Senior running back Brandon McAnderson dives for extra yards during Saturday’s game against Iowa State in Memorial Stadium. Kansas defeated Iowa State 45-7 and improved to 11-0, notching the highest victory total in school history. The Jayhawks rose to No. 2 in the Associated Press Top 25, the
coaches’ poll and the BCS Standings. Sophomore quarterback Todd Reesing completed 21 of 26 passes for 253 yards and four touchdowns and no interceptions, stretching his streak of pass attempts without an interception to 205. If Kansas wins its remaining games, it will play in the BCS National Championship
in NewOrleans, but a the biggest test of the season remains. The Border Showdown with AP No. 3 and BCS No. 4 Missouri Saturday at Arrowhead Stadiumin Kansas City, Mo., will decide the Big 12 North champion —and knock one teamout of the national title race. SEE COVERAgE ONPAgES 1B, 4B AND 5B.

E-fraud targets KU Credit Union
Several people with University e-mail
addresses received fraudulent e-mails that
claimed they were from the KU Credit
Union.
The e-mails asked for people to give their
account numbers.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public
Safety Office said it was rare for e-mails to
be addressed only to a certain group, such as
University addresses.
KU Credit Union did not really send the
e-mails, and has a part of its Web site where
people are supposed to notify it if they
receive spam e-mails from someone who is
pretending to represent KU Credit Union.
Dennis Halpin, KU Credit Union spokes-
man, said his company would never ask for
an account number in an e-mail.

The only thing, possibly, putting up big-
ger numbers than the Kansas offense right
now is the secondary market of Saturday’s
Border Showdown between Kansas and
Missouri. Tickets for the game available on
eBay, StubHub and Ace Sports are fetching
staggering prices.
StubHub, which monitors ticket resale
prices, has the average KU-MU ticket going
for $157. Just last year, the resale price of
the contest was $69. The Web site has a
“StubHub Top 25 Rivalry Rankings” index
that lists the top 25 average resale price
of college football games in 2007. The
Jayhawk-Tiger game, as of Sunday after-
noon, ranked 15, behind rivalries such as
Ohio State-Michigan, USC-Notre Dame
and Oklahoma-Texas.
Most tickets on StubHub are currently
being sold for $250 or more.
Hal Wagner, owner of Overland Park-
based Ace Sports and Nationwide Tickets,
said the game was the biggest in the his-
tory of Kansas football. Wagner said the
increased interest in Kansas football has
made Kansas basketball tickets an after-
thought.

Divorced pastor’s wife
claims church as asset
MINEOLA, N.Y. — The es-
tranged wife of a pastor claims
her husband blended his pro-
fessional and personal fnances
so thoroughly that his church
should be counted as an asset
in their divorce.
A judge agreed in a decision
published this week to hear
arguments on the claim, and
he ordered a fnancial appraisal
of the church. Lawyers said it
could represent the frst time
anyone in New York state has
tried to treat a religious institu-
tion as a marital asset.
The wife argues that her
husband of 31 years used his
Brooklyn church as a “personal
piggy bank,” setting his own
income, spending the congre-
gation’s tithes as he pleased
and running a catering business
from the building, according to
the decision by state Supreme
Court Judge Arthur M. Dia-
mond. The couple’s names were
redacted from the decision.
The wife said $50,000 of the
couple’s money went into start-
ing the church, and that the
church property is partly hers.
“That church is no diferent
than any other business he
might have opened,” said the
wife’s lawyer, Robert Pollack.
The pastor maintains he is
simply a church employee, and
the institution’s funds should
not be considered his, accord-
ing to Diamond’s decision.
“My client can’t own the
church,” said the minister’s
lawyer, Eleanor Gery.
A message left at the church
was not immediately returned.
There are only 11 days of
class left this semester. For

Organizations
KU Mock
Trial
By Jennifer TOrline
[email protected]
KU Mock Trial is a nationally
ranked organization that helps its
members develop their public speak-
ing and acting skills.
Claire Haflich, Leawood junior
and captain of the team, said the
University of Kansas’ chapter was
ranked 45 out of the 600 collegiate
teams in the country, which placed it
in the top 10 percent in the nation.
At the beginning of each school
year, the organization receives a pack-
et from the national chapter that con-
tains a different incident, such as a
murder, criminal or civil case. The 12
members use the packet information
to set up the prosecuting and defend-
ing side of the case. “We learn how
to be attorneys, and we train people
to be witnesses,” Haflich said. “We
also have real objection battles.”
After the members of Mock Trial
construct their cases, they compete
against other Mock Trial organiza-
tions at tournaments throughout the
year. The 12 members are divided
into two teams of six, based on skill
level. Depending on the group’s
finances and the competition level
of a tournament, both teams may
compete at a tournament, but the two
KU teams will never compete against
each other.
Taylor Wiles, Ottawa senior and
president of KU Mock Trial, said
Kansas’ team attended six to 12 tour-
naments every year throughout the
state and country.
This semester, members have
already competed in two tourna-
ments, in which they took eighth
and first place. The team will next
compete Nov. 29 through Dec. 2 at
Arizona State University.
Haflich said she was confident that
the group would do well enough at
the regional competition in March to
make it to the national competition in
April in Iowa.
“We have a lot of past talent and a
lot of new talent, which is a positive
thing for any organization,” she said.
Although KU Mock Trial deals
with issues related to law, the orga-
nization is not geared solely toward
pre-law students. Haflich said that
half of the organization consisted of
pre-law students, and the other half of
the members had different majors.
“We really accommodate speak-
ing and acting, in addition to the law
aspect of it,” Wiles said.
Both Wiles and Haflich agreed
that participation in KU Mock Trial
provided taught valuable skills to its
members.
“Mock trial teaches you how to
make clear statements, be concise,
and be persuasive,” Haflich said. “It’s
really effective for anything you could
do in life.”
KU Mock Trial meets at 6 p.m. on
Thursdays and at 10 a.m. on Sundays.
Tryouts for the team are usually held
at the beginning of the fall semes-
ter. For more information about KU
Mock Trial, e-mail kansasmocktrial@

Missing New Jersey cat
turns up 800 miles away
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. — Heath-
clif the cat somehow hitched a
nearly 800-mile ride from New
Jersey to Georgia — most likely on a
moving van, authorities said.
The orange and white shorthair
was reported missing Oct. 24 from
Sicklerville, N.J. The animal was
identifed Nov. 9 at an animal shelter
in Lawrenceville where a resident
took the cat after trapping him.
D. Mosier, an animal control
ofcer, scanned Heathclif for a
microchip, as she does with all ani-
mals that show up at the Gwinnett
Animal Welfare and Enforcement
Center. The microchip led to infor-
mation that the kitty was reported
missing.
A volunteer rescue group
shuttled the cat back to its owner
Wednesday.
Last week, a Lawrenceville
woman provided what might be
the answer to how the cat ended up
in the Atlanta suburb. The woman
called Mosier and told her she
helped her son move out of a New
Jersey apartment shortly before the
cat turned up in Georgia.
Man gives Hawaiian shirts
to Tennessee art college
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Anyone can
donate money to their favorite
college. John McIntire turned over
something of greater personal
value: his collection of 700 Hawaiian
shirts.
McIntire, a sculptor, gave the
shirts to the Memphis College of
Art, where he once worked.
He had collected the colorful gar-
ments over 50 years, picking them
up at yard sales and junk stores,
never paying more than $5 apiece.
McIntire, 72, wears Hawaiian
shirts most days, putting a T-shirt
underneath when it’s cold and add-
ing a coat when necessary.
The college plans to display the
shirts for a sale to beneft a scholar-
ship in McIntire’s name.

University e-mail addresses
receive fraudulent messages
BY MARK DENT
[email protected]
A phisher sent people with
University e-mail addresses messages
appearing to be from KU Credit Union
requesting account numbers.
Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU
Public Safety Office recommends stu-
dents delete the e-mails if they receive
them. Bailey said it was rare for a local
company like KU Credit Union to be
included in fraudulent e-mails. He said
it was also strange that they seemed to
be aimed only at people with University
e-mail addresses.
Dennis Halpin, spokesperson for
KU Credit Union, said the e-mails
weren’t from his company. KU Credit
Union, a financial institution similar
to a bank with about 78,000 Lawrence
clients, would never ask for informa-
tion such as account numbers or credit
card numbers in e-mail, Halpin said.
The KU Credit Union Web site has a
notification asking people who receive
the e-mails to notify it immediately.
This isn’t the first time phishers
have used the KU Credit Union’s name
to send e-mails. Phishers claim to be
from legitimate companies and send
e-mails to users asking for personal
information. Halpin said phishers did
a good job at replicating the KU Credit
Union screen shot all the time. KU
Credit Union traces the phishers down
and shuts down their Web addresses,
preventing them from sending more
e-mails, Halpin said. But the addresses
are usually traced to different coun-
tries, making it nearly impossible to
prosecute the people who send them.
“It’s pretty complicated,” Halpin said.
“The main step is educating members
as to what the real messages are.”
Amanda Knoll, Morland senior, and
Katey Basye, Hays junior, didn’t recall
receiving the KU Credit Union e-mails,
but they said they received e-mails like
it all the time. Knoll questions the
accuracy of an e-mail that would ask
for something like an account number
in an e-mail.
“I figure they can contact me in a
different way,” she said. “If it’s a real
bank, they can call me or mail me.”
Basye just deletes every e-mail she
receives from major companies.

The easiest way to quantify the
hype leading up to a big game
might be studying the resale price
of that game’s tickets. In the case of
this weekend’s Border Showdown
between Kansas and Missouri,
with tickets on eBay and StubHub
fetching stag-
gering prices,
it wouldn’t
be hyperbolic
to prema-
turely agree
with Kansas
A s s o c i a t e
A t h l e t i c s
Director Jim
Ma r c h i o ny,
who called
this a possible
“game of the year” candidate.
StubHub, which monitors
ticket resale prices, has the aver-
age Kansas-Missouri ticket going
for $157. Just last year, the resale
price of the contest, which was in
Colombia, Mo., was $69.
This year’s figure could end up
closer to $200 by Saturday — the
vast majority of the game tickets
currently available on StubHub are
being offered for $250 or more.
The Web site has a “StubHub
Top 25 Rivalry Rankings” index
that lists the top 25 average resale
price of college football games in
2007. The Jayhawk-Tiger game, as
of Sunday afternoon, ranked 15
behind storied rivalries such as
Ohio State-Michigan, USC-Notre
Dame, UCLA-USC and Oklahoma-
Texas.
StubHub spokesman Sean Pate
said the tickets for the KU-MU
game were a perfect case of supply-
and-demand.
“A rivalry game has a demand
around it, even if both teams are
winless,” Pate said. “You have fam-
ily and tradition and everything
else. When you add performance to
that, and two teams in the top five,
you basically have a perfect storm
of influences to make the game as
popular as it ever has been.”
Pate said the game being sold
out and the lack of tickets available
led to the inflated resale value. The
average Chiefs game in Arrowhead
has more than 1,000 tickets for
sale on StubHub. As of Sunday,
only 449 tickets are available on the
site for the KU-
MU contest, a
clear indication
that most tick-
et holders are
enthusiastic fans
of the respec-
tive schools and
don’t intend to
part with their
tickets. The lack
of quantity on
the open market
has pushed up the price of available
tickets.
Hal Wagner,
owner of
Overland Park-
based Ace Sports
and Nationwide
Tickets, said
the build up for
the game was
“unbelievable.”
“This is the
biggest KU foot-
ball game in
history — ever,”
Wagner said. “I’ve been in business
19 years, and it has been a long,
long time since a game has had this
much interest.”
Wagner said his KU-MU tickets
were listed at $149 and higher at
Ace Sports.
“The funniest thing to me is
normally at this time, we would
be inundated with KU basketball
orders,” Wagner said. “The phe-
nomenon of KU football has defi-
nitely made KU basketball not as
hot. We are one week away from
the biggest KU basketball game of
the year, Kansas vs. Arizona, and it
is almost like people couldn’t care
less, because they are thinking of
KU-MU football. It is insane!”
Marchiony said the Athletic
Department was happy about last
year’s decision to change the venue
of the game to Arrowhead for this
year and next.
“I am sure very few of us imag-
ined that this game would mean so
much,” Marchiony said. “To have it
actually come to fruition is gratify-
ing, I am sure, for both programs.”
Marchiony said Arrowhead
would provide “more of a home
field advantage than not,” for the
Jayhawks. Kansas, technically the
home team, sold slightly more than
40,000 tickets to the game and
Missouri sold 17,000. The Chiefs
sold the rest, about 20,000, to sea-
son ticket holders. The capacity of
Arrowhead is just less than 80,000.
Marchiony said he expected at least
half of the Chiefs season ticket
holders, and possibly more, to be
Jayhawk sup-
porters.
T h e
influence of
the free mar-
ket was also
on display on
campus last
week. Before
the ticket
office at Allen
F i e l d h o u s e
opened on
Monday morning to distribute stu-
dent tickets to the game, people at
the front of the line, some of whom
had shown up on in the wee hours
of Sunday morning and spent two
nights under the stars in tents, were
offered hundreds of dollars to take
other student’s KUIDs to the win-
dow.
Marchiony said the system for
ticket distribution, which had set
an arbitrary number of allowing
each student to take 10 KUIDs to
the window, would be under review
by the Athletic Department.

Japan whalers target humpbacks
BY HIROKO TABUCHI
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHIMONOSEKI, Japan — A
defiant Japan embarked on its larg-
est whaling expedition in decades
Sunday, targeting protected hump-
backs for the first time since the
1960s despite international opposi-
tion. An anti-whaling protest boat
awaited the fleet offshore.
Bid farewell in a festive ceremony
in the southern port of Shimonoseki,
four ships headed for the waters off
Antarctica, resuming a hunt that
was cut short by a deadly fire last
February that crippled the fleet’s
mother ship.
Families waved little flags embla-
zoned with smiling whales and the
crew raised a toast with cans of beer,
while a brass band played “Popeye
the Sailor Man.” Officials told the
crowd that Japan should not give
into militant activists and preserve
its whale-eating culture.
“They’re violent environmental
terrorists,” mission leader Hajime
Ishikawa told the ceremony. “Their
violence is unforgivable ... we must
fight against their hypocrisy and
lies.”
The whalers plan to kill up to 50
humpbacks in what is believed to
be the first large-scale hunt for the
once nearly extinct species since a
1963 moratorium in the Southern
Pacific put the giant marine mam-
mals under international protection.
The mission also aims to take
as many as 935 minke whales and
up to 50 fin whales in what Japan’s
Fisheries Agency says is its larg-
est-ever scientific whale hunt. The
expedition lasts through April.
Japan says it needs to kill the
animals in order to conduct research
on their reproductive and feeding
patterns.
While scientific whale hunts are
allowed by the International Whaling
Commission, or IWC, critics say
Japan is simply using science as a
cover for commercial whaling.
The anti-whaling group
Greenpeace said its protest ship,
Esperanza, was moored just out-
side Japan’s territorial waters and
would chase the fleet to the south-
ern ocean. There was no immediate
word Sunday of an offshore con-
frontation.
“We are going to do everything
in our power to reduce their catch,”
Karli Thomas, expedition leader on
the Esperanza, told The Associated
Press by telephone. “Japan’s research
program is a sham. We demand that
the Japanese government cancel it.”

Prominent couple
faces Thanksgiving
deportation threat
By BASSEM MROUE
ASSOciAtEd PRESS
BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Shiite
Muslim militant group Hezbollah
has launched a massive project to
rebuild south Beirut, devastated in
last year’s war with Israel — and it’s
paying for much of the construction
with international donor funds that
were meant to strengthen its top
rival, the Lebanese government.
Western-backed Prime Minister
Fuad Saniora’s government has been
distributing the funds as compensa-
tion to families whose homes were
destroyed by Israeli bombardment
so they can build anew.
But in south
Beirut, long
a Hezbollah
s t r o n g h o l d ,
most of the fami-
lies have prom-
ised to give their
compens at i on
— about $53,000
each — to the
militant group
to redevelop the
devastated area
in an ambitious
plan likely to bolster Hezbollah’s
standing.
The money going into the gov-
ernment’s family compensation pro-
gram comes mainly from Islamic
and Arab nations, chief among
them Saudi Arabia — a strong sup-
porter of Saniora and opponent of
Hezbollah — which has given $570
million, said Sanaa al-Jack, govern-
ment spokeswoman for relief and
reconstruction projects.
It does not appear money from
the United States and the European
Union was ending up in the hands
of Hezbollah, an ally of Iran and
Syria which is considered a ter-
rorist organization by Washington.
Al-Jack said the American and EU
donations — about $140 million
and $110 million promised, respec-
tively — were not earmarked for
family compensation but for infra-
structure and technical help.
Asked if U.S. money could be
going to Hezbollah’s rebuilding
project, a U.S. Embassy official in
Beirut said, “I would doubt it.” The
official, who insisted on anonymity
under embassy rules, said U.S. funds
were given for specific projects and
would be carefully monitored.
The European Union has not yet
sent any reconstruction aid, wait-
ing for a damage assessment by
officials from the U.N., World Bank
and Lebanese government, said
Christiane Hohmann, a European
Commission spokeswoman.
The high-profile campaign to
rebuild south Beirut gives Hezbollah
a political boost in its yearlong
power struggle with Saniora’s gov-
ernment. Since the 34-day war
between Hezbollah and Israel ended
in summer 2006 — leaving swaths
of south Beirut and many towns
and villages in southern Lebanon
in ruins from Israeli bombardment
— the two sides have competed
to show who can do the most for
the Lebanese
people.
“If this proj-
ect succeeds, it
will give credit
to Hezbollah
on a politi-
cal as well as a
popular level,”
Adnan Sayyed
Hussein, a pro-
fessor of inter-
national rela-
tions at Beirut’s
Lebanese University, said of the
south Beirut reconstruction.
Al-Jack said the Lebanese gov-
ernment was aware that south
Beirut families were giving their
compensation to Hezbollah but
refused to comment further.
A Saudi Foreign Ministry official
said his country has “nothing to do
with how the government distrib-
utes the money.” The official spoke
on condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to talk to the
media.
Work in the Beirut district
known as Dahiyeh began over the
summer. Hezbollah banners at doz-
ens of construction sites across the
area proclaim, “We will build it
nicer than it was,” as thousands of
workers lay foundations for new
apartment buildings.
The $370 million campaign
— Lebanon’s biggest construction
project since downtown Beirut
was rebuilt in the 1990s follow-
ing the country’s 15-year civil war
— is being planned and directed by
“Waad,” a branch of Hezbollah. It
aims to transform the district, home
to hundreds of thousands of people,
mainly Shiite Muslims.
Waad has been contracted by
families to rebuild 213 of the dis-
trict’s 300 destroyed buildings,
including 3,700 units in apartment
buildings as well as shops, offic-
es, warehouses and schools, said
Hassan Jishi, Waad’s general man-
ager.
It also will improve roads and
build parking lots and gardens. The
remaining 87 destroyed buildings
are being rebuilt by individual own-
ers who decided not to participate
with Waad.
Any costs not covered by the
families’ compensation money will
be paid by Hezbollah’s main con-
struction arm, which is also renovat-
ing hundreds of damaged buildings
in Dahiyeh, Jishi said. Hezbollah is
known to have received billions of
dollars from Iran since its founding
in the 1980s.
One Dahiyeh resident, Ahmad
Khalil, said the residents of his nine-
story apartment building voted on
whether to give their money to
Waad to rebuild their home, which
was destroyed along with the nearby
Hezbollah’s headquarters complex.
Two-thirds of the families voted for
Waad, so all went along with the
decision.
“Our building was destroyed
because Hezbollah’s headquar-
ters were close to us, so for sure
they (Hezbollah) will rebuild,” said
Khalil, a 42-year-old father of two
who has been renting an apartment
elsewhere in Beirut, using money
given by Hezbollah.
Immediately after the war,
Hezbollah gave every family whose
home was destroyed $12,000 to rent
an apartment until their homes
were rebuilt.
The name “Waad” — Arabic for
“Promise” — refers to a television
address made by Hezbollah’s lead-
er Sheik Hassan Nasrallah hours
after the war ended on Aug. 14,
2006. Nasrallah declared victory
and promised Hezbollah would
help the Lebanese rebuild, saying,
“Completing the victory can be
done with reconstruction.”
As an AP reporter and photog-
rapher toured Dahiyeh recently,
builders and architects were seen
working at construction sites under
close watch of Hezbollah members.
A Hezbollah representative accom-
panied the journalists, since the
militant group has restricted the
media from going into the area
without its permission.

ASSOciAtEd PRESS
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. —
Immigrants Pedro and Salvacion
Servano have been model U.S.
residents since arriving from the
Philippines in the 1980s.
Pedro Servano, 54, is a prominent
family doctor in an underserved
area of central Pennsylvania. His
51-year-old wife runs a grocery store
and bakery.
But a change in their marital status
during their visa
application pro-
cess more than
two decades ago
has come back
to haunt them,
and now, they
are facing pos-
sible deporta-
tion back to the
Philippines.
The cou-
ple have been
told to report
to an Immigration and Customs
Enforcement office the day after
Thanksgiving for the start of depor-
tation proceedings, agency spokes-
man Michael Gilhooly said Friday.
Their attorney, Gregg Cotler, is
devising a flurry of last-ditch legal
and political appeals to allow them
to remain in Selinsgrove, about 100
miles northwest of Philadelphia.
“We love this country, and this
is our American dream to be here,”
Salvacion Servano said in a tele-
phone interview. “We’ve been here
for 25 years. This is our home.”
Their difficulties can be traced
back to 1978 when, while both were
single, their mothers applied for
visas for them to come to the United
States.
The couple married in the
Philippines in 1980, and two years
later, Salvacion Servano’s visa was
granted and she left the country.
Pedro Servano followed in 1984 after
getting his visa, and the couple moved
to Philadelphia.
The Servanos
applied for U.S.
citizenship while
living in San
Diego in 1990,
but an immi-
gration official
noticed during
an interview that
their visa applica-
tion listed them
as single. They
were accused
of lying and misrepresenting their
marital status, and the deportation
process began, Cotler said.
“I guess it’s an honest mistake,”
Salvacion Servano said. “It’s not pre-
meditated.”
The Servanos went about their
lives as they filed appeals. They
moved back to Philadelphia in
1992 before settling in Selinsgrove
three years later. Pedro Servano
works at Geisinger Medical Group
in Selinsgrove, where he has about
2,000 patients.
Two of their four children gradu-
ated from Temple University, while
one is in high school and another is
in middle school.
Several years ago, the Servanos
bought and renovated two proper-
ties in nearby Sunbury. Salvacion
Servano recently opened a small
grocery store there, selling Asian
goods and baked items.
“They had an error on their visas
when they first came here,” said
Terry Specht, Sunbury’s city clerk,
who frequents the store. “It’s ridicu-
lous to think they would lie about
that.”
But their appeals have been
unsuccessful and appear to have run
their course.
The Servanos turned to Cotler
after receiving notice earlier this
month that they had to report to the
immigration enforcement office.
“It was a
surprise to us,”
Pedro Servano
said. “After that,
it was as if a ton
of bricks had
fallen on our
family.”
G i l h o o l y
declined to dis-
cuss the specifics
of the case, citing
ICE policy.
“They have
had their due process through the
U.S. immigration court system,” he
said. “They have exhausted their
appeals.”
Cotler hopes otherwise. His legal
team is considering emergency
appeals in court and directly to the
U.S. attorney
general’s office.
The family
has lobbied for
help from poli-
ticians. Friends
scheduled a
prayer vigil in
Sunbury for
Saturday night.
Letters of
support to the
g o v e r n me n t
have poured
in from local dignitaries, Servano’s
patients and even someone from the
Department of Homeland Security,
which oversees ICE.
“I fervently believe in the ICE
mission. However, the Servanos did
not sneak into this country illegal-
ly, they have broken no laws, and
they have not been a burden to
the economy. They pose no threat,”
DHS counterterrorism operative Bill
Schweigart wrote in a letter obtained
by The Daily Item of Sunbury. “I
cannot fathom how deporting the
Servanos fulfills any portion of the
ICE mission. In fact, I would argue
the action runs counter to it.”
Cotler said the couple under-
stands the government’s position, but
would simply like another chance to
tell their story.
“You would not find two nicer
people, two more unassuming peo-
ple,” Specht said.

Dr Pedro Servano, center, and his wife Salvacion Servano, center left, hug friends who came out to a vigil held at Cameron Park in Sunbury, Pa., Saturday evening in support of the doctor and his
family. The Servano’s face deportation to their native Philippines unless their lawyers can salvage their 17-year-long immigration case with last -ditch legal and political appeals.
“We love this country, and it is
our American dream to be here.
We’ve been here for 25 years.
This is our home.”

Hezbollah begins rebuilding

Tech waste piles up in China
By cHRiStOPHER BOdEEN
ASSOciAtEd PRESS
GUIYU, China — The air smells
acrid from the squat gas burn-
ers that sit outside homes, melt-
ing wires to recover copper and
cooking computer motherboards
to release gold. Migrant workers in
filthy clothes smash picture tubes
by hand to recover glass and elec-
tronic parts, releasing as much as
6.5 pounds of lead dust.
For five years, environmental-
ists and the media have highlight-
ed the danger to Chinese workers
who dismantle much of the world’s
junked electronics. Yet a visit to
this southeastern Chinese town
regarded as the heartland of “e-
waste” disposal shows little has
improved. In fact, the problem is
growing worse because of China’s
own contribution.
China now produces more
than 1 million tons of e-waste
each year, said Jamie Choi, a tox-
ics campaigner with Greenpeace
China in Beijing. That adds up to
roughly 5 million television sets,
4 million fridges, 5 million wash-
ing machines, 10 million mobile
phones and 5 million personal
computers, according to Choi.
“Most e-waste in China comes
from overseas, but the amount of
domestic e-waste is on the rise,”
he said.
This ugly business is driven
by pure economics. For the West,
where safety rules drive up the
cost of disposal, it’s as much as 10
times cheaper to export the waste
to developing countries. In China,
poor migrants from the country-
side willingly endure the health
risks to earn a few yuan, exploited
by profit-hungry entrepreneurs.
International agreements and
European regulations have made a
dent in the export of old electron-
ics to China, but loopholes — and
sometimes bribes — allow many to
skirt the requirements. And only
a sliver of the electronics sold get
returned to manufacturers such as
Dell and Hewlett Packard for safe
recycling.
Upwards of 90 percent ends up
in dumps that observe no environ-
mental standards, where shred-
ders, open fires, acid baths and
broilers are used to recover gold,
silver, copper and other valuable
metals while spewing toxic fumes
and runoff into the nation’s skies
and rivers.
Accurate figures about the
shady and unregulated trade are
hard to come by. However, experts
agree that it is overwhelmingly a
problem of the developing world.
They estimate about 70 percent of
the 20-50 million tons of electronic
waste produced globally each year
is dumped in China, with most of
the rest going to India and poor
African nations.
“If this project succeeds, it will
give credit to Hezbollah on a
political as well as a popular
level.”

BY GARY GENTILE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The animated
telling of Beowulf, who rids a Danish
kingdom of the feared beast Grendel,
slew the box office over the weekend
and gave a huge boost to 3-D films
in the process.
The Paramount Pictures release
earned $28.1 million in its opening
weekend — 40 percent of which
came from special 3-D showings
in regular theaters and on IMAX
screens.
The film did $8 million in ticket
sales on 638 screens equipped with
technology from RealD, which uses
a special reflective screen and polar-
ized lens glasses that moviegoers can
take as a souvenir.
Theater owners were able to
charge about $2 extra for the 3-D
showing.
The film also sold $3.6 million
worth of tickets on 84 IMAX screens
showing the film using their own 3-
D technology.
“Twenty percent of the screens
produced 40 percent of the gross,”
Paramount general sales manager
Don Harris said Sunday.
The film, directed by Robert
Zemeckis, used performance-cap-
ture technology to render lifelike
images of its stars Ray Winstone and
Angelina Jolie.
“If this isn’t a mandate on the
popularity and viability of 3-D,
I don’t know what is,” said Paul
Dergarabedian, president of box-
office tracker Media By Numbers.
Studios are planning even more
animated and live actions films in 3-
D as they try to lure audiences back
into multiplexes.
This week’s top 12 films grossed
29 percent less than the top 12 in
the same weekend last year. Ticket
sales were also off 3 percent from
last week.
Attendance has been down eight
of the past nine weekends according
to Media By Numbers.
But studio officials said Sunday
that they expected a slate of fam-
ily films to gain steam during the
extended Thanksgiving holiday and
into December.
The animated family film “Bee
Movie,” written by Jerry Seinfeld,
had the second-highest gross of the
weekend with $14.3 million in ticket
sales, bringing its total after three
weeks to $98.8 million.
The release by DreamWorks
Animation has been hovering in the
top two spots at the box office since
it opened.
The fantasy tale “Mr. Magorium’s
Wonder Emporium,” from 20th
Century Fox, opened in fifth
place with $10 million. The movie
stars Dustin Hoffman and Natalie
Portman in a story of an eccentric
who owns a toy store with a life of
its own.
The other film opening over
the weekend, “Love in the Time of
Cholera,” from New Line, debuted
in 10th place with $1.9 million.
Estimated ticket sales for
Friday through Sunday at U.S. and
Canadian theaters, according to
Media By Numbers LLC.:
1. “Beowulf,” $28.1 million.
2. “Bee Movie,” $14.3 million.
3. “American Gangster,” $13.2
million.
4. “Fred Claus,” $12 million.
5. “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder
Emporium,” $10 million.
6. “Dan in Real Life,” $4.5 mil-
lion.
7. “No Country for Old Men,”
$3 million.
8. “Lions for Lambs,” $3 mil-
lion.
9. “Saw IV,” $2.3 million.
10. “Love in the Time of
Cholera,” $1.9 million.

brandon T. minsTer
I
’m looking to buy a car.
I’m not really worried
about cost or reliability or
even practicality. Those are the
concerns of the middle-aged.
Right now, I’m 19 and willing
to pay for that last leg of inde-
pendence, that ability to move
without having to coordinate
with city busses or my friends’
schedule.
The question is, what kind of
car and, of course, how much
am I willing to pay? With no real
answer to either question, I ask
around and most of my friends
tell me the same thing: Honda.
Acura. Toyota. Mitsubishis are
nice.
I have this reply I’ve been
working on that goes something
like: “If I’m going to be spending
a considerable amount of money
on something, I want to really,
really like what I’m buying.” I
understand the practicality of
the aforementioned makes and
models, but I’d really like my
shot at driving something that
isn’t parked in every third spot.
So, I looked into a 1982
Chevrolet El Camino online
with these specs, verbatim:
•“65,000 MILES
•New Tires
•Mint Condition
•Drives Smooth Like Butter
•Moonroof
•CD
For a minute, I can almost
see the car/truck combo driving
down its Spanish namesake like
a stick of butter sliding down
the dinner table. The price is a
little steep, though. Almost eight
grand for a car that is as old as
I am with as many miles as my
parents will doubtlessly have
worries, questions and objec-
tions. And as sort of a side note
here, my bank account isn’t ex-
actly prepared to back this kind
of spending.
Maybe I can appeal to my
father. After all, he was the
one who had a Mustang and a
Volkswagen when he was my
age. Maybe he will provide a
little sympathy and monetary
support, especially after watch-
ing me drive a metallic purple
station wagon through high
school.
Thanks dad. You made high
school easy. I’m sure I’ll have no
problem convincing you to help
me out.
With the fnances taken care,
I think I’ll start bidding. I show
my friends the car I’ve had my
eye on and most are supportive.
Except one.
“But Whitney had one, didn’t
she?” Max says. And as quickly
as this dream was becoming re-
ality, Max’s observations send
it that much faster into history.
My other friends start to remi-
nisce about Whitney’s car. Her
engine made this sound like a
well placed bowling ball down
the lane, a
loud thud and
a slow rolling,
while mine
was more of
a smoker’s
cough from
watching the
guys play too
many frames.
No way
I can buy it
now. No way. I think I’ll save
the eight grand and not risk
anyone thinking that this car
is an attempt to live vicariously
through someone I knew briefy
in high school. So much for the
El Camino. If it’s any consola-
tion, her car did brake down
the summer after we graduated
—broke down for good. As far
as I know, it’s still sitting in her
driveway, looking for a new en-
gine. After my dad fnds all this
out, he’ll most likely withdraw
his support. I have certainly
built a good case for him, but
here I am, convincing myself
that it’s still a good idea to con-
sider this car, as long as there
are Ebay pages to view.
Page four yields something
interesting: “Don’t wait to get
this one! It’s a hot ride that re-
ally turns heads! Is it blue? Is it
purple? Is it gold? You got it!
It’s all three!”
Wow. It was a bad ad, trying to
sell an ugly car that wants to be
a truck. And on top of all that,
it’s blue and gold and purple.
It turns heads because while it
may drive smooth like butter, it
looks like vomit. This car model
never ceases to amaze me.
If ever pressed to say what I’ve
learned while being at KU, I’ve
learned about this feeling called
“being in college” that, right
next to your gut and conscience,
ways heavily in your decision
making. It’s not something typi-
cal or only present on Friday
night. And despite the words
of my friends or my parents,
this ugly little car somehow fts
right in with “being in college.”
I imagine my dad felt something
very similar to it when he pur-
chased (or
as my mom
says, his
parents pur-
chased) his
mustang. It’s
a good, reli-
able feeling.
Personally,
I can only
recognize it
as the feel-
ing I didn’t
have when he handed me the
keys to the station wagon.
So the conversation I’ll have
with him will go something like
this: He will say, “You are (1)
trying to declare your indepen-
dence, by (2) buying a car that
you supposedly really like, that
also (3) happens to be the same
car Whitney owns, the same
car that broke down constantly
and currently fails to undertake
it’s primary function: It can’t
drive?”
And I will say, “You got it. I’m
trying to do all three.”

sophomore in English and is

Opinion page.
A
nonymity ain’t what it
used to be.
There was a time whem you
couldn’t spit without hitting an
anonymous person. The Fed-
eralist Papers, written by Alex-
ander Hamilton, John Jay, and
James Madison, were credited
to Publius. The Anti-Federalist
authors’ pseudonyms were so
good that their true identities
still cannot be confrmed. By-
gone ages’ popular songs and
stories came from unknown
sources.
These days anonymity is
something else entirely. In keep-
ing with the Internet’s existing
civility level, these modest calls
for moderation were met with
hyperbolic death threats typed
in all capital letters.
Seeking anonymity to cover
poor behavior is nothing new.
After all, an entire Las Vegas ad
campaign centers on the idea
that “what happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas.” Evidently Ne-
vada health offcials offer free
STD eradication during your
departing fight’s pre-boarding
process.
Anonymity assaults our natu-
ral voyeuristic desire. When the
novel “Primary Colors” was
published in 1996, media mem-
bers worked tirelessly to iden-
tify author Joe Klein. And O.J.
Simpson has spent more than
12 years looking for the real kill-
er in his wife’s famous murder
trial. He’s mostly been following
a tip that the killer is somehow
connected to golf.
What is new, however, is the
lack of anonymity sought by
those doing good. Most people
like the idea of giving an anony-
mous gift because it shows hu-
mility, but
w h a t
good is
humi l i t y
if no one
k n o w s
about it?
In the
m o v i e
“ Re t ur n
to Me,”
a gener-
ous do-
nor says, “I suppose she told
you about the sizable donation
Mrs. Bennington and I gave
this year.... Anonymously of
course.”
Yankees owner George Stein-
brenner is a surprisingly gener-
ous guy, but few people know
because, as he told the New York
Times, he follows his father’s
maxim: “If you do something
good for some-
body and more
than two people
know about it,
you didn’t do it
for the right rea-
son.”
If the donor
resists the urge
of recognition,
he must con-
tend with the
recipient’s urge to tell secrets.
When I was a child the most
maddening taunt was the sing-
songy, “I know something you
don’t know.” On the surface
it’s a mindless truism: We ALL
know something others don’t.
I know which of the Bristol
Stool Chart’s seven categories I
matched this morning, but you
probably don’t want to know.
Telling information only gains
me that minute moment of fame
or respect if the information sat-
isfes your voyeurism. That is
why, if the donor doesn’t spill
the beans on his identity, the re-
cipient usually does.
Last week word came of an
anonymous $100 million dona-
tion to the Erie, Pa., Community
Foundation, which distributed
the money to various area chari-
ties. For now, the foundation
president isn’t telling the donor’s
identity, and recipient charities
aren’t asking. Which could be
just what the donor wanted, or
it could be driving him out of
his mind. “Come on, track me
down! Praise me!”
Since no one is talking, for
all we know the donor is me.
The real donor won’t contradict
me and lose his anonymity, and
the foundation president can’t
speak up without violating the
donor’s trust. So there you have
it: I’m the anonymous Erie, Pa.
donor. What’s my connection to
Erie? Ten years ago I was helped
at a McDonald’s drive-through
window by a particularly pretty
employee. Where’d I get all that
money? Uh, oil. Mostly oil. But
also a lot of it is mortgage-lend-
er bailout money. Stop asking
so many questions and just start
praising me anonymously on
the Internet.

NEWS 8A monday, november 19, 2007
By Jon GoerinG

Sam Owen rides his bike to
and from school almost every
day. And almost every day, Owen,
Albequerque, N.M., junior, makes
the decision whether to face the
heavy traffic and narrow lanes of
Bob Billings Parkway or add seven
minutes to his commute by using an
alternate route.
Owen lives in an apartment
complex west of campus near Bob
Billings Parkway. The parkway, which
becomes 15th Street at Iowa Steet, is
the most direct route to campus for
Owen. But for bicyclists, riding this
route is not a good option.
Members of the Lawrence Parks
and Recreation Advisory Board dis-
cussed the need for a bike path along
this stretch of the road for more than
a year. For the first time in recent
history, the board included the idea
on its agenda.
“Car traffic on that road is very
heavy,” Owen said. “And the lanes
are really tight. Some people ride on
the sidewalk or cut through grass to
get to campus because riding on the
road is pretty dangerous.”
Owen said riding on the sidewalk
was illegal in some parts of the city
and wasn’t a good option. One side
of the parkway has no sidewalk at
all. He said if seven minutes was
the difference between being late for
class or not, it was a tempting option
to take.
Owen said this made it a danger-
ous situation for pedestrians as well.
Kelly Barth, chairwoman of the
advisory board, supports the idea of
a bike path along the parkway. She
said she thought improving the city’s
bike path system made sense for
other reasons, too.
“We are living in a time where
the supply of cheap fossil fuels is
reaching the end,” Barth said. “The
sooner people start incorporating
non-motorized forms of travel, the
better we’ll all be.”
Donna Hultine, director of park-
ing and transit at the University, saw
a third reason to improve bike access
to the KU campus.
“It seems a bit counter-intuitive,
seeing as we make our money off of
parking permits,” Hultine said. “But
we aren’t planning on building any
more parking options. I am support-
ive of lots of options for students to
get to campus.”
Hultine and Barth said a number
of obstacles stood in the way of turn-
ing the idea into a reality.
Barth said making Lawrence
friendlier for walking and biking had
long been a priority for city officials.
She said she wasn’t sure how high
this type of project would rank on
the city’s priority list, especially now.
“The city has expressed they are
in a financial bind,” Barth said. “We
have to look at what is most impor-
tant and do that first.”
Bill Penny, a member of the advi-
sory board, said he hoped University
officials would be willing to donate
part of the land they owned on the
south side of the street to make room
for the bike path.
Jim Modig, director of design
and construction management at
the University, said the city suggest-
ed a plan for a proposed bike path
along the south side of the park-
way to the Design and Construction
Management Department a couple of
years ago. But a few physical obstacles
along the path increased the cost of
installing the path. The initial budget
didn’t reflect these extra costs.
“Some of the details weren’t
thought all the way out,” Modig said.
“But it is really more of a funding
issue than anything else.”
Modig said he and his staff sug-
gested the city take the plan back
to the drawing board. And he never
heard anything about it again.
Penny said he hoped the board
was taking the first steps toward
regaining support for the plan by
adding it to the agenda.
Owen said he hoped to have a safe
route to ride his bike to and from
school.
“I think it would be great,” Owen
said. “There are a lot of students who
live in these apartments. I think it
would be very heavily used.”

Girls challenge stereotypes
By rAFiQ MAQBooL
associated Press
KABUL, Afghanistan — A group
of teenage girls is taking up fisti-
cuffs to challenge Afghanistan’s
gender barriers.
“Move, move, move,” coach
Saber Sharifi shouted as the 20-
odd girls sparred recently. “Steady,
watch your left shoulder.”
The boxers belong to a new
generation of Afghan youth, chal-
lenging stereotypes that persist five
years after the fall of the Taliban.
They train in a room in Kabul’s
main sports stadium, a venue for
public executions during Taliban
rule in the late 1990s. Boxing is
helping them gain confidence and
self-respect, the girls say. Their goal:
to be Afghanistan’s first women’s
boxing team.
“Many people are trying to stop
us from participating in sports by
saying it is not good for women,”
Shabnam, 15, said, who uses only
one name. “But I think if you are
interested in doing something, you
should avoid listening to what peo-
ple think about you. Sports is a way
out of violence for Afghanistan.”
The girls — who also include
Shabnam’s sisters, Fatima, 17 and
Sadaf, 14 — practice separately
from boys and wear warm-up suits.
Some cover their heads with scarves
or bandanas.
Their effort is a brave one in this
male-dominated country, where
females start wearing the powder
blue burqa, which covers them from
head to toe, in public at puberty.
“The neighbors do not know
about the girls’ training yet, but we
fully support them,” their mother,
Salima Rahimi, said.
The family saw a women’s box-
ing match on TV one evening, she
said. “I want to become like Laila
Ali,” Shabnam shouted, referring
to boxing great Muhammad Ali’s
daughter. “I want to become the
world’s female boxing champion.”
The girls practice three times
a week, and Sharifi wants to hold
matches by year-end. He has seen
“tremendous improvement” in their
skills, he said, but hopes for better
equipment such as headgear, mouth
protectors and quality gloves.
“If the international community
is serious about helping Afghanistan
transform itself, then here is the
chance for someone to come for-
ward and help these girls realize
their dreams,” he said. “We need
to visit other teams and have other
teams visit us, because if they don’t
get enough exposure and matches,
then no amount of training in this
gym is going to help.
“We don’t even have a boxing
ring yet,” he said.

Storm kills 2,300; relief eforts continue
By PArVeen AHMeD
AssociAteD Press
BARGUNA, Bangladesh — The
death toll from Bangladesh’s most
devastating storm in a decade
climbed to at least 2,300 on Sunday
and relief officials warned the fig-
ure could jump sharply as rescuers
reach more isolated areas.
Teams from international aid
organizations worked with army
troops in a massive rescue effort
that drew help from around the
world. Rescue workers cleared
roads of fallen trees and twisted
roofs to reach remote villages, but
tents, rice, water and other relief
items were slow to arrive. Hungry
survivors, thousands of whom were
left homeless, scrambled for food.
The death toll rose as officials
made contact with coastal regions
cut off by the storm, Selina Shahid
of the Ministry of Food and Disaster
Management, said.
District officials compile the
figures, which are far from pre-
cise, based on reports from police,
public hospitals, military officials,
relief workers and aid agencies,
Mohammad Golam Mostafa of the
Disaster Management Ministry,
said.
The Bangladesh Red Crescent
Society, the Islamic equivalent of
the Red Cross, said that it believed
the toll could hit 10,000 once rescu-
ers reach islands off the coast of the
low-lying river delta nation.
Mohammad Abdur Rob, chair-
man of the society, said the esti-
mate came from the assessments of
thousands of volunteers taking part
in the rescue operations across the
battered region.
“We have seen more bodies
floating in the sea,” Zakir Hossain,
a fisherman from the country’s
southwest said, after reaching shore
with two decomposing bodies he
and other fishermen had found.
Squatting in a muddy field with
his wife, 45-year-old farmer Asad
Ali said their their 5-year-old daugh-
ter, the couple’s only child, had been
fatally crushed beneath their top-
pled thatched hut in Barguna, one
of the hardest-hit districts.
He said a helicopter had dropped
packages of food but he had received
little assistance. Mobs swarm below
the helicopters every time one is
spotted.
“I’ve been here waiting for hours
for something to eat,” he said. “What
I’ve got so far are a few cookies. Not
enough.”
Government officials defended
the relief efforts and expressed con-
fidence that authorities are up to
the task.

ToddReesing, sophomorequarterback, escapes the iowa state pass rushduringsaturday’s game inMemorial stadium. the Kansas ofense gained566 total yards inthe 45-7 victory. the 11-0 Jayhawks play Missouri saturday at arrowheadstadium.
BY ASHER FUSCO
[email protected]
All week long, media and fans treat-
ed Kansas’ matchup against Iowa State as
an afterthought during the build-up to
next weekend’s showdown with Missouri.
Saturday afternoon, the Jayhawks proved
they put in plenty of time
preparing for the game
everyone else overlooked.
The Jayhawks’ 45-7
dismantling of Iowa State
(3-9, 2-6 Big 12) lifted
the team to a school-best
11-0 record and ensured
that the team would battle
Missouri next weekend
with a spot in the Big 12
Championship on the line.
The victory, coupled with
Oregon’s and Oklahoma’s
losses, pushed the Jayhawks to second in
the AP poll, the coaches’ poll and the BCS
Standings, meaning the team controls its own
destiny: If Kansas wins the rest of its games,
it will play for the National Championship in
New Orleans.
Kansas (11-0, 7-0 Big 12) outplayed Iowa
State in every facet of the game as sopho-
more quarterback Todd Reesing added
another brilliant chapter to an already-spar-
kling season.
Reesing completed 17 of his 18 first-half
pass attempts and finished the game 21-of-
26 with 253 yards and four touchdowns.
Reesing avoided throwing an interception
for the sixth consecu-
tive game, stretching
his interceptionless
streak to 205 pass
attempts.
“It wasn’t bad,”
Reesing said. “Things
were clicking well, and
we were moving the
ball. I think we had four
consecutive scoring
drives, so it was good
to get things rolling like
that in the first half.”
After struggling through a three-and-
out on its first possession, the KU offense
picked up the pace on its next drive. Senior
running back Brandon McAnderson cov-
ered 25 yards on three carries and Reesing
completed all four of his passes as Kansas
marched 82 yards, scoring on a 17-yard
touchdown reception by junior wide receiver
Dexton Fields.
The Jayhawks’ first score looked simple
enough. Fields caught the ball near the line
of scrimmage and jogged 17 yards down the
sideline and into the end zone. But Fields
would have been stopped short if not for a
sensational block by freshman wide receiver
Dezmon Briscoe. As
Fields reeled in the pass
and headed for the goal
line, Briscoe tucked
his hands under Iowa
State cornerback Chris
Singleton’s shoulder pads
and drove the smaller
defender out of Fields’
path.
Briscoe’s outstanding
block was one of many
the Kansas wide receiv-
ers provided Saturday
afternoon. On several occasions, Fields
returned the favor by bulldozing Iowa State
cornerbacks and safeties to clear the way for
teammates. The Jayhawks’ wide receivers’
ability to contain Cyclone defenders down-
field helped the team pick up 212 rushing
yards.
“Our receivers have been doing an excel-
lent job blocking,” McAnderson said. “It’s
not about one man just outrunning every-
body — definitely not with me — so our
wide-outs have to get on their blocks, cover
their man and get them out of the way.”
The Kansas offense fired on all cylinders
for the entire first half. After Iowa State
punted on its second
possession, the Jayhawks
put together an 80-yard
drive that ticked just
more than two min-
utes off the game clock.
Reesing connected with
Fields three times on the
possession, including on
a 16-yard touchdown
pass that gave Kansas
a 14-0 lead with 1:57
remaining in the first
quarter.
After senior safety Sadiq Muhammed
intercepted a pass from Iowa State quarter-
back Austen Arnaud, Reesing calmly led
the offense on another long scoring drive.

Hawks prepare for stronger opponents

Brandon Rush’s eagerness wasn’t the
only reason he wanted to start playing again
Thursday against Washburn. He has anoth-
er one: Rush, a junior guard, needs an easy
game before the schedule starts getting tough-
er, such as Wednesday’s
game against Northern
Arizona.
“I don’t want to start
off against those guys,” he
said. “It’ll be good to play
them, but I’d like to play
before then just so I could
get warmed up before the
big games.”
Along with Northern
Arizona, the upcoming
tougher games include
Arizona on Sunday and
Southern California on Dec. 2. Northern
Arizona barely lost to Arizona and is expected
to contend for its conference title. The Wildcats
and the Trojans were both top 25 teams before
losing early home games.
It’s not that Kansas didn’t care about the first
few games of the schedule. In the long run, the
games against Louisiana Monroe, UMKC and
Washburn count the same as those against any
top 25 team.
Now, as the games become more difficult,
Kansas coach Bill Self expects the team to get
more intense.
“As much as we want our guys to be at that
magic level every game, I can’t understand
why, for the most part, we
appear not to be some-
times,” Self said. “I know
that there’s another gear
by competition that will
ratchet things up naturally
for us.”
Nature can only take
them so far. There’s a few
aspects of the game Kansas
needs to start working
on, mainly defense. The
Jayhawks have still been
forcing turnovers like they
did last year, but they can’t stop opponents
from scoring. Louisiana Monroe shot 51 per-
cent for the game in the season opener. UMKC
shot 50 percent in the first half a week ago.
If the defense forces less turnovers, it could
mean it’s doing a better job tightly defending
opponents and making them shoot bad shots.
Junior guard Mario Chalmers said they made
mistakes by going for so many steals.
“He doesn’t want us to gamble at all some-
times,” Chalmers said about Self ’s instruction.
“We have to go for it, and sometimes we miss,
sometimes we get it. He just wants us to be
more solid.”
Self said the Jayhawks also needed to elimi-
nate mental mistakes. During the opening
minutes of Kansas’ victory against Washburn
Thursday, senior center Sasha Kaun fouled
someone 75 feet away from the basket.
Chalmers and sophomore forward Darrell
Arthur missed multiple dunks against UMKC.
Those mistakes didn’t make a difference
against UMKC or Washburn, but they will
against Arizona and USC.
“We have to tighten things up,” Self said.

This year rivalry matters
Border showdown rarely means so much
“It’s really a great deal when
you force a team to throw the
ball and you know what they’re
going to do. You can really turn
up the heat on the passer.”
John larson
Junior defensive end
“It’s real easy to fnd guys open
in the pass game when the
defense is worried about the
running game.”
todd reesing
sophomore quarterback
By halftime of Saturday’s dismantling of
the Iowa State Cyclones, it was obvious that
a dream match-up was taking shape for
Thanksgiving weekend. Missouri had won
comfortably in Manhattan, and Kansas
was riding four Todd Reesing touchdown
passes to its school-record 11th victory.
By the time Kansas’ reserves were done
putting the finishing touches on a 45-7
triumph, officials announced the Border
Showdown in Kansas City, Mo., would take
place on ABC in primetime and be broad-
cast to the entire country. To add to the
already building hype, ESPN announced
that the College Gameday crew would be
at Arrowhead Stadium to showcase what
amounts to an audition for a spot in the
BCS championship game.
All of which made me wonder: When
was the last time Kansas and Missouri met
with so much on the line? After all, they
aren’t schools steeped in football tradition.
But the rivals have met on 115 occasions,
providing plenty of opportunities.
Without further ado, here are the three
most significant games in college foot-
ball’s most bitter rivalry — the Border
Showdown.

With its 11th straight victory, Kansas
has become the highest-ranked team in
school history. the Jayhawks are ranked
no. 2 in the BCs standings and the aP,
Coaches and harris polls. in the polls,
the team passed oklahoma, which lost
at texas tech, and oregon, which lost
at arizona. in the BCs, Kansas moved
past oregon from third to second. the
biggest surprise in the standings could
be West Virginia leapfrogging Missouri
for the no. 3 spot in the BCs rankings.
oklahoma’s loss dented Missouri’s
strength of schedule enough to pull
the tigers out of the third spot. aside
from no. 2 Kansas and no. 4 Missouri,
other Big 12 Conference teams in the

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan
coach Lloyd Carr will retire
Monday after 13 seasons, ending
an era marked by highs of winning
a national championship and five
Big Ten titles and lows of losing
to Ohio State and FCS opponent
Appalachian State.
Carr told The Associated Press
of his decision Sunday by phone,
saying he wouldn’t comment further
until a Monday morning news con-
ference at the school.
The 62-year-old coach informed
his players and staff of his retirement
Sunday during a team meeting at
Schembechler Hall.
“It’s a hard thing to deal with,”
safety Jamar Adams said. “We’re like
a family, and when the head of your
family is leaving, it’s hard.”
The news comes a day after
Michigan lost to Ohio State for the
fourth straight year, ending a trying
season for Carr and the Wolverines
that started with an embarrassing
loss to second-tier Appalachian
State.
It was a move many expected last
winter when he altered his contract,
paving the way for this to be his last
season on the sideline, and later
made sure the school gave all of his
assistants unprecedented, two-year
deals.
Carr is 121-40 with a .752 win-
ning percentage, ranking him sev-
enth among active coaches just
behind Florida State’s Bobby Bowden
and ahead of South Carolina’s Steve
Spurrier before he retired.

Quarterback injuries force Ducks, Sooners out of championship picture
of a banner year as well, winners of
nine contests while losing only once.
The Jayhawks had won six of
eight previous meetings and easily
dispatched the Tigers 34-6 to propel
the team to a 10-0 campaign. The
Jayhawks outscored opponents 280-
37 while also recording a victory over
Nebraska in Lincoln.
The undefeated season allowed
Yost to leave for Stanford where he
would stay for only one year before
guiding the Michigan Wolverines for
the next 20 seasons.
2. NoV. 19, 1960,
columBia, mo.

Kansas and Missouri met on the
last day of the season once again to
decide who would earn a spot in the
Orange Bowl in Miami.
The Jayhawks, ranked as high
as ninth during the season, came
into the game 6-2-1. Jack Mitchell’s
team had already faced two top-
ranked opponents in Syracuse and
Iowa before traveling to then-No.
1 Missouri. Kansas came up short
against Syracuse and Iowa, but still
arrived in Columbia, Mo., with a
chance to represent the Big Eight
conference in Miami with a victory.
Kansas faced an undefeated
Missouri team that had romped its
way through its first nine games
with convincing victories against
Oklahoma, Nebraska and Penn State.
None of that mattered as Kansas won
23-7 to seemingly book a trip to the
sunshine state.
Unfortunately for the Jayhawks,
recruiting violations meant they were
forced to forfeit the game and miss
postseason play while the Tigers took
their spot in Florida. The result still
remains in dispute as Kansas claims a
victory, and therefore a 54-52-9 edge
all-time, while Missouri contends the
teams have 53 wins apiece to go with
nine ties.
1. NoV. 23, 1968,
columBia, mo.
Eight years after missing out on
a chance to play in its first Orange
Bowl, Kansas returned to Missouri
under second-year coach Pepper
Rodgers to exact revenge.
The Jayhawks were led by All-
American quarterback Bobby
Douglass and defensive end John
Zook while a young John Riggins
bruised opposing defenses on the
ground. Kansas rode the trio to eight
victories and one defeat before arriv-
ing in Columbia with a second chance
to earn a place in the Orange Bowl.
Missouri entered the 69th meeting
between the two foes with only one
defeat while being ranked as high
as ninth during the course of the
season. The game lived up to the siz-
able expectations. The third-ranked
Jayhawks narrowly escaped 21-19 to
earn a share of the Big Eight confer-
ence championship and a place in
Florida where they would meet Joe
Paterno led Penn State on New Year’s
Day.
Despite losing controversially 15-
14 to the Nittany Lions, the Jayhawks
finished the season ranked No. 6 in
the country. Missouri bounced back
from the loss to beat “Bear” Bryant’s
Alabama team 35-10 in the Gator
Bowl.
The NeW No. 1?
This weekend’s clash at Arrowhead
stadium easily tops all three. Kansas
rose to No. 2 in the nation behind
LSU with Missouri nipping at its
heels. The winner will receive a trip
to the Big 12 championship game
and will assume pole position for the
opportunity to play for the National
Championship.
It’s a position Jayhawk fans aren’t
accustomed to. Students camped out
in the cold for tickets that weren’t for
basketball. Mark Mangino, Reesing
and Aqib Talib all have legitimate
chances to win national awards. It
truly is a new era in Lawrence.
It’s only fitting that Kansas meets
Missouri on the final day of the regu-
lar season to cap the beginning of that
era. But unlike so many other meet-
ings in the Border Showdown, this
time there are more than bragging
rights on the line.

The injury bug
For the first time this season,
Kansas had to deal with serious
attrition due to injuries. Three of
the team’s starters did not play
because of injuries on Saturday.
On defense, junior cornerback
Kendrick Harper and junior safety
Patrick Resby missed the game.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said
Harper’s injury occurred last week
in practice. Resby also sat out
last weekend at
Oklahoma State.
Freshman cor-
nerback Chris
Harris, who
started the first
seven games
of the season,
played in place
of Harper and
made a team-high 11 tackles.
Sophomore safety Justin Thornton
made three tackles in relief of Resby.
On offense, left tackle Anthony
Collins did not play because of a
leg injury, which Mangino said was
merely discomfort. Junior tackle
Matt Darton filled in for Collins
and held his own.
PoinTs a PlenTy
Kansas has enjoyed the luxury
of playing from ahead for much
of the season, a positive trend that
continued Saturday. The Jayhawks
jumped out to a 21-7 lead in the
second quarter and led at the half
for the ninth time in 11 games
this season. Saturday marked the
eighth time this season that the
Jayhawks have scored more than
20 points in a first half. Sophomore
quarterback Todd Reesing’s per-
formance had a lot to do with the
offensive explosion. He completed
94 percent of his throws and threw
four touchdowns before the half.
record aTTendance,
again
The announced attendance at
Saturday’s game was 51,050, the
second consecutive sellout at
Memorial Stadium. This season’s
average home attendance was
46,498, setting a new record for
average attendance. Kansas broke
its average attendance record in
each of the past three seasons.
Most of the Kansas fans stuck
around through the third quar-
ter before trickling out during an
anticlimactic fourth quarter. Those
who stayed through the end of the
game saw a tribute video honoring
the 2007 Jayhawks’ 11-0 record
with highlights from every game.
1,000-yard rusher
Senior running back Brandon
McAnderson started his Kansas
career as a fullback, but he’s fin-
ishing it as a 1,000-yard rusher.
McAnderson gained 70 rushing
yards on nine carries Saturday
to make himself the 12th Kansas
player to rush for over 1,000 rush-
ing yards in a season. In 11 games,
McAnderson has 1,009 rushing
yards and 15 touchdowns on 161
carries — an average of 6.3 yards
per carry. “It feels pretty good but
it’s not a huge deal yet. I guess after
I get done playing it’ll feel like a
bigger deal,” McAnderson said.
uncharacTerisTic
PenalTies
Kansas and Iowa State entered
the game as the first and second
least penalized teams in the nation,
but Saturday’s contest was anything
but pretty. Iowa State lost 104 yards
on 10 penalties and Kansas gave
up 98 yards on nine flags. The
only drive Iowa State turned into
a touchdown stayed alive due in
large part to Kansas penalties. On
the 79-yard drive, Kansas commit-
ted three penalties: a personal foul
face masking, defensive holding
and a personal foul for a late hit
out of bounds. The three violations
gave Iowa State 39 yards and three
first downs.
enTering The record
books
The Jayhawks
l aunched a
vicious assault
on the school
record books
Saturday after-
noon. Senior
kicker Scott
Webb became
Kansas’ single-
season scoring leader with 110
points this season. Senior tight end
Derek Fine set the single-season
record for receptions by a tight
end, with 41. Senior wide receiv-
er Marcus Henry’s eighth touch-
down reception of the season tied
a school record and junior wide
receiver Dexton Fields’ 11 recep-
tions tied a single-game school
record. Todd Reesing broke the
single-season completion record
(227) and his 30th touchdown
pass of the season tied him with
Kentucky’s Andre Woodson and
Missouri’s Chase Daniel for No. 1
in the NCAA this season.
senior day
Iowa State quarterback Bret
Meyer put the finishing touches on
a steady, if not sensational career
Saturday. The senior started his
48th consecutive and final game as
a Cyclone and finished the game
16-of-28 with 103 passing yards.
Meyer ranks third all-time in the
Big 12 Conference in total offense
and passing yards, and his 48-
game consecutive start streak is
the nation’s longest. Some of the
Kansas seniors also put together
strong performances in their final
home game. Marcus Henry caught
four passes for 92 yards and a
touchdown and Derek Fine also
caught a touchdown pass. Scott
Webb made his only field goal and
senior punter Kyle Tucker averaged
45.2 yards per punt.
Tricky jayhawks
As he has a tendency to do,
Kansas offensive coordinator Ed
Warinner opened up the play-
book and explored some new
twists against Iowa State. In the
first quarter, Kerry Meier started
as a slot receiver and moved into
the backfield before the snap. The
Jayhawks ran what looked like an
option play to the left sideline with
Meier as the pitch man. But just
as Todd Reesing and Meier turned
upfield, Reesing pitched the ball
to junior wide receiver Marcus
Herford who was reversing field
toward the right sideline. Herford
gained six yards on the play. Later
in the game, the ball was spotted
on the left hashmark for the Kansas
offense. The Jayhawks split five
wide receivers to the far left side
of the field in a bizarre diamond-
like formation and threw a quick
screen pass to Meier.

The mood on the two sidelines
couldn’t have been more different
after Kansas ended Iowa State’s season
with a 45-7 victory.
While Kansas coach Mark
Mangino discussed the endless pos-
sibilities ahead of the Jayhawks, Iowa
State coach Gene Chizik was forced to
reflect on a 3-9 season.
“We had a hard year, a lot of ups
and a lot of downs. We wish the
seniors well,” Chizik said. “We appre-
ciate what they did but we have to go
back to work with all of the guys that
are returning and obviously put out a
lot better product on the field than we
did this year.”
But it’s especially hard for Chizik
to say goodbye to this class of seniors
because of what it has meant to the
ISU program. Quarterback Bret
Meyer holds the school record for
career passing yards, wide receiver
Todd Blythe holds the school record
for career receiving yards and line-
backer Alvin Bowen led the nation in
tackles last season.
But Meyer, Blythe and Bowen
all finished their collegiate careers
at Memorial Stadium quietly. The
Jayhawks made sure the three staples
of Cyclone football didn’t make too
much of an impact.
Kansas junior quarterback Aqib
Talib blanketed Blythe all game and
held him to two receptions for only
twenty yards. Bowen only managed
five tackles because of the speed of
the Kansas offense. Meyer found
himself the constant target of blitzes
from Kansas junior linebackers Joe
Mortensen and Mike Rivera and
unable to rally the Cyclones.
“It’s emotional but at the same
time, I’ve had fun,” Meyer said. “I was
able to start 48 straight games. I can’t
really complain about too much, win
or lose, whatever.”
Chizik doesn’t comply with the
passive approach of his starting quar-
terback. He’s determined to turn the
Iowa State football program around
next year with the young talent he
began to rely on this season.
Freshman running back Alexander
Robinson tops that list. Robinson
led a late-season turnaround for the
Cyclones by averaging 112 rushing
yards since taking over as the starter
three weeks ago.
But Robinson found no room
against the Jayhawks. Rivera,
Mortensen and the rest of the Kansas
defense held him to 54 yards on 20
carries. Chizik said that Robinson’s
difficulties didn’t deter the fact that he
was the future of the program.
“We could have had the Big Bad
Wolf back there running the ball and
it wouldn’t have mattered,” Chizik
said. “They are very good on defense
and everything they do is very sound
and physical.”
Robinson isn’t the only freshman
the Cyclones plan to rely on head-
ing into the off-season. Freshmen
quarterback Austen Arnaud started
to receive playing time in the last
three games and looks to be Meyer’s
successor.
Sophomore linebacker Jesse Smith,
who averaged seven tackles per game
this season, said he was ready to
become the leader of the defense.
Smith recorded nine tackles and was
one of the only players to hold the
Jayhawk running game in check.
Meyer said the Cyclones would
look different next year without their
three captains but he felt comfortable
passing the torch.
“We’ve got some big young lead-
ers,” Meyer said. “I think we’ll be
alright nowthat us three and the other
seniors are gone.”

Jake Sharp also helped the cause,
combining for 19 yards on four car-
ries and providing just enough of a
threat to keep the Iowa State defense
guessing.
“It’s real easy to find guys open
in the pass game when the defense
is worried about the running game,”
Reesing said. “To have Jake and
Brandon back there running well
and the offensive line creating holes
definitely alleviates my job in the
passing game. Having that balanced
attack is something we’ve relied on
all season and something that works
pretty well.”
By the middle of the second quar-
ter, Kansas was cruising. The defense
had allowed just 42 total yards in
the first quarter and had already
forced one turnover. When Iowa
State engineered a 79-yard scoring
drive, which included 40 yards off
Kansas penalties, near the end of the
second quarter, it would be the last
score yielded by the Kansas defense.
After the touchdown run, Iowa State
had eight more chances to score. Six
of those drives ended with punts,
one with a turnover on downs and
one with the game’s finish.
The Kansas secondary was miss-
ing usual starters Kendrick Harper,
junior cornerback, and PatrickResby,
junior cornerback, because of inju-
ries. But freshman cornerback Chris
Harris and sophomore safety Justin
Thornton filled in without missing
a beat. Harris made a team-high 11
tackles, and Thornton contributed
three. The entire pass defense stood
strong Saturday afternoon, giving up
only 182 passing yards and holding
the Cyclones to 4.2 yards per pass
attempt.
The run defense also lived up to
its reputation as one of the nation’s
finest. Senior defensive tackle James
McClinton stuffed the Iowa State
run game at the line of scrimmage,
allowing junior linebackers Mike
Rivera and Joe Mortensen to roam
free in the backfield. Rivera and
Mortensen combined to make 12
tackles and three tackles-for-loss.
Iowa State gained just 52 yards on
the ground and averaged two yards
per carry.
“It’s impressive how gap-sound
we can be sometimes,” junior defen-
sive end John Larson said. “It’s really
a great deal when you force a team
to throw the ball and you know what
they’re going to do. You can really
turn up the heat on the passer.”
By the end of the third quar-
ter, the outcome of the game was
no longer in question. Trailing 31-
7, Iowa State had not shown any
life since its scoring drive in the
middle of the second quarter. The
Jayhawks used the fourth quarter
to run out the clock and put their
less-experienced players on the field.
Sophomore running back Angus
Quigley picked up 34 rushing yards
and scored his second touchdown
of the season, and freshman wide
receiver Johnathan Wilson caught a
36-yard pass. Sophomore quarter-
back Kerry Meier relieved Reesing
in the final quarter, by which time
the Jayhawks’ starter had provided
plenty of support for his Heisman
Trophy candidacy.
“He had another great night out,”
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said.
“He had good protection, and the
receivers and tight ends ran good
routes that gave him a chance to find
holes in the coverage.”
Kansas did what it was supposed
to do Saturday afternoon — roll
over a helpless Iowa State squad. In
the process, the Jayhawks did what
no Kansas team ever has — win 11
games. All season long, Mangino
has touted the team’s “one game at
a time” approach. Turns out there
might just be something to that
mindset.

Matt Darton, junior ofensive lineman, throws a block for sophomore running back Jake Sharp.
Sharp led Kansas with 83 rushing yards Saturday.
It was over when… Kansas
forced Iowa State to punt twice in
a row after halftime. Trailing by
21 points at the half, the Cyclones
might have had a chance at a
comeback had they scored early
in the third quarter, but the
Kansas defense held Iowa State
to 25 yards on its first two posses-
sions. Kansas’ defensive fortitude
forced two punts and underlined
the fact that Kansas was the much
better team.
Game to remember…Dexton
Fields. Sure, Todd Reesing
pushed himself further into the
Heisman race with another bril-
liant performance, but he had
to throw the ball to someone.
That someone was usually Fields,
junior wide receiver. Fields tied a
Kansas single-game record with
11 catches and gained 109 receiv-
ing yards with two touchdowns.
Game to forget… Alexander
Robinson. Iowa State’s freshman
running back touched the ball 26
times on Saturday afternoon and
gained just 69 yards. The Kansas
run defense held the 181-pound
Alexander to just 2.7 yards per
carry and the Jayhawk lineback-
ers held him to 15 receiving
yards.
Stat of the game… 85.7.
Kansas quarterbacks Todd
Reesing and Kerry Meier com-
bined to complete 85.7 percent
of their passes against the porous
Iowa State defense. Reesing com-
pleted all but one of his 18 first-
half passes before handing Meier
the reins after three quarters.
Meier fared even better than the
starter, completing all nine of his
pass attempts for 101 yards and a
touchdown.

Cross Country
Wissel to run fnal race
at NCAA Championships
Senior Colby Wissel will be the
only Jayhawk competing today
at NCAA Cross
Country Champi-
onships in Terre
Haute, Ind., for
the last race of
the year. Because
the rest of the
team did not
qualify, Wissel
will represent
the University of Kansas and try
to better his fnish from last year.
With a strong performance, Wissel
could become only the ffth runner
in Kansas cross country history to
become a two-time All-American.
Wissel competed in the event
last year with the entire Kansas
squad and fnished 26th overall.
Wissel could do even better this
year. In last year’s fnal race, the
team had to overcome bad weath-
er, but forecasters are expecting
near-perfect running conditions
for this year’s race. Wissel will run
the Indiana State University course
for the seventh and fnal time in
his career. Wissel has posted better
times in his last two races than he
did in last year’s Championships.
The event, a 10K race, is set to
start at 12:05 p.m. It will be Wissel’s
fnal college cross country race,
and he should go down as one
of the best runners in Jayhawk
history.

Coach Ray Bechard called
senior Caitlin Mahoney’s 13-kill
performance the best one of her
career. Bechard called senior Emily
Brown’s performance of 15 kills, 29
assists and 13 digs a fitting display
of her versatility. But on Saturday,
the one thing Bechard couldn’t
call his two seniors was winners.
Iowa State spoiled senior day and
defeated Kansas 3-2 (20-30, 30-
24, 25-30, 30-26, 17-15). Kansas
fell to 12-17 and 5-14 in the Big
12 Conference, while Iowa State
improved to 16-12 and 10-8 in
conference play.
“We desperately wanted this to
be a match that they could remem-
ber in a fond way from a stand-
point of being successful, and Iowa
State made a few more plays in the
end than we did,” Bechard said.
Kansas had two great opportu-
nities to win the match. The first
came in game four with Kansas
leading the match two games to
one. An ace from junior middle
blocker Natalie Uhart gave Kansas
a 10-2 lead, but the team couldn’t
hold on. The Cyclones slowly crept
back into the game, cutting the
Jayhawks’ lead to 22-19 before
going on a 7-0 run for a 26-22
advantage. Iowa State closed out
the game and won 30-26.
“They ratcheted it up defensive-
ly, and we got out of our system a
little bit and got a little predictable
offensively,” Bechard said.
Kansas had its second opportu-
nity in the decisive game five. An
ace by Brown put Kansas ahead 12-
10, and the team needed only three
more points to win the match. But
Iowa State rallied again, winning
game five 17-15 and clinching the
match 3-2.
“Breaks went both ways, and in
the end, the ball hit the floor on
our side last,” Bechard said.
Brown also
had three aces
and six blocks.
Mahoney had
only one error
and a team-
high .480 hit-
ting percent-
age. Freshman
outside hit-
ter Jenna
Kaiser equaled
Brown’s 15 kills
to tie for the team lead, and junior
middle blocker Savannah Noyes
added 11 kills.
Kansas started Saturday’s match
playing some its best volleyball of
the season. The Jayhawks had a
.229 hitting percentage and held
the Cyclones to a .125 hitting per-
centage while dominating game
one 30-20. Iowa State responded
in game two, winning 30-24, but
Kansas again went ahead in the
match with a 30-25 victory in
game four.
But after the match, all the
talk was the about Kansas’ two
seniors, who
played their last
match on the
Horejsi Family
Athletics Center
floor. Bechard
couldn’t help
but get a little
emotional.
“I thought it
was great that
the Horejsi
Center was full
for an 11 o’clock match, and many
of those people had a direct rela-
tionship with those two seniors,
so that tells you a little about the
influence they’ve had on the pro-
gram,” Bechard said.

volleyball notes
Kansas signs two
Kansas coach Ray Bechard
announced Friday that two play-
ers had signed national letters
of intent to play volleyball at the
University of Kansas in 2008-2009.
Allison Mayfeld, a senior at St.
Thomas Aquinas High School in
Overland Park, and Nicole Tate,
senior at Lindbergh High School
in St. Louis, currently make up
the 2008 recruiting class. Bechard
commented on Mayfeld in a Kan-
sas Athletics press release.
“We are extremely excited
to have Allison join our team,”
Bechard said. “She is a six-rota-
tion player who blocks well and
has great back row skills. She is
the type of player that is difcult
to fnd in today’s volleyball feld
where there is so much position
specialization.”
Bechard also recognized Tate’s
talent in the press release.
“Nicole has good size and good
quickness as well as great leader-
ship skills,” Bechard said. “She
is very comfortable with a 5-1
system and is capable of running a
complex ofense.”

The Kansas diving team trav-
eled to Texas this weekend for the
Houston Diving Invitational and
returned with valuable experience
for future meets this season.
Freshman Erin Mertz led the
Jayhawks. She placed in the top
four in three different competi-
tions during
the three-day
event. The invi-
tational began
on Thursday
and concluded
with the final
competitions on
Saturday morn-
ing.
“We all dove
really well, and
we cheered for
each other,” Mertz said. “It was a
good bonding experience.”
Friday’s three-meter competi-
tion included six Jayhawk divers.
Mertz led the way with a second-
place finish with a score of 288.70.
The other five divers claimed the
seventh through 11th spots in the
event. Sophomore Megan Proehl
placed seventh with a score of
248.90, while Hannah McMacken’s
score of 245.45 earned her eighth
place. Senior Jenny Roberts placed
ninth, sophomore Allison Ho
was 10th, and freshman Chelsea
Hartling earned 11th place.
In the one-meter competition,
which was held
on Thursday,
Mertz was again
the top finisher
for the Jayhawks,
placing third out
of twelve divers.
Roberts claimed
fifth place, while
Proehl and McMacken were also
in the top ten, placing sixth and
eighth, respec-
tively.
“We really
used the facili-
ties to our
a d v a n t a g e , ”
Mertz said.
“We’re all learn-
ing new dives,
and we’re defi-
nitely stronger
than we were
last year.”
The competition concluded with
the platform event on Saturday.
Mertz placed fourth, while Proehl
came in at sixth, McMacken
claimed eighth and Ho earned
ninth place.
“I think that I dove the best
that I could,” Mertz said. “I know
a lot of the girls had some personal
records.”
The diving team will not have
another competition until the
three-day Nike Cup-Kenyon
Invitational, which begins Nov. 29
in Ohio.

Missouri defeats KU men’s
club soccer team in fnals
The KU men’s club soccer team
competed in the National Club Soc-
cer Championship in Pensacola, Fla.
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The team made it all the way to
the fnals to face Missouri, where
KU lost in the end on penalty kicks
even though it never trailed for the
entire tournament.
“This is the second year in a row
we’ve lost in the fnal,”Sean Strull,
Garland, Texas, senior, said. “It’s a
tough pill to swallow, especially in
a penalty shootout, but the team
played great and it’s unfortunate
we couldn’t win.”
KU began the tournament,
which featured 16 teams, in a
group with Central Florida, Iowa
State and Connecticut, where the
teams played a round robin with
the top two teams advancing to the
quarterfnals. KU defeated Central
Florida 1-0, Iowa State 1-0 and Con-
necticut 3-1. The team didn’t allow
a goal, with the only score against
Kansas coming from an own goal.
In the quarterfnals, KU shut
out Florida 2-0. Wichita senior Kyle
Glick said an early goal by Darin
Amsberry, Littleton, Colo., senior,
was a huge spark for the team. The
ball was a screamer from outside
the 18-yard penalty box. It started
toward the near post, then curled
all the way into the side netting of
the far post.
“I was sitting on the bench, and
as soon as he hit it, everyone got up
and were silent,”Glick said. “Then
the ball went in, and Darin turned
around and started running with
his shirt over his head. He runs
faster after he scores than in the
game.”
Amsberry had three tournament
goals, all from outside the penalty
box.
“When we get early goals like
that, it crushes the other team,”
Glick said. “It was a huge spring-
board for the rest of the tourna-
ment.”
In the semifnals, KU defeated
James Madison 2-1 for a chance
to play Missouri in the club soccer
version of the Border Showdown.
Missouri started things of with an
own goal, but was able to recover
and tie the game. The Tigers won
after overtime and a 1-1 draw, in
penalty kicks 4-2.

The championship weekend
began Sunday afternoon at the
Student Recreation Fitness Center
for members of intramural floor
hockey teams. After a month of
games, only two teams remained
in each of the tournament’s divi-
sions: men’s greek, men’s and co-
recreational.
The games began when
Geochronic, the top-ranked
team, and Air Force ROTC faced
off in the co-recreational final.
The game’s intensity level was
high from the moment the referee
dropped the ball at middle court,
but neither team could score early
on. With 45 seconds remaining in
the first period, Celina Suarez,
San Antonio graduate student,
put Geochronic up 1-0 when he
slapped the ball past Air Force
ROTC’s goalie during a frantic
scramble in front of the net.
Both teams battled for pos-
session throughout the second
period, and Geochronic notched
three more goals to go ahead 4-
0. Just before the second period
ended, Air Force ROTC finally
found the back of the net when
a lob pass evaded goalie Paul
Kenward, Ottawa, Ontario, grad-
uate student.
Air Force ROTC scored early in
the third period, but Geochronic
still led 4-2 as the game neared
its end. Despite taking numerous
shots and maintaining possession
for a good part of the final eight
minutes, Air Force ROTC could
not knock off the top-ranked
team.
Geochronic, which fields a
team in both the co-recreational
and men’s divisions, remained
focused even after the game.
“Don’t forget we have a game
after this,” Kenward said. “So
don’t tire yourselves out.”
His team took his words to
heart as it went to work against
A.K.Psi just minutes later in the
men’s division final.
Chris Kavanaugh, Wichita
senior, said he wasn’t sure his
team was worthy of playing in
the championship game against
Geochronic.
“We were supposed to play
the actual KU Club Hockey team
before this,” Kavanaugh said.
“But they had to forfeit because
they had an actual game. So that’s
probably the only reason we are
here.”
Geochroni c af f i r med
Kavanaugh’s uneasiness and out-
worked A.K.Psi in the first peri-
od, completely dominating the
time of possession. But A.K.Psi
kept the score tied at 0-0 until
the end of the first period, thanks
to several great saves by its goal-
ie, Chris Saule, Overland Park
senior.
“If we didn’t have him, we’d be
losing by a lot,” Kavanaugh said
after Saule made a kick save on
a breakaway just before the first
buzzer.
The second and third peri-
ods played out differently. Ezra
Kulczycki, Toronto graduate stu-
dent and member of Geochronic,
showcased his talents both offen-
sively and defensively. He scored
a goal in each of the last two
periods and secured the team’s
second championship victory
of the day. Kenward, who was
not tested much throughout the
game, thanked Kulczycki after
the second goal.
“I was going to ask for another
goal,” Kenward said. “But I didn’t
want to push it.”
A.K.Psi tried valiantly to get
back in the game but wasn’t able
to break through to Geochronic’s
defense. Kulczycki’s teammates
joked with him about his M.V.P.
performance as the team received
another championship shirt.
The final game took place min-
utes later. Beta A1 and Pi Kappa
Alpha took over the action in the
men’s greek division final.
Both teams had difficulty
maintaining control of the ball,
and neither team could create
much offensively in the first
period. Beta A1’s Lake Wooten,
Mission Hills senior, scored a
goal with just 25 seconds left in
the period.
The players’ intensity increased
in the second period. Each team
scored a goal, and Beta A1 ended
the period ahead 2-1.
The last period was destined
to be a battle, with neither team
wanting to go quietly into the
rest of its Sunday night. Moments
after the third period started,
Pi Kappa Alpha notched a goal,
sneaking the ball by the opposing
goalie’s right leg. Just 30 seconds
later, Pi Kappa Alpha took a 3-
2 lead when a near-miraculous
turnaround shot found its way
into the net.
Beta A1 then tied the game
at 3-3 during a mad scramble
in front of Pi Kappa Alpha’s net
with four minutes remaining.
Overtime seemed very likely as
the teams remained tied with
only a few minutes left.
Then, with just more than two
minutes left, Wooten scored his
second goal of the game, finding
a space between the goalie’s leg
and the near post. The go-ahead
goal energized the team, and Beta
A1 held off Pi Kappa Alpha play-
ers for the victory.
The winning teams walked
away with their championship
prizes and intramural bragging
rights.

INDIANAPOLIS — Colts kicker
Adam Vinatieri spent all week ignor-
ing the critics and then drowned out
the boos Sunday afternoon.
Eventually, he silenced everyone
with his usual late-game magic.
Vinatieri, last week’s goat, over-
came a subpar day to rescue the Colts,
making a 24-yard field goal with
4 seconds left to give Indianapolis
a desperately needed 13-10 victory
over Kansas City.
“Every time you’re out there, if
something bad happens, you’ve got
to be able to shrug it off and go back
out there and forget about it if you
can,” Vinatieri said. “Don’t let it lin-
ger longer than you have to.”
For Vinatieri, the November
slump had lingered long enough.
He missed his first field goal ever
inside the RCA Dome against New
England two weeks ago.
Last week, he missed a 29-yard
attempt that could have beaten San
Diego. That miss prompted specula-
tion that Vinatieri may have lost his
title as the NFL’s best clutch kicker.
When he lined up for a 49-yard
attempt in the first quarter, fans
greeted him with boos. When he
pushed the kick to the right, the cho-
rus grew louder, and when he pulled
his next attempt, a 38-yarder, to the
left, the decibel level again rose.
Suddenly, Vinatieri had missed
four in a row, his longest streak since
missing three straight in 1999.
When it mattered most, however,
Vinatieri was himself. He played
through the soreness in his plant
foot to tie the score at 3 with a 27-
yarder late in the first half, drawing
mock cheers, then won it with the
24-yarder that finally brought the
crowd to its feet.
“He’s one of the last guys I’d be
worried about,” coach Tony Dungy
said. “I think the law of averages will
swing back our way, and I’d be sur-
prised if he misses again this year.”
But the Colts (8-2) were missing
more than Vinatieri’s consistency.
Peyton Manning again looked
ragged with Marvin Harrison
(bruised left knee) out for the fourth
straight week, and the Chiefs (4-6)
took advantage of Indy’s makeshift
line.
At halftime, Manning’s passer rat-
ing was only 23.4, and despite a
masterful closing drive to set up
Vinatieri’s winning kick, Manning
still finished only 16-of-32 for 163
yards with one interception and a
52.0 rating.
Still, it was good enough to extend
the Chiefs’ losing streak to three.
“We’ve got to get to the point
where we stop people,” said Chiefs
defensive end Jared Allen, who
deflected four passes and was in the
backfield almost as much as Colts
running back Joseph Addai. “We’ve
got to win the close games.”
Brodie Croyle, making his first
NFL start, was 19-of-27 for 169 yards
with one touchdown, but he also lost
a fumble that set up Vinatieri’s first
field goal. The numbers suggested he
actually outplayed Manning, but the
scoreboard told Croyle something
else — the Chiefs must get better.
“I felt comfortable out there,”
he said. “But we obviously didn’t
move the ball well enough. You learn
something every time you go out
there.”
Indianapolis managed only 73
yards in the first half, marking the
first time this season it had not
produced a first-half touchdown.
Yet thanks to Croyle’s fumble and
Vinatieri’s field goal, the Colts were
still tied with the Chiefs 3-3.
In the second half, it appeared the
offenses would right themselves.
Manning went to Addai eight
times on a nine-play drive in the
third quarter, and Addai scored on a
3-yard run to give Indy a 10-3 lead.
Croyle answered with a nifty pass
to Dwayne Bowe on the side of the
end zone. Bowe did a spectacular
toe-tapping dance along the side-
lines and hung onto the ball with his
knees, which stood up to Dungy’s
challenge, to tie the score at 10.
Manning finally took the lead
with 6:47 left, marching the Colts all
the way to the Kansas City 2-yard
line before taking a knee three times
and then giving Vinatieri a chance at
redemption.
