Marc Kingston, Leawood senior, said
he refused to drink bottled water.
Its expensive, he said. Why waste
money when I can get it for free from
the tap?
Instead he drinks four glasses a
day straight from the kitchen sink.
Kimberly Tate, Lawrence senior,
however, switched from drinking
tap water to using a Pur water
filter.
I figured a filter might help
remove the crap in tap water a
little bit, she said.
But whether its filtered, bot-
tled or straight from the tap, all
drinking water contains small
amounts of unwanted substanc-
es, some of which can be found
in your medicine cabinet.
Research has shown that
there can be pharmaceuticals
in the water, said Jeanette

More than 150 students fought
the heat, the hill and their own
stomachs yesterday to race in
Habitat for Humanitys first annual
Crunchy Chicken Challenge.
Participants ran a mile and a
half uphill from the Burge Union
to Wescoe Hall, where they each
stopped to eat a crunchy chicken
cheddar wrap before finishing the
last half of the race.
Joey Meyer, St. Louis junior
and president of KU Habitat for
Humanity, said organizers were
prepared for runners to get sick.
Weve taken the proper precau-
tions, Meyer said before the race.
There are trash cans along the
route, and we even have a special-
ized cleaning crew.

Ashley Mirsepasi, Olathe senior,
died last Wednesday at the Olathe
Medical Center.
Her father, Sam Mirsepasi, told
The Kansan on Wednesday that
Ashley was at her Olathe home on
Sunday when she complained of a
headache. She then collapsed. He
said that doctors said she had suf-
fered a brain aneurysm.
According to a University press
release on Friday, Mirsepasi trans-
ferred to KU in 2008 after grad-
uating with an associate degree
from Johnson County Community
College in 2007. Mirsepasi was
majoring in journalism.
It is always tragic to lose someone
so young, Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little said in the release. On
behalf of the entire university com-
munity, I offer our deepest condo-
lences.
Funeral services will be at 10 a.m.
on Tuesday at the Penwell-Gabel
Funeral Home in Olathe, accord-
ing to the release. Friends are wel-
come to call at the visitation, held at
the funeral home from 5 to 8 p.m.
today. The family requests contribu-
tions be made to Childrens Mercy
Hospital, Kansas City, Mo.

1. Engraving of ancient
menorah found in Israel
JERUSALEM Israeli archaeol-
ogists have uncovered one of the
earliest depictions of a menorah,
the seven-branched candelabra
that has come to symbolize Juda-
ism, the Israel Antiquities Author-
ity said Friday.
The menorah was engraved in
stone around 2,000 years ago and
found in a synagogue recently
discovered by the Sea of Galilee.
Pottery, coins and tools found
at the site indicate the synagogue
dates to the period of the second
Jewish temple in Jerusalem,
where the actual menorah was
kept, said archaeologist Dina
Avshalom-Gorni of the Israel
Antiquities Authority.
The artist might have seen the
menorah during a pilgrimage and
then recreated it in the syna-
gogue, she suggested.
A small number of depictions
of the menorah have surfaced
from the same period, she said,
but this one was unique because
it was inside a synagogue and
far from Jerusalem, illustrating
the link between Jews around
Jerusalem and in the Galilee to
the north.
2. Russia opens credit line
to Venezuela for weapons
CARACAS, Venezuela Presi-
dent Hugo Chavez says Russia
has opened a $2.2 billion line of
credit for Venezuela to purchase
armored vehicles and surface-to-
air missiles.
Chavez said Venezuela
needed new weapons to replace
outdated equipment while
preparing for what he claimed
was a possible U.S. invasion.
The socialist leader frequently
warned that Washington wanted
to seize control of his countrys
oil reserves.
The arms deal was announced
last week during Chavezs visit
to Moscow, and he gave details
Sunday. He says his govern-
ment plans to buy 92 T-72 tanks
and Smerch missile launching
systems.
Venezuela has already bought
more than $4 billion worth of
Russian arms since 2005, includ-
ing helicopters, fghter jets and
Kalashnikov assault rifes.
3. Congregation detains
robber in Virgin Islands
CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin
Islands Members of a church
congregation in the U.S. Virgin

gun-toting robber and held him
captive until police arrived.
Authorities say 18-year-old
Kurt Huggins entered the Iglesia
De Dios Sol de Justicia on St.
Croix island Saturday and or-
dered everyone to lie down as he
robbed them at gunpoint.
They say one man gave up
money to the robber and then
knocked the gun out of his hand.
Other church members then
grabbed the suspect.

4. FBI investigates stolen
note by Jackie Kennedy
DALLAS A Dallas newspaper
reports that the FBI is investi-
gating a stolen handwritten
condolence note by Jacqueline
Kennedy to Ethel Kennedy that
was penned shortly after Robert F.
Kennedys 1968 assassination.
The Dallas Morning News re-
ported Sunday that investigators
and Kennedy relatives suspected
the note was taken from Robert
and Ethel Kennedys McLean, Va.,
home.
The note has changed hands
several times and has sold for as
much as $25,000.
It made its way to a Dallas auc-
tion house in 2006, when it was
consigned by an attorney from
Framingham, Mass. A Kennedy
relative told the FBI that his family
had never given nor sold the note.
The FBI used a search warrant
to seize it Aug. 27 from Heritage
Auction Galleries.
FBI spokesman Mark White says
the note is a stolen good and
part of a criminal investigation.
5. Catholic Church settles
two sexual abuse lawsuits
PUEBLO, Colo. Two men
who fled lawsuits alleging they
were sexually abused by a former
priest have reached settlements
with the Roman Catholic Diocese
of Pueblo, a newspaper reported
Sunday.
Monsignor Mark Plewka of the
diocese confrmed the settle-
ments with a man and his neph-
ew, The Pueblo Chieftain said.
The man alleged Andrew Burke
abused him from 1970-78. The
lawsuits accuse Burke of estab-
lishing a similar relationship with
the mans nephew.
Burke left the priesthood in
1973. He committed suicide in
September 2005 at age 62, after
reporters asked questions about
the allegations.
6. TV show aids in capture
of robbery suspect in Mo.
KINGDOM CITY, Mo. A man
suspected of robbing banks in fve
states has been captured in Mis-

him from the television show
Americas Most Wanted.
The Missouri State Highway
Patrol said in a news release
Sunday that Chad E. Schafner was
arrested Saturday at a motel in the
small town of Kingdom City, about
25 miles east of Columbia.
The 37-year-old Indianapolis
man was wanted on felony war-
rants for bank robbery, burglary,
armed robbery and receiving sto-
len property. Authorities think he
robbed banks in Illinois, Kentucky,
North and South Carolina and
Tennessee.
Schafner was named a suspect
in the robberies after bank surveil-
lance photos from holdups dating
to May were fashed on electronic
billboards across the South.

In a Sept. 10 article titled
Library Display Raises AIDS
awareness,The Kansan incor-
rectly reported that there were
300,400 people living with HIV
or AIDS statewide according
to the Kansas Department of
Health and Environment. There
article should have reported
there were 3,000-4,000 people
according to the most recent
state-by-state estimates from
the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
Participation in the race cost $15,
and runners received a Habitat for
Humanity T-shirt and their choice
of a chicken or veggie wrap. The
race was designed as a light-hearted
way to raise money for KU Habitat
for Humanity.
Nathan Klein, Overland Park
freshman, attended the event but
did not participate. He said he want-
ed to help the cause, but that his
stomach couldnt handle the run-
ning, eating and running again.
Id lose the contents of my stom-
ach, and then some, he said.
Meyer said the decision to have
runners eat crunchy chicken ched-
dar wraps was especially appropri-
ate for students.
Its kind of a cultural icon here
on campus. Its delicious, its popular
and we wanted it to be a part of our
event, he said.
The event was inspired by a simi-
lar event at North Carolina State
University called the Krispy Kreme
Challenge, Meyer said. Runners
there had to eat a dozen donuts
before finishing the race.
Many participants, like Brad
Evans, Minnetonka, Minn., junior,
and Jobie Buehler, Bonner Springs
junior, showed up to the event
wearing colorful costumes. The pair
did not take off their female sumo
suits once throughout the three-
mile race.
Were two sexy ladies ready to
compete, and take home the gold,
Evans said. Were holding nothing
back.
Valerie Peterson, Wichita fresh-
man, didnt share their energy. She
said she came for the free wrap and
T-shirt and was going to walk.
Even if I ran, I think the people
in the fat suits would just run past
me, she said.
KU Habitat for Humanity hopes
to make the Crunchy Chicken
Challenge an annual event. All pro-
ceeds went to help fund the con-
struction of a house in Lawrence.

University begins search for provost, deans
AdministrAtion
BY JESSE RANGEL
jrangel@kansan.com
Now that the new chancellor is
in place, University administrators
say its time to begin the search for
a new provost.
Lynn Bretz, director of communi-
cations for the University, said it was
a priority for Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little to select a new provost.
Though Gray-Little will make
the final decision on a provost, she
chose a search committee, which
was announced on Sept. 2. The
committee will hold its first meet-
ing today. Mabel Rice, a Fred and
Virginia Merrill distinguished pro-
fessor of advanced studies, is the
chairwoman of the committee. Bretz
said Rice was one of the Universitys
top researchers.
Its really a blue-ribbon group,
Bretz said.
Mason Heilman, Lawrence senior
and student body president, will
also serve on the committee. He
said it was important to find a can-
didate who was able to work with
students because the provost deals
with student issues more directly
than the chancellor.
Im excited to see who the can-
didates are, and I really have no
doubt that KU will attract some
top-notch candidates, Heilman
said. Hopefully it will be a tough
decision for us.
The previous provost, Richard
Lariviere, was hired to be the presi-
dent of the University of Oregon
last March. Danny Anderson, vice
provost for academic affairs, is serv-
ing as the interim provost.
Search committees have also been
named for the dean of the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences and the
School of Music. The search for the
deans will happen at the same time
as the search for the new provost,
but Bretz said naming the provost
was still the priority.
Greg Simpson is serving as the
interim dean of the College. Joseph
Steinmetz, his predecessor, accepted
a position at Ohio State University.
The School of Music opened
July 1. John Stephens, professor of
voice and opera and chairman of
the music dean search committee,
said the committee for the School of
Music was scheduled to meet next
week. He said it was important to
find a candidate with a love of music
and dedication to training students
who were pursuing music degrees.
As a professional musician
myself, and I am one of many pro-
fessional musicians who are on this
faculty, we realize how competitive
the musical world is, regardless of if
its classical or Broadway, Stephens
said. To me, one of the main duties,
at least in my mind, is simply to lead
and inspire the faculty and students
of this School of Music.
Joyce Castle, professor of voice
and opera and dean search com-
mittee member, said the committee
would look for someone to bring
the School of Music to a very high
level.
We all will be thinking about
who we know in the field who
might be interested or we think
will be really wonderful for the job,
Castle said.
Stephens said although the music
program had been strong when
it was in the School of Fine Arts
before, the move to make a separate
school would make the focus on
music much more specific.
I think it enables us to find
a person who really has strengths
in music and leading musical pro-
grams, Stephens said

KABUL About 50 Taliban
militants died in a battle in west-
ern Afghanistan after an insurgent
ambush killed three U.S. troops,
an Afghan official said Sunday.
The fighting took place in a
region controlled by militants that
has been the site of huge battles
in the past, some that have caused
high numbers of civilian casual-
ties.
In Saturdays clash, a militant-
fired rocket struck a home and
killed a woman and a teenage girl,
Afghan police said.
The battle followed an insur-
gent ambush that killed three
Americans and seven Afghan
troops, said Afghan army spokes-
man Maj. Abdul Basir Ghori.
The ambush involved two road-
side bombs, gunfire and rocket-
propelled grenades, the U.S. mili-
tary said Sunday.
Fighting which included
NATO airstrikes continued for
six to eight hours after the ambush,
U.S. military spokeswoman Capt.
Elizabeth Mathias said.
She couldnt provide casualty
figures and no other Afghan offi-
cials immediately confirmed the
death toll.
The combined ISAF and
Afghan force was receiving sig-
nificant small-arms, RPG and
indirect fire throughout that time
frame, she said, referring to the
NATO-led International Security
Assistance Force.
Saturdays violence came the
same day that Afghan officials
said 50 other civilians, security
forces and militants were killed
in a spate of attacks around
Afghanistan, including 20 non-
combatants killed in two roadside
bomb explosions.
Violence has risen steadily
across Afghanistan in the last three
years, and militants now control
wide swaths of the countryside.
The U.S. and NATO have a
record number of troops in the
country, and the top command-
er in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley
McChrystal, is likely to soon
request thousands more.
A record number of U.S.
and NATO troops have died in
Afghanistan already this year..

Students split on Obama speech
POLITICS
BY JESSE BROWN
jbrown@kansan.com
Throughout American his-
tory, presidents since Theodore
Roosevelt have attempted to crack
what some consider to be one of
the nations toughest issues: health
care.
President Barack Obama,
in a speech to
Congress on Sept.
9, addressed both
the criticisms and
the new direction
the nation would
take with the
hotly discussed
issue.
Like Congress,
KU students have
varying view-
points on Obamas plan.
One of the primary com-
plaints about Obamas speech is
the uncertainty of how the new
administration plans to tackle the
health care reform.
I just thought it was more of
the same, said May Davis, mem-
bership coordinator for College
Republicans. Theres four bills
floating out there right now, and
he never once specified any of
what he was talking about and he
basically talked about the same
thing that he always talks about.
You know, we need to cut costs;
obviously we need to cut costs.
How are we going to cut costs?
The vagueness
of the speech was
something that Libby
Johnson, a Democrat
and off-campus
senator for Student
Senate, said that she
could understand but
didnt necessarily see
as a problem.
Its just a 45-min-
ute speech covering
everything, Johnson, Lawrence
junior, said. You cant get into
every detail. Of course he was
vague. In this coming week theres
going to be a lot more develop-
ments and a lot more specifics,
but, yes, I can see how that would
be a criticism.
Johnson said that
she also wanted to
hear the details of
Obamas plan to
reform health care.
In a bipartisan
agreement, Obama
is planning to reduce
the financial effects
of lawsuits for medi-
cal malpractice.
Doctors, in order to fight these
lawsuits, buy insurance for them-
selves so they can cover the costs
of such lawsuits.
Some, however, have argued
that the money could be used for
better purposes.
Theres certain parts of the
plan that I think Republicans very
much agree with, Eric Foss, presi-
dent of College Republicans, said.
Foss said that he was hesitant,
however, to think that Obama
would actually change the policy,
despite having discussed the mat-
ter on national television.
Im happy to hear hes willing
to concede on that point, but Im
going to wait to see if he actually
does or not, Foss
said.
A l t h o u g h
Obama has
become known by
many for his pow-
erful public speak-
ing, some observ-
ers said that they
were still left
wanting details.
I think the president is a very
talented public speaker, and hes
very good at using soaring lan-
guage, Foss said. I think if the
Democrats want to start winning
people over to their side on the
health care bill, theyre going to
need to start proposing real poli-
cies, not just soaring language.
Although four bills from dif-
ferent committees are current-
ly out there, Sen. Max Baucus
(D-Mont.) said that his Senate
Finance Committee, the last com-
mittee involved, would meet in
about two weeks to begin drafting
legislation.
Edited by Alicia Banister
Some expressed hope, others cynicism, after presidents address to Congress on health care
I just thought it was
more of the same ...

SALINA, Kan. Salina animal
control officers knew the dog they
saw looked like a pit bull.
It didnt matter that the dog in
question, Angie Cartwrights family
pet, Lucey, had never bitten anyone,
or had never acted out aggressively.
When Cartwrights brothers dog,
which she was pet sitting, got loose
from her yard someone called ani-
mal control. The officers picked up
the dog and collared Lucey in the
process.
The officers explained that they
were taking Lucey to a veterinarian
for a breed check a professional
opinion to determine Luceys breed.
Since 2005, Salina has had a ban
on owning unregistered pit bulls
and mixed breeds that are predomi-
nantly pit bull.
Today, Lucey is back home, and
Cartwright credits a genetic test kit
that helps pet owners identify the
heritage of their mixed-breed dogs.
The test found a minor amount
of Luceys DNA came from
Staffordshire Bull Terrier genes
a little more than 12 percent, not
close to a predominant percentage.
Maybe this can save someones
animal, hopefully, Cartwright said.
Without the test results,
Cartwright and her family would
have been faced with finding Lucey
a home outside of Salina, or leaving
her at the animal shelter to be either
adopted out to someone not from
here or destroyed.
There are at least three retail
genetic tests currently on the mar-
ket for dogs.
One of those is the Wisdom Panel
MX mixed breed analysis, which is
offered by a local vet clinic, Town

Merkel faces opponent in debate
GERMANY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BERLIN Chancellor Angela
Merkel faced her challenger in a
subdued TV debate two weeks
before German elections, arguing
Sunday that the country needs a
new center-right government to
boost Europes biggest economy as
it emerges from recession.
Center-left challenger Frank-
Walter Steinmeier, who is oppos-
ing Merkel in the Sept. 27 vote and
trailing badly in polls, portrayed
himself as a champion of social
balance and said a shift to the
right would mean a growing gap
between rich and poor.
Polls by two television chan-
nels found neither candidate scor-
ing a decisive victory in a debate
that, like much of the campaign,
was short on passion and personal
attacks.
RTL put Merkel ahead by a
37-35 percent margin; ARD gave
Steinmeier a narrow 43-42 percent
win.
Merkel, a conservative, was
looking to strengthen her chanc-
es of ending an awkward grand
coalition with Steinmeiers Social
Democrats. In a second term, she
aims to form a new center-right
government with a pro-busi-
ness opposition party, the Free
Democrats.
This grand coalition has
worked well under my leadership,
Merkel said, pointing to a decline
in unemployment since she took
office in 2005.
But I think that we pursue this
course with more determination
... and so I am campaigning for a
new government, she said. The
grand coalition did great work
and now in the most serious
crisis since the 30s we really
need a determined policy for more
work.
Steinmeier, Merkels foreign
minister and vice chancellor, also
praised the coalitions work, but
insisted it fell short of its possibil-
ities because Merkels Christian
Democratic Union failed to sup-
port center-left proposals such as
the introduction of a minimum
wage.
He pushed that call, arguing
that a downward wage spiral in
Germany must be stopped. Merkel
said a one-size-fits-all minimum
wage would mean jobs lost, and
argued for each industry to set its
own minimum.
Merkel is pledging tax relief,
though no date has been set. She
argued that would motivate peo-
ple and stimulate growth to pull
Germany out of its worst eco-
nomic crisis since the 1930s.
The key question is how do
we get out of this valley as fast as
possible? Merkel said. For me, a
three-word sentence is the credo:
growth creates jobs.
Steinmeier was quick to coun-
ter, however, that with the gov-
ernment racking up big debts to
deal with the crisis, that isnt
possible.
A center-right government will
mean that those who helped cause
the crisis are not made responsible
for its costs; (it) will mean that the
gap between poor and rich grows;
(it) will mean that there is a return
to nuclear power, he said.
Both candidates defended the
decision to offer billions in credit
to help a Canadian-Russian con-
sortium buy a majority in auto-
maker Opel from General Motors
Co.
A company that builds great
cars has been given a chance, said
Merkel. Steinmeier defended the
move as saving jobs.
One issue where they sparred
was Germanys plan to shut down
all 17 nuclear plants by 2021.
Steinmeier is defending that plan,
worked out by his partys previous
government with the Greens. The
grand coalition has stuck with
it, but Merkel wants to extend the
life of some reactors until more
sources of renewable energy can
be developed.
The nuclear exit must stay,
Steinmeier said. But Merkel said
nuclear power should still be used
as a bridging technology until
Germany can shift to renewables.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The White
House and members of Congress
on Sunday played down an imme-
diate role for a government health
insurance option and turned
attention to regulating insurers,
with the goal of lowering costs
and ensuring coverage regardless
of medical condition.
After a summer taking heat
on health care, President Barack
Obama has gone back on offense
on his top domestic issue, most
notably with a prime-time speech
to Congress last week. He told the
nation that the time for bicker-
ing is over and a plan for the
government to sell insurance in
competition with private industry
was only a means to that end and
we should remain open to other
ideas that accomplish our ultimate
goal.
With that statement, Obama
began the difficult task of try-
ing to lubricate negotiations on
Capitol Hill, to push opposing
lawmakers away from positions
both left and right that were
threatening stalemate. Thats what
happened when Bill Clinton, the
last Democratic president, tried to
push through an overhaul in the
1990s.
O b a m a s
s p o k e s ma n ,
Robert Gibbs,
drove home that
point again on
Sunday, focus-
ing on the pub-
lic option idea
to help provide
coverage to the estimated 45 mil-
lion uninsured Americans.
The president prefers the pub-
lic option. However, he said whats
most important is choice and
competition, said Gibbs, adding
that it is not all of health care.
Sen. Olympia Snowe, the Maine
Republican who could be her par-
tys only senator who votes with
the Democrats on health care,
thinks choice and competition
can be ensured without a govern-
ment plan.
Its not on the table. And it
wont be, she said. Snowe said it is
universally opposed by all GOP
senators and therefore, theres no
way to pass a plan that includes
the public option. So I think hes
recognizing that.
Snowe said a better bet for now
as the means for injecting com-
petition are nonprofit insurance
cooperatives, designed to compete
with private industry and give
consumers more choices.
Such co-ops are in place in parts
of the country, but their success
has been spotty. And Obama will
have to be convinced that such a
plan can succeed.
I have no interest in having a
bill get passed that fails, Obama
told CBS 60 Minutes. He said
he intends to be president for a
while and once this bill passes, I
own it.

A
new parking policy has
made for many frustrated
students and many unan-
swered questions. While the new
moped parking policy is said to be
good for the safety of pedestrians,
it could potentially discourage
students from riding mopeds and
from making an environmentally-
friendly decision.
On Sept. 1, The Kansan
reported that the Department of
Parking & Transit will be forcing
moped drivers to park in certain
designated cycle areas, starting in
Fall 2010.
Steven Schrock, chair of the
parking commission for the
University, said the primary goal
for this move was to protect
student safety on campus, but
acknowledged how students might
be discouraged from driving
mopeds in the future.
Clearly that is
not our goal, he said.
We want to provide
parking for those with
mopeds and also be
aware of all safety con-
cerns.
Schrock said the issue of
mopeds possibly being a safety
hazard sprung from many recur-
ring complaints that moped drivers
were not driving safely near cross-
walks and sidewalks.
While he understood the mind
set of a moped driver, he said the
number of mopeds being driven on
campus had made parking more of
a challenge.
The focus now turns to where
the moped drivers will be able to
have to park, and how much they
will have to pay for permits. The
price for a motorcycle permit
$15 per year will likely be the
same price moped drivers will have
to pay to park on cam-
pus. Currently there is
no permit for moped
drivers.
Schrock said one of
the main options being
discussed is to have
mopeds park in motorcycle park-
ing areas.
If mopeds and motorcycles were
to share parking, Schrock also said
some car parking could be taken
away to make up for the extra
moped parking needed. The task
of deciding where parking will end
up and how much permits will cost
will not be decided until later.
This is part of the reason why
this is a two-year plan, Schrock
said. This first year is to just let
people know and gauge where the
high-demand areas are.
The Parking Commission and
Department of Parking & Transit
should be cautious about how they
are resolving this issue. It should
be a goal to ensure that all stu-
dents who want to drive mopeds
to campus can do so, but for an
affordable price, if any price at
all. Furthermore, current park-
ing spaces should be preserved. If
the new policy requires too much
money to come out of students
pockets or takes away a significant
amount of parking spaces, it should
be reconsidered.

M
ost girls I knew in my
public high school
hated the dress code.
We couldnt wear spaghetti-
strap tank tops or skirts that
fell shorter than our fingertips.
This seems pretty lax compared
with some private schools or
schools that require uniforms.
But in many high schools, if you
violated this policy you could
receive detention or a trip to the
principals office.
Instead, what if you were
issued a pricey fine and then
publicly beat with a whip?
In Sudan, the government
imposes laws on the southern
part of the country it claims are
in line with Islamic law in the
Southern part of the country.
Female Sudanese journalist
Lubna Hussein was arrested
in July for wearing trousers in
public.
Hussein was charged with
indecent dress because she
was wearing pants in a caf in
Khartoum, Sudans capital city.
It was reported on Sept. 6 by
the New York Times that she
faced the possibility of a $100
fine and 40 lashings. Then,
on Sept. 8, the Times reported
that Hussein was fined $200
but was not sentenced to physi-
cal punishment. Hussein was
subsequently placed in jail for
neglecting to pay the fine. She
has recently been released, pos-
sibly because a supportive com-
mittee may have paid the fine
for her.
Hussein has become some-
what of an icon for womens
rights advocacy and defiance
in the face of an oppressive
regime. Her refusal to pay
the $200 fine demonstrates
an unwillingness to give in to
unjust laws. Hussein recently
quit her job as a public infor-
mation assistant at the United
Nations because she didnt want
to involve the organization in
her case.
She has already received
international recognition and
support, and the more attention
her case gets, the more pressure
the Sudanese government may
feel from international actors
to relax their policies and harsh
punishments.
Not many students who
have lived in the United States
their entire lives can imagine
undergoing a public whipping
for merely dressing in a way the
government deems inappropri-
ate. A government spokesper-
son said the ambiguous laws
concerning dress were main-
tained to protect the people.
A better way to protect the
people would be to stop the
ongoing genocide in the Darfur
region of Sudan instead of
meddling in issues of religious
practice by arresting women for
wearing pants.
The reality is that the govern-
ment isnt doing anything about
the Darfur crisis because the
government is the perpetrator
of the genocide. Instead, the
government enforces policies to
control women under the guise
of Islamic law.
While the genocide in Darfur
should be the primary concern
regarding Sudan, we cannot
dismiss the tyrannical laws
that may continue to bind the
citizens of the country after the
genocide ends, if it in fact does.

Living healthy requires
personal responsibility
HumAn riGHTs
A
midst all of the contro-
versy surrounding health
care reform, it is time to
step back and examine the real
problems plaguing America. A few
issues immediately come to mind:
obesity, smoking and extreme
stress. Yet despite these all being
easy targets, the link behind every-
thing from diabetes to heart disease
is not so simple.
The difficult issue we face today
is even more American than fried
chicken and apple pie: It is the
great tradition that we, as a society,
have of seeking a scapegoat for our
problems.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, 75
percent of health care dollars are
spent on treatment of preventable
chronic diseases. Based on these
numbers, something is undeni-
ably wrong with the condition of
America. It is as if the connection
between increasing medical bills
and personal responsibility was lost
somewhere between plowing the
family farm and pulling up to the
drive-thru window at McDonalds.
True, insurance businesses may
be guilty of profiting from medical
costs. Government expenditures in
health care may be inefficient. The
grandmothers of our country may
even be conspiring to make us fat
with that extra cup of butter in our
biscuits. But, at the end of the day,
it is the individual who is the real
culprit of poor health.
Just think the money
demanded by insurance companies
would be far less if we put down
the fries before our arteries needed
unclogging. The money spent
by the government in providing
insurance could be more widely
disbursed if those covered didnt
have such high demands. The
grandmothers might even decide to
reduce the butter if they knew we
didnt like it so darn much.
Michael Pollan, author of
In Defense of Food: An Eaters
Manifesto, recently wrote a
column in the New York Times
pointing out the link between
rising health care costs and the
cheap, fast and unheathly foods
in demand (and frequently subsi-
dized). He added that, regardless
of government action, there would
be a problem with health care in
America as long as there is a prob-
lem with American health.
Pollans point is crucial. He made
the significant link between diet,
which the individual has complete
control over, and overall well-
being. Nonetheless, in centering his
argument on nutrition, Pollan was
guilty of finger pointing. While bet-
ter eating practices may be (or are)
essential to improving health, this
focus skirts the deeper issue that
refusal to take personal responsibil-
ity comes with consequences.
From democracy to helping a
friend in need, America has some
great traditions. However, the time
has come to let go our national
practice of seeking others to blame.
So squeeze in that extra hour of
sleep. Exchange car keys for walk-
ing shoes every now and then. And
for goodness sake, put down that
seventh slice of pizza.

The award-wining video features
Reynolds group, Nerds in Disguise,
performing Lits My Own Worst
Enemy. It also features an unusual
type of party, where people from
two different walks of life come
together to share a good time.
Reynolds said he and his friends
knew from the beginning they
wanted to depict a college party
in their video. Making the party
look realistic, however, became a
challenge within the contest rules,
which stated that all video sub-
missions had to
incorporate both
Pepsi and Rock
Band products,
could only feature
music from a pre-
approved list of
songs and could
have no more
than 10 people
shown.
The problem is you cant have
a party with only 10 people,
Reynolds said, so we decided to
double each of us up to make it
look like there were actually 20
people.
In the video, each person plays
two characters: a nerd and a rock
star. Reynolds said the main mes-
sage was there could be unity
between two cliques of different
people, such as rock stars and
nerds. The party-goers can be seen
downing plenty of Pepsi in keg-
party fashion.
In some of
Reynolds more mem-
orable scenes from the
video, he pours soda
over his head and
rides a childs bicycle
into a pool.
In an interview with
The Kansan before the
winners were chosen,
Reynolds said he hoped to bring a
Moonman award back to Lawrence
and keep it in his dorm room.
Ill polish it up and put it in
a trophy case, thats for sure,
Reynolds said.

Klamm, spokeswoman for the
Lawrence Utilities Department.
But its too soon to know what the
effects are going to be.
The University purchases its
water from the Lawrence Water
Treatment Plant, which treats water
from Clinton Lake and the Kansas
River.
Klamm said the Lawrence
Water Treatment Plant didnt test
for pharmaceuticals on a regular
basis because no Environmental
Protection Agency regulations
required it to do so. She said she
wasnt certain when Lawrence last
tested the water for pharmaceuti-
cals.
According to the EPA, pharma-
ceuticals and personal care prod-
ucts, or PPCPs, range from prescrip-
tion and over-the-counter drugs to
lotions and cosmetics. As of 2007,
more than 100 PPCPs had been
identified in environmental samples
and drinking water. Oftentimes,
drugs enter the water supply when
people flush their unwanted phar-
maceuticals.
Although the first study of PPCPs
in rivers was nearly 30 years ago,
it has been only within the past
decade that equipment and test-
ing methods have been advanced
enough for scientists to detect the
drugs, according to officials.
Research also has shown that
conventional water treatment meth-
ods are only moderately successful
in completely removing the drugs.
Concerns of experts in this field
center on long-term, cumulative
effects of exposure to a variety of
unwanted supplements, which to
date remain unknown.
With the studies leaving more
questions than answers, no stan-
dards yet exist to regulate safe levels
of exposure to pharmaceuticals in
our drinking water.
ConCerns
One of the major concerns of
pharmaceuticals in drinking water
is the cumulative effects of ingest-
ing unintended substances during a
long period of time.
As Christian Daughton, an EPA
scientist and authority on PPCPs
in water supplies, said in his 2008
study, Simultaneous exposure to
multiple drugs, each significantly
below its individual safe level, could
result in combined action as a result
of additive or interactive effects.
Craig Adams, chair of the civil,
environmental and architectural
engineering department with the
University, said although he thought
most concentrations of pharmaceu-
ticals werent high enough to harm
humans, there were two exceptions
antibiotics and hormone com-
pounds.
The presence of antibiotics can
build up antibiotic resistance, mak-
ing the drug less effective in treating
patients.
The presence of hormone com-
pounds, such as estrogen, can dis-
rupt metabolism and sexual devel-
opment in children.
Hormonal compounds have
extreme power on our endocrine
system at extremely low concentra-
tions, he said.
Hormone compounds probably
have no effect on adults because
they are no longer developing, but
there is no research on the subject
yet.
Adams said he still thought
drinking tap water was as safe or
safer than drinking bottled water.
Mike Meyer, a research geochem-
ist with the Lawrence office of the
U.S. Geological Survey, presented a
third concern. He said he wondered
whether filtering the pharmaceu-
ticals could change their chemi-
cal makeup into more hazardous
forms.
environmental
Contamination
According to Daughton, pharma-
ceuticals primarily enter the envi-
ronment one of two ways: throwing
pills down the drain and perform-
ing bodily functions.
The primary route is through
routine bodily functions, such as
urination, and when chemicals wash
off our bodies when we bathe.
The active ingredients of phar-
maceuticals have probably long
been present in drinking water ever
since pharmaceuticals first came
into widespread use, Daughton
said in an e-mail. Their presence
is a direct result of their intended
use.
The human body doesnt metab-
olize medications completely.
Studies have shown that up to 90
percent of some oral medicines
can pass through the human body
unchanged.
Daughton said the second route
PPCPs enter the water system was
when people threw their unwanted
pills down the drain.
Adams said people could focus
on preventing pharmaceuticals
from ending up in the environ-
ment by prescribing correct doses,
prescribing medication only when
it is needed and properly disposing
of pharmaceuticals.
Instead, Watkins Memorial
Health Center Chief Pharmacist
Cathy Thrasher said pharmaceu-
ticals should be handled as haz-
ardous materials. Unwanted
drugs should either be taken to
the Watkins Pharmacy or to the
City of Lawrence/Douglas County
Household Hazardous Waste
Facility, 711 E. 23rd St.
Both facilities accept pills free of
charge.
Water filtration
solution
According to the EPA, PPCPs
stay in the environment, particularly
in the water, because the chemicals
dont dissolve easily or evaporate
at normal temperatures and pres-
sures.
PPCPs return to the drinking
water because methods used today
arent capable of removing all the
compounds, Adams said. He said
one of the least effective methods in
removing pharmaceuticals was by
using powdered activated carbon,
which is what the Lawrence Water
Treatment Plant uses to filter its
water.
Although that method removes
volatile organic compounds such
as pesticides and industrial toxins,
Adams said, the method is not as
successful in removing drugs from
the water system.
Suzanne Rudzinski, EPA deputy
director for Science and Technology
in the Office of Water, said the most
effective methods for the removal
of pharmaceuticals from drinking
water were also the most expensive,
reaching potentially billions of dol-
lars in investment.
One example she cited was using
reverse osmosis to filter water,
which could cost millions of dollars
for an individual city, according to
Bob Mesick, a designer with Remco
Engineering, a water treatment sys-
tem manufacturer out of Ventura,
Calif.
Klamm said the Lawrence plant
was not looking to change its system
for the time being.
studies
Adams and a team of envi-
ronmental researchers exam-
ined raw and finished drinking
water from parts of the Missouri
and Mississippi rivers this sum-
mer. Adams study found small
amounts, measured in parts per
trillion, of several PPCPs, the most
prevalent being caffeine, antibiot-
ics and ibuprofen.
Adams is not the first to discover
PPCPs in drinking water. Previous
research determined that:
n 80 percent of 139 streams in
30 states contained at least one
contaminant; 54 percent had more
than five contaminants; and 13
percent had more than 20 con-
taminants, according to a study by
the U.S. Geological Survey from
1999 to 2000.
n Of 20 drinking water facili-
ties, all contained the insect repel-
lant DEET in their raw samples,
and 90 percent contained it in
their treated samples. More than
65 percent of the treated samples
also included anti-anxiety medica-
tion, anti-seizure medication, ibu-
profen and a radiation-blocking
agent, according to a 2007 study
by the American Water Works
Association Research Foundation.
n More than half of 20 U.S.
drinking water facilities in a 2008
EPA study contained at least three
contaminants: 83 percent included
an herbicide chemical, 78 percent
included an anti-anxiety medica-
tion, and 56 percent had an anti-
epileptic medication.
However, these studies deter-
mine exposure, not the potential
harm that could come from it.
And until more is known about
the toxicity of exposure levels
of these pharmaceuticals recur-
ring in drinking water supplies,
Rudzinski said, the EPA would
wait to release any formal regula-
tions of the substances.
In the meantime, the EPA is
developing test methods and
determining successful ways to
remove the pharmaceuticals from
the drinking water.
The City of Lawrence is keep-
ing our eyes and ears open to
make sure we do the right thing,
said Aurora Shields, water quality
manager for the City of Lawrence.

It was an up-and-down week-
end for the Kansas soccer team,
with two closely-contested games
and a single, scoreless draw against
Colorado College Sunday to show
for it.
Coach Mark Francis said he was
glad the team was able to bounce
back from a bad effort on Friday
against Denver, which it lost 2-1.
He said it had four or five good
opportunities to score but that
the Colorado College goalkeeper
Caitlin Hulyo made a few good
saves.
We fought really hard, Francis
said. We deserved to win the
game, to be honest with you.
But Francis did not think the
team deserved to beat Denver.
Both Francis and junior defender
Lauren Jackson said they thought
the team didnt show up against
Denver Friday even though they
started with the lead.
Kansas scored first after sopho-
more forward Emily Cressy lofted
a shot over Denver goalkeeper Lara
Campbell. Junior midfielder Rachel
Morris found Cressy open near the
top of the box, and she turned and
put the Jayhawks ahead 1-0.
But less than three minutes later,
Denver scored on a header from
Kaitlin Bast to knot the score at one
going into halftime.
Both teams had their chances in
the second half, but it was a Denver
free kick from 25 yards out that
sealed Kansas fate. It skipped just
to the right of senior goalkeeper
Julie Hanley and put Kansas behind
for the first time all season.
We just misjudged it, Francis
said.
The Jayhawks furiously tried to
even the score, but couldnt avoid
their first loss of the season.
On Sunday, neither Kansas nor
Colorado College could find the
net, coming to a scoreless draw
after 110 minutes of play. However,
Francis said he couldnt fault his
teams effort.
After we played so poorly on
Friday, I was sort of curious how
they would bounce back today,
Francis said afterward. I was
proud of them because I thought
they really handled it well.
Kansas 22 shots reflected the
number of opportunities they
had to come out of the weekend
with a victory. Freshman forward
Whitney Berry led the barrage
with six shots.
Berry nearly scored twice after
breaking free on the far side of the
field in the second half. Her first
attempt was saved, but the rebound
came back to her feet. Her second
attempt glanced off the near post.
The Jayhawks had chances
until the very end. Francis said
he thought Jackson scored with
around five seconds left to play. He
said Jacksons attempt was about
an inch wide.
Jackson said she thought the
team didnt need to get better
in any way, but they needed to
improve mentally.
I just think we need to show up
for every game, Jackson said.
Their record drops to 5-1-1 with
the Kansas Invitational looming
this weekend. They take on San
Diego at 5 p.m. Friday.

Senior defensive end Maxwell Onyegbule sacks UTEP quarterback Trevor Vittatoe during the frst half Saturday evening. Onyegbule fnished with two sacks in Kansas' 34-7 victory, helping the teamcontinue its undefeated season.
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
In a tunnel separating the locker
rooms in the moments after
Kansas 34-7 Victory at UTEP
two UTEP defensive backs hud-
dled over the box score from the
nights game.
They looked at it for a minute,
shook their heads in frustration
and quickly crumpled the sheet of
paper into a ball.
This is shit, one of the defen-
sive backs said.
He wasnt lying.
At the bottom of the Franklin
Mountains in UTEPs Sun Bowl
Stadium, Kansas defense demon-
strated how, exactly, to contain the
spread offense.
In the week leading up to
Saturdays game, a popular ques-
tion floated around Kansas foot-
ball team: How would the once
heavily-criticized secondary fare
against UTEPs offense? If statistics
are any indication, Kansas didnt
struggle much.
The Miners totaled just 204
yards and were held scoreless for
three quarters.
Anytime someone talks bad
about you, you want to get things
fixed and turned around, senior
cornerback Justin Thornton said.
Thats one thing were working
on.
The most appetizing matchup
before the game featured UTEPs
pass-heavy, potent offense vs.
Kansas secondary. It figured to
be a high-scoring game. Instead, it
wasnt much of a contest.
The Jayhawks not only con-
tained the Miners offense, they
never even let it get going.
Perhaps most impressive,
though, is the manner in which
Kansas played defensively. The
defensive line had six sacks and
constantly created enough pressure
to disrupt UTEPs offense.
It was a welcomed relief for a
secondary that was often forced to
hold coverages for extended peri-
ods of time last season.
Its a good feeling when youre
out there covering guys and you
look back and the quarterback is
on his back, Thornton said.
Facing a team capable of scoring
plenty of points, Kansas defense
made UTEPs offense look bland.
The first-half numbers alone are
staggering.
Kansas held UTEP to just 32
total yards. Quarterback Trevor
Vittatoe, who tossed a school-
record 33 touchdowns last season,
passed for 52 yards. He was inter-
cepted once by cornerback Justin
Thornton.
And, somehow, it gets worse.
The Miners ran 12 times for 20
yards on the way to accomplishing
a rare feat: totaling more penalty
yards than total yards in the first
half.
UTEP finished the game with
four rushing yards.
Our defense is very strong here
and it usually is, senior running
back Jake Sharp said. We have
hard-nosed guys and they had a
great game today. I think they real-
ly came together and really showed
everybody how they can play.
To completely attribute the
defensive success to UTEPs offen-
sive ineptitude would simply be
inaccurate. After all, penalties
surely had something to do with
it: UTEP totaled 137 penalty yards
in the game.
But the Jayhawks never allowed
Vittatoe to settle in the pocket,
something that had to happen to
slow UTEPs pass attack. In return,
the secondary shut down and
smacked around UTEPs tal-
ented receiving corps.
Kansas only slip-up occurred
in the fourth quarter, when the
secondary blew its assignment
and then missed tackles, allow-
commentary
S
aturday night in El Paso,
Texas, defense was the
story. Well, it was part of
the story.
There was also the return
from suspension of junior wide
receiver Dezmon Briscoe, who
finished with eight receptions
for 154 yards.
There was this group of
Jayhawks winning their first
road non-conference game.
And then there was Jake
Sharp, Kansas senior starting
running back.
This season its not a mat-
ter of if, but when Sharp will
reach quadruple digits on the
ground. As for what he adds to
Kansas passing attack, the skys
the limit.
It really is that simple after
Kansas 34-7 victory, a game
that offered just enough sto-
rylines for one to overlook
Sharp again. Playing for an
offense that has been pass-
heavy more times than it wasnt
during his career, Sharp has
been the force behind Kansas
2-0 start. Sprinting and twisting
to extend 30-yard gains or con-
vert a short pass into a score,
Sharp is this teams most valu-
able player thus far.
Sharp eclipsed 100 yards
for the second straight time to
open the year and for just the
fifth time in his career Saturday.
One gets the sense that that list
will grow far lengthier before
his No. 1 jersey meets its next
recipient.

T
odd Reesing was for
once in his career whol-
ly unspectacular Saturday.
It was beautiful.
No, Im not saying that Reesing
playing unimpressive games, as
sports editor Stephen Montemayor
put it in a text, is a good thing for
the Jayhawks in the long run. It
would be utterly foolish to assume
that.
But it must comfort the
Jayhawks to know that if Reesing
forgets his A game on the team
bus, they can still throttle a team
like UTEP. Take note, Colorado.
And Oklahoma State. And Texas,
in the first half. And Kansas State.
And Iowa Sta nevermind.
In a week where the Big 12
went from unquestioned second-
strongest conference in the coun-
try (yes, second, until a Big 12
team can steal the crystal football
from the death grip the SEC has
on it right now), to a victim of
the Sunbelt Conference, Kansas
remained unscathed and unwor-
ried.
Colorado was embarrassed by
Toledo, a week after being embar-
rassed by Colorado State, and all of
a sudden the Buffaloes have to win
out to make coach Dan Hawkins
10-victory prediction come true.
No. 5 Oklahoma State turned
Jekyll and Hyde and fell to a
Conference USA team, Houston,
in its home at T. Boone Pickens
Stadium, where last week it knocked
out the Georgia Bulldogs.
Texas went on the road to play
the worst team in the Mountain
West Conference and held just a
three-point lead at half time before
Colt McCoy remembered he was a
good football player.
Kansas State dropped a game to
the Sunbelts Louisiana-Lafayette.
Ladies and gentlemen, please
welcome the second era of Bill
Snyder! At least the Big 12 man-
aged a split against the Sunbelt,
as Nebraska thoroughly handled
Arkansas State.
And Iowa State came in with
high hopes of knocking off its
in-state rival, Iowa, which needed
two blocked field goals in the last
five seconds to defeat Northern
Iowa in week one.
So when the Jayhawks did
exactly what they were supposed
to and throttled an inferior team
on the road, that made them one
of the few in a disappointing week
for the conference.
It was the first time the Jayhawks
demonstrated they could silence
an offense as potent as the Miners,
who were 25th in the nation in
scoring offense in 2008. And they
silenced them in high style, hold-
ing those disturbingly orange jer-
seys out of the end zone until the
fourth quarter on the strength of a
Justin Thornton interception, five
sacks and 11 tackles for a loss.
And when Reesing was unable to
dominate the Miners through the
air he finished with a respect-
able but not brilliant 260 yards,
one touchdown and one pick
the fresh legs of the Kansas ground
game did its part. Freshman
Toben Opurum was again solid in
extended action, carrying the ball
16 times for 69 yards and a score,
but it was senior Jake Sharps 104
yards and two touchdowns, along
with another through the air, that
powered the high-voltage Jayhawk
offense.
Though Reesing didnt blow
anybody out of the water, it was
easy to tell how nice it was to have
his favorite target back in uni-
form. After missing the first game
because of a suspension, super-
human Dezmon Briscoe hauled
down eight catches for nearly half
(154) of the Jayhawks 321 yards
through the air.
He also was on the receiving end
of a 56-yard fake reverse pass from
Kerry Meier early in the game,
which led to Kansas first three
points of the game.
It was beautiful.

NEW YORK A New York
City documentary filmmaker
sued the U.S. Tennis Association
on Tuesday, claiming it discrimi-
nates against wheelchair play-
ers by refusing to sell broadcast
licensing rights to their matches.
State Supreme Court Justice
Michelle Weston reserved decision
on a request to allow Brooklyn
filmmaker Alan Rich to record
the wheelchair competition at this
weeks U.S. Open.
The wheelchair division, which
features 20 of the top players,
begins competition Thursday and
ends Sunday.
Rich, a lawyer who is repre-
senting himself and seven handi-
capped players in the case, has
been filming a documentary
about the players called Fire in
the Belly. He said his immediate
goal is to be permitted to film
the competition and later argue
in court over whether the footage
can be used in his documentary.
He contends that because the
major networks covering the
tournament CBS, ESPN and
the Tennis Channel do not
cover the wheelchair events, he
should be given the rights.
No doubt, many of us in
society are not comfortable
watching amputees in wheelchairs
play sports yet, Rich said in his
court papers. While I do not
fault the broadcasters for doing
what, at present, they view as
commercially viable, the USTA
cannot have a policy that has the
result of discriminating against
these outstanding athletes with
disabilities.
USTA spokesman Chris
Widmaier said his organization
limits filming of matches to the
three television companies that
have contracts with them. He
noted international television
companies have separate agree-
ments.
Widmaier also said that two
years ago, the Tennis Channel
aired the wheelchair finals com-
petition live and produced a half-
hour highlights show of the tour-
nament.
Thats our policy, Widmaier
said. If Mr. Rich were to apply for
a credential so he could capture
some of the on-grounds experi-
ence and post-match interviews,
we would consider that request
as we do all other newsgathering
requests.
Rich said he expected a ruling
from the judge Wednesday.

Cross Country
By SAMANTHA ANDERSON
sanderson@kansan.com
The mens cross-country team
continued its winning season in
Columbia this weekend.
The mens team beat Missouri
by 29 points Saturday.
Sophomore Donny Wasinger
finished first for the team and
second in the race with a time of
26:05.30.
He was followed by sophomore
Zach Zarda, sophomore Austin
Bussing and senior Bret Imgrund
with times of 26:11.20, 26:17.50
and 26:21.7.
The womens team came in sec-
ond losing by only six points.
Lauren Bonds came in first for the
team and fourth overall finishing
the race in 18:10.8.
She was the leader of a pack of
runners who spread out over 40
seconds.
Junior Amanda Miller fin-
ished in 18:22, sophomore Kara
Windisch finished in 18:37.5 and
sophomore Rebeka Stowe finished
in 18:50.8.
She said although her team
didnt beat Missouri, she still con-
sidered it a success.
The womens team has been
focusing on trying to run as a
pack and getting more runners
to finish the race closer to Bonds.
They did just that in this race.
The top four finishers crossed
the line only 40 seconds after
Bond, compared with over a min-
ute last year.
Bonds beat her old time on the
course by 49 seconds. Windisch
also had a personal record on the
5K.
The team has a three week
break to train and continue to
improve before their next meet in
Oklahoma.

NFL
Denver defeats Cincinnati
with 87-yard touchdown
CINCINNATI Brandon
Stokley caught the defected
pass, turned and looked upfeld.
Nobody stood between him and
the end zone.
Unbelievable!
In the time it takes to sprint
the length of the feld, Stokley
ran Denver out of a crushing
loss and into franchise lore. His
87-yard touchdown with 11
seconds left on Sunday provided
a 12-7 victory over the Cincinnati
Bengals, who are going to need
a long time to recover from this
one.
Ive never seen anything like
that,Bengals quarterback Carson
Palmer said. Ive played football
since I was 7 or 8, and Ive not
seen that.
No one had.
A half hour after it ended, a
Bengals fan in an orange Rey
Maualuga jersey sat alone in
the otherwise empty expanse
of green seats behind the end
zone, staring at the feld, trying
to comprehend what had just
happened.
One weird bounce had
changed everything.
You know you need a miracle,
and thats basically what we got,
Stokley said. When I scored, I just
remember it being quiet, and
that was a good feeling.
The Broncos felt sick after Ce-
dric Bensons 1-yard run put the
Bengals up 7-6 with 38 seconds
left. No one felt worse than quar-
terback Kyle Orton, whose poor
judgment had given the Bengals
their chance to pull ahead.
Down to desperation, Orton
threw a sideline pass that was
nearly intercepted. The next play
was a throw to the other sideline
for Brandon Marshall, who was
blanketed. Cornerback Leon Hall
cut in front, went up for the ball
and tipped it into the air.

A student discussion on lobbying and issue campaigns
sports 4B monday, september 14, 2009
By ANDREW POSCH
aposch@kansan.com
Kansas tennis began its fall sea-
son on a positive note as sopho-
more Alie Dzuba brought home a
first-place singles medal.
The team participated in
the UNCW Collegiate Tennis
Invitational in Wilmington, N.C.,
this weekend. Georgetown, North
Carolina State, Furman and host
team North Carolina-Wilmington
also played in the tournament.
The girls did well for our first
tournament and everyone was
excited to play, Kansas coach Amy
Hall-Holt said. Overall we had
a good showing and competed
hard.
Dzuba, who won the B2 bracket,
led the Jayhawks in singles play.
After an opening round 6-2, 6-3
victory against Furman Universitys
Brooke Mosteller, Dzuba cruised
through her semifinal match
against Casey Dashiell of UNCW,
winning 6-2, 6-1. She concluded
her sweep of the bracket with a 6-1,
5-7, 14-12 defeat of Georgetowns
Nora Montgomery in the final
round.
It feels really good because
Ive been working really hard at
improving my game, Dzuba said.
It was a great start and I think
everyone played really well.
Fellow sophomore Erin Wilbert
also made a successful run through
the tournament, but she fell just
short of winning the B1 bracket.
Wilbert started her first two
matches with victories against
Georgetowns Samantha Martin
and Furmans Jennifer Betts, win-
ning 6-1, 6-1 and 7-5, 7-5, respec-
tively. Her final round on Sunday
proved to be the toughest, end-
ing in a 6-4, 6-4 loss to Michele
Stanford of Furman.
I thought that I competed well
and the girl that I played in the
finals competed hard also, Wilbert
said. So it was a good run, and I
enjoyed it.
Dzuba and Wilbert were the only
two Kansas players to advance to
the finals, and unfortunately for
the Jayhawks, they were also the
only ones to make it through the
first round.
Sophomore Ekaterina Morozova
and freshman Sara Lazarevic com-
peted in the A1 bracket, which is
usually comprised of a teams top
players. Both lost in the first round
but garnered victories in their con-
solation rounds.
Senior Kuni Dorn and junior
Maria Martinez followed the same
path, coming back to win their
consolation matches after dropping
the first. Dorn competed in the
A2 bracket while Martinez repre-
sented the B1 along with Wilbert.
Martinez dominated in her second
match, avenging her first loss with
a 6-0, 6-0 shutout of Georgetowns
Alexandra Landers.
Rounding out the Jayhawks
lineup were freshman Victoria
Khanevskaya and junior Kate Goff.
Although the Jayhawks played
in many of the same brackets, the
format of the fall differs the regular
season.
During the fall, competition is
individually-based. In the spring,
matches are played head-to-head
in a duel style, with the focus on
team wins. In the fall setup, players
also compete in different brackets,
based on their skill level.
Because only five teams were
represented at the UNCW tourna-
ment, doubles play was condensed
into one bracket.
Two Jayhawk pairs Dorn/
Martinez and Wilbert/Lazarevic
advanced through their first two
rounds. Wilbert and Lazarevic
were given a bye through the first
round and then defeated Diana
Mortlock and Chloe Smith of N.C.
State. Dorn and Martinez narrowly
escaped their first match in a tie-
breaker against Oliva Maurice and
Jessica Preeg of Furman, but fol-
lowed with a decisive 8-2 victory
against UNCWs Kayla Schwenk
and Christina Riley.
They werent the only Jayhawks
to find success in the doubles
bracket, however.
Morozova and Khanevskaya
defeated the Georgetown tandem of
Victoria Sekely and Alex Sebia 8-2,
before falling to UNCWs Dashiell
and Leblang in a tiebreaker. The
duo came back in the consolation,
and won against Hartley Collins
and Christina Lee of UNCW.
Morozova and Khanevskaya con-
cluded with an 8-6 victory against
the Schwenk and Riley duo from
UNCW that Dorn and Martinez
beat in the second round.
Dzuba and Goff lost their first
two doubles rounds to pairs from
UNCW and Georgetown.
Overall, Hall-Holt said she was
happy with the teams performance,
especially in doubles, but she
said there was plenty of room for
improvement.
We have more work to do but
that just comes with playing a lot of
matches, Hall-Holt said.
The Jayhawks will take the court
again in two weeks when they host
a tournament Sept. 25-27 at First
Serve in Lawrence.

Packers score late to claim victory against rival Bears
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREEN BAY, Wis. Aaron
Rodgers brought the Packers back
late in the fourth quarter, heaving
a 50-yard touchdown pass to Greg
Jennings with 1:11 remaining to
give Green Bay a 21-15 victory over
the Chicago Bears in the season
opener Sunday night.
Facing third-and-1 at the
50-yard line, Rodgers faked play
action and heaved a rainbow of a
throw deep to Jennings, who ran
in for the go-ahead score. Rodgers
found Jennings again for a 2-point
conversion.
Rodgers finished 17 of 28 for 184
yards for the Packers, and his big
throw ruined the debut of Bears
quarterback Jay Cutler, who had a
career-worst four interceptions.
The Bears lost a big game to their
division rivals and lost several key
players to injury. Brian Urlacher
left with a wrist injury in the third
quarter after fellow linebacker Pisa
Tinoisamoa left in the first half
with an injured knee. Backup cor-
nerback Trumaine McBride and
tight end Desmond Clark also left
with injuries.
After throwing three intercep-
tions in the first half, Cutler settled
down to lead Chicago to a touch-
down and a field goal in the third
quarter, giving the Bears a 12-10
lead.
But Chicagos head-scratching
fake punt attempt early in the
fourth quarter gave the ball back to
Packers deep in Bears territory, and
Mason Crosby hit a 39-yard field
goal to give Green Bay a 13-12 lead
with 10:10 left.
Cutler answered with a drive
for a 21-yard field goal by Robbie
Gould to give Chicago a 15-13
lead. Rodgers got the ball back at
the Green Bay 28 with 2:28 left and
quickly drove the Packers to mid-
field, where he made the decisive
throw to Jennings.
Rodgers generally had a success-
ful first season as a starter last year,
but was criticized by some fans for
not coming through in some key
late-game situations although
the Packers often were put in bad
positions by an inept defense.
That wasnt a problem Sunday
night as Green Bay got steady pass
rush pressure out of its revamped
3-4 alignment under new defensive
coordinator Dom Capers, forcing
Cutler to scramble out of trouble
all night. Cutler made plenty of
trouble for himself from there,
making poor decisions under pres-
sure.

COLORADO
(0-2 )
at Toledo (1-1),
38-54: The Buffs had
their second loss in less than a
week to start another season 0-2.
Colorados defense couldnt stop
Toledos offense on the ground
or in the air, giving up an average
of 10 yards per play. Coach Dan
Hawkins is facing tough criticism
for his fourth 0-2 season start
and his 10-wins goal is looking
less and less attainable. Colorados
playmakers were tailback Darrell
Scott, who ran for 85 yards in
12 rushes, and quarterback Cody
Hawkins, who threw for 356 yards
and four touchdowns.
NEBRASKA
(2-0)
v. Arkansas State
(1-1), 38-9: Zac Lee
led the Cornhuskers
to victory against the Red Wolves
with 340 yards and four touch-
downs. This is Nebraskas sixth
straight victory and the team
scored on five of its first six pos-
sessions. Lee made 27 of 35 passes
with no interceptions including a
43-yard pass to receiver Curenski
Gilleylen. Nebraskas star running
back Roy Helu Jr. only had 60
yards on 14 carries. This weeks
victory offers encouragement for
next weeks game against Virginia
Tech, which beat the Cornhuskers
last season.
IOWA STATE
(1-1)
v. Iowa (2-0), 3-35:
Six turnovers, five
interceptions and a botched
on-side kick cost Iowa State its
first loss to Iowa since 2003.
Iowa State quarterback Austen
Arnaud made 10 of 22 passes for
79 yards and had four intercep-
tions. Arnaud was replaced in the
third quarter by freshman Jerome
Tiller, who added another inter-
ception. Running back Alexander
Robinson fumbled the ball early
in the third quarter, which eventu-
ally led to another touchdown for
Iowa. All and all, it was a bad day
for Iowa State on offense, and after
the first quarter, the defense didnt
really step up to stop Iowa.
OKLAHOMA
STATE (1-1)
v. Houston
(2-0), 35-45: Houston
upset No. 5 Oklahoma State in
Stillwater, Okla., on Saturday.
After coming off one of the biggest
season opening games in history
for the Cowboys, they couldnt
stop the Cougar quarterback Case
Keenum from throwing 366 yards
and three touchdowns. With a
couple of bad plays, including a
fumbled snap and an intercep-
tion by Oklhahoma State quar-
terback Zac Robinson, Houston
sealed its victory. Running back
Kendall Hunter, who was one of
the Cowboys best rushers, didnt
play in the second half of the game
because of an apparent leg injury.
TEXAS (2-0)
at Wyoming
(1-1), 41-10: The
Longhorns had a slow
first half but still managed to
come out on top in Laramie, Wyo.,
on Saturday. It seemed like Texas
wasnt in the game for most of the
first half, as Wyoming led 10-6.
Quarterback Colt McCoy finally
got the offense rolling, making it
13-10 before the half, and didnt
stop for the rest of the game.
McCoy completed 30 of 47 passes,
which was a little disparaging for
the nations most accurate quar-
terback last year. The Longhorn
defense held the Cowboys out of
the end zone for most of the game,
only allowing 3 of 17 third-down
conversions.
TEXAS TECH
(2-0)
v. Rice (0-2), 55-10:
Texas Tech beat Rices
numbers in just about
every category. Tech finished with
560 yards, 456 of which were from
quarterback Taylor Potts on his
seven touchdown passes against
Rice. Tech had two receivers, Lyle
Leong and Tramain Swindell, who
had more than 100 yards receiv-
ing for the game, with 117 and
123 yards, respectively. Rice went
through three quarterbacks and
took six sacks from Techs defense,
only gaining 257 yards in the game.
Tech receiver Detron Lewis went
out with an injured leg in the third
quarter, but the team still managed
to shut down Rice without him.
KANSAS STATE
(1-1)
at Louisiana-
Lafayette (2-0), 15-17:
Kansas State fell to Louisiana-
Lafayette in the last minute of
the game by a field goal. The
Wildcats were down for most of
the game, trailing 14-2 at the half.
Kansas State running back Daniel
Thomas had 139 yards rushing
and scored two touchdowns in
the fourth quarter to give Kansas
State the lead with 15-14. The
Wildcat defense played okay in
the second half, only giving up
the game-winning three points on
the field goal. The slow start for
the Wildcats and the imbalance
of offensive and defensive efforts
kept them from beating the Ragin
Cajuns.
MISSOURI
(2-0)
v. Bowling
Green (1-1), 27-20:
Missouri won its first home game
of the season but sloppy playing
and a slow start had the Tigers
dragging until the third quar-
ter. Missouri quarterback Blaine
Gabbert had 163 yards and two
touchdowns, a lot less impressive
than last week. Tailback Derrick
Washington had 23 carries for
120 yards and rushed for a one-
yard touchdown against Bowling
Green. This was Missouris 12th
straight non-conference victory,
but it let Bowiling Green control
the pace for most of the game.
OKLAHOMA (1-1)
v. Idaho State (0-2),
64-0: With Sam Bradford
out, backup quarterback
Landry Jones stepped up
for the Sooners in their second
week shutout against Idaho State.
Last week, Oklahoma received a
surprising upset from BYU, but
Jones had 286 yards and three
touchdowns this week. Wide
receiver Ryan Broyles and run-
ning back Demarco Murray each
put up multiple touchdowns from
Jones. Bradford is expected to be
out for 2-4 weeks for his shoulder
injury and tight end Jermaine
Gresham will be out for the whole
season with torn cartilage in his
knee.
Baylor and Texas A&M were off
for the weekend.

3. Dezmon Briscoe: Briscoe wasnt always sharp he stepped out
of bounds at Kansas three-yard line after receiving the second halfs
opening kickof. But he still signifcantly improved the ofense: he
caught eight passes for 154 yards.
2. Jake Sharp: Once again, Sharp turned in a solid performance. He
rushed for 104 yards and two touchdowns. Its to be expected, but its
still a good sign for Kansas ofense.
1. Kansas defense: Penalties didnt help UTEPs cause. But Kansas
defense never allowed UTEPs ofense to get going. The Miners totaled
just 32 yards in the frst half.
3. Dezmon Briscoe: In his frst game this season, Briscoe played well
despite dropping a couple of passes he usually catches and also step-
ping out of bounds at Kansas three-yard line after receiving a kickof.
2. Todd Reesing: Reesing wasnt bad; he just wasnt Reesing-like. He
missed open receivers throughout the game, was fagged for an inten-
tional grounding and threwan interception deep in UTEP territory.
1. Jacob Branstetter: Branstetter missed a 38-yard feld goal as
the frst half expired. He then missed a 33-yard feld goal. Coach Mark
Mangino said Branstetter was woozy during the game, but those are
kicks he still has to make.
On Kansas second ofensive play of the game, quarterback Todd
Reesing fipped the ball to wide receiver Kerry Meier deep in the
backfeld. With UTEPs defense focusing on the trickery behind the line
of scrimmage, Meier foated a pass to wide receiver Dezmon Briscoe for
56 yards.
ThE GLASS IS hALF FULL
Kansas defense looked impressive against a teamthat scored almost
33 points per game last season. The defensive line fnished with six
sacks, the secondary recorded one interception, and the Jayhawks
simply didnt allowthe Miners to move the ball efectively.
ThE GLASS IS hALF EmPTY
UTEPs ofense scored just 17 points against a Bufalo teamthat
allowed 54 points to Pittsburgh this week. Maybe the Miners ofense
isnt as high-powered as originally thought.
LINEBACKER SITUATION
Coach Mark Mangino continued to rely on senior Arist Wright and
junior DrewDudley at the two linebacker positions. Against spread-
heavy ofenses, those two will see most of the playing time. Freshman
HuldonTharp once again rotated heavily.
D-LINE DOING ITS JOB?
This was exactly the type of performance needed fromKansas
defensive line. The line fnished with six sacks and never allowed UTEP
quarterback Trevor Vittatoe to fully settle in the pocket. That noticeably
afected his pass attempts.
BIGGEST ANSwER
In his frst game, Dezmon Briscoe showed that he hasnt lost a step.
Briscoe caught eight passes for 154 yards on Saturday. He made some
mistakes but he still was Kansas biggest playmaker against UTEP.
STILL QUESTIONING
Howgood UTEPs ofense really is. Sure, the Jayhawks looked impres-
sive in holding the Miners to seven points. But penalties hindered any
chance for UTEP to move the ball.
LOOKING AhEAD
After trailing early in the game, Duke rallied past Army for a 35-19
victory on Saturday. Still, its were talking about football: Duke lost to
Richmond in the season opener. The Jayhawks shouldnt have a prob-
lemwith the Blue Devils at home.
GOOD, BAD OR JUST PLAIN STUPID?
Original prediction: Kansas 38-17. Actual score: 34-7. UTEPs ofense
wasnt nearly as good as expected. The Miners committed penalty after
penalty and they never managed to get in a fow. Again, like last week,
Imgoing to grade my prediction as so-so.
FINAL ThOUGhT
While Kansas ofense scored 34 points, Todd Reesing and company
were relatively average. Its a good sign the Jayhawks still walked away
with a relatively easy road victory. The defense and especially the
defensive line looked impressive.

On the status of kicker Jacob Branstetter
Branstetter got the crap knocked out of him. Imnot
sure hes in this universe with us right now. I looked in
his eyes after that last attempt and he didnt look like
he was in El Paso.
By Hallie Mann
hmann@kansan.com
The Kansas defense had an
impressive game against UTEP on
Saturday night, but special teams
wavered a bit in its performance
fromlast week. Daymond Patterson,
who plays cornerback and does
punt returns, made plays at both
positions in Kansas 34-10 victory
against UTEP.
The highlight of the night for
Patterson was when he made a
49-yard punt return for Kansas in
the third quarter. Patterson said the
blockers opened up the middle for
him and he ran straight through.
Even after his foot was hit and he
stumbled, he still managed the lon-
gest return of the game for Kansas.
Patterson said he didnt know the
return was going to be so big.
Its really about how the punters
punt and how we block, Patterson
said. You just never know.
Patterson had a total of six punt
returns for 69 yards. In the first
quarter, Patterson returned a punt
to start Kansas second drive but
with a penalty, came up with -3
yards. At the start of the second
quarter, Patterson made a one-yard
return and ended with an eight-yard
return. In the fourth quarter he had
another return that lost yards.
After the game, coach Mark
Mangino said he wasnt happy that
Patterson, who was worked up at
the games beginning, had missed
a couple of balls on returns. The
missed balls resulted in some short
or negative yardage for Kansas early
in the game. After being talked
down by the coaches, Patterson
smoothed out a bit and made his
49-yard return.
We cant let balls hit the ground;
we just cant do that, Mangino
said.
Despite his ups and downs on the
returns, Patterson had six tackles.
On UTEPs first drive, Patterson
made twotackles andhelpedKansas
defense stop UTEP from scoring.
In the second quarter, Patterson
and linebacker Drew Dudley tack-
led Miner running back Donald
Buckram for a loss of one yard.
Patterson made two more tackles in
the third and one in the fourth.
Pattersons biggest defensive play
was his interception made with
cornerback Justin Thornton. UTEP
quarterback Trevor Vittatoe slight-
ly overthrew UTEP wide receiver
Jeff Moturi and Patterson swooped
in for the catch. Patterson said he
caught sight of Justin Thornton
behind him so he tipped the ball
away from Moturis hands and into
Thorntons. The play resulted in a
turnover, which led to Kansas sec-
ond touchdown.
This was probably one of our
better games of pressure ondefense,
Patterson said.
Overall, Kansas defense only
allowed 208 yards fromUTEP. With
six sacks for a loss of 29 yards, the
Jayhawks had an impressive perfor-
mance. The special teams struggled
as two of the kickers were roughed
by the Miner defense and had an
average of only eight yards on kick-
off returns. Whichever side of the
ball Patterson was on, he made plays
and said he knew there was room
for improvement.
Im pretty happy, but I know I
didnt play a perfect game, Patterson
said.

ing Donavon Kemp to score on a
75-yard touchdown catch.
We shouldnt have let that
happen, coach Mark Mangino
said. But its hard to complain.
We were really stellar on defense
tonight.
After the game, junior wide
receiver Dezmon Briscoe walked
down a concrete ramp with a
simple, yet surprising, idea. Even
though the Jayhawks piled up 576
yards on offense, they didnt play
well.
In a way, he had a point. Kansas
offense playedwell enoughtoleave
El Paso, Texas, with a victory. But
the Jayhawks werent exception-
ally crisp, at least not by their own
high standards.
We left a couple points, a lot of
points, on the field, said Briscoe,
who played in his first game after
being suspended for the season
opener. For us to have a bad
day on offense and still score 34
points, I feel like thats good.
Sharp, who rushed for 104
yards, had a slightly different
take.
If you look at pass numbers
and when we put up that much
total offense, we usually capital-
ize and put more points on the
board, Sharp said. But we put up
enough points to win the game.
With most of its nucleus return-
ing this season, the offense and
its skill players saw plenty of the
spotlight this offseason. Theyve
been on magazine and newspaper
covers and are the largest reason
for optimism in Lawrence.
But the real story from
Saturdays game the one players
and Mangino highlighted most
was the play of Kansas unit on the
other side of the ball: the defense.
We get a whole bunch of media
attention as far as our offense,
Briscoe said. But our defense
really stepped up today.
Edited by Amanda Thompson
16 carries were complemented
Saturday by a career-best six
receptions for 29 yards and a
score the only passing touch-
down of the night. Sharp added
two rushing touchdowns of the
short variety, temporarily halt-
ing notions that freshman Toben
Opurums larger frame would
receive more goal-line looks.
To be fair, the 6-foot-2, 235-
pound Opurumpresents a tanta-
lizing 1-2 punch that was sorely
lacking a year ago. When defens-
es become gassed at the hands,
er, legs, of Sharp, Opurum16
carries, 62 yards and another late
touchdown bruising forward
will be a nightmare.
But thats a story for another
day, perhaps during Big 12 play
when the two have a few more
games of working together under
their belts.
Today we have the story of a
small but speedy kid fromSalina
who appears poised to end his
college career in a special way.
The kickoff party that the
5-foot-11, 190-pound Sharp has
staged this year has infinitely
more punch to it than his non-
conference start last season. In
concert with a maligned back-
field, Sharp rushed just 26 times
for 86 yards before exploding
during conference play.
Oh, Sharp will put up some
numbers on the ground and
through the air, all right. But as
evidenced by Saturday, hell do a
whole hell of a lot more.
Hell be there when nobody
else is open. Hell get you that
burst you needed for a first
down. Hell make you say,
Wow.
Senior quarterback Todd
Reesing attempted twice as many
passes against UTEP than he did
the week before. He was surpris-
ingly less effective than usual,
attempting several ill-conceived
throws and getting picked off
once.
No matter. So long as this
teamhas a healthy Sharp, even
Reesing can be afforded a rare
off day.

United States fnishes frst
at Walker Cup tournament
GOLF
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARDMORE, Pa. The United
States won its third straight Walker
Cup on Sunday, taking five singles
matches and halving another for a
16-9 victory over Great Britain
and Ireland at Merion Golf Club.
Americans Ricky Fowler and
Peter Uihlein won all four of their
weekend matches, and Cameron
Tringale won in an 8-and-6 romp
in the third-largest winning margin
by a U.S. player in singles.
Fowlers victory punctuated a
solid amateur career. Tringales vic-
tory ensured the U.S. would retain
the title, and Uihleins 3-and-1 vic-
tory over Stiggy Hodgson won it
outright.
The U.S. teams margin of victory
was the largest since an 18-6 win in
1997, at Quaker Ridge Golf Club in
Scarsdale, N.Y. The Americans lead
the series 34-7-1.
The U.S. team needed two points
in the Sunday singles to retain the
cup and 2 to win the champion-
ship after going 3-1 in the morn-
ings alternate-shot matches that
provided an 11-5 advantage.
Bud Cauley halved his singles
with Chris Paisley and finished
3-0-1 for the U.S., which also got
individual wins from Morgan
Hoffmann and Brendan Gielow.
George Buddy Marucci Jr., a
Merion member, won his second
straight title as U.S. captain. The
2008 U.S. Senior Amateur cham-
pion was a two-time Walker Cup
player, in 1995 and 1997.
Scotlands Gavin Dear, in the first
singles pairing, tried to kick-start a
GB&I comeback, posting a 3-and-2
victory over Brian Harman.
I like going out early. I feel as
though I can go up, Dear said.
If the guys see that score, maybe
it could give them some kind of
incentive or a bit of confidence.
But the six-point deficit after the
morning session proved too big an
obstacle to overcome for the GB&I
under captain Colin Dalgleish, who
dropped his second in a row.
Sam Hutsby, Tommy Fleetwood
and Niall Kearney supplied GB&sIs
other singles wins.
Fowler and Uihlein, teammates
at Oklahoma State along with
Hoffmann, starred for the U.S.
squad.
Delaying turning pro until after
his second straight Walker Cup,
Fowler played the 18th hole just
once, Sunday morning when he
and Cauley prevailed 1-up.
The 20-year-old from Murrieta,
Calif., closed out his amateur
career on the 17th hole and got a
hearty handshake and hug from
Marucci. He finished with a 7-1
Walker Cup record, unbeaten in
four foursomes, and 3-1 in singles.
I dont think anybody has played
for the U.S. team in the Walker Cup
the way Rickie has, Marucci said.
The 20-year-old Uihlein, from
Orlando, Fla., was one of the last
two picks to the 10-man team.

Team sweeps weekend competition
By ZACH GETZ
zgetz@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team
recorded back-to-back-to-back
sweeps for the first time since 2005
in a first-place finish at the Arkansas
Tournament this weekend.
Kansas, now 7-2, also finished
first in a non-conference tourna-
ment for the first time since 2007.
Kansas players racked up tour-
nament honors as senior middle
blocker Paige Mazour was named
the MVP of the tournament and
junior outside hitter Karina
Garlington and sophomore setter
Nicole Tate added their names to
the all-tournament team.
It feels amazing, Tate said. All
our hard work is finally paying off.
Mazour said Kansas took care
of its own side and played strong,
which allowed the team to win the
matches. Kansas committed 32
errors this weekend compared with
89 errors last weekend.
Our passers did an amazing job,
which made it very easy for us to
run the offense and for us to be
effective, Tate said.
Kansas started off the weekend
with a victory against North Texas
(25-15, 25-16, 25-20). Kansas led
North Texas in nearly every stat,
including out-digging North Texas
56-41 and out-killing them 44-27.
Kansas also posted a .324 attack
percentage compared with North
Texas .061. Tate recorded her sec-
ond double-double of the year with
11 digs and 38 assists.
Kansas earned its second victory
of the weekend against Jacksonville
State (25-15, 25-12, 25-16). Kansas
continued to dominate the stats
against Jacksonville State, out-kill-
ing 43-26, out-digging 56-47 and
hitting a better attack percentage,
.290 to .085.
Kansas clinched its first place tro-
phy against Arkansas (25-15, 25-18,
25-15). Kansas was well-balanced
and had a .371 attack percentage
with just nine errors in the entire
match.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said
the team still needs to work on a
more balanced offensive, but he
said he was pleased with how well
the players served, which allowed
the team to set up the defense.
Bechard also said the team gained
some momentum from the vic-
tories.
We gained some confidence
that we are always going to be in the
match, Bechard said.
Kansas will need that confidence
and momentum as the team shifts
its focus to the competitive Big 12
Conference. Kansas opens confer-
ence play on Wednesday against
Missouri in the Border Showdown.
I think our team has a good shot
at being competitive in the Big 12,
Tate said. Im just ready to go.

CLEVELAND Once the cal-
endar turns to September, Kyle
Davies turns into an ace.
The right-hander carried a no-
hit bid into the sixth inning and
won his fourth straight start, pitch-
ing the Kansas City Royals to a 7-0
victory over the Cleveland Indians
on Sunday.
Davies (8-9) held the Indians
hitless until Shin-Soo Choos lead-
off single to center in the sixth. He
walked six and struck out three over
six innings in his second straight
wild start. He walked six and gave
up five hits and one run over five
innings in a 6-3 win over the Los
Angeles Angels on Monday.
He had a very good changeup,
Choo said. And he threw enough
strikes to get big outs. I hit a curve,
but he was pretty good.
Davies is 3-0 in September. A
year ago, he went 4-1 with a 2.27
ERA after Sept. 1. But he struggled
early this season and was sent back
to the minors after going 1-6 in
seven starts between May 16 and
June 19 that dropped his record
to 3-7.
I know I can win in September,
he said. Right now, its like I am
going to do it not, are you going
to?
Davies said he worked the kinks
out of his delivery while going 4-2
with a 2.14 ERA in eight starts
at Triple-A Omaha before being
recalled Aug. 5.
Its really about mechanics for
me, Davies said. I dont have a lot
of movement on my pitches, so Ive
got to stay in rhythm and keep the
ball down. Ive been a little lucky,
too. I cant keep walking guys.
Davies improved to 4-3 with a
2.66 ERA on the road. He is 4-6
with an 8.92 ERA in 11 home
starts.
The 26-year-old thought it could
be a special day after first baseman
Billy Butler made two fine plays
on sharp grounders by Clevelands
first two batters.
That second one hit the bag and
went straight left, but he got it with
his bare hand, Davies said. I dont
know how. He made another good
play the next inning, then caught a
popup in the sun. I
had no idea where
it was. Four good
plays in two innings
helps.
Matt LaPorta
lined a two-out
single off reliever
Carlos Rosa in the
ninth for Clevelands
only other hit.
Three of the
Royals eight shutouts this season
have been at Progressive Field. The
last time the Indians were blanked
three times at home by the same
team in a season was by the 1971
Baltimore Orioles.
John Buck and Butler each had
two RBIs in the
Royals sixth win
in seven games.
Kansas City took
two of three from
the Indians, losers of
10 of 13, for only its
second road series
win since May.
We had our hit-
ting shoes on again
and gave Kyle some
breathing room, Royals bench
coach John Gibbons said. Take
away the walks and hes on quite
a roll.
Gibbons spoke in place of man-
ager Trey Hillman, who left imme-
diately after the game to attend to a
personal matter.
Buck put the Royals ahead 1-0
in the third with his sixth homer,
an opposite-field shot to right off
Carlos Carrasco (0-2).Two errors
helped make it 3-0 in the fourth.
Willie Bloomquist hit a leadoff
double. Carrasco, who had picked
Bloomquist off first base follow-
ing a first-inning single, this time
threw the ball into center field on
a pickoff try, sending the runner
to third. Bloomquist scored on a
groundout by Butler.
Davies arm powers Royals to victory against Indians
Ive got to stay in
rhythm and keep the
ball down. Ive been
a little lucky, too. I
cant keep walking .

Passing game surging, Ravens defeat Chiefs, 38-24
NFL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE The Baltimore
Ravens found a different way to
win, and did so in record-setting
fashion.
Long known for their punish-
ing defense and relentless ground
game, the Ravens went airborne to
beat the Kansas City Chiefs 38-24
on Sunday.
Joe Flacco went 26 for 43 for
307 yards and three touchdowns,
all career highs. He was the focal
point of an attack that amassed
a franchise-record 501 yards and
helped ruin the NFL head coach-
ing debut of Todd Haley.
Now in his second season,
Flacco threw as many as 30 passes
in only four games last year
each time in a losing cause.
Given the opportunity from the
outset to throw the ball instead
of handing it off, Flacco couldnt
contain his delight.
Its awesome. Its so much fun,
he said. As a quarterback, thats
what you want to do.
It may not have been an isolated
opportunity, either.
Were going to throw more if it
helps us win games, coach John
Harbaugh said. I think that we
will be capable of throwing the
ball more ways than we did last
year. We have really good players
that can make plays.
Such as Mark Clayton, who had
five catches for 77 yards, including
a 31-yard touchdown grab with
2:06 left that gave Baltimore a
31-24 lead.
Willis McGahee scored from
the 1 with 31 seconds remaining
to clinch it.
Another surprising aspect of
the game was Kansas Citys abil-
ity to keep it close despite play-
ing without Matt Cassel, whose
sprained left knee did not heal
enough to enable him to make his
Chiefs debut.
That left the quarterbacking
responsibilities to Brodie Croyle
and Tyler Thigpen, who entered
with a collective 1-18 record as
NFL starters. The Chiefs didnt get
their initial first down until deep
into the second quarter, but used a
blocked punt and a long intercep-
tion return to keep it close until
their offense finally got rolling.
Croyle played all but one series
and went 16 for 24 for 177 yards
and two touchdowns.
Asked to assess his perfor-
mance, Croyle said, Play well,
dont play well if you dont win,
you still have the same feeling and
thats where Im at.
Haley added: I thought Brodie
Croyle gave us a chance to win
today and thats all Ill ever ask my
quarterback to do.
Larry Johnson, the last player
to run for 100 yards against the
Ravens (in December 2006), fin-
ished with 20 yards on 11 carries.
That, and the Ravens air show,
contributed to Baltimore nearly
doubling Kansas Citys time of
possession.
I got to give credit to Baltimore.
They were a throwing machine
today, Haley said. They threw
the ball probably a lot more than
we anticipated.
The Chiefs couldnt contain nei-
ther Clayton nor tight end Todd
Heap, who had five catches for 74
yards.
He made four first downs, scored
a touchdown and relished being
part of an offense that seemingly
moved at will.

football game Sunday in Baltimore. The Ravens won 38-24. Though the Ravens are known primarily for their strong defense and rushing, their
passing game played a major role in the game, with quarterback Joe Flacco throwing for 307 yards and three touchdowns.
