The men of Alpha Phi Al-
pha fraternity want to raise
awareness about the issues
concerning the homeless
through a prolonged camp
out on Wescoe Beach, but a
University rule has left the
project, well, homeless.
In Project Homeless Alpha,
fraternity members will call
Wescoe Beach home begin-
ning today to collect dona-
tions from those who would
like to bring goods to help the
homeless.
They will stay from 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m., but they arent al-
lowed to camp all night.
Its disappointing, more so
because people dont really
take us seriously, said Will
Clayton, Kansas City, Mo.,
senior and president of Alpha
Phi Alpha fraternity.
Rueben Perez, assistant
dean of students and director
of the Student Involvement
and Leadership Center, said
the no camping policy, which
was passed in 1988, prohibits
the men to stay overnight.
He said any request to stay
overnight would have to be
approved by the provost.
It goes back to a safety
factor, Perez said. Weve al-
ways got to be aware of that.
Jeff Dugas, Chicago senior
and project participant, said
the group aimed to stay out-
side when it conduct the proj-
ect next year.
He said they would like to
partner with other greek orga-
nizations that have houses so
the project participants could
camp outside a house.
Staying overnight adds
another level of seriousness
to the program, he said. It
shows we are not just out
there just playing around, we
are serious about it.
To maintain the feel that
the men are homeless, they
will use cardboard for shel-
ter and will not change their
clothes or shower during the
two-day period, Dugas said.

Students will have an op-
portunity to speak with a con-
troversial fgure in state govern-
ment tonight.
The University of Kansas Col-
lege Republicans will host Kan-
sas Attorney General Phill Kline
tonight in the Kansas Union.
Karen Bentley, chairwoman
of the KU College Republicans,
said she wanted students to at-
tend the lecture regardless of
their political beliefs.
I would encourage anybody
to come out and hear him speak
because regard-
less of whether
or not you agree
with him, hes a
very eloquent
speaker and is
well-informed
on the issues
that are preva-
lent in Kansas
politics, Bent-
ley said.
The attorney general has
been active during his term. He
attempted to keep certain CDs
out of public libraries because of
their content and was involved
in the dispute over school fund-
ing that required a special ses-
sion of the legislature during the
summer.
Kline is also well-known for
his anti-abortion stance and
recently fled a lawsuit against
state-fnanced abortions paid
for by Medicaid.
Bentley said she was not sure
what Kline would focus on in
his speech.
Hell probably talk in some
fashion about abortion, Bent-
ley said.
Before his lecture Kline will
be attending the frst meeting of
the Security and Firm Enforce-
ment (SAFE) Task Force, at 5:30
in the Big 12 Room of the Kan-
sas Union.
The task force was created to
enforce sex offender registration
and discuss sentencing options.
There will be another meeting
held in Wichita later this year.
The plan is to get testimony
at this meeting, said Jan Lun-
sford, public information offcer
for the attorney general.

Lake adapts with time
The role of Potter Lake has
changed over the years,
from a source of fire pro-
tection to serving as a pool
for goal posts. Since 1911,
the lake has witnessed
numerous events in the
history of the University.

Under investigation
Kappa Sigma hit
with accusations
By Louis Mora
lmora@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For the second time this se-
mester a University of Kansas fra-
ternity is under investigation.
Mitchell Wilson, Kappa Sigma
executive director, said the frater-
nity was currently under investi-
gation and the men would appear
in front of the national organiza-
tion on Jan. 21, when they would
discuss the situation.
Wilson said the organization
had ceased all social function un-
til its January hearing. He said the
chapter would have the ability to
make its case.
Nicholas Lombardi, president
of Kappa Sigma, said he had no
comment.
Marlesa Roney, vice provost
for Student Success, said she was
contacted about the situation by
the national headquarters pre-
liminary reports yesterday. She
said the headquarters had found
little evidence regarding hazing
but did fnd problems with un-
derage drinking and inappropri-
ate behavior.
Roney said the University had
zero tolerance for hazing and
would not tolerate the problem,
but said it would withhold judge-
ment concerning the fraternity
until the national organization
completed its investigation and
hearing.
We are concerned by the
national Kappa Sigma organi-
zations preliminary report to us
today, Roney said.
She said the report of underage
drinking was a concern because
of the Universitys commitment
to keeping students safe. She said
the University had programs to
educate students about the prob-
lems of underage drinking.
Roney said her offce would
continue to monitor the situation
and would take action when ac-
tion was warranted.
Scott Shorten, Interfrater-
nity Council president, said he
didnt want to jump to con-
clusions by calling the situa-
tion a problem, because the
investigation was still ongoing.
He said at this point the organiza-
tion could be looking to see if the
houses operations were properly
followed.
The investigation on its own
does not necessarily mean a
lot since the accusations are so
unclear at this point, he said.
When we learn more about the
situation we will be able to better
determine the next course of ac-
tion.
Kappa Sigma is the second
fraternity to be involved in an
investigation this semester at the
University and the third in less
than a year. In September the na-
tional organization of Sigma Nu
pulled the fraternitys charter after
an investigation found the men in
violation of hazing policies.
In April, Phi Kappa Theta fra-
ternity had its charter revoked af-
ter hosting an unregistered party.
The Interfraternity Council Board
later expelled the chapter from
campus.

Fast-a-Thon
under way
By aLy BarLand
abarland@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Some members of Ali Maliks
Math 104 class will not be eating,
drinking or using profanity today.
Malik, a graduate teaching
assistant, has asked his class
to participate in the Ramadan
Fast-a-Thon today sponsored
by the Muslim Student Associa-
tion. As an incentive he is offer-
ing 10 extra credit points to each
participant.
The Ramadan Fast-a-Thon is a
nationwide effort by the association
to let people know about hunger
problems and homelessness in the
United States, said Wael Alroumi,
chairman of the event. Participants
must not eat, drink or use profanity
during the day.
Ramadan is a holy month
of fasting during the daylight
hours. This year Ramadan be-
gan Oct. 5 and ended Nov. 5.;
because of planning issues, the
Fast-a-Thon was delayed.
Malik said all but one or two
students in his class were going
to participate.
Kelsey McMahon, Chicago
freshman and one of Maliks stu-
dents, said she was participating
for a number of reasons.
It seems pretty important to
him, McMahon said.
She also said she had never
fasted and wanted to see what it
felt like.
The association set up a table
last week on Wescoe Beach to
hand out information and gather
students pledges to participate.
Bazigha Tusail, chairwoman of
the Fast-a-Thon, said the goal of
Ramadan was for participants to
get a sense of how the homeless
and hungry feel.
The Muslim Student Associa-
tion collects donations from lo-
cal businesses either in lump sum
or on a per-student basis for the
Fast-a-Thon.
The donations it gathers will
be given to the Lawrence Com-
munity Shelter and to victims of
southeast Asia earthquake.
For all participants, dinner
will be provided at 4:30 p.m.
today in the dining area on the
third foor of the Kansas Union.
This is the second year the
University has participated in
the Ramadan Fast-a-Thon.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER
The screens on the wall are lit up, the
computers are running, the VCR is tap-
ing and something has gone wrong.
Scott Winer sits in the middle of it,
a headset on his head, a denim jacket
draped over his chair.
The jacket, with the words NBC
Sports on the back and the 1996 At-
lanta Olympic logo stitched to the
breast, is a symbol of where he wants
to be: directing major sporting events
for network TV. He hopes to someday
be in the middle of the action, at the
Olympics perhaps, controlling the ac-
tion viewers see across the world.
For now, hes in a control room in the
Dole Human Development Center. The
worn jacket he bought on eBay is only
a symbol of his dream, student-run TV
station KUJH-TV his vehicle for getting
there.
At the moment, the KUJH-TV gear,
a far cry from network equipment, isnt
working. Jayhawk Sports Talk, the
live show Winer directs, was supposed
to start at 8 p.m., but the automated ma-
chine that controls show start times is
a few minutes off, and the computer he
uses to control the show froze.
Its a small crisis. The audio engineer
and associate producer sit at opposite
ends of the control panel, watching
Winer. The wall of screens shows the
three hosts on the other side of the wall,
waiting on the set. Everyone awaits
Winers instruction.
Were going to be fne, says Winer,
an Atlanta junior. Were going to do
this show.
The computer reboots and the au-
tomated machine is back on track. At
8:06, he says into his headset, Lets go
ahead and roll.
The cameras roll and Winer works
like his life depends on it, directing the
cameramen through his headset, a lit-
tle tighter on that shot, or a little to the
left, switching between cameras every
few seconds, cuing the 21 graphics he
designed before the show and the music
that goes with them.
It doesnt matter to him that the
shows few regular viewers are probably
packed into Allen Fieldhouse on this
night to watch the Jayhawks kick off
their basketball season.
The idea that you can snap your
fnger and it all changes in front of you,
I like that, he said. You watch this
world come alive.
After the 30-minute show is over, he
brings out a sandwich: time for dinner.
Hes been here since 2:30 p.m., work-
ing on every detail of the show. Winer
said that even though his show wasnt
the last of the evening, hes usually the
last to leave.
Winers serious about the show he
directs on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights. It isnt just something he does.
Its practice for what he wants to do
with his life.
Winer got his frst taste of the sports
directing business at the age of 10, when
his cousin Mark Wolff, who was then a
producer for NBC Sports, brought him
to the control truck after a National
League Championship Series baseball
game.
Since then, hes worked as a runner
for CBS sports, assisting producers and
directors at live TV sporting events, and
got to shadow the man he now calls his
mentor, Bob Fishman, a longtime direc-
tor for CBS Sports. All the while, Winer
took mental notes of the controlled
chaos of directing a live game.
Hes made it a real conscientious
effort to study people in our business,
said Wolff, who now produces for CBS
Sports. Hes an aggressive kid.
Thats where Winer wants to be
someday, in the center of the action.
Until that happens, he needs to wait,
and practice. Thats where KUJH-TV
comes in.
Directing is really what I want to do,
and its something Ive been working on
for years, he said. Im not just in here
pushing buttons.

Under the waters of Potter Lake,
there once lived an old Model-T
Ford, a sewing machine, and, sup-
posedly, a whale.
Though the Model-T and sewing
machine were removed when the
lake was drained in 1958, workers
found no evidence of the legendary
whale that witnesses claimed made
appearances at student events.
At 94 years old, Potter Lake re-
tains little of the vitality it had in the
early twentieth century. Created in
1911 as a source for fre protection
on campus, its surface spanned ap-
proximately two acres and it was
18 feet deep.
Architect and contractor W.W.
Gilmore and KU buildings and
grounds supervisor E.F. Crocker
led the construction that included
a 60-foot dam and pump house.
Improvements in the local water
system in 1924 rendered the mo-
tor-driven pump obsolete.
Although the lake was created
for a useful purpose, it became a
focal point for outdoor recreation
throughout the 1910s and 1920s.
In previous years, a regatta was
held annually at the Kansas River,
but with the lakes completion,
the event moved to the University.
The regatta served as an unoffcial
dedication ceremony for the lake.
Kansas State Senator Thomas M.
Potter, the lakes namesake for
unknown reasons, attended the
event. It featured diving contests,
water games, and swimming and
canoe races.
A center of entertainment, Pot-
ter Lake was also subject to trag-
edy. In the spring of 1911, before
the lakes completion, a group of
civil engineering students stopped
for a swim on its way home from
a party at Marvin Hall. One of the
students, Leonard Ritchey, had a
history of heart problems and was
unable to swim across the lake.
He drowned about halfway out.
According to The University Daily
Kansan, there were at least six
Potter Lake drownings by 1921.
Concern for student safety along
with student health because of the
polluted water, forced the Univer-
sity to ban swimming in the lake in
1927.
Though students could no lon-
ger engage in water activities at
Potter Lake, it still attracted ice
skaters during the winter and golf-
ers at the nine-hole course built be-
fore the lake in 1900. The free golf
course was later transformed into
student barracks and parking lots
after World War II, as enrollment
fgures boomed at the University.
Ice skating was banned at the lake
in the 1970s.
In the 1960s and 1970s Pot-
ter Lake was the scene of protests
and initiation rites for fraternities,
but other events also attracted stu-
dents.
In 1974, 4,000 spectators
watched Dan Wessel, a dare-
devil known as The Great
Wesselini and The Great
Lorenzo, attempt to roll down
a wooden ramp in a Plexiglas
bubble and fy over Potter Lake.
Clad in patriotic swimming
trucks and white tights topped
with a pink cape, Wessel rolled
inside the bubble by standing
on a skateboard. Unfortunately,
the bubble spun out of control
as assistants tried to loosen it
after it was wedged between the
tracks leading to the ramp. The
Great Wesselini was fung to the
ground unharmed.
Although the receding water
shows evidence of Potter Lakes
age, students still frequent the lake
year-round.
Those with a fshing permit can
catch bluegill, catfsh, bass and
goldfsh at the lake, but because
the lake serves as a refuse for the
campus steam heating system, eat-
ing the fsh is not recommended.
Pollution is still a concern at
Potter Lake. In 1999, the Kansas
Department of Health and Envi-
ronment found hazardous algae
growing in the lake and listed it as
one of 120 polluted bodies of wa-
ters in the state.
Swimming is still banned,
but after a big victory at nearby
Memorial Stadium, KU foot-
ball fans can be found paddling
in the water trying not to sink
under the goal posts they car-
ried with them. Students cool
off from the summer heat with
outdoor evening movie show-
ings. Ice skating has been re-
placed with sledding down the
nearby hills. Regattas no longer
draw crowds to the lake, but
people still gather lakeside ev-
ery May to celebrate the end of
the school year with live music
from groups such as Pearl Jam
and Soul Coughing.
Potter Lake may have decreased
in physical size over the years, but
never in popularity within the KU
community.

Police fnd missing girl
By Ashley M. heher
The AssociATed Press
BELLEVILLE, Ind. A man
wanted in a Pennsylvania dou-
ble homicide and apparent ab-
duction of a 14-year-old girl was
captured Monday after a car he
was driving crashed in Indiana
following a police pursuit, State
Police said. The girl was found
unharmed.
State Police 1st Sgt. Dave
Bursten said David Ludwig, 18,
was apprehended about 11:30
a.m. after a car he was driving
crashed about 20 miles west of
Indianapolis.
Bursten said Ludwig was
found with the missing girl,
14-year-old Kara Beth Borden,
a daughter of the slain couple
who was apparently Ludwigs
girlfriend.
Police in Pennsylvania said
Ludwig killed Karas parents,
Michael F. and Cathryn Lee
Borden, early Sunday after
they and their daughter argued
about her curfew. The shoot-
ings happened at the familys
home near Lititz in Warwick
Township, about 60 miles west
of Philadelphia.
Footage from news helicop-
ters in Indiana showed a girl
sitting in a police cruiser and
a young man wearing a gray T-
shirt, handcuffed sitting next to
a red Volkswagen Jetta that had
run head-on into a tree. The site
is some 600 miles from the scene
of the killings.
Authorities in Pennsylvania
had said Ludwig had his par-
ents red Jetta.
Bobby Poteet, 36, a Belleville
resident, said he was out walk-
ing when he saw the red car be-
ing pursued by two state police
cruisers.
They were fying, he said.
Ludwig and Borden were
brought to the State Police post
in Putnamville, where they were
being questioned, 1st Sgt. Steve
Hibler said.
Pennsylvania authorities
spoke with Indiana State Police,
but had little new information,
said Richard F. Garipoli Jr., po-
lice chief of Warwick Township.
They are both OK and we
are working with the Indiana
State Police to get them back
here, Garipoli said.
Police Chief William Seace
said earlier that authorities were
operating on the assumption
that the girl had been kidnapped
and had issued an Amber Alert.
Police in both Pennsylvania
and Indiana had investigated re-
ported sightings of the pair.
Both Ludwig and Kara Bor-
den maintain Web sites. Hers
refers to interests in soccer, art
and her Christian faith; his says
he enjoys having soft air gun
wars and claims expertise in
getting in trouble.

Time calls Sebelius
a top fve governor
TOPEKA Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius has been named
one of the fve best gover-
nors in the nation by Time
magazine.
Sebelius, a Democrat, was
elected in 2002 by winning
the governors race in a state
where Republicans outnum-
ber Democrats almost 2 to 1,
the magazine said Sunday in
a news release.
Through spending cuts,
fee increases and some bor-
rowing, Sebelius was able to
balance Kansas budget in
her frst year in offce with-
out raising taxes or cutting
funding for education, the
magazine said.
Sebelius spokeswoman
Nicole Corcoran said the gov-
ernor thought the designa-
tion was a refection of what
Kansas had to offer.
Governor Sebelius is
humbled and gratified to
have her leadership recog-
nized by a venerable na-
tional publication like Time
magazine, Corcoran said.
Shes especially grateful
for the magazines recogni-
tion of her work to control
state spending, streamline
government and improve
Kansas schools.
Also named in the mag-
azines top-fve governors
in this weeks issue were
Kenny Guinn of Nevada, Mike
Huckabee of Arkansas, Janet
Napolitano of Arizona and
Mark Warner of Virginia.
Times worst governors
were Kathleen Blanco of
Louisiana, Bob Taft of Ohio
and South Carolinas Mark
Sanford.
Time magazine said in
compiling the lists its edi-
tors consulted academics,
political analysts and former
governors.

Congratulations, Betsy
McLeod, you have succeeded
in drumming up your readers
awareness of a series of falla-
cies.
In her Nov. 9 article, Stu-
dents ignorance of current
events will come full circle,
McLeod wrote an article about
students ignorance of current
events. Betsy needs to re-ex-
amine some things she wrote
about.
McLeod wrote Lewis Scoot-
er Libby was indicted for lying
to the American people about
matters of international secu-
rity.
Actually, Libby was indicted
on charges of obstruction of jus-
tice, making a false statement
and perjury, for allegations that
he lied to FBI agents and a grand
jury about how he learned about
and spoke to reporters about a
CIA agent.
Although these are serious
allegations, and federal agents
cannot be worried about White
House staff compromising their
identities, the indictment had
no ties to the information the
White House gave the American
people about the impending war
in Iraq.
McLeod later said, there
never were any weapons of mass
destruction.
There are many claims that
the military did recover weap-
ons of mass destruction.
One claim that cannot be
denied is that the U.S. Depart-
ment of Energy removed 1.77
tons of enriched uranium from
a research facility in Iraq in
June of 2004.
Finally, it is ironic that
McLeod should bring up World
War II and say it was fought to
keep us safe. I could not agree
with her more.
A dictator with strong mili-
tary backing who was sense-
lessly murdering thousands of
people was not something to
let go. Another dictator was re-
sponsible for the murder of hun-
dreds of Kurds during the 1980s,
and McLeod thinks the war in
Iraq to remove him from power
is a joke and a lie.
I will agree that Saddam Hus-
sein never approached the un-
thinkable evil that Hitler did,
but now we can be assured he
never will.
You may still think we
should just sit back and let
the world take its course for
a while and appease everyone
we can, but I must disagree.
Take a look at the recent
events in France.
The French people just re-
ceived a two-week lesson in
handling unruly mobs.
Once a group becomes vio-
lent, it takes more than hope
and candle light vigils to stop
them.
Brian Depperschmidt is a
Wichita freshman.
Lets talk about comedy. Ev-
erybody likes to laugh. My fa-
vorite comedianand I dont
think Im alone hereis Eddie
Izzard.
Izzards stand-up routines
are lled with political satire,
self-referential humor and ri-
diculous scenarios. One of my
favorite Izzard skits involves
a simple choice. He offers au-
dience members a choice be-
tween cake or death. This is a
simple choice, right?
The wit of this situation cen-
ters on its simplicity. No one
would choose to die when he
could instead substitute a piece
of cake. But, as Izzard points
out, even with such an obvi-
ous decision, the average per-
son will falter, and sometimes
change his mind.
Weve all seen this in our
lives. Id bet that many of us
made the wrong pick in what
shouldve been an obvious de-
cision.
How many of us has gone
home with someone when we
drank too much? How many of
us have played Mario Kart all
night instead of studying for a
test? How many of us have gone
to Taco Bell when we should
have gone to the gym? How
many of us voted for Bush?
The fact is that making poor
and/or ill-informed decisions
is part of life. More specically,
its part of the college experi-
ence. Who out there wants to
graduate by playing it safe for
four years?
Now, obviously, I am not ad-
vocating that all students at the
University should throw their
inhibitions to the wind and do
as they please no matter what
the consequences. Thats called
being irresponsible, and its a
dumb thing to do.
So what am I advocating?
Lets go back to Eddie Izzard.
During that same skit, when
presented with the above
choice, he chooses the chicken.
This open willingness to not
fall into the trap of conformity
is what I want to emphasize.
Sadly, much of our society is
based on either-or dichotomies.
We live in a yes-no, right-wrong,
left-right world.
If I described myself as a
right-handed liberal male, you
would instantly be able to clas-
sify the people who are like and
unlike me. But what does this
sort of base classication really
tell you?
In the end, there is no inher-
ent wrong with either-or labels.
When they become the only
way we can see the world, how-
ever, we lose something.
Limiting ourselves to such a
small range of possibilities does
nothing to enhance our lives.
For example, President Bush
has told the rest of the world
that you are either with us or
against us. Look where that
has gotten us.
Ultimately, it comes down to
the way we see the world.
There is nothing fatal about
playing it safe and always pick-
ing the easy route. But, if you
want to truly live life with all
the ups and downs of the hu-
man experience, you cant.
For those of you who an-
swered yes to one of the ques-
tions I posed earlier, bravo.
To the rest of you, the next
time someone asks you if you
want cake or death, choose the
chicken and see what happens.
If you dont, then youll never
know. And theres nothing fun-
ny about that.
Ryan Good is something.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In last Mondays article about
the grafti on the windows of
Stauffer-Flint, the J-Schools
associate dean said, The adult
thing to do is to confront the
situation and not go painting
windows, which is the immature
thing to do. Hes right; writing
on windows with shoe polish is
a childish prank. But he must
not be aware that I and others
responded in mature ways to the
Jayplay story that upset many of
us in the LGBT community.
My roommate, to use the
Kansans preferred terminol-
ogy, wrote a letter to the editor
two days after the incident. He
called and left messages for the
editor in chief, and received no
response. I wrote a media eth-
ics professor, who passed my
comments on to the Jayplay edi-
tor; I also received no response
from the Kansan. After a week
had gone by, we distributed i-
ers around campus to generate
some awareness of the situation,
and still the Kansan was silent.
It wasnt until somebody
wrote on the Kansans windows
with shoe polish that the paper
nally acknowledged the issue.
My partners letter to the editor
was printed more than a week
after he sent it. If it hadnt been
for the shoe polish, would the
Kansan ever have printed his
letter?
I was not involved in the shoe
polish incident, nor am I de-
fending the actions of those who
were, but I believe sometimes a
minority group has to resort to
immature measures when ev-
ery other attempt to confront a
situation is ignored.
Even after all of this, the
Kansan still has not apologized
or made any attempt to correct
its error. The Society of Profes-
sional Journalists Code of Eth-
ics states that journalists should
tell the story of the diversity
and magnitude of the human
experience boldly, even when
it is unpopular to do so. Refer-
ring to committed life partners
as roommates violates this
important principle. I feel that
the Kansans editors should let
us know that they are working
to educate their staff so this sort
of thing does not happen again.
That would be the adult thing to
do.

CRAPTACULAR!
My friend and I decided the stacks at Watson
were really creepy, but then we went outside
and she hit a squirrel with a nut so that made
everything better.

Kiki, Im so glad were hetero life mates.

I wasnt aware there was a monster truck rally in

Lawrence! Oh wait, theres not. You just have a
huge truck because your penis is tiny.

Ryan Colaianni likes to watch Sex and the

City in his boxers wearing gloves.

I likes them riblets. Mmm. Riblets.

Game day can kiss my ass. I paid for my tuition and

my parking permit. Ill park where I want.

Damn, Matt Kleinman looks like the

Wendys girl with that red hair.

Underwear parties are the new toga parties.

In response to the R.A. article printed, the

R.A. job is a lot harder than what they put in the
paper. Also, three programs a semester? Try
doing three per a month!

To the KU parking department: I already paid $150

for a parking permit. Why do I have to pay ten more
dollars for a lot thats supposed to be free after
four? Im so mad right now!

Wow, Betsy McLeod, for you not being

interested in something or not caring about it,
you sure have a strong opinion.

I hate the parking department here.

John Kerry lost the election.

Take the bumper sticker off your car.

Ive been watching the game for a whole minute

and please get Vinson out of there.

That guy screaming like a total woman in the front

row of the Ft. Hays State game needs to cut it out.

Yeah, Im in the pep band and I just want to

say, Lew Perkins, you suck because you
make us sit out.

To the guy in the front row, you scream like a girl

and youre an embarrassment to our school.

I heard last night on KJHK that they were

discussing the Kansan article about
homophobia, and boy did those callers make a
good case against you guys!

Sweatpants tucked inside furry boots

are worse than popped collars.

I said be careful. His bow tie is really a camera.

So, when the door says, No smoking within

20 feet, they mean 20 feet. Not two.

Free for All, youre crazy man, youre crazy.

I like you, but youre crazy.

The girl who said she would sleep with anyone

for a piece of cheesecake is probably fat, and
no one wants to sleep with her.

I love the new Allen Fieldhouse,

but I miss the dancing nachos.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2005: You need to
know when not to get involved this
year, as others are often capricious
and, at times, difficult. You might
appreciate that they are express-
ing themselves, but perhaps not
in a way you would like. Just keep
communication flowing, thinking
often how it would be if you were
in their position. Your positive and
understanding attitude will draw
many opportunities to you. The
unexpected can happen when tak-
ing risks, so dont take any action
that could cause you a problem. If
you are single, romance might be
like a whirlwind. In the midst of all
this action, Mr. or Miss Right could
show up. If you are attached, let
your sweetie play out some of his or
her weird ideas. Why not? TAURUS
needs to be listened to.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH Though there is a Full Moon
and lots of questioning and attitude,
dont worry. Dont make any money
agreements, although you will fnd
supporters of a plan. Or something you
want suddenly happens. Tonight: Just
dont spend any money.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHH The Full Moon emphasizes
your charisma and well-being. Others
fnd you to be testy. Maybe its time to
release your feelings and talk about
them. Someone you care about might
try to explain his or her ideas. Tonight:
Think family.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH Take your time making decisions.
You might be getting many different
points of view. The best response is no
response. Listen, or fnd someone you
respect. A work situation could change.
Tonight: Vanish home.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You will feel this Full Moon.
Friends, goals and love all play roles in
your thoughts. You might want to con-
sider going back to school or following
an unusual path. The word no isnt
a possibility for you this year. Tonight:
Love the moment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH The Full Moon adds tension left
and right. You might want to bail out
and do something just for yourself. A
partner or someone you deal with f-
nancially or emotionally could surprise
you. He or she is changing. Tonight: Not
to be found.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You might want to see the big
picture, and you might be able to see
the right one. You might not want to get
into details with others. Just listen and
consume information. Laughter from
friends helps you relax. Tonight: Go
with the unexpected.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Financial questions surge to the
forefront. For sure, someone has a dif-
ferent view or perspective from yours.
Listen, but dont make any agreements.
Work through stress through exercise
or some other activity. Tonight: Refuse
to get into a disagreement.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Others see matters very differ-
ently from how you do. Is this new?
Absolutely not. Learn to work with
other people. Your imagination could
cook up some wild ideas. An old love
relationship could appear in the near
future. Tonight: Do what you want.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HH Todays Full Moon might have you
wanting to hide away, as others seem
so crazy. If you can, vanish -- you will be
much, much happier. Everyone appears
on his or her high horse. Dont play into
it. Tonight: Find a favorite quiet spot.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH You cannot win for losing. You
see both sides of the coin, but only one
will lead to great success. A problem
with a child or loved one needs to be
discussed -- maybe not today, but soon.
The unexpected plays a role. Tonight:
Follow your friends.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HH Stay out of arguments and disagree-
ments. Protect a monetary investment.
Count your change with care. Problems
with money could occur way too easily.
There are so many demands that you
wish you could clone yourself. Tonight:
Do your classic disappearing act.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHH You could be one of the many
sources of surprises in todays Full
Moon. You might need to deal with so
much and so many contrary requests
that you could toss your hands in
the air. Tonight: Laugh and dont get
uptight.

thing that happened this year.
It wasnt the highlight of
my year. Theres so many other
things I was so excited about,
she said in a recent interview.
Tops on her list was attend-
ing a 1980s-themed prom.
Seriously, it was the best
time of my life, she said. I
had lace gloves. I was so 80s
it was ridiculous; I was dis-
gusted with myself.

Sophomore center CJ Giles attempts to dunk the ball over Pittsburg States
Marcus Madison Monday night in Allen Fieldhouse. Giles ended the night
with 24 points, 7 rebounds and made 8 out of 10 for feld goal attempts. The
Jayhawks defeated the Gorillas 73-47.
By Ryan Colaianni
rcolaianni@kansan.com
KANSAN STAFF WRITER
Just think how many points
CJ Giles will score when he
gets more than 16 minutes of
playing time.
Because of foul trouble,
the sophomore center played
limited time but racked up 24
points Monday night.
The point total showed that
Giles listened to Kansas mens
basketball coach Bill Self
when he asked the 6-foot-11
center to be more offensive-
minded this season.
Self said that the teams
guards should have gone to
Giles more because of his
success.
He gets 24 in 16 minutes
and we still didnt go to our
big guys near enough, Self
said.
Giles believes that his
quickness is going to help him
later in the season because he
doesnt always play low and
showcases a perimeter game.
Giles said that he was con-
fident in shouldering a large
offensive load this season.
I think something like 14
points and 11 rebounds would
be very possible, Giles said.
Im going to do as much as
I can. If its not scoring, Im
going to get rebounds and do
whatever it takes for us to
win.
Giles scored his points in
bunches because of his limit-
ed action, including 8 points
in less than 2 minutes in the
second half.
Senior guard Jeff Hawkins
said before the game that
Giles was really focused.
Giles was able to use his
shooting range and drew fouls
underneath the basket to fuel
his game-high point total.
Giles was 8 for 10 from the
field and 8 for 10 from the
free-throw line.
Giles picked up his first two
fouls in quick succession 5
minutes before the end of the
first half and his third foul at
the beginning of the second.
Thats really going to show
a defense that they have to
come out and guard me out
there as well as in the post,
Giles said.
Giles said he was trying
to emulate the intensity and
confidence that fellow soph-
omore forward Darnell Jack-
son brought to practice every
day.
Giles also helped on the
defensive front by blocking
three shots on the night and
grabbing seven rebounds.
Giles wowed the crowd with
thunderous dunks throughout
the evening.
I like all my dunks, Giles
said. I guess I was just trying
to go up and do what I do.

team had a laundry list of things to
work on before Friday and its frst
real test against Arizona next Mon-
day in the Maui Invitational.
We only have two more prac-
tices basically before we play our
frst four games of the season, and
we have a lot to get in and work on
so we better have a focused group,
Self said. I hope our mindset is
much hungrier than what it was
tonight, but I hope they will be ex-
cited to play, there is no reason they
shouldnt be.
Notes:
The two teams were called for a
combined seven palming calls last
night. The Jayhawks were respon-
sible for only two of them, but Self
said trying to get players to stop car-
rying the ball when they dribbled
was going to be the emphasis early
in the season.
Darnell Jackson was cleared to
play by the NCAA at about 3 p.m.
Monday, Self said. The eligibil-
ity issue, however, is not fully re-
solved.
We were told he could play today,
Self said. We hope to put it to clo-
sure in the next 48 hours or so, but
we have to get word back on the
fnal verdict on the issue is.
The Missouri Tigers lost their
season opener to Division II Sam
Houston State 80-77.

AP TOP 25 POLL
Division
continued from page 10a
Curveys touchdown came
with 1:31 remaining in the
fourth quarter, and put the game
out of reach and secured a victo-
ry for the Cyclones. Curvey was
named Big 12 Defensive Player
of the Week because of his all-
around solid game and his inter-
ception return.
Im very proud of our win
over an excellent Colorado
team, Iowa State football
coach Dan McCarney said. It
was a hard, tough game and
there was a lot on the line for
both teams. We know there is
still a lot we need to work on
before we play Kansas in 12
days.
Iowa States triumph over
Colorado wasnt the biggest
upset in the conference this
weekend. Oklahoma State
scored its first conference
victory of the season this past
weekend when it defeated
then No. 13 Texas Tech 24-17
at home.
Freshman running back
Mike Hamilton paced the
Cowboys. Hamilton had
161 yards on 23 carries and
an 83-yard touchdown run.
Hamilton was named Big 12
Offensive Player of the Week
Monday morning.
Oklahoma State football
coach Mike Gundy said ex-
pectations had been high this
year for Hamilton because of
the past success of Oklahoma
State running backs and it
had made things harder on
Hamilton.
Mike has had to take some
criticism from the fans here
this year, Gundy said. We
were also a little hard on him.
But he continues to work
hard and he had a nice game
against Tech.
Oklahoma State will try to
secure its second conference
victory this weekend when it
travels to Waco, Texas to play
Baylor. If the Cowboys defeat
the Bears, their season finale
against the Oklahoma Soon-
ers will be the opportunity to
receive a bowl bid.
That will be no easy task
though. Oklahoma improved
to 5-1 in conference play with
its 36-30 victory over Texas
A&M. Oklahoma travels to
Texas Tech next weekend,
where the winner will most
likely go to the Cotton Bowl
and the loser to the Alamo
Bowl.

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRITER
Kansas mens basketball coach
Bill Self was nonchalant about
the play of his Jayhawks after last
nights 73-47 victory over Pittsburg
State.
Sure, there were some plays to
add to the highlight reel, but over-
all, Self was not all that pleased
with the performance of the Jay-
hawks.
I thought we did some good
things, Self said. But we didnt
execute, we didnt come out as
ready to play as we did last game.
The Kansas post players, led
by sophomore CJ Giles, were the
biggest positive for the Jayhawks.
Giles led all scorers with 24 points,
but the Kansas big men Giles,
Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson and
Julian Wright combined for 48
of the Jayhawks 73 points.
Their dominance could be par-
tially attributed to the signifcant
height advantage they had over the
Division II Gorillas. Height advan-
tage or not, the Jayhawks domi-
nated inside with Giles offensive
production and blocks on defense
along with Jacksons ability to plow
his way to the basket when he got
the ball in the paint.
To go along with his points,
Giles had 3 blocks and 7 rebounds.
On two different possessions, Giles
swatted the ball out of the hands
of the Pittsburg State players while
they were going to the basket. The
block that pleased the Kansas fans
most came with 5 minutes left in
the frst half when Jeremy Richard-
son beat his defender only to meet
Giles in the paint and have his shot
whacked out of bounds by Giles.
Jackson, who did not play,
Wednesday in the Jayhawks frst
exhibition game against Fort Hays
State because of an eligibility is-
sue, scored 8 points and pulled
down 7 rebounds. Kaun contrib-
uted 7 points, and Wright was the
second-leading scorer on the team
with 9 points.
Darnell has been as good as
anybody in the last three or four
weeks, Self said.
Self said he didnt think the
guards pushed the ball up the court
quick enough and failed to get the
team into an offensive rhythm.
The big guys could have been
better if the guards would have
done a better job of moving the ball
and getting the ball to them, Self
said. I want guys to be aggressive
and I want to get it in the paint and
let guys play when they get it in the
paint, but I didnt think our perim-
eter did a good job of creating pace
or feeding off their enthusiasm.
The 51 combined fouls in the
game might have had an impact
on the Jayhawks inability to fnd
a rhythm, but Self said the lack of
rhythm had more to do with his
teams failure to pressure Pittsburg
States offense. He said the guards
were supposed to apply full-court
pressure to the Gorillas, but they
did not do a good job of it.
Our defense isnt good, Self
said. We have got to improve
because that way it doesnt put
pressure on our offense to score.
This team is going to go through
scoring droughts, but we just
have to make sure that the other
team doesnt score.
The Kansas freshmen, who
were led by Brandon Rush last
week, had a couple other new-
comers provide some big plays
for the Jayhawks. Mario Chalmers
connected with Wright for several
jaw-droppers. The most impressive
play came in the middle of the frst
half when Chalmers stripped the
ball on defense, drove the length
of the court and tossed a behind-
the-back pass to Wright on the
other end. Wright, who fumbled
the ball at frst, handled the pass
and scored.
That was a good play, Self
said. Julian has got to catch it, but
I thought that was a good play.
The Jayhawks will play their
frst regular season game on Friday
against Idaho State. Self said his

North division
still up in the air

Texas may have the Big 12
South locked up, but the North
is still in contention.
Iowa State scored its second
victory against a ranked oppo-
nent on Saturday when it de-
feated Colorado 30-16 and kept
its hopes for a Big 12 North
championship alive.
With the loss, Colorado still
controls its own destiny, and can
secure the North division crown
with a victory in two weeks
against Nebraska. If the Buffa-
loes slip up and lose to the Corn-
huskers though, Iowa State and
Missouri will be back in conten-
tion for the championship.
If Missouri wins this weekend
at Kansas State, it will have to
wait about a week to see the re-
sults of the Colorado-Nebraska
game and the Iowa State-Kansas
contest. If Missouri and Iowa
State win and Colorado loses,
there will be a three-way tie for
frst place in the North.
There are so many different sce-
narios that the North divisions rep-
resentative in the Big 12 Champi-
onship game wont be determined
until the last game is played.
If Iowa State defeats Kansas,
it will be its ffth victory in a row
after losing its frst three confer-
ence games.
Against Colorado, Iowa State
was led by its defense. The unit
scored a pair of 66-yard touch-
downs. The frst came in the
third quarter when senior defen-
sive back Steve Paris returned
a fumble for a touchdown.
The second came in the fourth
quarter when junior defensive
lineman Brent Curvey had an
interception return for a touch-
down.

Hawks earn championship bid

For the frst time in 11 years,
the Kansas mens cross country
team is going to the NCAA Na-
tional Championships.
Even though the No. 12 Jay-
hawks fnished third in the Mid-
west Regional race Saturday, the
NCAA men and womens cross
country committee decided that
the team deserved to receive one
of 13 at-large bids to the cham-
pionships.
Last season, Kansas placed
one runner, then junior Benson
Chesang, in the National Cham-
pionships as a solo runner. He
fnished seventh
overall with a
time of 30:59.
In a histori-
cal context its
a big deal be-
cause no team
here has made
it in 10 years.
It shows how
far the program
has come sophomore Paul Hef-
feron said.
The top two bids for each
of the nine regional races this
weekend were given an auto-
matic bid to Nationals for a total
of 18 teams.
An additional 13 at-large
bids were given, for a total of
31 teams. In addition to the
31 teams that qualify, 38 indi-
viduals whose teams did not
qualify also will be racing on
Monday.
At-large bids are determined
on a points system. A school is
awarded one point for every au-
tomatic qualifer team it places
ahead of in meets, during the
season.
At the beginning of the year
it was a goal, and as far as ex-
pecting it, we have always ex-
pected it, and I am glad the goal
has been achieved, said Kansas
cross country coach Stanley
Redwine. The most important
thing now is how we do in the
NCAAs, we have to go in with
the mind frame that this is
something we are not here just
to be here, we are here for a pur-
pose.
Redwine also said he wanted
the team to run as well as it
possibly could run, and place
as high as they possiblly could
place in Nationals.
Four mens teams from the
Big 12, including Kansas, were
chosen to participate in the
Nationals. Those teams are
Colorado, Oklahoma State and
Texas.
The championships will be
held in Terre Haute, Ind., on
Monday.

Kansas should forget about Texas game
With one pass and catch, Texas
once again confrmed on Saturday
that the Big 12 looks tiny when
viewed through a burnt-orange fl-
ter.
That pass was a 64-yard touch-
down strike from junior quarter-
back Vince Young to freshman
wide receiver Quan Cosby just 6
minutes into the frst quarter.
The drive started with promise,
as Kansas defensive end Charlton
Keith shut down a Texas option
play for a fve-yard loss. After a frst
down, Texas was fagged for hold-
ing, giving the Kansas defense a
chance to make its third stop of the
quarter.
Cosby was sent on a deep route
against Kansas safety Rodney
Fowler. The pass was a foater,
thrown so that both players could
get under the ball and the better
athlete would catch it.
Fowler stayed with the ball
and timed his jump well, but was
outplayed by Cosby, who made
the catch. Coming down, Fowler
wrapped up Cosby to make the
tackle, but Cosby just shook him
off and jogged into the endzone for
six points.
If the Longhorns were playing
video-game football, theyd have
the diffculty level set to easy.
The Jayhawks dont have to beat
themselves up over this loss; its
what Texas has done to every Big
12 school it has played this year.
The 14 points the Kansas offense
mustered ranks between Oklaho-
mas 12 and Texas Techs 17. And
those two schools arent used to
being used as a punching bag.
Right now, the best option the
Jayhawks have is to tune out that
game like so many television view-
ers did.
If Kansas players enter practice
this week thinking they have a lot
of adjustments to make, they will
ruin the progress they made in
victories against Missouri and Ne-
braska.
With one game to play, Kansas
must put its focus where it belongs:
on beating Iowa State and qualify-
ing for a bowl.
The Jayhawks have a lot going
for them right now.
On offense, Clark Green and
Jon Cornish each tallied more than
50 yards rushing, despite an air-
tight Longhorn defense and an of-
fensive plan that called for almost
twice as many passes as runs.
Senior quarterback Jason Swan-
son managed to get sacked only
twice. His quick-release throw is
the perfect answer to blitzes, and
it makes him a popular man with
Kansas offensive linemen.
Perhaps most important, the
Jayhawks will have home-feld ad-
vantage for their last game. Big 12
North teams are 28-8 this season
when playing at home. In a confer-
ence in which the teams are evenly
matched, little factors such as stay-
ing at home make a huge difference
in the outcome of games.
Beating Iowa State would be a
huge victory for the team. It would
give the offense the ability to prac-
tice for an extra month as well as
provide a national stage for a de-
serving Jayhawk defense.
Kansas football coach Mark
Mangino should show his team
tapes from the Nebraska and Mis-
souri games, because that is the
team that must show up in two
weeks for Kansas to beat Iowa
State.
That all begins with forgetting
about what happened in Austin.
The Texas trains steamrolling of
Kansas was inevitable, but now
Kansas must get right back on
track in time for its biggest game of
the year.
