    BY SASHA ROE

    Smokers were on the hot seat Thursday
    when the Kansas Health Policy Authority
    announced its 21 recommendations to
    reform the states health care system. The
    recommendations, part of a $158 million
    plan, included a statewide smoking ban
    and an increased tobacco tax.
    If were going to talk about health care
    reform seriously, this has to be part of
    the debate, said Marcia Nielson, execu-
    tive director of the Kansas Health Policy
    Authority.
    Among the 21 recommendations the
    agency revealed to the Kansas Legislatures
    Health Policy Oversight Joint Committee
    were an excise tax on cigarettes to raise
    the price by 50 cents per pack, another
    tax on smokeless tobacco products and a
    statewide public smoking ban. According
    to the authority, the tobacco tax, or user
    fee, would produce revenue of $51.9 mil-
    lion a year. A 2007 poll by the Sunflower
    Foundation said 64 percent of Kansans
    would be in support of a tobacco user fee
    to decrease its use.
    Rep. Bob Bethell (R-Alden), a member
    of the legislative committee, said the fee
    and the ban would single out a group of
    people who created public health prob-
    lems by continuing their habit. Twenty
    percent of Kansans were smokers, he said,
    so the user fee had a very small group
    of people who would oppose it. He said
    studies had shown that when taxes were
    increased fewer people used the product.
    Bethell said it was important to remember
    the statistic was difficult to track because
    tobacco users may buy in another state to
    avoid the user fee.
    Also proposed was the statewide smok-
    ing ban in public places. Lawrence enacted
    a citywide smoking ban in 2004.
    Jesus Castillo, Liberal senior and a
    smoker, said paying an extra 50 cents
    wouldnt keep him from buying cigarettes
    because it was something he chose to do
    and the government couldnt force him
    not to do it.
    It doesnt bother me because its my
    individual choice, Castillo said. Id still
    do it anyway.
    Castillo said he would be OK with
    a statewide smoking ban, too. He said
    smokers had the option of stepping
    outside restaurants and bars to smoke,
    but other people there didnt have that
    choice and were subjected to secondhand
    smoke.
    Sen. David Haley (D-Kansas City),
    another committee member, said he knew
    a lot of work went into the authoritys
    recommendations. He said it was only
    natural for the authority to look at the No.
    1 public health problem and want to do
    something.
    When the most preventable of public
    health problems is identified, any task
    force is going to be looking at ways to
    prevent its presence, Haley said.
    Haley said statistics had shown that
    increasing the cost of cigarettes reduced
    their usage and the money raised could go
    to health care in Kansas. He said the legis-
    lature had looked at a statewide smoking
    ban and cigarette tax increase before but
    chose not to adopt it. Haley said that even
    though the increased tobacco tax of 50
    cents was called a user fee rather than a
    tax, he still thought the legislature would
    be resistant.
    The legislature has always had a hesi-
    tancy to impose tax increases, Haley said.
    And I think the legislature still uses the
    clich, If it walks like a duck, quacks like
    a duck, it is a duck.
    Nielson said polls had shown that the
    public supported the user fee increase
    and statewide smoking ban. She said 22
    community tours, four advisory councils
    and many meetings with stakeholders
    had gone into the research for the reform
    proposals. The recommendations will be
    reviewed in the 2008 legislative session,
    which begins Jan. 14.

    Covenant Eyes, which installs itself on
    addicts computers to help them recover
    and get past their addiction.
    The program consists of a Web site
    tracker that notifies an accountability
    partner of the addicts choice anytime
    the addict visits a questionable Web site.
    The partner then works with the addict,
    helping the person recover.

    uled to land Wednesday afternoon.
    The original landing was supposed to

    Pamela Melroy preferred an easier day-

    WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD IMPROVE THE KU BUS SYSTEM?
    JESSICA COX
    Olathe freshman
    Maybe KU could add some buses
    to the system. I dont ride because
    I dont trust the buses. I dont want
    to be late or miss any of my classes.
    IBARI EZEKWE
    Kansas City senior
    The buses are generally on time,
    but I think that certain places like
    McCollum have more buses than
    other places. Theyre not equally di-
    vided. There needs to be a balance.
    STEVE RAMSDELL
    Lawrence junior
    No system is perfect, but it would
    be helpful to have more buses for
    the morning and more for the early
    afternoon since that is when most
    students have class.
    ALEX WARD
    El Dorado sophomore
    Theres not a whole lot anyone
    can do about it. It would be nice to
    have more buses, but I dont think
    that anything will necessarily x
    the problem.

    It can start with a simple click
    on a link. Suddenly, a window pops
    up on your computer screen with
    photos and videos of naked people
    in various sexual positions.
    Some people close the window
    and dont think anything of it. For
    others, it opens the door to por-
    nography addiction.
    Campus Crusade for Christ offers
    a voluntary solution to pornography
    addiction. The computer program,
    Covenant Eyes, installs itself on the
    computer, then tracks all the URLs
    the addict visits. The program sends
    a report to a friend the addict chooses
    as an accountability partner. All ques-
    tionable sites are highlighted in red.
    The program also includes a panic
    button, which blocks Internet access
    until the addict calls customer sup-
    port.
    The addict pays a monthly fee
    to use the program, but the orga-
    nization offers a discount for stu-
    dents. The person cannot take the
    Covenant Eyes program off the
    computer without the permission
    of the accountability partner.
    One Dallas junior said he
    had been looking at pornogra-
    phy online since high school. He
    said he started using the program
    about a year ago after he realized
    his behavior conflicted with his
    Christian beliefs. I just wanted
    some accountability, he said.
    Chaz Stele, Lawrence resi-
    dent and former University of
    Kansas student, plays accountabil-
    ity partner for five students at the
    University. He said he had strug-
    gled with pornography addiction
    for about six years before he found
    the Covenant Eyes program.
    I realized I had a problem long
    before I became a Christian, Stele
    said. I had a really bad conscience,
    and I thought it was morally wrong to
    look at women fornicating with men
    on the Internet. Then I met some
    guys in Campus Crusade for Christ
    that introduced me to the program.
    Stele said a friend volunteered to be
    his accountability partner and called
    him weekly. Together, they figured
    out the triggers that provoked him to
    look at pornography and eventually,
    he overcame his addiction.
    Stele said overcoming his addic-
    tion made him want to help others
    with their addictions.
    He said he had several methods
    to help his friends through their
    addictions. In addition to weekly
    phone calls and counseling ses-
    sions, Stele said, he sometimes
    has the addicted friend write a
    Bible verse on a note card to look
    at while walking around on cam-
    pus. That way, the friend can have
    something to look at rather than
    staring lustfully at girls.

    LOS ANGELES Americans
    may be getting more sleep after
    Hollywood writers went on strike
    Monday and forced the nations
    late-night talk shows to start airing
    reruns.
    NBC said The Tonight Show
    with Jay Leno would immediate-
    ly air repeats. Still, Leno made an
    appearance at the Burbank studio,
    arriving on a motorcycle to visit
    strikers walking a picket line.
    CBS said The Late Show with
    David Letterman would also offer
    repeats all week. The list of casual-
    ties included every other major late-
    night show.
    The first strike by Hollywood
    writers in nearly 20 years got under
    way with noisy pickets on both
    coasts after last-minute negotiations
    on Sunday failed to produce a deal
    on payments to writers from shows
    offered on the Internet.
    Nick Counter, chief negotiator
    for the Alliance of Motion Picture
    and Television Producers, said he
    expected a long standoff.
    From our standpoint, we made
    every good faith effort to negotiate
    a deal, and they went on strike, he
    said. At some point, conversations
    will take place. But not now.
    The strike will not immediately
    impact production of movies or
    prime-time TV programs. Most stu-
    dios have stockpiled dozens of movie
    scripts, and TV shows have enough

    Shuttle to fy over Midwest before landing
    BY MARcIA dUNN
    ASSocIATEd PRESS
    CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
    Shuttle Discoverys astronauts sur-
    veyed the wings of their ship Monday
    to ensure a safe descent over the
    American heartland after leaving the
    international space station.
    On the ride home Wednesday,
    the space shuttle will make the
    first coast-to-coast re-entry since
    Columbia shattered in the sky over
    Texas in 2003 and sent tens of thou-
    sands of pounds of wreckage raining
    down on at least two states.
    Discovery was not supposed to
    re-enter over the entire United States
    just Florida after zooming up
    from the southwest over Central
    America and the Caribbean. But that
    original plan would have entailed a
    pre-dawn landing, and shuttle com-
    mander Pamela Melroy preferred
    a safer, easier touchdown in day-
    light, said shuttle program manager
    Wayne Hale.
    This 15-day mission is longer than
    most and more stressful, too, with
    the astronauts impromptu repair to
    the torn solar wing at the space sta-
    tion. As a result, crew fatigue must
    be considered, Hale said.
    Discoverys new path will have it
    descending early Wednesday after-
    noon over the Canadian coast and
    the Pacific Northwest, down across
    the Midwest and the South, and on
    into Florida.
    For an undamaged orbiter and
    well confirm that its undamaged
    this constitutes a very minimal
    and deemed to be a safe risk to fly
    over the middle of the United States,
    Hale said.
    The thorough inspection used
    the same laser- and camera-tipped
    boom that two weeks ago found
    Discoverys heat shield to be free
    of any significant launch damage.
    Mondays check was for any strikes
    by micrometeorites or space junk
    in orbit.
    Engineers will review this late
    data into Tuesday, and only then will
    mission managers give Discovery
    the green light to come home.
    Shuttle Atlantis, meanwhile, is
    being prepped for launch as early as
    Dec. 6 to the space station.

    I
    magine, if you will, the fol-
    lowing scenario: A crowd
    consisting of 200 college
    students piles into a fairly large
    lecture hall late in the afternoon.
    When their class is supposed to
    start, the door opens and an old
    man ambles in, walks down the
    steps and does not seem to mind,
    or even notice, for that matter,
    the people all around him.
    Eventually, he makes his way
    to the front of the class, where
    he sits down at a desk, puts
    up his feet and looks like he is
    ready to take a refreshing nap.
    The catch here is that he stays
    awake, and he talks. And when
    he talks, with a southern accent
    that some people will liken to
    Foghorn Leghorn, it is, of all
    things, a story about a Japa-
    nese woman being plagued by
    a kitsune, a mythical fox which
    brings bad luck upon all those
    that it follows.
    This kind of situation played
    out in front of my eyes a few
    times a week during the fall se-
    mester of my sophomore year
    at KU. I, and evidently every-
    one else who ever took Myths,
    Legends and Folk Belief of East
    Asia, would spend the rest of
    the year raving about not only
    the class, but also about that
    old man who would casually
    walk in and give us a taste of his
    encyclopedic knowledge of the
    various cultures of that part of
    the world.
    Prof. Wallace Johnson did
    not have any gimmick to his lec-
    tures. He didnt have a running
    joke, or some noticeable tic that
    people could snicker at. He just
    talked, and he did it well. What-
    ever the subject, whether it be
    the tortured love of Izanami and
    Izanagi, or how the world as we
    know it is actually the body of a
    dead giant, or even the events of
    a Korean sance, it came as nat-
    urally to Prof. Johnson as foot-
    ball statistics to Al Michaels.
    When he lectured, it was like
    your grandfather was telling
    stories about his youth.
    I write this because, as
    many know by now, Prof.
    Johnson, who introduced
    himself to both classes of his
    that I took that year as Wal-
    ly, passed away recently. Re-
    portedly, he had a heart attack
    and collapsed on his way to the
    Merc to pick up a copy of the
    New York Times. Yes, he died
    getting a newspaper from the
    natural foods market. If there is
    a more KU way to go out, I dont
    want to know about it.
    It was not just the East Asian
    Languages and Cultures depart-
    ment that lost something special
    that day, it was all of KU. Such
    talent in any feld, let alone that
    of a college professor, is a rare
    thing indeed, and all who got
    to listen to Wally Johnson knew
    what a treat they were getting
    when he taught them.
    I feel bad for everyone who is
    going to take one of the classes
    he once taught in the future.
    The course material will still be
    as interesting as it ever was, but
    there will not be that one special
    factor which could captivate
    people week-in and week-out
    that there once was.
    So, sadly, all who were fortu-
    nate enough to take one of Prof.
    Johnsons classes can now only
    fondly remember both the fun
    moments, such as when he pre-
    sented his theory that the long
    drought the KU football team
    had been suffering up to that
    point was due to the poor chi
    fow to Memorial Stadium, and
    the genuinely academic, like his
    ability to recount the creation
    stories of at least three East
    Asian nations by heart, within a
    50-minute class period per story.
    No matter what, he always hold
    the entire classs attention from
    start to fnish.
    Prof. Johnson will be missed
    greatly by those of us who heard
    him speak, and by the entire
    University, which was benefted
    for many years by his unforget-
    table presence.

    Colorado ticketing policy unreasonable
    Fans are unable to purchase single-game tickets to the Kansas game in February
    S
    aturday, Feb. 2, the KU
    mens basketball team
    will travel to Boulder,
    Col., to take on the Colorado
    Buffaloes. When it comes to fan
    attendance, however, it might be
    hard to spot someone in blue.
    Colorados ticketing policy for
    the KU game demands a boy-
    cott.
    Colorado is not selling single-
    game tickets to the KU game
    this year. Instead, fans wishing
    to purchase tickets must do so
    using the U Pickem Pack. The
    package, which includes the KU
    game as well as any two others
    (including conference games),
    comes out to $72.50 ($20 per
    game, plus $3.50 per game in
    fees and a $2 package order
    charge). No other Big 12 game
    is subject to these limitations.
    KU fans living in Colorado
    or western Kansas arent al-
    ways able to make the trip into
    Lawrence to see mens basket-
    ball games at Allen Fieldhouse.
    Their only opportunity to see
    a basketball game this season
    might be traveling to Boulder.
    As a reward for their loyalty,
    theyre made to see two games
    they probably dont care about,
    or pay three times the usual
    ticket price, depending on what
    they do with the other two tick-
    ets in the pack. They could al-
    ways sell the two tickets, but
    then again, Colorado basketball
    isnt exactly a big draw.
    Therein lies the motive for the
    bundling. KU basketball is a big
    draw, and fans travel well.The
    Colorado ticketing program will
    have one of two outcomes: Die-
    hard KU fans will go ahead and
    purchase the pack, providing f-
    nancial and possibly attendance
    support to two meaningless
    games, or many fans will de-
    cline to purchase any tickets at
    all. This doesnt help Colorados
    program fnancially, but it might
    ensure a more friendly home
    crowd at the game.
    It is troubling that Colorados
    athletics department would
    use KUs notoriety and its fans
    dedication to make money. The
    basketball program has worked
    hard to establish one of the best
    teams in the nation, and in re-
    turn, this recognition is exploit-
    ed. With no other conference
    team would this program work.
    The ideal solution would be
    for Colorado to have its own
    outstanding basketball program,
    negating the need to piggyback
    on a successful team. Fans
    should want to purchase non-
    KU game tickets because they
    love seeing the Buffaloes play,
    not because its the only way
    to see a better team. This prac-
    tice is insulting not only to KU,
    but also to the Colorado mens
    basketball team. It insinuates
    that theyre not good enough to
    draw fans on their own. While it
    may be true, it doesnt help the
    Buffaloes morale.
    Colorados ticketing poli-
    cies are their own. It is their
    prerogative to distribute tickets
    as they see ft, but it is not KU
    fans obligation to give in to it.
    If fans quake and purchase the
    U Pickem Pack, it sends the
    message that this ticketing prac-
    tice is a success. It will likely
    stay in place year after year, and
    Colorado will continue to make
    money off of KUs achievement.
    Until Colorado reinstitutes a
    fair ticketing policy, fans should
    refuse to buy the U Pickem
    Pack. Unfortunately, there
    might be more black and gold
    in the stands in Boulder come
    February.
    KU will probably win any-
    way.

    im sorry, but the princess is in
    another castle.
    And im spent.
    I
    ts like my masculinity is
    a handicap. I hear one
    thing but I know Im not
    getting the whole message.
    I swear, women are wonder-
    ful most of the time, but there
    comes the eventual argument
    that makes me want to move to
    Scotland so I can be closer to
    Johnnie Walker.
    When I was a little boy, my
    mother was an 80s feminist. She
    had a bachelors degree and a
    masters degree from a good col-
    lege. Aside from working full-
    time and raking in the dough,
    she and her husband had a
    good marriage and a couple
    sons who, they knew, would
    grow up to be really awesome
    (public approval rating still
    pending).
    My brother and I were
    taught the feminist values
    mixed in with our general
    helping of everyday morality.
    Of course my favorite les-
    son occurred when the little girl
    from across the street hauled off
    and smacked me right across the
    face because shed seen a girl do
    it to a boy in a movie. My moth-
    er grabbed my hand, poised as
    it was in retaliatory action, just
    in time and said, Gentlemen
    dont hit!
    So, ladies, in that moment it
    was made clear to me that if,
    in the future, men and women
    have become militarily opposed
    and both factions are on oppo-
    site sides of the battlefeld (in-
    nies on one side, outies on the
    other) you will have the option
    of frst strike and we will have
    to just quietly awaiting our own
    annihilation.
    Now, forgive me for being
    logical, but Im sick of this.
    Im sick of that old joke, If
    a man speaks in the forest and
    a woman is not there to hear
    him, is he still wrong? Im sick
    of keeping my head down and
    hoping for the best. As a man I
    morally support equality on all
    fronts. Women, homosexuals,
    blacks, Palestinians, Israelis,
    Russians, Venusiansall of us
    should really have a cookout
    and hug. But its getting so that
    when I have a legitimate griev-
    ance and ensuing argument
    with the opposite sex, Im not
    allowed to win on the basis that
    I am a man and therefore habit-
    ually wrong.
    To generalize is dangerous. I
    have won arguments with wom-
    en. But damn it, they are the
    frst to pipe up and say some-
    thing along the lines of, Well
    of course he won, hes so pig-
    headed,
    The fact that I cant hit a girl
    back is fne with me. Im a paci-
    fst, now. I circumvented my re-
    liance on animal justice in the
    7th grade when I nearly injured
    a boy for pushing me too far.
    I dont mind if a woman wins
    her arguments fair and square.
    Power to her! But the girl who
    holds up her hand and says,
    Well, youll never understand
    because youre a man. Thats
    a real sign that Im talking to a
    very nice, pretty, opinionated,
    lazy person who would be rea-
    sonable if only they had some
    sort of respect for how much ef-
    fort it sometimes takes guys like
    me to keep from leaping across
    the table and forgetting that
    rule mom taught us so long ago
    Gentlemen dont hit!

    After a slew of injuries that took her off the
    field for most of last year, senior mid-fielder
    Nicole Cauzillo, from Northville, Mich., has been
    back in action this season on the Kansas soccer
    team. This is Cauzillos last season as a Jayhawk,
    and she is looking to go out with a bang, and a Big
    12 Tournament victory to remember forever.
    Cauzillos Michigan twang makes talking to
    her easy, and her laugh is contagious. Cauzillo has
    spunk and a friendly personality on and off the
    soccer field. Although she has been a dominant
    player this season, Cauzillo claims she has never
    been able to master the perfect game-face.
    Last season, Cauzillo came down with
    mononucleosis and was given a medical red-
    shirt by the NCAA. After missing most of last
    years playing time, she petitioned to regain her
    spot on this years squad. Cauzillo has since
    become the leading scorer on the team with
    five goals and three assists, and has shown her
    teammates, her coach and her fans exactly why
    she deserved her starting spot back.
    Despite a disappointing team record in the
    beginning of the season, the Jayhawks bounced
    back to finish at 7-9-4 overall, and 5-2-3 in Big
    12 play. To help get her team back on the road
    to success, Cauzillo has sometimes had to step
    up as a forward, and pull some of her team-
    mates weight on the field. She said she loved
    playing midfield because she had the opportu-
    nity to play offense and defense if needed.

    When Kansas coach Bill Self talks about
    the trio of Russell Robinson, Sherron Collins
    and Mario Chalmers, he refers to them as the
    three little guards.
    OK, none of them stand taller than 6-feet-
    1-inch, or weigh more than 205 pounds, but
    little? The word seems inappropriate because
    theyre going to play such a large role this
    season.
    Chalmers, Robinson and Collins will
    likely start and spend 15 to 20 minutes on
    the floor together until guard Brandon Rush
    returns from a knee injury. Their presence
    should make the offense a little faster and the
    defense a little tighter.
    It doesnt bother me at all that we play
    three point guards, Self said. The key thing
    is that youve got to have one of them thats
    probably a decent rebounder, and Russell
    can do that. I see us playing very small a lot
    of the time.
    This isnt a new experiment for college
    basketball. Three guards have played togeth-
    er before and played together well. In 2002,
    Kansas started then-freshman point guard
    Aaron Miles alongside senior sharp-shooter
    Jeff Boschee and Kirk Hinrich all three
    had played point guard at some point in their
    KU careers. The Jayhawks went 16-0 in Big
    12 play and earned a Final Four berth. Self s
    old school, Illinois, is another example.
    Guards Dee Brown, Luther Head and
    Deron Williams played nearly every minute
    together for Illinois in the 2004-2005 season.
    None were taller than 6-feet-3-inches. They
    out-sprinted and outsmarted opponents that
    year all the way to the national title game.
    Self s plan is for Chalmers, Robinson and
    Collins to make Kansas just as fast. Earlier
    this season he asked his players whether they
    thought they ran enough. The players said
    not nearly enough.
    With the three little guards in the lineup,
    the team can run until it gets tired and then
    run some more. Collins can move from one
    end of the court to the other as quickly as
    any guard in college basketball. Chalmers
    is one of the best shooters on the team, and
    Robinson rarely makes a bad decision in
    transition.
    The fast-breaking strength of the three
    guards was on display Thursday night against
    Pittsburg State. The team had 15 points in
    transition. Chalmers, Robinson and Collins
    scored a combined 39 points and handed
    out 15 assists.

    Comparing yardage totals from last
    Saturdays game, it would be tough to
    explain the 76-39 shellacking Kansas
    gave Nebraska. After all, the Jayhawks
    outgained the Cornhuskers by only 88
    yards.
    A more telling statistic lies a few
    inches farther down the stat sheet: turn-
    over margin. Nebraska gave the ball away
    five times while Kansas held onto the ball
    on all 90 of its offensive plays. For the
    second consecutive game, Kansas did not
    record a giveaway, stretching its turnover
    margin to plus-16, the second-best in the
    nation.
    One of the key stats for our football
    team is turnover margin, Mangino said.
    Thats a key stat because it means the
    offense is taking care of the ball and the
    defense is getting turnovers and creating
    short fields for the offense. Were doing
    well in that area.
    Kansas is doing better than well in
    the turnover department. Sophomore
    quarterback Todd Reesing has not thrown
    an interception since Oct. 6 at Kansas
    State, a stretch of 139 pass attempts. The
    Jayhawks have not lost a fumble in their
    last two games and have lost only seven
    all season.
    On the other side of the ball, the
    Kansas defense is doing its fair share of
    stealing. The Jayhawks have forced 27
    turnovers, tying for second in the nation.
    Sophomore safety Justin Thornton leads
    the team with four interceptions, and 10
    other Jayhawks have picked off oppo-
    nents passes this season. The team has
    recovered nine fumbles, three of which
    were forced by junior defensive end John
    Larson.

    Coach Mark

    his players
    were sharing
    the honors.
    We dont
    have an entire
    cast of playmakers that would
    be considered the prototype of
    outstanding Division I players,
    Mangino said. We have a lot of

    Trevor Marrongelli, a 6-foot-4,
    285-pound ofensive lineman,
    and Corrigan Powell, a 5-10, 160-
    pound cornerback. Marrongelli,
    a Round Rock, Texas, native, was
    listed as a two-star recruit and
    showed interest in schools such
    as Iowa State, Michigan State and
    Nebraska. Powell, from Garland,

    Thats what we wanted and thats
    what Coach Self wants. He wants
    us to just go and run every chance,
    Collins said. We have to be more
    scrappy because its three guards and
    sometimes theres going to be match-
    up problems. But we just have to go
    to the boards, and if we make people
    shoot bad shots we can run.
    Forcing opponents to miss could
    be a problem. One of the little guards
    will have to defend the three man for
    opposing teams, who will likely be at
    least three inches taller. A taller player
    could post up against Collins, Chalmers
    or Robinson and get rebounds more
    easily. The rebounding problem was
    apparent last Thursday. Pittsburg State,
    a Division II school, out-rebounded
    Kansas 36-33. Chalmers didnt grab a
    single rebound.
    The lack of size could hurt, but
    the trios quickness could make
    up for it. Theyre three of the best
    defenders Kansas has had in recent
    memory when it comes to applying
    pressure and stealing the ball. The
    Sons of Steal Chalmers, Collins
    and Robinson stole the ball nine
    times against Pittsburg State.
    Self wants their defensive inten-
    sity to spread throughout the rest of
    the team. Robinson expects the three
    guards to be team leaders.
    Guys look up to us, and we
    appreciate that, Robinson said. We
    try to be the best example we can,
    and they follow our lead and model
    as great basketball players with great
    work ethic.
    Chalmers, Robinson and Collins
    wont be in the starting lineup all sea-
    son. One of them will likely come off
    the bench once Rush returns, and their
    time on the floor together will dimin-
    ish. Until then, Kansas will have three
    little guards playing a big role, and Self
    couldnt be any more pleased.
    I personally wouldnt trade them
    for anybody, he said. I really believe
    that there are a a lot of good guards in
    the country, and this is the year of the
    point guard theyre saying. Last year
    there were a lot of good big guys. This
    year theres probably more guard play,
    and our guards can match up with
    anybody. All three are good.

    Kansas uncanny ability to hold
    onto the ball stood in bold con-
    trast to Nebraskas sloppy offense
    last weekend.
    Nebraska quar-
    terback Joe
    Ganz, making
    his first career
    start, heaved the
    ball into heavy
    coverage repeat-
    edly and ended
    the game with
    four interceptions. Reesing threw
    more touchdowns in one game
    against the Nebraska defense (six)
    than he has thrown interceptions
    all season (four).
    He played lights-out, Mangino
    said. He was patient when he had
    to be on his reads and got the ball
    to the open guy. He also did a good
    job of knowing when to throw the
    ball and when to pull it down.
    The Jayhawks opportunistic
    streak is not coincidental play-
    ers and coaches alike cite the
    importance of
    keeping the
    teams turn-
    over margin in
    plus territory.
    Senior running
    back Brandon
    McAnders on
    said the teams
    9-0 start was
    directly correlated to the teams
    ability to take care of the ball, and
    senior wide receiver Marcus Henry
    credited Reesing for his four con-
    secutive interception-free games.
    The biggest thing is our turn-
    over margin. As of today were
    plus-13 or something on turn-
    over margin, junior center Ryan
    Cantrell said. Thats huge because
    it adds a little bit more fuel to the
    fire and makes us want to protect
    the ball.
    Cantrell may not have his turn-
    over margin numbers exactly cor-
    rect, but he has the general idea:
    Taking care of the ball and taking
    the ball away from opponents have
    helped Kansas to a 9-0 start and the
    No. 4 spot in the BCS rankings.

    My focus is to get a point, wheth-
    er its an assist or a goal, for the sake
    of my team, she said. And she has.
    Cauzillo has three three-point con-
    tests this season and has recorded a
    goal and an assist in games against
    Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and
    Nebraska this year.
    This season Cauzillo has also
    recorded the most shot attempts
    at 13, and she has a 76.9 percent
    shots on goal mark. In her career at
    Kansas, she has scored a total of nine
    goals, taken 87 shot attempts 45
    of those on goal and had three
    game-winning goals.
    Path to Kansas
    Cauzillo began playing with a
    soccer ball when she was three years
    old. Always having looked up to her
    older sister, who also played soccer,
    Cauzillo began playing competitively
    at age eight. She stayed on the same
    club team, the Michigan Hawks, for
    eight years. After the team won a
    national championship, it was time
    for Cauzillo to take the next step
    and left to play at West Virginia
    University. She said the schools
    record drew her to it initially.
    During her freshman year, she
    started all 23 matches with the
    Mountaineers, and recorded three
    goals and two assists on the season.
    Unhappy with the dynamic of the
    team, Cauzillo began to look at her
    options for transferring.
    Her desire to regain the same
    sense of unity shed had playing
    on her club team led her to the
    University of Kansas for her sopho-
    more year.
    I had heard good things about
    Coach Francis, she said. I really
    liked the team and the campus. I
    think the KU campus is one of the
    most beautiful there is.
    During her sophomore year,
    Cauzillo was named Big 12
    Newcomer of the Week, started 18
    games and came in third on the
    team with 14 points for the season.
    Her junior year, she served as a
    co-captain for the Jayhawks. In the
    fall, she suffered a concussion after
    an Oklahoma State player butted
    heads with her in a chase for the
    ball. NCAA mandates that a player
    suffering from a concussion must
    sit out from games for three weeks
    after the injury a large part of the
    season. During the spring, Cauzillo,
    excited to get back on the field, dis-
    covered she had mono and was given
    a medical red shirt for the remainder
    of the season.
    Now Cauzillo is back on the field
    and racking up points. She said it
    felt really good to be doing so well
    this season.
    It was hard to get back into the
    speed of play, she said, I missed
    soccer a lot.
    She is especially happy to be sans
    injuries. Well, except for one. During
    the summer before her senior year,
    Cauzillo played on a semi-profes-
    sional team, and in an attempt to
    score, she headed the ball into the
    net, but landed awkwardly on her
    hand. The goal was scored, but she
    ended up with more than a sense
    of accomplishment she had torn
    the muscle from the bone in her
    thumb. The injury still requires that
    she wear a brace, although it doesnt
    have much of an effect on Cauzillos
    game.
    Ecstatic to be back on the field
    for her final season, one of Cauzillos
    personal goals is to make it through
    smoothly.
    I think my injuries have taught
    me a lot, Cauzillo said. Theyve
    been stuff I can recover from. But
    I want to finish this season injury-
    free.
    suPPorters
    Cauzillo has a huge support
    group to get her through this season.
    Her mother, Linda Cauzillo, tries
    to make it to every home game and
    travels to Kansas from Michigan to
    also hang out with her daughter on
    the weekends.
    Her boyfriend of two years, senior
    Aurom Mahobian, travels on the
    road with her as much as he can. He
    also wears Cauzillos jersey when he
    watches her games and his pride in
    his girlfriend is obvious.
    She makes really good passes,
    and she has really good touches. She
    just plays really smart and makes
    her teammates better, Mahobian
    said. When she plays the whole 90
    minutes, she can really control the
    pace of the game. She has so much
    energy, and she is always running.
    Shes overcome a lot.
    In addition to her mom and boy-
    friend, her biggest fans just might
    be her younger cousins, who come
    from Overland Park to cheer her on.
    Sometimes they come with big signs,
    and other times they can be heard
    yelling words of encouragement so
    loudly that its hard not to join in.
    Her youngest cousin, seven-year-old
    Jack Krebs, said he liked watching
    Cauzillo and especially liked to see
    her score goals.
    It seems as though everyone,
    including her coach, is proud of
    Cauzillo, considering the odds shes
    had to overcome and how well she
    has performed this season.
    I think its good that she stuck
    it out. Shes had a couple of rough
    seasons. Shes taken advantage of the
    opportunity knowing that there was
    a possibility she wouldnt have been
    playing, coach Mark Francis said.
    Shes very persistent. Im happy for
    her.
    Cauzillo has also earned hon-
    ors this year, by receiving nods
    from organizations outside of the
    University. She was selected in her
    junior year and this year for the
    Academic All-District 7 Second
    Team by ESPN The Magazine in late
    October. Cauzillo is also a two-time
    Academic All-Big 12 First Team
    selection, and is eligible to be named
    to the team again this year.
    the future
    As a senior, Cauzillo wont be able
    to play games with the team for the
    spring season. However, she said
    coach Francis would be allowing her
    to practice with the team, because
    she plans to go on a mission trip to
    Ethiopia with a semi-professional
    soccer team in the summer.
    With her last game of the reg-
    ular season behind her and the
    Big 12 Soccer Championships rap-
    idly approaching, the question of
    what she will do next isnt far off.
    Cauzillo will graduate in May with
    a degree in English and has high
    hopes for what shell do after her
    summer is over.
    Im applying for Teach for
    America. I would love to be in
    Denver, and thats where I put as my
    most preferred spot. I would like to
    coach a younger team as well, she
    said.
    Soccer-wise, Cauzillo hopes to
    see her team make it far in the Big
    12 championship and the NCAA
    tournament this season. Cauzillos
    dedication to the sport she loves,
    determination to make her last sea-
    son the best and her overall ambition
    for success just might get herself and
    her teammates there.

    REUNITED
    Former coach and player were
    reunited briefy as senior forward
    Taylor McIntosh faced her former
    high school coach, Pittsburg States
    recently appointed Lane Lord, for the
    frst time in college. The two com-
    bined to win back-to-back 6A state
    championships at Wichita Heights
    during McIntoshs sophomore and
    junior seasons as well as four straight
    City League titles. The duo led the
    Falcons to 89 victories in four years
    while losing only eight times.
    I love Taylor,Lord said. She is like a
    daughter to me, and I was really proud
    of her. Obviously, she has become a
    really oustanding student athlete.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS
    Three freshmen made their Kansas
    debuts Sunday
    afternoon in the
    Jayhawks 82-48
    victory against
    Pittsburg State.
    Forward Nicollette
    Smith led the trio
    with nine points,
    shooting 2-for-3
    from long range and 3-for-4 from the
    free throw line.

    otherteammates,Smithsaidof how
    herthree-pointabilitieshelptheoffense.
    Oncetheyhelp, myteammatesknow
    wheretofindme, andI knockitdown.
    Forward Krysten Boogaard, the
    tallest player
    on the team
    at 6-foot-fve,
    struggled with her
    shooting, going
    0-of-4. But her
    physical play on
    the block landed
    her on the charity
    stripe frequently,
    where she was 6-for-8. Boogaard also
    grabbed fve rebounds. Chakeitha
    Weldon didnt see a lot of playing
    time, but she did make a quick impact.
    Weldon made her only shot and also
    recorded a steal.
    LINE CHANGE
    A big advantage to exhibition
    games is the opportunity to try out
    diferent line-ups and give players the
    chance to prove themselves on the
    court. Thirteen diferent players saw
    the court Sunday afternoon, with nine
    of them getting at least 10 minutes of
    playing time.
    THE BIG CHEER
    The loudest cheer from Allen Field-
    house on Sunday wasnt for a team, a
    player or even a specifc play. Rather,
    it came when the latest BCS rankings,
    with Kansas at No. 4, were displayed
    on the big screen midway through
    the second half. Kansas and Pittsburg
    State fans alike joined together in the
    roaring applause.
    BONNIE ON...
    ...the Jayhawks defense Sunday
    afternoon:
    Defensively weve got to be
    much, much better. Im sure Ill be
    nauseous when I look at it tonight.
    Just our ability to contain one on one
    was terrible, absolutely terrible.

    I
    t might have been the best sin-

    Tickets were scarce, records were
    broken and wow, the statistics
    were astronomical. No, Im not talk-
    ing about the Kansas vs. Nebraska
    game on Saturday. Im talking about
    Garth Brooks selling out nine con-
    secutive shows at the Sprint Center
    in Kansas City, Mo., on Oct. 5. Who
    sells 140,000 tickets in one day?
    Are you kidding me? Lets see Todd
    Reesing do that. The first show was
    last night, and Brooks will be head-
    lining shows through Nov. 12 with a
    final show on Nov. 14. So in honor
    of the greatest entertainer in music
    history, heres the first annual Garth
    Brooks Song Dedication Spectacular.
    DEDICATED TO
    BRANDON RUSH: Garth Brooks
    Unanswered Prayers
    Rush declared for the NBA draft
    and was all set to cash in on a huge
    NBA payday. Unfortunately, Rushs
    ACL had other ideas. After having
    surgery to repair his knee, Rush is
    a few weeks away from stepping
    back on the floor for the Jayhawks.
    Nobody knows how Rush will
    perform, but if he is able to lead
    Kansas to the Final Four in March
    and then find a spot in the NBA
    lottery in June, he might just realize
    that, as Garth Brooks says, Some of
    Gods greatest gifts are unanswered
    prayers.
    DEDICATED TO THE KANSAS
    FOOTBALL TEAM: Garth Brooks
    Callin Baton Rouge
    So Baton Rouge, La., isnt tech-
    nically New Orleans. In fact, the
    cities are 81 miles apart. But if the
    Jayhawks miraculously find a way
    to win out theyd have to beat
    Missouri at Arrowhead Stadium and
    Oklahoma in the Big 12 champion-
    ship in San Antonio they would
    all be assured a spot in the BCS
    National Championship game at the
    Superdome in New Orleans. Believe
    it, four victories in the next four
    weeks catapults Kansas over any one-
    loss teams in the BCS ranking.
    DEDICATED TO RUNNING BACK
    BRANDON MCANDERSON:
    Garth BrooksThe Thunder Rolls
    The guy they call B-Mac is the
    Thunder to Jake Sharps lighting.
    And McAnderson has definitely
    been rolling lately. McAnderson
    is averaging 151.5 yards rushing
    in his last two games. The only
    question: Why it took five years
    McAnderson took a redshirt
    for Kansas coaches to realize that
    McAnderson could run the ball
    and run it well?
    DEDICATED TO NEBRASKA
    FOOTBALL FANS: Garth Brooks
    Friends in Low Places
    All right, I know the game was
    last weekend, and everybody is pil-
    ing on the Huskers. But 76 points? I
    havent seen a defensive performance
    that bad since (insert disaster war
    reference here). You have to feel for
    Nebraska. Imagine if Kansas basket-
    ball ever went into a funk like that.
    The campus would be comatose. But,
    hey, at least wed still have football.
    Wow, I didnt ever think Id say that.

    The Kansas tennis team closed its
    slate of fall tournaments this week-
    end at the Seminole Invitational
    at Florida State
    University.
    Kansas play-
    ers had a strong
    showing, notch-
    ing several vic-
    tories in both
    singles and
    doubles play. The
    doubles duo of
    junior Yuliana
    Svistun and sophomore Kunigunda
    Dorn paved the way for the Jayhawks
    this weekend taking runner-up in the
    gold bracket on Saturday. The tandem
    won two straight before falling 8-5 in
    the championship match. The second
    place finish was impressive as this was
    only the third time Svistun and Dorn
    have played doubles together this fall.
    In other doubles play, the fresh-
    man tandem of Maria Martinez and
    Mymee Tokuda won its first match
    in the black bracket before losing
    in the semifinals. The 36th ranked
    duo of senior Elizaveta Avdeeva
    and Edina Horvath were eliminat-
    ed in the opening round.
    Svistun led the way for Kansas in
    singles play by taking third place in
    the black bracket.
    The third place
    victory gives
    Svistun a 10-4
    mark in over-
    all singles play
    this fall season.
    Martinez took
    fourth place in
    the pink bracket,
    and junior Edina Horvath finished
    fifth in the gold bracket.
    The Kansas squad entered this fall
    season with goals to win as many
    matches as possible and to improve
    individually in preparation for the
    spring season. The team takes a cham-
    pionship singles victory and two dou-
    bles runner-up finishes as highlights
    of a strong fall campaign. In addition,
    freshmen Martinez and Tokuda post-
    ed victories this fall, and their progress
    is an encouraging sign for the spring.
    The second half of the season
    begins Jan. 16 when the team
    heads to Honolulu, for the Hawaii
    Tournament. Dual match play starts
    Feb. 2 at Arkansas.

    The womens rowing team trav-
    eled to Chattanooga, Tenn., this
    weekend to compete in the Head
    of the Chattahoochee regatta. The
    team participated in four events
    on Saturday and
    four on Sunday.
    On Saturday,
    Kansas placed
    first in the light-
    weight four.
    Senior Elisheva
    P a t t e r s o n ,
    junior Kristin
    Deckert, sopho-
    mores Katie Beall and Abby Green
    and junior coxswain Lexie Peterson
    finished in 20:12.2. Their time was
    six seconds ahead of Georgia Tech
    and 16 seconds ahead of Ohio State.
    Seniors Kara Boston and Alia Bober
    finished fifth in the championship
    double race.
    On Sunday, with an extra hour
    of sunshine, the team brought
    home three medals from the
    four races that day. In the open
    four, Kansas placed third behind
    Oklahoma City and Duke. Katie
    Beall placed second in the nov-
    ice single race, while Elisheva
    Patterson finished second in the
    lighweight single. Kara Boston
    placed fourth in the champion-
    ship single.
    On Sunday, the novice squad
    competed in the Frostbite Regatta
    in Wichita.
    Kansas placed
    first and third in
    the first novice
    eight race. In
    the second nov-
    ice eight race,
    Kansas placed
    first and second.
    In the varsity
    eight race, the squad finished fifth.

    ROWING
    Team fares well in Head of the Hooch regatta
    Patterson
    Deckert
    Less than nothing. Fort Hays
    State is signifcantly worse than
    Pittsburg State. The Tigers were
    picked to fnish lower than the
    Gorillas in the MIAA Conference.
    Once again, this is an exhibition
    game, and those never matter.
    That doesnt mean Kansas
    should take Fort Hays State
    lightly. The Jayhawks need to
    focus because the real season
    starts Friday.
    Freshman center Cole Aldrich
    played well in his Kansas debut.
    At Late Night, he looked timid
    and out of
    place. The
    guards
    stripped the
    ball from him
    every time
    he touched
    it. Last week,
    Aldrich led
    the team in
    rebounds with six and scored
    eight points on four of six
    shooting. More importantly, he
    looked graceful and controlled.
    Will anyone have a perfor-
    mance as good as Michael
    Beasleys?
    For those who hadnt heard,
    Beasley, a KSU freshman, hurt
    Fort Hays State in every way
    imaginable for Kansas State.
    Beasley fnished with 35 points,
    15 rebounds, four assists, six
    steals and four blocks in only
    28 minutes. No one for Kansas
    will do that tonight, but look
    for Darrell Arthur to have a big
    game.
    The guy I was most pleased
    with tonight was Cole (Aldrich).
    Cole has been battling against
    Sasha (Kaun), Darnell (Jackson)
    and Shady (Arthur) everyday. You
    see today when he doesnt have
    to play against them, he looks
    better. He was active and looked
    more athletic, and he made a
    great blocked shot that he drew
    a foul on. I thought he looked
    pretty good. There are some good
    things, but we have a long way to
    go before we play next Friday.
    - Bill Self, coach, on Aldrichs
    debut.
    I have a lot of size on a lot
    of players on the team and just
    my strength is defense. I love
    playing defense. I guard Darnell
    Jackson in practice and its
    defnitely helped me defen-
    sively just guarding and getting
    banged up down there and
    getting dunked on by Shady. Its
    defnitely helped me.
    -Rodrick Stewart, senior guard
    The projecTed sTarTing five
    Russell Robinson, senior guard
    Robinson only shot the ball four times last week
    against Pittsburg State, but Kansas only needs him
    to score when he is open. As long as he makes the
    occasional three-pointer and distributes the ball like
    he always does, the ofense will be fne.
    Mario Chalmers, junior guard
    He disappeared in the second half after scoring all
    14 of his points in the frst against the Gorillas. But that
    frst half was special. Chalmers looked like he wouldnt
    miss a three-pointer for the rest of his career.
    Sherron Collins, sophomore guard
    That whole weight problem thing? Forget about
    it. Collins looks like he is in great shape. If he stays in
    this good of shape all season, pencil him in for the
    All-Big 12 First Team.
    Darrell Arthur, sophomore forward
    Will somebody please look for Arthur in the post
    early in the game? He was ready to take over once the
    second half started, but he needs the ball.
    Sasha Kaun, senior center
    You hate to say theres pressure on
    someone during an exhibition game,
    but Kaun must do a better job on the
    glass. He had one rebound in 15 min-
    utes against much smaller players
    last week.
    The sixTh man
    Rodrick Stewart,
    senior guard
    Stewart had the most
    impressive performance last
    week. He went
    to the free-throw line 11 times
    and made nine shots. He only made
    3 of 11 free throws all last season.
    Mark Dent
    Just like Pittsburg State
    last Thursday, Fort Hays State
    has nothing to lose. Nobody
    expects Fort Hays State to
    stay within 40 points. Its an
    opportunity for the players to
    see how they stack up against
    All-American talents like Darrell
    Arthur and Mario Chalmers.
    This game is also a great recruit-
    ing tool. Fort Hays head coach
    Mark Johnson can say, Come to
    Fort Hays, and youll get to play
    in Allen Fieldhouse. Fort Hays
    State fell to Kansas State 95-59
    on Saturday and surrendered
    35 points to KSU freshman Mi-
    chael Beasley. The Tigers of Fort
    Hays can hold their heads high
    if they can stay closer to Kansas
    than they did to Kansas State.
    Everybody. Well, actually
    everybodys jersey. Fort Hays
    State University announced in
    September that it was thinking
    about changing its name to the
    University of Western Kansas.
    Edward H. Hammond said
    recently that a decision on the
    change would come in late De-
    cember. This development could
    end up being more exciting
    than the game. Stay tuned
    Could Kansas still defeat
    Fort Hays State if it played
    without its top six players?
    Lets say Russell Robinson, Ma-
    rio Chalmers, Sheron Collins, Sasha
    Kaun, Darrell Arthur and Darnell
    Jackson all came down with food
    poisoning. Would Kansas still win?
    Well, youd probably see a starting
    line-up of freshman Tyrel Reed,
    senior Jeremy Case, senior Rodrick
    Stewart, junior Matt Kleinmann,
    and freshman Cole Aldrich. Kansas
    would probably still have the
    talent advantage against a Fort
    Hays State team that was picked
    to fnish seventh in the MIAA.
    Freshman Conner Teahan would
    provide some outside shooting
    of the bench, and Bill Self might
    be forced to pull the red-shirt of
    sophomore Brady Morningstar to
    provide some depth.
    Hes a great player. Hes long,
    athletic, strong, and he can score
    in every way there is. He can shoot
    the ball, he can drive it or he can
    post it. What are you going to take
    away from him? If you take one
    part of it away, he can fnd another
    way to score, and I think that is
    what makes him such a great
    player. Theres a variety of ways he
    can put the ball in the hole,
    Fort Hays State coach Mark
    Johnson on Kansas State Fresh-
    man Michael Beasley, after
    Beasley scored 35 points against
    his team on Saturday night.
    The projecTed sTarTing five
    Tyrone Evans, junior guard
    Evans led the Tigers with 32 minutes played in
    their frst game of the season against Kansas State
    on Saturday. Evans fnished 11 points and seven
    assists. Hes also from Aurora, Ill., the home-town of
    Mike Myerss character in Waynes World.
    Charles Robinson, junior guard
    A 6-1 guard from South Carolina, Robinson
    played 28 minutes and scored eight points against
    K-State. And no, hes not related to Russell.
    Jake Sims, senior guard
    Sims is a transfer from Gardner-Webb University
    in North Carolina. Sims was 3-3 from three-point
    range in Fort Hays States frst game against Kansas
    State on Saturday. Sims is the type of player where
    the defense yells, Shooter every time he catches it.
    Ryan Herrman, sophomore forward
    A 6-6 forward from Abilene, Kan., Herrman played
    in 27 games for the Tigers last season, but started
    none. Herrman started and played 23 minutes against
    Kansas State on Saturday, fnishing with two points.
    Shawn Emerick, junior forward
    Emerick is another transfer. He played last
    season at John Wood Community College.
    Emerick fnished with six points in 20
    minutes against Kansas State.
    The sixTh man
    LaTravis Turner, junior forward
    Turner played 20
    minutes off the bench
    against K-State and finished
    with eight points. Hes a
    transfer from Northeast-
    ern Community College
    in Colorado.

    Tyrel Reed gets plenty of playing time. Reed was the one
    of the most exciting players to watch last week. This is an
    exhibition game and no one cares about the score. People
    care about entertainment. Reed is young, drives to the
    basket well and shoots the ball from the outside. He could
    be special, and he needs to prove that he can be part of the
    rotation before Brandon Rush comes back. His defense still
    needs improvement though. He got burned multiple times of
    the dribble against Pittsburg State. The Fieldhouse will be rock-
    ing if Cole Aldrich and Conner Teahan get some playing time
    too. These early games are all about new faces. Bring on the
    freshmen.
    107-38
    Kansas could be up by 40 points at halftime. This prediction could be
    a bit of an exaggeration but dont be surprised if it really does get out of
    hand by this much.
    Witherspoon Meter
    Will senior walk-on Brad Witherspoon get the opportunity to play
    tonight? This meter tells all. very High

    phog allen will roll over in
    his grave if...
    Kansas gets out-rebounded again by a Division II
    opponent. Yeah, thats right. The Gorillas from little ol
    Pittsburg who play in the MIAA out-rebounded a front
    line that includes two McDonalds All-Americans. Sure,
    it was a preseason game but the Jayhawksperfor-
    mance on the glass was embarrassing. Now they are
    facing an even weaker opponent in Fort Hays State that got
    out-rebounded by Kansas State by 20. Sasha Kaun, Darrell Arthur and
    one of Kansasguards need to grab some rebounds to ensure that last
    Thursdays performance was a fuke. Defense as a whole also needs
    to improve for the Jayhawks. The Gorillas shot 40 percent from the
    feld. Kansas showed it could apply the same pressure as last year
    on the perimeter, but the enforcement inside was sub-par.
