortunate enough to see this one, then let me be the first to let you know that it is the most ridiculous show on television. Let me give you a brief synopsis of how this show is set up. Young girls parade themselves around as if they are royalty, yelling at their mothers and blatantly bragging of their extreme wealth and superiority. Their parents pay for outrageous gatherings while the lucky girl spends the day exposing herself as a spoiled, self-absorbed, disrespectful snob. These children are 16 years old and treating their parents and classmates like the dirt on their designer shoes. This is the kind of thing that people are actually paying to put on television.

Other reality shows these days have proven to climb the ladder of popularity because people get involved in the drama of the show, because it is the drama that people want. People picking fights with each other, talking about each other behind their backs, and lying and cheating are all huge pluses for the entertainment side. These shows are quick to draw us in with every insult. This is the number one thing America wants to watch. Why is that? What does this say about our society? There are a number of shows similar to this one and it will only be a matter of time before these absurd reality shows take over television completely, if they haven’t already. What I want to know is how

these shows are making it on television. Whose bright idea was it to document a bratty, 16-year-old girl’s birthday party? Who OK’d the decision to put someone like Andy Milonakis on MTV several nights a week to act like a complete fool? Is this completely embarrassing illustration of “American reality” really that entertaining? I could barely watch 30 seconds and it blows my mind to think that people actually watch the entire show each week? Let’s think about this for a second. Since I’ve been using “My Super Sweet Sixteen” as my example, I will continue to use it here. It would be safe to generalize that younger teens are the targeted group for this show. If a significant number of kids age 17 and under watch this show, then what are they getting out of it? It just exposes them to greed, immaturity and shallow popu-

larity. While there is no scientific way to measure how much television affects children today, many aspects of every-day life are portrayed on television. It isn’t outrageous to say that it does shape and influence them. This kind of behavior is served on a silver platter to children who think what they are watching is cool. If these kinds of behaviors are glamorized while children are still fairly young and impressionable, what are we teaching them? Is this the way people in other countries view the American people? There is no entertainment value in watching another individual behave so inappropriately and it is certainly not something that we want to teach our younger generations. Nothing good or remotely entertaining for that matter can come from these kinds of shows. Its completely disgraceful

they have continued to appear on television, getting worse and worse with each new show. We must draw the line somewhere. How long will it be until television turns into a com-

plete mess? Better yet, how long will our society keep watching? It’s up to you. ✦ Logue is an Overland Park senior in journalism.

On the street where you live Free
It’s amazing, sad but still true that in the year 2005, African-Americans are still faced with the back of the line, back of the bus and a “go around to the back” mentality when it comes to being served. It’s happened to me right here in Lawrence. I ordered food over the phone from Jade Garden, a local Chinese restaurant, two days before classes ended this past semester. When I told the man that I would come to pick up my order, he gave me my total and told me it would be ready between 10 and 15 minutes. I arrived at Jade Garden about 20 minutes later. I entered the restaurant and approached the long counter across the dining room. The gentleman on the left was helping some other customers, and the gentleman on the right was answering a phone order. Both cashiers were fairly young white men. I waited a few minutes quietly until the cashier on the right got off the phone. When he seemed to be available, I looked at him to assist me, and he held up his index finger without saying a word. He then walked away and returned to the counter moments later. I waited patiently for about eight minutes, and the other cashier was still helping the same customers, as there was a discrepancy with their bill. The cashier on the right who I had been waiting on was staring at the computer monitor occasionally hitting a few buttons. As I stood there, an older white gentleman walked into the restaurant, came up to the counter and stood beside me.

The cashier who had given me the silent “hold on” finger, and ignored me the rest of the time, suddenly came to life. “May I help you?” he asked the older white gentleman who had just arrived. The man said, “Yes. I called in an order and would like to pick up my food.” Perhaps because my skin was darker, he had somehow missed me standing right in front of him for the past 10 minutes. So, I stood there stunned for a few moments, before growing angry. I began to stare at the cashier over my glasses. Although I could not see myself, I know I looked angry because as soon as he looked at me, he quickly averted his eyes. A Hispanic gentleman came from the kitchen and asked if I needed help, as I had been standing there for an extended period of time. I told him yes and gave him my name. My food had been sitting directly behind the counter the whole time. Why did I have to stand there for 10 minutes when the white man came in, got his food and was out the door in two? Even as the Hispanic gentleman gave me my food, and the other cashier on the left proceeded to add up my bill, I continued to stare at the cashier to my right. I was at a loss for words. Had I not been so stunned I would not have paid for the food. I would have

just left. I contacted Lisa Nguyen, manager of Jade Garden, and informed her of her employee’s actions. She was very apologetic on behalf of the restaurant. Nguyen said the cashier had only been working for three weekends, and she did not know him very well. She said he would be dealt with accordingly. “When I hire people, I never think that I have to teach them manners. I assume they would treat all customers with the same respect,” said Nguyen. It is not as if I misinterpreted the situation and thought about it after the fact. There is no mistaking that the cashier intentionally ignored me. Why did the Hispanic man have to get my order for me? He was not a cashier. The white man who came into the restaurant was picking up food just like I was, except it took me about 10 minutes longer. After two years of living at the university, I have noticed that people are surprised when they hear of racial acts that occur in Lawrence as well as other places in this country. Many believe that all people are treated the same way regardless of race and other differences. Some acts of racism are unintentional and are results of ignorance. Ignorance however, is not an excuse for oppressing people based on ethnicity or other differences. I am a living testament that racial injustice still goes on, and as African-Americans, we are forced to deal with it every day of our lives. ✦ Ford is a Washington, D.C., junior in journalism.

Polling sites may return
By John Jordan

Kansan staff writer

Students may again be casting their ballots at polling sites on campus for the Student Senate elections next spring. Physical polling sites weren’t used for recent freshman elections or senate elections last spring. The only voting option was online. A bill was introduced Wednesday in committee to permanently bring back the sites. Stephanie Craig, Edmond, Okla., senior and holdover senator, wrote the bill because she said physical sites weren’t supposed to be removed when senate went to online voting. The bill accidently removed the physical sites, Craig said. After being debated, and passing in two senate committee meetings, the bill will now be voted on in full senate next week. The bill would reinstate voting sites at Strong Hall, Wescoe Beach, the Burge and Kansan Unions and Mrs. E’s dining center. The Students Rights committee amended the bill to include a site at the Student Recreation Fitness Center. Kevin Poppe, Leawood senior, said polling sites on campus got more students to vote. He said he voted when the sites were up but not when elections were online. Students may hear about the elections on campus, Poppe said, but that doesn’t mean a student will vote when he gets home. “When you get home, you sit down and watch TV, you don’t go to your computer to vote,” Poppe said. In discussion, Craig said

really don’t think we need anymore P.R. on election day.”

“I

the sites are a non-partisan way to encourage student voting. She said that during elections, having mostly candidates who were running for senate positions talking to students wasn’t the best way to remind them to vote. Having 90 coalition members on campus, compared with only nine nonpartisan elections, commission members could add bias to the process, Craig said. In debate, some were concerned that the sites offer undue costs. Jason Boots, Plano, Texas, senior and Student Executive Committee chairman, said if Senate brings back the sites, it would need to hire workers and pay for set-up costs for computers and Internet connections. Two workers at six sites for two days would cost over $1,500, Boots said. He argued that this cost is only to add publicity for senate elections. “I really don’t think we need anymore P.R. on election day,” Boots said. Boots said students can already vote on campus at computer centers throughout campus. — Edited by Kellis Robinett

The new rooms would be able to accommodate 1,400 to 1,600 births per year. Along with the surgical facility and birthing rooms, the hospital wanted to develop larger private rooms with better video and Internet tech-

nology, and renovate the intensive care unit. Berendsen said the plans for the intensive care unit have not been solidified because they are still in the planning stages. Archie Smith, senior vice president of Universal Construction Company, said he hoped to start demolition by the end of September and complete it by the end of this year. He said he was still waiting to receive the final drawings from an architect. Smith said he didn’t know

when the project would begin or the extent of what his company would be doing. He said part of the existing hospital would be exposed to the demolition, and a semi-permanent solution to cover the project from view was being thought up. Universal Construction Company would most likely work on the project, Berendsen said, but she could not fully commit to anything until LMH receives the permit. — Edited by Jayme Wiley

Anyone upset about Kansas’ home football game against Oklahoma being moved to Arrowhead Stadium need only look south to realize that not having one game at Memorial Stadium isn’t worth complaining about. While moving the game outside Lawrence is unsavory to local fans and businesses, all they are losing is the excitement and money generated from an on campus event. Besides, just about everyone who wants to watch the game can still make the short drive down I-70. These inconveniences pale in comparison to the situation in Baton Rouge, La., where LSU decided to move tomorrow’s regularly scheduled home game against Arizona State to Sun Devil stadium in Tempe, Ariz. Fans in the gulf area aren’t just losing a home football game. They’re losing an opportunity, for a few hours, to escape from the real world and the horrors caused by Hurricane Katrina. This game

was something that the entire community and much of the state could have rallied around. Playing football at a time of pain is not unprecedented. When 12 students died in the bonfire that collapsed at Texas A&M in 1999, College Station, Texas, was in a state of constant mourning. The school’s most heralded tradition turned into its biggest disaster, and there was no escaping the tragedy. But an interesting thing happened just a few days later. A record crowd packed Kyle Field to watch Texas A&M play Texas, and, for a few hours, College Station’s emotions were focused on something other than its grief.

California dreaming
Team heads to San Diego to take on the Toreros

Kansan sportswriter

Summer isn’t over just yet for the women’s soccer team. The Jayhawks (2-1-1) flew out yesterday for a long weekend in San Diego, and a pair of tough West Coast Conference match ups in the adidas/Toreros Invitational. Coming off two shutout wins at the hands of Missouri State and Arkansas, Kansas looks to extend its streak

while soaking up that California sun. This road trip is the Jayhawks’ first test away from the comforts of home, although the comforts of San Diego might just fill that void. “It’s always fun to go somewhere different,” Coach Mark Francis said. “A couple of the girls said they’ve never even been to California. So it’s fun, but hopefully we’ll go out there and win a couple soccer games.” Tonight at 9:30, the women take on the University of San

Diego (2-2-0). The match was originally scheduled for a 7 p.m. kick-off, but Hurricane Katrina even left its mark on the soccer world; Tulane was forced to drop from the tournament. With Tulane unable to make it, the game times were adjusted accordingly. The Toreros enter this weekend’s invitational after competing in a similar setting last weekend. Wake Forest hosted an ACC/WCC tournament in which San Diego defeated Virginia Tech 2-1 before falling 1-5 against No. 8 Wake Forest. “It’ll be tough,” Francis said about the weekend. “The

competition may be a little tougher than the Michigan game.” Leading the Toreros offensive effort is sophomore forward Amy Epsten. The 2004 WCC freshman of the year has two goals in the first four games of the season. Sophomore midfielder Leigh Ann Robinson notched the game winner in overtime to top Virginia Tech last Friday. Coached by Ada Greenwood, the Toreros lost to the Jayhawks 1-0 in the teams’ last meeting in September of 2003. A day of rest is all the Jayhawks will get before facing

Visiting QB tough competition

Jayhawks strive to beat the Rams
By MAtt Wilson

He has been in Sports Illustrated, shattered nearly every record in school history and is one of the best players at his position — but most college football fans have no idea who he is. His name is Richie Williams. Williams is the starting quarterback for Division 1-AA Appalachian State and is finally getting the opportunity to prove himself against big-time competition tomorrow night when Appalachian State takes on Kansas. “You got to handle it the same way you handle any game, but I know there is a little extra incentive this weekend,” Williams

said. “Going against a top-notch program like KU will be a real challenge, but I am looking forward to it.” Last season, the senior quarterback threw for 3,109 yards and 24 touchdowns. Williams also ran for 284 yards and eight touchdowns. Those numbers led to him being named first team all Southern Conference by coaches and media last season. This season, Williams is a leading candidate for the Walter Payton Award, which is the equivalent to the Heisman Trophy for Division 1-AA players. Williams’ awards and accolades don’t end there. Last season, Williams was named conference player of the week

three times and named consensus national player of the week following Appalachian State’s 30-29 victory against then No. 2 Furman, of Greenville, S.C. In the Furman game, Williams put up record-breaking numbers. He completed 40 of 45 passes for 413 yards and ran in the winning touchdown with 35 seconds left to propel Appalachian State to victory. His 88.9 completion percentage for that game and 28 consecutive completions set two NCAA all-divisions records. For that performance, Williams will be featured in the next week’s Sports Illustrated “Faces in the Crowd.” “That was the best game I ever played in,” Williams said. “I didn’t believe it at first when

they told me I was going to be in Sports Illustrated. But when I saw it for the first time, it was crazy.” In the first game of the season this year, Williams threw for 234 yards and generated two touchdowns, one in the air and one on the ground. He racked up 66 yards rushing in a 24-16 victory at Eastern Kentucky. Williams said he considered himself more of a passer than a runner, but had no problem doing both. Those qualities have Kansas defenders comparing him to another quarterback in the Big 12 Conference. “He is a great athlete,” senior linebacker Kevin Kane said.

The Jayhawks will face their last test in preparation for the Big 12 Conference season today at 11 a.m. when they play host in the Pizza Hut Jayhawk Invitational. Kansas (5-1) will look to build off its victory over Saint Louis Tuesday night after dropping its first match of the year against BYU. The Jayhawks dominated the Billikens, something that senior outside hitter Paula Caten said was pivotal going into the game against Saint Louis. “We had to win,” Caten said. “We had to do better with some tough matches coming up.” The Jayhawks will see if the momentum will carry when they take on the Rams of Virginia Common-

wealth in the tournament’s opener. VCU played Wichita State last night before making the trip to Lawrence and was 5-1 entering the match. The Rams will be anchored by VCU volleyball coach James Finley, who is in his first season at the Division I level. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he was impressed with the early season success of VCU and that it would be a tough challenge for his team. “Virginia Commonwealth is one of the biggest surprises,” he said. “They have a great chance to win their conference and go to the NCAA tournament.” Later tonight, Kansas will take on Michigan State. The Spartans are also no stranger to success this year after starting

To help you in your efforts, we’re even offering you advice on this week’s games
The Kansan’s weekly edition of football picks will work a little differently from now on. Students across campus now have the chance to pick alongside sports reporters at www.kansan. com/kickthekansan. Any student that finishes the week with a perfect record or out does all 16 sports reporters—not all of them are pictured—will replace a sports reporter the following week. So you’re literally trying to kick the kansan off the sports page. F Kansas State at Marshall: Marshall walked into Manhattan two years ago and upset Kansas State. This time Marshall is the home team, but Kansas State will be looking for revenge. F Tulsa at Oklahoma: Not a single sports reporter picked Tulsa to upset Oklahoma. The Sooners are the heavy favorite, but they lost their season opener to the TCU Horned Frogs. F Iowa at Iowa State: Iowa is the ranked team in this game, but Iowa State could take advantage of its home field advantage. F Appalachian State at Kansas: The Jayhawks were picked across the board. F New Mexico at Missouri: Missouri looked solid in its opener, but New Mexico is a much tougher test than Arkansas State. F Notre Dame at Michigan: The Irish looked great in their opener, but the Wolverines are ranked in the top 5 and have the home field. F Wake Forest at Nebraska: Nebraska struggled to defeat Maine in its opener. Can Wake Forest be as competitive? F Texas at Ohio State: This game is looking like the best non-conference game of the year. Both teams rolled in their openers, and the Kansan staff was split on their decision. F New Mexico State at Colorado: Colorado squeaked by Colorado State last week. New Mexico State will try to hang around just as long. F LSU at Arizona State: Both teams are ranked in the top 15, and LSU gave up home field at the last minute because of Hurricane Katrina. The Sun Devils’ new home advantage may not be worth more than what the Tigers have to play for, though.

Plane celebration no longer scheduled for takeoff
Kansas Athletics Department officials announced that the Air Force KC-135 Stratotanker scheduled to fly over Memorial Stadium before the football game against Appalachian State has been canceled. The Air National Guard canceled the event because of a current stoppage of aircraft flyovers for sporting and other events through the end of the month. The event was scheduled as part of the athletic department’s “Heroes Night, in recognition ” of local armed forces, firefighters, EMS personnel, law enforcement members and teachers. The flyover could be rescheduled, but no date has been set.

tournament tomorrow at 1 p.m. when it faces Temple. The Owls (3-3) are back to .500 after losing their last three matches. They were picked to win the Atlantic 10’s east division this season by the league’s coaches. Leading the Owls this season are sophomore outside hitter Yue Liu and senior middle blocker Zhen Jia Liu. Both garnered all-conference honors last season. Yue Liu was named rookie of the year, and Zhen Jia Liu was a first-team performer. Kansas solidified its lineup for the most part this season. Still, Bechard said this weekend would be helpful for contributors off the bench this season. Bechard said the Jayhawks would use this tournament as a chance to get ready for conference competition as well. “We know we’ll have to play well to win,” he said. “Having a sustained effort for the entire match is the biggest thing for us. Some of these matches will be like Big 12 matches.” — Edited by Jayme Wiley

The Kansas cross country team will head to Warner Park at 6:30 p.m. to race against Kansas State in Manhattan. Before this season, the dual was called the KSU Invitational. The tournament included other schools in addition to Kansas and Kansas State. This season, the rivals have an agreement to square off against one another. “We just talked to Kansas State about it over the summer and decided to have a little key meet against each other,” assistant coach Doug Clark said. The men’s team will run in an 8K race as it did in last week’s meet in the Bob Timmons Invitational in Lawrence. The women will run in a 6K race tonight. They ran in a 5K race last week. Last season, the men’s team placed first out of six schools at the KSU Invitational. The women’s team placed fourth out of eight teams. “I’m pretty sure everyone is looking to go out there and beat as many K-State runners as they can,” sophomore runner Connie Abbot said. The competitive air of the meet against Kansas State will prepare Kansas for the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept. 24 in Minnesota, Clark said. The Kansas men’s and women’s teams are coming off last week’s first place finishes in the 8K and 5K runs, respectively. Both the men’s and the women’s teams swept the field of 12 male teams and 10 female teams. The men finished with 20 points overall. Sophomore runner Colby Wissel led the Jayhawks with a time of 25:33 in the 8K race. The women came in first

Anticipation and expectations for the 2005 season run high in the KU Women’s tennis team. “The coaches are expecting a lot more than last season,” senior Christine Skoda said. “We need to step up and pass their expectations.” Sophomore Stephanie Smith echoed her teammate’s opinion and said the team would strive to exceed goals set by the coaches. “We have higher goals this year,” Smith said. “We want to finish higher in the Big 12 and make the NCAA tournament.” The team members look forward to playing as a team, which they were unable to do this summer because of offseason rules. The rules limit group play to four

members of the team at a time. “Having everyone on the courts will be better than the workouts this summer,” Skoda said. “There will be a better atmosphere. Everyone’s ready to play.” Skoda said she had spent much of the summer in Lawrence fine-tuning her game for her last season as a Jayhawk. “I feel like I’ve been practicing this whole time,” Skoda said. “I into the leadership role at Appalachian State. He said that was something he wasn’t used to, but he learned to adjust. “I’m probably more of a leader by example,” Williams said. “I never yell at other guys because I don’t think things get done when you do that. If we’re up, I’ll try to have fun with the guys too and keep them loose.” After college, Williams said he would love to play in the NFL, but knows he has to take care was experiencing numbness in the left leg and foot. The surgery was performed on Aug. 30 and required an overnight hospital stay. “I haven’t had any muscle soreness. My foot feels fine, ” he said. “It’s really amazing how quickly it recovers. ” He was taken off blood thinners this week and will no longer require them. “I’ll be fine, ready to go, ” he said. “I took every snap (Wednesday), every drill the first unit ran. I’m taking everything today. I haven’t had any setbacks. ” Green may feel great, but

won’t feel rushed after practice starts. I get into a routine.” Junior Ashley Filberth said the team was eager to start playing on the courts again in a competitive atmosphere. The start of the season starts quickly; the first tournament will be Sept. 16 to 18 at the Tulsa Invitational. — Edited by Theresa Montaño of business this year and win games for Appalachian State. Off the field, Williams said he was a clown. He loves to have fun with his teammates and sometimes likes to talk a bit on the field to opposing defenses. He said he knew how good the Kansas defense was, and that he would have to pick his battles as to whom he talked to on the field. — Edited by Patrick Ross questions remain about the overall state of an offense that has been hobbled by aches and pains throughout the preseason. The top unit actually worked together in the four exhibition games only a few snaps. Green played only the first two series in the Chiefs’ third preseason game, and was not even at the stadium for the fourth. Most of the quarterbacking in those two games was done by emergency backup Jonathan Quinn, who was released on cut-down day.

Sophomore runner Connie Abbot paced Kansas with a time of 19:19 in the 5K race. The meet against Kansas State will prepare Kansas for a difficult schedule the rest of the semester, which will include meets that take place in Minnesota, Indiana, Texas and Iowa. “Between the meet last week and the Kansas State dual this week, I think those two meets will get us well-prepared to compete to our potential,” Clark said. — Edited by Erin Wisdom

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two weeks after undergoing surgery to restore circulation in his leg, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Trent Green pronounced himself 100 percent fit. “I feel really good, he said ” yesterday. “It’s amazing how quick the turnaround has been, how quickly it came back. ” Doctors implanted a stent in an artery after conducting a battery of tests to learn why he

1B off against the No. 15 Pepperdine Waves (4-0-0) at noon on Sunday. In his eighth season, Pepperdine Coach Tim Ward is enjoying his team’s most successful start in school history. Much like the Toreros, the Waves are also coming back from a similar invitational but from Hawaii instead. While there, the Waves shut out both the University of Hawaii and Eastern Michigan. Unranked at the beginning of the season, Pepperdine has shot up the polls because of its dominant start and has now landed itself at the No. 15 spot in the Soccer America poll. Junior forward Linsey Redlin leads the team with four goals and nine points in just four games. She is at the 55 percent mark at shots on goal. Francis acknowledged Pepperdine’s out-of-the-cannon start, but isn’t even thinking about them yet. “We’ve got to take on San Diego before we even get to Pepperdine,” Francis said. “We’ll take one game at a time. We got to train a lot more this week than we did last week.” Sunday’s match up will mark the first between Kansas and San Diego. The Jayhawks are not heading to the beach without preparing. Francis sounded happy about having the last week off and said he felt his team needed the extra training time. Senior forward Caroline Smith leads the charge for Kansas with three goals and six points. Freshman forward Jessica Bush is right behind her with a pair of game-winning goals last week against Missouri State and Arkansas. Bush was also named Big 12 player of the week for that effort. “It’s always good to see your players get recognized around the conference,” Francis said. “And she deserves it.” The Jayhawks kick off in San Diego at 9:30 tonight. — Edited by Patrick Ross

Gov. plans bill veto
the AssociAted Press

Steven Levy/KANSAN

By STEVE LAWRENCE SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would veto a bill to legalize samesex marriage “out of respect for the will of the people,” drawing heated criticism from gay rights supporters and cheers from conservative groups. The bill, narrowly passed by lawmakers in the past week, would make California the first state to legalize same-sex marriage through its legislature. But Schwarzenegger said Wednesday the legislation would conflict with the intent of voters. “We cannot have a system where the people vote and the Legislature derails that vote,” the governor’s press secretary, Margita Thompson, said in a statement. “I’m encouraged that the governor is going to stop the runaway Legislature, and he’s going to represent the people,” said Karen England of the Capitol Resource Institute, a Sacramento group that lobbied against the bill. But gay rights advocates said the Republican governor had betrayed the bipartisan ideals that helped get him elected in the 2003 recall election. “Clearly he’s pandering to an extreme right wing, which was not how he got elected,” said Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality California, one of the bill’s sponsors. “He got elected with record numbers of lesbian and gay voters who had not previously voted for a Republican, and he sold us out.”

Appalachian State
OFFENSE

Looking for an upset

Kansan senior sportswriter

Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has said that a team’s biggest progression comes from game one to game two. On Saturday, it will be clear how much the team has improved since last week’s 3019 victory against Florida Atlantic. The Jayhawks will look for answers from the quarterback position on Saturday. Mangino will use two quarterbacks: Senior Brian Luke and junior Adam Barmann. Kansas will face a division I-AA opponent this weekend in Appalachian State to help prepare them for the rigors of Big 12 Conference play. Mangino said the non-conference games were also important for younger players looking to gain experience. Mangino said that he would not approach the game any differently because Appalachian State is a Division I-AA opponent. “We are not going to tell you that they are a Big 12 team; They are not,” Mangino said. “But are they capable of winning any game if the team they are playing against does not prepare well, does not stay focused, doesn’t play smart football, you bet.” Mangino said he intended for his team to be ready and focused. A victory would move Kansas to 2-0 on the season. The Jayhawks will likely rely on a solid running game like last week against Florida Atlantic. Senior running back Clark Green ran for more than 100 yards and the team ran for more than 200. The Jayhawk offensive line opened large holes for the runners and also gave both quarterbacks time to look down field. The defense will look to prevent big plays that they gave up last weekend, in two 66-yard touchdown completions. “As a defense, we know that we are a big part of this team,” senior linebacker Kevin Kane said. “We are going to have to step up and stop them on situations such as that.” Kane said the big plays were correctable and the defense would focus on not giving up big plays against Appalachian State. Kane said he did not plan to take Appalachian State lightly from a mental or physical perspective. — Edited by Patrick Ross

The Kansas offense sputtered during most of the first half last week because of inconsistent play at the quarterback position. The offensive line did a good job of opening holes for the running game, as senior running back Clark Green ran for 107 yards. They also gave the quarterbacks time to throw the ball, and senior Brian Luke took chances downfield that were nearly caught. While a starting quarterback has not been set, look for the quarterbacks to try to right the ship after last week.

Offense: The offense is definitely the strong point for Appalachian State, as Walter Payton Award nominee quarterback Richie Williams will lead the team into Lawrence. Appalachian State features a no-huddle offense, which will attempt to keep the Kansas defense off-balanced and confused. Williams has more than 5,000 career passing yards, has thrown for 39 career touchdowns, and ran for 17 career touchdowns. His main targets at wide receiver are senior Jermane Little and tight end Daniel Bettis. Appalachian State had 334 yards of total offense in its season opener versus Eastern Kentucky.

DEFENSE

DEFENSE

Defense: The Kansas defense gave up two long touchdown plays against Florida Atlantic, both 66-yard bombs. The defensive line and linebackers, though, did stop the run, as they allowed just 70 rushing yards on 37 carries. They also did a good job of getting pressure on the quarterback. They will have to be just as successful this week in getting pressure on the quarterback, as they face another mobile quarterback.

Defense: The defense has struggled to contain opposing offenses, as it let up 40 plus points in four games last season. In the season opener, Appalachian State allowed over 450 yards of total offense. The defense did get a much-needed boost last week, when sophomore safety Corey Lynch returned after missing all but two games of the 2004 season. In his first game, Lynch recorded seven tackles and also had two interceptions. Marques Murrell, junior defensive end, will lead the defensive line. Murrell recorded 60 tackles last season, and had eight in the season opener.

SPECIAL TEAMS

SPECIAL TEAMS

as

Special Teams: Kansas special teams were great last week, sophomore kicker Scott Webb drilled two field goals and helped set Florida Atlantic off with poor field position with his booming kickoffs into the end zone. The special teams unit also made big tackles on returns that lengthened the field for the Owls. Expect more of the same this week from a speedy group.

SpecialTeams: Julian Rauch will punting and kicking duties for ApHe was 6-9 last season, with yards. In the season opener, punted the ball eight times for an average of 32.9 yards. Jackson and Jeremy Wiggins handle the kick return duties; gins is the primary threat. Coaches: Jerry Moore leads Appalachian State in his 17th season with the school. Before that, Moore was the head coach at both North Texas and Texas Tech. Moore has some other Big 12 ties, as he was the offensive coordinator at Nebraska for five years. Overall, Moore has achieved a 129-64 record at Appalachian State, and his overall coaching record is 156-112-2.

COACHES

COACHES

Coaches: Kansas football coach Mark Mangino has said all week that he will likely use two quarterbacks this weekend. He also said the starter would likely not be named until game time. Mangino found a way for his team to win last week after being down in the third quarter. Mangino should have the luxury to try some different players this week, as the team should be up big on Appalachian State in the second half.
— Ryan Colaianni

After winning its season opener, Appalachian State will come to Lawrence this weekend in its first ever game against a Big 12 Conference opponent. Appalachian State’s defense has been a major area of concern. The team allowed an average of 32 points a game last season, and although it held Eastern Kentucky to 16 points last weekend, it still let up 455 yards of total offense. The defense has a knack for turnovers though, as it forced four turnovers last week. Junior defensive lineman Marques Murrell, brother of former NFL running back Adrian Murrell, will lead the Appalachian State defense, after being named first team all conference last season. Murrell registered eight tackles, two-and-ahalf sacks, three-and-a-half tackles for a loss and two forced fumbles in the season opener. “He’s not as big as your typical D-1 defensive ends, but he is athletic, strong and smart,” senior quarterback Richie Williams said. “You want him on your team. He is just a real good playmaker.” Williams will lead the offense, which will look for a receiver to replace last season’s conference player of the year DaVon Fowlkes. Fowlkes caught 103 passes last season for 1,618 yards and 14 touchdowns. After the first game, senior wide receiver Jermane Little seemed to be the leading candidate to replace Fowlkes, as he had more than 100 yards receiving and a touchdown catch last week. Appalachian State has some issues at the running back position. The team’s leading rusher from a week ago was Kevin Richardson, who ran eight times for 30 yards. C.J. Underwood could also see some time at the position. Appalachian State cracked the division 1-AA top 25 after its season opening victory. The team was ranked 25th, after spending nine weeks in the top 25 last year. Kansas is not the only big time program the Mountaineers will face this season, as they will also travel to Baton Rouge, La., to do battle with SEC powerhouse Louisiana State. The last time the Mountaineers played a SEC team, they nearly pulled an upset, losing to Auburn 22-15 in 1999. — Edited by Jayme Wiley
