Vincent Cailteux, Lyndon senior, answers the phone Friday while working at the Quality Inn,
801 Iowa St. Cailteux works from11 p.m. to 7 a.m. fve nights a week and attends classes full-
time during the day. He has worked nights for six years and said he couldnt handle working days.

Kansas was one of 12 states Wal-
Mart added to the list of 15 states
already offering $4 generic prescrip-
tion drugs last week. The prescrip-
tions will be offered at all 63 Wal-
Mart stores in Kansas.
Continuing its theme of rolling
back prices, Wal-Mart of Bentonville,
Ark., began offering the discounted
prescriptions three weeks ago. The
program was set to launch in Florida
and surrounding states no earlier
than Jan. 2007, but because of the
demands of its customers, Wal-Mart
accelerated the start time.
The retailer has made 314 generic
prescriptions available to its custom-
ers at the $4 price for up to a 30-day
supply at usually prescribed doses.
Wal-Mart spokesman Dan Fogleman
said the prescriptions offered
accounted for about 25 percent of
the prescriptions written per year,
though he couldnt say how many
generics they have in stock.
Working families, senior citizens
and the uninsured struggle to meet
health care costs, he said. Were
hoping we can make a difference in
their lives by giving them medicine
they need at prices they can afford.
Fogelman said this plan is ben-
eficial for college students, especially
students without insurance, students
putting themselves through school
and living on a tight budget. It would
also benefit students still on their
parents insurance because it could
be cheaper than paying a co-pay, he
said.
Whitney Hobson, Wichita sopho-
more, said Wal-Marts prescription
plan was a good idea because it al-
lowed college students a cheaper
option for medication, especially for
those who are not covered by their
parents insurance.
Im still on my parents insurance
but I know a lot of people who arent.
Most likely this is the only option that
they have right now, she said.
Zack Stoltenberg, Gering, Neb.,
senior, said Wal-Mart was the only
place he knew that would be able to
aford this type of plan.
Its kind of sad to see a big box
corporation take over one more thing,
but if its going to help people, I dont
see any problem with it, he said.
Walgreens of Deerfield, Ill., a com-
petitor, doesnt feel the need to match
Wal-Marts new generic prescription
drug plan, Carol Hively, a Walgreens
spokeswoman said in an e-mail.
Nearly 95 percent of Walgreens
pharmacy patients have insurance
coverage, she said.

Standing behind a cash regis-
ter with swollen bags under his
eyes, Nate Hardesty shows signs
of fatigue.
Its late Wednesday night, which
means the regular crowd of drag
queens from the Liquid Bar and
Nightclub, 804 W. 24th St., will be
migrating his direction after anoth-
er alternative lifestyles night. As one
of the few places in Lawrence open
during early morning hours, Kwik
Shop, 1611 E. 23rd St., became the
hangout for the ladies and their
five-oclock shadows.
Its been 30 hours since Hardesty
last slept, and his night shift at the
Kwik Shop has just begun.
Somet i mes
I just need to
rest my eyes,
Hardesty said.
Theres days
where the last
thing I want to
do is stand for
eight hours.
Ha r d e s t y ,
Salina senior, is
one of many KU
students work-
ing while most people are sleep-
ing. Theyre the students and locals
who keep the lights on in Lawrence
after dark, and who struggle to bal-
ance a nighttime working life with
their daytime academic workload.
They fight sleep deprivation and
fatigue, weight gain and insomnia
and become dependant on artificial
stimulants like coffee and caffein-
ated soft drinks from a schedule
completely turned upside down.
Among college drunks and drag
queens, these nocturnal work-
ers have learned first hand that
Lawrence is a different world after
sunset.
Hardesty originally began work-
ing the late shifts on holidays
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Years Eve, until picking up the shift
four nights a week from 10 p.m. to
7 a.m. eight months ago. It was the
first job he found after transfer-
ring to the University of Kansas.
Hardesty works an average of 36
hours a week at Kwik Shop in addi-
tion to his responsibilities as a full-
time student.
After escaping the smell of musty
hotdogs roasting in their luminous
ovens, Hardesty hikes the campus
hills for early morning classes. More
often than not hes the student nod-
ding off in class, or whose writing
drifts off the page on last nights
homework assignment.
Robert Brown, physician at
Watkins Memorial Health Center,
said students working these late
night hours with a full academic
schedule are
too often sacri-
ficing the need
for sleep in
their lives. As a
result, many of
these students
are struggling
or achieving less
academi cal l y
than they would
by leading a
more conven-
tional work and class schedule.
Sleep is something to help reju-
venate our brain and neuro-trans-
mitters, Brown said. It takes a toll
and is an ongoing condition that
can affect our attention and learn-
ing levels.
Sleep deprivation can also result
in health problems more serious
than a constant battle with fatigue.
Vincent Cailteux, Lyndon senior,
has developed acid reflux problems
since beginning to work the night
shift as a front desk attendant at the
Quality Inn, 801 Iowa St.
Cailteux said that going to work
when hed previously gone to bed
was the most difficult change hes
had to make since starting the night
shift.

Halloween isnt just about
candy, scaring people and cos-
tumes anymore. It has become the
sixth-biggest holiday, according to
money spent.
As reported by a National Retail
Federation survey, consumers are
expected to spend $4.96 billion
this Halloween, $1.76 billion more
than what was spent a year ago.
The survey also indicated that
63.8 percent of consumers will
participate in Halloween festivi-
ties this year, up from 52.5 percent
of consumers last year.
The NRF, the worlds largest
retail trade association, polled
more than 8,000 consumers to
gauge their behavior and shop-
ping trends related to Halloween.
But this isnt only a national
trend. Lawrence retailers report
a significant rise in Halloween-
related sales this year. The own-
ers of Fun and Games, 830
Massachusetts St., and Party
America, 1441 W. 23rd St., said
sales doubled this Halloween from
last year. And Fun and Games had
record sales last year, owner Kyle
Billings said.
Billings added that he had
heard reports about people spend-
ing more money. Billings said he
thought there were more parties
this year and some his costumers
were buying different costumes
for every party.
Each year, it gets bigger and
bigger, he said.
Party America owner Larry
Schlosser said he thought
Halloween had become the big-
gest adult holiday of the year. He
attributed part of the rise in popu-
larity to the college-aged crowds
affinity for the holiday.
Theres days where the last
thing I want to do is stand for
eight hours.

On its list of 10 things that the
average person can do for northern
Uganda, the Uganda Conflict Action
Network suggests that college stu-
dents start organizations to educate
and empower their campus com-
munities.
The Web site then names KU For
Uganda, KU4U, as the model for just
such an organization.
Though many student organiza-
tions campaign for an end to global
injustice, KU4Us focus on the over-
looked, war-torn region of northern
Uganda makes it a standout amongst
organizations at the University of
Kansas, and a national forerunner in
collegiate activist groups.
We feel its our moral obliga-
tion to do what we can, said KU4U
President Nathan Mack, Lawrence
junior, noting that the United
Nations has referred to the more
than 20-year conflict in northern
Uganda as todays most neglected
humanitarian crisis.
KU alumna Rebekah Heacock,
who currently works at a Ugandan
orphanage, founded KU4U last fall.
Though still quite new to campus,
the organization has already made
itself highly visible by introduc-
ing many unique events that draw
attention to the hardships faced by
Ugandas citizens and raising funds
for their aid.
KU4U has hosted two Gulu Walks,
which address the plight of the thou-
sands of Ugandan children who trek
miles from their homes each night to
escape the Lords Resistance Army, a
rebel group that kidnaps children to
fight in its revolt against the Ugandan
government. Gulu Walks took place
worldwide on Oct. 21, and Mack
said that KU4Us Walk raised more
than $2,000 on behalf of Ugandan
night commuters.
During the upcoming holiday
season, the organization will send
cards and small gifts to children at
an orphanage in Kampala, Uganda.
KU4U has brought together local
bands for Uganda benefit concerts
and produced a compilation CD
entitled Emirembe (Hope) Now.
Bands donated their songs, and all
proceeds go to the orphanage.
KU4U has ongoing letter-writ-
ing campaigns urging senators and
members of Congress to support
U.S. leadership in restoring peace to
northern Uganda. The group is also
hoping to bring a prominent speaker
to campus this spring.
With peace talks currently taking
place in southern Sudan, Mack is
optimistic about the future of relief
efforts for Uganda.
Its the best time to gain support,
he said, adding that the success of
the peace talks depends greatly on
support from the international com-
munity, as well as awareness on an
individual level.
If people cant make it to the
meetings or events, the most impor-
tant thing they can do is tell their
friends about whats going on, Mack
said.
KU4U meets at 3 p.m. every
Sunday at the Mirth Caf, 8th and
New Hampshire streets.
Students looking for more infor-
mation on KU4U or the conflict
in northern Uganda should e-mail
kuforuganda@gmail.com.

Wal-Mart pursues lawsuit
with city commission
A lawsuit stemming from al-
legations that the city denied a
building permit for a Wal-Mart
store at Sixth St. and Wakarusa
Dr., has been restarted after
seven months.
The city commission and
Wal-Mart property owners
agreed to put the lawsuit on
hold in April so that Wal-Mart
could submit a diferent devel-
opment plan for the proposed
store, David Corliss, city man-
ager, said.
Wal-Mart decided to pursue
the case again after the city
commission voted 3-2 to
reject a plan to build a 99,000-
square-foot Wal-Mart store
Tuesday. The development
plan that was presented to the
committee Tuesday was for a
store that was 32,000 square
feet smaller than a plan origi-
nally denied by the committee,
which sparked this lawsuit.

Students get taste of chemistry lesson
By Darla slipke
Disguised in a fiery orange wig
and lab coat, Meghan Denchfield
warned her audience in the base-
ment of Malott Hall to cover their
ears. Then she lit a balloon on fire,
which exploded with a loud boom
that seemed to shake the auditorium
and left a puff of green smoke in
the air.
The demonstration was part
of Frozen Flames University
Demonstration, one of dozens of
demonstrations by KU students
at the 11th-annual Carnival of
Chemistry Sunday afternoon. The
carnival, hosted mostly by students
in the chemistry club, was a way to
get children interested in science,
said Tiffany Maher, Oklahoma City
graduate student and co-coordinator
of the event.
They go back to their teachers
and ask, Why did this happen? How
did this happen? she said. That
starts the question process, which
leads to the learning process.
Children and their parents filtered
in and out of classrooms and labora-
tories where various activities were
available to them. The theme of the
carnival was Your Home ... Its All
Built on Chemistry. Other activities
included decorating cookies, exam-
ining the parts of a computer and
the flush mechanism of a toilet and
microwaving Ivory soap to see what
happens to the air inside it.
Qing Chang, Topeka graduate
student, helped children make silly
putty. He said the concepts were sim-
ple and fun for children to under-
stand.
Its very hands on, Chang said.
Its fun for kids to play around
with.
The Frozen Flames show play-
fully pitted two fictional female sci-
entists, Dr. Cool and Dr. Pyro, who
represented ice and fire, against one
another in an attempt to prove which
element was better. Each alternated
demonstrating the magnificent abili-
ties of her element, which kept the
audience laughing, shrieking and
ooing and aahing.
Denchfield, Pickering, Ontario,
senior, was Dr. Pyro. She added
nitrogen and oxygen to the balloon
experiment, causing objects in the
room to shake, and boric acid, which
caused a green cloud of residue to
the delight of the audience. Allison
York, Alton, Ill., senior, played Dr.
Cool. Dressed in an icy blue lab coat
and a magenta wig, she hammered
a nail into a block of wood using a
banana that was dipped in liquid
nitrogen.
Six-year-old Miranda Powell said
the explosion was her favorite part of
the show. She leaned forward on the
edge of her moms lap to watch the
show. Her mom, Michelle Powell,
said her favorite part was the smart
women in the production.
During the show, York, Denchfield
and several student assistants
dressed in equally flashy garbs, sang
and danced to accompanying music
and a video presentation. The group
performs the show year-round at
schools.
At the end of the show, the ladies
begrudgingly reached an equilibri-
um, deciding that one element was
no good without the other. They
then sang a rousing rendition of a
song entitled Chemistry Tonight.

Five-year-old Evans tail would
wag if it could. Dressed in his lion
Halloween costume, his pumpkin-
shaped trick-or-treat bucket is nearly
overflowing with candy gathered
from the KU residence halls.
Evan is only on the second of
Ellsworths nine floors, and hes
working his way to the top.
Lawrence children gathered candy
from students in residence halls
Sunday night as part of the annual
Halloween in the Halls event. The
Association of University Residence
Halls funded the event and each
hall government was responsible for
picking a theme.
Jasmine Worthhall, AURH vice
president for programming, said
the residence halls always expect
to see children who live at Stouffer
Place, the Universitys married-stu-
dent apartment complex. But this
year weve advertised to all the local
schools as well, she said.
The Lawrence community
seemed to have accepted the invita-
tion. Many residents in Ellsworth
were completely out of candy with
more than an hour of trick-or-treat-
ing still to go. Ellsworth residents
said that there were considerably
more children trick-or-treating in
the halls this year than theyd been
told to expect.
Theres been a lot of older-look-
ing kids, 13- or 14-year-olds that
are walking around with full pil-
low cases, said Amelia Kellam, St.
Louis junior and Ellsworth resident
assistant.
Many floors participated in the
event by decorating their lobbies
for the children. Kellams floor had
a pirate cave for the students to
walk through, where treasure chests
were filled with candy for them to
take. Kellam said that Spiderman
costumes were the most common for
boys trick-or-treating this year, and
princess outfits for the girls.
McCollum Hall had carnival
games, and Baby Jay took pictures
with the children from five to six
p.m. Oliver Hall had Halloween-
themed arts and crafts. Hashinger
Hall, Lewis Hall, Templin Hall,
Ellsworth Hall and GSP-Corbin Hall
all had Halloween treats, such as
candy apples and popcorn balls, for
their young guests.

Please RSVP 785-841-4664
Its almost been stolen from the
kids, he said.
Hes right. According to the
NRF survey, 85.3 percent of con-
sumers aged 18 to 24 will celebrate
Halloween this year. The number
jumped from last years 66.8 percent.
The number of young professionals
celebrating Halloween has also risen
from 71.3 percent of consumers cel-
ebrating the holiday last year to 76.5
percent this year among people 25
to 34.
The Halloween season is getting
longer with some eager party-goers
buying costumes in early September.
Billings said Halloween represented
half a years business for Fun and
Games.
Schlosser said Christmas used to
be the busiest holiday season at Party
America, but it has since changed to
Halloween.
So what are the college student
wearing this year? Billings said that
even though pirate costumes are typ-
ically a popular choice with the men,
this year is bigger than ever.
There could be 10 pirates at a
party and theyll all be different,
Billings said.
Johnny Depps portrayal of
Captain Jack Sparrow in last years
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse
of the Black Pearl may have contrib-
uted to the trend, Schlosser said.
Party America is almost out of
beer-keg costumes. Schlosser said
they were popular with the college
men for obvious reasons.
For the women, Schlosser said
sexy things are in favor this year.
Choosing the right costume is a big
deal for the college women, he said.
Youll see them going through
different costumes with their cell
phones, Schlosser said. Theyve got
to check with someone.
Billings and Schlosser said their
stores were running out of every-
thing, but they both expected a
late surge on the day and night of
Halloween.

halloween (continued from 1A)
prescriptions (continued from 1A)
The average co-pay for the gener-
ics listed is just over $5. Thats not
enough of a difference to make most
people stop using their preferred
pharmacy, Hively said. For seniors
enrolled in Medicare Part D plans,
the average co-pay for the same
medications drops to just over $3, so
they would actually pay less.
Hively added that the number of
generics offered by Wal-Mart is a
small portion of the 1,800 generic
drugs available at Walgreens stores.
Fogleman, Wal-Mart spokesper-
son, didnt know how many of their
pharmacy customers had insurance
coverage versus the number that
didnt.
Nicole Corcoran, a spokeswom-
an for Governor Kathleen Sebelius,
said in an e-mail that the governor
spoke with Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott
last February in Washington D.C. at
a National Governors Association
meeting. They talked about when
the retailer would begin its health
efforts.
Governor Sebelius supports
initiatives that bring safe, lower-
cost prescription drugs to Kansans,
Corcoran said. Shes pleased Wal-
Mart has decided to expand their
program to Kansas and believes its
another option to make some gener-
ic prescriptions more affordable.
The 27 states currently offering
the program are Alabama, Alaska,
Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
Mexico, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas,
Vermont and Virginia.

nation
winds, rain, snow blast
northeast region of U.s.
NEW YORK Thousands of
homes and businesses had no elec-
tricity Sunday from Maryland to
Maine as a storm system blasted
the region with winds gusting to
more than 50 mph, knocking over
trees and a construction crane. The
storm was blamed for at least two
deaths.
Gusts of 70 mph were possible
Sunday in northern New York state,
the National Weather Service said.
A falling tree killed a motorcy-
clist in Massachusetts, police said.
In New Hampshire, one man was
missing after falling of a cruise
ship on Lake Winnipesaukee dur-
ing the storm late Saturday, and
one man drowned when his kayak
overturned on a rain-swollen river,
state ofcials said.
Power failures elsewhere across
the region still afected more than
two dozen communities Sunday
across New Hampshire; 9,500
homes and businesses in Mas-
sachusetts; 1,500 customers in
Rhode Island; 6,400 in Connecticut;
2,900 in Maryland; 5,000 in New
Jersey; 4,700 on New Yorks Long
Island; and 15,500 in upstate New
York, state and utility ofcials said.
The weather observatory atop
New Hampshires 6,288-foot
Mount Washington, famous for
severe weather, reported sustained
wind of 100 mph and a gust to 114
mph. The peak also got 11 inches
of snow overnight, for an October
total of 39 inches.
The wind, rain and snow were
produced by a stronger-than-nor-
mal low pressure system.

Its something his body refuses
to completely adjust to, he said.
Cailteux found himself eating at the
same times as his old schedule, with
his meals being immediately before
he was going to bed. An acid reflux
problem was the result, and hes
been fighting it since.
Its not like you can tell your
bodys urges, like eating, to stop
even though mentally you need to,
Cailteux said. Its a disorienting
process.
Brown also said that students
with sleep deficiencies often suf-
fered from depression and anxi-
ety-induced illnesses. He suggested
medical attention could ease chang-
es in student-sleeping cycles like
those experienced by both Hardesty
and Cailteux.
Brown said melatonin, a hor-
mone that helps regulate sleep-
wake cycles, can help people adjust
their sleep
schedules.
C a r o l e
Gu i l l a u me ,
Watkins phy-
sician and
sleep medicine
specialist, said
b u s i n e s s e s
that operate
at night often
use fluores-
cent lighting
that simulates
daylight and the sun. This can help
employees such as Hardesty to feel
more awake during the odd hours
of their jobs.
The best way to reset your
circadian rhythm is with light,
Guillaume said. Its a way to simu-
late the wake center to get you
reset and used to a different time
schedule.
Cailteux said that sleep depri-
vation and excessive down time
at work has kept alive a reluctant
addiction he began in the Navy
alive.
I smoke cigarettes, and while
thats bad for me, the side effect of
it is that it kind of keeps me up,
Cailteux said. So while socially
people may look down upon it, I do
it for different reasons.
Justin Clay, Kansas City, Kan.,
senior, has increased his caffeine
intake drastically since he began
working as a delivery driver for
Gumbys Pizza, 1445 W. 23rd St.
While he only works three nights
a week, cleanup often keeps him at
work until after 4 a.m. Clay said he
struggles to get to his 8 a.m. class
on less than four hours of sleep.
Clay has also noticed his health
diminishing since starting work at
Gumbys. Clay
said his irregular
sleep schedule
led to irregular
eating cycles,
which led to
recent stomach
problems and
weight gain.
My eating
schedule can
be extremely
abnormal, Clay
said. Ive prob-
ably put on five to 10 pounds since
Ive been there.
Michael Humphrey, assistant
manager at Wheatfields Bakery and
Caf, 904 Vermont St., has devel-
oped into a coffee aficionado since
starting work at the bakery five
years ago. He prefers the 3 a.m.
to noon shift, making Wheatfields
hand-shaped artisan breads, to a
typical 9 to 5 job. Since Humphreys
change of schedule to the early
morning shift, he too has relied on
artificial stimulants to put the pep
back in his step.
I drink espresso by the gallons,
Humphrey said.
Brown acknowledged a natural
attraction to stimulants such as caf-
feine in high-stress circumstances,
but said that stimulants should
never be used as a crutch in sleep-
deprived instances. It is something
he feels students are too often abus-
ing as a substitute for a good nights
sleep.
Humphrey said he prefers the
bakerys more tranquil environ-
ment to many of the other food
delivery and bar-crowd options
available in Lawrence. His cost for
the quieter environment is a social
life Humphrey describes as kind
of cut off.
Its funny going to work early on
a Friday or Saturday when the bars
are just getting out, Humphrey
said. People are really rowdy, and
theres a totally different atmo-
sphere outside the bakery doors
than inside for sure.
Hardestys distractions only
begin with Thursday morning drag
queens. Hes been flashed by a young
woman while at work wanting free
items, been offered extravagant
amounts of money to sell alcohol
after midnight which is illegal in
Kansas and regularly deals with
crowds of homeless people seeking
shelter or conversation.
But the graveyard shift isnt for
everyone. J.R. Burbridge, Spring
Hill senior, was a delivery driver
for Jimmy Johns, 1447 W. 23rd St.
Burbridge worked the late night
circuit for a year-and-a-half, often
ending shifts at 4 or 5 a.m. in
the morning. After accumulating
a large number of absences in his
early morning classes trying to
squeeze in a few extra moments of
sleep, Burbridge began noticing the
disastrous effects his job was hav-
ing on his academic success. After
dealing with the drunken college
atmosphere, Burbridge became
tired of the fast-food industry as
a job.
Ive delivered to people answer-
ing the door completely naked, par-
ties where people offer you shots of
alcohol or to smoke you up instead
of payments, which never really
went over well, he said.
These reoccurring encounters all
led to longer delivery times and the
store closing later than Burbridge
had expected.. It was too straining
on him, and he left his job at Jimmy
Johns for a position at Papa Kenos
Pizzeria.
Kenos is a bit more expensive
than Jimmy Johns, so youre taking
away the crowd thats obnoxious
and drunk, Burbridge said. Plus
we stop delivering at 10 oclock.
While Burbridge may have
escaped the grasp of late-night jobs,
Hardesty continues to punch the
time card of the graveyard shift at
the Kwik Shop.
Generally people are really nice,
which helps things go smooth,
Hardesty said. But honestly, I dont
remember what life was like before
I had to do this.

NIGHT (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABUJA, Nigeria A Nigerian
airliner with 104 people on board
slammed into the ground moments
after takeoff on Sunday the third
deadly crash of a passenger plane in
less than a year in this West African
nation known for its notoriously
unsafe air industry. Six people sur-
vived, and the rest were believed
dead.
Among those killed was the man
regarded as the spiritual leader of
Nigerias Muslims, and thousands of
people gathered at a regional airport
to receive his body.
Rescue workers found debris
from the smashed plane, body parts
and luggage strewn over an area the
size of a football field.
The plane went down inside the
sprawling airport compound about
two miles from the runway. Smoke
rose from the aircrafts mangled and
smoldering fuselage. Its tail hung
from a tree.
Emergency workers pulled black-
ened corpses from the wreckage, then
covered the bodies with white sheets
and hauled them away in stretch-
ers. An Associated Press reporter
counted at least 50 cadavers, though
other bodies had been transported
earlier to local morgues.
The plane was bound for the
northwest city of Sokoto. Witnesses
said there was a rainstorm around
the time the aircraft took off, but
rains later subsided, giving way to
overcast skies.
Mustapha Shehu, spokesman for
the Sokoto state government, had
said earlier that the sultans son,
Muhammed Maccido, a senator, also
was aboard the flight, along with
Abdulrahman Shehu Shagari, son
of former Nigerian President Shehu
Shagari, who was in office between
1979 and 1983. Their fates were not
immediately known.
Last year, two planes flying
domestic routes crashed within
seven weeks of each other in Nigeria,
killing 224 people.
Police make attempt
to stop violence
BY MARK STEVENSON
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAXACA, Mexico Federal
police armed with assault rifles and
riot shields stormed this normally
picturesque tourist destination
Sunday, bypassing barricades and
touching off fierce street battles as
they tried to end five months of
protests and violence.
Officers in black helmets
entered the city from several sides,
reinforced by armored vehicles,
trucks mounted with high-pres-
sure water cannons and bulldozers.
Helicopters roared overhead.
Police marched up to a metal
barrier blocking the historic city
center - which has served as home
base for the protests since late
May - but pulled back as protest-
ers armed with poles and sticks
attacked them from behind, hurl-
ing burning tires.
Protesters could be seen ready-
ing Molotov cocktails and other
homemade bombs, but had yet to
use them against police, who fired
tear gas canisters. The area filled
with black smoke from burning
cars. Some protesters used syringes
to pierce their arms and legs, then
paint signs decrying the police in
blood.
I think their strategy isnt work-
ing, said protest organizer Hugo
Pacheco.
Police and state authorities -
often in plainclothes - have shot
at protesters, setting off clashes in
which at least eight demonstrators
have died since August.
President Vicente Fox, who
leaves office Dec. 1, resisted months
of repeated calls to send federal
forces to Oaxaca until Saturday, a
day after gunfire killed a U.S. activ-
ist-journalist and two residents.
Fearing further violence, the
president had hoped to negotiate a
peaceful end to the Oaxaca unrest.
Normally a beautiful site,
Oaxacas main plaza of historic
arched buildings and towering
shade trees is now covered with
graffiti. Protesters have set up a
group of tents that serve as their
base of operations.
On one major street, police buses
had most of their windows shat-
tered by protesters hurling rocks
and massive chunks of concrete.
While some protesters retreated
as federal forces advanced, others
fortified their blockades, pledging
a street-by-street defense against
police.
Authorities are not saying how
many officers were sent to Oaxaca,
but protesters have estimated there
are at least 4,000 in the city.

Ministers speech disgusting, rightly protected

speech in US
FREE FOR ALL
call 864-0500
Students may have disapproved
of the ministers rant against
homosexuals, Jews, Muslims and
others last Wednesday, but the
First Amendment rightly protects
this objectionable behavior.
Count the editorial board
among those who deplore the
ministers message. But we sup-
port his First Amendment right
to express it. Those students who
tried to suppress his speech were
not only wrong in a legal sense,
but in a practical sense as well.
A speakers messages of hate
and intolerance serve to inform
civil people of the speakers
extremist viewpoints. If hate
speech were banned, how would
we know who hated?
Reasonable people must have
access to this knowledge to make
good decisions, such as wheth-
er to give the men jobs, should
their stint as preachers fail to pay
the bills. At least now we know
that neither Michael Venyah, the
preacher, nor Chris Lemieux, the
cameraman, should hold jobs
teaching religious and cultural
tolerance.
Fortunately, the Code of Student
Rights and Responsibilities does
not prohibit hate speech, unlike
other universities. Courts have
mostly struck down these policies
because the Constitution protects
this type of speech.
Court precedents like R.A.V. v.
City of St. Paul likely make hate
speech codes unconstitutional,
according to legal experts. In the
1992 case, a youth was charged
with violating a hate crime ordi-
nance after burning a cross on a
black familys property. Supreme
Court justices unanimously ruled
against the ordinance because of
its vagueness.
Justice Antonin Scalia, in the
Courts main opinion, wrote,
The First Amendment does not
permit St. Paul to impose special
prohibitions on those speakers
who express views on disfavored
subjects.
Similarly, though we find
Venyahs views repugnant and
offensive, we still support his
right to express those views. His
speech is not worthless; with it,
Venyah lets us know that people
like him exist.
Steve Lynn for the editorial
board.
In response to Bible thumper
a disgrace to University, Ryan
Campbell treats a complicated issue
in America gay rights in a way
that oversimplifies and insults the
LGBT community.
I agree with Campbell that
responding to hate speech with
threats and eggs merely lowers all
involved to the level of the fool
misinterpreting the Bible. I take
issue with Campbells statement that
some people hate queers because
of idiots who act like vicious chil-
dren. He asks, You wonder why
gay marriage is illegal? and answers
by telling those who protested the
man on Wescoe Beach, look in the
mirror.
Campbell forgets that the LGBT
community in this country has long
faced a campaign of hatred. This
comes not just from the religious
right, but also from Americans who
believe homosexuals are sexually
perverse and should not be afforded
fundamental rights. He seems to for-
get that there are people across this
country who are not as vocal as the
man on Wescoe Beach but who feel
similarly.
The hateful actions of many
Americans are responsible for my
inability to marry a man. I would
blame bigoted lawmakers and vot-
ers not angry gay men for the
hate towards the LGBT community
in America.

The editorial on Friday had
some problems with the numbers
(Guaranteed tuition plan unreal-
istic, needs revision). A freshman
coming to the University being
guaranteed a base tuition rate would
pay the average of their next four
years of tuition increases. So the
first two years would be a higher
rate and the second two lower,
respectively.
For a student paying for their
fifth year, the increase would be the
same inflationary rate and would
be an increase over the average of
the preceding four years. So, in the
example of $208 per credit hour for
four years, the fifth year would not
be $265.
For the sake of argument, lets
say freshmen tuition is $100, going
up $5 (not 5%) per year. Without
a guaranteed base the second-year
student would be paying $105, then
$110, then $115, then $120 for the
fifth year, etc. But under a guar-
anteed base tuition, the freshmen
would pay $107.50 for all four years.
If that same student took a fifth
year, it would still be $120, the same
as if we had never been guaranteed
a base rate for tuition.

COMMENTARY
The City postponed the Wal-
Mart proposal again, but that
doesnt mean Lawrence isnt going
to get a second retail monstros-
ity. Postponed isnt the same as
denied, and the long and costly
battle against Wal-Mart will ulti-
mately end with a second store
being built at Sixth and Wakarusa
streets. There isnt a need for a sec-
ond store, especially when the store
on Iowa has just recently undergone
expansion, but trying to understand
Wal-Mart is as futile as trying to
fight it.
There was a period of my life
when I was so outraged by the
business practices of the store that
I vowed to never shop there. In
Lawrence, it was an easy endeavor
thanks to Target, but when I trav-
eled home to see my parents, Wal-
Mart was the only real retail option
I had. Furthermore, it was hard to
stand by my morals when my par-
ents kept sending me on errands
to Wal-Mart to buy their groceries,
toiletries, and prescription drugs.
In the end, I gave up my righteous
fight and fell victim to the drug that
is low prices.
Most Kansas students have
grown up with Wal-Mart. I remem-
ber when I was a kid in Coffeyville,
there was a small Wal-Mart on
our east side of town. Later, a big-
ger and nicer store was built on
the west side. In Independence, a
town nearby, Wal-Mart arrived and
people worried that other stores
subsequently would close. Wal-Mart
promised that it was a good thing
they were coming: They would
bring jobs and their low prices
would force other businesses to
compete, causing a bargain domino
effect. However, I saw a different
domino effect when Dillons, Food-
4-Less, and K-Mart closed down:
When their competitors closed,
Wal-Marts prices rose.
That was my domestic Wal-Mart
experience. I never thought that
I would get to see a Wal-Mart in
China, or factories that produced
goods for Wal-Mart in China, but
this summer I got to do just that.
The Wal-Mart I saw in China
had several floors and sold goods
as cheap as those one could find
on the street. The workers wore
their blue vests, and they looked as
unhappy as many of their American
counterparts.
The factories provided an even
odder experience. I watched dozens
upon dozens of Chinese youth,
mostly women, toil away mak-
ing headphones and toys. With all
the tiny bits, the brightly colored
paint and the non-stop work of the
employees, I felt as if I were in a
miserable Santas toy shop, except I
am sure most of Santas elves would
wear masks when dealing with paint
fumes for hours a day, unlike the
Chinese.
I spoke with a few Chinese col-
lege students and asked them if they
felt that factory owners exploited
workers like the ones I had seen.
Their response was what I had
expected. They believed factories in
developing countries exploited their
workers, but that they were forced
to do so by large foreign corpora-
tions. Wal-Mart buys $18 billion
worth of merchandise from China,
according to wakeupwalmart.
com, and if Wal-Mart were its own
economy, it would do more trading
with China than Canada, Russia,
and Australia.
Even after reviewing the infor-
mation and recollecting my experi-
ences, domestic and abroad, I can
still understand why people contin-
ue to shop at Wal-Mart. Its cheap;
its convenient; some are open 24
hours; and in some towns, Wal-
Mart is the only retail option.
I commend the City for trying to
fight the big, bad bully of a corpora-
tion, but we all know that Wal-Mart
is going to win and that the little
guy (everyone else) is going to lose.
Wal-Mart promises that the new
store will be aesthetically pleasing
and that traffic will not be a prob-
lem, but I have a feeling that Wal-
Mart is just telling the city what it
wants to hear.
Lawrence does not need Wal-
Mart Part Deux. I have accepted
that a person cant beat Wal-Mart,
but I cannot accept extraneous
Wal-Marts. Students, buy your retail
goods at Target or Wal-Mart on
Iowa, and your cheap prescription
drugs at Watkins Health Center.
Save your gas money, and stay
away from Wal-Mart at Sixth and
Wakarusa streets. They may bully
their way into our town, but they
cant bully their way into our wal-
lets.

ST. LOUIS Just days after the
St. Louis Cardinals won the top
honor in Major League Baseball,
their hometown jumped to first
place on a list no one wants to lead:
the most dangerous cities in the
United States.
This Midwestern city has long
been in the upper tiers of the annual
ranking of the nations safest and
most dangerous cities, compiled by
Morgan Quitno Press. Violent crime
surged nearly 20 percent there this
year, when the rate of such crimes
rose much faster in the Midwest
than in the rest of nation, according
to FBI figures released in June.
The ranking, being released
Monday, came as the city was still
celebrating Fridays World Series
victory at the new Busch Stadium.
St. Louis has been spending millions
of dollars on urban renewal even as
the crime rate climbs.
Mayor Francis Slay did not return
calls seeking comment Sunday.
Scott Morgan, president of
Morgan Quitno Press, a private
research and publishing company
specializing in state and city refer-
ence books, said he was not sur-
prised to see St. Louis top the list,
since it has been among the 10 most
dangerous cities for years.
Morgan said the study looks at
crime only within St. Louis city
limits, with a population of about
330,000. It doesnt take into account
the suburbs in St. Louis County,
which has roughly 980,000 resi-
dents.
The safest city in 2005 was Brick,
N.J., population about 78,000, fol-
lowed by Amherst, N.Y., and Mission
Viejo, Calif. The second most dan-
gerous city was Detroit, followed by
Flint, Mich., and Compton, Calif.
The national FBI figures released
in June showed the murder rate in
St. Louis jumped 16 percent in 2005,
compared with 4.8 percent nation-
ally. The overall violent crime rate
increased nearly 20 percent, com-
pared with 2.5 percent nationally.
While crime increased in all
regions last year, the 5.7 percent
rise in the 12 Midwestern states was
at least three times higher than any
other region, according to the FBI.
Visiting St. Louis on Thursday,
FBI director Robert Mueller said it
was too early to tell why some types
of crime were rising faster in the
Midwest.
Mueller said the FBI is working
harder to form partnerships with
police departments to launch pro-
grams like St. Louis Safe Streets task
force, which focuses police efforts
on problematic neighborhoods.
This years ranking was good news
for Camden, N.J., which in 2005 was
named the most dangerous city for
the second year in a row.
Camden Mayor Gwendolyn
Faison said Sunday she was thrilled
to learn that her city no longer
topped the most-dangerous list.
You made my day! said Faison,
who has served since 2000. Theres
a new hope and a new spirit.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TWIN PINES, Calif. While
crews made progress on a wildfire
that killed four firefighters, evacu-
ees began returning to their homes
often to find nothing left.
Carol Hurley stood Saturday at
the still-smoldering wreckage of a
neighbors house but was unable to
bear the sight of what was left of her
own lopsided home.
Im not ready to see it, said
Hurley, 68. I just want to remember
it like it was.
Three of her children and a
grandson dug through piles of con-
crete in search of jewelry and other
valuables, but found little more than
a blackened fork and knife and rem-
nants of her china.
Nearby, other homes were burnt
to the foundation.
Theres nothing left, just a cou-
ple of walls and rubble, said Oscar
Pineiro, 52, who had returned to his
home with his wife.
Fire officials said 34 homes and 29
other buildings have been destroyed
in the fire that broke out early
Thursday in uninhabited brushland
about 90 miles east of Los Angeles.
Evacuation orders remained in
effect for about 500 homes in Poppet
Flat and Twin Pines. Residents were
allowed back in Saturday for several
hours to retrieve personal items and
feed or remove animals.
Meanwhile, firefighters launched
an aggressive aerial attack on the 63-
square-mile conflagration as Santa
Ana winds dissipated, and the moth-
er of one of the firefighters killed in
the blaze that authorities blamed on
arsonists urged those who set it to
turn themselves in.
I firmly believe you didnt believe
that things were going to turn out
the way they did, but they did, said
Bonnie McKay, whose son Jason,
27, died Thursday. Dont let the
remorse eat you alive. Come for-
ward. ... I for one will try not to
judge you.
Fire crews took advantage of calm
weather, using a fleet of helicopters
and airplanes, including a DC-10
jumbo jet, to drop water and retar-
dant on flames.
They expected to get an even big-
ger boost Sunday with temperatures
forecast to drop into the 70s.
Still, forestry officials worried
about the fire spreading in one
area.
Scott McLean, spokesman
for the California Department of
Forestry, said the southeastern flank
was threatening to spread to Black
Mountain, a steep mountainous for-
est that would be difficult for fire-
fighters to access.
If it goes there, the fire is going
to hell in a handbasket, McLean
said.
Firefighters planned to focus on
the south side of the fire Sunday
to prevent any spread toward small
communities including Soboba Hot
Springs and San Jacinto.
The 40,450-acre blaze was 60
percent contained, three days after
blowtorch gusts overran a U.S.
Forest Service crew, killing four
of its members and leaving a fifth
clinging to life with burns over most
of his body.
Firefighter Pablo Cerda, 23, was
in critical condition late Saturday at
Arrowhead Regional Medical Center
after surgery Friday to remove dam-
aged skin.
Investigators combed the area
Saturday, looking for clues on how
the fire engulfed the men so quickly.
They also interviewed firefight-
ers who were nearby when it hap-
pened,
The north side of the fire, paral-
leling Interstate 10, was considered
well-contained. On the west flank,
Highway 79 was reopened after fire-
fighters stopped the fires advance in
that direction.
The fire was set at the base of
a slope in the city of Cabazon.
Residents say they saw two young
men leaving the scene. Authorities
declared the fire arson within hours
of its start but have withheld details
of any evidence they have.

Just when Kansas bad day seemed as
though it was mercifully ending, Colorado
forward Nikki Marshall found a way to
worsen the disaster.
The freshman chased down a long pass
from teammate Brittany Dornseif that
bounced past Kansas sophomore goalkeeper
Julie Hanley, who had come out of the box to
try to stop the ball. Marshall controlled the
ball and dribbled up to the net for an easy
goal with 34 seconds left in the game.
Marshalls goal was the fourth allowed in
the Jayhawks 4-0 loss Friday at the Jayhawk
Soccer Complex. It was Kansas worst loss
since 2001.
Our touch was off, our passes were off,
Kansas coach Mark Francis said. We just
didnt do a whole lot right.
The Jayhawks rolled into Fridays match
on a four-game winning streak in which
they had shut out all their opponents, but
this string came to an end early in the game.
Marshall, who finished with two goals
and one assist, had the ball on the right side
of the box and dribbled into the center. She
used her left foot to kick a slow, rolling shot
that appeared to be wide of the right side of
the net.
Hanley barely went after the ball and just
watched as Marshalls shot stayed straight
enough to end up in the lower corner of the
net. Marshalls goal in the 15th minute ended
a 374-minute streak of holding opponents
scoreless.
We hadnt given up a goal in a while,
Francis said, and when you give one up like
that, its a tough pill to swallow.
It was tough, but the goal was only the
beginning of Kansas unfortunate loss.
After allowing another score in the
first half, the Jayhawks nearly cut into the
Buffaloes lead in the 54th minute.
Senior midfielder Michelle Rasmussen
fired a shot from 30 feet out toward the
upper right corner of the net. Her shot hit
the lower part of the crossbar, bounced
against the ground and then deflected off
the goalkeeper.
Players from both teams stood still, think-
ing the ball went in, but the referee did not
call a goal.

todd reesing, freshman quarterback, glides into the endzone at the start of the fourth quarter of a three-yard run. Reesing, who started at the beginning of the second half, turned around the Jayhawk ofense that previously had been unable to score during Saturdays game.
By ryAn SchnEidEr
Call it a panic move. Or simply call it a
move to save his teams season.
But whatever you call Mark Manginos
move to play freshman quarterback Todd
Reesing Saturday against Colorado, make
sure to call it successful.
For a guy who has continually vowed
not to make changes because they show
panic, Mangino reversed course against the
Buffaloes. The fact that Reesing had never
seen action in a collegiate game before
didnt matter.
With his offense sputtering and his
teams season on the verge of complete
collapse, Mangino decided to go with
Sparky. Reesing was given the nickname
by Mangino after identifying a call during
a meeting last spring, which was called
spark.
He certainly earned his nickname
Saturday, sparking Kansas to 20-15 come-
back victory against Colorado.
Hes a little guy, but he delivers such big
plays, senior running back Jon Cornish
said. He sparked our entire offense.
The move to Reesing did more than just
help Kansas end its four game losing streak.
It saved the teams season and bowl oppor-
tunities for at least one more week.
Reesing started the second half for
senior Adam Barmann, who was pulled
because of his inability to move the offense.
In the first two quarters, Kansas had just
five first downs and only 90 yards of total
offense. Meanwhile, Colorado had already
built a 9-0 lead that seemed larger than it
really was.
After Barmanns second interception, it
appeared Mangino was ready to make the
move hed been contemplating for nearly a
week. Mangino said he approached Reesing
about playing in the coming weeks, on the
trip back from last weeks loss to Baylor.
Mangino again talked to Reesing
about getting an opportunity to play after
Barmanns second interception in the sec-
ond quarter. Reesing said he was told to get
ready to start in the second half.
He just told me to relax and have fun,
Reesing said. So I just went in during
halftime and got loose and ready to play. I
didnt have any reservations.
God bless Texas.
Texas is the home of Kansas very own
Todd Reesing, the 5-foot-10 and some
change true freshman quarterback who
single-handedly saved a game, a season
and possibly his coachs job in one half
of play.
The Austin, Texas, native did what no
other quarterback outside of Brian Lukes
improbable comeback against Iowa State
last year has been able to do in a while
win a close game.
But theres a reason Todd Reesing,
shedding his redshirt nine games into the
season at halftime was able to rally
Kansas in a way that Kerry Meier or Adam
Barmann have yet to do. The kids a Texan.
Its no secret who the best quarter-
backs in the Big 12 are. Chase Daniel,
Colt McCoy and Graham Harrell come
to mind. Oh, and I forgot Shawn Bell and
Stephen McGee, both of whom led come-
back wins against Kansas. And you know
the common thread they all share? Hailing
from the Lone Star State.
High school football is a different beast
all together in Texas. Its life. Movies and
TV shows have been made about high
school football in Texas. Sure, California
and Florida are hotbeds for talent, but the
aura that surrounds football in Texas is
akin to the Holy Land in Jerusalem.
And with the intense love of football
comes the intense pressure. And thats a
reason as big as Texas why kids from there
make the transition to college football so
smoothly. You think that coming back
against a 1-7 Colorado team is the biggest
feat that Reesings ever dealt with before
Saturday? Please.
He probably felt more butterflies
preparing for Lake Travis High Schools
biggest rival than he did carving up the
Colorado secondary last weekend.
And lets talk about that job Reesing did
against the Colorado Buffaloes.

Third quarterbacks the charm for Kansas
Texas freshman shows big-play ability
Who is Todd Reesing?
reesing is a freshman quarter-
back from austin, Texas. saturday
was his frst time
ever playing as a
Jayhawk.
because of his
height, reesing is
often compared to
former Bufalo Bills
quarterback Doug
Flutie. Reesing is
listed at 5-foot-11,
a slight exaggeration.
during high school, reesing
was named the 4a player of the
year in the state of Texas.
He becomes the 11th quarter-
back to play during mark manginos
fve seasons as coach.
by playing saturday, reesing
forfeited his redshirt, meaning that
his eligibility starts this year.
reesing graduated high school a
semester early so he could enroll at
the University of kansas in time for
spring football last year.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. There is
a way to hold onto the ball for two-
thirds of the game, move it some
500 yards, get your best player in
the end zone four times and still
nearly lose the game.
Just ask the Kansas City Chiefs.
At the end of their wild 35-28
victory Sunday over the depleted
Seattle Seahawks, the Chiefs were
feeling more lucky than good, more
grateful than boastful.
That goes to show you what
happens in the National Football
League, Chiefs coach Herm
Edwards said, when you miss
opportunities and turn the ball
over in the wrong area of the field
and give up big plays.
Larry Johnson, Tony Gonzalez,
Damon Huard and Eddie Kennison
all had outstanding days for KC (4-
3), which went over .500 for the first
time all year. The Chiefs had 499
total yards to 240 for Seattle and 42
minutes, 15 seconds of possession
time compared with Seattles 17:45.
But outrageous mistakes let the
Seahawks (4-3) score two unan-
swered touchdowns and grab a 28-
27 lead with about six minutes left.
We just made some silly mis-
takes, including myself, said
Huard, who was a game-day deci-
sion because of a sore groin.
When youve got a chance to
jump on people, youve got to do it.
And we didnt.
Larry Johnson had the biggest
hand in preventing the Chiefs self-
destruction, rushing for 155 yards
and scoring four touchdowns, three
on the ground. He got the go-ahead
score with 2:15 to play with a 3-
yard run after Huard connected
with Eddie Kennison on a 51-yard
pass play.
We made it hard on ourselves
at the end, but came back and
overcame some obstacles and put it
away, Johnson said. We gave them
more chances than they needed.
Seneca Wallace, making his first
NFL start in place of injured Pro
Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck,
put Seattle on top 28-27 with a 49-
yard TD pass to Darrell Jackson
after cornerback Ty Law fell down.
A few plays before that, Law
dropped a sure interception.
Law said he just tripped over
my own feet on the touchdown
pass, and would have had clear
sailing to the end zone had he held
onto the interception.
Late in the third period, Seattles
Kelly Herndon returned a fumble
61 yards for another touchdown
when Kansas City holder Dustin
Colquitt, after mishandling the
snap on a field goal attempt, tried
an ill-advised pass.
About half the team the Seahawks
took to the last Super Bowl seemed
either suspended, demoted or lame.
Besides Hasselbeck the Seahawks
were missing league MVP run-
ning back Shaun Alexander, wide
receiver Bobby Engram and start-
ing guard Floyd Womack, who
were all injured.
In addition, starting right tack-
le Sean Locklear was suspended
this week for violating NFL per-
sonal conduct policy; strong safety
Michael Boulware, who had two
interceptions during last seasons
playoff run, was bumped to the
second team for poor play.
It was a tough ball game. We
battled our hearts out and came
up a little short, said Seattle coach
Mike Holmgren.
Gonzalez, the Chiefs Pro Bowl
tight end, caught six passes for
116 yards and Kennison had six
receptions for 132. Huard, who has
played well in place of the injured
Trent Green, was 17-for-25 for 312
yards and one TD.
Lawrence Tynes hit two field
goals for the Chiefs and Johnson,
with a team-record 39 carries,
scored on runs of 3, 2 and 3 yards
in addition to his 9-yard TD catch.
I dont know whats going on,
said Herndon. Weve got to go
back and look at the film and see
whats going on.

As junior Colby Wissel came
down the Jim Ryun Skyline at Rim
Rock Farm, he said to himself,
Here I am, Ive got to go for it.
Wissel was a few steps behind
Texas All-American senior Joe
Thorne when he changed gears
and blew by Thorne in the final
200 meters to become the Big 12
Champion.
Wissel finished the 8k race in
24:34.40.
I wasnt sure I was going to win
it until I crossed the line, Wissel
said. I had to go for it, and it just
played into my hands today.
Wissel ran with the lead pack
through the entire race and stayed
patient to the end, a lesson he
learned after the NCAA Pre-
Nationals when he got out too fast
and did not finish as well as he
would have liked.
Junior Paul Hefferon placed
forth with a time of 24:41.10.
Defending back-to-back cham-
pion Benson Chesang placed 12th,
good for third on the team with a
time of 24:57.10.
Chesang didnt have much to
say after the race he left to go to
class, coach Stanley Redwine said.
He was absent as his name was
called during the medals ceremo-
ny.
Seniors Matt French and Tyler
Kelly rounded
out the top five
runners for the
Jayhawks.
French placed
33rd with a time
of 25:40.70, and
Kelly placed 34th
with 25:42.60.
Redwine said
he was pleased
with his team.
E s p e c i a l l y
competing at home, we are excited
about the performance by Colby
and the rest of the team today,
Redwine said.
One thing that (assistant) coach
Clark and I stressed was that we
wanted them to fight all the way
through the finish and every one of
them had a great race at the end.
Some runners took the fighting a
little too seriously.
During the race an Oklahoma
State runner hit a Colorado runner
in the face and broke his nose.
R a c e
officials dis-
cussed the
incident for
a lengthy
amount of
time before
c o n c l u d -
ing that the
Okl a homa
State runner
would be
disqualified.
Kansas was tied for second
with Texas, but because Texas had
four more runners finish after the
disqualified runner, and Kansas
only had two, Texas was given the
advantage.
Hefferon stated after the race
that he felt this was one of the
more physical races hed ever been
a part of.
The entire race people were jos-
tling for position, he said. Thats
all a part of the race. Its about
having a competitive attitude and
if you dont have that, you are not
going to do well.
Colorado won the event for the
11th straight year. Texas came in
second and Kansas placed third.
The Midwest Regional
Championships will be next for the
men in Minneapolis on Nov. 11th.

The womens cross country team
was never able to warm up on a
cold day at Rim Rock Farm.
The team was expected to
improve from last years eighth place
finish in the Big 12 Championships,
but instead it finished 11th as a
team.
The goal was for them to place
higher in the meet, coach Stanley
Redwine said. But they are a young
team, and there is a lot of work we
have to do in order to be where I
want them to get.
Junior Lisa Morrisey led the
team in the 6k event with a 45th-
place finish in a time of 22:48.89.
Junior Alicia McGregor placed
57th with a time of 23:13.80, and
freshman Lauren Bonds finished in
23:17.62 for 58th place.
Junior Melissa ORourke placed
68th with a time of 23:33.58, and
junior Melissa Moody placed 71st
at 23:40.28, which rounded out the
Jayhawks top five runners.
Individually, I thought we ran
well, but as a team we were disap-
pointed with where we finished,
ORourke said. That will serve as
motivation for Midwest Regionals,
where we know well need to pack
up more at the front.
Texas Tech sophomore Sally
Kipyego won the event with a time
of 20:00.82. She beat the second
place runner by 45 seconds.
Colorado won the meet for the
10th time in 11 years with a total
of 45 team points. Texas Tech took
second and Nebraska placed third.
The women will turn their
focus to the Midwest Regional
Championships in Minneapolis,
Minn., on Nov. 11 with hopes
of qualifying for the NCAA
Championships on Nov. 20 in Terre
Haute, Ind.

Nowthat freshman
Todd Reesing has proven
himself, Mark Mangino
will have to decide
which quarterback to
give playing time to. If
Kerry Meier is 100 percent
healthy next Saturday
do Reesings minutes go
down to make roomfor
the proven quarterback
or head up because of his
play on Saturday?
Reesing gave the
ofense a spark Sat-
urday unlike any it
has seen all season.
His ability to make something
out of nothing several times
brought an energy to the team
that it has been lacking. His
Texas attitude and moxie may
be exactly what the teamneeds
to bring its swagger back. Now
that the redshirt is of, theres no
reason not to give Reesing the
start against Iowa State to see
what he can do on the road.
KayvonSarraf
There is no ques-
tion that if healthy,
Meier needs all the
minutes he can get
to gain experience. Obviously
Reesing is a quality quarterback
who deserves to be on the feld
at some point, but for now
Meier deserves the minutes. It
might be tough a tough task
to fnd a way for Reesing to get
experience, but Kansas fans
can think of 1.5 million reasons
why Mangino should be able to
fgure the problemout.
Daniel C. Weixeldorfer
Even if Meier is
back at full strength
by next Saturday,
Reesings perfor-
mance against Colorado has
undoubtedly earned himsome
future playing time. After all,
coach Mangino chose to pull
Reesings redshirt, so the young
quarterback might as well gain
experience as the Jayhawks dis-
appointing season wears to an
end. Reesing should be used in
specifc packages and whenever
Meier needs a quick breather.
Having two game-tested and
capable young quarterbacks is
rarely a bad thing.
Asher Fusco
Both Reesing
and Meier spread
the defense with
their running
ability, but Meier gets the nod
because hes the more experi-
enced of the two. Its comforting
to know, however, that if he
falters Reesing will be ready to
take over and lead the ofense.
Jack Connor
Its hard to tell
if Reesing is that
good or Colorado
is that bad, but
after playing the way he did on
Saturday he deserves a start
to prove hes the real deal. He
single-handedly brought the
crowd and the rest of his team
back fromthe dead as soon as
he stepped on the feld. With as
much heat as Coach Mangino
has taken during the last month,
he deserves credit for having the
guts to ditch Reesings redshirt
and make the change necessary
to get a victory.

By shawn shroyer
When Aqib Talib did something
big on Saturday, he made sure people
knew.
On the field, he celebrated inter-
ceptions and pass breakups with
mock jump shots. While field-
ing questions from the media, he
clutched the defensive game ball hed
received for all to see.
Although the Kansas defense
played its best game of the sea-
son, Talib stole the show, nearly
single-handedly shutting down the
Colorado offense.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino said
the victory would allow Talib to
finally get the credit he deserved.
Because weve given up some
passes in our secondary, his out-
standing play has been overshad-
owed in recent weeks, Mangino
said. He played fantastic.
Talib finished the game with a
pair of pass breakups and intercep-
tions, increasing his conference-
leading total in pass breakups to 14
and moving to within one intercep-
tion off the conference lead. Why
Colorado challenged Talib so fre-
quently is a mystery, but the sopho-
more cornerback didnt have any
complaints.
I was surprised, but I wasnt
mad, Talib said.
For his efforts, Talib was rewarded
with the defensive game ball, which
was his first as a Jayhawk. The honor
was a long time coming for Talib, as
was the performance by the Kansas
defense. For the first time in weeks,
the Jayhawks operated as a cohesive
unit on defense.
Senior strong safety Jerome Kemp
led all Jayhawks with 11 tackles and
two tackles for losses. Seven other
Jayhawks recorded tackles behind
the line, three defensive linemen had
sacks and four players other than
Talib deflected passes.
In Colorados four trips to the red
zone, Kansas held it to three field
goals. Until Colorados 61-yard pass
on the last play of the game, the
Buffaloes had only 83 passing yards.
We were banging on all cylin-
ders, Kemp said. As far as the sec-
ondary goes, we are at the point
where we want to be.
But most importantly and for
the first time all season the Kansas
defense didnt allow a touchdown.
Hey, you cant ask for much more
than that, right? Talib said.
Talib said the performance of the
secondary was a result of the players
watching more film, having more
meetings with their coaches and
simply maturing towards the end of
the season.
The secondary also received a lift
fromdifferent situational formations
and yet another new face.
When the Buffaloes were in situ-
ations where they were most likely
to pass, the Jayhawks took out one
of their three linebackers and put in
a fifth defensive back. And whom
did Kansas bring in to play the fifth
defensive back position? None other
than Dominic Roux, senior, who
was playing wide receiver just two
weeks ago.
We just felt like we were playing
with two corners the whole game,
and one of them is a freshman, and
we just couldnt go on like that,
Mangino said. We approached
Dominic, he jumped on it. He said,
All I want to do is play.
Talib said he was glad to have
Roux in the mix in the secondary.
Hes a hell of an athlete and he
needed to be on the field, Talib said.
We have a lot of good wide outs,
so he wasnt on the field that much.
I guess he made a transition for the
best.
Mangino said one thinghe noticed
about his defense Saturday was that
it seemed to have the same swagger
to it that his more veteran defenses
had in recent years. However, Kansas
fans shouldnt expect the Jayhawk
defense to be content with one good
weekend.
Talib wasnt even satisfied with
his virtually flawless performance.
Instead, he was upset with himself
for dropping an interception that
he likely would have returned for a
touchdown.
I missed that one, so I had to get
that one back, Talib said. I didnt
get the six back, so Im still mad
about that one.

Cornerback one interception away from conference lead
By ryan schneider
It took longer than expected, but
Jon Cornish broke the 1,000 yard
mark for the season Saturday.
Te senior running back entered
the game needing just 39 yards to
become the ninth Kansas rusher
to run for at least 1,000 yards in a
single season and the frst since June
Henley in 1996.
Its self-ful-
flling, Cornish
said of breaking
the 1,000 yard
mark. Im satis-
fed.
Based on his
average, Cornish
was expected to
reach the mark
on his sixth car-
ry. Tat didnt
turn out to be the case.
Instead, on his sixth carry, Cor-
nish had 18 yards lef to go. He didnt
cross the 1,000 yard mark until the
middle of the third quarter, when he
broke a run down the lef side of the
feld for a 14-yard gain.
Cornish had 80 yards on the day,
and he had to work hard for every
one of them. Colorado consistently
put seven or eight defenders at the
line of scrimmage to try and stop the
Big 12 Conferences leading rusher.
Te plan worked and Cornish was
held to his second-lowest rushing
total of the season.
I was hoping for a few more
yards tonight, but they came out and
played a lot of
defense, Cor-
nish said. Tey
crowded the ball
like Ive never
seen before.
C o r n i s h s
1,041 yards
currently ranks
11th on Kansas
all-time single-
season rushing
list. Te record
is held by Tony Sands, who rushed
for 1.442 yards in 1991.

There was a certain sense of
what the hell is Mangino doing
versus please let this kid be legit
swirling above Kivisto Field when
the youngster entered the game.
Yeah, his first possession wasnt the
stuff legends are made of, but the job
he did for the rest of the game was.
To start the third drive of his
KU career, Reesing threw a gor-
geous play-action pass to another
true freshman, Jake Sharp, good
for 42 yards and a play that started
the Jayhawks comeback in earnest.
But it was three plays later, when
Reesing dropped back, felt the
pocket collapse, calmly stepped
up and threw an absolute strike
40 yards into the end zone to Jeff
Foster. Foster didnt catch it, but an
obvious pass interference was called
and on the very next play Reesing
hit Cornish with a screen that went
for six points.
After the Foster throw, Reesing
looked toward the end zone, saw
the penalty call, and pumped his fist
as if to say, okay, now were rolling.
And rolling he was.
The poise Reesing showed on
Saturday is something Kerry Meier
knows faintly and AdamBarmanns
only heard about. The way the
offense ran after Reesing got going
was the finest Ive ever seen this
offense and that includes the
Nebraska game this year.
Reesing gives this teamsome-
thing its sorely lacked a play-
maker at quarterback. I know weve
all hyped up Meier and wanted so
badly for himto be the man. But all
weve gotten out of the blond-locked
Kansan is a couple of ugly wins
against bad teams and a shoulder
problemthat leaves me wondering if
hes a bigger version of Dylan.
Mark Mangino knew he had
something special in Todd Reesing,
but Imnot sure he knew just how
special the kid actually was. Forget
the kids height. Hes got moxie, hes
got a big arm, and most importantly,
hes got big-play ability. And when it
comes to big-play ability, everything
is bigger in Texas.

I wanted to be in there.
Despite being listed at only 5-
foot-11, Reesing certainly proved
he belonged.
After an interception on the
second pass of his career, Reesing
seemed to get into a rhythm on the
teams third drive.
He hooked up with fellow fresh-
man Jake Sharp for 42-yard com-
pletion. Sharp lined up in the back-
field, then split out wide, making
the catch in front of the Colorado
sideline and running down to the
34-yard line.
We worked that play all week
and knew it would be good for us.
We knew we were going to start
clicking fromthere on out.
That completion, the longest of
the day for Reesing, set up the first
three consecutive scoring drives.
Reesing finished with three
touchdowns two through the air
and another on the ground.
The difference with Reesing in
the game was that Kansas was able
to go back to the quarterback run
game that had been so successful
with Meier. In fact, it worked so well
in the second half that Reesing
finished the day with 90 yards and
was the teams leading rusher.
Alot of people overlooked him
because they thought he wasnt tall
enough, Mangino said. Thats our
benefit thats our gain. We dont
care what kids look like or how tall
they are. We care if they can play.
He has the ability, no question.
Kansas now just needs two more
victories in its final three games to
become bowl-eligible for the second
straight season. The road back to a
bowl game wont be easy, with two
of those final three coming on the
road, where the Jayhawks have lost
seven straight.
None of that mattered Saturday,
though.
Bumps and bruises dont hurt
as much when youre having suc-
cess, Mangino said. The food in
the cafeteria all of a sudden tastes
like youre at a fine, French res-
taurant. Everything improves when
you win.

By Drew Davison
The Kansas volleyball teams
quest for its fourth straight NCAA
tournament appearance took a blow
when it lost to Texas Tech Saturday
night in the Horejsi Family Athletics
Center.
The Jayhawks lost a five-game
match 30-27, 28-30, 30-22, 28-30
and 9-15. Kansas committed 37 hit-
ting errors on the night, which gave
Tech the advantage.
We are at the point in the sea-
son where execution is more impor-
tant than effort, Kansas coach Ray
Bechard said. You can try as hard as
you want, but you have got to make
the plays.
The Jayhawks postseason dreams
are fading because the team will need
to win five of its final seven matches
to qualify for the tournament. Kansas
has yet to win a road conference
match this season and four of its next
seven matches are on the road.
I challenged this team, Bechard
said. What is November going to
be like? Because you need to forget
talking about the NCAA tourna-
ment, forget talking about this, we
just need to worry about becoming
a better team.
Jamie Mathewson, senior libero,
knows that a lot can change in the
last month.
There are a lot of games left,
even though it doesnt feel like it,
she said. We only have a couple of
home opportunities left and that is
where we have to win.
In the first game, Kansas took
its first lead, 18-17, after a six-point
unanswered run. The Jayhawks
never trailed again, defeating the
Red Raiders by three.
Kansas kept game two close before
Tech pulled away late, winning by
two. The Jayhawks had 10 errors but
the Red Raiders had just five.
The Jayhawks came out strong
in game three, winning by eight.
Savannah Noyes, sophomore middle
blocker, led Kansas with six kills in
the game.
Noyes said the team passed really
well, which helped her to a team-
high 23 kills in the match.
Kansas could not close the door
on Tech in game four. Tied at 25, the
Red Raiders outscored the Jayhawks
5-3 to send the match to a fifth
game. Tech outside hitter Philister
Sang had 10 kills in the game.
She seemed to get better as the
night went on, Bechard said. She
was an All-Big 12 player last year,
and she showed it tonight.
Texas Tech went on an eight-point
unanswered run to take the lead in
the final game 10-4. The Jayhawks
rallied too late and the Red Raiders
took the final game by six.
Bechard said there was still a full
month of volleyball to be played. He
said teams going through a funk
would either get better or fade.
We will not fade, Bechard said.
I guarantee you that wont happen.
The Jayhawks are on the road for
their next two matches. They travel
to Austin, Texas, to face No. 8 Texas
on Wednesday and play at Iowa State
Saturday.

Kansas lost in five games to Texas
Tech on Saturday night, but the night
was devoted to more than just a vol-
leyball game.
October is National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month and the Jayhawk
volleyball team showed its support
for the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation by participating
in Dig for the Cure.
Assistant coach Christi Posey
played a large roll in Kansas par-
ticipating in Dig for the Cure. She
said that while the outcome of the
game wasnt what Kansas had hoped
for, the opportunity to raise money
for a good cause was a welcomed
opportunity.
We certainly value community
service, Posey said. And we thought
this was a great way for us to help.
Though Kansas lost the match by
scores of 30-27, 28-30, 30-22, 28-30,
9-15, the Jayhawks recorded 89 digs.
Senior libero Jamie Mathewson
led the Jayhawk defensive attack
with 23 digs. Senior outside hitter
Jana Correa contributed 22 digs and
junior right side hitter Emily Brown
had 17. All three players were just
one dig short of tying their career
high, and each of them made several
diving attempts to keep Kansas ral-
lies alive.
Coach Ray Bechard was disap-
pointed by the outcome, but he was
pleased with Matthewsons effort.
I thought she was great defen-
sively, Bechard said. I think she
exemplifies what you want in a libe-
ro.
While Matthewson spent much of
her Saturday night running around
the court, Posey said for the past
couple weeks the volleyball team
had been actively seeking pledges
and donations from members of the
community.
I thought our kids really went
with it in getting pledges, Posey said.
I think our kids feel good about the
project and how they helped.
To further show their support, the
volleyball team wore pink ribbons
in their hair during the game. Pink
ribbons were handed out to fans, and
pink Kansas T-shirts were thrown
out to fans every time Kansas had
a serving ace. The team had seven
serving aces in the game.
One fan who was lucky enough
to win a free pink T-shirt was Sean
Allshouse, Lenexa sophomore. He
won his shirt at the fan serve between
games two and three. Allshouse and
his friends have been regulars at
volleyball matches this season and
usually wore blue shirts or painted
themselves blue.
To show their support Saturday,
Allhouse and friends got creative.
They painted themselves pink and
spelled out the word Jayhawks in
blue lettering across their chests.
None of us had any pink T-
shirts, he said. This was the easiest
way to do it. And it was for a better
cause.
The amount of money raised was
not available this weekend.

They discussed the Iraq war

Colorado earned the fifth seed in

No. 5 Texas (8-1, 5-0) 35
Texas Tech (5-4, 2-3) 31
If a more overrated team than
Texas exists, that team has yet to show
itself. Nevertheless, Texas has Forrest
Gump-ed its way to seven straight
victories, and with No. 3 USC los-
ing on Saturday, the Longhorns will
ascend the rankings.
Texas allowed Texas Tech to jump
out to a 21-0 lead after the first quar-
ter, but the wheels fell off the Red
Raider offense after halftime.
For the fourth time this season,
Texas Tech failed to score in the third
quarter. Those struggles carried into
the fourth quarter as the Red Raiders
were shut out in the second half for
the second time this season.
No. 19 Oklahoma (6-2, 3-1) 26
No. 23 Missouri (7-2, 3-2) 10
With the opportunity to give the
Big 12 North a quality win against
a top South opponent, Missouri
choked. After the first 11 minutes,
the Tigers didnt even make the game
competitive.
Missouri led 3-0 when its offense
took the field for its second drive of
the game. The Tigers came out pass-
ing and tight end Chase Coffman
found himself all alone in the Sooner
secondary. However, quarterback
Chase Daniel overthrew him by
merely inches, preventing the certain
touchdown.
Oklahoma forced a turnover the
next play, scored a touchdown on the
ensuing drive, and that was all she
wrote for Missouri.
Oklahoma quarterback Paul
Thompson was adequate. He com-
pleted 11 of 19 passes for 127 yards
and two touchdowns adding 28 rush-
ing yards and another touchdown.
In his second game as the Sooners
starting running back, Allen Patrick
continued to exceed expectations,
rushing for 162 yards on 36 carries.
No. 20 Nebraska (6-3, 3-2) 29
Oklahoma State (5-3, 2-2) 41
Considering Nebraska had just
lost a heartbreaker to Texas, its safe
to say the Cornhuskers overlooked
the Cowboys. Nebraska coughed up
a 16-0 lead in the first half and was
outscored 21-6 in the fourth quarter
by Oklahoma State.
Nebraska, which entered Saturday
ranked third in the Big 12 and 26th
in the nation in rush defense, could
not contain Oklahoma States attack.
Cowboy running back Dantrell
Savage racked up 117 rushing yards
and two touchdowns while his team-
mates combined for 150 more rush-
ing yards and a touchdown.
No. 22 Texas A&M (8-1, 4-1) 31
Baylor (4-5, 3-2) 21
A week after scoring 19 points in
the fourth quarter against Kansas,
Baylors second half woes returned.
For the fourth time this season,
Baylor failed to score in the fourth
quarter. It was also the fourth time
this season the Bears scored seven
points or less in the second half.
The victory gives Texas A&M its
first 8-1 start since the 1998 sea-
son. Just as they have all season, the
Aggies won with a balanced offense,
rushing for 292 yards and passing for
215, maintaining their 200/200 per
game average.
Iowa State (3-6, 0-5) 10
Kansas State (5-4, 2-3) 31
Just when things seemed as if
they couldnt get any worse for the
Cyclones, they did. Iowa State has
now lost four consecutive games and
six of its last seven.
Proving their incompetence on
Saturday, the Cyclones couldnt even
shut down Kansas State quarterback
Josh Freeman. In Freemans five
games leading up to Iowa State, he
completed only 52 of 124 passes
41.9 completion percentage and
threw seven interceptions while being
sacked 13 times. But the Cyclones
allowed him to complete 14 of 20
passes 70 completion percentage
for 161 yards and a touchdown
and only sacked him twice.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL
Solid South dominates weak North division
They came and showed up to play
and we didnt. I think we
underestimated them, and they
took advantage of the
opportunities we gave them.
