The last steel beam is in, and the new School of Pharmacy building is on schedule to open its doors for the fall 2010 semester. Students, faculty and administration in the school autographed the thirty-foot beam, which was placed yesterday on the northwest corner of the new building on Constant Avenue in West Campus.
dr. Ron Ragan, associate dean of academic affairs for the school of Pharmacy, signs his name on the final beam before it is hoisted on the new building located on West Campus. Dr. Ragan expressed his enthusiasm for the new buildings prospects, I think well not only have more pharmacy students, but better pharmacy students.

MOSCOW A Russian businessman who had been convicted in Israel of being a KGB spy was shot dead in Moscow on Monday, police said. Shabattai Kalmanovich, 60, was gunned down near his apartment in central Moscow after unidentified gunmen opened fire on his Mercedes from a passing car, Moscow city police said. An Israeli court in 1988 convicted Kalmanovich of espionage and sentenced him to seven years in jail. He was released after serving five years and relocated to Sierra Leone, where he made a fortune in the diamonds trade.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Authorities say a man arrested in Colorado is suspected of raping 11 women in New Mexico and Texas during 15 years, and recently trying to kill a police officer. The Pueblo County Sheriffs Department in Colorado arrested 47-year-old Robert Howard Bruce of Pueblo on Oct. 6 after an officer found a 30-pound propane tank rigged to pump the explosive gas into his home. Police say Bruce was tied to the Albuquerque rapes after his DNA matched one of the cases, and investigators are trying to determine if hes tied to crimes from 1991 to 2000 in Albuquerque and a 2006 rape in Austin, Texas.

MARRAKECH, Morocco Trying to mute Arab criticism that the Obama administration had retreated from its tough stance on Israeli settlements, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Monday softened her praise for Israels offer to restrain new housing in Palestinian areas. While Israel was moving in the right direction in its offer to restrict but not stop the settlements, Clinton said, its offer falls far short of U.S. expectations. Clinton is extending her trip by one day to fly to Cairo to meet with President Hosni Mubarak on Wednesday, her staff announced.

Junior guard Chase buford has entered a diversion agreement with the City for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, according to municipal Court records. buford will pay a total of $802 for a diversion fee, evaluation fee and court costs. buford was scheduled to appear in court last week regarding a July 11 arrest for suspicion of OUi near 7th and new Hampshire streets. because of the agreement, buford will not have to go before court. if he adheres to all the terms of the agreement for a period of one year, the charges against him will be dismissed. according to the agreement, buford agreed to undergo substance abuse treatment and to

not consume alcohol or drugs for a year. in addition to the OUi charge, the agreement lists additional charges of refusing to submit to a breath test and a stop sign violation. Junior guard brady morningstar was also placed on diversion earlier this month in an October dUi case. The two players agreed to similar conditions and fines, but unlike buford, morningstar will be subject to blood, breath or urine tests and has been suspended from team activities. in a July 11 statement regarding the incident, coach bill Self said he was disappointed in bufords actions and would handle any discipline in-house. although Chase is a high quality young man, he made some poor decisions and now has to live with the consequences of those decisions, Self said.

members of the School of Pharmacy staff look on as the final beam is placed on the new School of Pharmacy building on West Campus. The new building is projected for completion in August 2010. Kelli Bryant, Hays first-year pharmacy student, said she signed the beam because she was proud of the hard work she had done to get into the school. I think once youre here you learn how important the profession is and just getting through the four years, Bryant said. It was kind of prideful to put your name on the beam and to be a part of the new building. Nancy Muma, professor of pharmacology and toxicology, said the building would offer new technology, such as teleconferencing, which would allow students to communicate with scientists around the world. This is going to be terrific for the school for our ability to train pharmacists and other scientists, Muma said. Audus said the new building would have larger labs and lecture halls, which means the school could hold more classes simultaneously. He said the pharmacy skills lab in Mallott where students learn to fill prescriptions was on two different floors. The new building will put that lab in one room on one floor. Thatll save some wear and tear on instructors running up and down to cover two classrooms, Audus said. Edited by Abby Olcese
The declaration was approved by a voice vote on april 14 of that year. The document he found reads, The University Council hereby declares that the University of kansas should disassociate itself from any official endorsements for or against the South lawrence Trafficway, express or implied, that have been made in the past. The University of kansas endorses and supports the Haskell indian nations University in its effort to build the best indian educational institute in the country. The University Council was renamed the University Senate in 2005, and contains representatives of four constituent senates: the Faculty Senate, the Student Senate, the Unclassified Senate and the University Support Staff Senate.

he economic recession has forced states to cut their budgets, including funding for state universities. The University should be applauded for the tuition compact it offers to incoming freshmen. The tuition compact provides freshmen with a fixed tuition rate for four years at the University. According to a report issued by the College Board last month, four-year public colleges have raised their tuition fees on average by 6.5 percent. Private colleges, on average, have raised theirs 4.4 percent. The University raised its n tuition fees 6 percent this year. With the tuition compact, the University provides students with a tuition per credit hour that is fixed or unchanged for four calendar years for an incoming freshman class, Lynn Bretz, director of university communications, said. Tuition rates can continue to increase each year, but each class will pay only the tuition rate from their freshman year. The idea originated with students, who understood that costs would have to increase over the years, but they wanted tuition

for four years to be predictable, Bretz said. They wanted to know what a four-year degree would cost them. The compact makes financial planning for students much more predictable. Bretz said in-state students who were freshmen in Fall 2006 paid $5,513 annually in 2009. Now, as seniors in Fall 2009, they are paying $6,567. This is a difference of $1,054, which is a little less than a $265 per year increase. Freshmen who entered in Fall 2007, Fall 2008 and Fall 2009 will see no increase in their n n tuition rate, thanks to the tuition compact, Bretz said. Freshmen who enrolled at the University in Fall 2009 will pay $7,359 annually for in-state tuition. Students paying out-of-state tuition will pay $19,327.50 per semester for the next four years, assuming they take 15 credit hours per semester. This fixed compact was unprecedented before 2007. Rates were known only two months before they went into effect, according to a press release issued by the University. In the 30
years before 2007, tuition increases ranged from 0 to 25 percent per year, with the average being 9 percent. Even with the tuition increase, the Universitys funding is still hurting. KUs budget was cut by $32.3 million in one year, Bretz said. The tuition increase passed in June by the Regents produced about $9.8 million in additional revenue, making up not quite onethird of the cut in state funding. But Bretz said that the increase helped the University cope with a major budget cut and that it helped the KU administration protect the academic mission a much as possible. As the country slowly emerges from this economic recession, it is important to keep in mind that not only does the financial system need to be upgraded, but the public school system as well. An educated America is vital and programs such as the tuition compact offered at the University help provide students with the opportunity of higher education at a predictable cost.

he years we spend as undergrads are filled with explorations and challenges. We embark on this journey called college in the hopes of making new friends and discovering our place in world. But our time spent at the University of Kansas should consist of more than fraternity parties, fake IDs and library allnighters. College should also be a time to step out of our comfort zones and challenge our beliefs in order to further develop our values and critical thinking. The University offers several chances for students to not only become involved in student organizations that foster leadership, but also to acquire knowledge outside of the classroom. Challenging the beliefs and ideas we hold from our upbringing is part of the college experience. An undergraduate degree is becoming more expensive, and for students to gain the most out of their money and time spent at the University they should take advantage of the many opportunities the University offers to establish critical thinking and openmindedness. The student pagan organization, KU Cauldron, held a lecture that was open to all KU students Oct. 27 about witchcraft. This is a perfect example of a chance to learn about an uncommon religion and to meet peers who practice this religion. This was also an opportunity for students to challenge their own religious beliefs by learning about a different religion. Attending events such as this helps promote religious toleration and shape well-rounded adults. The Hall Center for Humanities also offers lecture series on various topics. The center will welcome Chris Abani Nov. 17 to speak as a part of their lecture series titled Stories of Struggle, Stories of Hope: Art, Politics and Human Rights. Abani is the author

erin brown
of several award-winning and controversial works of fiction. His experiences will likely offer insight to students regardless of their interest in his work. This University-sponsored lecture series presents another opportunity to become informed about topics that might not be addressed in some classes. If religion and literature dont appeal to you, the University offers lectures and seminars on several other topics and areas of study. The department of linguistics is offering the seminar Executive Function in Simultaneous and Sequential Bilingual Children Nov. 12 in Fraser Hall. All of these events, lectures, and seminars are free to KU students; students need to devote only their time. Preparing for life after college doesnt simply require passing classes, but also attempting to challenge ourselves by stepping out of our comfort zones. Until we can face conflicting opinions and beliefs with open minds, we cant expect to grow from college students to adults. The University offers several opportunities for students to foster intellectuality and practice critical thinking outside of discussion sections and textbooks. Students should make the conscious choice to further their undergraduate learning experience by attending some of these events. By doing so, students will get the most out of their undergraduate experience and the money spent on receiving their degrees. Brown is a Wichita junior in journalism and political science.

The incontestable scientific consensus about climate change has finally compelled the U.S. government to address the longterm threat posed by rising CO2 levels. Enacting a cap-and-trade system for carbon emissions coupled with more stringent renewable electricity requirements is an essential first step in addressing this critical issue. No doubt, cutting carbon emissions entails sizable economic costs and scientific models cannot tell us the long-term economic impact of a changing climate, but it remains imperative to hedge against the substantial risk posed to people around the world by increasing temperatures, shifting weather patterns and rising sea levels. If no action is taken to curb carbon emissions, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has projected that temperatures in Kansas will rise by an average of 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100, more than in any other state.

an endangered agalychnis annae, commonly known as a Blue-sided Leaf Frog, is seen at National Biodiversity Institute of Costa Rica in Heredia, Costa Rica, Wednesday. Alexander Barrientos, a scientist at INBio, said that the endangered tree frog of the Hylidae family native to Costa Rica was able to reproduce at INBio, and that they were investigating the possibility of breeding other species of frogs in danger of extinction. Zoo Atlanta scientist Joseph Mendelson was part of the group that identified the frog as a distinct species. He said it is likely that dozens or even hundreds of other amphibians have become or are going to be extinct before they are even discovered. This one we caught right before it went off the planet, but other species surely we didnt catch in time, Mendelson told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. When you name a new species youre attached to it, and when that species disappears so quickly its impossible not to have feelings associated with that, he said. Im pretty sad to be honest, really sad.

The Ministry of Sculpture, a student-run sculpture club comprised of students who have taken a foundry class, coordinated an iron pour Halloween afternoon. Members of the community were invited to experience the fun, fire and art by designing tile molds to make miniature iron sculptures. The event was held at the intersection of Ninth and Rhode Island streets and was made possible through the Lawrence Arts Commission.
Professor John Hachmeister supervises his foundry students as they pour molten iron into tile molds. Hachmeister is the adviser for the Ministry of Sculpture.
Will Vannerson, Pensacola, Fla., graduate student, taps out liquid iron from the base of the furnace. The molten iron was used to create iron tiles designed by community members at the Saturday afternoon event.
Tierney Cacioppo, Overland Park senior, pours water on cooling iron casts. Members of the community were invited to design tile molds used in Saturday afternoons iron pour.

WICHITA Online auction house eBay has removed items that were posted for sale by anti-abortion activists trying to raise money for defense of a man accused of killing a Kansas abortion provider, the company said Monday. Supporters of Scott Roeder one in Kansas City, Mo. and the other in Des Moines, Iowa posted various items late Sunday in separate eBay auctions including an Army of God manual, an underground publication for antiabortion militants that describes ways to shut down clinics. After about five hours, eBay removed 10 items, activists said. The final two items were removed by late Monday afternoon. Today, eBay removed several listings on our site that violated several of our policies including our offensive materials policy. This policy prohibits items that promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual, or religious intolerance, or promote organizations with such views, eBay said in a statement.

The associated Press announced their preseason all-america team Tuesday featuring kansas Cole aldrich and sherron Collins. Notre Dames luke Harangody led the way with 57 votes from 65 voters. aldrich received 49 votes and Collins received 39. Finishing out the all-america team were kentuckys Patrick Patterson (35 votes) and Dukes kyle singler (30 votes). The news took the junior center by surprise. Thats the first ive heard about it so far, aldrich said. i dont even know what to say. its a huge honor. and like sherron and i have said before, its just a reflection of our team and how well our team helps us out a lot. These days, wherever aldrich goes, Collins is right there and vice-versa. Every award, be it the Naismith Watch list, Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year or the Preseason all-Big 12 Team, they are mentioned at the top.
Their relationship blossomed over the summer so much so aldrich said he considered Collins the girlfriend and himself as the guy. Collins had to pause after hearing that metaphor. i dont know how that sounds, he said. ill say im like his big little brother. The relationship is comfortable enough to joke about, said aldrich. it is good comic relief for the team as well. like i said, hes a big goofball, Collins said. Hes always joking and we get a laugh out of him every time. On a more serious note, head coach Bill self still has some issues with the Jayhawks as a team. But when it comes to the individuals of aldrich and Collins, theres no one else hed rather coach. i dont think weve as a group practiced to our ranking and individually havent played up to the things people are saying about us, self said. But i think youd be very hard pressed to find two better players in the country than those two.

NairOBi, kenya The worlds fastest man adopted the animal kingdoms fastest sprinter Monday, as Usain Bolt welcomed a new baby cheetah named lightning Bolt into his life. The Jamaican sprinters sponsorship of the threemonth-old male cheetah is part of an effort to boost kenyan conservation efforts of its famous wildlife, whose survival is threatened by trophy hunting, climate change and human encroachment. The world record-holder in the 100 and 200 meters paid $13,700 to formally adopt the cub. He will also pay $3,000 a year to care for lighting Bolt,
who will be raised at an animal orphanage in Nairobi. The money will go to the kenya Wildlife service, and some will be used to protect kenyas endangered species, kWs director Julius kipngetich said. Bolt was joined on the trip by Colin Jackson, a former 110-meter hurdles Olympic champion, and Jochen Zeitz, the chief executive of athletic gear manufacturer Puma. Zietz made the visit to launch his charitys campaign to preserve ecosystems. Jackson adopted a 2-yearold eland, the largest of the antelope species. lighting Bolt is among three cubs rescued by kWs officials after their mother abandoned them in a game park.

hen television cameras pan by Allen Fieldhouses student section tonight, they will inevitably document a bevy of fans, mouths agape and pointer fingers outstretched, declaring the Jayhawks number one. Which, although the act is hardly an unfamiliar one, is actually appropriate in this case. Kansas is, after all, No. 1. But what about those other venues, other teams, and other fans? Surely, when Michigan State takes the court, the Spartan faithful will hoarsely shout claims of their teams supremacy, all while making that universally understood one-fingered gesture (no, not that one). Surely they know that Michigan State is, in fact, number two. Right? And what about the rest of the nation?

Lawrence? Not a thing. And it gets worse. Much worse. You see, however fraudulent, those teams mentioned above at least can offer a reasonable case for No. 1 consideration. But those teams fans wont be the only ones making such a claim. Across the nation, in every venue on every campus, every fan base will do the same. In some ill-lit high school gym, a student section of 12 will assert its beloved Northern Wyoming A&M Fighting Trout as No. 1. Which is precisely the problem. Not that the Fighting Trout are No. 1 clearly, they arent even as good as the Western Oregon Tech Wonder Weasels but
that anyone can lay claim to said title. When such declarations are so arbitrary, they become quite meaningless, not to mention confusing. Imagine, for a moment, that an alien crash-lands on Earth. Its stranded until its craft can be repaired, and the on-board space T.V. only picks up college basketball. How is it going to know which team is really No. 1? Oh sure, it could wait until the end of the season. And there are those supposedly unbiased polls as well. But the most omnipresent indicator of a teams status is its fans. And when all those fans provide information that is consistently contradictory, the alien is going to get angry. It might even get angry enough to obliterate Earth. Who knows? So, in order to stave off species-wide eradication, this problem needs to be fixed. The most obvious means to this end would be forbidding any fan base whose

team is not recognized by the polls as No. 1 from declaring as much. Unfortunately, the NCAA hasnt found a way to make that illegal yet. With the logical option out, the best choice is to go in the opposite direction: Kansas fans should not hold up their fingers and shout No. 1, woooo! into television cameras. In so doing, they will differentiate Kansas, the rightful No. 1, from the rest of college basketball. And they might even save the world. Edited by Amanda Thompson

Iowa State junior quarterback Austen Arnaud missed the teams past two games with a bruised hand, but coach Paul Rhoads said in the Big 12s weekly teleconference Monday that he would return to start this weekend against Oklahoma State. Rhoads also said that he was close to playing Arnaud last weekend. But there was just enough velocity that was off that he would not have been in a good position to help us win the football game, Rhoads said. Freshman replacement Jerome Tiller rushed for a touchdown in the Cyclones 3510 loss against Texas A&M but also threw two interceptions. Rhoads said that he thought the interceptions were good passes but that the athletic Texas A&M defense made good plays on the ball. Rhoads said Arnaud did not practice much last week because the coaching staff was worried that the swelling in his hand would flare back up. Hes grasping the ball fine and we expect him to do a normal amount of practice this week, Rhoads said. Arnaud has thrown seven touchdowns and tossed just one interception in his last five games.

With Kansas recent offensive struggles, the improved performance of the teams defense has happened rather quietly. Despite the offenses lack of production in Kansas last two games, members of the defense said there was no frustration with the other side of the ball. Theres been so many times where theyve had us out there and we didnt come through for them, senior safety Darrell Stuckey said. Its one of those things we have to go out there and just play the game.

Philadelphia Phillies Chase Utley, center, is congratulated by Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino after hitting a three-run home run against New York Yankees A.J. Burnett during the first inning of Game 5 of the Major League Baseball World Series Monday in Philadelphia. Rollins and Victorino also scored on the hit. least six innings. Philadelphia ended baseballs record streak of five straight Series that ended in sweeps or five games, ensuring at least one more telecast in a matchup between big-market teams that has revived baseballs ratings. The Phillies still face a tall task: The Yankees lost three in a row just twice after the All-Star break and dropped consecutive home games only once after mid-June. Just 37 of 43 teams with 3-1 Series deficits have gone on to win the title, including five in a row since Kansas City rallied past St. Louis in 1985. But Pettitte and CC Sabathia, the Yankees Game 7 starter, will be pitching on short rest Pettitte for the first time this year and Sabathia for the third time in the postseason. If the Phillies come back to become the first NL team to win consecutive Series titles since the 1975-76 Cincinnati Reds, Yankees manager Joe Girardi will be widely second-guessed for his pitching decisions. No Series champion has gone the entire postseason with just three starters since the 1991 Minnesota Twins when there were just two rounds of playoffs.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Kolby Smiths timing may turn out to have been perfect. The Kansas City Chiefs will be without suspended running back Larry Johnson when they travel to Jacksonville this week, and Smith, a year after knee surgery, is eligible and eager to come off the physically unable to perform list. Johnson, a former Pro Bowler who is struggling this season, is serving a suspension for making gay slurs and belittling head coach Todd Haley. Presumably, that will shift the running duties to Jamaal Charles and Dantrell Savage.

CAA suspensions this year have fueled debates about the appropriate degree of punishment that certain offenses warrant. There have been two major suspensions this year in college football. The first was Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount for punching a mouthing-off Boise State player, well, in the mouth. And the second was Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant for lying to the NCAA about meeting with former NFL star Deion Sanders. Both were actions that deserved a degree of punishment. However, the respective penalties made sports fans and commentators alike scratch their heads. Blount, in his rampage after losing to Boise State in the first week of the season, punched a player, attacked the fans at the game and had to be thrown off the field like an obnoxious drunk kicked out of night club. The NCAA suspended Blount for the whole season shortly after, and people started talking. Did he deserve that? Some argued he didnt because the Boise State player got in his face and sparked the aggression. Yet it was an act of violence, and it deserved severe punishment. And now, eight weeks later, Blount has the opportunity to play the rest of the season for Oregon. Through profusely apologizing and working his guilty behind off to get back on the field, Blount has turned around the initial suspension and might be eligible to play this Saturday. Bryant was not so lucky. The NCAA ruled that Dez Bryant would not be able to play at all this year for lying. The suspension of a player for lying to the NCAA is totally acceptable. The system is designed to put every player on the same level of competition, and honoring that system is necessary to the legitimacy of college sports. However, a year-long suspension seems as though the whip is being cracked a little hard on a player who was not trying to cheat the system in any way. Yet the system has seemed to say violence can be forgiven, but lying, heavens no. The NCAAs rule book is thick, really thick. And anybody who expects these young players to know everything they are allowed to do would also expect Kansas students to know the student handbook by heart. Not likely. The funny thing about Bryants case is that his meeting with Sanders would not have resulted in a suspension if he would have told the truth about it. Bryant panicked, not knowing if he had overstepped any boundaries, and then naively lied thinking it would help his chances of playing. Then he apologized. Panic is no excuse for lying to authorities. For now, Bryant is meeting with attorneys to try to figure out a way to get his feet back on the grass, but nothing has developed yet. His nonviolent, yet immature mistake will cost him his last year of college football, as scouts expect him to enter the NFL Draft. Edited by Lauren Cunningham
