stories
Many campus
buildings have
deep historical
roots, some of
which involve
ghostly tales
By BEn smith
Pete Shipman was reading a
magazine in Bailey Hall at 2:30
in the morning when he heard
someone running through the
first-floor corridor.
I looked up from the table to
see that the hall lights were off,
Shipman, a security supervisor
for the KU Public Safety Office,
said. As I could still hear the run-
ning, laughing and giggling I got
up to see who was there and if
they needed me to help them turn
the lights on.
Shipman found nobody in the
hall but heard the running move
above him to the second floor.
He followed the noises and with
every floor he climbed to, the
noise seemed always to climb a
floor higher. It sounded like chil-
dren, he said.
By the time Shipman reached
the third floor, he was convinced
one of his fellow security officers
was playing a prank.
Shipman said before that inci-
dent hed never heard the rumors
that Bailey Hall was haunted. He
followed the noises to the top
floor, all the while seeing nothing
and no one.
He reached the top floor when
the noises suddenly ceased. Then,
from a floor below him, Shipman
said he heard the noises again.
I headed to the first floor to
get my stuff and get out of the
building, Shipman said. About
that time I heard a really big
thump above me. That only has-
tened my exit.
Its only natural to share
spooky stories like this one on
Halloween.
One building with a history of
haunting that has been recounted
through the years is the Sigma Nu
house.
The house, located at 1501
Sigma Nu Place, was once the resi-
dence of Walter Roscoe Stubbs,
the states governor from 1909 to
1913. The house is now rented to
members of Alpha Gamma Delta
sorority. Sigma Nu lost its charter
last year.
Meagan Katelman, Omaha,
Neb., sophomore and member of
Alpha Gamma Delta, said though
she had never had a run-in with
the ghost, she had heard the sto-
ries of Virginia, the supposed
spiritual occupant of the historic
house.
The story goes something like
this:
Virginia, a maid in the gover-
nors mansion, is said to have had
an affair with the married Stubbs.
One day in April of 1911 the gover-
nor arrived home to find Virginia
hanging from the chandelier or
from a rope in the coat closet. His
wife, the first lady of Kansas, was
found catatonic, traumatized from
the ordeal of the girls death.

Clockwise, from top: the former Sigma Nu
house, 1501 Sigma Nu place, is said to be home
to a ghost named Virginia. The house is now oc-
cupied by Alpha Gamma Delta sorority after Sigma
Nu lost its charter for hazing incidents.
Stull Cemetery, located west of Lawrence,
has been speculated to be haunted because of its
reputation as one of the seven gateways to hell.
Bailey Hall has had several reports of mysterious
occurrences witnessed by KU Public Safety ofcers.
once named the Free State Hotel, the
Eldridge Hotel, 701 Massachusetts St., is said
to have a portal to the spirit world in one of its
ffth-foor rooms.
the former Watkins home behind Watson
Library has several strange stories associated with
it, such as lights fashing on and of and odd noises.
volunteerism
Program needs
Big Brothers
By dAnny luPPino
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas
County has 300 volunteers, but that
still leaves 220 area children on the
waiting list for a mentor.
Administrators of the program
said they hoped more KU students
would volunteer in order to fulfill
the needs of those on the waiting
list.
Were always looking to get more
KU students involved, said Becki
Stutz, director of Big Brothers Big
Sisters of Douglas County.
The programs office estimated
that slightly more than half of its
volunteers were KU students. Colin
Elwell, Big Brothers Big Sisters
recruiting assistant and 2006 KU
graduate, said college students were
particularly suited to mentor the
programs children.
A lot of them, I think, want to
be matched to a college-aged kid,
Elwell said.
But right now the children just
hope to be matched to anybody at
all. Two-thirds of the children on
the waiting list are boys, and Elwell
said boys waited an average of nine
months to be matched.
Elwell said students could volun-
teer for two programs. The commu-
nity-based program is the traditional
program that matches a volunteer to
a child for three to four hours per
week after school. Another option is
the Bigs in School program, which
sends the volunteer to the childs
school and only requires 30 minutes
to one hour each week.
More students choose that pro-
gram just because of the time flex-
ibility it has, Elwell said.
Shawn Geiss, Ransom junior, has
volunteered for Big Brothers Big
Sisters. He said his experience with
the program helped to give him new
perspectives.
I never had any brothers or sis-
ters, so it was a chance to interact
with younger children, Geiss said.
It was just different because I grew
up in western Kansas in a rural
area and my little brother was from
Lawrence, so it was good to see how
kids from different places grow up.
Geiss said that the program wasnt
time consuming and that he would
recommend it to students looking to
get involved in the community.
The program holds information-
al meetings every Tuesday at 5:15
p.m. and Wednesday at noon in the
programs office, 1525 W. 6th St.,
Suite A. Prospective volunteers are
required to attend a meeting before
submitting an application.

costume at city meeting
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Steve
Volan drew gufaws and cackles
when he walked into City Coun-
cil meeting dressed in a yellow
chicken costume.
The councilmans outft led
to a string of jokes before the
serious business of debat-
ing whether chicken-keeping
within city limits should be
allowed got under way.
During Wednesdays discus-
sion, 21 audience members
spoke in favor of allowing
residents to raise egg-laying
chickens and four spoke against
the ordinance. Volan joined the
5-1 council majority in voting to
recommend the ordinance for
fnal approval.
The word chicken was ut-
tered more than 200 times and
council member David Sabbagh
jokingly asked whether three
unrelated birds would be al-
lowed to co-roost a reference
to a city ordinance restricting
the number of unrelated adults
allowed in single-family homes.
Opponents of chicken-
keeping said they fear that
neighbors with chickens would
impact property values, and
threaten the public health.
Supporters said that when

they actually contribute to pub-
lic health since store-bought
eggs can be unhealthy.

Suzanne Dias times two
run for school board
FRESNO, Calif. Voters
in the tiny American Union
Elementary School District may
think theyre seeing double
when they go to the polls next
month.
When they get to the candi-
dates running for school board
on Nov. 7, theyll fnd Suzanne
Dias and Suzanne Dias.
Thats Suzanne Dias, 50, a
school food service manager,
and Suzanne Dias, 36, a house-
wife.
The two women are among
six candidates running for
three school board seats in the
rural Fresno County district,
which has one school with
about 350 students.
Workers at the county
elections of ce said they cant
recall a time when two candi-
dates with the same name ran
for the same of ce.
Its rare and clearly it would
tend to confuse the vot-
ers, said County Clerk Victor
Salazar.
Voters will see some dif-
ferences between the two
candidates.
The elder Dias will be
listed on the ballot as Susanne
Hodoian Dias. She added her
maiden name after learning
that the other Suzanne Dias
was also running.
The two will also be distin-
guished by their occupations,
which will be listed below their
names on the ballot.
Another candidate, Brett
Mosekian, calls the situa-
tion kind of peculiar, but he
doubts voters will have much
trouble picking one candidate
from the other because every-
one in the district pretty much
knows everyone else.
The district only has 893
registered voters.
Neighbors use trailers
to preempt hog feedlot
ANSLEY, Neb. LeRoyce
and Cynthia Margritz dont
want a hog feedlot close
to their home, so they and a
neighbor used a Custer County
zoning law to their beneft and
took out housing permits to put
in two makeshift trailers near the
proposed site.
The Margritzes, who began
ranching and growing crops on
their 1,360 acres eight years ago,
said they acted after hearing ru-
mors of a 6,000-head hog feedlot
going in about a mile from their
house.
After confrming the rumors,
they and the neighbor started
planning to put in the trailers a
quarter-mile from the proposed
feedlot. The move pre-empted R.J.
Thomas county permit applica-
tion to build the feedlot.
odd news
Thomas, a farmer, said the
Margritzes move was a bad-faith
efort to exploit zoning laws.
Theyre not places where peo-
ple might actually live,Thomas
said of the trailers. Its just a ploy
to stop the permit.
While acknowledging that
they were trying to block Thomas
proposed feedlot, they said it was
their only legal recourse because
they did not have an opportunity
to challenge its construction.
Wisconsin residents hold
funeral for ofensive word
BELOIT, Wis. More than
200 people attended a symbolic
funeral to lay to rest the ofensive
term for blacks: the n-word.
I didnt know it was possible to
be happy to go to a funeral, said
Milele Chikasa Anana, publisher of
Umoja magazine in Madison. Hal-
lelujah! I am delighted that we are
having a funeral!
The Oct. 21 funeral was part
of an event organized by the
Black Star Project of Beloit, which
was recently formed to pursue
educational and job opportunities
for blacks in Beloit and strengthen
spiritual growth for families.
Before the funeral at New
Zion Baptist Church, there was a
ceremony at Bethel AME Church
and a rally at Merrill Elementary
School.
The N-words cof n was buried
at East Lawn Cemetery, along with
other hateful words that attend-
ees wished to bury.
Wanda Sloan, a member of the
Black Star Project and one of the
funerals organizers, said she is
bothered that some in what she
called the hip-hop generation use
the word as a term of endear-
ment.
Its disturbing because it
shows that the educational
system is still being negligent at
teaching African-American chil-
dren and majority children about
the true history, Sloan said.

Study advocates video games as teaching tool
Researchers: To adapt to societal changes, educators should introduce new methods into the classroom
Photo Illustration by Ryan McGeeney/KANSAN
Based on the results of a recent study about the use of educational video games, the Federation of American Scientists is advocating
investment of public funds toward the development of games and their uses in classrooms. The study cites such attributes as the personalization of learn-
ing, imparting motivation and learning to overcome failure as reasons to incorporate video games into the U.S. educational system.
By Kim Lynch
Imagine spending class time playing
a video game and being praised for it.
The Federation of American Scientists
hopes to make this a reality.
The federation released a study this
month advocating public investment
in researching and developing edu-
cational video games for use in the
classroom.
According to the study, there are
several attributes of video games that
could be useful for student learning,
such as the personalization of learning,
motivation to keep going even after
failure and infinite patience on the part
of the video game.
The study said the U.S. education
system needed to take advantage of
new technologies like educational
video games to help students learn.
Mike Neal, assistant dean for the
School of Education, said he could
foresee educational video games being
used in a wide range of classes, from
social studies to nutrition.
Video games in classrooms should
only be used to enhance the students
learning, he said.
Neal said he thought faculty mem-
bers at the University of Kansas would
be open to using educational video
games in the classroom if they saw the
educational value in the games.
Kathleen Murray, Overland Park
sophomore, said she would take a class
that used video games because she
would be interested to see how the
teacher would incorporate educational
video games into the learning environ-
ment.
Brian Drake, lecturer with the
Humanities and Western Civilization
department, said that Western
Civilization was a complicated topic
and that he didnt think it could be
taught with a video game.
However, if a video game was devel-
oped that accurately illustrated some
of the themes in Western Civilization,
Drake said that he would use it because
students learned in different ways and
that it could be helpful for some.
The study said more research was
needed in order to reduce develop-
mental costs and to assess the knowl-
edge students acquired, and to create
an effective product that helped stu-
dents learn.
Susan Zvacek, director of instruc-
tional development and support, said
games were motivational and encour-
aged the player to keep on playing,
which was an advantage. At its core,
a good game is a learning experience
because the user employs skills learned
throughout the course of the game in
order to advance.
Zvacek said the main problems with
using educational video games were
figuring out exactly what the student
was learning and keeping development
costs down.
Heather Bratton, De Soto sopho-
more, said if a class was offered
that incorporated educational video
games into the lesson, she prob-
ably wouldnt take it because she
didnt play video games and prob-
ably wouldnt do well in the class.

Student group holds event to commemorate the dead
The KU Wiccan Pagan Alliance will celebrate a holiday Saturday when the distance between the living and dead worlds is at its thinnest
By courtney hagen
Ghosts and the dead will be a fix-
ture for one KU student group this
week, but for celebration rather than
for spooky stories.
The Wiccan Pagan Alliance will
celebrate the Wiccan holiday of
Samhain this Saturday. The holiday
is celebrated annually on or about
Halloween in remembrance of those
who have died.
Rebecca Kershner, WPA mem-
ber and Overland Park junior, said
Samhain was believed to be the day
when the dead were able to pass into
the living world to communicate.
Samhain is a celebration of the
turning of the year, so technically
this is our New Year, Kershner
said.
It is the time when the distance
between the living world and the
dead is at its thinnest, she said, which
allowed the dead to join the living for
celebrations.
Samhain is one of eight holidays
in the Wiccan religion, Kershner
said. The holiday is held between the
fall equinox and solstice.
Since Samhain is the night when
the doorway between this world and
the next is at its thinnest, there have
always been those opportune spirits
who come forth to cause mischief,
she said.
People originally wore masks to
scare away bad spirits in their villages
and to keep their homes safe from
mischief and evil, Kershner said. As
time progressed, children assumed
the role of dressing up, which devel-
oped into the holiday of Halloween.
It became more of a festival than
a necessity to drive away malicious
spirits, she said.
Sean Manning, WPA president
and Overland Park senior, said the
group held a dumb feast dinner
every year to celebrate the members
loved ones who had passed away.
Manning said that the meal was
held in silence and that participants
in the dinner would leave food for
the dead to show their dead loved
ones that they were still a part of
their lives.
Though the holiday was intended
to be inviting to the dead, Manning
said participants didnt normally try
to communicate supernaturally with
those who had passed on.
It is more about commemora-
tion than communication, Manning
said. Most of what were doing has
to do with remembering.
Manning said the dinner was only
open to WPA members, but that
the organization invited anyone to
attend its weekly open-door meeting
at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Alcove A of
the Kansas Union.

Work to rebuild the west lanes
will begin shortly.
Patterson said project timelines
depended on the weather.
Terese Gorman, city engineer,
said the city anticipated the work to
be completed sometime during the
fall of 2007. Construction will not
come to a complete standstill during
the winter months, she said.
Construction crews will also
begin work on a retaining wall along
the west side of Kasold. Gorman said
that crews would be able to begin
work on the wall, but that dirt and
pavement work would have to end
before inclement weather began.
Its unrealistic to think we can
continue when the temperature
begins to dip below zero, she said.
The decrease in construction has
lessened the effects the Lawrence
Public Transit system felt this sum-
mer, allowing the T more freedom
of movement.
Cliff Galante, public transit
administrator, said since the begin-
ning of fall, transit officials have
had to alter fewer routes to adjust
because the majority of construction
took place during late spring and
summer.

Dean Davis of Lawrence positions traf c cones to block of a section of Kasold Street near the intersection at 22nd Street. The city of Lawrence contracted with Johnson Excavating, who employs Davis, to partially level Kasold, lowering its peaks and building
up the lower portions. With work on the eastern, north-bound lanes complete, demolition and construction will soon begin on the western, south-bound lanes between Bob Billings Parkway and 22nd Street. The project began in May of this year and is slated
for completion in October of 2007, Davis said.

TOPEKA Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius set a new mark for Kansas
gubernatorial politics, raising more
than $5.18 million in contributions
for her re-election bid, the cam-
paign reported Monday.
She raised four times as much
money as her Republican challeng-
er, Sen. Jim Barnett of Emporia, who
raised $1.19 million through the
reporting period ending Thursday.
Former State Treasurer Tim
Shallenburger raised $2.37 million
when he faced Sebelius in 2002. She
won that race with 53 percent of the
vote over Shallenburger, the current
GOP state chairman.
Governor Sebelius is humbled
by the support of the people of
Kansas and those who share her
commitment to growing our econ-
omy, strengthening our schools
and moving Kansas forward, said
Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole
Corcoran. Shes grateful for the
thoughts, prayers and financial sup-
port from those who share her com-
mitment and want her to serve four
more years as governor.
Sebelius had more than $183,000
left to spend a week before the elec-
tion. Since July 21, she raised more
than $2.17 million.
Christian Morgan, Barnetts cam-
paign manager, said 80 percent of
the Republicans funds came from
within Kansas.
Were extremely happy with
that number. Its coming from all
areas of the state, Morgan said.
Considering that Senator Barnett
has been raising money for 11
months, were pretty happy with
that.
Barnett had $88,039 remain-
ing to spend, but Morgan said the
campaign already had purchased
broadcast time to air ads leading up
to the election.
Sebelius huge lead in fundrais-
ing allowed her the luxury of airing
television ads constantly, beginning
before the August primary with a
commercial touting her support for
the military. She has been airing a
new ad at a rate of one every two
weeks.
Sebelius continued to pick up
endorsements
from news-
papers across
the state, with
the Pittsburg
Morning Sun
and Lawrence
Journal-World
giving her their
backing. The
Wichita Eagle,
The Hays Daily
News and The
Hu t c h i n s o n
News also endorsed Sebelius,
touting her efforts to restart the
economy and promote education
improvements.
Also Monday, Sen. Karin
Brownlee and House Speaker Pro
Tem Ray Merrick announced they
would introduce bills next session
to revisit the use of state aircraft by
the governor. The announcement
was in response to a weekend news
article regarding her aircraft use
during her first term.
Brownlee, R-Olathe, and Merrick,
R-Stilwell, said the governor has
other transportation options for
personal and political events. They
noted her trips to Ohio for fund-
raising, football games featuring
Kansas teams, the NCAA basketball
tournament, an October Rolling
Stones concert and her vacation
home in Michigan.
Corcoran said the state plane
picked up Sebelius twice in
Michigan to take her to official
business, though the governor ini-
tially went there on commercial
flights.
Corcoran said the governor uses
state aircraft for trips for safety
reasons. In May 2004, the Kansas
Highway Patrol
asked Sebelius
to do so because
of contin-
ued threat to
c o mme r c i a l
aviation and
the ability to
restrict expo-
sure to danger.
If its per-
sonal or politi-
cal in nature,
those costs are
reimbursed, even though the stat-
ute passed by the Legislature does
not require her to do so, Corcoran
said.
The legislators questioned
whether an agency under the gov-
ernors supervision would offer an
unbiased opinion. They held their
news conference eight days before
the Nov. 7 election.
The timing means nothing,
as far as Im concerned, Merrick
said. We think we need to go back
and review the bill and put some
accountability in for the taxpayers
of the state.
Democrats were quick to point
out that the Kansas Highway
Patrols request came under a 2001
law passed in response to Missouri
Gov. Mel Carnahans death in a
plane crash just before the 2000
election. Barnett and Wagle voted
for the legislation, as did Merrick,
but Brownlee opposed it.

KFC eliminates unhealthy oils
Restaurant drops trans fats ahead of New York City ban
By JOHN HANNA
AssOciAted Press
TOPEKA A top deputy is
defending Attorney General Phill
Klines record on consumer protec-
tion, saying a decline in complaints
filed and restitution reflect a change
in philosophy away from harassing
businesses and a nanny state.
However, the director of the
Consumer Protection Division
under Carla Stovall Steckline, for-
mer attorney general, said Monday
the divisions latest report shows
Kline isnt committed to helping
consumers who feel theyve been
cheated.
Consumer protection is an issue
as Kline, a Republican, seeks a sec-
ond term against Democratic chal-
lenger Paul Morrison, the Johnson
County district attorney. Steckline,
a Republican and Klines predeces-
sor, endorsed Morrison earlier this
month, citing what she called a
lessening of consumer protection
activities.
Amid the debate Monday, Kline
consumer protection director
Bryan Brown issued the divisions
annual report for fiscal year 2005,
which ended June 30 of that year.
In an unusual move, he included a
33-page memo discussing the divi-
sions change in philosophy, saying
reforms had remedied state action
often accused of overreaching due
to a seeming antibusiness bias.
This jurisdictional check upon
the power of the nanny state
was nonexistent in the Consumer
Protection Division in the years
prior to the reforms, Brown wrote.
Many Kansas businesses have
rather humorous stories to tell
about the spurious nature of com-
plaints received from the Consumer
Protection Division prior to our
reorganization.
The division reported almost
$541,000 in consumer savings
from its efforts in fiscal 2005,
and $381,000 more in restitution
awarded to consumers, adding up
to $922,000.
But the combined total was lower
than any during Stovalls eight-year
tenure, which saw restitution aver-
age almost $3.2 million each fiscal
year. Also, the number of com-
plaints filed by consumers dropped
from a high of 8,585 in fiscal 2000
to 4,308 in fiscal 2005.
Mr. Kline doesnt believe in
consumer protection, said Steve
Rarrick, who led the division under
Steckline. I dont believe that laws
passed by the Legislature with
regard to consumer protection are
laws that the attorney general can
just ignore.
Morrisons criticism of Kline and
Brown is part of
a contentious
and sometimes
bitter campaign
that has fea-
tured attack ads
on both sides.
That led
the Lawrence
Journal-World
to endorse
neither candi-
date, saying in a Sunday editorial:
Unfortunately, its hard to scrape
through all the mud being slung to
get to basics. Wipe off the candidate
you prefer and mark your ballot
for him.
Besides being bitter, the cam-
paign has been unprecedented for
the amount of money the candi-
dates have raised.
Kline collected $1.1 million in
contributions from the beginning of
2005 through Oct. 26, according to
reports filed by his campaign with
the secretary of states office. That
normally would have been a record
for an attorney generals race.
However, Morrison raised twice
that more than $2.2 million
during the same period.
Mark Simpson, Morrisons
campaign manager, noted that
the Democrat faced statewide
attack ads from the Washington-
based Republican State Leadership
Committee.
Our fundraising indicates
broad support across party lines
and across the state, he said. It
shows that Kansans are tired of
Phill Klines bad judgment and
wrong priorities.
But Kline spokeswoman
Sherriene Jones said Kansans
already knew of Klines record on
criminal justice and other issues,
while Morrison needed to build his
name recognition.
Mr. Morrison was virtually
unknown to the entire state except
for the Kansas City area and a few
pockets here and there, she said.
Morrisons campaign began air-
ing two new television ads statewide
Monday. One
touts endorse-
ments from
several news-
papers. The
other takes
Kline to task
for raising 15-
year-old allega-
tions of sexual
harassment in
two dismissed
federal lawsuits against Morrison,
who paid no damages to the former
employee who sued him.
The Democratic challenger has
repeatedly attacked Kline for hiring
Brown in 2003 to lead the division.
Morrison used one television spot
to publicize Browns dozen arrests,
without mentioning they occurred
1980s and 1990s and arose from
anti-abortion protests. Kline has
said Browns activities then repre-
sented civil disobedience.
Clearly, under his tenure as AG,
there have been problems in this
division, and it starts at the top,
with his hiring of someone with 12
arrests to run it, Simpson said.
Jones said those past arrests
dont affect how Brown runs the
division, but added, He has that
same passion for his beliefs that he
has for Kansas consumers.
Brown said in his report that if
there were problems, it was in the
previous administrations approach
to consumer protection issues.

NEW YORK After two years of
secret taste tests, KFC said Monday
it would stop frying chicken in
artery-clogging trans fats, but New
York City restaurants being urged to
do the same say its not so easy.
KFCs announcement, which
won praise from consumer advo-
cates, came an hour ahead of a pub-
lic hearing on a proposal that would
make New York the first U.S. city to
ban the unhealthy artificial fats.
Industry leaders dished up a
plateful of reasons why such a plan
shouldnt be adopted in the nations
restaurant capital.
The move would be a recipe for
disaster that could be devastating to
New York Citys restaurant indus-
try, said E. Charles Hunt, executive
vice president of the New York State
Restaurant Association.
The shift by KFC and a handful
of other fast food chains _ and the
effort by New York health officials
_ mark an aggressive crackdown on
an ingredient that is consumed in
large doses around the country.
An average American eats 4.7
pounds of trans fats a year, and the
oil is used as a shortening in baked
goods like cookies, crackers and
doughnuts, as well as in deep fry-
ing. Experts say a ban in New York
would reverberate across the coun-
try because the citys food industry
is so large.
The ban initially would have been
a harsh one for KFC. But the com-
pany now says that by next April,
all 5,500 of its U.S. restaurants will
have switched from trans fat-rich
partially hydrogenated vegetable oil
to a new soybean oil believed to be
less likely to cause heart disease.
Some KFC sites have already
made the switch in secret trials
to see if customers would notice
a difference. They did not, and
KFC President Gregg Dedrick said
he was confident the switch wont
prompt complaints about taste.
There is no compromise, he
said at a Manhattan news confer-
ence. Nothing is more important
to us than the quality of our food
and preserving the terrific taste of
our product.
Health advocates applauded the
companys switch. The Center for
Science in the Public Interest, which
sued KFC last spring over the trans
fat content of its food, announced
Monday that it was withdrawing
from the lawsuit.
Colonel Sanders deserves a buck-
et full of praise, said CSPI executive
director Michael Jacobson. If KFC,
which deep-fries almost everything,
can get the artificial trans fat out of
its frying oil, anyone can.
Burger King also said Monday
that it hopes to begin testing trans
fat-free cooking in some restau-
rants within 90 days. Wendys has
already switched to a zero-trans fat
oil. McDonalds had announced that
it intended to do so as well in 2003,
but has yet to follow through.
The New York hearing on the
proposed trans fat ban was packed
with doctors and paid industry
spokesmen. Long lines at the build-
ings security checkpoint and an
overflowing hearing room might
have deterred ordinary citizens or
restaurant owners from speaking.
But industry representatives like
Hunt spoke out.
This ban threatens popular
dishes and affordable menus, he
said. The city needs to get serious
about working with, not against,
our restaurant owners.
He and others said a ban would
leave cooks unable to find proper
replacement ingredients, and force
some to switch to bad alternatives.
Sheila Cohn Weiss, director of
nutrition policy for the National
Restaurant Association, suggested
that restaurant owners in need of
a quick fix would simply switch to
another unhealthy substance like
palm oil, which contains unhealthy
amounts of saturated fat.
This is a switch that cannot hap-
pen immediately, she said.
KFC has concerns about supply,
too.
Dedrick said KFC and the creator
of the new oil, the Monsanto Corp.,
had to work with seed oil processors
to persuade farmers to grow more
of the special soybeans used in the
product. Among other things, farm-
ers were offered a price premium to
grow the new soybeans.
Monsanto spokesman Chris
Horner said he expected the farm-
land devoted to the companys new
seed to triple next year to 1.5 mil-
lion acres, up from 500,000 acres
this year and 100,000 in 2005.
Still, he added, demand for trans-
fat-free oils has the potential to
outpace supply.
New Yorks health commissioner,
Dr. Thomas Frieden, said officials
have heard the supply argument
before and rejected it as unsup-
ported.
Were confident that there is
ample supply of healthy trans fat
alternatives, Frieden said, although
he added that officials might con-
sider giving restaurants more time.
The New York City Board of Health
is expected to vote for the ban in
December with an 18-month period
for a full phase-in.
Louis Nunez, president of
New Yorks Latino Restaurant
Association, said a quick survey
by his group shows at least 980 of
its members dont know what trans
fats are.
If this goes in with no education,
there is going to be an avalanche of
fines, Nunez said.
Even with the development of
new oils, finding replacements for
every recipe may be tough.
Mr. Kline doesnt believe in
consumer protection.

COMMENTARY
On Friday night you partied.
On Saturday morning you puked.
On Saturday night you partied once more
Wearing your Halloween suit.
Monday came, was quickly gone,
And Tuesday came a-yelling:
Its Halloween! Todays the day!
But it didnt sound compelling.
You dont wanna put your costume on.
Its wrinkled, stained and smelling.
Its ripped down the side, your ass barely hides,
And will it hold? There is no telling.
Youve tried to subdue your Halloween you,
Its just a day! youre yelling.
Ah, but plug up your nose, and stitch up your hose
And scrape off all of the slime.
Its Halloween! Todays the day!
So throw it on one more time.

If there existed some sort of crys-
tal ball that lit up in the presence
of an extraordinarily brave person,
I imagine we would find it glowing
quite a bit here at the University of
Kansas. Now I dont have any such
talisman, but I can predict that in
taking it from student to student,
we would find it lighting up at least
three percent of the time. Thats
because three percent of our student
body here at the University is inter-
national.
When I came here as a freshman,
I felt adrift in a campus I didnt fit
into right away and a University
culture I didnt fully understand.
And I grew up only half an hour
from Lawrence.
International students do not
have the cultural ease which I had,
yet they immerse themselves in the
American university experience just
as much. Im not sure any crystal
ball would be glowing around me.
Pat Buchanan was on The Daily
Show recently, saying we need to
make sure Mexican-Americans
learn our cultural heritage and
our heroes from history. While it
is important to understand any
culture one enters, coming into
American culture seems particu-
larly difficult. Beneath the surface,
American culture gives off a Pat
Buchanan sort of vibe: Its your job
to understand us, or else.
I think Buchanan has it wrong.
We ought to say, If you didnt want
to understand us, you probably
wouldnt be here in the first place.
Our real opportunity is getting to
know you.
When I was a kid, stranded
somewhere back in junior high
school, my family invited a student
from Costa Rica over to our house a
few times.
I remember a few dinner table
conversations with him. He was
very nice and very intent on
everything we said. Sometimes his
face would cloud and you had to
rephrase what you were going to
say before suddenly he would smile
and nod.
My parents talked a lot and asked
a lot of questions. I was afraid I
wouldnt make sense or wouldnt
know what to ask. My understand-
ing of the world still resided in
brightly colored GeoSafari maps.
Sometimes I would ask simple
questions, such as What food do
you eat at home? But most of the
time I was afraid that, in opening
my mouth, Id say something stupid.
After high school, one of my
friends left the country for Costa
Rica. Again, the only picture of
Costa Rica in my head was the
shape of its borders from a map. My
imagination it seems, ended just
south of Dallas.
My friend ended up marrying
a Costa Rican guy, and last winter
she introduced me to her husband,
one of the nicest people Ive ever
met. Once again, I was at the din-
ner table and afraid that I wouldnt
be able to communicate in clear
English.
Only this time, I gave it a try.
When I would say something he
didnt understand, we would both
just smile and Id try a different
phrasing.
So, I encourage you: When you
see someone from another country
walk by, think about how much
courage they had in order to put
away their familiar lives and try liv-
ing here. Dont be silent because of
difference. Be content with knowing
nothing about another place. Ask.
Find out about their culture. After
all, they are trying to find out about
yours.

COMMENTARY
I had a big surprise in my first
semester at the University of Kansas:
Some of my fellow classmates didnt
know what mammals or amphibians
were. When I heard that my jaw
dropped. Dont get me wrong, there
is absolutely no way everyone can
know everything, but knowing basic
taxonomy should be a requirement
for you to graduate from middle
school.
This could easily be used as an
example of how our education sys-
tem is inefficient, which it clearly is,
but there is something else to it.
A huge fraction of America, espe-
cially in our generation, is develop-
ing an aversion to knowledge. Its a
dangerous trend that puts some of
the great achievements of civiliza-
tion at serious risk.
The first thing one has to do is
look at the coming elections and
our current president. It seems like
people dont want intelligent people
running for office, and ultimately
dont elect them. As soon as a politi-
cian is branded an intellectual he
automatically becomes unpopular.
He doesnt connect with the com-
mon American, is a frequent char-
acterization.
And look at President Bush. I
am not going to discuss his political
stance, but the man isnt particularly
bright. Not only that, he is proud of
it. Stephen Colbert put it well during
the White House correspondents
dinner: For Bush, the truth lies in
his gut, not in the facts. He believes
in faith, not reason. I wonder if he
has ever heard of the Enlightenment;
after all, he has a degree in history.
As soon as we start school, we
enter a culture in which students
glorify those who can get by with-
out studying and ridicule those who
immerse themselves in a subject.
The slacker is seen as a hero while
the nerd is made fun of.
The most disturbing thing is that
the trend is clearly seen in colleges.
Classes are seen as a hassle and as
the negative part of going to col-
lege; the main reason we are here is
relegated to a mere inconvenience.
Its common to see students try-
ing to shortcut their way to a good
grade and not caring if they achieve
the most important thing knowl-
edge. SparkNotes substitute read-
ing the books, homework is copied,
and Wikipedia, instead of a starting
point, becomes the No. 1 source for
research.
A great number of students see
Western Civilization as the worst
thing they will go through in col-
lege. A class that is supposed to
expose you to the construction, great
achievements and ideas of our civi-
lization is avoided at all costs. No
wonder outdated medieval concepts
such as intelligent design are weav-
ing their way back into our society.
Some students ridicule non-
American history as if it were com-
pletely unrelated to America. That
lack of interest leaves them vul-
nerable to accepting comments by
pundits such as Bill OReilly, who
calls the French cowards because of
WWII and their unwillingness to
go to Iraq. Never mind the French
Resistance. I guess we can forget
the fact that the birth of this coun-
try would not have been impossible
without their cooperation.
Its not only European history.
How many Americans know that
the CIA supported terrible dictator-
ships in South America, or have a
basic knowledge of conflicts in the
Middle East? Perhaps if Americans
showed more interest in world his-
tory, in general, the rest of the world
would have a less negative view of
them. And maybe we would realize
that we have made some horrendous
mistakes.
Truth be told, the problem with
learning is that it challenges your
beliefs, and that is not a comfort-
able feeling. But it is a necessary
experience if we want to grow as
individuals and contribute to society.
Whenever our beliefs are challenged
we realize that there is a multitude
of view points that are all shaped by
different experiences, and you can-
not have a rational exchange of ideas
if you do not know where the other
side is coming from.
If you leave college the same way
you came in, without doubting the
things that you once thought to
be most sacred, you wasted your
money.

junior and Student Union Activities flmcoordinator, as his prize for winning the costume contest as Dr. Frank-N-Furter Monday night at the showing in
the Kansas Union. Tifany Paulie, Stilwell junior andRHPSvirgin, left, took third place as Magentas Lips.
By Darla slipke
Dark makeup, fishnet stockings,
spandex mini dresses and undergar-
ments were among the outfits stu-
dents wore to a showing of the The
Rocky Horror Picture Show at the
Kansas Union Monday night.
A group of nearly 300 students,
including dozens of scantily clad
girls and guys wearing spandex box-
ers and dresses that exposed leg and
chest hair, gathered in the Kansas
Union Ballroom to watch the film.
Before the movie, Student Union
Activities sponsored a Time Warp
dance contest, trivia contests and
a costume contest. Prizes included
color-coded bondage tape and 52
alluring sex games for lovers.
The audience members went
wild, flailing their arms, shaking
their bodies and thrusting their hips
during the Time Warp.
Alessandra Hanly, Shawnee fresh-
man, said the dance was her favorite
part of the film. She competed in
the Time Warp and the costume
contests. Her hair was teased so that
it formed a wild mane around her
face and wore a black dress with a
white apron, portraying the charac-
ter Magenta.
Numerous other students dressed
as characters from the film. During
the costume contest, a myriad of
Magentas paraded across the front
of the room, including a walking
version of Magentas lips.
Will Dawson, Detroit freshman,
dressed as the character Brad. He
wore boxers and a T-shirt, which he
removed when his friend told him
Brad didnt wear a shirt.
Its fun to dress up and go crazy
and sing the songs and throw rice
and toast at the screen, he said.
SUA provided prop packs, which
included toast, newspapers, rubber
gloves, rice and noise makers, for
students to use during the show.
Reece McHenry, Wichita fresh-
man, who wore a feather boa and
glitter, said he enjoyed dressing up
the most. His face was painted white
with thick black eye make-up.
Our method was to slap on a lot
of make-up, he said. Its all about
glam and having fun.
Other outfits and accessories
included surgeons masks, stiletto
heels, a wedding dress and paja-
mas.
Mallory Deines, Olathe sopho-
more, agreed that dressing up was
the most fun. She heard about the
film from her mom, who saw it when
she was a student at the University.
I like to see scantily clad people,
she joked at the provocation of a
friend.
Some students, who had never
seen the show before, were sur-
prised.
Kelsey Berry, Manhattan fresh-
man, was also prompted to see the
film by her mom, who saw it at K-
State on Friday.
We dont see a lot of this in
Manhattan, she said.

the Internet, specifcally sites like Youtube, has made it easier to viewarchived and recent video clips. The Kansan sports staf has selected a fewclips that have stood out as memorable, ranging fromJayhawk basketball to baseball and football.
The Internet is wonderful.
Video sites like YouTube pro-
vide the opportunity to relive great
sports moments, whether they
happened two weeks ago or two
decades ago.
Last week, the sports staff of The
University Daily Kansan chose the
best sports videos on YouTube. Visit
Kansan.com/youtube for links to all
of the winners or to submit your
favorite in the comments section of
the site.
Without further ado, here are
some of our favorites.
Bo Jackson:
The two-sport superstar made the
list twice. First, a collection of acro-
batic catches, including a climbing-
the-wall effort. Jackson also excels in
video game format in a nearly two-
minute long run from the old-school
Nintendo game Tecmo Bowl.
Minor-league manager Joe Mikulik:
After what he perceived to be a
bad call, he steals a page or several
from Lou Piniellas playbook.
Allen Iverson doesnt practice:
After being suspended for miss-
ing practice, Iverson wants to know,
How the hell can I make my team-
mates better by practicing? Also
making the cut was Allen Iverson,
football star, with video of his best
plays from high school.
pine tar game:
Tired of hearing about how great
the Cardinals are? Relive this Royals
classic in long form or skip straight
to George Bretts blowup with the
miracle of technology.
EspNs Images of the Century:
This stirring video montage made
nearly everyones top five list. The
six-minute video includes images
and videos from nearly every major
sporting event.
Jayhawk basketball:
Theres no shortage of Jayhawk
basketball on YouTube. On the
list are dunk videos from Julian
Wright, Kenny Gregory and Sherron
Collins.
Jayhawk football:
While there arent as many vid-
eos, its still fun to compare June
Henley with Jon Cornish. Also, what
better way to get fired up for this
years Kansas vs. K-State game than
by reliving the 2004 classic? This is
back when the goalposts came down
for a reason.
Jayhawk track:
The oldest video on the list.
University of Kansas runner Billy
Mills incredible 10,000 meter finish
at the 1964 Olympics.
Cal-stanford:
The band is on the field!
Enough said.
Mike tyson:
He gets three video nods. Once
for biting off an ear, once for his top
knockouts, and once for wanting to
eat your children.
Buckner, re-created:
Somebody has painstakingly re-
created the infamous game of the
1986 World Series, including Bill
Buckners error, on the Nintendo,
even dubbing over the original
announcing from the game.

Coach Mark Mangino has refused to name his starting quarterback for this Saturdays game. After the performance of freshmanTodd Reesing against Colorado, he is looking like a good candidate.
Whos it going to be?
by RyAn SchnEidER
Another week and still more
questions about who will be Kansas
starting quarterback.
Since Kerry Meier suffered a right
shoulder injury last month in Toledo,
Mark Mangino has been bombarded
with daily questions about who will
be his starter.
Entering this weekends game
against Iowa State, the Kansas football
coach has refused to name any names.
Instead, hes told fans and media to
come to the game and find out.
I feel like whoever is ready to go,
healthy and prepared, well go with,
said Mangino during Mondays Big
12 Conference Football Coaches
Teleconference.
With that, Mangino provided about
as much insight to Saturdays starter
as could be expected this week.
But, with senior Adam Barmann
essentially benched, it appears
Manginos choice will be down to
Meier or freshman Todd Reesing.
Reesing came into the game on
Saturday during the third quarter,
replacing Barmann. He finished the
game 7-for-11, passing for 106 yards,
with three touchdowns and an inter-
ception. Reesing also had 90 yards
rushing on seven carries.
Meier suffered a right shoulder
injury against Baylor in Waco, Texas
Oct. 21 similar to the one he sus-
tained in the Toledo game. He didnt
play against Colorado.
Manginos refusal to name a start-
er has been in part to take the spot-
light off his young quarterbacks.
Theres been so much focus here
for the last several years on that posi-
tion that we would like to see some
focus put on other players that are
playing extremely well and doing
some good things in our program,
Mangino said.
Without naming a starter,
Mangino has forced Iowa State to
prepare for all three quarterbacks.
The Kansas
quarterback
position is up
in the air with
only two likely
possibilities for
the job.

Starting center
injures knee
by ShAwn ShRoyER
Kansas will be without another of
its big men for the next few weeks.
Junior starting center Sasha Kaun
partially tore the patellar tendon in
his right knee on Sunday when he
planted on the leg to go up for a
shot. The patel-
lar tendon con-
nects the knee-
cap to the lower
leg bone.
Coach Bill Self
said that, while
the injury dam-
aged the depth
of the roster, it
was actually less
serious than
the team first
thought, and that Kaun wouldnt
need surgery.
Were kind of fortunate because
we thought yesterday it was maybe
worse than it is, Self said. Hell be
out, in a perfect world, three weeks,
but were probably looking at closer
to six.
The loss of Kaun has been com-
pounded by the suspension of junior
center C.J. Giles. As a result, Self said
junior Darnell Jackson or freshman
Darrell Arthur would play center in
Kauns and Giles absences.
This isnt an ideal arrangement
for Self because Jackson and Arthur
are 6-foot-8 and 6-9 respectively,
while Kaun and Giles were both 6-
11. Self said even sophomore center
Matt Kleinmann and junior guard
Rodrick Stewart could see playing
time in the frontcourt.
Self said that Jackson had improved
his offensive skills, but that he didnt
provide the same low-post presence
as Kaun. Self said Arthur had been
one of the most
impressive play-
ers during prac-
tices, but he was
better suited to
power forward
than center.
The biggest
concern of our
team is we dont
guard very well
inside and with
Sasha, hes our
best low-post defender, Self said.
In addition to the frontcourt
problems, Self said the team hadnt
been practicing very well lately.
Sunday was probably a low point
for the teams practices this preseason.
We scrimmaged pitifully. Sasha
got hurt. Darrell cut his hand and he
couldnt participate, although hell
be fine by tomorrow, Self said. We
have a long way to go before were
ready to play Thursday night.
The biggest dilemma facing Self,
heading into the season, is how
much hes going to change his game
plans and strategies.
My focus is on trying to get our
team better and right now (C.J.
Giles) is not part of our team
and he may very well never be a
part of our team.

Kansas basketball finally tips off
on Thursday night against Washburn.
But before we get too excited, Id like
everyone, especially the seniors, to
take a moment and remember 2003.
That was the year I decided to
attend the University of Kansas. I
dont think any of the events that fol-
lowed could have been predicted.
In 2003, Kansas basketball was
Roy Williams. It was fast-paced. It
was back-to-back Final Fours instead
of back-to-back first round losses.
It was a roster filled with veteran
leadership and young-but-talented
role players, not a team without any
seniors.
That year Kansas lost to Syracuse
in the National Championship game,
then days later good ol Roy unex-
pectedly said goodbye. By May,
everything had changed.
Kansas had to adapt during a time
when fans liked the way things were.
It brought in a new coach and a new
athletics director, and despite the
anxiety caused by Bill Self s different
brand of basketball, the future still
seemed bright.
Roys highly touted recruits, con-
sisting of J.R. Giddens, David Padgett,
Omar Wilkes and Jeremy Case, each
honored their commitments to play
for Kansas. This was the class of
2007. These were the players we were
going to watch for four years and the
ones who would cause a proud but
solemn goodbye on Senior Night.
Then, at least for that class, a
lot went wrong. In an unfortunate
sequence of events, three players
transferred and one took a redshirt.
Now, the only goodbye on Senior
Night will be for graduating mem-
bers of the band, spirit squad and
dance team. I didnt expect that.
Some seniors may say they would
rather have been born four yours
earlier to see Roys final KU teams,
with Nick Collison, Kirk Hinrich,
Drew Gooden and two Final Fours.
But something is noticeably missing:
a National Championship.
After all the unforeseen turns
and frustrations during Kansas
Basketballs three-year transition
period, how fitting would this sea-
son be if it ended the way we always
expected?

The Kansas mens golf team was in
disarray after two rounds of play at
the Landfall Traditions Tournament
in Wilmington, N.C.
The teams strong play in the
first four tournaments of the season
seemed like a distant memory after
a team-wide collapse in this week-
ends second round. Senior Gary
Woodland, the Jayhawks most con-
sistent contributor, was questionable
heading into the third round after
sustaining a back injury.
Senior Tyler Docking, who fought
through an abysmal 81 in the sec-
ond round, emerged from play on
Sunday with the tournaments lowest
single-round score, a 68. Dockings
impressive turnaround placed him
in a tie for ninth with Woodland
and helped Kansas finish in seventh
place with an overall score of 915.
The Jayhawks stood in a tie for
third place after strong first-round
scores by freshman Bobby Knowles
and Woodland. Knowles followed
his stellar first round with a disap-
pointing second round, ultimately
finishing with a score of 234, good
for a tie for 35th place. Woodland
followed an even-par first round
with a 76 in the second. After
Woodland aggravated a bulging
disc in his back during Sundays
warm-ups, coach Ross Randall
feared Woodland would not be
able to finish the tournament.
We were obviously worried
that Gary would have to sit out,
Randall said. He immediately
talked to a trainer, took some
pills for the pain and was ready
to play.
The team title went to Tulsa,
which won by 26 strokes. Tulsa
teammates Nicholas Geyger and
Mitch Cohlmia shared the indi-
vidual crown with total scores
of 215.
Kansas entered the tourna-
ment ranked 30th nationally by
Golfweek magazine, but may lose
that ranking after this past week-
ends average performance.

ST. LOUIS Joan Tichacek has
never been high on anything in her
life.
But even as the days pass after her
St. Louis Cardinals became World
Series champions, she and the rest
of the city remain hung over with
excitement and adrenaline.
For me and my family, this is an
absolute high, Tichacek said.
Celebrating a championship is a
rare thing. The experience has done
wonders for how this community
feels about itself.
Karlene Sugarman, an associ-
ate professor of sports psychol-
ogy at John F. Kennedy University in
Pleasant Hill, Calif., said fans iden-
tify with their teams psychologically
more than some would think.
When the team loses they feel
like they lost. When they win, they
share the same emotions as the play-
ers on the field. They are truly a part
of it all. The fans won the World
Series too, Sugarman said.
Tichacek and her husband are
season ticket holders. Now in their
70s, the lifelong fans have a brick
engraved on the sidewalk outside
Busch Stadium. It commemorates
the Cardinals 1982 World Series vic-
tory that they attended with their two
sons, who are now adults.

Kansas is the clear-cut favorite to
win the Big 12 Conference for the
second consecutive year this season.
With traditional powerhouses Texas
and Oklahoma on the down swing,
it appears Texas A&M will be the
team to beat in the South division.
Heres a look at every school and
where they stack up (in order of Big
12 preseason rankings).
Kansas
2005 record (25-8, 13-3)
Coach Bill Self
With Big 12 Preseason Players
of the Year
B r a n d o n
Rush and
J u l i a n
Wright, the
J a y h a w k s
have an
o p p o r t u -
nity to run
the table in conference play. The
backcourt also returns 2005 Big 12
All-Defensive team players Russell
Robinson and Mario Chalmers. Self,
the reigning conference coach of the
year, also brought in two McDonalds
All-Americans with freshman
Darrell Arthur and Sherron Collins.
The Jayhawks are not just Big 12
contenders, but have national cham-
pionship aspirations as well.
Texas A&M
2005 Record (22-9, 10-6)
Coach Billy Gillispie
A&M came within one point of
knocking out last years runner-up
L o u i s i a n a
State in the
NCAA tour-
n a m e n t .
Gillispie led
the Aggies
to their first
t our nament
appe a r a nc e
since 1987. The Aggies return Big 12
First Team candidates, senior Acie
Law and junior Joseph Jones.
The Aggies meet the Jayhawks
Feb. 3 in Lawrence, when ESPNs
College Gameday will be broadcast-
ing live from Allen Fieldhouse.
Oklahoma State
2005 record (17-16, 6-10)
Coach Sean Sutton
Sutton takes over for his first
full season, replacing his dad, Hall
of Fame Coach Eddie Sutton, who
retired just four victories shy of 800.
The Cowboys had a sub-par season
last year and missed the NCAA tour-
nament. But look for returning 2005

Kansas will play Oklahoma State Jan.
10 in Lawrence.
Texas
2005 Record (30-7, 13-3)
Coach Rick Barnes
The Longhorns lost 2005 Big 12
Player of the Year P.J. Tucker and
LeMarcus Aldridge, a first team All-
Big 12 selection to the NBA. UT also
loses start-
ers Brad
Buckman
and Daniel
G i b s o n
from a
year ago.
With everyone leaving, it will be up
to incoming freshman Kevin Durant
to carry the Longhorns.
The Jayhawks and Longhorns
face off in Allen Fieldhouse March 3
in the final conference game before
the Big 12 tournament.
Kansas State
2005 record (15-13, 6-10)
Coach Bob Huggins
Huggins, known as Huggy
Bear, has brought excitement back
to Manhattan because the Wildcats
a c t u -
ally might
make the

for turn-
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Defending champions lead poll
ing around basketball programs with
blue-chip recruits like 7-foot-
3 freshman Jason Bennett and
competitive scheduling. The leader
of the Wildcats this season will be
senior Cartier Martin, who earned
second team All-Big 12 last year.
The Sunflower Showdown will be
Feb. 7 in Lawrence and Feb. 19 in
Manhattan.
Texas Tech
2005 record (15-17, 6-10)
Coach Bob Knight
Knight turned around the Red
Raiders basketball program in his
first year, taking them from eleventh
in the conference to a tie for third.
Last season, his team failed to make
the tournament but should bounce
back. Senior Jarrius Jackson scored
20 points or more in 18 games last
s e a s o n
en route
to being
n a m e d
All-Big 12
first team.
M a r t i n
Zeno, a 6-
5 junior
guard, looks
to be another key player this season.
The Jayhawks and Red Raiders face
off in Lubbock Jan. 20.
Baylor
2005 record (4-13, 4-12)
Coach Scott Drew
Coming off a season where they
were banned from nonconference
play, Drew and the Baylor Bears will
be in much better position come
conference play this season. Baylor
returns both starters in the back-
court with sophomore Curtis Jerrells
and junior Aaron Bruce. In the post,
look for Mamadou Diene, a 7-0
sophomore center from Senegal who
has the size
to become
a force in
the down
low. Baylor
and Kansas
square off in
Waco on Jan.
24.
Missouri
2005 record (12-16, 5-11)
Coach Mike Anderson
The infamous Quin Snyder was
finally fired at Missouri, and Mike
Anderson took the job coming
from the University of Alabama-
Birmingham. The Tigers leading
scorer from last season, Thomas
Gardner, will not return. The top
returner for Missouri will be Jason
Horton, a
6-2 guard.
The Border
Showdown
b e t w e e n
Kansas and
Missouri will
be Jan. 15 in Lawrence and Feb. 10
in Columbia.
Oklahoma
2005 record (20-9, 11-5)
Coach Jeff Capel
When former OU coach Kelvin
Sampson bolted for Indiana, OU
lost one of the premier coaches in
the country. Capel, 31, coached at
Virginia Commonwealth before
moving to Oklahoma. The Sooners
return Michael Neal, senior guard,
who was
named Big 12
Newcomer of
the Year last
season. Kansas
and Oklahoma
meet on Feb.
26 in a Big
Monday game
in Norman.
Nebraska
2005 record (19-14, 7-9)
Coach Doc Sadler
Former coach Barry Collier left,
which may be a good thing for
Nebraska. Sadler coached University
of Texas- El Paso the past two sea-
sons, making an NCAA appearance
and an NIT
a p p e a r -
ance. Junior
Aleks Maric
t h o u g h t
about enter-
ing the NBA
draft after
10 double-
doubles last season, but opted to
come back for another year of col-
lege. Maric is a force down low for
the Huskers, and guard Jamel White
should have a solid sophomore sea-
son after a nice freshman year. The
Hawks and Huskers meet each
other Jan. 29 in Lincoln and Feb. 17
in Lawrence.
Iowa State
2005 record (16-14, 6-10)
Coach Greg McDermott
McDermott replaces Wayne
Morgan as head coach after coach-
ing at Northern Iowa. Morgans team
looked poised to have a strong season
last year with former guards Curtis
Stinson and Will Blalock but never
lived up to its potential. McDermott
comes into Ames, Iowa, with few
players coming back. Junior Rahshon
Clark is the
teams top
r e t u r n e r .
Kansas plays
Iowa State
Jan. 13 in
Ames, Iowa,
and Feb. 24
in Lawrence.
Colorado
2005 record (20-10, 9-7)
Coach Ricardo Patton
After missing the tournament the
past two seasons, Patton is on the
hot seat to get Colorado back to
the tourna-
ment. Junior
R i c h a r d
Roby, All-
Big 12 First
Team in
2005, will
lead a young
Colorado team that meets Kansas
on Jan. 27 in Lawrence and then on
Feb. 14 in Boulder, Colo.

Predictions outline
basketball season
One lOve
Louisiana State basket-
ball player GlenBig
Baby Davis no longer
lives up to his nickname.
He has lost weight and is
projected to be an even
greater threat this year.
Rob Carr/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rob Carr/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Florida coach Billy Donovan led the Gators to victory last year and is predicted to repeat this year. With JoakimNoah ignoring calls to the NBA, Florida
has a good shot at another title.
Take that, Billy Packer.
Last March, the CBS basketball
commentator slammed the NCAA
selection committee for picking
too many teams from mid-major
conferences and not enough from
his precious ACC. Well, Final Four
participant George Mason showed
Packer and the rest of the country
that mid-majors can compete at a
high level. The big question for this
year and future years is this: Can
a similar run happen again for a
mid-major, or were the Patriots an
exception?
One thing is certain as this
season is about to start. Florida
has nearly everyone back from its
championship team, and is the obvi-
ous pick to start the season at No. 1.
As for a Cinderella team surprising
everyone in March, thats impossible
to predict. But hey, Ill try to predict
anyway. Here is a 2006-2007 NCAA
preview.
Top 10
1) Florida Gainesville is a
nice city, and the Gators have a
good chance to repeat. But come
on, Joakim Noah, you should be
logging minutes for a mediocre
NBA team and writing checks for
frivolous clothing items.
2) North Carolina Sorry
grudge-harboring KU fans, but Roy
has quite a few pieces to play with
this year in Chapel Hill, with Tyler
Hansbrough and the best recruiting
class in the country.
3) Kansas Although Sasha
Kaun and C.J. Giles could be gone,
Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson
will more than make up for the
loss. Heres a nightmare first-round
match-up for Jayhawk fans, Kansas
vs. Belmont.
4) UCLA Josh Shipp, who
missed almost all of last season,
returns and will offset the loss of
Jordan Farmar. Note to Coach Ben
Howland: Its OK to score points.
5) Wisconsin The Badgers 38-
2 record in Big 10 home games in the
past 5 years makes the Kohl Center
the best home-court advantage in the
country, and Alando Tucker will be
the Big 10 Player of the Year.
6) Georgetown Its 1985 all
over again in D.C. A guy named
John Thompson is barking out
coaching orders from the bench
and another Patrick Ewing is man-
ning the paint. Roy Hibbert and Jeff
Green join Ewing to form one of the
nations best frontcourts.
7) Duke Josh McRoberts
played well enough in the shadow of
Shelden Williams last year to be
projected as a lottery pick, and now
he has the chance to be the man in
Durham.
8) Arizona Chris Rodgers
and Hassan Adams are gone, taking
a chunk out of the teams arrest-
warrant average but also the teams
scoring average. Chase Budinger
is the best goofy, tall white guy in
basketball.
9) LSU Props to Glen Big
Baby Davis for having a real nick-
name in an era where nicknames
have almost ceased to exist. Big
Baby has a big problem in store for
his opponents too: a big weight loss
that increases his versatility.
10) Marquette This is
the riskiest pick of the Top 10.
Marquette has excellent guards,
headlined by point Dominic James,
but they will have to carry the load
for a weak frontcourt.

Virginia Sean Singletary is

George Washington Coach
Karl Hobbs is the best coach outside
of the major conferences.
USC If Gabriel Pruitt, who is
academically ineligible this semes-
ter, manages to make it to a couple
of classes, the Trojans could have a
chance to play in March.
DePaul Sammy Mejia is the
Big Easts second-leading returning
scorer.
All-eric Chenowith (Most
Overrated)
Jarrius Jackson, Texas Tech
How this guy made the All-Big 12
first team over Acie Law beats me.
Randolph Morris, Kentucky
This junior big man was supposed
to be in the NBA last season.
Malik Hairston, Oregon The
poster boy for the Ducks, Hairston
compared himself to Carmelo
Anthony before his freshman year.
Well, Hairston, Anthony wouldnt
let his team lose to Portland and
Portland State back to back.
Paul Davis, Michigan State
Whoops, Im so used to calling
him overrated I forgot his college
eligibility expired.

And who would Iowa State coach
Dan McCarney like to face on
Saturday?
Im not going there, McCarney
said Monday. Theyre all quality
players and weve been struggling
defensively, so well have to be at
our best.
That could be good news for the
Jayhawks.
Iowa State ranks 11th in the con-
ference in total defense, giving up
more than 382 yards of offense a
game. In its past three games against
Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Kansas
State, the Cyclones have given up
more than 390 yards of offense and
35 points per game.
Football Notes:
Bueltel ailing:
Junior cornerback Blake Bueltel
suffered an undisclosed injury and
his return is uncertain.
He was slowed down by an inju-
ry, Mangino said. He has to play his
way back up.
On the season, Bueltel has 17
tackles, including 15 solo.
Rouxs switch:
After starting the season at wide
receiver, senior Dominic Roux
switched sides and saw time at safety
against Colorado. Roux recorded one
tackle in the first defensive action of
his career.
I thought he did some really
good things, Mangino said. Hell
play more again this week.

He said his initial response was to
change as little as possible, because
everything would go back to normal
once Kaun was back.
I dont think you call that adver-
sity, I think you call that coaching,
Self said.
More basketball:
There is no update in the C.J. Giles
saga, but, Self said a final decision
would be made about Giles future
with the team once the two meet.
Self said he hadnt talked to Giles
recently because Giles went back
home because of the death of a
friend. But with Kansas first exhibi-
tion game this week, Self had other
issues on his mind.
My focus is not on C.J. Giles
right now, Self said. My focus is
on trying to get our team better and
right now hes not part of our team
and he may very well never be a part
of our team.

NFl
By DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCiATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Standing
alone in a far corner of Kansas
Citys tumultuous postgame locker
room, Trent Green had the look of
a solitary little boy pressing his nose
against the candy store window.
In normal times after a thrilling
victory by the home team, a crowd
would be forming around the
Chiefs two-time Pro Bowl quarter-
back. Men and women bearing tape
recorders and television cameras
would swarm around him.
But on Sunday after a 38-25 vic-
tory over Seattle, everybody wanted
to talk to tight end Tony Gonzalez,
running back Larry Johnson, and
most of all quarterback
Damon Huard.
Huard is 4-2 now since Green
was knocked out of action in the
Sept. 10 opener, a remarkable run
that has kept the Chiefs afloat and
no one dared expect from a guy
who hadnt started in the NFL since
2000.
He has thrown only one inter-
ception. At Arrowhead Stadium, he
is 3-0, topping the 100-point quar-
terback rating in all three starts,
with 752 yards passing and five
touchdowns.
Against the Seahawks on Sunday,
the poised and confident backup had
his best game ever despite a painful
groin pull that almost kept him off
the field. He threw for a career-best
312 yards with one touchdown and
no interceptions and triggered once
again a rising tide of speculation.
What happens when Green
gets back, probably in a couple of
weeks?
For his part, Huard is maintain-
ing the same good-soldier attitude
that kept him in line for six years as
a backup, often the all-but-forgotten
No. 3 on the depth chart.
The fact youre talking about it
is a good thing because that means
were winning games, he said. But
Trents the starting quarterback and
this year on this team, my job is to
back him up. And to fill in if hes
out. Thats what Im trying to do
now.
Green was cleared only last
week to start light practice. Coach
Herm Edwards said Monday that
he should know early this week if
the veteran quarterback, the Chiefs
acknowledged leader, will partici-
pate in team drills.
Will he play on Sunday?
I doubt it, Edwards said.
The decision is not growing any
more difficult as Huard continues
to excel week after week, Edwards
insisted.
No, its really not. Damons done
a fantastic job. Hes going to con-
tinue to play well as long as he has to
play. Theres going to come a point
in time when Trent is going to be
available to play. When that time
comes, weve got to get him back out
there and ready to play.
The reasons for putting Green
back under center are obvious,
Edwards said.
What (Green) has done here,
his leadership role, the type of play-
er you anticipate him to be. Hes
won a lot of games for this football
team. Hes one of the leaders on this
team. When he comes back, you
get another shot of adrenaline for
your football team, which is always
a good thing.
Huards most impressive feat
may be the way he helped hold the
Chiefs together after a humiliating
45-7 setback to Pittsburgh.
That loss left them 2-3 and reel-
ing. It was the most lopsided the
franchise has experienced in a non-
strike season in 22 years.
Chiefs stick with Green
Edwards says Green
will return to lineup
despite Huards role
as successful backup
Jack Dempsey/ASSOCIATED PRESS
kansas City Chiefs quarterback Damon Huard performs in place of Trent Green, who suf-
fered a concussion. Chiefs coach HermEdwards said Green will replace Huard despite the backups
success. Kansas City lost quarterback Trent Green with a concussion in its frst game.
