Willmott decided to seek that help by returning to Kansas. Here in Lawrence, he has students who help him when he needs actors or just fresh ideas for his projects. Students often have interesting suggestions and input in things I do which I always take if its a great idea, Willmott said. Its a great training ground for students. He said he wanted to give something back to his home state. For his project Community Film Making, he works with his students in small, struggling towns and often receives support from its inhabitants. Some of Willmotts favorite movies are The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and the Blaxploitation movies of the 70s, and some of his most recent favorites include The Time Travelers Wife and District 9. His next projects, besides Community Film-making, include a screenplay and a TV show for PBS. Willmott said staying successful in film was a never-ending process of education and hard work. Work really hard, learn the craft of it, and then just dont stop, Willmott said. All the people that I know that have some success in all of this have just been people that just didnt stop.

cbledowski@kansan.com Kevin Willmott, professor of film and media studies, knows what hes talking about when he teaches his students how to make movies. In addition to teaching, Willmott is a director who has had two movies, CSA and The Only Good Indian, shown at the Sundance Film Festival. You need to make movies that matter, Willmott Willmott said. They should be worth our while. Willmott has been trying to follow his own advice ever since he attended New York University, a departure from his early background. Willmott grew up in Kansas and went to Marymount College in Salina, where he studied drama as an undergraduate. As a graduate student at NYU, he could finally pursue his main interest. I did theater at the beginning because I didnt have access to film, he said. Although he still worked on plays after graduate school, he followed his passion and entered the film business. In making the transition from a small town such as Junction City to a big city such as Manhattan, N.Y., Willmott said he needed people to help him on this journey. When youre making independent films, especially your first films, you need a lot of help and I didnt grow up in New York, so I didnt really know anybody there, Willmott said.

HOUSTON A Houston man found asleep with a corpse inside a closet of a vacant home has been charged with misdemeanor drug offenses, authorities said Monday. Cody Jean Plant, 21, was discovered Sunday after the owner of the house reported hearing voices and seeing signs of forced entry at the home in Cypress, about 25 miles northwest of Houston, according to a Harris County Precinct 4 Constable official. There were two guys in the closet. They appeared to be sleeping, one was snoring and the other was deceased, said Assistant Chief Deputy Mark Herman. It appeared that they were doing some sort of narcotics, at least the one that they woke up. Plant was charged with one count of possession of a dangerous drug and two counts of possession of a controlled substance of more than three grams and less than 28 grams.

actual eating disorder patients was neither new nor uncommon. Johnson said about 25 percent of all eating disorder patients across the country met the criteria for drug and alcohol abuse. Although getting calories only from alcohol could cause weight loss, McKee said the habit came with its own set of health concerns. She said alcohol restricted the intake of nutrients, disrupted sleep cycles and inhibited the building and restoration of muscle tissue. Its important to know what youre putting into your body, but trying to limit nutritionally dense foods to make room for calories from alcohol is taking it to the extreme, she said. Not eating before going out is another way women try to avoid weight gain, Ann Chapman, coordinator of Nutritional Services with the WRC, said. McKee said that people got drunk with less liquor when there Hilary Hauber, Overland park graduate student and religious studies major, has studied vampire religions and the differences between them. there is a group of people who practice vampire religions, Hauber said. those are people who identify with the archetype of the vampire and fiction and folklore. Jeremy adkison, Leavenworth sophomore and kU cauldron president, said the group discussed pagan religions, which included the topic of vampires. Its really fun to kind of learn what people do in modern sense when youre only used to reading it in a fantasy sense, adkison said.

What began with bram stokers count Dracula more than 100 years ago has now evolved into the trendy twilight sensation of edward cullen and the hit tV series true blood. With an onslaught of media exposure of the fictional characters ranging from best-selling novels to major motion pictures, the obsession about vampires is reaching the kU campus. tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. Heide crawford, professor of Germanic languages and literature, will host a forum to discuss the historical significance of vampires
in literature. John tibbetts, associate professor of film and media studies, said he hated the current trend in vampire popularity. He said that vampire media had become a cosmeticized Walt Disney high school musical, and that it overshadowed the concepts original idea, which was to confront the dark side of humanity. He said vampire literature should feel profoundly disturbing and have a sardonic sense of humor as opposed to the less complex characters found in books such as the twilight series. the kU cauldron student group will hold a separate discussion on the topic of vampire religion Oct. 26.

LONDON Andrew Lloyd Weber has announced a sequel to his massively successful Phantom of the Opera that will be set at Coney Island. Webers new production, Love
Never Dies, is due to open in London in March of next year. The musical picks up a decade after the originals conclusion, and has the Phantom trading his hideout beneath the Paris opera house for the Brooklyn amusement park. Weber said Thursday that he wanted to produce a sequel because the conclusion of the original was too boring. The new musical will be staged in New York beginning in November 2010.

warm. They keep you nice and toasty on your way to class in the winter, but once you get inside they make you sweat. Also, Uggs are overpriced for their quality. I dont own Uggs because theyre too expensive, Anna Bennett, Great Bend senior, said. I love boots, I just think its ridiculous to pay $150 for a pair. Despite being designed for cold months, the colors run if they get wet in rain or snow. And even after following the cleaning instructions, my Uggs faded when I washed them. Eventually, the fur on the soles that kept my feet so warm got matted and came out, and the back seam on one of my boots ripped. This shouldnt happen to any $140 pair of shoes. If you like Uggs, but dont want to waste your money, buy a pair of cheap, fake Uggs: Fugs. Your feet will stay warm and you wont have to worry about damaging expensive boots as you trek across campus. This winter, Im investing in a pair of weather-proof riding boots as a fashion forward, alternative to Uggs. Theyre a classic staple piece, and because I know theyll never go out of style, Im willing to pay more for a durable pair that will get me through many winters.

hen you think Dole, you probably think of bananas. If not, you probably think of Bob Dole, former U.S. senator from Kansas as well as Republican vice-presidential and presidential nominee. He also served eight years in the U.S. House of Representatives and received two purple hearts for wounds sustained during World War II, which left his right arm completely paralyzed. Even now, Dole is active in politics at the age of 86. He has a health care plan with fellow former Sens. Howard Baker and Tom Daschle, released by the Bipartisan Policy Center. This plan furthers a legacy of finding effective solutions to our nations greatest problems, promoting common ground and not shying away from nuance. Representatives in and of this state, however, seem to be falling flat in the face of the Dole standard. In the state legislature, the past and potentially ongoing debate about energy the Republican support of coal fired plants in Holcomb, and the Democratic abstinence in favor of wind energy has crippled legislative productivity during the past couple of legislative sessions. Perhaps thats finally over, with Gov. Mark Parkinsons agreement
tyler holmes
to build one coal plant as well as something Democrats can support in return. Although the creation of new energy jobs could help offset the revenue shortfalls and the rising unemployment rate, Gov. Parkinsons plan falls short of solving either problem. Because of this, it remains obvious that a real solution has yet to be found. Despite Gov. Parkinsons proposal, there is little common ground to be found between the two parties. I could give a Jim Mora-style rant (just search Jim Mora playoffs on YouTube) about the use of hateful language towards other politicians, rather than the policies they support. Personal attacks destroy potential relationships between legislators that can be the only bonds between sides trying to reach a compromise. Gov. Parkinsons insistence on higher admissions standards is another and necessary matter altogether. Gov. Parkinson suggested in August to the Kansas Board
of Regents that the state should pursue a goal of making the University of Kansas a top-20 school based on rankings, when research shows that undergraduate education available in institutions across the country are, for all intensive purposes, equal (and the rankings a complete sham). So let us renew the Dole standard. After all, our generation has been told countless times of how it will bring a resurgence of participation to civil activity given our involvement and interest in politics. Dont limit your involvement. In Kansas, you only have to be 18 to run for political office. Offering an alternative, even to good representation, can make it even better. In the words of Mohandas K. Gandhi, Be the change you wish to see in the world. And dont forget to eat your bananas. Holmes is an Overland Park sophomore in political science.
Liberalism explained
In Chet Comptons column Liberalism versus conservatism in Fridays paper, there was such an avalanche of wrongness that its difficult to know where to begin. The crux of his argument was that God gives rights to us, and that God is narrowly defined as the Christian one. Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, ratified under the Washington administration, states that: The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion. Many of the founders of this country were famously not Christians. President Thomas

Students stand in the back row of a full chemistry class at Cal State University-East Bay in Hayward, Calif. Sept. 23. More than 50 students were on a waiting list for the class. In cash-strapped California and around the country, deep budget cuts are trapping more college students in a kind of enrollment purgatory, where theyre in school but cant get seats in the courses they need for a degree.

SAN FRANCISCO It isnt just tuition increases that are driving up the cost of college. Around the country, deep budget cuts are forcing colleges to lay off instructors and eliminate some classes, making it harder for students to get into the courses they need to earn their degree. The likely result: more time in college. And while that may sound agreeable to nostalgic alumni, to students like Michael Redoglia, time is money. Early this semester at San Francisco State University, Redoglia unsuccessfully crashed 26 different classes, hoping to find space that would move him closer to a hospitality management degree.

Patrons smoke water pipes at a caf in downtown Damascus, Syria Monday. Syrian President Bashar Assad issued a decree late Sunday banning the smoking, selling and providing of tobacco products at certain public utilities. areas. Also outlawed are tobacco advertising and the sale and import of sweets and toys modeled after tobacco products. Health Minister Rida Saeed said authorities were working on campaigns that explain to the public the health hazards of smoking and the environmental, economic and social vices of smoking. Egypt, Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates and most recently Iraq have imposed similar restrictions on smoking, but the bans vary in scope and enforcement. Iraqs government in August unveiled sweeping curbs on smoking after parliament ratified the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which requires governments to fight smoking.

Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, top, is unable to stop a shot into the net by Colorado Avalanches Scott Hannan. The Avalanche defeated the Bruins 4-3 Monday. The Bruins got a power play in the final 5 minutes but were unable to get a shot on goal. The Avalanche took a lead in the first period on goals by Hejduk and Hannan 37 seconds apart in the opening 6:52. To come back from the 2-0 deficit, we were feeling very good about ourselves, Wheeler said. Were doing that too many times. Hejduk scored on the power-play off the rebound of Kyle Quinceys shot, giving Colorado power-play scores in each of its five games this season. Its the Avalanches longest stretch to open a season since they had power-play scores in nine straight to begin 1997-98. Hannan, a defenseman, raced in for a rebound and slipped a shot into a wide-open net after Rask shifted to his left to block Jones shot from the circle. Rask, making his second consecutive start, stopped 18 shots. The Bruins tied it 2-2 on scores by Recchi and Wheeler midway into the second period.

the better. If, as some have speculated, Wrights frustrating inconsistencies stem from attempting to do too much, then playing alongside game manager extraordinaire Chris Paul ought to be an adequate solution to that problem. At least, thats what Hornets coach Byron Scott is hoping. Wright enters the preseason as the Hornets starting small forward instead of playing limited minutes off the bench. It would be difficult to overstate what a golden opportunity this is for Wright. Hes joining a starting five that includes Chris Paul and
David West, both NBA all-stars. West is the Hornets post scorer who demands double teams and will free up Wright on the court. Paul is the best point guard in the NBA. If Wright can find space and given his athleticism, its probably safe to assume that he will do so often Paul will find him. Wright wont be the only one benefitting, though. He replaces Peja Stojakovic in the starting five and, although Wright isnt the deep threat Peja is, he offers better play in just about every other facet of the game. Wright and Hornets center Emeka Okafor present a rangy and athletic front line capable of nabbing long rebounds, swatting shots and intercepting passes. Wright is also a versatile on-ball defender, tall enough to guard power forwards but still quick enough to defend

shooting guards. And, of course, Wright is capable of putting dazzling finishes on Chris Pauls trademark alley-oop passes. Indeed, Wright brings the potential for great things to the Hornets staring five. But Wright has always had potential in spades. Whether he can harness it this season may well decide if his days languishing in relative obscurity are finished. Edited by Nick Gerik

Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said he had seen a lot of good defensive linemen, including former Tiger Ziggy Hood, selected 32nd overall in the 2009 NFL Draft. But after watching Suh up close Thursday, Pinkel said he didnt think there was a better defensive lineman in college football this year. Its a task to be able to handle him, Pinkel said. Give him credit where credit is due. Hes a great football player. Pinkel said he thought his teams pass protection wasnt necessarily the issue Suh is just that dominant. Brown said
Monday that Suh lateral quickness and power made him a force to be reckoned with. Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, whose team takes on Nebraska this Saturday, also spoke highly of Suhs abilities, but said his game plan wouldnt necessarily change to counter Suhs presence. A good player can do a lot of things. They move him all over, Leach said. Well just keep an eye on him and know where hes at. Were not nearly as concerned about him as we are about the Nebraska Cornhuskers overall. Edited by Jacob Muselmann

denver Broncos coach Josh Mcdaniels salutes the crowd after the Broncos defeated the New England Patriots 20-17 in overtime in an NFL football game Sunday in Denver. The teams latest victory has given them a 5-0 record. laying on Priefer. Easy to laugh at the episode now, because the Broncos won. Sometimes on game day, its better to listen to what youre saying, than how youre saying it, McDaniels said. And that would be my message to the staff. Errors and tantrums aside, Denver is in rarified air. Only three other teams have 5-0 records and the other four times the Broncos have started this well, theyve ended up in the Super Bowl. Nearly a third of the way into the season, it is too late to attribute the Broncos success to them sneaking up on people, or a slate of games against bad opponents. Yes, there were wins over Cleveland and Oakland. But also over New England and Dallas. Even the season-opening Cincinnati win is looking a lot better: The Bengals (4-1) havent lost since. The Broncos have given up a grand total of 43 points, four touchdowns fewer than any team thats played five games. They are ranked second in yards allowed. The offense, meanwhile, is getting more efficient. Orton threw for 330 yards and two scores against New England. He improved to 26-12 as an NFL starter.
DENVER Colorado Rockies manager Jim Tracy juggled his lineup again, flip-flopping Garrett Atkins and Yorvit Torrealba for Game 4 of the playoffs against the Philadelphia Phillies. The weather warmed considerably Monday after a cold front moved out of Colorado, with a gametime temperature of 48 degrees. Game 3 was played in the mid-20s with a first-pitch reading of 35 degrees, tied for the coldest postseason start ever. Tracy moved Atkins up to fifth following his 2-for-4, two-RBI performance in the sixth spot Sunday night. He bumped down Torrealba, who went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in the No. 5 spot in Colorados 6-5 loss in Game 3. Did we maybe take him out of his comfort level a little bit? Its possible, Tracy said. The Phillies, who led 2-1 in the best-of-five series, sent Cliff Lee to the mound Monday, and Tracy said he felt really good putting Atkins behind Todd Helton and Troy Tulowitzki in the middle of the order.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. A team thats lost 28 of 30 games takes encouragement from every nook, cranny and crawlspace where it can be found. Once the sting went away, the Kansas City Chiefs found a few things to like about their 26-20 overtime loss to Dallas. They made plays in the kicking game, recovering a muffed punt and kicking two field goals. They made some defensive stands, although not enough. But the Chiefs still lost. They travel to Washington now hoping to avoid being the first team in the franchises 50-year history to start a season 0-6.

Junior wide reciever Dezmon Briscoe pulls in an over the shoulder catch for a touchdown Saturday. Briscoe had 12 receptions for 186 yards and two touchdowns.
ansas must be on upset alert heading into Colorado this weekend after its performance against Iowa State. Yes, Todd Reesing posted incredible numbers again last weekend. Throwing for 442 yards is hardly a statistic one can frown upon. But watching the game told a different story. On Kansas second-to-last drive of Saturdays seesaw battle, two of Reesings passes hit the dirt on a drive that could have sealed the game against Iowa State. Instead, as Iowa State threw one last pass to the end zone, thousands of freezing faces in the crowd were stuck in mirror images of Macaulay Culkin from Home Alone. One of Reesings errant passes came on third down, with only two yards to gain. Reesing threw a pass to wide receiver Jonathan Wilson that hit the ground before reaching Wilsons hands. That type of throw can be the difference between victory or defeat in the Big 12, especially when traveling to Colorado, a place that feeds off of opponents little mistakes. Theres something in the air, or lack of air, at Colorados Folsom Field that causes trouble for opposing teams. The high altitude at the stadium, the surrounding jagged mountains and the close proximity of the student section to the field can intimidate visiting teams. Colorado has been able to pull off big upsets in years past, even when its record is less than respectable. In 2007 the Buffaloes beat the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners 27-24 in a season when they only won six out of 13 games. Last year, Colorado beat No. 21 West Virginia at home 17-14 but finished the year with a record of 5-7. The Buffaloes have a knack for somehow pulling off victories in their home environment, and the Jayhawks must do everything they can to prevent that. Colorados offense, which has struggled all year, has the opportunity to gain confidence against a Kansas defense that showed some uninspired play against Iowa State. If Kansas can stop Colorado early, take the fans out of the game and force the Buffaloes to rely on their passing attack, the Jayhawks will have a good chance to win. Evidence of this came last week when Colorado led at halftime against the No. 2 Texas Longhorns IN Texas. Colorado, helped by some lucky plays, gained confidence in the first half and looked as if it might be able to pull off the impossible. But Texas, playing in front of a home crowd, came back in the second half. Colorado will be starting a new quarterback against Kansas on Saturday. Tyler Hansen, who will replace Cody Hawkins, will pose a double threat to the Kansas defense with his ability to scramble as well as pass. Corralling Hansen and throwing him off rhythm will be the key to keeping Colorado off the scoreboard and out of Kansas way to the Big 12 North title. Edited by Nick Gerik
