As soon as his friend brought a copy
of Guitar Hero to their dorm room, Nick
Jackson knew that it would be different
from other video games.
I first played it and I thought it would
be hard because Ive never played guitar
before, Jackson, Lenexa junior, said. But
then I played and I was able to do it pretty
easily.
Such is the effect of Guitar Hero, the
popular Playstation 2 game that has turned
hoards of KU students into budding rock
stars.
The game became even more wide-
spread last week with the release of its
sequel, Guitar Hero II. Players use a guitar-
shaped controller, a model of the Gibson
SG guitar, complete with five, colored fret
buttons and a strumming button to go
note-for-note playing songs from various
genres.
Kent Domas, San Antonio, Texas, senior,
owns both versions of Guitar Hero. He said
he liked the game because it was simple
enough to play that groups of people could
sit around and enjoy it together. He also
said the ability to make actual music on a
video game was appealing to him.
It kind of gives me that guitar com-
plex, Domas said. All the songs have been
around since we were young and now you
get a chance to play them without actually
learning how to play the guitar.
Not everybody uses the game to pretend
to be a musician, though. Bryan Runnels,
Overland Park senior, said he was able
to enjoy the game despite being the bass
player of an actual band.
I like the challenge it represents because
I can play all the songs on the bass, but
playing them on the game is entirely dif-
ferent, Runnels said.
Though not the same as playing a musi-
cal instrument, the game closely resembles
the action of playing the guitar. Players
watch colored notes scroll down the screen
and hold down the corresponding fret but-
ton while hitting the strumming button in
rhythm. If this is done correctly, the guitar
track of the song will play as it would on a
normal recording.
Kevin Augspurger, manager of EB
Games, said he thought the new game
would see widespread popularity for three
reasons: improved song selection, a new
mode which allowed two players to play
cooperatively on the lead and bass guitar
tracks, and a practice mode for those who
hadnt mastered the first game.
It makes it a lot more accessible to
people just starting, Augspurger said.
Augspurger said the enthusiasm about
the games release was uncommonly high.
A tournament held by EB Games
in anticipation of the release
attracted 50 competitors.
While the first Guitar
Hero game included
a soundtrack filled
with familiar songs,
the second game
was able to use
the popularity
of its predeces-
sor to secure
the rights to
even more
popular songs.
Among the
games 40
playable tracks are rock classics like Guns
N Roses Sweet Child O Mine and Lynrd
Skynrds Free Bird.
The song list on number two is
much, much better than it was on the
first one, Augspurger said. Theres
just so many different kinds of
music on there.
Whatever peoples reasons for
playing, Augspurger summed
up the reason for the games
overwhelming popularity.
Its completely addic-
tive, Ausgpurger said.

Nine students from on-campus
housing governments traveled to
South Dakota for the Midwest Af-
fliate of College and University
Residence Halls Conference this past
weekend.
MACURH is one of eight regions
that make up the National Associa-
tion of College and University Resi-
dence Halls, the largest non-proft
and student-run organization in the
United States.
Te conference provided repre-
sentatives of the University with lead-
ership workshops and informational
services to promote the educational
goals of residence-hall students.
In addition to the University of
Kansas delegates, MACURH includ-
ed representatives from Iowa, Min-
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Dakota, South Dakota and the Cana-
dian province of Manitoba.
Its an opportunity for us to
show of our best and brightest,
said Eric Grospitch, interim execu-
tive assistant of the Department of
Student Housing. And its also a
great opportunity for our students
to gain new ideas to educate the rest
of our population.
Grospitch said that students who
lived in University housing were in
direct contact with the Universitys
resident assistants most often, but
that hall government officials were
the students influencing housing
policies. He said that AURH and
hall governments were responsible
for the smoking ban in residence
halls, for example.
If the students really have a beef
with something, they can go to hall
governments to help inform, edu-
cate and change policies, Grospitch
said.
Stanley Mugeki, AURH advi-
sor, said the conferences emphasis
on discussion between universities
was important communication for
residence hall success. Te confer-
ence was entirely student-run and
was meant to give the participating
universities the opportunity to dis-
cuss strategies for a more successful
residence hall system. Te KU repre-
sentatives are largely responsible for
many of the decisions that afect the
Department of Student Housings
4,700 students.
Jasmine Walthall, AURH vice-
president of programming, attended
the conference and said there were
several programs the group was
planning to bring back for KU hous-
ing residents. Te group will meet
tonight to discuss which projects
and events it will be starting in the
Universitys near future.

KU for Uganda is sponsoring a
showing of the documentary flm
Uganda Rising chronicling the
20-year civil war between Ugandas
leader Yoweri Museveni and the
Lords Resistance Army.
Nathan Mack, KU for Uganda
president, said the group chose to
show the flm to raise awareness
on campus about the situation in
Uganda.
If people are talking about it,
something can be done about it,
Mack said.
He said the confict in Uganda
was closely connected to other
bloody conficts in Africa, such as
the genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
Te flm will be shown at 7 to-
night at Woodruf Auditorium in
the Kansas Union. Admission is free
and students are
able to obtain
GAP credit for
attending.
Te Ugandan
confict started
in 1985 when
Museveni frst
obtained power
by forming the
National Re-
sistance Army
and overthrow-
ing the former president of Uganda,
Milton Obote.
Shortly aferward, in 1987, a
Ugandan named Joseph Kony,
claiming to be a spiritual medium,
formed the LRA to combat the Ugan-
dan government and to establish a
theocratic gov-
ernment.
Garth My-
ers, director
of the Kansas
African Studies
Center, said the
LRA was noto-
rious for violent
attacks on ci-
vilians and for
taking children
and prisoners
into their movement.
Most of the blame is historically
very squarely at the feet of the LRA,
Myers said, but the government
has more or less had a take-no-pris-
oner attitude.
He said the military response
from Musevenis army intensifed
the confict between the two fght-
ing forces.
Myers said the problem was per-
tinent because KU students had
traveled to Uganda, professors had
researched there and Ugandan stu-
dents are present on campus.
Te struggles of any place in the
world are things that matter to the
rest of us, Myers said.

Woman faces jail time
for half-done forgery
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. A womans
attempt to pass a counterfeit $20
bill at a gas station was easily
foiled when the clerk realized
something odd: It was blank on
one side.
Leah R. Jarolimek, 21, of Cedar
Grove, was charged with a felony
count of forgery after her failed
attempt to buy chips and ciga-
rettes, according to a complaint
fled Friday in Sheboygan County
Circuit Court.
Jarolimek handed her drivers
license to the clerk early Wednes-
day to prove she was old enough
to buy cigarettes and the bill,
according to the complaint. The
cashier told police the bill was
placed face up on the counter but
it felt suspicious when she picked
it up.
Teresa Wells said she fipped
over the bill and found it blank.
Jarolimek replied she didnt know
it was fake, the complaint said.
Wells said Jarolimek had to
pay for the chips, which had been
opened. When Jarolimek went to
her car to get money, Wells copied
Jarolimeks information from the
drivers license.
Jarolimek faces up to three
years in prison and a fne of
$10,000 if convicted.
Store donates dresses
for Veterans Day
WEXFORD, Pa. One formal wear
store experimented with the most
literal of Veterans Day sales.
Pete Scolieri, who owns One
Enchanted Evening in the Pitts-
burgh suburb of Pine Township
with his wife, Linda, said they
wanted to show support for the
troops. They decided on giving
away 120 new wedding gowns to
women with military experience
or those who are engaged to past
or present servicemen.
This is just fantastic, said
Rosalind Ramos-Alvarez, who has
been in the military for 21 years.
She set aside two ivory gowns to
try for size.
Most giveaway gowns retailed
between $500 and $2,000, but
one dress was listed for $5,850.
One Enchanted Evening donated
100 dresses and several vendors
donated 20 others.
Its just a matter of hey, these
guys are over there, whether they
want to or not, whether they be-
lieve in the cause or not. So how
can we give something to them?
said Pete Scolieri.
Drivers blame deceased,
avoid paying ticket fees
SYDNEY, Australia Hundreds
of Australian drivers have come
up with a way to weasel out of
tickets: Blame it on a dead guy.
More than 200 motorists have
avoided parking and speeding
fnes by accusing either a dead
man or an out-of-state resident
for their errors, police said Satur-
day.
Under New South Wales state
law, if car owners sign a sworn
statement that they were not driv-
ing the vehicle when an ofense
was committed, they can avoid
paying speed camera fnes that
arrive by mail and parking tickets
left under windshield wipers.
A recent government audit of
the excuses given in those sworn
statements revealed that 238
motorists had blamed one of two
people: a dead man and a person
living in neighboring South
Australia state, Police Superin-
tendent Daryl Donnolly said in a
statement.
Police say a 53-year-old busi-
nessman from South Australia has
been unfairly fooded with traf c
fnes. He believes the scam started
after he rented a sports car in
Sydney.
Some $61,000 of fnes have
been avoided this way in the past
three years, Donnolly said. He said
car owners charged with swearing
false statements face up to fve
years imprisonment if convicted.
Honesty not best policy
for man who found money
NEENAH, Wis. A sanitation
worker who found $1,900 attached
to a discarded desk at a city scrap
heap says he deserves the money
but the city wont give it up.
Its been very hard on me for
being honest and then being told
that because youre honest were
going to pat you on the back and
take your money, David Voight
said.
Voight, 52, found the cash in
July, in envelopes attached by
magnets to the underside of the
metal desk at a junk drop-of site.
Voight turned the money over to
police and waited for someone to
claim it within 90 days.
Now that the 90 days are up and
no one claimed the money, city
of cials have been wrangling over
what to do with it.
City Attorney James Godlewski
said the city owns the money if
Voight found it within the scope of
his duties, but if he was acting as
a private citizen, it would belong
to him.
Voight said he had permission
to scavenge things from the scrap
heap, and he was doing it on his
own time when he found the
money.
It wasnt mine to begin with,
Voight said. But it kind of rubbed
me the wrong way that all of a sud-
den the council said since it was
found on city property you cant
have it.

Douglas County District I Judge
Robert Fairchild has been nominated
for the Kansas Supreme Court.
The 1973 graduate of the
University of Kansas School of Law
is one of three judges nominated.
The other two candidates are Kansas
Court of Appeals Judges Lee Johnson
and Tom Malone.
Nominations for the job were
submitted on Thursday. The posi-
tion will be open after the January
2007 retirement of Justice Donald
Allegrucci.
After graduation from the
University, Fairchild began working
for a local law firm. In 1996 he
was appointed to take the place of
Judge Ralph King on the District
Court. Fairchild was promoted to
chief judge in 2002.
Fairchild said Supreme Court
Justices wore two hats when it
came to Kansas law. He said justices
reviewed cases that come before the
court in an effort to interpret state
laws and served as trendsetters for
the Kansas legal system.
We have an obligation to educate
the public, Fairchild said. We need
to speak when asked to speak.
Haley Pollock, assistant press sec-
retary for Kansas Governor Kathleen
Sebelius, said the commission rec-
ommended two or three appointees
when a spot opened on the bench.
The commission is composed of
nine members from the legal com-
munity, Pollock said. Five are elected
by the Kansas Bar Association and
the other four commissioners are
non-lawyers appointed by the gov-
ernor.
Pollock said the commission
reviewed members of the Kansas
legal community who had exhibited
integrity, character, ability and judi-
cial temperament.
The commission forwards its
recommendations to the governor,
who then reviews each candidate and
makes her final decision.
Sebelius has about 60 days to
appoint a judge to replace Allegrucci
before he retires.

Sitting with his wife in the White
House for Christmas dinner in 1998,
Larry Sinks knew hed done some-
thing right.
Seeing the look on my wifes face
was special, Sinks said while reflect-
ing on the moment.
Sinks, owner of downtown T-
shirt shop Joe-College.com, 734
Massachusetts St., rubs elbows with
dozens of celebrities around the
country largely because of his suc-
cess in the T-shirt business.
Sinks started his first company,
Midwest Graphics, shortly after
graduating from Lawrence High
School in 1981. He bought a press
to make shirts for the World Series
but decided to work with colleges
instead. He started the company as a
way to earn extra cash, not thinking
that it would be a full-time job. But
his business took off in 1988 when
the KU mens basketball team won
the national championship, provid-
ing an opportunity for Sinks to print
shirts commemorating the accom-
plishment.
Though the T-shirt busi-
ness eventually led Sinks to the
White House, it also landed him
in the middle of a lawsuit with
the University of Kansas. The store
sells humorous T-shirts with say-
ings such as Our football coach
is phat. The University took issue
with several of his shirts and sued
claiming licensing violations. Sinks
maintains the shirts in his store
are not intended to represent the
University, but said the recent pub-
licity hadnt helped business.
One year during a trip to the Super
Bowl, Sinks met Hugh and Tony
Rodham, Hillary Clintons brothers.
They hung out and became friends,
which led to three Christmas dinners
at the White House and a golfing trip
with President Clinton. Sinks said
he and the Rodham brothers kept
in touch and usually met up a few
times a year.
Sinks said his father showed him
the value of hard work at a young
age.
If I wasnt playing sports, from
the time I was 11 years old, I had to
have a job, he said. Sinks worked
as a farmhand for his first job and
later moved on to mowing lawns and
pumping gas.
The manager of the Joe-College.
com store, Erin Adams, said Sinks
always had a new idea up his sleeve,
whether it was a new shirt design or
a business idea.
Hes got his hand in a lot of
cookie jars, she said. He has a lot of
creative ways to make money.
With a presidential election not
too far away, the Sinks may soon
be making more trips to the White
House.
Were hoping Hillary runs and
wins so we can go back, Carrie
said.

CIVIL RIGHTS
BY STEPHEN MANNING
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Martin
Luther King Jr. belongs among
American icons like Thomas
Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln,
national leaders said Monday at the
ceremonial groundbreaking for a
King memorial.
We give Martin Luther King
his rightful place among the many
Americans honored on the National
Mall, President Bush told a crowd
of about 5,000.
Kings memorial, he said, will
unite the men who declared the
promise of America and defended
the promise of America with the
man who redeemed the promise of
America.
The King memorial, slated to
open in the spring of 2008, will be
the first monument for a civilian
and black leader on the large park
at Washingtons core. It is also prob-
ably among the last monuments on
the Mall following a 2003 vote in
Congress to sharply limit develop-
ment of the parkland.
The stage in front of the crowd
was filled with Kings fellow civil
rights leaders such as Jesse Jackson,
celebrities like Oprah Winfrey,
politicians including Illinois Sen.
Barack Obama, and three of Kings
children. The memorial will occupy
a four-acre plot on the banks of
the Tidal Basin, near the Potomac
River. The Jefferson Memorial is
across the Tidal Basin, while the
Lincoln Memorial lies to the north-
west, near the river.
The design is based in part on
Kings I Have a Dream speech.

Friends, family and supporters of Martin Luther King Jr. celebrate the groundbreaking of Kings memorial on Monday at the National Mall

A dietary supplement could pre-

and dramatically increases levels of
the vitamin, could both help alcohol-
ics kick their dependencies and lower
the risk that people with thiamine
deficiencies will become alcoholics.
A thiamine deficiency has
long been linked to alcoholism,
Manzardo said. We now believe
that the deficiency may be predis-
posing people to alcoholism instead
of being the result of alcoholic
behavior.
Thiamine helps to break down
sugars and turn them into energy.
The heart and nervous system are
especially prone to a deficiency,
which occurs when proteins do
not turn on the thiamine to run
throughout the body. Thiamine also
keeps nerves functioning normally.
Manzardos theory, which
appeared in the September issue
of Alcoholism: Clinical and
Experimental Research, suggests
that some babies inherit insensitiv-
ity to thiamine that inclines them
to alcoholism later in life. This adds
to proven data that alcoholism is a
genetic disease.
Manzardo said that white matter,
a fatty substance that protects cells
in the nervous system, sometimes
does not develop properly in the
first few weeks of life when there is a
thiamine deficiency.
Individuals with white matter
damage may have impaired judg-
ment when using alcohol and may
be less able to stop themselves from
drinking too much, Manzardo said.
Previous studies have found that
children of alcoholic parents devel-
op at a slower rate, and their motor
skills are especially impaired. White
matter damage in the brain that
results from a thiamine deficiency
is now believed to be the cause of
those developmental issues.
Children who have white matter
damage to the brain develop more
slowly and are much more likely
to become alcohol dependent by
age 30 than those who develop at a
normal rate.
Sons and daughters of alcoholics
are two to four times more likely
to become alcoholics themselves,
Manzardo said.
Wally Mechler, a Lawrence coun-
selor licensed to treat alcohol addic-
tions, said that significant medical
research had linked alcoholism and
genetics.
Between 60 and 70 percent of
my patients actively report that they
have at least one parent who is an
alcoholic, Mechler said.
Alcoholism is difficult to study
because the gene connected with
the disorder has not yet been found
and gathering the data from birth
to adulthood is an extensive pro-
cess. However, if Manzardos theo-
ries prove correct, isolating the gene
may become easier.
Manzardo said she would like to
interview preteens with an inher-
ited thiamine deficiency before they
began drinking and to interview
them again 10 years later to find out
how many had become alcoholics.
The dietary supplement Manzardo
is currently testing may alter how
genetic alcoholism is treated.
Benfotiamine was created in the
1960s to help the nervous system
process alcohol and to abate the side
effects of drinking. It has recently
been used to help diabetics, who have
blood sugar problems that relate to
the thiamine deficiency. A diabetics
body can break down sugars prop-
erly with the aid of Benfotiamine.
Manzardo said the drug activated
the bodys thiamine, increased the
vitamins levels and had been shown
to improve brain function in alco-
holics.
We will see if the supplement has
an effect on drinking and wheth-
er it will help alcoholics recover,
Manzardo said.
The supplement has been suc-
cessful in Europe at reducing the
symptoms of nervous system condi-
tions involved with alcoholism, and
no adverse effects have been found
after a decade of use. Manzardo said
Benfotiamine could eventually be
used to help those who had the thia-
mine deficiency before they abused
alcohol.
Ultimately, it makes sense
to give it to pregnant women or
babies, Manzardo said, especially
people who have a high risk for
alcoholism.
However, Manzardo said she
would not recommend this without
extensive testing that proved there
were no negative side effects.
Mechler said that there were
many available medications now
that helped combat alcohol crav-
ings, but that he saw potential in
Benfotiamine. He also said an entire
lifestyle change was the key to fight-
ing alcoholism.
If it was approved by the correct
governing agencies, I would advo-
cate anything that is safe to help,
Mechler said. I promote supple-
ments, and it is also about a holistic
lifestyle.

KU researcher tests drug
to combat alcohol abuse
BY JOHN HANNA
ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOPEKA Attorney General
Phill Kline once hired a nephew
who was on probation for mari-
juana possession to be his driver.
Kline waged a two-year legal
battle to obtain patient records from
two abortion clinics.
He wrote a church memo to his
campaign staff that the Washington-
based Interfaith Alliance described
as the worst abuse of religion in
American politics during the 2006
election cycle.
None of those issues, by itself,
was fatal to Klines re-election, given
his advantage as a Republican in
a GOP-leaning state. But together,
they drained away his political capi-
tal until the result was inevitable
last weeks electoral thrashing
by Democrat Paul Morrison, the
Johnson County district attorney.
We anticipated by time elec-
tion day rolled around that (Kline)
was going to lose by double digits,
Republican State Chairman Tim
Shallenburger said in an interview.
He was plagued by missteps and
misstatements and people who dis-
liked him picking at him for four
years.
Kline said his nephew deserved
a second chance and has turned his
life around, but there was an incon-
sistency between that message and
Klines persistently tough-on-crime
rhetoric.
Morrison captured 58 percent of
the vote to Klines 42 percent, in a
state where Republicans account for
nearly 46 percent of all registered
voters.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
The space shuttle Discoverys
seven astronauts flew to Florida on
Monday for several days of dress
rehearsal in preparation for their
Dec. 7 launch on a mission to the
international space station.
Led by commander Mark
Polansky, the astronauts will run
through emergency escapes from
the launch pad, practice landing
on Kennedy Space Centers run-
way and learn how to put out fires
on the shuttle. The dress rehearsal
culminates Thursday with the crew
donning their spacesuits, strapping
into the shuttle and practicing a
launch countdown.
Its a chance for us to get a lot
of training and see our vehicle on
the pad for the first time, Polansky
said after landing at the Kennedy
Space Center.
During the 12-day mission,
Discovery will rotate out a space
station crew member, and its astro-
nauts will rewire the space labs
electrical system.
Meanwhile, NASA managers in
New Orleans reviewed a possible
design change to the shuttles exter-
nal fuel tank and could decide this
week to modify the tank for a mis-
sion next March. Foam breaking
free of the external tank has vexed
NASA ever since a piece of foam
struck the space shuttle Columbias
wing during liftoff in 2003, caus-
ing a gash that allowed fiery gases
to penetrate the spacecraft. Seven
astronauts were killed.
The space agency has spent three
years trying to figure out how to
keep foam loss to a minimum.
Also this week, NASA planned
to test-fire solid rocket motors in
Utah to see whether their illumina-
tion provides enough light to take
photographs of the external tank at
night. Discovery is set to be the first
night launch in four years.

The big event on campus last
week wasnt a mens basketball at
Allen Fieldhouse, but a big name
concert at the Lied Center. The
Ben Folds concert on Monday
has capped what has already
been a wonderful use of student
fees.
In April 2005 Student Union
Activities proposed a $5 student
fee increase. The fee was to go
toward bringing in major events
to entertain students, and since
that time they have not disap-
pointed. Much like the ovation
Folds received, the same applause
should be directed to those at
SUA for their commitment to
entertaining students.
Mondays concert was just one
in a smattering of high-profile
events on campus, which had
been missing for several years.
Just last month SUA brought in
comedian Kathy Griffin dur-
ing homecoming week. Last
year, Carlos Mencia entertained
a packed Lied Center. Other
speakers who have visited the
University recently include rap-
per Chuck D and Ken Carter,
whose story was portrayed in the
movie Coach Carter.
Needless to say, SUA has
brought enthusiasm and excite-
ment back to the University.
People waiting in line for tickets
to catch the Ben Folds concert
and selling out entertainment
events at the Lied Center illus-
trates the job SUA has done.
They have come through on
their promise.
With other departments
looking at students for fund-
ing, the SUA asked for a little
and has returned a lot back to
the students. Those who want
to consider hitting up students
for increased fees should take
notice of what SUA has accom-
plished. Giving back to the stu-
dents doesnt hurt if you want
our money.
Louis Mora for the editorial
board.
Usually after an election, we get
to sit back and feel proud of our-
selves for fulfilling our civic duty.
But this year, there is so much more
we can do.
Sunflower Electric Power Corp.
is on the verge of being allowed to
build three new coal fired power
plants in Holcomb, Kans. Why is
this important, you may ask?
First of all, because it means that
instead of pursuing clean, progres-
sive energy technologies such as
wind power, Kansas will continue
to focus on a dirty, polluting energy
source from the time of the dino-
saurs. Lame.
The new plants will emit an
additional 14 million tons of carbon
dioxide per year and the mercury
emitted is expected to be trans-
ported by prevailing winds to the
eastern part of the state, affecting
our health. Only eight percent of
the energy generated will benefit
Kansas, but the plants will be using
our water from the Ogallala Aquifer.
As Kansans, we can have an
influence on the decision whether
or not to allow these plants to be
built.
The decision maker, the Kansas
Department of Health and the
Environment, is having one last
hearing to receive comments about
the issue. It is this Thursday at 6:00
p.m. in the Malott room of the
Kansas Union.
Capitalize on the surge of pride
you felt when you voted and do
something about this issue. And
if you didnt vote, you now have
another chance to make your voice
heard.
Opportunities abound this week
to learn more about the issue:
Wednesday: Tabling in front of
the Kansas Union from 9 a.m. to
3 p.m. and a free showing of An
Inconvenient Truth at 7:30 p.m. in
the Woodruff Auditorium at the
Kansas Union.
Thursday: Tabling on Wescoe
Beach from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and
an information session at 4:30 p.m.
in the Walnut room of the Kansas
Union.
Most importantly, though, attend
the hearing on Thursday. If they
are permitted to be built, these coal-
fired power plants will dominate the
Kansas energy scene for the rest of
our lives.

America is riddled with silly
laws. No one may fish in Chicago
while wearing pajamas. Its illegal to
kiss for more than five minutes in
Iowa. Whiskey is strictly forbidden
in New Jersey for zoo animals.
Rich Smith discovered these laws
while playing a game and decided
come to America for a crime spree
of absurdity.
Smiths book You Can Get
Arrested for That chronicles his road
trip across America and seemed like
it would be an amusing read when I
grabbed it. Behind his commentary,
Smith hints to how the rest of the
world sees America.
From the money (why is a nickel
bigger than a dime?) to the violence
(police in England usually just carry
a nightstick.), things are definitely
different on the other side of the
pond.
After having a gun pointed at his
face in Chicago (he ran a stop sign
and thought the plainclothes offi-
cers were gang members) and hear-
ing children talk about guns in an
airport, he decided to fire one at a
range in Connecticut. While talking
to the regulars about why the police
only carry nightsticks in England,
he said No one needs them (guns)
because no one seems to have them.
Over here, the guns are out and the
only way to combat them is with
more guns.
While gas prices were $3 for
complaining Americans, Smith was
getting a bargain. Gas costs at least
$6 a gallon in England and through-
out Europe, and has for the past
decade, according to an article in
USA Today.
After reading about Smiths
inability to get a beer in Ocean
City, Md., because his license was
not American and the Romanian
waitress blamed it on the stooped
Americans, I wondered how other
countries really looked at America.
I stopped by the German depart-
ment to talk to Julia Trumpold and
Michael Gruenbaum, both teaching
assistants. Julia, a former roommate
of mine, is from a small town near
Frankfurt, Germany. She said she
felt Americans were ignorant about
the world, but claimed they live
in the greatest country in world.
Michael, technically an American
but raised in Germany, agreed and
went on to say that Americans have
a moral superiority they use to
police the world.
Julia and Michael might be on
to something: A 16-country survey
from the Pew Global Attitudes proj-
ect released in June 2005 showed
that the world views China more
favorably than the United States.
The same study showed most coun-
tries have a dislike for Americas
foreign policy and think America
doesnt take other countries into
consideration.
The study showed that the
world views Americans as rude and
greedy. Watching The Amazing Race
on CBS, I can see why. Getting a cab
to drive the pairs is hard enough
when travelers dont speak the lan-
guage, but the pressure of trying to
win brings out a nasty side in play-
ers. Every season, someone yells at
taxi drivers and calls them stupid
because they dont speak English.
On Sundays episodes, teams cut
in line at the taxi station and stole
taxis from Finnish passengers.
Americans should realize that
not everyone in the world speaks
English. Only nine percent of
Americans speak a second language.
Fifty-three percent of Europeans
speak at least one second language,
according to the National Virtual
Translation Centers Web site. The
State Department estimates only
27 percent of Americans have
passports. Are Americans so stuck
in the My country is the greatest
country mentality that they wont
visit other places?
Ignorance of the world shows on
American soil, too. I worked with
several people from different parts
of Africa and they each told me
something shocking Americans
asked them if they lived in trees
back home, and not just once, but
many times. Admittedly, I have
wondered how many children live
in squalor like those in the Feed
the Children ads, but I have never
assumed that everyone in Africa
lives like that.
I also never realized Germany
has 16 states or that not all Germans
wear lederhosen until I lived with
Julia. But I also never assumed it
was Oktoberfest every day, either.
My greatest desire is to travel the
world and see everything it has to
offer, but knowing that when I get
there the locals might think of me
as ignorant or rude saddens me.
Obviously, not all Americans are
rude and ignorant, but thats not
how the world sees it. Flip on the
news, open a book, do something
to broaden your knowledge of the
world.
And dont drink beer out of a
bucket on a curb in St. Louis. You
can get arrested for that.

I think I just saw my RA in the

It is 2:20 a.m. and I just saw a

community bus in the line for Taco
Bell. I didnt know old people had

To the girl in the Free for All who

said she loves Russell Robinson: I
love him more, and he is spoken

Here is the diference between

KU and K-State: This week we had
Ben Folds; K-State had Donald

WASHINGTON Former
New York City mayor Rudy
Giuliani, a moderate Republican
best known for his stewardship of
the city after the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks, has taken the first step in
a 2008 presidential bid.
The former mayor filed
papers to create the Rudy
Giuliani Presidential Exploratory
Committee, Inc., establishing
a New York-based panel that
would allow him to raise money
to explore a White House run and
travel the country.
The four-page filing, obtained
by The Associated Press, lists the
purpose of the non-profit corpo-
ration to conduct federal test-
ing the waters activity under the
Federal Election Campaign Act
for Rudy Giuliani.
The paperwork, dated last
Friday, is signed by Bobby
Burchfield, a partner at the DC-
based law firm of McDermott
Will & Emery, a firm that handles
political work.
Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny
Mindel declined to comment.
One potential rival for the GOP
nomination, Sen. John McCain of
Arizona, said Sunday he was tak-
ing the initial step of setting up an
exploratory committee.
Under federal election law, an
exploratory committee allows an
individual to travel and gauge the
level of support for a candidacy
without formally declaring them-
selves a candidate and adhering
to all the federal rules of fundrais-
ing. An individual who spends
money only to test the waters
but not to campaign for office
does not have to register as a
candidate under the election law.
The GOP field is expected to
grow with Massachusetts Gov.
Mitt Romney, Sen. Bill Frist of
Tennessee, Arkansas Gov. Mike
Huckabee and New York Gov.
George Pataki expected to join
the presidential fray.
Democratic Gov. Tom Vilsack
of Iowa has filed to establish a
full-blown campaign committee
and will make a more formal
announcement of his candidacy
later this month.
Giuliani was widely praised
for leading the city during and
after the terror attacks of Sept. 11,
2001. He has said for months that
he would wait until the end of the
2006 elections to decide whether
to embark on a White House bid.
The former mayor is a moder-
ate who supports gun control,
same-sex civil unions, embryonic
stem-cell research and abortion
rights stands that would put him
at odds with the majority of the GOP
conservative base.
Giuliani has tried to sidestep those
differences and offered strong praise
for President Bush at the 2004 GOP
convention in New York.
It doesnt matter what the media
does to ridicule him or misinterpret
him or defeat him. They ridiculed
Winston Churchill. They belittled
Ronald Reagan. But like President
Bush, they were optimists. Leaders
need to be optimists. Their vision
is beyond the present, and its set on
a future of real peace and security,
Giuliani said.
Some call it stubbornness. I call it
principled leadership.
In 2006, the Giuliani brand
remained strong. He headlined
fundraisers for Republican candi-
dates nationwide and his travel has
done little to deny 2008 ambitions.
During a visit earlier this month to
Columbia, S.C., Giuliani dodged the
question: Theres a chance, but thats
after this election is over.
He then left South Carolina for
New Hampshire, site of the nations
first primary and another GOP fund-
raiser.
Giuliani enjoys strong name rec-
ognition and a recent AP-AOL News
poll conducted in late October found
that among Republicans Giuliani was
essentially tied with Condoleezza
Rice and McCain on who they would
most like to see elected president in
2008.
Rice has insisted that she will not
run.
Giuliani, who was in his final
months as New York City mayor
when a pair of planes crashed into the
World Trade Centers towers, became
a national hero. Within hours of
the attack, the mayor was visiting
the site, caked in dust and walk-
ing through the chaos a moment
replayed repeatedly on television.
Assuming the role of Americas
Mayor and Time Magazines
Person of the Year for 2001, Giuliani
remained an in-demand speaker
and GOP fundraiser. He was the
first Republican to lead New York in
decades, had cut crime and redevel-
oped rundown parts of the city.
He was a former U.S. attorney,
leading campaigns against organized
crime and corruption. He spent two
years as the Justice Departments
No. 3 post, overseeing all U.S. attor-
neys, the Drug Enforcement Agency
and the U.S. Marshals Service. The
Brooklyn native was first elected
New Yorks mayor in 1993.

WASHINGTON President
Bush traded ideas on Iraq with a
bipartisan commission Monday and
promised to work with the incom-
ing Democratic majority toward
common objectives. At the same
time, he renewed his opposition to
any timetable for withdrawing U.S.
troops.
As Bush met with the Iraq Study
Group, the Democrat in line to
lead the Senate Armed Services
Committee, Carl Levin of Michigan,
said the administration didnt see
that were getting deeper and deeper
into a hole.
Levin and other Democrats called
for some troops to come home right
away, suggesting that would pressure
the Iraqi government into assuming
more responsibility.
Bush in turn had stern words for
the Democrats, less than a week after
they won control of both chambers
of Congress in midterm elections in
which the Iraq war figured promi-
nently.
While Democrats agree that
troops should leave Iraq sooner rath-
er than later, they remain divided
on the specifics. Rep. John Murtha,
D-Pa., a contender to become the
next majority leader, supports an
immediate withdrawal of all troops,
whereas Levin and others favor a
slower phased withdrawal and have
been reluctant to suggest a firm
timetable.
Whereas Murtha and some oth-
ers contend violence in Iraq will
continue so long as U.S. troops are
present, Levin and others warn that
any withdrawal of troops must be
done slowly to avoid a collapse in
security.
Bakers panel has been briefed on
the Democrats proposals and is con-
sidering a range of options. In addi-
tion to considering whether there
should be any timetable to pull out
troops, the panel is studying many
other options, including whether to
solicit Iran and Syria to help stop the
fighting.
The president met for more
than an hour with a 10-member
panel headed by former Secretary of
State James A. Baker III and former
Democratic Rep. Lee Hamilton. He
was joined by Vice President Dick
Cheney, Chief of Staff Josh Bolten
and National Security Adviser
Stephen Hadley.
The panel then stayed around for
a longer session that included other
members of the presidents national
security team, including Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice and outgo-
ing Defense Secretary Donald H.
Rumsfeld.

STOLLINGS, W.Va. Four
people taken hostage by a gunman
at a pharmacy overpowered their
captor Monday after he demanded
prescription drugs and fired several
shots, authorities said.
The 90-minute standoff ended
when the hostages, who were bar-
ricaded inside the store with the
gunman, hit him with something,
Sheriff s Deputy B.E. Ferrell said.
None of the hostages was harmed,
but the suspect was taken to a hos-
pital, Ferrell said. The nature of his
injuries was not immediately clear,
but a witness said he had taken a
painkiller and an anti-anxiety drug.
The gunman arrived with a
handgun and a sawed-off shot-
gun, taking six people hostage at
the Family Discount Pharmacy in
Stollings, about 60 miles southwest
of Charleston, according to Logan
County 911 Director Marilyn
Crosby.
Pharmacy technician Jessica
Thompson, 24, said the gunman said
he needed drugs but could not afford
to buy them.
The man told the hostages that
he wanted to kill himself but did not
want to hurt them, Thompson said.
He was given an unknown quantity
of Lortab, a painkiller, and Xanax,
an anti-anxiety drug, which he took,
she said. He then became drowsy.
Workers told the man there were
more drugs in an adjacent building,
Thompson said. She told the suspect
she was going to get the keys to
the other building but ran for help
instead.
I was just afraid he would hurt
the rest of them that were in there,
she said. Another worker in the
store also escaped after a similar
ruse.
Authorities identified the gun-
man as Jeffrey Harvey, 31. They did
not release details about the last four
hostages or how they overpowered
him.

President Bush meets with a bipartisan commission to discuss strategies for the Iraq war on Monday at the White House. Even before the Iraq Study Groups work is finished, the panels report is widely
seen as an opportunity to give the campaign-weary Democratic and Republican parties a chance at consensus or at least a framework for agreement.

Jefrey Harvey, 31, of Logan, was arrested.

Malawi high court to rule
on Madonnas adoption
LILONGWE, Malawi Malawis
High Court said it would rule next
week on whether a coalition of
human rights and child advo-
cacy groups should help decide
whether Madonna is ft to adopt a
13-month-old boy.
Justice Andrew Nyirenda said
Monday he would rule Nov. 20 on
whether to admit the 67-mem-
ber coalition, which includes the
state-run Malawi Human Rights
Commission, as a party in the
adoption proceedings. The coali-
tion maintains the proceedings
have been irregular.
Madonna says she has met all
the countrys requirements for
adopting the toddler, and Davids
father, Yohane Banda, has said
the human rights groups lawsuit
threatens his sons future.
The 48-year-old pop singer and
her husband, British flmmaker
Guy Ritchie, were granted interim
custody of David Banda by a High
Court judge on Oct. 12.
Malawi regulations stipulate
an 18- to 24-month assessment
period be spent in Malawi, but the
couple were allowed to take David
to their London home.
Dzonzi has said his coalition
wasnt trying to block the adop-
tion, but wanted to be a party to
the process to make sure Malawian
laws were respected.
On the eve of the hearing,
Yohane Banda reiterated his appeal
for the human rights activists to
back of and leave my son alone.

Jolie flm creates memoir
of journalist Daniel Pearl
MUMBAI, India Angelina Jolie
hopped onto a crowded Mumbai
commuter train to flm a scene
for a movie about slain journalist
Daniel Pearl, who lived and worked
in Indias fnancial and entertain-
ment capital.
Dan Futterman portrays Pearl
and Jolie plays his wife, Mariane,
in A Mighty Heart.The movie is
based on an adaptation of Mariane
Pearls book, A Mighty Heart: The
Brave Life and Death of My Hus-
band Danny Pearl.
Jolie, 31, had been in the
western Indian city of Pune since
early October flming the movie.
Pune was chosen because of its
resemblance to Karachi, Pakistans
fnancial center, where Pearl was
abducted and killed in 2002 while
researching a story on Islamic
militancy.
Street scenes were flmed of Jo-
lie and Futterman, 39, walking near
the Gateway of India, a popular
tourist destination in downtown
Mumbai. They also flmed scenes
inside a hair salon and a restaurant.

By R.B. FALLSTROM
ASSOciATed pReSS
A week off gave Missouri coach
Gary Pinkel a chance to pay closer
attention to the rest of the Big 12.
He was struck, again, by the
unpredictable nature of the game.
Kansas States upset against then
fourth-ranked Texas was just the
latest example.
In college football, nothing sur-
prises me. Nothing, Pinkel said
Monday on the Big 12 coaches tele-
conference. You saw what happened
all day the number of blocked
field goals across the country is stag-
gering.
All I know is Im in a crazy busi-
ness.
Unstable, too. Pinkel, complet-
ing his sixth season with the Tigers,
is the senior coach in the Big 12
North now that Iowa State coach
Dan McCarney is out after a dozen
seasons. Missouri plays at Iowa State
on Saturday.
We exchanged e-mails, Pinkel
said. Its a difficult part of the busi-
ness. Hes a great coach and a great
person and everything you want in
football.
Texas Mack Brown, in his ninth
season, will become the overall dean
after Saturday. Two days after the
Longhorns loss dropped them from
the national title picture, he had a
wry reaction: No. 1, I feel old today.
I think thats part of the deal.
Thats not the only reason Brown
will miss McCarney, calling him a
great friend and a better coach.
Ive been most amazed by his
energy and the way hes taken a
tough situation at Iowa State when
he got there to a team that competes
just about every year for the North
championship, Brown said. I sure
hope he stays in coaching because
the kids will miss him.
Those and other sendoffs have
been a sign of mutual respect for
McCarney. Now he wants to go out
a winner against a team angling for
bowl position.
They have lost their last seven
games against Division I-A oppo-
nents by an average of 20 points.
I dont know about any trap,
were going to do everything we can
to win our last game for the seniors,
McCarney said. I could not have
had a better experience. These 12
years have been magnificent.
Missouri is one of eight bowl-
eligible teams in the conference. The
Tigers have lost three of four after
a 6-0 start, and Pinkel said it was a
good time for a break.
I think the players are excited
about the opportunity, and a lot of
things are out there, Pinkel said.
Can we play our best?
For Kansas State and Oklahoma,
the answer was yes on Saturday. Of
course, the coaches of both those
programs know theyve got to do it
again.
This week Kansas State gets
Kansas, which needs a victory to
become the ninth Big 12 bowl-eli-
gible school.
This is one of those games that
has their full attention because of
who the opponent is, coach Ron
Prince said. Were tried to make
the case that November is like the
playoffs.
Im sure everyone who was
watching us and the pundits will
jump to a lot of conclusions but
around here were pretty focused.
Kansas State is back in the bowl
picture for the first time since 2003
in Princes first season as head coach.
He believes the Wildcats loss to
Louisville in week four prepared
them for the Texas upset.
The result was not what we had
hoped, but it came at the right time,
Prince said. Hey, they were the No.
8 team in the country, but we can
play with these guys.
It gave us a chance to see where
we were.
Oklahoma (8-2, 4-1) has a shot
at representing the South in the
Big 12 championship game against
Nebraska (8-3, 5-2) on Dec. 2 in
Kansas City. The Sooners need to
win their last two games and Texas
must lose at Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3)
on Nov. 24, but coach Bob Stoops
said that scenario has not been dis-
cussed with his players.
Im talking to our team about
beating Baylor this week, Stoops
said. Theyre smart guys, they dont
need that as motivation.
Were more than able to count,
and in the end weve got to win this
week.
Texas (9-2, 6-1) gets a week off to
recover from the Kansas State loss.
Brown made it a point to congratu-
late Kansas States game rather than
bemoan the breaks of the game.
They did a great job, played with
a lot of enthusiasm and made the
plays necessary to win, Brown said.
We want to make sure they get
credit for doing a better job than
we did.
Weve got to learn from this one.
Weve got a lot of work to do before
we play A&M.
Nebraska also is idle this week
after what could be termed a break-
through weekend for the North.
This conference, theres such
great parity, and I think theres par-
ity across college football, coach Bill
Callahan said. I think its getting to
a point that its cyclical and theres
evidence to back that up.
Baylor coach Guy Morriss, whose
team has been routed in consecu-
tive weeks, said hed consider play-
ing more lightly-regarded schools in
the early season. The Bears are one
of three Big 12 teams who are not
bowl-eligible.
Id like to see us schedule for
success, Morriss said. I think its
important when youre trying to
turn around a program.

San Francisco drops
Olympic bid
SAN FRANCISCO San
Francisco abandoned
its bid to host the 2016 Summer
Olympics after plans for a new
bayfront stadium collapsed when
the San Francisco 49ers said they
intend to move to Silicon Valley.
Los Angeles and Chicago are
now the remaining U.S. candi-
dates to hold the games following
Mondays announcement by the
San Francisco 2016 Bid Commit-
tee.
John York, owner of the 49ers,
told city of cials last week he was
breaking of negotiations for a
new stadium at Candlestick Point
and was considering a move to
Santa Clara.
Scott Givens, managing direc-
tor and chief executive of cer of
the bid committee, said the 49ers
decision created a perceptual
gap that hurt the citys reputa-
tion in the eyes of the Olympic
committee.
The damage has been done
and the damage cant be pulled
back, he said.
The citys Olympic organizing
panel was stunned by the news
last week and said it would try
to fnd a new location for the
marquee events, including the
opening and closing ceremonies
and track and feld competition.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin
Newsom said earlier the city
would give up the bid if it
couldnt guarantee certain
things.
San Franciscos loss can only
help Los Angeles and Chicago,
one of which will be the American
candidate if the USOC decides in
December to nominate a city. The
candidates have to give a detailed
presentation of their plan to the
USOC by March 31. The USOC
would choose its candidate in
April.
The International Olympic
Committee will select the host city
in 2009.
Madrid, Spain; New Delhi;
Prague, Czech Republic; Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil; Rome; and Tokyo
are among the international cities
that also have expressed interest
in landing the 2016 Games. The
Summer Olympics will be in Bei-
jing in 2008 and London in 2012.

lander took home the AL award
Monday.
Ramirez beat out Washington
Nationals third baseman Ryan
Zimmerman by four points in
balloting by the Baseball Writers
Association of America the
closest NL vote since the current
format was adopted 26 years ago.
The speedy shortstop got 14 of 30
frst-place votes and fnished with
105 points. Zimmerman received
10 frst-place votes and totaled
101 points.
Verlander easily won the AL
honor after his closest com-
petitors in a race dominated by
pitchers were sidelined late in the
season because of injuries. The
hard-throwing right-hander, who
helped the surprising Tigers reach
the World Series, was listed frst on
26 of 28 ballots for a total of 133
points.
I was pretty excited. I was
actually outside washing the car.
I totally forgot that today was the

The 22-year-old Ramirez, ac-
quired from Boston last November

homers, 59 RBIs, 119 runs and 51

Japanese infelder
signs with Rockies
DENVER Kaz Matsui,
trying to resurrect his career in
Colorado after foundering in New
York, agreed Monday to a $1.5
million, one-year contract with the
Rockies.
The speedy 31-year-old Japa-
nese infelder hit .267 with 3 hom-
ers and 26 RBIs in 70 games for the
Rockies and Mets combined last
season. With the Rockies, he hit
.345 with two homers and 19 RBIs
and had a .392 on-base percent-
age in 32 games.
He was acquired by the Rock-
ies on June 9 and spent nearly
three months at Triple-A Colorado
Springs working on his game
before returning to the majors on
Aug. 23.
A seven-time All-Star in Japan,
Matsui was the frst Japanese in-
felder to sign with a major league
team when he joined the Mets in
2003 for a $20.1 million, three-
year contract.
In three major league seasons,
Matsui owns a .266 batting aver-
age with 13 homers and 94 RBIs in
271 games.
Matsui can earn an additional
$950,000 in performance bonuses.

Bob Huggins doesnt mind
taking his teams on the road.
He just wouldnt mind doing it a
little later in the season.
Instead, Kansas State will
have just one home game under
its belt before traveling to
Piscataway, N.J., for Wednesday
nights game against Rutgers.
You sign a contract, you
honor a contract, the Wildcats
first-year coach said Monday,
during a conference call with
reporters from his office in
Manhattan. Id like to play this
one probably a little later in the
year, though.
Television obligations made
that impossible, Huggins said.
This is kind of the only place
we could put the game, he said.
Most Kansas State games
will be televised this season.
Thats a perk of hiring Huggins,
who took over in March after
Jim Wooldridge was fired and
brought along the buzz that
comes with taking Cincinnati to
14 straight NCAA appearances
and one Final Four in 16 years
there.
Huggins road strategy for
future seasons is geared toward
keeping the Wildcats on TV and
making sure he can get other teams
to Manhattan, too.
Youve got to get on television,
he said. Were going to do what we
need to do to get on television, but
were also not going to play anyone
thats not a home-and-home situ-
ation.
The Rutgers game, scheduled in
August, was the last one added to
Kansas States 2006-2007 schedule.
It completes a home-and-home deal
that began in 2004.
Huggins wont get into such
agreements with just anyone,
though.
Were going to try to go to areas
where we recruit, he said. Were
not going to go on the road just to
go on the road.
This season, Kansas State starts
home-and-home agreements with
Cleveland State and California and
a two-for-one deal with Xavier
two games in Cincinnati and one in
Manhattan.
Besides Rutgers, the Wildcats
will also complete home-and-home
agreements with three other road
games: New Mexico on Nov. 21,
Colorado State on Dec. 2 and North
Dakota State on Dec. 9.
Wednesdays game will be
Rutgers season opener. Kansas
State beat William & Mary 70-60
on Saturday in Huggins debut,
and on Monday, Huggins was still
not thrilled by a 10-point victory
against a mid-major program that
won only eight games last year.
Weve got a long way to go to
get where we want to go defen-
sively, and weve got some work to
do on rebounding the ball, he said.
We got good shots. Our execution
wasnt terrific, but we got good
shots. Weve just got to start mak-
ing some.
The Wildcats are still learning
Huggins offensive scheme, though.
Remember when you were back
in kindergarten, first grade, when
you were reading, Run, Sally, run?
he said. Thats about where we
are.
Huggins also said he wants
senior swingman Cartier Martin,
who played only 12 minutes and
scored five points against William
& Mary because of early foul trou-
ble, to shrug off his 2-for-9 shooting
performance on Saturday.
I just told him after the game
that he needs to keep shooting,
Huggins said. Hes unquestionably
our best shooter. He just needs to
keep shooting the ball until it starts
going in.

Injuries plague Chiefs key players
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Injuries
to Pro Bowlers and key starters con-
tinued to mount for Kansas City
on Monday when tight end Tony
Gonzalez, having perhaps his finest
season, was declared out this week
and possibly longer.
Coach Herm Edwards said the
seven-time Pro Bowler sustained a
sprained left shoulder in the closing
minutes of Sundays 13-10 loss at
Miami. More will be known with
test results today, but he will defi-
nitely miss Sundays game against
Oakland, Edwards said.
Also out for at least one more
week for the Chiefs (5-4) are Pro
Bowl left guard Brian Waters and
starting right tackle Kevin Sampson.
Still questionable are two defensive
starters who were unable to play at
Miami, linebacker Derrick Johnson
and safety Greg Wesley.
Quarterback Trent Green, in the
meantime, could be cleared to begin
full-time practice this week for the
first time since he sustained a severe
concussion in the season opener on
Sept. 10.
Theyre going to get the tests
tomorrow. Theyll read his evalua-
tion tomorrow and theyll let him
know if theyll let him start partici-
pating in team stuff, Edwards said.
If Green does get cleared to play,
it will force a decision about whether
he or Damon Huard will start.
But no matter who the quarter-
back might be, the Chiefs would
be terribly weakened if they have
to go any length of time without
Gonzalez.
He will probably be replaced
by backup Jason Dunn, an accom-
plished blocker whose receiving
skills hardly compare.
Gonzalez had averaged more
than 100 yards receiving and almost
17 yards per catch in the three previ-
ous games, victories over San Diego,
Seattle and St. Louis that kept the
Chiefs in the playoff hunt.
The 6-5, 250-pounder caught six
balls for 84 yards at Miami and was
keying a second-half rally when he
was injured while fighting through
a double-team making sure Huards
pass was not intercepted.
The Chiefs career leader in
touchdown passes and yards from
scrimmage, Gonzalez trails only
Shannon Sharpe all-time for recep-
tions by a tight end.
Hes getting more tests today
and well find out tomorrow or the
next day the extent of how long hell
be out. This weekend hes definitely
out, Edwards said.
It is a shame, a guy like that, hes
having a terrific year for you and has
been a staple in the last month and
really getting involved in the offense.
Were going to have to find another
way now. Hes going to be missed
this week, obviously. But weve just
got to find a way to get the ball,
when we decide to pass, to other
players.
If Green gets the go-ahead this
week, might he start on Sunday in
place of Huard, who has gone 5-3 in
his absence and played quite well in
holding the offense together?
Well see where hes at, Edwards
said. I cant answer that until I
know the extent of what hes going
to participate in and how hes feeling
in practice. He hasnt done anything
live yet, so well just kind of see.
At this point, its not possible to
know how effective Green, a two-
time Pro Bowler, might be after such
a long layoff.
You cant answer it. You can
answer it in practice as to how he
looks in practice, Edwards said.
But until he actually goes in a game,
no ones going to know.
The coach repeated what he said
last week: A decision on Huard or
Green was not one he had to make
yet.
Whenever (Green) has a chance
to play again, you anticipate for him
to play well. But hes going to be a
little rusty. You know that.
Huard had perhaps his worst
game at Miami, but understand-
ably so. The makeshift offensive line,
with Chris Bober starting for Waters
and Kyle Turley in for Sampson, was
dominated. He was sacked three
times and hit the ground on at least
four other plays while connecting on
15 of 38 passes for 201 yards.
The Chiefs did not make a first
down until late in the second quar-
ter.
Charlie Riedel/ASSOCIATED PRESS
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez will be out for at least the rest of the week after
sufering a shoulder injury in Sundays game. Gonzalez, a seven-time Pro Bowler who is having
one of his best seasons, is just one of many key Chiefs players who has been injured this season.

FOOTBALL (CONTINUED FROM 12A) RIVALRY (CONTINUED FROM 12A)
Regardless, both agree on the
score with Kansas winning 21-7 at
the opening of the new stadium.
Kansas ended the 1921 season by
defeating Missouri in front of 15,480
at Memorial Stadium. When the
stadium officially opened, it had a
capacity of 22,000. According to the
Kansas Athletics Department, the
current capacity is 50,250.
While individual statistics were
not kept back then, Kansas State had
better team statistics than Kansas.
K-State had one more first down,
13, than Kansas and also had more
yards from scrimmage, 116-111. But
two interceptions lifted Kansas to
the victory.
The Kansan said several aggie
rooters made the trip to Lawrence
via train to watch the contest. The
train brought 1,500 K-State fans to
the new stadium.
It is also unclear what K-States
mascot was in 1921. According to
the Kansas State media guide, K-
State was known as the Aggies for
their first 19 seasons (1896 to 1915),
until they switched to the Wildcats
(1915 to 1917) nickname. They were
the Farmers (1917 to 1920) for
a brief period, but have settled for
Wildcats since the 1921 season.
While the Wildcat media guide
has them as the Wildcats in 1921,
the Kansan referred to them, for
the most part, as the Aggies that
year. Farmers was also used in the
article to describe K-State.
In the end, everyone agrees on the
most important statistic: the Kansas
victory.
Kansas football notes from 1921:
Kansas coach Potsy Clark was in
his first of five seasons at the helm.
In 1921, Kansas was in the Missouri
Valley Intercollegiate Athletic
Association.
Forrest C. Phog Allen was
Athletics Director.
Tomorrow, the Kansan recounts
the 1947 game, which was filled with
personal fouls and showcased the
hatred between Kansas and Kansas
State.

sunfower showdown
The Kansas vs. Kansas State
football rivalry started 104 years
ago in 1902.
In this game, Kansas shut out
Kansas State 16-0 to win the frst
game of the historic rivalry. Since
that game, the two teams have
met 102 times. The Jayhawks
lead the all-time series against
the Wildcats, 62-36-5.
In four days, the Kansas and Kan-
sas State rivalry will unfold again
in Memorial Stadium.
While the Jayhawks lead the
all-time series substantially, the
Wildcats have been the domi-
nant team the past decade. In
2004, Kansas defeated Kansas
State, 31-28, to snap an eleven-
year losing streak. With a victory
last season in Manhattan, Kansas
State will look to start a new
streak Saturday.
There is a lot riding on this years
game. Kansas will try to do
something it has never done in
its football history: make back-to-
back bowl games.
Kansas State is coming of a stun-
ning upset victory of No. 4 Texas
last week in Manhattan, and will
look to spoil KUs bowl aspira-
tions. It will also be the frst time
KSU coach Ron Prince comes to
Memorial Stadium.
Drew Davison
More than the injured players,
the bigger concern for Mangino
might be whether his Jayhawks can
regain the momentum they seemed
to find in their last two victories
against Colorado and Iowa State.
After losing four games in a row by
10 or fewer points, Kansas season
seemed lost. Yet after two victories
against the Big 12s worst teams, the
Jayhawks are back on the hunt for a
bowl game, and possibly a winning
season.
Its good to know our kids never
lost their focus, Mangino said.
They stayed the steady course and
kept getting after it, kept sawing
wood. Victories are starting to come
and I think were playing our best
football of the season.
This Saturday the Jayhawks will
need to play their best football of
the season, considering Kansas State
is the hottest team in the conference.
The Wildcats have won three games
in a row, including Saturdays victory
against No. 4 Texas. With the victo-
ry, K-State is receiving votes in both
the Associated Press and ESPN/USA
Today Coaches Poll.
Coming into Lawrence Saturday,
the concern for the Wildcats might
be finding a way to avoid a letdown
after such an emotional victory. But if
K-State coach Ron Princes Saturday
night celebration of the second-big-
gest upset in school history is any
indication, there shouldnt be any
letdown. No, he didnt join in the cel-
ebration in Aggieville or even spend
time enjoying the moment. Instead,
Prince said he spent Saturday night
making plans to prepare his team for
this Saturdays showdown.
I think that this is one of those
games that has our players full
attention because of who the oppo-
nent is, Prince said.
Football Notebook:
K-State game not sold out, yet:
About 2,500 tickets remain for
Saturdays Sunflower Showdown,
associate athletics director Jim
Marchiony said. Kansas has not had
a sold-out game this season. The
last sold-out game was last season
against Nebraska.
QB Shuffle:
Mangino said there would be no
change in the quarterback rotation
that he used last week against Iowa
State. That rotation involved using
both Meier and freshman Todd
Reesing throughout the game.

Mark Mangino on Kansas
State:
Theyre playing at a high
level right now. Theyve
done a great job, when
you look back on the Texas
game, of making plays,
playing with enthusiasm on
both sides of the ball.
Ron Prince on Kansas:
I think that this is one of
those games that has our
players full attention because
of who the opponent is.

Kansas fans caught a glimpse
during the weekend of just how
much running the Jayhawks could
do this season, but they are far from
hitting their stride.
Kansas regular starting shooting
guard, sophomore Mario Chalmers,
saw limited action against Northern
Arizona because of a sprained toe.
Junior guard Jeremy Case hasnt
been in uniform yet this season
because of a pulled groin.
And with starting center junior
Sasha Kaun out for a few more weeks
with a bum knee, dual-threat for-
wards like sophomore Julian Wright
and freshman Darrell Arthur have
been confined to playing predomi-
nantly in the post.
Coach Bill Self said the pace of
Saturdays game was faster than
Kansas had played in recent years,
but he could envision it playing even
more up-tempo.
With Marios toe and not a lot
of depth right now, we dont have
enough bodies to where we can
go out full court, helter-skelter-type
pace, Self said. I think that we can
play much faster offensively.
Nevertheless, Kansas displayed a
lethal ability to outrun opponents
on Saturday, doubling Northern
Arizonas fast break points, 13-6.
Most of those fast breaks stemmed
from turnovers caused by Kansas
speedy frontcourt. The Lumberjacks
committed 21 total turnovers and 14
came from their frontcourt players.
Kansas, led by junior guard
Russell Robinson and Chalmers
who had three steals each, translated
those 21 turnovers into 28 points.
We like to wear teams down, so it
makes our defense better, Robinson
said. When you go out and get easy
buckets it helps the morale of the
team, and everyone just starts to
feed off of that and bring energy to
the game.
In addition to easy baskets,
Kansas fast play helped open up its
outside game. Northern Arizonas
frontcourt was forced to play off
of Kansas guards to prevent them
from driving the lane. Kansas start-
ers responded by sinking six of nine
three-point attempts.
Kansas performance Saturday
also bodes well for the future, both
near and distant. Some of the non-
conference teams Kansas will play
will be undersized and dependant
on playing up-tempo-style games
and Kansas has shown it would be
able to keep up.
Once Chalmers and Case get
back to 100 percent, Self will be
able to run his team even more and
rotate players out when they get
tired. And when Kauns knee heals,
players like Wright and Arthur will
be able to join players like sopho-
more guard Brandon Rush on the
perimeter to create mismatches.
Everybody on the team can run
up and down the court, Rush said.
We can go all day.

BASKETBALL
BY CHRISTOPHER LEONARD
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLAYTON, Mo. Its settled.
Basketball really did evolve from a
childhood game called Duck on
a Rock.
Such are the revelations con-
tained in a newly unearthed trove of
personal documents, photographs
and mementos from basketballs
founder, James Naismith.
The items, including hand-
written diaries and typed notes,
were discovered last spring, when
Naismiths granddaughter, Hellen
Carpenter, went down to her base-
ment to find an old family photo-
graph.
Instead, Carpenter found jour-
nals, keepsakes and typewritten
rule sheets that open a new window
on the birth of one of the worlds
most popular sports.
Carpenter is auctioning off
the documents in December. She
said they settle details about her
grandfathers invention, such as the
Eureka moment when he remem-
bered rules from Duck on a Rock,
a Canadian game he played as a
child, and applied them to his new
game.
The items include the first rules
of basketball; photos of the first bas-
ketball team and basketball court,
and Naismiths description of the
very first game; a whistle Naismith
used as the first basketball coach in
University of Kansas history; and
the passport he used to attend the
1936 Berlin Summer Olympics, the
first to feature basketball as a medal
sport.
The five boxes of documents,
photos and items were handed
down to Carpenter from her mother
Hellen Naismith Dodd, Carpenter
said. She kept them around for
decades without looking through
them.
My mother told me for years
that there was nothing of real value
there, said Carpenter, 74.
Chris Ivy disagreed. As direc-
tor of sports auctions for Heritage
Auction Galleries in Dallas, he was
stunned when Carpenter called
him and described the documents
casually stored in her home in the
St. Louis suburb of Chesterfield.
Documents autographed by
Naismith only surface two or three
times a year, he said. Carpenters
boxes were an especially rare find,
he said.
It almost crosses into history
its not just sports collectibles,
he said.
Naismith carefully recorded bas-
ketballs birth in 1891.
Handwritten diaries show
Naismith was nervous the students
wouldnt like his newest invention
Basket Ball, as he called it.
Before the first basketball game
was played, Naismith prepared the
gym by nailing two baskets to bal-
conies on either end of a court and
posting 13 rules of the game on a
bulletin board.
I felt this was a crucial moment
in my life as it meant success or
failure of my attempt to hold the
interest of the class and devise a
new game, he wrote.
Naismith also noted in his jour-
nal that it took a lot of reminding
to keep students from tackling a
player when he got possession of
the ball.
Naismith knew before his death
in 1939 that he had created a lasting
game when basketball became an
Olympic sport.

Jayhawks defeat Aggies
in new Kansas Stadium
By DrEw DAvison
Editors note: This week, The University
Daily Kansan looks back at four classic
games between Kansas and Kansas State.
oct. 29, 1921
Kansas 21, Kansas state 7
1921 Kansan headline
Jayhawkers swamp aggies in
Great Game
The Jayhawks could not have asked
for a better debut at Memorial Stadium
than when they beat the Kansas State
Agricultural College Aggies by two
touchdowns, 21-7.
It was the first game at Memorial
Stadium, which officially opened as
Kansas Stadium.
At the time, according to The Kansan,
the stadiums north side was not finished
and makeshift bleachers were brought
in for the 9,000 fans in attendance: the
largest crowd at an Aggie/Jayhawk game
to that point. There is some discrepancy,
though. The Kansas Athletics Department
reports 5,160 fans attended.
Whos the best?
Kansas and Kansas State will battle for football superiority on Saturday,
but die-hard fans can appreciate that football is just one way of measuring
which school is better. The Kansan compared the two institutions and found
they really didnt have that much in common at all.

when The new York Times sent a travel writer to kansas in 2005, there probably
wasnt much discussion on which college town to visit. Lawrence is regarded as a speck
of blue in a sea of red, referring to its tendency to vote for Democrats. massachusetts
street is where youll fnd bars, restaurants and shops of every variety. In manhattan,
youll head to aggieville, home of beer, fast food and a gas station. while the gas station
gets points for its clever signs, I just cant bring myself to vote for a place where the larg-
est bar is named Rustys. advantage: Jayhawks
the towns
kansas athletics Director Lew Perkins arrived in the middle of a compliance night-
mare, which landed the Jayhawks on probation for two years. since then he has cleared
house and begun one of the most successful fundraising operations in the Big 12. kan-
sas state athletics Director Tim weiser hired Bob Huggins, and basketball season tickets
sold out for the frst time since 1982. Dont let the smiles fool you; both are exceedingly
capable of cutting the number of student tickets. advantage: tie

kansas running back Gale sayers was ranked 21st on the sporting news list of the
100 greatest football players ever. kansas state kicker martin Gramatica celebrated
every feld goal he made until his brother, Bill, tore his acL celebrating an unimportant
kick with the arizona cardinals. kansas state is helped by nFL backup michael Bishop.
subtract points for the Terry allen years at kansas and its just about even. Luckily, say-
ers greatness makes up for both those things. advantage: Jayhawks

kansas basketball coach Bill self was a fnalist for the naismith coach of the Year
award in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. kansas state coach Bob Huggins was named coach
of the Year by Playboy in 1993 while at cincinnati. He resigned from cincinnati after
being charged with drunken driving in 2005. University of cincinnati attorney monica
Rimai charged that just 27 of Huggins 95 players had graduated, while 21 of them had
signifcant encounters with law enforcement, most of those consisting of arrests, with
many ending in convictions, according to a letter published in The cincinnati Enquirer.
advantage: Jayhawks
Harvard crimson and Yale blue, a nod to two Ivy League schools, are found in the
kansas logo. Jayhawk is a term that referred to those who fought to abolish slavery
in kansas during the time of the civil war. meanwhile, kansas state is represented by
the color purple. The mascot is willie the wildcat, but former football coach Bill snyder
instead asked an art professor to create a more aggressive logo to represent the pro-
gram, and the Powercat was born. willies costume consists only of a head, presumably
because it was half-price at the mascot store. advantage: Jayhawks
kansas alumnus Vernon L. smith won the nobel Prize in Economics in 2002 for his
work on the economics of confict and cooperation. kansas state alumnus Herbert Di-
mond invented the snooze button. while mr. smiths work no doubt has had a positive
impact on world politics for the last fve years, mr. Dimonds work had a positive impact
on my morning. advantage: Wildcats

Week of prepares team
for K-State showdown
By ryAn schnEiDEr
Theres nothing like a well-timed vaca-
tion.
At least thats what football coach
Mark Mangino is thinking heading into
this weeks Sunflower Showdown against
Kansas State.
I think the timing of the break
was perfect, Mangino said during
Mondays Big 12 Football Coaches
Teleconference.
Wed gone 10 weeks in a row. I think
the rest did us good, the fundamental
work did us good. I think it was right on
time, to tell you the truth.
The Jayhawks week off was also a
chance for some injured players to rest.
Freshman quarterback Kerry Meier was
still recovering from a right-shoulder
injury during last weeks victory against
Iowa State. Senior running back Jon
Cornish also battled through minor inju-
ries for most of the season.
And just how healthy are these injured
players?
No healthier than theyve been
recently, Mangino said with a laugh.
