TOPEKA Universities in the
state of Kansas need money for
deferred maintenance.
A lot of money.
At least, thats what the Board of
Regents will be arguing to the State
Legislature this year.
The Kansas Board of Regents on
Thursday made public a report of state
university deferred maintenance. The
report was originally conducted in Fall
2004 and updated this past summer.
The update revealed a backlog of $727
million and a total ongoing mainte-
nance bill of $84 million annually to
repair 567 state university buildings.
The University of Kansas alone
needs $209 million to repair dam-
age to buildings on the Lawrence
campus. The University of Kansas
Medical Center needs more than $75
million for repairs.
Two out of three state-owned
buildings are on university campuses.
Of those buildings, 80 percent are at
least 20 years old, out of date and in
need of maintenance.
Regents members and university
presidents all agreed that this was
a serious issue that needed to be
dealt with. Regent Donna Shank said
the regents needed to do everything
they could to ensure the backlog was
reduced.
Weve got to do something about
this, Shank said. Somehow, we have
to step forward, the legislature needs to
step forward and the governor needs
to step forward to take care of this.
The state of Kansas allocated $15
million to address deferred mainte-
nance for the six state universities
in 2007.
Regents President and CEO
Reggie Robinson, who presented the
report, said it was important to deal
with the deferred maintenance to
meet the needs of the 90,000 stu-
dents at Kansas universities prepar-
ing to enter the job market.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said
the maintenance of campus buildings
was important in recruiting faculty
to the University because they paid
attention to the state of the buildings
theyd be teaching in. Hememway
added that it was constructive in a
way that the microburst last March
caused so much damage and caught
the publics attention.
We had to have a natural disaster
for people to realize there was a need
that needed to be addressed, he said.
People responded well. Id like to
see the same urgency for deferred
maintenance.
The Board of Regents will work
closely with Governor Kathleen
Sebelius to encourage her to make a
down payment on deferred mainte-
nance for the states budget in 2008,
said Kip Peterson, director of govern-
ment relations and communications
for the Regents. The Kansas legislature
will then decide if more funding will be
allotted to state universities when the
legislative sessions begin in January.
Any additional or new funding
on this is a step in the right direc-
tion, Peterson said. The reality is
the longer its ignored, the more
expensive it will be.

When it comes to football, the
Sunflower State is certainly shaded
a deep purple.
Until 2004, 11 straight Kansas
State victories made sure of that.
But the Jayhawks victory two
years ago seemed to revive a once-
dormant rivalry. While it didnt
exactly color the state crimson and
blue, it at least showed that Kansas
was capable of supporting two good
football teams.
Now, football fans across the
state have finally gotten what they
wanted a game that actually
means something.
Winning seasons. Bowl bids.
Bragging rights. Those and a whole
lot of talk have led up to one of the
most important meetings between
the Jayhawks and Wildcats in quite
a long time.
Its not just a game at the end
of the season were just playing to
play, Kansas football coach Mark
Mangino said.
The talk comes to an end 2:30
p.m. Saturday, when the teams take
the field at a sold-out Memorial
Stadium. The game will also be
televised on FSN.
Kansas season seemingly rides
on the outcome. A victory and
the Jayhawks are bowl eligible for
the second straight season, with a
chance for a winning season. A loss
and Kansas bowl chances are all but
gone. Another holiday season spent
at home.
Its not as if Mangino had to
remind his team of the opponent
this week. Using one day during last
weeks bye-week to begin prepara-
tions for the game got the message
across.
I think the kids are well aware
that we are playing our in-state
rival, Mangino said. We dont
make a big deal about that. Our
emphasis is on winning and getting
better.
The Jayhawks have improved in
their last two games, both victo-
ries.
A healthy quarterback and
defense that seems to have learned
from its mistakes early in the sea-
son have contributed to the teams
recent success.
But when it comes to rivalry
games, you can throw out any talk of
streaks or recent success. Anything
can happen.
People like to say that it is just
another game, but it isnt, junior
fullback and Lawrence native
Brandon McAnderson said. You
have that feeling of getting to go
against your in-state rival and it is
going to be fun.
The game has deeper, more
personal connections than just the
intra-state rivalry.
Mangino served as an assistant
coach at K-State in the early 1990s
under Bill Snyder. Kansas State
coach Ron Prince grew up in the
shadow of Manhattan, attending
high school in Junction City. But
the first-year coach has brought
the Wildcats back to the nation-
al spotlight with their victory
against No. 4 Texas last weekend in
Manhattan.
That victory shines an even big-
ger spotlight on game that Prince, a
lifelong Wildcat fan, has been wait-
ing to coach in.
This is a game that has been
marked on our schedule all year
long, Prince said. It doesnt take a
whole lot to know if youre from
this area or on this team the kind
of significance that is going to be
paid to the game.

Colleagues know him as a prolific
writer and a staple of the KU politi-
cal science department. Reporters
and politicians know him as a sharp
political analyst who often utters the
perfect quote on deadline.
However people may know him,
Burdett Loomis, professor of politi-
cal science, knows politics.
As a graduate student at the
University of Wisconsin, Loomis
was used to local police regularly
shooting tear gas at him and his fel-
low students during anti-war protest
marches during the Vietnam War.
Loomis, who joined the political
science faculty at the University in
1979, recalled walking to a library to
study when the police tried to dis-
rupt a student protest with tear gas.
The haze floated across his path, and
Loomis thought it was ironic that he
got tear-gassed even while simply
walking across campus.
Political drama, conventional wis-
dom and the day-to-day life of legis-
lators Loomis devours it from the
moment he wakes up many morn-
ings reading The New York Times
to ending the night watching the
evening news.
Readers of local newspapers,
including The University Daily
Kansan, the Lawrence Journal-
World and The Kansas City Star,
know Loomis as a regular prognos-
ticator for political columns and
articles.
Hes also weighed in on national
politics in the New York Times, USA
Today and for a time as a commenta-
tor for National Public Radio.
Loomis office in Blake Hall has
a magnificent view facing south-
ern Lawrence. He forgoes the typi-
cal modern furniture in favor of
Victorian chairs (including one that
used to be his mothers) and sofas.
Students said they came out of his
classes always learning something
new, and he is routinely cited as a
top instructor by political science
majors.
Brandon Bohning, Olathe senior,
respected Loomis constant outpour-
ing of new writing and his ability to
see through horse-race politics into
the day-to-day workings of legisla-
tors.

Beauty queen abdicates
title, leaves for Iraq
MINNEAPOLIS Jessica Gaulke
is trading in her sash as a Minneso-
ta beauty queen for Army fatigues
and Iraq.
Gaulke, who was chosen Min-
neapolis Aquatennial Queen of the
Lakes in July, is giving up her title
because her National Guard unit
has been activated for duty. The
22-year-old Augsburg College stu-
dent will be going to the Mideast
as a diesel generator mechanic.
It really wasnt a decision that
was mine to be made, said Gaulke.
My units going. Ive accepted it.
Its part of the whole scope of why I
joined; Ill be there for all of us over
here.
Gaulke said being Queen of the
Lakes, Minnesotas best-known
festival royalty, is a huge honor,
but she said she is simply honoring
the agreement she made when she
committed to the Guard before her
senior year in high school.
Were proud of her for making
this choice and what shell do for
the country, Aquatennial President
Jim Erickson said.

Abby Pierrons job is to catalog
and tag the 302,000 specimen of
reptiles and amphibians that make
up The University of Kansas col-
lection.
This job is preparing Pierron,
Olathe museum studies graduate
student and curatorial assistant, for
a career in the museum field.
Pierron is one of 32 students
who make up the museum studies
program, which has graduated 146
students since it started in 1981.
The program has an almost 80 per-
cent job placement rate in the field,
said John Simmons, director of the
museum studies program.
The program is structured around
six core classes where students learn
about everything from collection
management to administrative roles.
Eighteen hours are also required
from one of the following areas:
American studies, biology, geology,
anthropology or history, Simmons
said.
Although Pierron is not a trained
biologist, her work with the fourth
largest collection in the U.S. is more
about learning how to catalog and
manage large museum collections.
Im here for the skills, Pierron
said.
This year the program had 60
applicants and only took six. The
number accepted into the program
varies each year, but is usually from
eight to 10 students, Simmons said.
The number of people that want
to get into the program has gone way
up, he said.
Teresa MacDonald, instructor for
the museum studies program, teach-
es Introduction to Museum Public
Education, one of the core courses.
This weekend her class is having
a free public event on Jell-O put
together by the class so they could
gain hands on experience, she said.
I do it because Im passionate
about what I do, and I really believe
its important to pass along the skills
and experience to future museum
workers, MacDonald said about
teaching.
Its that passion that Simmons
said was important because the pay
in the profession didnt always reflect
the amount of work.
Museum jobs in general pay very
low compared to other jobs with
equivalent training, but the worker
satisfaction is very high, he said.
Pierron said she was happy with
the program because it was teach-
ing her about every aspect of how a
museum runs and that despite the
possible low pay, it was more impor-
tant to have a job you enjoyed.

MtvU is leading a campaign to
prevent student suicide and fight the
stigma of emotional illnesses among
the nations college campuses.
MtvU, MTVs college television
channel, joined last week with the
Jed Foundation, a nonprofit group
committed to reducing young adult
suicides, to create a campaign called
Half of Us. A national study con-
ducted by mtvU found that almost
half of college students have felt so
depressed that they could not func-
tion.
The campaign is similar to
the Universitys Counseling and
Psychological Services, which gives
local and professional assistance
to KU students showing or expe-
riencing psychological problems.
CAPS offers treatments to students
in both individual and group set-
tings. Depending on the severity of
the situation, CAPS will either treat
students internally or refer them for
more comprehensive services.
Diana Robertson, interim director
of student housing, didnt recall a sui-
cide in her approximately seven years
with the University, but she said the
housing department did have a sui-
cide-indication policy. Indications of
suicide include roommates or friends
noticing written or verbal evidence,
such as notes or a diary.
The mtvU campaign will build
from the success of the networks
Sudan campaign for college students
to help end the genocide in Darfur.
It seemed clear that while we
continued with our Sudan campaign
that there was an issue much closer
to home, said Stephen Friedman,
general manager of mtvU. Theres
a driving and yearning need for dis-
cussion.
The survey found that suicide is
the second leading cause of death
nationwide for college students, and
seniors are nearly three times more
likely to have considered suicide
than freshmen. The study also found
that college students were reluctant
to speak about suicide.
A big part of this issue is the
stigma, Friedman said. And when
you realize its prevalence, you realize
that stigma kills.
Of those surveyed, nearly half
said theyd refer a friend to get treat-
ment for emotional issues, but less
than a quarter of these same people
would receive the help themselves.
The mtvU campaign aims to con-
nect students together and with pro-
fessionals to receive local treatment.
Students can also sign up at their
universities listed under each state.
As of now, the campaign lists several
universities under Kansas, such as
Kansas State University, but does
not include the University. Students
can still interact with others and
get professional help outside their
university.
The campaigns Web site allows
both student interaction and a con-
fidential Self e-Valuator online
mental health assessment created
by Ranga K. Krishnan, chairman
of the department of psychiatry for
the Duke University Medical Center.
Theres doctors at a number of
universities that are advising every
step along the way, Friedman said.
Were not the experts, so for us its
raising awareness and driving them
to the experts.
Unlike other nationwide college
campuses, Robertson said suicidal
indications or attempts did not result
in an automatic cancelation of a
housing contract or expulsion from
the University.
Both the networks channel and
Web site are covering a portion of
the screen with a gray haze, symbolic
of the large percentage of college
students suffering from emotional
illnesses.
Were just trying to make that
point that if half of us go through it,
all of us are affected by it. Friedman
said.
The campaign can be reached
through the networks channel or at
halfofus.com.

Study fndings
Suicide is the second leading
cause of death among college
students.
Of the 15.2 million college
students in the US, an estimated
1,100 die by suicide each year.
One in 10 college students seri-
ously considers suicide.
Among adults, 18- to 24-year-
olds think about suicide more
often than any other age group.
More teenagers and young
adults die from suicide than from
all medical illnesses combined.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia
African, Arab, European and
U.N. leaders agreed in principle
Thursday to a joint African Union-
United Nations peacekeeping force
for Sudans Darfur region.
The force could be as large
as 27,000, including the existing
7,000-member AU peacekeeping
force in Darfur, but the leaders did
not lay out a timetable for the force
to begin work partly because Sudan
had some reservations.
Sudan did not give the plan its
unreserved approval because offi-
cials at Thursdays meeting needed
to consult with their superiors, the
countrys U.N. ambassador, Abdul
Mahmoud Abdelhaleem, said.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi
Annan said the additional person-
nel could include as many as 17,000
soldiers and 3,000 police officers.
A timetable for the expand-
ed force to begin work was not
announced partly because Sudan
retained some reservations, includ-
ing the question of who would be
in charge.
The next step is for the U.N. and
AU to call a meeting of the non-
signatories (of the Darfur Peace
Agreement) ... and the government
of Sudan. It should take place in
the next couple of weeks to resolve
outstanding issues by the end of the
year, Annan told reporters.
A U.N. Security Council resolu-
tion has called for U.N. peacekeepers
to take over for the poorly equipped
and underfunded AU force, which
has been unable to quell a war that
has left more than 200,000 dead
since 2003. But Sudans government
has firmly opposed the takeover.
The agreement was announced at
a meeting in Ethiopia that brought
together senior officials from the
AU, the Arab League, the European
Union, Sudan, the United States,
China, Russia, Egypt, France and a
half-dozen African countries.
The expansion of the existing AU
force will take place in three phases,
said Annan, who had wanted to try
to stop the bloodshed in Darfur
before he leaves office on Jan. 1.
An African Union Peace and
Security Council meeting will be
held in the Republic of Congo on
Nov. 24 during which Sudan is
expected to present its final views,
Annan said.
In recent days, pro-government
militia forces known as janjaweed
have stepped up attacks on vil-
lages in Darfur, killing dozens of
people, international observers said
Wednesday.

LOOMIS (CONTINUED FROM 1A)
His teaching style may not be
flashy, but students continue to
enjoy his courses.
Hes definitely one of my
all-time favorite professors,
said Janae Hartmann, Lawrence
senior.
Elaine Sharp, the political sci-
ence department chairwoman,
praised Loomis books and called
him a major player in American
politics.
I think he does more political
commentary than any other faculty
member, Sharp said.
She credited Loomis with sin-
gle-handedly turning around the
departments internship program.
Now the University regularly sends
students to intern in Topeka and
Washington, D.C.
Many of the students whove
gone to that have had terrific
real-world experiences, Sharp
said.
Loomis will readily admit that
he doesnt enjoy broad political the-
orizing and statistical analyses.
Im interested in some of that
stuff, Loomis said. But Im also
interested in hand-to-hand com-
bat.
Loomis knew Nancy Boyda
would beat incumbent Rep. Jim
Ryun in the 2nd district congres-
sional race, though it took time for
him to become convinced. He also
approved of President Bush making
the Iraq war the main focus of the
2006 elections.
I think he gave the American
people the chance to speak on
the war and on his presidency,
Loomis said. It didnt turn out
well for him, but I think it turned
out well for the country.
Politics never gets old for
Loomis. With the U.S. Congress,
especially, theres always some-
thing going on, Loomis said.
Sometimes hell just read a story
directly linked to his work.
Loomis was interviewed for the
Thomas Frank book Whats the
Matter With Kansas? and has writ-
ten several books about political
special interests and the religious
right.
You feel like a part of it all, and
thats fun, Loomis said.
Loomis body of work includes
many articles and a number of
political science textbooks and
books about government trends,
such as a 1998 book he co-authored
called The Sound of Money: How
Political Interests Get What They
Want.
Despite his high profile and
positive relationships with current
politicians such as Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius, Loomis doesnt plan to
ever run for office.
I know too much to run for
office, he said with a laugh. Ive
written too much. Thered be a
million quotes that could be used
against me.

HANOI, Vietnam President
Bush opened a visit Friday to the
wartime capital of this once-divided
country, a trip that is stirring inevita-
ble comparisons between the unpop-
ular war in Iraq and the divisive
conflict fought and lost in Vietnam
more than three decades ago.
Vietnamese officials greeted Bush
and his wife, Laura, at the airport
on humid and breezy morning. Two
young girls, wearing flowing tradi-
tional dresses, presented them with
bouquets of flowers.
Bushs itinerary promised some
interesting moments. Before attend-
ing a state dinner Friday evening,
Bush was to drop by the headquar-
ters of the Communist Party to talk
with its general secretary.
Bush was the fourth U.S. presi-
dent to visit Vietnam, where com-
munist forces prevailed over the
United States and a Washington-
backed regime in Saigon in a conflict
that claimed the lives of more than
58,000 Americans. President Clinton
visited Vietnam in 2000; Lyndon
Johnson and Richard Nixon made
wartime visits.
Bush and his aides have pushed
back against comparisons of the war
here and the Iraq war, now in its
fourth year. Like Vietnam, the United
States faces a determined insurgency
in Iraq; both wars have demonstrat-
ed the limits of U.S. power.
On Air Force One as it flew to
Hanoi, White House press secretary
Tony Snow dodged discussion of
the Vietnam War, either its lessons
for Iraq, or Bushs personal interest
in visiting a country that once so
divided the United States.
The Vietnamese are not particu-
larly interested in that, Snow said.
This is not going to be a look back
at Vietnam. Its going to be a look
forward on how to best cooperate
on health, trade, prisoners of war
and military issues.
Bush flew here from Singapore
after warning a nuclear-armed North
Korea against peddling its weapons
and vowing the United States will
not retreat into isolationism.
Although Republicans lost con-
trol of Congress, Bush directly chal-
lenged newly empowered Democrats
who are demanding a fresh course
in Iraq and fearful that free-trade
agreements could cost U.S. jobs.
We hear voices calling for us
to retreat from the world and close
our doors to these opportunities,
the president said in a speech at the
National University of Singapore.
These are the old temptations of
isolationism and protectionism, and
America must reject them.
Bush came to Vietnam for a
summit of Asia-Pacific leaders and
individual meetings with a hand-
ful of leaders all of them curi-
ous whether election setbacks had
unsettled Bush.
Bush will draw on his powers
of personal diplomacy in meetings
Saturday and Sunday with Russias
Vladimir Putin, Chinas Hu Jintao,
Japans Shinzo Abe and South Koreas
Roh Moo-hyun.
All are partners with the United
States in talks aimed at persuading a
defiant North Korea to abandon its
nuclear weapons.
While North Koreas nuclear
test has been widely condemned,
the 21 members of the Asia-Pacific
Economic Cooperation forum
appeared divided over what to say
publicly. Rice went to Vietnam ahead
of Bush to seek a consensus.
Bush said the transfer of nucle-
ar weapons or material by North
Korea to others would be a grave
threat to the United States, and
we would hold North Korea fully
accountable for the consequences of
such action.
For the sake of peace, he said, it
is vital that the nations of this region
send a message to North Korea that
the proliferation of nuclear technol-
ogy to hostile regimes or terrorist
networks will not be tolerated.
Bushs message in Asia was clear:
The United States has been a power
in Asia for more than six decades
and isnt about to pull back now.
Many nations in the region are ner-
vous about the rise of China and
how Washington will react.
Despite Bushs tough talk, he
was unable to deliver a promised
agreement to normalize trade with
Vietnam. The accord was held up
by the House, sending a bad signal
across Asia about Bushs clout and
the future of trade-liberalizing bills
in the Democratic Congress taking
power in January.
White House National Security
Adviser Stephen Hadley readily
admitted the administration was dis-
appointed about the Vietnam trade
bill but expressed optimism it would
pass.

Charles Dharapak/ASSOCIATED PRESS
U.S. President George W. Bush and frst lady Laura Bush arrive at Noi Bai International Airport
in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Friday, where Bush will attend the Asia Pacifc Economic Cooperation (APEC)
summit. Bush, who has fought against comparisons of the VietnamWar to the Iraq war, challenged
Democrats to reject the old temptations of isolationismand protectionism.

Famous faces get the vote
Last Tuesdays midterm elec-
tions produced a seemingly infi-
nite number of talking points
for the national media, mostly
relating to the power shift in
Washington. But one interest-
ing aspect of the election has
gone relatively overlooked: the
surprisingly high number of can-
didates who switched political
parties prior to the election.
Locally, Paul Morrison is the
most prominent example of this
trend. Morrison switched to
the Democratic ticket in order
to challenge Phill Kline, thus
appealing more to moderate vot-
ers turned off by Klines evangeli-
cal strong-arming.
Jim Webb, the newest sena-
tor from Virginia, was a lifelong
Republican and was Secretary of
the Navy in the Reagan adminis-
tration. Webb ran as a Democrat
to undercut Senator George
Allens moderate base and because
of his disaffection with the Bush
administration. His new party
label appealed to enough voters
in the Commonwealth to propel
him to victory.
So is this the beginning of a
backlash against polarized poli-
tics, or merely another exam-
ple of crass political opportun-
ism? While there is probably an
uncomfortably large portion of
the latter, perhaps we should be
optimistic that moderation may
again be gaining popularity in
Washington.
Most presidents govern as
moderates, which may be a
reflection of the fact that most
Americans describe them-
selves as such. After the last 12
years, which had to rank among
the most polarized periods in
Washington, maybe the spirit
of moderation is again return-
ing to our nations capital, and
the party-switching is simply a
byproduct of that trend.
But young voters must be
careful before they mark that
straight-ticket ballot. A little
investigation may reveal that a
D or an R next to a candi-
dates name does not necessarily
mean that candidate shares your
values and beliefs.
Jon Tester, Montanas new-
est senator, would hardly be
embraced at a party convention
in California. Virginias Webb
would not be the darling of the
Massachusetts Democratic Party.
Dont let a nominal party affilia-
tion be enough to earn your vote;
make sure to evaluate a can-
didates positions on the issues
you care about before support-
ing them. Switching parties may
inject life into the spirit of mod-
eration, but it may also mislead
young voters who often look for
little more than a party name.
The 2008 presidential elec-
tion threatens to elevate even
more candidates who blend posi-
tions, merge principles, and mix
philosophies for political gain.
Students should take care to
always evaluate the candidate,
not just the candidates party.
McKay Stangler for the edito-
rial board
The 2004 film Straight-Jacket is
about Guy Stone, an A-List celebrity
in 1950s Hollywood and Americas
most eligible bachelor. He is also a
barely-closeted gay man caught in a
police raid of a gay bar. To cover the
scandal and keep his leading role in
Ben-Hur, Guys manager and pro-
ducer arrange a sham marriage to
Sally, a studio secretary. The catch
is that Sally isnt in on the joke, and
the marriage begins to crumble
when Guy falls in love with Rick,
the writer of his most recent movie.
To complicate matters further Rick
is a Communist during the height
of McCarthyism.
The film relies on both witty
dialogue and visual gags and can
be wonderfully campy in look and
feel. Beyond the comedy, though, is
an underlying story of love and the
challenges that homosexuals faced
in the entertainment industry and
the world in general. The story also
plants seeds of hope for the future.
The future is referenced sev-
eral times in Straight-Jacket.
Sometimes its for comedic effect,
such as when the character Freddie
picks up a prop that looks like a
1990s laptop and says, Captain
Astro lives in the year 1996, not
four-billion AD! before slamming
the computer down in disgust.
Other times the allusions are
more poignant and obvious. When
Guy and Ricks secret relationship
begins to cause problems, Jerry,
Guys manager, urges them to call
the relationship off and says Maybe
50 years from now a gay actor will
be no big deal, but Im not about to
sacrifice Guy to some cause.
Such a line immediately brings to
mind the current state of affairs for
gay actors. Its been 50 years. Was
Jerry right? Are things better?
Writer-director Richard Day said
in a behind-the-scenes featurette
on the 2005 DVD release that if
you decided to film Straight-Jacket
as a contemporary film instead of
a period film you would have to
change practically nothing, and hes
not entirely wrong.
Throughout the movie, the press
is viewed as an important entity
that can be the deciding factor in
success or failure. When Guy is
photographed outside a gay bar, the
immediate concern is what to do
about the press. When Jerry, Guy
and Guys producer decide a fake
marriage is the best way to cover up
the gay scandal, the marriage news
is all over the media in a montage
of magazine covers and newspa-
per pages. Similarly, when Guy is
exposed as a homosexual the news
is in all the magazines and all the
newspapers. The backlash is imme-
diate, as Guy loses his leading role
in Ben-Hur, is told that all movies
and TV roles are out of his reach
and is made the butt of jokes while
he loses his adoring fan base.
While gay speculation and decla-
rations no longer seem to be imme-
diate death sentences for Hollywood
careers, the medias fixation with
celebrity relationships and sexuality
shows that 50 years havent been as
kind to actors as the characters in
Straight-Jacket would hope.
When Lance Bass of *NSYNC,
Neil Patrick Harris of How I Met
Your Mother and T.R. Knight of
Greys Anatomy announced their
sexual orientation it was all over the
media, generally stemming from a
Hey, Im gay! story in legitimate
magazines. But its not always press
releases and public statements that
fuel the media machine. Speculation
is just as prevalent.
Tom Cruise and John Travolta
are the butts of endless jokes in late-
night monologues and social satires
such as Comedy Centrals South
Park, and tabloids never fail to run
the latest picture or insider state-
ment as proof of hidden homo-
sexuality.
In a 1998 interview with
Hollywood Online, actor Sean
Hayes, who played the flamboyantly
gay Jack McFarland on NBCs Will
& Grace, said Im an actor first
and dont want to say if Im straight
or gay.
Hayes has never given official
word on his sexuality, but that
hasnt slowed the speculation and
questioning, and its not limited to
tabloids and late-night jokes. The
May 2006 issue of The Advocate, a
magazine targeting the LGBT com-
munity, even ran an article called
The Interview Sean Hayes Never
Gave, which was a compilation of
all the times and reasons Hayes had
given for not addressing his sexual-
ity. It all seems to be part of a feed-
ing frenzy that tries to make sexual-
ity important to acting and singing,
and it certainly doesnt jive with
Guys belief that movie characters
wouldnt care who played them.
Maybe its too early to predict
how or even if the media and
publics fixation on sexuality will
have an effect on the careers of
Bass, Harris and Knight. Harris
and Knight certainly arent being
forced out of their jobs like Guy was
stripped from Ben-Hur. But as
long as celebrity sexuality remains a
headline-grabbing topic, its hard to
be more than a step away from the
situation in Straight-Jacket.
Thats not much movement for
50 years.

Last month, syndicated radio
commentator Rush Limbaugh
accused actor Michael J. Fox of
exaggerating his symptoms of
Parkinsons disease while doing a
political advertisement for Missouri
Democratic Senate candidate Claire
McCaskills campaign.
A strong supporter of stem-cell
research, McCaskill received a call
from Fox asking if he could help
with her campaign. His well-known,
boyish face, and chronic condition
in need of a cure, had the potential
to put McCaskills campaign at the
forefront of voters minds. Thus, the
soon-to-be infamous commercial
was filmed. The ad, without focus-
ing on it, visually and painfully
demonstrated that the medication
Fox takes to combat his disease
had seized his body, loosening his
muscles beyond his control. The
resulting visual of the actor was
alarming.
Hes extremely exaggerating the
effects of the disease, Limbaugh
said on his show. Hes moving all
around and shaking and its purely
an act This is really shameless of
Michael J. Fox. Either he didnt take
his medication or hes acting.
Whether politically active or not,
Limbaughs verbal attack infuriated
Foxs fans and opened the search for
the celebritys place in the political
arena. After Limbaughs public apol-
ogy was followed with its retraction,
then the possible retraction of the
retraction, the ad had become a
media frenzy. The political factors
of McCaskills political campaign
were as good as gone.
Within days of the pending
Nov. 7 election, Anderson Cooper
used an entire episode of his show,
Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN, to
interview Fox on the subject, shin-
ing the spotlight all the brighter on
the celeb-factor of Missouris Senate
race.
However off-putting, Limbaugh
and Fox did what McCaskill could
not. Their battle got the public
interested. Political races mean a
great deal to those involved and
invested, but the simple fact is that
often citizens are not interested.
Not quite 45 percent of Douglas
Countys registered voters showed
up at the polls. In comparison,
53 percent of registered Missouri
voters hit the booths to cast their
ultimate opinion on McCaskill and
Republican opponent Jim Talent.
The incumbent Talent was the
favorite, but McCaskill won.
Not only will McCaskill serve
as U.S. senator, the advertisement
that Fox volunteered himself for fell
in her favor. Missouri voters voted
yes on the stem-cell research
amendment.
Did Limbaughs and Foxs celeb-
rity endorsements single-handedly
spark interest of the otherwise apa-
thetic voting public?
Sincerely hoping that America
and its voters look at more than
advertisements and celebrity
endorsements, I dont immediately
attribute McCaskills victory to Foxs
fame. But as a country that runs
significantly more on movie releases
and sporting events than political
strategy, it is becoming clearer that
the majority of Americans dont
care about whats important, but
they care about whats popular.
Limbaugh, and the Republicans,
suffered the consequences of pick-
ing on Marty McFly when hes
down.
Missouri in 2006 isnt the first
place that the famous face has won
out. Consider some of the other
choices American voters have made.
After debating with local gov-
ernment and its regulations while
trying to open a restaurant in Palm
Springs, Ca., Sonny Bono ran for
mayor of the city. With a radio talk
show host leading his campaign,
Bono was elected and served the
city from 1988-1992. The shorter
half of the Sonny and Cher duo
then went on to serve in the U.S.
House of Representatives from 1994
to his death in 1998.
Austrian-native and Terminator
Arnold Schwarzenegger replaced
Governor Gray Davis in 2003 for
the remainder of Davis term. When
Schwarzenegger ran for re-election
on Nov. 7, the blue state watched
Schwarzenegger win by a 17-point
margin. Maybe it was his lack of
college education or his labeling San
Francisco Democrats girlie men
that sealed the deal, but perhaps
his effectiveness as a Kindergarten
Cop provided much of the require-
ment needed to hold public office.
As to whether Claire McCaskill
is the now a senator because of her
political intelligence and plans for
the states future, or because Alex P.
Keaton can pull the heart strings in
all of us, may forever be in question.

Green recovers from injury
Chiefs quarterback returns to the field after ten weeks
BY DOUG TUCKER
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. There will
be no fear of that first hit, Trent Green
says.
Ten weeks after he was knocked
unconscious with a severe concus-
sion, the two-time Pro Bowler is just
happy to finally be back as the start-
ing quarterback for the Kansas City
Chiefs.
Given medical clearance by an
array of doctors after a battery of
tests, Green will start Sunday against
Oakland in a game the Chiefs (5-4)
must win to keep their playoff hopes
alive. It will be his first live action
since Sept. 10 when Cincinnatis
Robert Geathers came flying in and
hit him with a shoulder, snapping his
head violently to the turf.
The ambulance was almost at
the hospital before he regained con-
sciousness. For a couple of weeks, he
wasnt even able to drive. Only earlier
this month was he allowed him to
begin even limited practice.
I dont anticipate having (fear) on
Sunday, Green said Thursday. Just
because of some of the things Ive
been through early in my career. No,
you cant play the position with fear,
and I dont anticipate doing that.
Nevertheless, about 79,000 fans
in Arrowhead Stadium are going
to hold their collective breath the
first time some Raider defender like
tackle Warren Sapp or linebacker
Kirk Morrison gives their 36-year-old
quarterback a good pop.
Youll just say, `Im glad its over,
said coach Herm Edwards. I think
once he gets the snap from center
and he goes back and its a pass and
he sets up in the pocket, if he gets
knocked down, youll go, `OK, thats
done. Lets go.
Before getting medical clearance to
resume the dangerous sport of foot-
ball, Edwards said, Green underwent
more tests than the astronauts.
Hes probably waiting for (that
first hit), Edwards said. He might go
out there and hit somebody himself,
just to get it over with.
While Green was out, backup
Damon Huard performed much bet-
ter than just about anybody expected,
going 5-3 as a starter and throwing
only one interception while hitting 11
touchdown passes. While he waited
impatiently to get the doctors OK
and watched Huard do well, Green
admits he flashed back more than
once to 1999.
Thats when he suffered a devastat-
ing knee injury in the preseason and
lost his starting job with the Rams
to Kurt Warner. By the time he was
healthy again, Warner had led the
Rams to the Super Bowl and been
declared the league MVP.
Was he concerned about losing his
job again?
Theres always concern, especially
since its happened to me before, he
said with a grin.
MLB
Trainer to return to prison
Sentence could include more than a year behind bars
BY DAVID KRAVETS AND
PAUL ELIAS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A federal
appeals court ruled Thursday that
Barry Bonds personal trainer must
return to prison for refusing to tes-
tify before a grand jury investigat-
ing performance-enhancing drugs
in professional sports.
Greg Anderson, 40, already has
served two other brief prison stints
for refusing to testify whether his
boyhood friend lied when he said he
never knowingly used steroids. Both
times, Anderson, held in contempt
of court, was released on procedural
grounds.
Anderson must report to the
Federal Correctional Institution in
Dublin by Nov. 20 and could serve
more than a year behind bars unless
he agrees to tell the grand jury what
he knows about Bonds alleged ste-
roids use.
The San Francisco Giants slugger,
whos now a free agent, told a 2003
grand jury that he believed Anderson
had provided him flaxseed oil and
arthritic balm, not steroids.
Andersons attorney Mark
Geragos could not immediately be
reached for comment.
Federal prosecutors believe Bonds
committed perjury in 2003 when he
appeared before another grand jury
that was investigating the Bay Area
Laboratory Co-Operative, which
turned out to be a steroids ring.
Anderson was convicted in the
BALCO probe, pleading guilty to
steroid distribution and money
laundering charges. He served three
months in jail.
In July, Anderson served 15 days
in prison for refusing to talk to the
grand jury looking into Bonds tes-
timony but was released when the
panels term expired. He was held in
contempt a second time after a new
grand jury was formed but got out
of prison after 37 days when the 9th
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals failed
to uphold the citation within 30 days
as the law requires.
Geragos argued Anderson
shouldnt have to testify about
whether he gave Bonds steroids,
contending prosecutors illegally
recorded him in 2004 on a tape in
which Anderson is overheard dis-
cussing steroids.
Prosecutors say the recording was
made during a face-to-face meeting
and wasnt obtained improperly. A
lower court judge ruled the record-
ing, which was made by an uniden-
tified person, was legal and did not
prejudice the grand jury against
Anderson, as Anderson claimed.

China to use mice to test food safety
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIJING China will use mice
to test the safety of food for athletes
competing in the 2008 Olympic
Games, state media reported Turs-
day.
Milk, alcohol, salad, rice, oil, salt
and seasonings will be tested by white
mice 24 hours before they are used in
cooking or served to athletes, Xinhua
News Agency quoted Zhao Xinsheng
of the Beijing Municipal Health In-
spection Bureau as saying.
Zhao told a meeting on hygiene
measures for the games that the mice
would develop an adverse reaction to
any food poisoning within 17 hours,
sooner than test methods such as
bacteria cultures.
China has seen a string of food
poisoning incidents in recent
months.
In October, more than 200 stu-
dents and teachers fell ill at a school
in southern China.
Tere have been at least eight
other food poisoning incidents, but
of cials say they dont appear to be
connected.
Zhen Xiaozhen, of the medi-
cal team of the Beijing Organizing
Committee of the Olympic Games,
told the meeting that most of the
food for the Olympic athletes would
be Western style, complemented by
Chinese dishes.
Health inspectors were to receive
training in management and inspec-
tion of Western food preparation
starting this month, said Liang Jin of
the inspection bureau.

Cruise, Holmes to marry
in Italian castle near Rome
ROME Tom Cruise and Katie
Holmes will likely wed Saturday in
a Scientology ceremony held at a
15th-century Italian castle in a lake-
side town near Rome, the towns
mayor said Thursday.
The wedding party, along with
guests, are then expected to at-
tend a banquet the same day in
Rome, Bracciano Mayor Patrizia
Riccioni said.
For weeks rumors have focused
on Odescalchi Castle in the sleepy
town of Bracciano as the likely
venue for the celebrity wedding.
Riccioni told a news conference
Thursday she had met the couple
the day before somewhere outside
of her town, but she would not say
where.
She was coy about other details,
too, saying only that she expected
the couple to arrive Saturday
morning at the castle, which over-
looks Lake Bracciano, for what she
believed would be a Scientology
wedding ceremony, followed by
a banquet. She said she expected
the couple to return to the Italian
capital the same day.
Cruise, 44, star of the Mission: Im-
possibleflms, and Holmes, 27, have
been staying at a luxury hotel near
the Spanish Steps in Rome. They
were photographed Thursday with
their infant daughter, Suri, as they
walked to a restaurant in the city.

Cardinals set earnings
record for World Series
NAPLES, Fla. The St. Louis
Cardinals cashed in at the World
Series, earning more money than
any other team in history.
St. Louis split $20.02 million for
beating the Detroit Tigers. A full
share of that was worth $362,173,
the commissioners
office said Thursday.
That was nearly $40,000
more than what White
Sox players received last
year.
Teams are allowed to
divide the shares as they see fit. The
Cardinals gave 48 full shares, 7.133
partial shares and 16 cash awards.
When the Cardinals won their
previous title in 1982, a full share
was worth $43,280.
A full share for the Tigers was
worth $291,668, more than $50,000
higher than the previous mark for
a losing team. The 2000 New York
Mets held that mark.
Associated Press
Manning wants Colts to fy
under the radar
DALLAS Before the season
started, Peyton Manning said hed
prefer that he and the Colts fly
under the radar this season.
Losing to the Cowboys on Sunday
might help, keeping the spotlight
off the Colts and allowing them to
finish a sedate 14-2 or 13-3, depend-
ing on how quickly they
clinch what they have to
clinch.
Indianapolis, the first
team ever to start 9-0 in
two straight years, is a
one-point favorite in Dallas.
The Colts havent been pretty this
season, but they are better on the
road against good teams (Denver
and New England) than at home
against bad ones (Tennessee and
Buffalo). Last week they barely beat
the 3-6 Bills at the RCA Dome, win-
ning 17-16 because the defense held
up against a weak offense.
Associated Press
General managers consider
instant replay for baseball
NAPLES, Fla. Baseball gen-
eral managers think instant replay is
worth another look.
GMs plan to talk about the topic
some more, and perhaps make rec-
ommendations in the future, even
they know commissioner Bud Selig
is against having replays to aid
umpires decisions.`
GMs have repeatedly discussed
the topic but know replays arent like-
ly to be used while Selig
is in charge. Many GMs
would favor replays on
fair/foul calls and dis-
puted home runs.
Chicago Cubs man-
ager Lou Piniella, whose
been known to speak
his mind to umpires, doesnt think
theres a need for replays.
Umpires do a really nice job, he
said. I think thats the way baseball
has been played since inception. I
dont see any reason to change it.

Twins Johan Santana
wins AL Cy Young award
NEW YORK Johan Santana
won the AL Cy Young Award on
Thursday for the second time in
three years, and the Minnesota
Twins ace was a unanimous choice
once again.
Santana received all 28 first-place
votes for a perfect total of 140 points
in balloting by the Baseball Writers
Association of America. Chien-Ming
Wang of the New York Yankees fin-
ished a distant second with 15 sec-
ond-place votes and 51 points.
The left-hander separated himself
from all others during a
dominant season, going
19-6 with a 2.77 ERA
and 245 strikeouts to
lead Minnesota to the
AL Central title. With a
baffling change up and
excellent control, he tied Wang for
most wins in the majors and led the
AL in ERA, strikeouts and innings
pitched (233 2-3).

The Kansas cross country pro-
gram will be represented by the
mens team this Monday at the
NCAA championships in Terre
Haute, Ind.
The womens team, which
finished 11th in the Big 12
Conference and 12th in the
Midwest Regional, did not receive
an at-large bid to compete.
The mens team finished 12th
at the championships last year and
returns its top five finishers from
that meet.
To finish top 10 is the goal,
coach Stanley Redwine said.
In order to reach that goal,
Redwine said that three of the run-
ners would have to finish under
40th place and two runners would
have to place around the hundreds.
The LaVern Gibson Course has
been the championship course the
past three years and the team has
already run the course at the Pre-
Nationals Invitational this year.
Its just a matter of us doing
what were capable of doing,
Redwine said.
Junior Paul Hefferon has set per-
sonal records each time he has run
the 10k on this course.
After a season of continued
improvement and a week of rest
following the Midwest Regionals,
the team looks to peak at Mondays
race.
Our whole training has been
geared towards nationals, junior
Colby Wissel said.
Though Wissel is the 2006 Big
12 Champion, he doesnt think the
title will help him out Monday.
It was a lot of fun to win it, but
in terms of the national champi-
onship it doesnt mean anything,
Wissel said.
Wissel is looking to reach all-
American status at the champion-
ship to cap off a standout year.
All-American status is placing in
the top 30.
It will be Wissel, Hefferon and
senior Benson Chesang who look
to place in the top 40.
If were all on on the same day,
were one of the best teams in the
country, Hefferon said.
The mens race will start at 1:15
p.m. Monday. Kansas runners will
be easy to spot the entire team
will be sporting full-grown beards.

It might be what the Jayhawk
volleyball team needs: a rivalry
game.
Kansas (10-16, 3-14 Big 12
Conference) faces rival Missouri
(15-11, 9-8) in the Border
Showdown at 7 p.m. Saturday at
the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Currently, the 2006-07 Border
Showdown, which includes all
sports, is tied 4-4.
The Jayhawks look to snap a
seven-game losing streak, while the
Tigers will try to improve their
NCAA tournament positioning
after two consecutive losses.
Theyre coming in after a tough
five-game loss, but theyre going to
be an NCAA tournament team,
coach Ray Bechard said. Its an
opportunity for us to break through
against a really good team.
Missouri lost to Oklahoma on
Wednesday, while Kansas fell to
Baylor.
The Jayhawks have been swept
their last four matches, three of
them on the road. Bechard said his
team would not fade and expected
them to be motivated to play rival
Missouri.
Against Baylor, Kansas was
without Emily Brown, junior right
side hitter. Brown, a team captain,
injured her foot during practice this
past Monday. The team is hopeful
shell be able to return for tomor-
rows match.
She came down on somebody
elses foot, Bechard said. Shell be
day-to-day.
Brown was second on the team
averaging 3.47 kills a game, tenth in
the conference. Jana Correa, senior
outside hitter, is ninth in the Big 12
with 3.85 kills per game.
Missouri is led by senior Jessica
Vander-Kooi, who is sixth in the
conference with 4.13 kills a game.
Kansas will face Nebraska (24-1,
16-1) at 7 p.m. next Wednesday at
the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
The Huskers swept the Jayhawks to
open conference play this season in
Lincoln.

Stingy defense, late scoring drive help Hawks defeat Roos

Improved defense leads to win
BY CASE KEEFER
Kelly Kohn had four points with
five and a half minutes remaining in
Thursdays game against the UMKC
Kangaroos.
In less than two minutes, the
freshman guard recorded nine points
to seal a 66-53 Kansas victory.
When you get into the moment
of the game, there comes a time
where youve got to put your foot
down and pull away, Kohn said.
She shot five for eight overall and
had a team-high 13 points.
It doesnt surprise me, coach
Bonnie Henrickson said. Shes a men-
tally tough kid with a good shot.
Sophomore guard Ivana Catic,
who played 27 minutes combined
in Kansas first two games, played
31 on Thursday. Catic took over at
point guard midway through the first
half and proved to be the spark the
Jayhawks needed offensively after
shooting a dreadful 30 percent from
the field during the first ten minutes.
Catic finished with nine points
and five assists, and Henrickson was
impressed with the good work she
had.
She understands that when she
gets in, shes got a responsibility,
Henrickson said.
Kansas struggled at the beginning
of the game. The guards were getting
the ball down low to Marija Zinic,
but the sophomore center was not
turning those looks into baskets.
Zinic finished the first half 1-for-
6 with only three points.
Henrickson heaved a sigh and let
her arms go limp as UMKC senior
forward Leigh Mead hit a wide-open
three-point shot with 8:35 remaining
in the first half to cut the Jayhawks
lead to 17 to 16.
The shot would be the last to fall
for the Kangaroos in the first half.
Kansas went on a 13-0 run and left the
court for halftime with a 30-16 lead.
The Jayhawks stingy defense, led
by two Catic steals, held UMKC to
25 percent shooting in the first half.
In the second half, the Kangaroos
went on a run of their own. With
Zinic out because of foul trouble,
junior center Alysa Klein exposed
Kansas frontcourt weakness. Klein
had eight points in five minutes and
cut the lead down to 47-42 with 6:57
remaining.
Freshman forward Danielle
McCray added four points with
less than 2:30 remaining. Freshmen
accounted for 17 of Kansas final 19
points.
Catic noticed her young team-
mates heroics.
They did a really good job, she
said. They all contributed.
The Jayhawks record stands at 2-
1. The team will travel to Creighton
on Monday.

BY ASHER FUSCO
Entering Thursday nights game
against UMKC, the womens bas-
ketball team was shooting less than
35 percent from the field. The team
had sunk only four three-point shots
in their first two games. In order to
defeat an experienced UMKC team,
the Jayhawks needed to display more
poise than they had previously.
Luckily for the Jayhawks, sopho-
more guard Ivana Catic had poise to
spare Thursday evening.
After starting most of Kansas games
as a freshman last season, Catic found
herself buried deep on the bench
to begin this season. Coach Bonnie
Henrickson was disappointed in her
failure to communicate on defense, and
as a result, gave most of the playing
time to senior guard Shaquina Mosley.
The Ivana Catic that showed up
to play against UMKC showed lit-
tle weakness on the defensive end,
picking up four steals and hold-
ing UMKC junior Brittny Picconi to
seven points on 2-of-8 shooting.
Ivanas performance tonight was
night and day, Henrickson said. I
could see her pointing and hear her
calling for switches on defense.
As a team Kansas was sharper on
the defensive end, forcing 25 turn-
overs and pressing UMKC into taking
many tough shots. This led Kansas to
jump to a 30-16 halftime lead.
Just as it looked like UMKC was
clawing their way back into the game
during the second half, Catic buried
a three-point shot to punctuate an 8-
2 Jayhawk run. The shot gave Kansas
a 16-point cushion and injected life
into a team that appeared sluggish at
the start of the second half.
It was this momentum that led the
Jayhawks to a 66-53 victory against
the Kangaroos.

goal with 7:02 left in the game. The
Wildcats were trying to go up by
a touchdown, leading 21-17, but
Ashley blocked K-State kicker Joe
Rheems 49-yard field-goal attempt.
Kansas had a six-play scoring
drive to regain the lead on the ensu-
ing series.
Travis Dambach, senior offensive
lineman, said he remembered that
drive was capped by Mark Simmons,
a former Kansas wide receiver, snag-
ging a one-handed touchdown grab.
Quarterback Jason Swanson, who
replaced Adam Barmann in the
fourth quarter, threw the ball to
Simmons, who then made the acro-
batic catch to give Kansas a 24-21
lead.
John Randle, former Kansas run-
ning back, gave the Jayhawks a 10-
point lead on a 43-yard touchdown
run with 3:16 remaining.
The Wildcats needed two scor-
ing drives late in the game, and
scored only one late touchdown.
They failed to recover the following
onside kick.
Randle was the star of the game
as he rushed for 105 yards, had
51 receiving yards and scored two
touchdowns.
After the game, Randle gave cred-
it to the offensive line for opening
up holes.
The lines blocking was magnifi-
cent tonight, he said.
Before time expired, students
rushed the field and tore down the
goal posts then headed to either
Potters Lake or Massachusetts Street
to continue the celebration.
Kansas State was led by wide
receiver Yamon Figurs with 106
yards as a sophomore. Figurs, now
a senior, could play tomorrow,
although his status is questionable.
The game was one of coach Mark
Manginos most important victo-
ries. Although the team finished 4-
7, Kansas was competitive in every
game and nearly defeated football
powerhouses Nebraska and Texas.
At 2:30 Saturday, the Jayhawks
and Wildcats will meet for the 104th
time. Last season, Kansas lost a low
scoring, grind-it-out game 12-3 in
Manhattan.
The Jayhawks are favored, but
remember, it is a rivalry game and
anything can happen.
notes from 2004:
Charles Gordon had one inter-
ception against K-State. For the sea-
son, he picked off seven passes lead-
ing the Big 12 and was tied for first
nationally.
Kansas has never lost in the series
when scoring more than 23 points.
The official attendance was
50,152, the third largest crowd to
a KU vs. KSU game at Memorial
Stadium.
The rivalry is the sixth longest
uninterrupted series in the NCAA
with 95 games in a row. Kansas vs.
Nebraska is first, with 101 straight
games.

By C.J. MoorE
Valerie Meier and Dennis Meier
have a tough decision to make this
Saturday.
The parents of K-State senior
quarterback Dylan Meier and KU
freshman quarterback Kerry Meier
have had all four of their sons play
college football, but never against
each other. Thats happening for the
first time this Saturday for the two
youngest Meier brothers. Who will
Mom and Dad be rooting for?
Were rooting for the offenses,
Dennis said.
The brothers first meeting lost
some of its appeal several weeks ago
when Dylan was delegated to the
backup role and K-State freshman
quarterback Josh Freeman emerged
as the starter, something Dylan has
taken in stride.
I think Dylans handled the situ-
ation very well, Kerry said. Thats
just the way Dylan is: hes a real
strong personality. Whatever is
dealt his way, hes going to handle
it and hes going to take it no mat-
ter what.
A move to second-string might
have been a tougher pill to swal-
low for Dylan had Kerry become a
Wildcat. With oldest brother Shad
Meier playing tight end for K-State
(1997-2000) and Dylan ending up
at K-State, former K-State coach
Bill Snyder tried to bring one more
Meier to Manhattan.
Despite growing up going to K-
State games to watch Shad, Kerry
decided he needed to make a name
for himself somewhere else.
For the most part, I think he
thought it would be better espe-
cially with he and Dylan being at
the same position that hed prob-
ably be better off to find his own
path, Dennis said.
Kerry has found a place for him-
self at Kansas where he was handed
the starting job this year after taking
a redshirt last season.
Kerry was given a chance to be
the starting quarterback his second
year at Pittsburg High School as
well. Dylan took the team to the
state championship his senior sea-
son with Kerry watching from the
sidelines and serving as the teams
place kicker. Dylan was his holder.
When Dylan graduated, Kerry was
ready to take the reins his sopho-
more year. However, an injury kept
him out that entire season and he
became the starter as a junior.
Because of his older brothers, his
high school coach Merle Clark said
Kerry had always been ahead in his
progression as a quarterback.
Kerry grew up around the game,
said Clark, whos driving up for the
game. Hes been around football
since he was a little bitty kid. Theres
nothing really to intimidate him.
Hes been around a lot of big games
since he was old enough to walk.
It was about that time when foot-
ball took over the Meier familys life.
Dennis and Valerie have been going
to games every weekend for years,
and this year is no different.
They have gone to one of Kerry
or Dylans games every Saturday this
football season, making it to part of
both on days where one plays in the
afternoon and the other at night.
That must make it twice as nice to
have to be in only one place at one
time this Saturday, right?
Exactly, Dennis said.
Kerry and Dylan have been
talking on the phone every day
this week, awaiting the Sunflower
Showdown. With bowl eligibil-
ity on the line for Kansas and
K-State coming off one of the
programs biggest victories of all
time, the two have had plenty to
talk about.
After Saturday, one of the two
is going to have bragging rights,
and Kerry would like to see Dylan
have a shot to give this game a little
more Meier spice than it already
has.
Id really love that, to have
my brother out there and playing
against him, Kerry said. Growing
up, we were always going at it; we
had great battles. Itll be neat if he
could, but well see how it goes. If
the situation arises, itd be great.
But if not, I know Dylan, hell be
all right.

Defense, shooting must improve to bounce back
menS baSKetball
By shAwn shroyEr
Early-season losses are nothing
new to returning members of the
Kansas basketball team. The trick is
bouncing back.
When Kansas plays Towson on
Sunday night, coach Bill Self and
Kansas fans will find out just how
this team will respond to its 78-71
loss to Oral Roberts.
Its frustrating that we
dont quite get it yet, Self said.
Hopefully we will here pretty
soon.
Last year, Kansas was 3-4
after its first seven games. The
Jayhawks responded by winning
19 of their 22 remaining regular
season games, capturing the Big
12 Championship, and receiving
a No. 4 seed in the NCAA tourna-
ment.
The moral of the story is that its
way too early to panic, regardless
of how disheartening a loss inside
Allen Fieldhouse to a mid-major
opponent was.
Still, the Jayhawks were notice-
ably stunned after Wednesdays
loss.
The locker room was completely
silent just now, junior guard Russell
Robinson said. That just shows
that everybody felt that loss. This
loss is going to help us later on in
the season.
Kansas will have to find the
words to address its shortcomings
from Wednesday in order to not
underestimate the Towson Tigers.
First and foremost, Kansas needs
its all-conference sophomores
Brandon Rush and Julian Wright
to get involved on offense early
and often.
Against Oral Roberts, Rush took
nearly 15 minutes to score his first
point of the game. Wright had 12
rebounds and five blocks, but he
was more of a liability on offense
than an asset. His six points were
equaled by six turnovers.
As a team, Kansas shooting was
poor. Its perimeter shooting was
nonexistent in the second half and
the Jayhawks were anything but
solid from the free-throw line, hit-
ting only five of 13.
We made 29 field goals, I guar-
antee you 24 of them were inside
of three feet, Self said. Just pitiful
shooting.
Kansas will also have to become
more disciplined on defense after
being abused by Oral Roberts.
Golden Eagles Caleb Green and
Marchello Vealy combined for 42
points and shot 9-for-11 from three-
point range and had plenty of sup-
port from their teammates. Oral
Roberts shot 46.6 percent from the
field.
Kansas can expect more of the
same from Towson. The Tigers shot
46.2 percent from the field in their
season opener.
If Kansas wants to know who
Towsons versions of Green and
Vealy are, it can look to no further
than forward Winstonn Tubbs and
guard Gary Neal.
Tubbs made six of nine shots
in his first game on his way to
15 points and also pulled down a
game-high 13 rebounds. Neal only
made a pair of three-point shots
in his first game, but he obviously
felt capable behind the arc, putting
up nine attempts. He led all scorers
with 20 points.
Containing these two should
be priority No. 1 on defense for
Kansas.
Kansas hasnt lost consecutive
home games since 1988-89 and the
Jayhawks dont want that stat to
change. But most of all, they dont
want to return to a dead locker
room after Sundays game.

loss.

Two youngest Meier brothers
to represent opposing teams
Ofense
Since replacing senior quarterback Dylan Meier with
freshman Josh Freeman, the ofense has begun to click.
Freeman has been the Big 12 ofensive player of the week
each of the last two weeks, and even as a freshman is show-
ing the talent that had college scouts drooling over him.
Hell face a big test this weekend if star receiver Yamon Fig-
urs is injured; hes listed as questionable for the game.
Coach Ron Prince has demonstrated that hell do what-
ever it takes to win, and he has full confdence in the fresh-
man quarterback to make whatever plays need to be made
to advance the football.
Defense
When the ofense takes the lead, the Wildcat
defense has succeeded in protecting it. The
team has led at halftime in all seven of its vic-
tories and trailed at halftime in all four of its
losses.
The unit is led by sophomore Ian Camp-
bell, who needs only one more sack to break
the school record, which has stood since
1996. Hell have his work cut out
for him against Jayhawk
quarterback Kerry Meier,
who likes to scramble and
run around behind the
line of scrimmage.
Dont look for the de-
fense to make big plays,
but if the ofense can give
it something to work with,
they have the potential to
keep the Jayhawks of the
scoreboard.
Momentum
A healthy amount of purple will
balance out the crimson and blue in
Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Prince
has given Wildcat fans a reason to be ex-
cited about the team again, and theyre ea-
ger to prove that the loss to the Jayhawks in
2004 was a one-time event. The only down-
side is that the Wildcats have played 12 con-
secutive weeks, and the Jayhawks just had
the week of. Will Kansas be able to outrun its
in-state rival in the fourth quarter?
Ofense
Kansas ofense has fnally started to click with quarter-
backs Kerry Meier and Todd Reesing in the lineup. The of-
fense is at its best when running back Jon Cornish sets up
the passing game. The key for the Jayhawks will be to con-
trol the clock with the rushing game of Meier and Cornish.
Kansas rushing attack has proved it can efectively set up
the down-feld passing game. If Kansas can control the clock
and go for the big play when needed, the Jayhawks have a
chance to get the victory.
Defense
After struggling for most of the season, Kansas defense
has fnally started to fnd its form. Its hard to tell, though, if
thats fools gold, because those two victories came against
the two worst teams in the conference. The Jayhawks will
have to continue the progress theyve made the past
few weeks if they hope to slow down Wildcat quar-
terback Josh Freeman. The key against the freshman
will be to get in his face and try to knock Freeman
down. K-States ofense will have success unless the
defensive line can get to Freeman.
Momentum
After a week of, Kansas tries to
regain the momentum it found
in its two straight wins. The
key for Kansas will be to
feed of the energy
and emotion of the
expected large
crowd. The Jay-
hawks are 10-2
at home in the
last two seasons.
Kansas plays its
best football when
riding a wave of emotion. Adding to the
emotions is the fact that its the last
home game for several seniors. Us-
ing the emotion and momentum to
their advantage will be key for the
Jayhawks.
After being dismissed early in
the season as a Big 12 also-ran,
coach Ron Prince has led the
Wildcats to a 7-4 record in his
frst year as coach. Kansas State
enters Saturdays game as the
hottest team in the Big 12 af-
ter knocking of No. 4 Texas last
week in Manhattan. The Wild-
cats aim to prove that this was
no fuke, and they can boost
themselves into an elite bowl
game by making a statement
and destroying the Jayhawks.
36 points per game aver-
aged by the Wildcats over the
past three weeks.
67 percent of the feld goals
attempted by kicker Jef Snod-
grass have been good, which is
fourth-best in the conference.
Hes also made three 50-plus
yarders this season.
104 times the Jayhawks and
Wildcats have played, the 13th
most-played match-up in the
country.
6-1 record for the Wildcats
when the Sunfower Showdown
is televised. Saturdays game is
on FSN.
12 straight weeks that Kan-
sas State has played. The team
did not have a bye week.
Senior wide receiver Yamon
Figurs. Last week he fnished
with 123 yards receiving and
two touchdowns, and is equally
dangerous as a punt returner,
returning a 52-yard punt that
helped set
up a K-State
touchdown.
He was
named the
Big 12 special
teams player
of the week
after the
game. How-
ever, he injured himself late in
the game, and coach Ron Prince
said his participation Saturday
was questionable.
ROn PRinceS PlaYcalling
With seemingly nothing to
lose after a dismal start, the K-
State coach has thrown out the
playbook and begun getting in-
novative, including running sev-
eral trick plays in a victory over
then-No. 3 Texas. But that game
was diferent because nobody
expected the Wildcats to win.
Now that the expectations are
on Prince, will he get conserva-
tive or continue the creative
streak that has fueled his teams
recent run?
Kansas enters the 104th
Sunfower Showdown on a
two-game winning streak. That
streak, though, was halted by a
bye week. Now the challenge
for the Jayhawks is to regain
their momentum and get their
sixth victory to qualify for a bowl
game. The key for Kansas will be
to disrupt Kansas States ofense
and get to the quarterback early
and often. If the defense can fnd
a way to do what Texas couldnt
do a week ago, expect Kansas to
get the victory.
23 straight games since
Kansas last allowed a 100-yard
rusher.
313 yards needed for run-
ning back Jon Cornish to break
the KU single-season rushing
record.
1-3 Mark Manginos record
against K-State.
5 interceptions this season
for cornerback Aqib Talib.
46 consecutive starts for of-
fensive lineman Bob Whitaker,
ffth-most in NCAA Division I-A.
Junior defensive end James
Mcclinton. If Kansas wants to
defeat K-State, McClinton and
the defensive line will play a
big role. On
the season,
Mc Cl i nt o n
has 40 tack-
les, including
34 solo. He
also has four
sacks. Mc-
Clinton said
this week that he wanted to put
K-State quarterback Josh Free-
man on the ground as much as
possible. If he can do that, the
Jayhawks have a good chance
to win.
MOMentuM
You have to wonder how the
bye week will afect the mo-
mentum Kansas gained in its
last two victories. If Kansas can
feed of the energy from the
large crowd, that should help
it regain momentum. But if the
Jayhawks come out fat, expect
the Wildcats to roll.

no. 16 Oklahoma (8-2, 5-1) at Baylor (4-7, 3-4)
11 a.m. Saturday, FSn
The Oklahoma Sooners can move one game closer to a South Division
title Saturday with a victory against Baylor. Oklahoma, though, still needs
another loss by Texas to guarantee its spot in the Big 12 championship
game.
While a Texas loss to Texas A&M in Austin seems unlikely, Oklahoma still
has plenty to play for. The Sooners are playing for bowl positioning among
several New Years Day games. If Oklahoma wins its last two games against
Baylor and Oklahoma State, the Sooners are likely headed to the Cotton
Bowl.
Baylor shouldnt be much of a problem for Oklahoma, considering the
Sooners have been just fne without star running back Adrian Peterson. His
replacement, Allen Patrick, has two 100-yard games this season.
Missouri (7-3, 3-3) at iowa State (3-8, 0-7)
1 p.m. Saturday
Dan McCarney closes out his coaching career at Iowa State on Saturday.
McCarney resigned two weeks ago because of the Cyclones struggles this
season. Iowa State has struggled all season, but it hasnt helped that its
ofense has been hit hard by injuries and illness.
After starting the season 6-0, Missouri has lost three of its last four
games. That rough stretch coincided with the beginning of conference
play. In their last four games, the Tigers have struggled hanging onto the
ball. Missouri has 12 turnovers in its last four games.
Its tough to say whether the Cyclones will be caught up in the emo-
tion of McCarneys fnal game, but they could catch the Tigers sleeping.
But with Missouri coming of a bye-week, expect the Tigers to control the
game from the start.
no. 2 Michigan (11-0, 7-0) at no. 1 Ohio State (11-0, 7-0)
2:30 p.m. Saturday, aBc
The road to the BCS National Championship Game runs through Ohio
Stadium Saturday, with the winner automatically advancing to play for the
national title. The loser may follow to Glendale, Ariz., but that will be left up
to the poll voters and computers.
The edge in one of the nations best football rivalries would seem to go
to Ohio State, because the Buckeyes are playing at home. But both teams
have gone on the road and won big games Ohio State at Texas and
Michigan at Notre Dame.
Michigan has one of the best defenses in the country, allowing an aver-
age of just 12 points a game. Ohio State scores an average of 35 points a
game. Expect the Buckeyes to squeak out a victory at home.
