story to hear the KU Trumpet Ensemble

Peixiang Li sat alone on stage,
the spotlight gleaming off his
trumpet. Waiting behind the judg-
es was an audience made up of
trumpet players from all over the
world. Li pursed his lips against
his instrument and took a deep
breath.
Required to play eight songs,
back to back, all chosen by judg-
es because of their difficulty, Li
began to produce a clear, ring-
ing sound in their ears. Li, a
senior from Beijing, was chosen
as one of three finalists in the
2010 International Trumpet Guild
Conferences Orchestral Excerpts
competition in Sydney, Australia,
over the summer.
He became the first Chinese
national citizen to be chosen as a
finalist in this 30-year-old compe-
tition that is open to all trumpet
players in the world under the
age of 25.
Also in the audience sat some
of the members of the Kansas
University Trumpet Ensemble,
including Lis professor and con-
ductor Steve Leisring. Leisring
placed third in the same competi-
tion in 1988.
Its kind of like Olympic div-
ing, Leisring said, you just set
and go.
Despite the quiet in the air, and
a stage only occupied by himself
and his trumpet, Li said he didnt
have time to be nervous. He was
randomly chosen to perform
before the other two finalists.
I just had to grab the horn and
play, Li said.
Li didnt remember much from
his performance. He said it blew
by him, and all he really remem-
bered was all the work he did to
enter the competition. Te work
paid off Li left Australia this
summer with a second place fin-
ish.
Lis mother had traveled from
China to Australia to watch her
son, the first University of Kansas
student to make it to the finals
of the Orchestral Excerpt com-
petition, perform. Li said she was
happy to see his success. But for
himself, he was happier to get a
chance to go home. He had come
to the University four years ago to
study music and he said he was
happy that the whole process was
over and he could finally relax.
For more than a year, Li worked
on perfecting the songs he need-
ed to send to the Trumpet Guild
judges to make it into the finals.
It was painful, Li said. I never
got satisfied.
Li would record songs that
he thought he played well, then
listen to them and would rarely

Four Loko: legalized cocaine in a can.
Tats how Urban Dictionary, a popular
website that defnes slang terms, describes
the cafeinated, alcoholic beverage.
Four Loko seems to be sweeping the na-
tion but not without controversy.
Afer college students in two states were
sent to the hospital afer drinking Four
Loko, universities, cities and states are en-
couraging bans on the beverages.
THE DRINK
Te drink comes in a 23.5-ounce can and
contains 12 percent alcohol roughly the
equivalent of drinking four to fve 12-ounce
beers. Te cafeine content is about the same
as a cup of cofee.
Mike Hathaway, manager of Cork and
Barrel, 2000 W. 23rd St., said his store start-
ed carrying Four Loko about a month and
a half ago.
As soon as we got it in, it started fying
of the shelves, he said.
Nathan Boehr, a senior from Topeka, said
he frst heard of the drink a few months ago
when some friends bought it. Since then, he
said hes had the drink on three occasions.
One can was defnitely enough to get me
a buzz, he said.

It began as an accident.
In June of 1970, when then
KU-student David Stout turned in
his final dissertation on homosexu-
ality he had no idea that it would
eventually lead to the formation of
KUs Queers and Allies.
I said I was done, Stout said in a
pre-recorded interview. All that was
left was to get the grade.
That was before one of Stouts
interviewees, a student at Lawrence
High School, sought him out and
asked Stout what he planned to
do now that he had completed his
paper. When Stout replied nothing,
the student was less than thrilled.
I believe he shouted, what a
fucking waste of time, and stormed
out, Stout said. Their next encoun-
ter also yielded a surprising event
when the student arrived in Stouts
office and handed him a small flier.
The flier read, Out of the Johns and
Onto the Streets and as Stouts eyes
scanned further down the page, he
noticed that his name and contact
information had been written on the
very bottom.
The student had just finished
posting dozens of similar fliers
up and down Jayhawk Boulevard.
Without ever volunteering, Stout
realized that he had no choice but to
go beyond his paper and form a gay
liberation group.
In many ways, this boy carried
the idea, the seed and he impreg-
nated me, Stout said. He never did
come to any meetings. He left me to
nurse the baby.
This was one of the many stories
shared last night at the Queers and
Allies 40th Anniversary Party in the
Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
Around 20 people, both young and
old, gathered together to learn about
the history of the organization and
see documents critical to the for-
mation of one of the nations first
campus gay rights group.
There were some pretty gutsy
students, Tami Albin, the advisor

According to the Multicultural

Page was appointed as direc-
tor of the ofce in June 2000.

The Kansan earns
top website award
The university daily Kansans
website, Kansan.com, was named
one of the best college media
websites in the country last week.
The Associated Collegiate Press
awarded the site its highest honor,
the Pacemaker, at its annual con-
ference in Louisville, Kent., Oct. 30.
Kansan.com was one of 11 sites
given the award, out of nearly 300
candidates, according to the ACP.
The contest was judged by a panel
of professionals who noted that
the most successful sites displayed
excellence in multimedia story
telling, writing and editing, site
design, in-depth and complete
coverage, interactivity, and graph-
ics and photography,a Pacemaker
press release read.
during the judgement period
last spring Lauren Cunningham,
2009 graduate, was managing
editor for Kansan.com; haley
Jones, 2009 graduate, was Web
editor; and Stephen Montemayor,
a senior from Mission, was editor-
in-chief. david Cawthon, a senior
from Lenexa, is the current Kan-
san.com managing editor; Abbey
Strusz, a senior from republic, Mo.,
is Web editor and Alex Garrison,
a senior from Kansas City, Kan., is
editor-in-chief.
Kansan.com also won the on-
line Pacemaker in 2007 and 2008.

Boehr said he thought college
students were attracted to the
drink for three reasons: its cheap,
its potent and it tastes good.
A can of Four Loko is about
$2.50.
It gives you a lot of bang for
your buck, he said.
Amanda Allison, a senior from
Prairie Village, said she thought
people could get carried away and
forget how strong it is because the
drink is deceiving.
You feel like youre drinking
pop, she said. So its easy.
Allison said she started buying
Four Loko in August because it
reminded her of a similar drink
called Sparks, which contains 6
percent alcohol a lower per-
centage than Four Loko.
It doesnt take that much to get
you drunk, Allison said.
But that could be a problem.
HEALTH
Mixing cafeine and alcohol isnt
a new concept. From vodka Red
Bulls to rum and Cokes, the two
have coincided for some time.
In June 2008, the Journals of
American College Health released
a report stating 26 percent of col-
lege students reported drinking al-
cohol and energy drinks together.
Jenny McKee, health educator
at the Wellness Resource Center
at Watkins Memorial Health Cen-
ter, said she heard of Four Loko
in spring 2009. Te drink was be-
coming popular in other areas in
the nation, but hadnt made it to
Kansas yet, she
said.
McKee said the
combination of
alcohol and caf-
feine could be
dangerous. Te
two substances
are essentially op-
posites.
Anytime you
layer drugs, theres
defnitely going to be a reaction in
your body, she said.
Alcohol is a depressant. Cafeine
is a stimulant.
Alcohol slows down bodily func-
tions like heart rate and breath-
ing. Cafeine
increases heart
rate and alert-
ness. Te com-
bination could
potentially be
heart-stopping,
McKee said.
Te mix of
alcohol and caf-
feine could also
lead to a de-
layed drunk.
McKee said the cafeine content
could mask the potency of the
alcohol, causing people to drink
more.
Te combination can also be
dangerous because cafeine and al-
cohol are both diuretics, she said.
A diuretic is a drug that causes
increased urination, which could
lead to consumers becoming de-
hydrated more quickly.
Emily Gnefnow, a junior from
Wichita, said she learned about
Four Loko on Facebook.
She said that shes not going
to try Four Loko because she has
heard how dangerous the drink
can be.
I can drink other things, not
get sick, and still have fun, she
said.
THE BAN
Four Loko and other cafeinated
alcoholic beverages are receiv-
ing attention from
lawmakers around
the country.
In October, nine
students at Cen-
tral Washington
University in El-
lensburg, Wash.,
and 23 students at
Ramapo College
in Mahwah, N.J.,
went to the hos-
pital afer consuming Four Loko
drinks. Teir blood alcohol level
ranged from 0.12 percent to 0.35
percent.
In a recent Associated Press ar-
ticle, Steven Schmidt, vice presi-
dent of public
policy for the
National Alco-
holic Beverage
Control As-
sociation, said
the cafeine
and alcohol
combination is
causing worry.
Teres a
lot of concern
about whether
combining these two is a good
idea, Schmidt said.
Lawmakers in the states of
Washington and New York City
are working to ban the drink.
Te Pennsylvania Liquor Con-
trol Board sent letters to alcohol
distributors in the state asking
them to remove alcoholic energy
drinks from their shelves, accord-
ing to a recent article in Te Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
Oregon Partnerships, a group
that promotes alcohol awareness
in Oregon, also wants Four Loko
of the shelves. According to a
press release, Oregon Partnership
is urging the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration to ban all alcoholic
energy drinks. Te press release
states that the group feels the drink
is targeted toward minors.
Several calls to the Kansas Al-
coholic Beverage Control were not
answered.
But Four Loko isnt the only
beverage thats being scrutinized.
Last November, the FDA sent
letters to 30 companies that man-
ufacture beverages containing a
mixture alcohol and cafeine. Te
FDA asked for proof that the com-
panies drinks were safe, according
to an FDA press release. Te FDA
is still conducting a safety review.

feel pleased with the result. He
always felt he could do better.
Steven Sharp, a fellow member
of the Kansas University Trumpet
Ensemble, and a senior from St.
Louis, said it takes hours of listen-
ing to the material and practicing
the fundamentals to hone a per-
sons trumpet skills.
You can tell he puts in the
work, Sharp said.
Taught by members of the
Chinese army band in middle
school and high school, Li hasnt
put down a trumpet since he was
11 years old. He began playing the
Chinese national anthem and other
songs before following a mentor to
a music conservatory in China to
study. When he found out that his
mentor was changing his focus
from what Li wanted to do, he sent
a e-mail to Leisring to see if he
could come study under him.
Now, over halfway through the
fall semester, Li says everything is
back to normal. The experience he
gained has given him some added
confidence, as you can tell as he
looks you in the eye as he speaks.
He now plays the principle posi-
tion for the KU Wind Ensemble,
one of the Universitys top per-
forming groups.
Leisring said he was actually
happy for Lis winning second
instead of first. He said the com-
petition is meant to be practice for
Orchestral Auditions, which can
be just as full of pressure as what
Li experienced in Australia. If he
wouldve placed first, Li wouldnt
be able to enter the competition
again in 2011, but now Li defi-
nitely plans on entering it again.
The competition will be held in
Minneapolis.
Li plans to play in an orches-
tra when he graduates. He said it
doesnt matter if it is here in the
United States or in China. He just
wants to continue to create the
music that has already taken him
all over the world.

of Queers and Allies said. At a
time when it wasnt safe to be a gay
person; a lot of people took a lot of
risks to make this group happen.
When the group first began
to meet, Rich Crank, a Lawrence
resident, recalls how they werent
even allowed to meet on campus.
We had to meet over at the
ECM, Crank said. It really nice
to have a place where we could
all get together and just talk and
hang out.
Eventually, Queers and Allies
won the right to meet on cam-
pus after the same students
who formed the group took the
University to court.
Here they were, students with
no money and they were taking
KU to court, Albin said. It takes
a lot to do that.
Today, Queers and Allies has
established itself as a major orga-
nization on campus. While mem-
bers of the group acknowledge
that LGBT rights has come a long
way since the 70s, they still feel
that there is a lot they can do to
help obtain equal rights for people
of all sexual orientations.
In 40 years Id like people in
the group to have a conversation
about what they no longer have to
do, Albin said. Things like, do
you remember when we couldnt
get married? Do you remember
when there was a time when we
didnt feel safe? Its a continuous
fight but it is getting better.

NATIoNAL
Californians vote against
pot-legalizing proposition
AssociAted Press
LOS ANGELES It seemed an
easy sell in California: The state
that gave us medical marijuana
would allow pot for recreation.
Then came the ads, newspaper
editorials and politicians, warning
of a world where stoned drivers
would crash school buses, nurses
would show up at work high and
employers would be helpless to
fire drug-addled workers.
A day after voters rejected
Proposition 19, marijuana advo-
cates wondered how they failed in
trendsetting, liberal California.
Was it the fear of the unknown?
An older electorate more likely to
oppose pot? Voters reluctant to
go any further than they already
had with the nations most lax
pot laws?
Whatever the reason, activists
vowed Wednesday to push on in
California, as well as in states
that rejected other pot measures
Tuesday.
Social change doesnt happen
overnight, said Paul Armentano,
deputy director of the National
Organization for Repeal of
Marijuana Laws.
In South Dakota, voters reject-
ed for the second time a medical
marijuana measure a step first
taken by California in 1996 and
by 13 other states since. Oregon
voters refused to expand their
medical marijuana program to
create a network of state-licensed
nonprofit dispensaries.
The California initiative, which
would have allowed adults age 21
and older to possess and grow
small amounts of marijuana, failed
54 to 46 percent. An Associated
Press analysis of exit and pre-elec-
tion polls found voters opposed
Prop 19 regardless of race, gender,
income or education level.
Preliminary election returns
showed Prop 19 winning in 11
of 58 counties, with the stron-
gest support in San Francisco and
Santa Cruz.
But in a sign of what a tough
sell it was, Prop 19 lost in the
states vaunted marijuana-
growing region known as the
Emerald Triangle of Humboldt,
Mendocino and Trinity counties.
Many in the region feared the
system would be taken over by
corporations or would undercut a
cornerstone of the local economy.

Top of the Hi l l
Swift album sells
over one million
LOS ANGELES In the frac-
tured world that is pop music in
2010, 20-year-old country-pop
star Taylor Swift has proven
that the day of 1-million-plus
frst-week album sales hasnt
completely disappeared by sell-
ing 1,047,000 copies of her new
Speak Now CD out of the gate.
That makes it the fastest-
selling album in more than fve
years, since March 2005, when
rapper 50 Cents The Massacre
moved 1,141,000 units. Since
that time, overall album sales
have dropped nearly 50 percent.
Its an incredibly rare feat,
Keith Caulfeld, associate direc-
tor of charts for Billboard, said
Wednesday. Even if you put
aside the depression of the mu-
sic market, and look back over
the last 20 years, this has only
happened 16 times, including
this week. Thats already a stag-
geringly tiny number.
Thinking of it in terms of
where we are today, he said, it
speaks volumes as to her popu-

Jackson-themed
production in works
LOS ANGELES So, maybe
Michael Jacksons This Is It
wasnt quite it after all?
Jacksons estate and Cirque du
Soleil announced plans Wednes-
day for a Jackson-themed touring
production, Michael Jackson:
The Immortal World Tour, that
is set to open in Montreal next
October. The arena tour, which
combines the performers chore-
ography and music with the Que-
becois circus troupes signature
acrobatics, otherworldly staging
and aerial dancing, will travel to
27 cities across North America.
The writer-director of The
Immortal World Tour, Jamie King,
served as Madonnas creative
director for the last dozen years,
overseeing such projects as her
2008 Sticky & Sweet tour. King
previously worked with the
King of Pop as a backup dancer
for Jackson for two years on his
1992-93 Dangerous world tour.
According to King, the new
show references every stage
of Jacksons career, combining
pop spectacle with the esoteric,
theatrical qualities associated
with such Cirque du Soleil shows
as O,Ka and Zumanity.
From the moonwalk to the
iconic choreography weve
seen in Thriller and Beat It and
Bad all his mini-movies and
music videos mix that with the
world of Cirque, King said in an
interview. You shake it and can
literally turn it on its head.

Near death experiences

This article screams ignorance. Birth control has helped many
women to lead the kind of lives they wish while waiting until
they are mentally and financially stable to rear children. It has
allowed women to take control of their lives and bodies, and it
has helped many women with serious health issues along the way.
It has allowed people who are fully aware that they do not wish
to parent to refrain from bearing children who are not wanted. I
am offended that a woman wrote this article. Patricia, maybe you
should do some research on teenage pregancy, the foster care sys-
tem, and unfit parenting to name a few. That might change your
tune.

Responses to the news of the week on Kansan.com
I
n the late 1980s, Nikki Sixx,
bassist for the band Mtley
Cre and popularizer of the
unnecessary umlaut, overdosed on
heroin and was declared dead in
the back of an ambulance en route
to a hospital.
Afer two minutes of being
clinically deadand to the good
fortune of Cre fans everywhere
the musician was brought back
to life by a couple of shots of
adrenaline and quickly recovered.
Sixx claimed later that although
his heart had stopped and he had
quit breathing, he was fully aware
of the chaotic scene on the way to
the hospital, and had even risen
out of his body and observed it
from above.
His account might sound
strange, but rock star junkies arent
the only ones coming back from
the dead with stories of this nature.
In 1982, George Gallup and
author William Proctor conducted
a survey in which 15 percent of
Americans responded that afer a
close brush with death they had
undergone a near-death experience
(NDE for short).
Te term near-death experience
refers generally to a wide variety
of sensations reported by those
who have come close to dying,
and ofen times have actually been
clinically dead.
Raymond Moody,
parapsychologist and author of
Life Afer Life, pinpoints several
of the most common sensations
experienced during a NDE,
including a tunnel of bright
gold or white light, out of body
experiences, a powerful sense of
well-being, and a buzzing or a
ringing noise.
Moody, along with a minority
of other researchers, argues that
NDEs are indicative of something
supernatural and are proof that the
soul continues on afer physical
death.
Te scientifc evidence, however,
doesnt bode well for claims that
NDEs require explanations beyond
anything physically observable.
A biochemical cause of NDEs
has become the most prevalent
theory and asserts that the reports
given by near-deathers are very
similar to the sensations felt by
people under the infuence of
hallucinogenic drugs.
For example, many plants in
the family Solanaceae contain
alkaloids that can induce feelings
of weightlessness and the
hallucination of fying.
Other drugs, like LSD and
psilocybin, are known to cause
visual and auditory hallucinations
similar to those reported in near-
death experiences.
Furthermore, the euphoria and
sense of contact with a higher
being of NDEs can be reproduced
with the dissociative anesthetic
ketamine.
Dr. Karl Jansen of the Royal
College of Psychiatrists posits
that the link between NDEs and
hallucinogens could be caused
by physiological factors like low
blood pressure, a lack of oxygen,
and low blood sugar during NDEs
that could trigger the release of
chemicals that interact with the
same brain receptors as some
psychedelic drugs.
Tere have even been studies
performed showing that electrical
and magnetic stimulation can
cause out-of-body-experiences like
those of NDEs.
Despite the amount of research
concerning NDEs, many questions
still remain about the exact cause,
but the ability to reproduce the
reported sensations through
natural methods adds credence to a
scientifc explanation rather than a
paranormal one.
With the assertion that near-
death experiences are evidence
that support belief in an aferlife,
researchers like Moody have made
the mistake of trying to bring
science to an issue that cannot be
proven and must remain in the
realm of faith.
Since just like a good Mtley
Cre album, the hereafer is simply
something that believers cant be
sure exists and deniers cant be sure
doesnt.

A
ll my life, my mom
warned me against
smoking potbut not
for the usual reasons. If you
get caught, shed say, you could
lose your student aid money
for college and that would be
disastrous.
Now, shes no irresponsible
hippie parent who would have
otherwise condoned any sort
of drug use, were it not for my
education being at stake. Far
from it. Instead, she understands
that there is a big disconnect
between the relatively small
harm done by responsible use of
recreational substances and the
possible enormous consequenc-
es of state and federal law.
Im not arguing against the
proven fact that marijuana, and
of course use of other drugs,
have negative long-term efects
on health and other measures of
personal well-being. Instead, we
should take a hard look at the
comparative consequences of
the drug and the drug war.
Te policies of the United
States dont seem to be working
very wellwe have over half a
million people behind bars for
drug ofenses alone, and accord-
ing to drugpolicy.org, about 1.5
million people are arrested every
year for drug law violations; 40
percent of these are marijuana-
related.
Te focus on punishment,
rather than harm reduction,
education, and rehabilitation,
causes lives to be ruined and
families to be torn apart. Since
1998 the Souder amendment de-
nies federal fnancial aid to any
student convicted of a drug law
violation. Tis leads to issues of
access and structural discrimi-
nation.
We should take a look at
Western Europes drug policy.
Tey focus primarily on harm
reduction, which drugpolicy.org
describes as grounded in the
conviction that people should
not be punished for what they
put into their bodies, but only
for crimes committed against
others. It acknowledges that
no society will ever be free of
drugs. It holds that drug policies
should seek to reduce the nega-
tive consequences (principally
death, disease, crime and suf-
fering) of both drug use and the
policies themselves.
Tis is much more logical
than our system, which is based
in the narrow idea that any il-
licit substance use is inherently
wrong and the focus should be
on punishment. It also recog-
nizes that the gateway drug
hypothesis is true not necessar-
ily because of the old D.A.R.E.
myth that marijuana will lead
you to seek out more intense ex-
periences, but partially because
underground dealers are more
likely to have access to other
harder, more addictive drugs.
Make it sold commercially, and
you have at least part of that
problem solved.
Of course, what works in one
country wont necessarily work
in another. But our current drug
policys consequences includ-
ing high incarceration rates,
limited opportunities for higher
education, the possibility for
discrimination against minori-
ties imply that we could use
some kind of reform.
Tink about it. In the current
political and economic climate,
drug policy reform isnt high
on the agenda. But it will be
again someday, and logical,
informed, and nuanced views
will be necessary to achieve
harm reduction and decreased
negative consequences of the
policies themselves. A hard-line
approach is rarely the answer,
and it certainly isnt here.

Jail time not an acceptable
consequence for pot smoking
I am writing in response to the
Letter to the Editor in Mondays
paper.
I was appalled by Patricia Hubers
argument that women shouldnt
take oral contraceptives.
I dont have the time to address
the obvious moral underpinnings
of her argument, but I do
want to address her claim that
oral contraceptives mask the
symptoms of endometriosis. Te
number one reason Im on the pill
is because of my endo. I have a mild
case, but even mild cases can cause
severe pain. Before I started my
current prescription, I was taking
Percocet for an entire week every
month.
Te pill doesnt just mask the
menstrual pain, it actually works
to prevent further progression of
endo. By having a lighter (or no)
period, fewer endometrial cells
have the opportunity to implant
themselves outside of the uterus,
and during the menstrual cycle,
less bleeding means that there is
a lower infammatory response,
which means less pain.
Im curious as to what Huber
thinks I should do to deal with my
endo, if not take the pill. Te only
other option is invasive surgery,
and thats only temporary the
endo will come back. Te pill is
the only way I can survive my
menstrual cycle.
My prescription costs me over
$70 a month. Luckily, I have a
boyfriend who is willing to split
the cost with me. Because the
government wont subsidize oral
contraceptives, other women with
similar conditions might not be so
lucky.

Students interested in mixing
up their workout schedules now
have a new option at the Ambler
Student Recreation Fitness
Center.
This type of training, called
TRX training, is what personal
trainer Laura Webb describes as
the hot new thing in the world
of fitness. It was invented by a
Navy S.E.A.L. and was featured
on NBCs The Biggest Loser in
2008.
TRX training, or total resistance
exercise suspension training, is
simply suspension training using
your body weight, Webb said.
A team of personal trainers at
the recreation center held a work-
shop Wednesday night to teach
students and faculty about the
new equipment.
Robert Czyz, a junior from
Chicago, said he attended the
workshop because he was inter-
ested in mixing up his workout
routine.
The TRX trainer itself is a sim-
ple piece of equipment. It consists
of about 10 feet of nylon strap-
ping, a pair of loops for the hands
or feet, and two buckles. However,
the exercises students and faculty
can perform on this equipment
are virtually endless. Webb said
the flexibility of the TRX trainer
can make
e x e r c i s e s
more ben-
eficial than
those per-
formed on a
machine.
With a lot
of machines
in the gym,
you dont use
those move-
ments in real
life, Webb
said. In
everyday life, your muscles are all
acting together, so thats why TRX
training is really good, because
youre using all those muscles in
continuation.
Webb said the suspension train-
ing could be used for a cardiovas-
cular workout, strength training,
stretching or a combination of
all three.
Alex Miller, another personal
trainer at the recreation center,
said he sometimes uses TRX
training in his workouts to warm
up or cool down, but also to get a
full body workout when he is in a
hurry.
You can get
every single body
part worked out in
a short amount of
time if youre
really booking it, in
about 10 minutes,
Miller said.
But you might
be dead at that
point, he added.
Webb said peo-
ple of all fitness lev-
els can benefit from
TRX training, but she recom-
mends that individuals also add
other types of exercises besides
TRX training to their workout
schedules.
I think our bodies respond
best when were mixing things up
and constantly keeping it guess-
ing, Webb said. TRX is just
another option now available to
KU students.
Students interested in using
TRX trainers can now check them
out when they visit the recreation
center. They are free to check out
but must remain inside the recre-
ation center while in use.

BY STEPHEN GRAY
sgray@kansan.com
Having dealt with approximate-
ly $100 million in cuts to state
funding over the past two years,
Kansas public universities are now
faced with the possibility of an
unprecedented third-straight year
of frozen salaries for faculty and
staff.
As a result of this worsening
trend, Chancellor Bernadette
Gray-Little has pledged to start
pushing for pay increases on next
years budget.
Gray-Little met with the
leaders of the five other Kansas
public institutions two weeks
ago in Topeka and agreed that
a plan needed to be developed
to determine funding sources for
such salary increases.
Jack Martin, deputy director for
University communications, said
administrators hoped the funding
for these raises could come from
a new Board of Regents education
plan that will come before the
Kansas Legislature in January.
We believe there needs to be a
constant state investment in high-
er education if Kansas is to get out
of the recession, Martin said.
University leaders, however,
also discussed the possibility that
student tuition increases could be
tied to salary raises.
Gary Sherrer, chairman of the
Board of Regents, acknowledged
that the funding burden has
shifted over to students through
tuition in recent years and that it
will continue if the state doesnt
hold up its responsibility to higher
education.
If the state continues to cut
budgets, we only have one choice,
and at some point we cant con-
tinue to ask the students to pay
for the majority of the operating
costs, Sherrer said.
Lisa Wolf-Wendel, professor of
educational leadership and for-
mer faculty senate president, said
as insurance premiums and other
costs have risen with the static sal-
aries, it has created the equivalent
of a pay cut for faculty and staff.
With the expenses, in effect,
faculty and staff are essentially
paid less than they were two years
ago. That puts our university at
a competitive disadvantage, she
said.
Wolf-Wendel said while the
economy is down all over the
country, the lack of pay increases
could lead to potential problems
with retaining and recruiting
faculty. It also doesnt help that
the average faculty salary at the
University is less than many other
comparative institutions, she said.
Money isnt the only reason
that someone would leave, but if
youre not competitive, it makes
going elsewhere more of a viable
option, Wolf-Wendel said.
Martin noted that raising faculty
and staff salaries next year could
only benefit the education process,
both in terms of maintaining unity
and morale in staff programs,
and by maintaining the student
opportunity to learn from faculty
at the top of their field.
We want KU students to have
the opportunity to learn from
the best, and that cant help if
other faculty members are being
recruited away by other institu-
tions, Martin said.
Specific details on potential
salary increases and their pos-
sible sources of funding will be
determined by the Legislature in
January and when the universities
bring their budgets to the Regents
next spring.

2010 Kansas football season. But
compared to the beginning of the
season, the quarterback position is
now even more unclear.
Going into the game against
Colorado this weekend, the Kansas
football team has no starting quar-
terback.
All three are in the mix, said
coach Turner Gill after Wednesdays
practice.
Of the three quarterbacks that
have started, no one player has
made the steps to stand out.
Freshman Jordan Webb has the
marquee win against Georgia Tech
in week two, but since then, his
numbers have been average. Since
throwing three touchdowns and
only one interception in that game,
Webb has thrown four touchdowns
and five interceptions.
After being taken out of the game
against Texas A&M with a shoulder
injury and missing the Iowa State
game, Webb is practicing again
with the first team offense. But then
again, all three quarterbacks are.
Were just trying to get some
reps with different guys, different
days, doing different things Gill
said.
Despite having three different
quarterbacks running plays, tight
end Tim Biere says the different
personnel groupings arent affect-
ing him.
They all run the same plays so it
doesnt really affect you in practice,
Biere said.
Biere said that both Quinn
Mecham and Pick tend to call more
plays directed toward running the
ball at practice and Webb focuses
more on passing plays. And after
the Iowa State game, Biere also said
that Mecham is being allowed to
open up the playbook more often.
Mecham, a junior, completed
66 percent of his passes in his
first start. Although most of them
were short, quick throws, he man-
aged the game with only a few
mistakes.
With Quinn being more com-
fortable now, he can do some of
the stuff Jordan was doing, Biere
said.
Webb is averaging about ten
yards per completion for the sea-
son, while Mecham averaged just
over six yards per completion
against Iowa State.
The decision for the coaches
will be difficult because there is
not much separating each of the
competing quarterbacks as far as
statistics go. However, there might
be some advantage to not naming
a starter at this point in the week.
The visiting Colorado Buffaloes
wont know what to expect.
They dont know for sure whos
going to be the guy, Gill said.
I think that helps us to a cer-
tain extent, but were just trying to
execute our football team and get
better on offense.
Pick has recovered from a con-
cussion, Webbs shoulder is on the
mend, and Mecham quietly put
up a solid outing on Saturday.
Now, like the Lebron James Nike
commercial, the question is: What
would you do?
For Gill, the answer isnt clear,
but he does know what he wants
that quarterback to do.
Were trying to find out who
the best guy is that gives us the best
chance to win.

After weeks of fending off ques-
tions about the issue, all it took was
a game without his star freshman
for coach Bill Self to open up a little
bit on the subject of Josh Selby.
From my perspective of
course, I see it biasedly Im
thinking, Gah let him play, Self
said after the Jayhawks 92-62 exhi-
bition thrashing of the Washburn
Ichabods.
The backcourt was hardly a
weak spot for Kansas in the win,
but there is plenty of room for
Selby, the No. 1 recruit in the class
of 2010, among the experienced
group of guards. The Jayhawk
guards hit just one of 15 three-
point attempts, and Selby was rated
as the top offensive point guard in
his class.
As much help as Selby could pro-
vide, Self is more concerned right
now with the time Selby takes away
from other players in practice
especially if he doesnt get cleared.
Sophomore Elijah Johnson, who
struggled through a 1-for-6 shoot-
ing night in the Jayhawks opener,
is the name that stuck out for Self.
I mean hes taking reps away
from Elijah or whatever, Self said.
So from this point forward hes
still going to practice every day
and hell practice with the first
team some, but not much, because
if we dont have him until a certain
point, theres no reason to take the
reps away from somebody else.
Self said Johnson playing well
is critical in the future, especially
prior to Selbys clearance.
We really need Elijah to play
well because, in case Tyshawn goes
down or gets in foul trouble, hes
a guy that can back him up, Self
said. But with Josh there it gives
us three little guards there that you
can do some things with.
Self said he still doesnt know the
time line for a decision on Selbys
eligibility, but that hes still opti-
mistic that it would happen. Last
weeks announcement that Selby is
clear academically was very good
news for the Jayhawks. Self and
the rest of the Jayhawk nation are
still waiting for an NCAA ruling
on Selbys amateur status, though,
which is still in question because of
a long-standing relationship with
Bay Frazier, Carmelo Anthonys
business manager.
I dont know what they have,
what they dont have, Self said.
Im not privy to that informa-
tion, so I trust it. I do. I trust it.
I think theyre very respectful of
the fact that they know that were
kind of hamstrung right now. We
need to get this behind us. But I
think theres reasons why it hasnt
happened yet, and I dont think its
anybodys fault.
The question still remains,
though: If Selby is cleared, what
does he bring to the table for
Kansas?
He is a guy, right now, that
could be a starter for us, Self said.
But he is not a guy right now that
you would say, He is one of the
best three or four players in the
league. Will he get to that point? I
dont know, but Im a big believer
that by January-February he could
be a guy thats that hard to guard.

T
hroughout last season
I would head toward
the Fieldhouse for
every game mens and
womens. The women had
a great run to the WNIT
Finals in 2009, so I wanted to
see more.
Last year the Jayhawks fell
in the quarterfinals after a
trying season in which they
saw season-ending injuries to
two of their best players
Danielle McCray and Angel
Goodrich. But as all other
athletes do, their teammates
worked together and gained
valuable experience with two
stars on the bench.
After losing five seniors
last year, the teams dynamic
has changed, but their drive
carries on to the younger
athletes. The team has
two seniors now and three
sophomores serving as team
captains. The Jayhawks
added four freshmen and
a redshirt freshman to the
team which drops the experi-
ence from last year, but adds
new opportunities.
Kansas started exhibi-
tion play last Sunday with
an 83-62 victory over Fort
Hays State. The team looked
good. The Jayhawks played
without seniors Krysten
Boogaard and Nicolette
Smith, Boogaard out with
patellar tendonitis and Smith
for an undisclosed reason.
Sophomore Carolyn Davis
was there to step up with a
35-point and 17-rebound
performance.
The guards moved the ball
well and the passes inside to
the post were clean.
At Kansas there is so much
excitement surrounding
mens basketball. And there
should be since Kansas has a
fantastic team year after year.
Womens basketball seems to
get lost in the shuffle. The
players exhibit just as much
passion. The team is athletic
and quick and will be inter-
esting to watch this year.
One of the things that is
most interesting to me is that
the two teams play the same
sport on the same court, and
yet the games are so differ-
ent. Maybe the mens games
are louder, but the womens
games provide a fun family
atmosphere that you cant
get in a crowded gym. I am
sure that is due in part to the
more affordable public ticket
prices and the free student
entry.
From what I have seen so
far, I think the team will be
great this year. They have
a variety of skills and tal-
ents which started to blend
together even in the first
game. This weekend the
Jayhawks will face Washburn
and should be impressive
there as well. If the team
can avoid injuries and work
together, Kansas will have
two exciting basketball teams
in Allen Fieldhouse.

T
he Nintendo 64 was the gaming
system in its prime. Everybody had
one, and who doesnt still enjoy a
little Mario Kart every now and then? I
remember playing Madden 2002 and all
of the great features that came with that
game. I miss John Madden telling me right
after my wide receiver dropped a pass that
he should put some Stickum on his hands.
I also miss the generic fans pumping me
up with their Go team! chant.
But, above all else, my favorite aspect of
the game was the mulligan feature. Being
able to redo a play that didnt go your way
was great. Of course you were only allowed
a certain number of mulligans per game, so
they had to be used wisely.
There have been a few events in football
this year where those involved probably
wish they had a mulligan.
The most recent event that comes to
mind is Randy Mosss situation. Moss was
traded to the Vikings for a third round
draft pick, and four weeks later the Vikings
waived him. I bet Brad Childress would
use a mulligan, if he could, on acquiring
Moss. Throwing away a third round draft
pick for a 2-5 team isnt good for a coach
who has already taken criticism for the way
he let Brett Favre dictate the terms of his
return this year. Moss himself also could
use a mulligan. In a press conference he
basically expressed his love for the Patriots
and sounded like he wished he were back
in New England.
Fantasy owners who spent a top pick
on Moss (like me) would love to choose
another player with that pick if they could
do it again.
41-year-old Favre might also want a
mulligan in deciding to play this year. He
was going to come back, lead the Vikings
to the Super Bowl, and leave his legacy
with a playoff run, right? Well the Vikes
havent quite had the season they had
hoped for, and Favre has been banged
up in the process. Favre got clocked in
Sundays game and he lay helpless on the
back of a gator, as he was driven to get
stitches in his chin. He has two fractures in
his left foot and complains about tendonitis
in his elbow. Retiring after your best sea-
son ever, numbers wise, probably sounds
like a better plan now, doesnt it, Favre?
In one odd case, LSU was given a mulli-
gan. The Tigers had their unbeaten record
on the line when Tennessee came into
Baton Rouge. LSUs poor clock manage-
ment lead to a 3rd and goal from the one
that was barely snapped before the clock
ran out. The snap was mishandled and
the quarterback had to run and jump on
it, ending the game. LSU fans booed, and
the Tennessee sideline erupted, celebrating
the upset. This all stopped when a penalty
flag was thrown on the field, and suddenly
the referees were reviewing the play. When
subbing on defense, Tennessee had some
confusion, and ended up with 13 players
on the field. The flag allowed LSU one
more untimed down. They scored and won
the game. LSU should be gracious of the
mulligan Tennessee gave them.
What if mulligans worked like challeng-
es in the NFL? Each team gets two mulli-
gans, and if the plays that they redo end up
in a first down or points scored, then they
are awarded a third mulligan. Im not sug-
gesting this be inserted into the NFL rule-
book; Im just saying that it would provide
an interesting twist to games. As for now, I
guess Ill just use mulligans in video games,
the only place they are accepted.

Colorados road woes could end this Saturday
associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. The
Colorado Buffaloes, who havent
won a road game since 2007, find
themselves in a very unfamil-
iar position: theyre more than a
touchdown favorite Saturday at
Kansas.
The Buffs 15-game road los-
ing streak is the main culprit in
coach Dan Hawkins 19-38 record
since bolting Boise State in 2006,
and the primary reason hes on
one of the hottest seats in college
football.
If the Buffaloes (3-5, 0-4 Big 12)
beat Kansas (2-6, 0-4) theyll keep
alive their chances of playing in
a bowl game in their farewell Big
12 season.
Lose and Hawkins is one step
closer to getting pushed out.
Its sickening to me because I
know we can beat these teams,
senior cornerback Jimmy Smith
said. If you bring some of the
teams we play on the road in here,
wed beat them badly. But then we
go on the road and its like we cant
tie our shoes together for some
reason.
I dont know why its like that.
The leadership ... it could be a
number of things, but ... I hate it.
I hate the fact that we cant go on
the road and win a game.
The Buffs havent won outside

BY IAN CUMMINGS
icummings@kansan.com
Nebraska swept Kansas in
Lawrence on Wednesday, moving
the all-time series record to 86-0 in
favor of the Cornhuskers.
Senior outside hitter Karina
Garlington said she was disap-
pointed, partly because Kansas was
so competitive with Nebraska at
times.
We just dont string it together
for 25 points, she said. And thats
even more frustrating than laying
a big, fat egg. Because we know we
can do it.
In both the first and second set,
Kansas and Nebraska played a close
match until the midpoint, when
Nebraska ran away with the game.
The Cornhuskers took all three sets
by more than five points (25-17,
25-14 and 25-19).
In the first set, the Cornhuskers
broke away from a tie at 5-5 by
combining their famous blocking
with hard kills by Nebraska outside
hitters like sophomore Hanna
Werth. Nebraska is ranked No. 1 in
the nation for blocking. Two kills by
Garlington in quick succession kept
the Jayhawks in the game at 12-8.
Meanwhile, junior outside hitter
Allison Mayfield scored four kills
when Nebraska left openings on
the court and junior setter Nicole
Tate found occasions to score with
a surprise attack, when she abruptly
turned a set into a kill.
But Nebraska was having success
on offense, too, and kept Kansas
down by at least four points for the
rest of the match. The Cornhuskers
came back from a timeout at 21-17
and scored four unanswered points
to end the set 25-17.
The Cornuskers averaged .471 for
the set and recorded only one attack
error. Brooke Delano, Hannah
Werth and Morgan Broekhuis each
scored four kills. Nebraska blocked
three in the first set, one a solo block
from sophomore Allison McNeal
and two more from the combined
efforts of Lindsey Licht, Brooke
Delano and Hannah Werth. With
Nebraska digging just as many balls
as Kansas, the Jayhawks only man-
aged to shoot for a .200 efficiency in
the opening set.
The Jayhawks have not won a
match this year after losing the
first set.
Kansas scored the first two points
of the second set and took off with
a 3-1 lead. Garlington scored two
kills in quick succession to help
keep the Jayhawks on top, but
Nebraska answered back each time.
Two more kills by Mayfield and
redshirt freshman middle blocker
Jarmoc put Kansas on top once
more at 8-7.
From this point on, Kansas
attack errors and hard shooting by
Nebraska gave the Cornhuskers the
advantage. By the end of the sec-
ond set, the Jayhawks hitting effi-
ciency had dropped to .062 while
Nebraska recorded six blocks.
Kansas defensive players Morgon
Boub, Melissa Manda and Brianne
Riley made some impressive effort
plays, but they could not keep up
with the hard-hitting Nebraska
offense, which continued to hit for
a high efficiency at .387.
Nebraska made a 12-2 run to
take a 22-12 lead before Kaiser took
a small chunk out of the lead with
back-to-back kills. The Cornhuskers
responded with a three-point run
and ended the set 25-14.
The Jayhawk offense improved
dramatically in the third set, hitting
for a .173 efficiency and scoring
13 kills, but could not outmatch
the Cornhuskers. The Jayhawks
started the set by staking out a two
point lead at 2-0 and again at 4-2,
helped out by a kill from Kaiser
and solo block from sophomore
middle blocker Tayler Tolefree.
Kaiser, Garlington and Jarmoc con-
tributed together two more blocks
and Mayfield emerged to lead
the offense with 10 kills, keeping
Kansas in the game for another tie
score at 8-8.
Once again, the Cornhusker
kept their offensive machine run-
ning and established a dominant
lead. Delano and Licht repeatedly
teamed up to block Kansas. Werth
led the Nebraska offense, scoring 13
kills with a .357 efficiency.
Tolefree said that even a small
lead could mean a lot.
With a team like that, its really
difficult to come back and tie it, let
alone take a lead again, Tolefree
said.
Nebraska stayed just out reach,
four or five points ahead, for the
rest of the set until closing out the
match at 25-19.
Coach Ray Bechard said the
Jayhawks lost sight of the game plan
at times, which is unusual.
We just need to slow them
down more offensively, he said.
Its a team destined, Im sure, to
play deep into December. Well take
some positives out of this and, obvi-
ously some things that weve got
to create more opportunities for
ourselves defensively and well get
ready for Colorado.
The Jayhawks stay in Lawrence
for a rematch with the Colorado
Buffaloes on Saturday. In their last
meeting, on Sept. 25, Colorado
topped Kansas in a five-setter in
Boulder.

Miami backup QB will start homecoming game
cOLLEgE fOOTbALL
Mcclatchy-tribune
MIAMI Miami guard
Brandon Washington said he knew
quarterback Stephen Morris would
be just fine when he looked into
the freshmans eyes the first time
he entered the huddle last Saturday
at Virginia.
He was calm, Washington
said. He was like, Ive been here
before. And I knew he hadnt. So
when I looked into his face and
looked into his eyes I was, OK, hes
ready. Im ready, too.
Morris expected to redshirt
this season. But instead, barring
some crazy change of events, he
will make his first college start
on homecoming Saturday against
Maryland at Sun Life Stadium.
Usual starter Jacory Harris has
a concussion. He did not practice
Tuesday and likely will not play
Saturday, said UM coach Randy
Shannon. The coach came short of
publicly naming Morris the start-
er, but he already was informed
hes the guy.
Like Harris, Morris has been
made off-limits to the media.
Three or four weeks ago,
backup A.J. Highsmith got a little
injured, Shannon said. As a coach
youve got to make decisions: OK,
what if the game was today, what
would you do? So I made the deci-
sion to start getting him reps here
and there with the ones and twos,
and start having him throw the
ball to guys, hand the ball off ... get
in sync with the offensive line.
Three or four weeks down the
line, the guy really did a nice job
in the game. That was our fourth-
string quarterback. Now hes our
first-string quarterback.
Morris, 18, is from Miami
Shores and graduated from Miami-
Monsignor Pace High early so he
could begin
UM classes last
January and
participate in
spring practice.
In his UVA
debut, Morris
played the entire
second half
after Spencer
Whipple threw
two intercep-
tions in six
attempts.
UM trailed 24-0, and Morris,
despite throwing two intercep-
tions, led the Canes to 19 consecu-
tive points in the fourth quarter
to give UM a fighting chance. But
the defense could not stop UVA
on two crucial third-downs in the
waning minutes, and the Cavaliers
went on to win 24-19.
Morris was 9 of 22 for 162 yards
and two touchdowns, with the two
picks. He also ran for a 9-yard
touchdown. His
fourth quarter
numbers: 7 of
13 for 150 yards
and two TDs.
He called
me right after
the game and
asked me, How
did I look,
Coach? said
Pace coach
Alvin Slaughter.
I was like,
Honestly? You looked nervous as
hell.
He asked, What did you expect
from me? I said, I expected you
to lead this team to victory, noth-
ing less.
I actually believe if they would
have had another possession he
would have gotten it done ... I real-
ly believe theyve got themselves
the future with Stephen and if
not this year, theyve finally got
themselves a damn good backup.
Morris parents, Bernadette and
Colin Morris, run a Christian-
based public relations, market-
ing and advertising agency called
Sonshine Communications.
Bernadette is the owner and Colin
is the CEO. She got her masters
degree in public administration
from FIU and her bachelors in
communications from North
Florida. He got his masters in
public health from Michigan and
his bachelors in finance from
Kalamazoo College, where he was
a linebacker and safety.
Morris, 6-2 and 183 pounds,
also can hit the books. He had a
3.8 grade-point average in high
school.
Bernadette will be at the game
Saturday with Colin and Stephens
older sister, Rebecca. Mom still
closes her eyes when Stephen has
the ball. She doesnt want to see
him hurt. Were working on it,
Colin said.
Stephens mom described him as
a very mild-mannered gentleman
and very focus-driven.
Said his dad: Hes a real hard
worker. He knows what he wants
to accomplish and theres not much
in his way to stop him. Hes not the
jokester, not the class clown. Hes
confident and its contagious.
That 9-yard touchdown, he
was not going to be denied. He
said, Dad, I saw the guy there and
he wasnt going to stop me from
getting in the end zone.
Morris told his folks the noise
was a little shocking, but it didnt
take him long to relax.
Stephen Morris will
take the place of
injured Jacory Harris
He asked, What did you
expect from me? I said, I
expected you to lead this
team to victory, nothing
less.

Orlando sets record in win over Minnesota
AssociAted Press
ORLANDO, Fla. Dwight
Howard had 18 points, 16
rebounds and eight blocked
shots to help the Orlando Magic
set a franchise record for most
points in the first half in a 128-
86 victory over the Minnesota
Timberwolves on Wednesday
night.
Vince Carter had 20 points,
Ryan Anderson scored 19 and
the Magic shook up the starting
lineup to score 78 points in the
opening half for an easy win.
Orlando started Anderson at
power forward, moved Rashard
Lewis to small forward and
bumped Quentin Richardson
out of the starting lineup.
The new-look lineup worked
just fine.
Kevin Love had 22 points and
Corey Brewer scored 12 for the
Timberwolves, who lost on con-
secutive nights in Florida by 74
points. Minnesota fell by 32 a
night earlier
in Miami
and has
lost four of
its first five
games.
The well-
rested Magic
sure took out
their frustra-
tions.
With Howard doing his work
on the inside, that freed up
Orlandos shooters to hit 3-point-
ers at will. Anderson alone hit
three straight 3-pointers on
consecutive possessions, Carter
had three 3s and J.J. Redick and
Chris Duhon combined to hit
three more to give the Magic a
78-45 lead.
And that was just the first
half.
The outpouring was the most
points in a first half in franchise
history, breaking the previous
mark of 75 against Sacramento
on Jan. 13, 2009. That was the
same night Orlando set an NBA
record with 23 made 3-pointers.
It was a strong showing
albeit against one of the NBAs
worst teams for Magic coach
Stan Van Gundys lineup swap.
For the first time in years in a
regular-season game, Orlando
started Lewis down at small for-
ward and moved Anderson into
the lineup at power forward.
Of course, the Timberwolves
didnt put up near the fight as
LeBron James and the rival
Miami Heat, who routed Orlando
96-70 in the Magics last game
Friday night. Minnesota was
already playing short-handed
with Michael Beasley nursing a
sore left hip after he took a hard
fall at Miami on Tuesday night.
The lengthy lineup exposed
the Timberwolves lack of depth,
size and overall talent against
one of the Eastern Conferences
elite. The play was often embar-
rassing at times for Minnesota,
too.
On one play
in the third
quarter, Love
and Brewer
inadvertent-
ly tipped a
rebound in
for a Magic
basket. Wayne
E l l i n g t o n
dribbled the
ball off his leg earlier in the
game for a backcourt violation,
and Howard swatted Minnesota
shots into the stands more than
once.
The Timberwolves also had to
contend with a Magic team that
been simmering for five days
since the Heat blew them away.
The layoff was prolonged
because Orlandos game Tuesday
night at the New York Knicks
was postponed due to safety
concerns at Madison Square
Garden, where debris fell into the
arena during overnight cleaning
of asbestos-related materials.

Walk-on
flls problem
position for
N.C. State
McclAtchy-tribune
RALEIGH, N.C. Football
wasnt the primary reason Andy
Leffler wanted to transfer to N.C.
State.
The 5-foot-10 punter from
Dublin, Ohio, was eager to get
to N.C. State to study to be a
veterinarian after three years as a
backup for Elons football team.
Leffler was unhappy about
the limited playing time he had
logged, but his father Jon Leffler
encouraged him to continue play-
ing football. So, after speaking
with the N.C. State coaching staff,
Leffler walked on and became the
answer to one of the Wolfpacks
biggest on-field problems.
If you would have sat me down
five or six years ago and told me
that Id be playing for a Division
I school and playing football on
national television, I would have
told you, you were crazy, Leffler
said.
Yet here he is, not only starting,
but thriving at a position that has
long caused N.C. State trouble.
Lefflers average of 41.5 yards per
punt is the highest for an N.C.
State player since John Deraney
averaged 41.9 yards as a sopho-
more in 2004.
Leffler isnt the only one who
had not envisioned him occu-
pying this position, however. A
strong-legged scholarship player
from Georgia named Chris Ward
was supposed to be the answer for
N.C. State as a redshirt freshman.
But he was suspended from the
team in the spring and did not
return to the program for the 2010
season.
Jeff Ruiz, who struggled in 2009
as a starter, had decided to trans-
fer but returned to reclaim his
starting job. After he averaged just
37.1 yards per kick over his first
three games, the coaching staff
decided to give Leffler a chance.
He has a tremendous upside
in terms of his flexibility, said
N.C. State special teams coach
and recruiting coordinator Jerry
Petercuskie. If you notice him
on the field, he really has unbe-
lievable extension. He still has to
improve his drops, and he still
has to improve technically sliding
under the ball sometimes. But
when he hits the football, for a
little guy, he puts it in orbit.
Leffler never would have had
the opportunity to play this season
if not for the work of his father
and Petercuskie. In order for the
NCAA to waive the standard
requirement that transfer students
must sit out a year, Petercuskie
said, the Lefflers had to show that
Andy was not recruited by Elon
before he walked on there.
Proving that and transferring
his academic credentials required
a huge amount of paperwork by
Jon Leffler and Petercuskie before
Leffler got clearance to play. He
made his first start Sept. 25 at
Georgia Tech and has been solid
since he entered the lineup.
He met a personal goal by ham-
mering a punt that hung in the air
for five seconds on Oct. 9 against
Boston College. He has downed
10 of his 18 punts inside the oppo-
nents 20-yard line.
But he isnt sure what to expect
in the future. Before his emergence,
Wil Baumann of Wilmingtons
Hoggard High committed to N.C.
State as a scholarship player, with
plans to take over the starting
punter job in 2011.
So Leffler will face strong com-
petition next season, but he said
hes OK with that. He already has
gotten more out of his experience
at N.C. State than he had ever
imagined.
After struggling to consistently
deliver good punts in the pre-
season, when coach Tom OBrien
said about every third Leffler punt
was a shank, he has rarely had a
poor punt in his five games as a
starter.
Once hes had the opportunity
to perform, hes made the most of
it, OBrien said, and its been a
great boost to our football team.

Octopus replaces
World Cup predictor
oBeRHAUSen, Germany
Paul the octopus successor has
made his public debut but his
keepers arent yet promising deep
soccer insight from the youngster.
The 5-month-old, also named
Paul, tentatively explored his new
tank at the Sea Life aquarium in
oberhausen Wednesday. Paul
hails from near montpellier in
southern France and weighs
nearly 10.5 ounces (300 grams);
he made his debut after two
months in quarantine.
The original Paul correctly
predicted the outcome of eight
matches at the World cup. He
died of natural causes last week.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Tim
Thomas made 33 saves in his
seventh straight win, and Brad
Marchand and Michael Ryder
had a goal and assist each to
lift the surging Boston Bruins
to a 5-2 victory over the Ryan
Miller-less Buffalo Sabres on
Wednesday night.
Thomas (7-0), who entered
with a 0.50 goals-against aver-
age after consecutive shutouts,
had his shutout streak of 167
minutes, 12 seconds snapped by
Drew Staffords second-period
goal that made it 4-1.
Andrej Sekera also scored
for Buffalo, which came in with
the second-fewest points (8)
in the NHL after winning the
Northeast Division last season.
Thomas allowed more than
one goal for the first time this
season, but tied a career high for
longest winning streak.
Patrice Bergeron, Blake
Wheeler and Milan Lucic also
scored for Boston (7-2), which
set a franchise record by win-
ning its fifth consecutive road
game to open a season.
Thomas best save came as
the Sabres 37-second, two-man
advantage was winding down
with 13 minutes to go. He dived
and reached behind with the
paddle of his stick to deny Derek
Roys stuff-in chance at the right
post.
The sliding Sabres (3-8-2) lost
their fourth straight, and played
with Miller out of uniform for
the first time this season. Miller
is nursing an undisclosed lower
body injury that he tweaked late
in Fridays overtime loss to the
Atlanta Thrashers.
Rookie Jhonas Enroth,
recalled from Portland of the
AHL, got the surprise start for
Buffalo over regular backup
Patrick Lalime, but was pulled
after surrendering three goals
on 12 shots in one period.
Lalime then gave up two goals
on 13 shots. The 22-year-old
Enroth made just his second
career NHL start, both against
the Bruins.
Boston has won seven of eight
since opening the season with a
loss to Phoenix.
Buffalo welcomed back right
wing Jason Pominville, who
missed nine games because of
a concussion sustained when he
was hit into the boards from
behind by Chicago defenseman
Niklas Hjalmarsson.
Boston scored three times in
the first period, including short-
handed goals by Marchand and
Bergeron. Marchand scored on
a breakaway after taking Tim
Connollys errant pass in the
Boston zone. Bergeron wristed
in his second of the season from
the top of the right circle.
It was Marchands first NHL
goal.
Wheeler pushed the Bruins
lead to 3-0 with his first of
the season with 3:06 left in the
first period. Standing just out-
side the corner of the crease,
Wheeler lifted in Ryders pass
from behind the net after out-
muscling Stafford.
Ryder made it 4-0 at 2:11 of
the second, wristing a shot past
from the lower portion of the
right circle past Lalime.
Stafford finally solved Thomas
with a power-play goal with 3:21
left in the second period, bang-
ing home a loose puck.
Sekera cut the deficit to 4-2
with 4:34 remaining in the
game.

ATLANTA Al Horford had
six straight points in an 18-4 run
to finish the game and the unde-
feated Atlanta Hawks beat the
winless Detroit Pistons 94-85 on
Wednesday night.
Josh Smith had 22 points and
11 rebounds as the Hawks (5-0)
remained the only unbeaten team
in the Eastern Conference.
Ben Gordon had 22 points but it
wasnt enough for Detroit.
The Pistons are 0-5 for the first
time since the 1980-81 season,
when they started 0-7. They won
their fifth game after starting 0-4
in 1999-2000.
Tayshaun Prince, who had 17
points, hit a three-pointer to give
Detroit an 81-76 lead. The Hawks
then took over with the closing run
over the final 6:13.
Horford had 18 points, Joe
Johnson added 14 and eight assists,
Zaza Pachulia had 12 points and
Marvin Williams added 11.
Charlie Villanueva had 14 points
for Detroit.
The Pistons used their 17-3
advantage in offensive rebounds to
take a 16-6 lead in second-chance
points. The Hawks averaged 44
rebounds in their first four wins,
but they were outrebounded 38-35
by the Pistons.
The Hawks led 70-66 entering
the final period. Gordon opened
the final period with consecutive
baskets to start a 10-2 run that gave
the Pistons a 76-72 lead.
The Hawks were without top
sub Jamal Crawford, who suffered
a right turf toe injury in Tuesday
nights win at Cleveland. Crawford,
chosen as the NBAs Sixth Man
of the Year last season, is averag-
ing 15.8 points per game. Its not
known how long he will be side-
lined.
The Hawks already were with-
out another top backup, guard
Maurice Evans, who missed his
fourth straight game with a right
knee injury.
Hawks rookie Jordan Crawford,
who played only two minutes over
the first four games, moved into a
more prominent role and scored
his first career points with a jumper
late in the first quarter. It was his
only basket of the game.
The Pistons took advantage
of Gordons matchup with Mike
Bibby. Gordon opened the game
with a reverse layup and continued
to attack Bibby, scoring 11 of the
Pistons first 16 points.
