Students at the University are
familiar with the landscape of
campus: the Chi Omega foun-
tain, the limestone buildings
where classes are held and the
fourishing fowerbeds found in
the spring. However, only eight
were up to the challenge of de-
signing and cre-
ating clothing to
mimic it.
Te prelimi-
nary competition
for the Student
Union Activitys
ffh annual Proj-
ect Runway took
place Monday at
the Kansas Union.
Te designers
were instructed to design an
outft or piece of clothing that
represented their favorite place
on campus or in Lawrence.
We wanted the challenge to
be personal, said Sara Miller, a
junior from St. Francis. Teir
location may not be stand-out
to everyone, but it is meaningful
to them.
Te judging panel made up of
SUA members scored the sub-
missions of eight designers. Five
designers will be selected to pres-
ent their collections.
Today we really just wanted
to focus on what they can do,
said Rachel Anderson, a senior
from Manhattan. We want to
see if their personality will shine
through on the runway.
Each runway show will feature
three outfts designed, sewed and
presented by
the student con-
testant. Each
designer is lim-
ited to a $150
budget, given to
the contestants
by the SUA. All
of the outfts
will represent
a themed chal-
lenge.
We try to give them a pretty
broad challenge topic, Anderson
said. Tat way they have more
creative leeway and it is fun to
see what they come up with.
Miller said since the SUA Proj-
ect Runway frst began, it has ac-
quired a following of interested
designers and students who en-
joy attending the show.

Debate focuses on First Amendment
BY ANGELIQUE
MCNAUGHTON
amcnaughton@kansan.com
Last night, accompanied by
ringing bells, audience members at
the Dole Institute of Politics recited
the Preamble to the Constitution.
Te reading of the Preamble
served as the introduction to the
discussion Is Nothing Sacred?
Snyder v. Phelps and Free Speech.
Te Dole Institute of Politics and
the School of Law co-sponsored
the event in honor of Constitution
Day, which was Sept. 17.
Bill Lacy, director of the Dole
Institute of Politics and a modera-
tor for the discussion, said Stephen
McAllister suggested the topic.
Lacy chose it for discussion be-
cause of its enormous appeal.
Its controversial and timely,
Lacy said.
Te discussion about the case
featured Stephen McAllister and
Christina Wells. McAllister, a Uni-
versity professor in law, argued for
the Snyder family.
McAllister focused his opinion
and presentation of facts around
the premise Is Nothing Sacred?
Te big picture issue is that is
there no limit? Tis case really tests
how much we believe in certain
principles, McAllister said.
Wells, a professor of law at the
University of Missouri, said she
believed strongly in those prin-
ciples. She presented arguments in
favor of free speech and the First
Amendment.
Wells focused on picketing, say-
ing people have the right to talk to
someone and target someone in
particular.
All protestors target someone,
Wells said. You dont necessar-
ily have the right to be free from
speech that is ofensive to you.
In 2006, Fred Phelps and mem-
bers of the Westboro Baptist
Church picketed the funeral of
Marine Matthew Snyder. Snyders
family sued and the case has been
granted an appeal to the United
States Supreme
Court. Te case
goes before the
court on Oct. 6.
Wells said the
Phelps partici-
pation and pres-
ence at the 2006
funeral did not
violate any state
funeral laws.
Mc Al l i s t e r
said tradition-
ally, in the U.S.,
anything goes.
Is the American view the best
view? Maybe it is, maybe it isnt.
Tis case may decide that, McAl-
lister said.
Cierha Berry said she came to
the event because she sees Fred
Phelps everywhere
and wanted to know
what members of
the Westboro Bap-
tist Church were
currently involved
in.
I can under-
stand where they
are coming from
now in terms of
freedom of speech,
said Berry, a junior
from Salina.
Kate Gleeson, a second-year law
student from Lawrence, said she
has a hard time respecting anyone
who protests a funeral and afer
tonights discussion she would
be more receptive if the Supreme
Court did restrict speech.
Matt Franzblau, a graduate stu-
dent from Bridgewater, New Jersey,
said his heart went out to the Sny-
der family. As long as the Phelps
are on public property they cant be
told what to do because they have
rights, Franzblau said.
I went in there pro-speech and
came out the exact same, Franzb-
lau said.
Kyle Larson, a senior from
Olathe, said although he did not
agree with their speech, he did be-
lieve it should be protected.
Tis event reinforced my be-
liefs, Larson said.

Spotlight on groups Muslim Student Association
BY ALLISON BOND
abond@kansan.com
Every Friday afternoon at 1:30
p.m. Muslim students gather to
pray with community members at
the Islamic Center of Lawrence
mosque. This would not be pos-
sible if it were not for the Muslim
Student Association. Founded in
the 1970s, this campus club was
the only Muslim community group
in town. About 10 years later, the
MSA got sponsorship to build a
community mosque, now known
as the Islamic Center of Lawrence,
located at 19th Street and Naismith
Drive.
Today about 60 members make
up this organization. Currently, the
organizations main goals are to
reach Muslim students on campus
and to educate the student body
about Muslim identity. Ibrahim
Alanqar, president of the club,
joined four years ago after going to
the mosque for weekly prayer.
I wanted to embrace being
Muslim. I wanted people to know
that this is who
we are and this
is what we do,
Alanqar said.
Especially after
Sept. 11, we had
to do a lot of
work to let peo-
ple know and
become more
aware of the real
us.
During its
Islam Awareness Week event, the
MSA works on
campus to let
Muslims and
non-Musl i ms
know about
Islam through
e d u c a t i o n ,
social activities
and community
service. Several
different events
to educate cam-
pus such as spe-
cial lectures, a womens day and an
informational tent on Stauffer-Flint
lawn occur starting Oct. 27.
This year we are trying to work
with other religious groups on
campus to see if they want to con-
tribute to the week by talking about
religious issues such as freedom of
speech, freedom of religion, and
the religious intolerance that has
been happening in the country,
Alanqar said.
The club has weekly meetings on
Friday for Halaqah, where students
gather to read and study the Quran
and talk about Islam in their daily
lives. It also organized the Fast-A-
Thon in which up to 500 students
and professors have participated
in the past to contribute donations
that the MSA gives to a local home-
less shelter.

NATIONAL
Justice Department attorney commits suicide
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A Justice
Department prosecutor killed
himself while under investigation
over whether he and other attor-
neys in the prosecution of Sen.
Ted Stevens acted improperly in
the case, officials said.
Nicholas A. Marsh, 37, com-
mitted suicide on Sunday, two
years after being part of the Justice
Department team that convicted
Stevens on corruption charges
that were eventually thrown out.
Marshs suicide was confirmed by
his lawyer, Robert Luskin.
I think Nick loved being a
prosecutor and I think he was
incredibly fearful that this would
prevent him from continuing to
work for the Justice Department,
Luskin said Monday. Its incred-
ibly tragic after all this time when
we were on the
verge of a suc-
cessful resolu-
tion.
The pros-
ecutors in the
Stevens case
failed to dis-
close evidence
favorable to the
defendant as
Supreme Court
precedent requires. The omis-
sion was so serious that Attorney
General Eric Holder stepped
in and asked a federal judge to
throw out Stevens convictions,
which the judge did, while taking
the additional step of appointing
a prominent Washington attor-
ney, Henry
S c h u e l k e ,
to investi-
gate possible
improprieties
by the pros-
ecutors.
My general
sense is that
with the direc-
tion things are
going, I real-
ly would have been shocked if
Hank had done anything other
than exonerate Nick Marsh, said
Luskin, who called the suicide a
terrible tragedy.
Luskin said his impression was
that the investigation was draw-
ing to a close.
I think we were within shout-
ing distance of the finish line, the
attorney said.
Stevens, a longtime Republican
senator from Alaska, lost his
Senate seat in an election shortly
after his October 2008 convic-
tion. He died in a plane crash in
Alaska in August.
Lanny Breuer, the assistant
attorney general in charge of the
Justice Departments criminal
division, said, Our deepest sym-
pathies go out to Nicks family
and friends on this sad day. The
Department of Justice is a com-
munity, and today our commu-
nity is mourning the loss of this
dedicated young attorney.
During the Schuelke investi-
gation, Marsh had been trans-
ferred from the departments
Public Integrity Section, which
handles corruption probes.
Marsh most recently been work-
ing in the departments Office of
International Affairs.
Notwithstanding the unfound-
ed accusations recently made
against him, he took his ethi-
cal and professional obligations
as seriously as any prosecutor
or lawyer Ive ever met, Joshua
Berman, a former prosecutor and
close friend of Marsh, said in a
statement.
Its incredibly tragic after
all this time when we
were on the verge of a
successful resolution.

The week-long fall KU Blood
Drive kicked off Monday at the
Kansas Union. Students who
donated received a free T-shirt
and free catered Jimmy Johns
sandwiches, but many students
who donated blood Monday gave
other reasons for their choice.
Hannah Hindman, a junior
from St. Louis, admitted she was
nervous, but still decided to give
blood because it was the right
thing to do.
One day maybe Ill need blood,
and hopefully someone will be
willing enough to give as well,
Hindman said.
The blood drive met its dona-
tion goal for the day, but phleboto-
mist Charlene Good said meeting
the daily quota was never enough.
Donations are always down,
Good said. The way I tell a lot
of people is every time you hear
sirens, you might as well think
of 20 units already being needed,
because somewhere in the hospi-
tals we provide for, somebody will
need it.
Jessica McCoy, a sophomore
from Fort Riley who donated at
the blood drive, said she gives
blood because she is the only per-
son in her family who can do so.
It gives me some incentive,
because I kind of feel like Im mak-
ing up for them, McCoy said.
Students who plan on giving
blood later in the week are encour
drink plenty of fluids through-
out the day. Afterwards, they are
encouraged to take it easy. The
blood drive schedule, including
locations, can be found at http://
kublooddrive.com/locations.htm.

TIpS FoR A SUccESSFUL DoNATIoN:
1. Get a lot of rest the night before your donation.
2. Have a good breakfast and/or lunch but avoid fatty
foods. Fatty materials, or lipids, remain in your blood
for several hours and may prevent the proper testing
of your blood.
3. begin drinking lots of liquids especially water, 24
hours before donating and AVOId cafeinated bev-
erages.
4. eat iron-rich foods, such as red meat, poultry, fsh,
liver, beans, iron-fortifed cereals, green leafy vegeta-
bles, and raisins.
AT THE DoNATIoN SITE:
1. Wear clothing with sleeves that can be raised above
the elbow.
2. If you have donated blood before, show the staf
member any good veins that have been used in the
past.
AFTER DoNATINg:
1. drink plenty of fuids over the next 24 to 48 hours.
2. Avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for fve
hours after the donation.
3. If you feel light-headed, lie down with your feet el-
evated until the feeling passes. Sometimes tapping
your toes like dorothy in the Wizard of Oz (theres
no place like home. theres no place like home.) also
helps.
If for any reason something does not feel right after
you have donated, call the phone number provided
to you after your donation.

Blood Drive week begins,

BY ALLYSON SHAW

Naked Lunch is filled with
sex, drugs and bad language.
The novel was first published
in Paris in 1959 by a Lawrence
resident, William S. Burroughs,
and was banned in 1962 by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Three Lawrence residents sat as a
panel last night at the Lawrence
Public Library to discuss censor-
ship in the 60s and today.
Its thought that these books
will sweep people away, but these
people are already swept away,
said local artist and Burroughs
companion, Wayne Propst.
When they encounter a book
like this they say, Ah, its great to
meet a fellow traveler.
Hundreds of books are chal-
lenged every year in America,
said attorney and panelist Bill
Hays. Hays was involved in a
case in the early 90s in which the
Olathe school district removed
the book Annie On My Mind
because its opponents claimed
it promoted homosexuality. The
court forced the school to return
the books.
Hopefully all attempts to ban
or censor books like this will be
shut down, Hays said. It is our
First Amendment right.
Naked Lunch was the last
book to undergo an obscenity
trial in America. It was most heav-
ily criticized for its description
of child murder and pedophilia.
The book was first sold alongside
stroke novels until the propri-
etor of the store was thrown into
jail, said James Grauerholz, exec-
utor of Burroughs literary estate
and panelist.
Grauerholz said the culture
clash of the 1960s contributed to
the book being banned.
People said that there was
this spreading, contagious illness
that would make young people
act out sexual desires and speak
for themselves and that it was
caused by the words of these
obscure poets and prose writers,
Grauerholz said.
Propst said although some of
his art may be shocking to young
people, its still important for
them to see. He
talked about a
piece he worked
on that depicts a
child with severe
burns, which
represents what
is happen-
ing to children
in Kabul and
Baghdad.
My son looks
at that and says,
Thats gross,
Propst said. But thats not my
problem. This is real its hap-
pening. Some of the art Ive made
would be disturbing to anyone,
including me.
Grauerholz said although art,
music or books may be censored,
they will not be removed thanks
to technology. When Naked
Lunch was first published and
removed, it was gone. But today,
the Internet makes it possible to
access almost anything.
The art people see, the music
people hear and the words peo-
ple understand have been liber-
ated by intangible digital media,
Gr a u e r h o l z
said.
A l t h o u g h
Naked Lunch
is available in
school and
public libraries,
it is still racy,
Gr a u e r h o l z
said.
Theres a
saying that
todays banned
book is tomor-
rows textbook, Grauerholz said.
But Im proud that hasnt hap-
pened to Naked Lunch. Its too
subversive, too shocking.
Propst added, Its too smart.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Neil Young set out to make a
solo acoustic album when he called
up his friend Daniel Lanois to do
some recording earlier this year
at the producers home studio, an
early 20th century mansion over-
looking Silver Lake in California.
When they finished, they came
up with something beyond what
either of them could have imag-
ined. Young reaches for a new
genre classification to describe the
album, Le Noise (Reprise), due
out Tuesday.
Its folk-metal, he says with a
laugh. We got this sound on the
guitar that was very exciting to us.
Theres the singularity of a folk per-
formance on the guitar, but with a
heavy-metal civilization of sound
around it.
If Le Noise has any antecedent
in the Young catalog, its the elec-
tric guitar experiments he brought
to Arc, the instrumental compan-
ion to his 1991 Weld live album.
That was just a bunch of noise
we were having fun with, Young
says. This is about songs built on
riffs. Dan loved those riffs, and
they gave him something to hang
the sound on.
Lanois, who has worked with
artists ranging from U2 and Bob
Dylan to Willie Nelson and Peter
Gabriel, had never recorded with
Young before. He had been work-
ing on new approaches to shaping
sound in the studio for several
years with engineer Mark Howard
when Young called. The singer was
inspired by the way Lanois was
simultaneously audio recording
and video recording performances
in his studio, creating a distinc-
tive look and sound that strad-
dled cutting-edge technology and
organic, performance-based music.
Indeed, the
video accompa-
nying the Le
Noise album
is stunning _ a
shadow play of
stark black-and-
white images
that documents
the live record-
ing and enhanc-
es it with evoca-
tive lighting.
But the core of the album is its
extraordinary sound: a wide-screen
intimacy conjured by just a voice
and a guitar. Lanois had a surprise
waiting for Young when he walked
into his studio for the first time.
The producer handed the singer
a tricked-out acoustic guitar that
made it sound like a small orches-
tra: a beefed-up bass response on
the lower two strings, a pick up that
recreates the sound of the human
voice and allows
it to loop and
echo through
the song, and a
tremolo ampli-
fier.
You get four
d i me n s i o n s
of sound out
of one acous-
tic guitar, and
I thought it
might inspire
him to play a certain way, Lanois
says. We got the clarity of the
guitar with a rich, beautiful bot-
tom, a great subsonic sound with
no mumbo -jumbo. It started with
that sound on that guitar and we
recorded two songs. Then, at the
end of the first session, we went
electric on the song Hitchhiker.
Thats when things really started
getting interesting.
The hollow-body electric guitar
was channeled through two ampli-
fiers, one clean-sounding and the
other for tremolo effect. Lanois saw
even greater potential: We covered
both ends of the sound spectrum
with the guitar. Its got this cutting,
razor-drill sound and this beautiful
bass tone with sweet melody on the
other end.
Young, not prone to hyperbole
in interviews, was blown away by
the guitar sounds Lanois was able
to capture: It sounded like God.
The songwriter brought sev-
eral songs into the session and
wrote a few more in between visits
to Lanois house, each recording
session taking place under a full
moon.
Neil has said he does good work
when theres a full moon, Lanois
says, so who am I to argue?
Whether it was the guitars, the
setting or the alignment of the
planets, Le Noise is one of Youngs
finest recordings. Its merger of vio-
lence and plaintiveness provides a
striking backdrop for the singers
meditations on themes that have
obsessed him for decades: on mak-
ing love last past the first rush
of romance, the corruption of the
planet, his own search for redemp-
tion and clarity. On Hitchhiker,
he chronicles his life as a string
of abusive episodes with drugs,
and winds up grateful that hes
still standing with a partner who
loves him.
Mortality drapes itself over the
songs. In the last nine months,
two of Youngs closest collabora-
tors died: filmmaker Larry L.A.
Johnson and multi-instrumentalist
and producer Ben Keith.
Keiths death leaves a hole in
Youngs touring band that the sing-
er believes he can never fill.
There is about 70 percent of
my repertoire that I will never
do again (with a band), Young
says. There is no sense in trying
to redo what was already great.
Theres no payoff in that. Thats not
what Im about.
Im thankful to have known Ben
and played with him for 40 years.
He was one of my best friends, and
I miss him very much. I dont see
myself playing those songs with a
band in the future. I can play them
by myself, but I cant play them
with a band.

O
n July 29 of this year,
the Tribal Law and Or-
der Act was signed into
law. Te impetus for the law was
the disturbingly high number
of rape victims among Native
American women.
In 2007, Amnesty Internation-
al issued a report that included
shocking statistics about sexual
assault among these communi-
ties: Native American women
are rape victims 2.5 times
more ofen than other women
in the U.S. In fact, more than
one-third of Native American
women will be victims of rape.
And, as Amnesty International
director recently wrote in an
article regarding the necessity of
addressing this issue, women
from the Standing Rock Sioux
Reservation in the Dakotas told
us that they couldnt think of a
single woman who hadnt been
sexually assaulted.
Tese facts are chilling. For
a long time now, our country
has failed these women. Whats
more, the inadequate protection
and fulfllment of their rights has
not even been acknowledged on
a large public scale until recently.
Even now, with the passage of
the bill, the media coverage was
less than deserved.
As citizens of the United
States, it is within their rights
to be protected under the law;
this means providing adequate
medical examinations and doc-
tor consultations for victims,
investigations into sexual assault
cases, and prosecuting perpetra-
tors.
Unfortunately, a lot of these
cases have been slipping through
the cracks, allowing more
and more Native American
women to be victimized.
Te Tribal Law and Order
Act is the frst step in addressing
many of these problems.
Te law is designed to
increase communication and
cooperation among tribal, local,
state, and federal governments to
provide more accountability for
dealing with crimes and other is-
sues. Tis includes a more com-
prehensively organized way to
share criminal data and history
among the levels of government.
In addition, the law also
provides for more empowerment
of tribal governments in keeping
their communities safe.
Of course, passing the law
does not mean the problems are
over. It will take a lot of bureau-
cratic cooperation and strategic
implementation to make sure
the objectives are met in a timely
manner. And it is important to
note that logistically, the law is
not perfect. But, it is a step in
the right direction. It shows that
the administration is beginning
to take these types of rights
violations seriously and wants to
do something about them.

engulfed in debate
over whether to extend
Bush-era tax cuts, issues of class
are again at the forefront of the
national conversation.
Te disagreement centers
on whether those cuts should
be extended for all Americans,
including families with incomes
over $250,000. Republicans and
a sizable number of Democrats
are adamant about the need for
across-the-board extensions.
President Obama, on the other
hand, favors extending the cuts for
middle class families.
Lingering not far beneath
the surface of the controversy is
the issue of income inequality.
An economist at the University
of California-Berkeley recently
calculated that the top one percent
of American income earners
hold 20 percent of the nations
wealth. Tose who question the
need for tax cuts for the wealthy
seize on such fgures, noting that
historically, concentrated wealth
has been linked to economic
downturns.
While the outcome of the
tax debate will have enormous
implications for income inequality,
there hasnt been as much focus
on the most glaring area of class
disparity: higher education.
Te Kansas Board of Regents
recently unveiled a proposal
to expand fnancial aid by $10
million, including $6 million
recouped from university sales
taxes and $4 million sponsored by
Kansas universities and athletics
departments. With Kansas lagging
behind all other Big 12 states in
fnancial assistance to students, the
plan is worthy of support.
Te backdrop to the Regents
proposal is a staggering increase in
the cost of a university education.
While the University guarantees
students a fat rate of tuition for
four years, each entering class
faces consistently higher tuition
and fees. Tuition skyrocketed
more than 200 percent in the past
decade.
One area that hasnt seen nearly
as much growth is family income.
Calculations from the Center on
Budget and Policy Priorities and
the Coalition on Human Needs
fnd that, in infation-adjusted
dollars, the median income for a
Kansas household was $50,852.
Te fgure declined to $49,119 by
2008.
With college costs consuming
an ever-larger proportion of
families budgets, debt levels are
rising astronomically. And thats
for students who end up making
it to campus. As more families are
priced out of higher education,
many students reconsider the
value pursuing a bachelors degree
even as that degree is more
essential than ever to thrive in a
sink-or-swim job market. Among
students who drop out, mounting
loan balances are prime culprits.
Tis has disconcerting
economic, political, and social
ramifcations. If upward mobility
pulling oneself up by the
bootstraps is to be a reality, then
college education cant become
the exclusive province of the
comfortable. Te GI Bill of the
postwar years created a dynamic
middle class and played a major
role in fostering a decades-long
economic boom. Moreover, the
Greatest Generation was among
the most civically engaged.
Education increases ones
sense of a stake in public afairs.
Allowing the university experience
to slip further out of reach will
inevitably result in the alienation
of a growing segment of the
American populace.
Most important, though,
is the impact that the current
stratifcation has on students.
Denying them the ability to
interact with people from diverse
racial, cultural, and socioeconomic
backgrounds keeps their worlds
unnecessarily small. Its high time
policymakers work to ensure that
doesnt happen and the Board
of Regents proposal is an excellent
start.

Seven billion dollars seri-
ously? I could have had that much
dough if I had created Facebook?
If thats the case, someone get me a
DeLorean. Im going back to 2003
to hang out with Mark Zucker-
berg, former Harvard student and
founder of Facebook, the popular
social networking site.
How popular? Recent estimates
put the number of Facebook users
around 550 million, which means
the advertising department is
probably poppin bottles as we
speak. Zuckerbergs personal worth
is estimated at around $6.9 billion,
making him number 35 on Forbes
list of wealthiest individuals, above
much older billionaires like Steve
Jobs and Rupert Murdoch, and the
youngest billionaire in the United
States.
To understand how much $6.9
billion is, Ill put this number in
perspective.
What could you buy with
almost $7 billion? Start with my
car, a Toyota Yaris, for example;
you could purchase a veritable
armada 437,000 of them. Not
really a Toyota person? Have a
taste for luxury? No worries. You
could drive home a cool 25,000
Lamborghinis, or basically enough
to drive a diferent Lamborghini
every day for the next 68 years. Or
perhaps you have an inkling for
extra-planetary travel. At $1.7 bil-
lion a pop, you could commandeer
yourself four space shuttles.
Enough with the fantasy; what
Im interested in is reality, and in
particular the donation of $100
million to a school district in New-
ark, New Jersey.
Tats right, forget about what
you might do with all his money.
Zuckerberg is giving $100 million
to the Newark School District,
and surprisingly, not everyone is
supportive. Some view this move,
which was made public Friday
during Zuckerbergs appearance
on Oprah, as a publicity stunt to
sofen a public image that will no
doubt be called into question in
the coming months.
Te Social Network, an up-
coming movie about the found-
ing of Facebook, does not exactly
portray Zuckerberg as a very nice
guy. As a result, some believe that
Zuckerberg has tried to launch
a preemptive battle to bufer his
public image. Tis notion is bol-
stered by the fact that that the usu-
ally frugal and low-key Zuckerberg
the man who can aford 25,000
Lamborghinis, drives an Acura is
clearly spending like he never has
before, even if it is for charity.
Afer all, $100 million is a lot
of money. However, again, let
us put this in perspective; $100
million, which is more than what
99.9 percent of all humans would
earn in several lifetimes, is only 1.4
percent of Zuckerbergs net worth.
A drop in the bucket, right?
Wrong. Rarely in history have
we seen such large donations given
directly in such a public forum.
Looking at the largest donations
ever granted, seven of the top 10
were granted directly from the
owner to his or her own charity.
Tis, although certainly honor-
able, is more of a cop-out in many
regards, as the donors are more
ofen than not merely shifing their
money to another branch of their
control.
So, are we to believe that Zuck-
erbergs donation is inconsequen-
tial? No. Only two other donations
of $100 million or more have been
made in the United States this year,
even though at least 34 people have
even more money to give than
Zuckerberg. In a Sept. 24 article of
Te New York Times, Patrick M.
Rooney, executive director of the
Center on Philanthropy at Indiana
University, called the donation ex-
ceptional and mind-boggling,
especially given that Zuckerberg is
only 26 years old.
Writing of Zuckerbergs dona-
tion as a publicity ploy is unfair.
Its still $100 million, regardless
of whether youre Bill Gates or
a starving college student. If the
money is funding education, we
should all be on board. Forget
PR and image; Mark Zuckerberg
should be commended. Lets hope
those Newark kids put the money
to good use.

ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADISON, Wis. President
Barack Obama is returning to the
University of Wisconsin to ask
young voters who helped propel
him to the White House to sup-
port fellow Democrats in key races
for governor and U.S. Senate.
Tuesdays visit carries a decid-
edly different political atmosphere
than the one that surrounded the
then-candidate in 2008, when
a boisterous overflow crowd of
more than 17,000 people greeted
Obama at the Madison campus.
His popularity has since dipped
amid the nationwide recession,
and many Democrats face tough
challenges in the Nov. 2 midterm
election.
During a Monday confer-
ence call with college journalists,
Obama acknowledged excitement
has waned in the last two years.
But he said he hoped the Madison
rally would re-engage students
and emphasize the importance
of the midterm to advancing his
agenda.
You cant sit it out, Obama
said. You cant suddenly just check
in once every 10 years or so, on
an exciting presidential election,
and then not pay attention dur-
ing big midterm elections where
weve got a real big choice between
Democrats and Republicans.
One of the biggest choices fac-
ing Wisconsin voters is whether to
send Sen. Russ Feingold back for
a fourth term. Feingold whos
facing Republican millionaire
businessman Ron Johnson is
skipping Obamas event Tuesday,
opting to remain in Washington
where the Senate is in session.
Feingold also chose to attend his
hometown Labor Day parade
rather than stand with Obama
at a Milwaukee rally earlier this
month.
Feingolds absence this time
around may be more curious
given his reliance on college stu-
dents and independent voters to
fuel his wins. In 2004, exit polls
showed voters ages 18-29 favored
Feingold 56 percent to 42 percent
over Republican Tim Michels,
mirroring Feingolds 55 percent to
44 percent margin of victory.
Wisconsin traditionally has
had one of the
highest young
voter turnouts.
In 2008, 58
percent of 18-
to 29-year-olds
voted, accord-
ing to the
Washi ngton-
b a s e d
Center for
Inf or mat i on
& Research on Civic Learning
& Engagement (CIRCLE).
Nationally, exit polls showed
young voters backed Obama
66 percent to 31 percent over
Republican John McCain.
They helped give Obama a sur-
prisingly large 14-point win in
Wisconsin, far greater than the
margin in the two previous pres-
idential elections in which the
Democrat won the state by less
than half a percentage point.
Democrats hoped the momen-
tum would carry into the mid-
term, but Wisconsins mood
soured as the recession brought
the states unemployment levels in
a generation. A July poll showed
Obamas approval in Wisconsin at
49 percent, down from 60 percent
last November.
The enthusiasm gap could
prove particularly precarious for
Democrats this year because so
many more young voters sup-
ported them in 2008, said Peter
Levine, director of CIRCLE.
The story of how much the
turnout falls is a story about how
disillusioned the Democratic base
is now, Levine said.
The mood on campus has
shifted as well, said University of
Wisconsin senior Nick Novak, a
volunteer for Republican guber-
natorial candidate Scott Walkers
campaign.
A lot of
students just
kind of blindly
followed him
because thats
what everyone
else was doing
because he
was the cool
c a nd i d a t e ,
Novak said of
Obama.
Novak said student efforts back-
ing Walker are more organized
on campus than they were for
Republican John McCains presi-
dential campaign two years ago.
I think all around theres a
general excitement about conser-
vative candidates who are going
to change the way our state and
nation is run, said Novak, who is
working with Republican students
on 20 other Wisconsin campuses.
Sondra Milkie, volunteer coor-
dinator for the College Democrats
of Madison, said students are
working just as hard to get
Feingold and Democratic guber-
natorial candidate Tom Barrett
elected this year.
They are incredibly excited,
said Milkie, also a 21-year-old
senior. I think people know this
election is important to students.
The state Democratic Party has
a dozen paid campus organizers
working with college Democrats
statewide to make phone calls,
distribute leaflets and help stu-
dents get registered and turn out
Nov. 2, said party chairman Mike
Tate.
They are using the same tac-
tics as during the 2008 campaign,
which focused heavily on social
networking websites and cell
phone text messaging to organize
students, said Tate, who predicted
the presidents visit would be an
absolute shot in the arm for the
base of our party.
The Madison rally is one of four
Obama has scheduled in swing
states during the next month. He
will almost certainly talk about
administration efforts to make
college more affordable, stimulate
the economy so jobs are available
for graduates, and allow young
adults to remain on parents health
insurance until age 26.
But the event is organized as
more youth-focused pep rally
than policy discussion. Popular
rock band the National, along with
singer-songwriter Ben Harper, are
scheduled to warm up the crowd.
And despite Feingolds absence,
the White House clearly recogniz-
es holding his seat is essential to
maintaining Democratic control
of the Senate. First lady Michelle
Obama plans to host a fundraiser
for Feingold in Milwaukee next
month. During his Labor Day
visit, Obama praised Feingold,
saying hes looking out for middle
class workers, and is likely to talk
up the senator again Tuesday.
Tides of sentiment have turned
for Obama, Democrats since 2008

in the report.
The report came hours ahead
of the start of the countrys biggest
political meeting in three decades
and amid intense speculation that
Kim Jong Ils youngest son and sis-
ter could be given key posts at the
gathering.
It marks
the first time
that Kim Jong
Uns name has
appeared in
official media.
It is widely
believed that the
ruling Workers
Party meeting,
which was set
to take place
later Tuesday, may pave the way for
Kim Jong Un to become his fathers
successor. Some experts also said
that Kim Kyong Hui might also get
a prominent party job to oversee
a transfer in case the leader dies
before the son is ready to take
over.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State
Kurt M. Campbell said in a con-
ference call that Washington was
watching developments carefully
and was working to interpret the
announcements significance.
The question of who will take
over from Kim Jong Il, who rules
with absolute authority but is
believed to suffer from a host of
ailments, is important to regional
security because of North Koreas
active nuclear and missile pro-
grams, and regular threats it makes
against rival South Korea.
Many delegates to the meeting
arrived in Pyongyang on Sunday
by train and the city was festooned
with flags and placards announcing
the event, footage shot by video
news service APTN showed. Warm
congratulations to the representa-
tives meeting of the Workers Party
of Korea! read one poster.
Kim Jong Il took control of North
Korea when his father, the Norths
founder Kim Il Sung, died of heart
failure in 1994. He has reportedly
groomed third son Kim Jong Un as
his heir to power.
A South Korean newspaper
reported Monday that the younger
Kim was chosen as a military del-
egate to the conference. The party
central committee then put out
internal propaganda proclaiming
him to be Kim Jong Ils sole suc-
cessor, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper
said, citing a source in North Korea
that it did not identify.
Still, some experts said Kims son
may not be ready to officially debut
as a successor, which could make
the 68-year-old leader promote his
sister to a prominent position to
help Kim Jong Un eventually run
the North.
Kim Kyong Hui, who is mar-
ried to Russian-educated Jang
Song Thaek, vice chairman of the
all-powerful National Defense
Commission, has emerged as one
of Kims key aides in recent years,
experts said.
Kim Jong Il might designate
his 64-year-old sister to serve as a
caretaker for the third-generation
successor after Kims death, for-
mer Japanese Defense Minister and
national security adviser Yuriko
Koike wrote in a syndicated col-
umn earlier this month.
Cheong Seong-chang, a senior
fellow at the Sejong Institute think
tank near Seoul, shared the view.
There is a possibility that she
could play the role of a coordinator
to make sure the power succession
goes smoothly, Cheong said.
Koike wrote that Kim Jong Il
himself signaled his sisters author-
ity in the com-
munist country
in comments
before the ruling
partys Central
Committee, say-
ing Kim Kyong
Hui is myself,
the words of
Kim Kyong Hui
are my words,
and instructions
issued by Kim
Kyong Hui are my instructions.
Koike, now a top official in
Japans Liberal Democratic Party,
did not clarify in her column how
she knew of these comments.
Kim Kyong Hui, who heads the
North Korean ruling partys light
industry department, is four years
younger than her only biological
sibling. Biographical information
about her is extremely scarce. But
a former sushi chef to Kim Jong Il
wrote in a 2003 memoir that Kim
Kyong Hui is full of charm when it
comes to her brother.
At banquets, she would sit next
to Kim Jong Il and kept on saying,
brother, brother! Kenji Fujimoto
said.
A small photo in a book pub-
lished by South Koreas Unification
Ministry shows Kim Kyong Hui
with a chubby, bespectacled face and
wavy, shoulder-length hair. Footage
aired last year by Pyongyangs state
television showed her dressed in
a light gray parka similar to her
brothers while she stood side-by-
side with him during an inspection
trip to a farm.
Koike wrote that Kim Kyong Hui
was believed to have a fierce per-
sonality, adding that Kim Jong Il is
quoted as saying, When my sister
turns violent, no one can stop her.
Even I can do nothing.
Jang Sung-min, a former South
Korean lawmaker who was involved
in foreign affairs, also said Kim
Kyong Hui has a fiery personal-
ity, citing an unidentified source
in Beijing who he says is privy to
North Korea affairs.
Kim Kyong Hui is the only per-
son in the North who can speak
frankly to Kim Jong Il and can even
be emotional in front of him, said
Jang, who authored a book on Kim
Jong Il.
Her husband, Jang Song Thaek,
was demoted in early 2004 in what
analysts believed was a warning
from Kim Jong Il against gaining
too much influence. But he has
since made a political comeback in
a rehabilitation engineered by his
wife, the former lawmaker said.
Jang returned to power in 2006
and headed the ruling partys
department handling adminis-
tration and capital construction
one year later, according to the
Unification Ministry.
Both Jang and Kim Kyong Hui
have become key officials accom-
panying Kim Jong Il during field
visits to public facilities, which
include military units that form
the key base of Kims support.
There was a big jump in the
couples appearances in KCNA in
recent years.
Kim Kyong Huis frequent
appearances in her brothers field
trips showed that she is a key
person who can play a role in the
power succession, said Kim Yong-
hyun, a North Korea expert at
Seouls Dongguk University.

MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
Randall Bramblett thinks of
himself as a band guy.
Sure, his reputation as one of
todays foremost Southern song-
writers and instrumentalists can
be corroborated by any of the
artists who have cut his songs,
including Bonnie Raitt, or who
have employed his playing prow-
ess on keyboards and saxophone
say, Steve Winwood, both in
and out of Traffic.
But ask Bramblett what kind
of musical environment provides
the most natural fit for his vocal,
instrumental and compositional
strengths, and he will readily
point to the music he has made
in a band context. For proof, just
look at any of his eight exemplary
solo albums or the harder-to-find
fusion and funk recordings he
cut with the overlooked Southern
band Sea Level in the late 70s.
Ive always been a band guy,
Bramblett said. With a band,
you just walk out onstage, play
and then walk back to the dress-
ing room. I guess I never really
viewed myself as a solo artist.
So why is Bramblett touring
predominantly as a solo perform-
er? Well, its partly out of necessity.
Great recordings and a sterling
critical reputation dont always
yield substantial financial rewards
especially in an economy in
which many established artists
from all genres are struggling to
make a living.
But its also
an opportu-
nity for a little
of the liter-
ate Southern
detail of his
songs story
lines to shine
through. There
hasnt been
a Bramblett
record in
which groove
hasnt been a
key element. But the human story
lines and keenly emotive charac-
ter studies are just as important.
If you really want to strip the
songs down and listen to them as
they were written, solo is the best
way to do it. Now, playing solo
can be vulnerable and lonely and
all that stuff. But people also tend
to listen more carefully at a solo
show than at a band show, believe
it or not.
Admittedly, some of Brambletts
records translate readily to a solo
context. His new album, The
Meantime, shifts the focus from
band-oriented tunes to more
introspective works performed
primarily on piano or by a trio
of piano, bass
and drums.
I just fol-
lowed the flow
on that one,
he said. It felt
so good to do a
piano-oriented
record with an
upright bass
and drums
with brush-
es. Its just a
quiet melodic
record. And I needed that. I need
to let myself be melodic. There
are some romantic songs on there,
too, which I normally dont let
myself do. It just felt like the right
thing at this time in my career.
Brambletts previous records,
particularly those on the New
West label, took advantage of the
hearty electric band he still fronts
for some festival dates, but they
also contain quieter songs with a
lean and sometimes mysterious
soulfulness that makes for invit-
ing additions to his solo shows.
Among them: the beautifully
despondent Disappearing Ink
from 2001s No More Mr. Lucky
and the hopeful eulogy Where a
Life Goes from 2008s Now Its
Tomorrow.
But the music that most
involves Bramblett are the songs
he has yet to write. Performing in
solo or band contexts is fine. But
his biggest creative impulses come
from the ideas and rhythms that
have yet to find their way into a
composition.
For me, the key to staying
involved and interested is having
new material. Thats the reward.
Otherwise, youre basically just
presenting a show like you would
a play. And the key to new mate-
rial is just a question of paying
attention. There is always plenty
of material out there if you look
for it, so I just pay attention and
try to take the time to show up
to write. Thats the heart of my
musical life.
ENTERTAINmENT
With a band, you just
walk out onstage, play
and then walk back to the
dressing room.

UCLA stomps on Texas BCS championship dreams
ASSOCIATED PRESS
OKLAHOMA CITY The
chances that Texas will return to
the BCS championship game for
a second straight year are greatly
diminished, if not gone, after a
humiliating rout at home.
That doesnt mean the
Longhorns are done in the Big 12.
What better way to shake off a
34-12 loss to UCLA than with a
victory over archrival Oklahoma
just seven days later?
The only big games at Texas,
(former) coach (Darrell) Royal
told me, are the ones that you
lose, coach Mack Brown said
Monday on the Big 12 coaches
call. Weve lost ones before that
got big. Everybody gets mad and
everybody gets angry, and all we
can do is go back to work.
The annual Red River Rivalry
game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas
will be lessened in stature this
year after the Longhorns stun-
ning loss on Saturday highlight-
ed a day of struggles by the Big
12s powerhouses. The Sooners
edged Cincinnati 31-29 and No.
6 Nebraska was unimpressive in
a 17-3 win against South Dakota
State of the Football Championship
Subdivision.
That leaves serious questions
about whether the Big 12 has a
legitimate national title contender
while two other conferences will
have their best teams playing at
center stage Saturday night: No.
1 Alabama hosts No. 7 Florida in
the SEC, and No. 9 Stanford visits
No. 4 Oregon in the Pac-10.
In these parts, it still doesnt get
much bigger than No. 8 Oklahoma
vs. No. 21 Texas. The teams have
combined to win the last six Big
12 championships, escalating ten-
sions between rivals that have
been playing for over a century.
That just made it more intense,
I think, and the fact that weve
been in the national hunt both
of us over the years also inten-
sified it or at least brought it more
attention nationally, Sooners
coach Bob Stoops said. In the
end, being in the same division
has really made it even more
important.
This week, its one of two big
games in the division. Texas
A&M (3-0) will visit Oklahoma
State (3-0) on Thursday night in
the only game featuring two of
the conferences six remaining
undefeated teams. All three of
the Norths unbeaten teams
Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas
State are off this weekend.
The winner of Thursday nights
game emerges as the top chal-
lenger in the South to the Red
River rivalry victor.
Theres no question that you
want to get going in conference
play, and youre playing good
football teams, Oklahoma State
coach Mike Gundy said. You
want to keep momentum going.
Our guys have performed pret-
ty well up to this point, so we
want them to continue on and
keep some momentum as we roll
through conference.
For now, the Cowboys and
Aggies have flown under the
radar, with each team posting two
blowouts and barely scraping by
once. With a national TV audi-
ence looking on, both unranked
teams have a chance to make a
statement in their Big 12 opener.
We look at every week as a
big test and this week certainly
because theyre a team that has
had some good success here as of
late with coach Gundy. Hes done
a great job, A&M coach Mike
Sherman said. Theyre moving
the ball on offense, theyre playing
good defense and they have very
good special teams units.
Itll be a good test for us, no
doubt about it. The kids are anx-
ious to play the game.
Texas already has a leg up on
the rest of the South with its Week
3 win at Texas Tech, but last weeks
loss did nothing but raise con-
cerns.
This isnt my first fan panic,
Brown said. The only thing we
can do to get fans to calm down
is win.
Brown knows that well. After
losing to Oklahoma five straight
times to start the 2000s, the
Longhorns have won four of the
last five and at least have that
momentum on their side in a
series filled with streaks.
When you start losing it, the
fans get on you so hard that it
puts so much pressure on you
as a coach and your kids that its
hard to get it turned back, Brown
said. Thats all you hear because
youve got great respect between
the two universities and the game
is big, and its really important. Its
a midseason game, so its really a
hard game for everybody.
I think that thats probably
whats happened is that one group
feels so much pressure because
their fan base feels that pressure.
Stoops, however, is quick to
point out that the Sooners have
won three of the last four Big
12 championships with two
of them coming in seasons when
Oklahoma lost to Texas in Dallas.
This game matters because its
right now. Then after that, youve
got to win them all to have the
chance to be the Big 12 cham-
pion, he said. This game doesnt
do it.
Sometimes I think the media,
Oh, this is the only game that
counts. Well, if you win this game
and lose a bunch of others, it
doesnt amount to much.

U.S. defeats Canada 87-46 in womens basketball world tournament

pening on the court.

OSTRAVA, Czech Republic
Lindsay Whalen and the rest of
the second unit again sparked the
United States to victory.
Whalen scored 16 points and
Angel McCoughtry added 11 to
lead the U.S. to an 87-46 rout of
Canada on Monday night in the
second round of the womens bas-
ketball world championship. The
Americans face Belarus today.
Were able to come in and ana-
lyze whats going on and see whats
happening on the court, Whalen
said. We can bring energy, inten-
sity, and see whats working and try
to play hard.
For the second straight game
the U.S. got off to a slow start.
Canada jumped to an 11-5 lead,
and coach Geno Auriemma turned
to his bench. The second unit got
four straight turnovers on the way
to a 12-0 run. The U.S. forced 32
turnovers for the game.
I like that second group,
Auriemma said. I thought about
changing the starting lineup today
as those guys are stuck in the mud.
You got some high energy guys like
Lindsay, Angel, Maya, as well. Tina
gave us a great burst at the begin-
ning of the second quarter.
On one play, McCoughtry stole
the ball from Kaela Chapdelaine,
made a move to the basket causing
the Canadian guard to fall, and
then scored an easy hoop.
Janelle Bekkering ended the
spurt with a 3-pointer to make it
17-14. Bekkering was one of three
college players in the game. She
is a fifth-year senior at Gonzaga.
Fellow Canadian Natalie Achonwa
is a freshman at Notre Dame.
Connecticuts Maya Moore is the
Americans lone college player.
Bekkerings basket didnt stem
the tide for long. The U.S. held
Canada without a basket for the
next 7 minutes and went on a
16-3 run to make it 33-17. Charles
had five points during the burst,
including a three-point play on
a drive from the foul line. By the
time the half ended, the U.S. led
47-25.
Bekkering and Kim Smith scored
eight points to lead Canada (1-3).
Despite know-
ing what they
were up against,
the Canadians
didnt seem
in awe of the
Americans.
We knew
were all basket-
ball players in
the end of the
day, Courtnay
Pilypaitis said.
You dont think about whos who
and who youre guarding.
While Sylvia Fowles had another
quiet game scoring just two points,
she did answer any lingering ques-
tions about the health of her left
knee.
The 6-foot-6 center, who had
surgery for torn knee cartilage in
late August, tried a dunk about 10
seconds into the third quarter. She
stole the ball and went the length
of the court. The official, however,
called her for traveling before her
two-handed slam attempt went off
the rim.
Shes healthy
and feels good,
Auriemma said.
Shes not expe-
rienced any
issues or prob-
lems. I think
shes got to get
into the flow of
the game. She
hasnt played
in a long time.
Shes such a presence out there. She
makes our team incredibly differ-
ent with her out there. Hopefully
shell stay healthy and little by little
well get her more involved with
what were doing.
Canada (1-3) couldnt get closer
than 20 in the second half. The
Canadians will play Greece today.
Auriemma wasnt thrilled with
his teams play at times in the sec-
ond half. On one possession the
Americans had a 2-on-1 break and
McCoughtry threw a pass off the
rim. Another play really drew his
ire Charles driving the mid-
dle and trying to shoot over two
Canadians. When the shot missed
the U.S. coach looked at his former
star at UConn and said, Are you
out of your mind?
Despite sharing a border, Canada
and the U.S. dont play each other
very often. They last met in the
2007 FIBA Americas qualifier, with
the U.S. winning by 48 points. The
U.S. had won five of the six meet-
ings, with Canadas lone victory at
the worlds in 1975.
I think we really struggled
with the speed of the Americans,
Canada coach Allison McNeill
said. Every turnover we paid for
it and we had a lot of them. Love
to do it more often. Wed love to
play them all the time so we can
get better.
Canada advanced to the sec-
ond round by beating China in
the opening pool play. After a
12-year absence from the worlds,
the Canadians returned four years
ago to the tournament and placed
10th in Brazil.

CHICAGO Still doubting the
Bears?
Jay Cutler threw for 221 yards,
Brian Urlacher forced a key fum-
ble and Chicago took advantage of
a team-record-tying 17 penalties
by the Packers to beat Green Bay
20-17 on Monday night.
Robbie Gould won it with a
19-yard field goal with 4 seconds
left. The Packers James Jones lost
a fumble on a hit by Urlacher in
the final minutes. Then Morgan
Burnett was called for pass inter-
ference on Earl Bennett, setting up
the winning kick.
Chicago is 3-0 and alone atop
the NFC North. The Packers fell
to 2-1.
Its fun, that is all you can ask
for, Cutler said. The defense did
a great job, we struggled the whole
game, felt like we kind of were kill-
ing ourselves.
The Bears kept insisting they
were contenders through a sloppy
preseason and less-than-inspiring
opening win over Detroit. Since
then, they turned heads with a win
at Dallas last week, and stamped
themselves as contenders by beat-
ing Green Bay with lots of help
from the Packers.
The Bears had tied it at 17 on a
25-yard field goal by Gould when
Urlacher jarred the ball out of
Jones hands after the receiver
caught a pass from Aaron Rodgers
near midfield. Tim Jennings recov-
ered, giving Chicago the ball on
the Packers 46 with 2:18 remain-
ing.
Soon after, another penalty cost
the Packers in a big way.
On second down at the 33, Cutler
tried to hit Bennett deep along the
right sideline and Burnett basi-
cally hammered him, wiping out
an interception by Nick Collins
and putting the ball at the 9.
Three plays later, Chicago
walked away with a wild win and
the only undefeated record in the
NFC.
Devin Hester delivered his first
touchdown return in three years
when he ran back a punt 62 yards
in the fourth quarter, giving the
Bears a short-lived 14-10 lead.
Rodgers threw for 316 yards
and a touchdown and also scored
on a 3-yard run that gave the
Packers a 17-14 lead in the fourth
period. Jermichael Finley had nine
catches for 115 yards, but the slop-
piness simply caught up with the
Packers in the end.
Cutler completed 16 of 27 pass-
es with a touchdown and inter-
ception. Johnny Knox had four
catches for 94 yards.
Chicago held its longtime rival
to 63 yards rushing, but the Bears
had only 77 themselves. That
turned it into an air game for
much of the night.

TORONTO Vernon Wells
hit a three-run homer, John Buck
added a solo shot and the Toronto
Blue Jays pounded A.J. Burnett,
then held on for a 7-5 victory
over the New York Yankees on
Monday.
Toronto assured itself of at
least a .500 finish and temporar-
ily denied the Yankees the chance
to clinch a playoff berth. A
Boston loss later Monday would
also send New York into the post-
season.
Mark Teixeira hit a three-run
homer and Curtis Granderson
added a two-run drive for the
Yankees, who have lost five of
six.
The Blue Jays lead the major
leagues with 243 home runs
this season, one shy of the team
record set in 2000.
Toronto left-hander Marc
Rzepczynski (3-4) allowed two
runs and four hits in five innings
to win back-to-back starts for the
first time this season. He walked
three and matched a career high
with nine strikeouts.
Brian Tallet pitched 1 1-3
innings, Josh Roenicke and Jesse
Carlson each got one out, Scott
Downs worked the eighth and
Kevin Gregg closed it out in the
ninth for his 36th save in 41
chances.
Burnett (10-15), who has lost
seven of his past 11 starts, allowed
seven runs and seven hits in 2 1-3
innings, his second shortest start
of the year. The right-hander,
who walked one and struck out
one, is 0-3 with a 9.61 ERA in
four starts against his former
team this season.
Jose Bautista opened the scor-
ing with an RBI groundout in
the first and Buck doubled the
advantage with a leadoff homer to
left in the second, his 19th, before
the Blue Jays chased Burnett with
a five-run third.
Travis Snider walked to open
the inning and Yunel Escobar was
hit, putting runners at first and
second. Bautista flied out, but
Wells followed with a first-pitch
drive to left for his 31st homer.
Lyle Overbay doubled and
scored on Bucks single to cen-
ter and Burnett was yanked after
Adam Lind singled through the
right side. Jonathan Albaladejo
came on and gave up a sacrifice
fly to Edwin Encarnacion, then
got John McDonald to fly out.
Granderson homered into
the second deck in right off
Rzepczynski in the fifth, his 24th
of the season, and Teixeira chased
Tallet with a one-out blast to
center in the seventh for his 33rd
of the year.

o arms, no legs, but Phillippe Cro-
izon overcomes his limits. So the
quadruple amputee swam across the
English Channel.
Te 42-year-old Frenchman completed the
21-mile swim from Folkestone to Cap Gris
Nez in 13 and a half hours, a mark that would
have been one of the top Channel swims of all
time only a few decades ago. It also shattered
his own 24-hour-swim prediction.
Ive done this for myself, for my family,
and for all those who have sufered tragedy
and lost their taste for life, he said.
Croizons father said that he was blessed
with favorable winds andno Im not making
this upa pod of watchful dolphins, who ap-
parently joined him for some of the swim.
He lost his arms and legs in an electrical
accident as a steelworker, so Croizon swims
his own way. He attaches long fippers to the
stumps of his legs and steering pieces to the
stumps of his arms. He also wears a mask and
a snorkel to breath.
And to think that I used to cramp up dur-
ing swim tests.
CriMinAL or DreAMer?
Julious Treatts (aptly named) either has a
serious problem, or more guts than your aver-
age identity thief.
All the 21-year-old wanted was a little
time to shine... against 13 and 14-year-olds.
Treatts signed up for the Town N Country
Packers of the Tampa Bay Youth Football
League under the pseudonym Chad Jordan.
He also tried to enroll in Webb Middle
School in Hillsborough, Fla., but was re-
jected because of a lack of identifcation.
Te Town N Country Packers caught on
to Treatts game too, and he was eventually
sent to the local county jail. He was booked on
charges of trespassing on school grounds and
obstruction by a disguised person.
Now this kid is clearly a little delusional,
going as far as seeking enrollment in a middle
school. But then theres the other side: the side
of the dreamer.
Whens the last time that youve attended a
little kids sporting event? Have you ever won-
dered what it would be like if you stepped into
that game and had your chance to dominate,
you know, just for a good ole time?
When I used to go to my little brother Troys
baseball games, I couldnt help but think about
this. A 45 mph meatball... crushed! What
about hooping against kids half your size?
Swat! See ya later basketball, the 511 white
Shaq is in the house!
In Treatts case, he just wanted to run over
kids half his size. And it might be wrong
check that, it is wrongbut I cant blame him
for wanting to do it. I can blame him for ac-
tually going through with it, but even 511
white Shaqs can dream.

Beshears honored
for big performance
Sophomore return specialist D.J.
Beshears was named the Big 12
Special Teams
Player of the
Week Monday
morning after
returning a kick-
of 96 yards for
a touchdown
against New
Mexico State.
Beshears,
who now ranks
third in the NCAA in kickof return
average at 37.12, had a career day
against the Aggies on Saturday.
Besides the long kickof return, he
ran the ball eight times for 38 yards
and scored two touchdowns.
He had previously been playing
cornerback, but played at running
back for the frst time Saturday.
The Jayhawks have now had
two players receive honors this
season. Linebacker Justin Springer
was named the Big 12 Defensive
Player of the Week on Sept. 13
after he recorded 15 tackles and a
sack against Georgia Tech.

Andres Galarraga gives up three homers in Detroits loss to Cleveland
ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND Andres
Galarraga went from unhittable
to giving up three homers in an
18-pitch span and the Cleveland
Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 6-3
on Monday night.
The Tigers lost slugger Miguel
Cabrera to an apparent right ankle
injury. He landed awkwardly on the
bag while getting back to first base
on a pickoff attempt in the seventh
inning. Cabrera limped from the
field and was taken for X-rays.
The first baseman and MVP
candidate leads the majors with
126 RBIs, is tied for second in the
AL with 38 homers and is third
with a .328 batting average.
Galarraga (5-8) didnt give up a
hit until Matt LaPorta hit a 412-
foot homer to center leading off
the fifth. One out later, Luke Carlin
homered to right. Travis Hafner hit
a three-run shot with two outs for
a 5-2 lead.
Carlos Carrasco (2-1) got the
win despite allowing 11 hits and
three runs over six innings.
Chris Perez pitched a perfect
ninth for his 22nd save in 26 tries.
He had not worked since Sept. 18
and missed the last three games
when he went home to Tampa, Fla.
for the birth of his first son.
The Indians have won four
straight and snapped Detroits four-
game winning streak. The Tigers
have lost six straight in Cleveland
and were counting on Galarraga to
end that slide.
Galarraga had been nearly
unhittable against Cleveland until
the fifth. On June 2, he lost his bid
for a perfect game with two outs
in the ninth inning on an infield
single by Clevelands Jason Donald.
TV replays showed Donald was out
and that umpire Jim Joyce blew the
call. On Aug. 20, Galarraga struck
out eight over seven innings in a
6-0 win over the Indians.
LaPortas shot was the first run
and only the fifth hit by Cleveland
off Galarraga in 20 innings this
season.
Detroit has won eight of 11, with
all the losses charged to Galarraga.
He has an 11.20 ERA in those
starts.
Jhonny Peralta put Detroit ahead
1-0 in the third with an RBI single.
Austin Jackson hit a leadoff dou-
ble in the inning. With two outs,
the Indians intentionally walked
Cabrera, who had homered in his
previous three games. It was the
32nd intentional pass issued to
Cabrera this season, two short of
the AL record set by Ted Williams
in 1957.

Q
uarterback Jordan
Webb has done an out-
standing job in his first
three games as starter for the
Jayhawks. As far as the Kansas
football team is concerned, there
are few things that are clearer.
He is the future of this team.
After a 42-16 victory against
New Mexico State, who really
knows what to expect heading
into Big 12 play Saturday against
Baylor? Through its first four
games, Kansas has looked great
in two victories and terrible in
two losses. A lot of question
marks remain as to how this
team will play in conference
games, but at least this sum-
mers biggest question has been
answered. Webb has established
himself as the starting quarter-
back for this team.
Hes grown up a lot in the
past couple of weeks, wide
receiver Johnathan Wilson said.
Coach Turner Gill had a tough
decision to make. All summer
he had to choose between a guy
with miniscule experience and
a guy with absolutely no experi-
ence.
Although Kale Pick ended up
winning the starting quarterback
position a couple weeks before
the season started, Gill wasnt
afraid to rotate Webb in either.
Give credit to Gill for acknowl-
edging Webbs talent and not
simply handing the starting job
to Pick, as many people figured
Pick would start anyways.
Through three games as
the starter, Webb has led the
Jayhawks to a 2-1 record. He has
completed 57 of 93 passes for
625 yards and has thrown five
touchdowns to only one inter-
ception.
Perhaps one of the most admi-
rable qualities about Webb is his
competitiveness. He prides him-
self in being the guy that talks a
lot on the sideline, pumping up
his teammates. His passion on
the field is obvious. A video of
Webb laying out senior Georgia
Tech linebacker Anthony
Egbuniwe after a handoff to run-
ning back James Sims has been
making its way around YouTube.
Despite scoring a season high
42 points against New Mexico
State, Webb wasnt completely
satisfied; he wanted more.
It was great. We all knew
what we were capable of, he
said. We came out and executed
well. We left a few points on the
board, which is disappointing,
but overall we played a pretty
good game.
Webbs performance so far
this season is even more impres-
sive when you consider that he
is a freshman quarterback and
has only played in four college
games. Things will get tougher
as the season progresses and the
level of competition increases
but the non-conference numbers
suggest he is right on par with
his counterparts.
Through four games, Webbs
passer rating of 133.33 is better
than three of the Big 12 starting
quarterbacks he will face this
season.

patience is a virtue
BY MATT GALLOWAY
mgalloway@kansan.com
twitter.com/themattgalloway
Frustrated and held without
a meaningful reception in the
seasons first three games, senior
wide receiver Johnathan Wilson
never lost sight of the big pic-
ture.
In Saturdays 42-16 win against
New Mexico State, Wilsons
patience paid off.
Wilson had three catches for
57 yards, including a 35 yard grab
on the Jayhawks first scoring
drive, and finally became a player
in the offensive game plan.
Part of Wilsons increased
involvement can be attributed
to the development of freshman
quar t e r back
Jordan Webb,
who finished
with 249 yards
passing and
a touchdown
against the
Aggies.
Hes grown
up a lot in the
past couple of
weeks, Wilson
said. I have to
be patient with
him because
sometimes I
got frustrated
in the first
couple of weeks. I wanted him to
make more plays for the team but
he just wasnt there. You just have
to keep building him up with
confidence.
At times this season, Wilson
seemed invisible in the Jayhawks
dink-and-dunk, screen first
offense. In the first two games
he totaled only 49 yards on eight
receptions. Continuing to stretch
the field as they did against the
Aggies will be critical to the
teams performance in Big 12
play, Wilson said.
We need some shots down
field to back them up, Wilson
said. Our short passing game is
great, guys can make plays, but
we needed to take some shots
downfield.
Wilson was targeted three
times in the Jayhawks 99-yard
scoring drive late in the third
quarter that gave the team a four
score margin. That drive, in addi-
tion to zero turnovers for the sec-
ond week in a row, shows a devel-
oping cohesiveness on offense,
coach Turner Gill said.
I think that just shows exe-
cution, Gill said of the drive.
Again, they made plays when
they had to.
Cohesiveness is probably the
last word one would have used
to describe the Jayhawks after
their season-opening 6-3 loss to
North Dakota State. This offense
has grown up in the last month,
Wilson said.
Its a different offense, Wilson
said. We just have to be more
consistent. We have our ups and
downs, but I think well compete
in the Big 12.
With senior running back
Angus Quigley and sophomore
quarterback Kale Pick now back-
ing up their freshman contem-
poraries, it is easy to see a sce-
nario where Wilson fades into
the background of the Jayhawk
offense. But the senior from
Houston, Texas is not ready to let
that happen.
Everythings new, Wilson
said. We have to get used to
each other, used to the coaches
and used to the types of things
they do. We just had to feel them
out, and I think were starting to
mesh now.

Jayhawks lead by one

BY ETHAN PADWAY
epadway@kansan.com
The womens golf team is
in first place after two rounds
of play in the Marilynn Smith
Sunflower Invitational. The
Jayhawks lead Nebraska by
one stroke.
The Jayhawks were in fifth
place after shooting 313 in the
first round. They came back in
the afternoon and fired 290 to
move into
first.
I think
first round
we had
s o m e
nerves and
some jit-
ters, Coach
Erin ONeil
said. Whenever you host a
home event you try a little
too hard. I think we were just
nervous and pushing too hard.
By the second 18 that had kind
of worked itself out. They were
more relaxed.
Senior Grace Thiry led the
Jayhawks, firing a one over par
73 in both rounds Monday.
Thiry is tied for second place.
Grace played awesome. She
was very steady. I dont think
she missed too many shots
and made some birdies. She
did a good job of leading us,
ONeil said.
Junior Katy Nugent chipped
in a birdie on hole 18 to shoot
a three under par 69 in her
second round. This lead the
Jayhawk comeback and put
her in a tie
for fourth
place. Nugent
shot the sec-
ond lowest
round ever by
a Jayhawk at
the invitation-
al. According
to kuathlet-
ics.com, the
lowest round
was shot three
years ago in 2007 by Amanda
Costner.
Im pretty sure that is the
lowest collegiate round Katy
has ever had, ONeil said. I
think she just had some birdies
and didnt have any big num-
bers. She just hung in there
and kept making birdies.
Senior Meghna Bal opened
up with an 80 in the first
round, but came back with
a second round 72 to finish
the day in a tie for 13th place.
Freshman Fhong Boonraksasat
fired 81 in the first round and
76 in the second to put her
in a tie for 27th place. Junior
Maria Jackson shot an 81 in
the morning and an 80 in the
afternoon to put her in a tie for
40th place.
I think
if they just
play similar
to this after-
noon we will
be in good
shape. They
are all very
capable of
shooting low
numbers. I
think we just
play our game we will be in
good shape.
