GTAs bemoan
pay differences

Patricia Tom was surprised to
learn that she didnt make as much
money as her friend Lynne Yengu-
lalp.
Tom, Pontevedra, Spain,
graduate student, and Yengulalp,
Cleveland graduate student, are
both graduate teaching assistants.
Tom works for the department
of Spanish and Portuguese, Yengu-
lalp is in the department of math-
ematics.
Tom will earn about $15,000
this year, her sixth year as a GTA.
Yengulalp is in her third year, and
earns about $16,000. That didnt
seem right to Tom, especially be-
cause shes been a GTA for twice as
long as Yengulalp and has to grade
her own papers,
unlike her friend.
The effort is
the same, we all
deal with stu-
dents, she said.
It implies that
some GTAs are
better than oth-
ers.
Yengulalp said
it was unfortu-
nate that Tom
did not receive
the same salary, because she knows
Tom works hard. The math depart-
ment hires a lot of GTAs to teach
diffcult classes like calculus, and
each teacher defnitely deserves the
salary they get, Yengulalp said.
The difference of $1,000 in
salaries can make a big difference,
especially to graduate teaching as-
sistants who think they do about
the same work as a better-paid
counterpart.
The average salary for GTAs in
Spanish and Portuguese is about
$3,000 less than the average GTA
salary in the mathematics depart-
ment.
GTAs salaries in both depart-
ments are based on the number of
years the GTA has worked in the
department, as well as on merit
and the skill level of the GTA.
The latter two
categories are
based on evalu-
ations that stu-
dents complete.
All GTAs were
paid about the
same amount
until 2002, when
the University
and representa-
tives of the GTA
reached an agree-
ment to raise the
minimum salary from $5,500 to
$10,000.
Merit-based raises were also
incorporated into salaries, which
come from tuition money. The Uni-
versity pays all GTA salaries.
GTAs in any of the sciences and
mathematics are generally paid
more than those in the liberal arts,
said Gloria Prothe, a public service
administrator with the mathemat-
ics department.
With the greater number of stu-
dents in those felds, more GTAs
are need to teach classes, Prothe
said.

Tyler Fry, air Force ROTC freshman, stands guard with a fellow Air Force member over on oil lantern lit in remem-
brance of veterans Friday night at the campus Vietnam War Memorial on West Campus Road. Each year the Air
Force organizes the all-night memorial service with the Army and Navel ROTC.
Jesse Hall, army ROTC junior, formally takes over guarding the oil
lantern lit in rememberance of veterans for fellow Army ROTC junior,
Glenda Hernandez on Friday night at the Korean War Memorial on
Memorial Drive. The Army, Air Force and Navel ROTC took shifts
watching over the laterns all night for Veterans Day at both the
Korean War Memorial and the Vietnam War Memorial on campus.

ad looked proud.
A 58-year-old marine and veteran
of the Vietnam War and now Iraq,
Kendall Phelps stood beaming in front of a
group of more than 150 ROTC members and
guests in the Kansas Union.
His oldest son, Chris, stood at his side, in
full uniform like his dad.
Master Gunnery Sgt. Kendall Phelps, a
retired music teacher from Silver Lake, and
Maj. Chris Phelps, 35, a 1993 KU graduate,
both returned in September from a seven-
month tour of duty in Iraq. On Friday, they
were honored guests at the ROTC Veterans
Day ceremony.
Kendall was the reason Chris, now
married with four sons, joined the Marine
Corps Reserve in 1988. Fifteen years lat-
er, during the initial combat Iraq in 2003,
Kendall volunteered to join his son in
Iraq after Chris sent an e-mail with a pic-
ture of himself holding a sign that read,
Dad, wish you were here.
When Chris left this February for his
second tour of duty, Dad went also. Kend-
all sent Chris an e-mail after he arrived in
Ramadi and Chris arrived in Fallujah. He
was holding a sign that read, Hey Chris,
I made it.
Since then, the father and son from Kan-
sas have become a national story of Ameri-
can pride, appearing on CNN, Fox News,
National Public Radio and in newspapers
across the country.
Both worked in the Fifth Civil Affairs
Group on projects such as setting up a trash
collection system, bringing electricity and
water to homes and passing out candy to
children.
On Friday, they spoke of the progress
the United States had made in rebuild-
ing Iraq, which Chris said the media often
overlooked, and the diffculties the country
faced.

The sky turned a lighter shade of gray and a strong
wind blew drops of rain against the faces of two cadets
standing at attention.
A lantern lit by two marines, father and son, sat on the
ground below a name engraved on the wall: Larry Wynn
Petett, a soldier who died in Vietnam.
A hundred feet down the sidewalk, behind Snow
Hall, another lantern sat at the feet of two more cadets,
below a monument with more names engraved and per-
manent words that read, Remembering the KU family
who gave their lives for the cause of freedom during the
Korean War.
It was sunrise on a cloudy, cool Saturday morning.
Half a day earlier, in the Kansas Union, Kendall and
Christopher Phelps, a father and son each two months
removed from a tour of duty in Iraq, lit the lantern for the
vigil that honored the dead on Veterans Day.
Every year, ROTC members honor Veterans Day by
standing guard in rotation for 24 hours, from 7 p.m. Fri-
day to 7 p.m. Saturday, at two of the Universitys four
war memorials that honor those who died during World
War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam
War.

Graduate teaching assistant

Living on graduate teach-
ing assistants salaries is not
easy, both GTAs and the de-
partments that employ them
agree.
GTAs have basic duties:
leading discussions, grading
tests, quizzes and homework
assignments, and holding of-
fice hours to assist students
with their studies. They can-
not be paid less than $10,000
a year and their contracts re-
quire them to put in at least
20 hours of work each week.
But Patricia Tom, Ponteve-
dra, Spain, graduate teaching
assistant in the department of
Spanish and Portuguese, said
she always ended up working
more than that.
Tom said the contract
didnt account for the num-
ber of hours it actually took
to grade assignments. For
instance, papers take much
longer to grade than multiple
choice quizzes. Tom teaches
a Spanish composition class
and grades mostly papers.
Tom also spends quite a
bit of her time meeting with
students who cannot meet
during her office hours. She
said she figured out she was
getting paid $1.25 per hour
because of how many hours
she worked.
It all depends on how GTAs
are considered, said John Co-
lombo, acting chairman of the
department of psychology.
GTAs can be considered
apprentices, meaning they are
gaining experience they will
need for future careers. Sala-
ries are adequate if consid-
ered in that light, he said.
If GTAs are considered tra-
ditional employees, their sal-
ary is definitely not adequate,
he said.
The amount given to GTAs
is never enough, especially
when you figure in the cost of
tuition and fees, said Karen
Hummel, university support
specialist with the depart-
ment of religious studies.
Religious studies pays its
GTAs an average of $11,684 per
year, according to the KU Of-
fice of Institutional Research
and Planning. Even though it
is greater than the minimum,
Hummel still thinks it isnt a
realistic amount to live on.
Its a tough life to balance
out, she said.

GTAs face many challenges
Nov. 13, 1970
Gary Jackson, a University of Kansas law student, sued the Uni-
versity after he lost his job as an assistant with the Dean of Mens
offce. The defendants in the case were Chancellor E. Lawrence
Chalmers and the Kansas Regents. The case received attention be-
cause Jackson, an African American, suspected that race had played
a motivating factor.
Jackson, who graduated from the University with degrees in psychol-
ogy and personnel administration, was dismissed from his job after he
was accused of buying ammunition. He had not broken any crimes by
doing so. Jackson was active with Afro House, 946 1/2 Rhode Island
St. Afro House was a cultural center that provided after-school activi-
ties and mentorship to local minority children. It had been suspected
that Afro House might also be linked to other organizations.
Donald K. Alderson, Jacksons employer, had said that he was
doing a good job and had no idea why hed been dismissed.
Nov. 16, 1964
Before Delta Force and KUnited, there were University Party and Vox
Populi. Following the November elections, each party took 15 seats in
the All Student Council (known today as Student Senate). Because of
holdover elections, University Party now held a 21 to 19 majority over
Vox Populi.
Harry Bretschneider, University Party secretary, called the new majority
a great victory, and stressed that University Party had a large duty to better
the University. A spokesman for Vox Populi said that the party would not
attempt to block any new legislation.
The elections came after people criticized limits in campaign spending.
A $200 limit had been opposed, but this was fagrantly ignored, and some
candidates admitted to spending thousands of dollars on the campaign.
The new offcers took their seats on the Council after Thanksgiving
break.
Nov. 17, 1989
More than 200 protestors gathered outside of Liberty Hall, 642
Massachusetts St., to protest the showing of Martin Scorseses con-
troversial flm The Last Temptation of Christ, starring Willem
Dafoe as Jesus. Most of the protestors were from St. Marys Acad-
emy, but a few were from the University of Kansas. The group sang
hymns, passed out literature and participated in public prayer.
Rev. Herve de la Tour led the protests saying that he hoped the
protestors could prevent the showing of the flm. The flm ran
through Dec. 3.
Many KU students said that the protests only increased their in-
terests in the flm.

LOS ANGELES Writers and
actors are calling for a code to gov-
ern the trend of hidden advertising
in TV shows and flms, and they
say they will appeal to federal regu-
lators if studios dont respond.
The unions also say they want
their share of the billions of dollars
in advertising revenue generated by
what they write and act in.
Advertising has been creeping
into programming for years, blur-
ring the line of ad and program.
Increasingly, the products are be-
coming integrated into story lines
as well. The character Gabrielle on
Desperate Housewives, was seen
last season as an auto show model,
touting a new Buick.
Representatives from the Writ-
ers Guild of America planned to
release a study Monday.
We are being told to write the
lines that sell this merchandise and
to deftly disguise the sale as a sto-
ry, the study states.
The WGA is calling for a code
that would mandate full disclosure
of all product integration deals
at the beginning of a program so
viewers know they will be subject
to hidden or stealth advertising.
The code would also require the
issue to be discussed in bargaining
to give actors, writers and directors
a voice in how products are used.
Just as there is an established
right to truth-in-advertising, there
should be a similar right to truth-
in-programming, SAG President
Alan Rosenberg said.
The effort is part of a larger push
by the WGA to unionize those who
work on reality TV shows.
Nick Counter, the Alliance of
Motion Picture and Television
Producers president, has called
the WGAs stance an unfortu-
nate tactic, in the past.

Salaries
continued from page 1a
The higher salaries makes it eas-
ier to recruit a suffcient number of
teaching assistants.
In some cases, the mathematics
department hires undergraduate
students to be graders, Prothe
said. Those students grade assign-
ments and tests for various class-
es. Graders are not always used,
however, and it is usually up to the
professor or GTA who is teaching
the class to decide whether to use
one.
Tom is not unhappy with her
salary. On the contrary, she says its
enough for her to live a pretty de-
cent life. She earns enough money
to go back to Spain every couple of
years.
Still, she feels her salary wont be
fair until all GTAs who have taught
for the same amount of time receive
the same amount of money.
We all do the same job, she
said.

DALLAS It hasnt become quite as
routine as having your teeth cleaned, but
a growing number of people are going to
hospitals to get their heart arteries un-
clogged and going home the same day.
New research presented Sunday at an
American Heart Association conference
suggests the approach is safe. It found
complications were no greater in people
who went home a few hours after having
angioplasty than in those who were hos-
pitalized overnight.
Insurers are getting cranky about
hospital costs and will be enthused about
ways to cut them, said Timothy Gardner,
a Delaware cardiologist who heads the
meeting committee but had no role in the
research.
Patients, however, might not like being
rushed out the door. Some may view it as
the cardiac equivalent of drive-through
deliveries, where new moms are sent
home the day they give birth.
Angioplasty is one of the most com-
mon medical techniques in the world.
About 600,000 are done each year in the
United States alone.

The job before us isnt easy, said Chris,
who lives in Shawnee with his wife and sons
and is working toward his masters degree in
International Relations at the Edwards Cam-
pus. Its a marathon, not a sprint. Im here to
tell you first-hand, let there be no doubt among
anybody in this group, its a slugfest. Thats the
bottom line.
As part of their presentation, the Phelpses dis-
played photographs that depicted military life in
Iraq better than words could. One showed a gi-
ant dust storm moving into Fallujah a tor-
nado on steroids, Chris called it. One showed
Kendalls bullet-hole-riddled station in Ramadi.
Another showed a medical-waste dump the mil-
itary had cleaned up outside a medical clinic.
Others showed barefoot Iraqi children and di-
lapidated schools.
Kendall contrasted the American peoples reac-
tion to the war in Iraq with the Vietnam War, say-
ing he often gets thanked for his service, which he
said never happened 40 years ago.
Our country is looking at things in a different
aspect now, he said. We care about our military
people.
Chris said there was a lot of work left to
do in Iraq, and the long-term goal was to give
jobs to Iraqis and transfer power to the Iraqi
military.
Were going to leave eventually, and the Iraqi
military is going to be the one to stay, he said.
After their speech, Kendall and Chris joined
their family in the crowd, proud of their service
and happy to be home.

After the Phelpses lit the lamps,
a group of ROTC students carried
them to the Korean War and
Vietnam Memorials where they
burned all night. They also placed
a wreath and a bouquet of yellow
fowers at each one.
At the Vietnam Memorial, an
Air Force ROTC cadet lifted a
trumpet to his mouth and played
taps slowly. The cadets took their
posts, two at each memorial.
As Michelle Baatz, an Army
ROTC member, stood silently at
the Korean War Memorial at sun-
rise, she said she thought of friends
and family who are in Iraq and Af-
ghanistan.
Twenty years from now,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for
Monday, Nov. 14, 2005: You have
your hands full this year, but some-
how youll come through with fying
colors. Lady Luck will be sitting on
your shoulder. Work and community
commitments might be demanding,
but your endurance mixed with your
positive spirit will make the difference.
Sometimes others will be critical
of you or withhold things from you.
Remember, you can only do so much.
Claim your power and start creating
the world that you want. If you are
single, dont count on a relationship as
being long-term until you have gone
through a year together. Though you
might experience a rocky beginning,
this could be Mr. or Miss Right. If you
are attached, agree to disagree. Try to
walk in your partners shoes. TAURUS
always presents another view.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHHH You might be more businesslike
than usual. Hassles can occur, as Mercury
goes retrograde today. Miscommunica-
tions and problems with mechanical items
could develop. Be as clear as possible.
Tonight: Evaluate your budget.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH The Moon in your sign adds
to your vigor and energy. In some way,
you hop over obstacles. Still, confu-
sion could stem from joint fnances
and insurance policies. Be sure to dot
your is and cross your ts. Tonight: All
smiles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HH You fnd that much goes on,
but you might be happier distancing
yourself from what happens. You could
also feel out of sorts. Relax and enjoy
some downtime. Dont make any deci-
sions for the next few weeks. Tonight:
Get some extra sleep. You will need it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH You might be questioning a
friendship or long-term goal. Do just
that before you plunge in. In fact, tak-
ing your time making decisions would
be very wise. Dont think that what
someone says is written in stone.
Tonight: Where the crowds are.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Whether you like it or not, you
might need to stop and change your
plans. You are in charge, but might
fnd it diffcult to get others to follow
your lead. Dont fght the inevitable. Sit
down and think of another approach.
Tonight: You get a late-night idea.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH You are pushed hard to see
another point of view. You can. Inves-
tigate different ways of thinking, even
if youre uncomfortable with the prem-
ise. Learning other thinking patterns
will help your mind grow. Tonight: Talk
to some other respected minds.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Work with others; let them
feel that they are in charge. They want
to play the big boss. Let them, and let
them experience the end results. Just
establish boundaries and stay clear of
their messes, for your sake. Tonight:
Early to bed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHH You will have to defer to
others for now. Sometimes people
need to see what happens when they
do what they think is right. Set your
boundaries so that you arent involved.
Use your positive energy for yourself
right now. Tonight: Keep your own
counsel.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHH You might not be pleased with
what is going on, but then you dont
always have to be happy. You are
being pulled in many different direc-
tions. Stop and prioritize. Otherwise,
you could make an error or have an
accident. Tonight: Try an early night
at home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHH You are imaginative and
creative. Because of this rush of inge-
nuity, you get tired when others dont
get it or when you have to explain over
and over. You are heading down the
right path. Tonight: Write down some
of your ideas, or take off and play like
a kid.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHH You certainly feel pressured,
as others seem contrary or demand-
ing. What was OK yesterday might
not be today. Please note that this
trend could reverse itself with some
logic and a frm hand -- but not today.
Tonight: Stay close to home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH You could be in the midst of a
brouhaha and not really want to be.
Pace yourself more carefully than
before. You must still concentrate on
work or a project. Dont let events
cause you to lose focus. Tonight: Try
not to get in the middle of a problem.
Take a walk.

It is disheartening that a bio-
chemistry major and future sci-
entist would accept Intelligent
Design uncritically, and that any
student could write a column as
riddled with errors of both fact
and logic as Dustin Elliotts.
While that essay confuses
and misrepresents contempo-
rary scientic fact and theory,
the central aw in his column is
its misunderstanding of the very
nature of science.
Science is a process, not an
encyclopedia. Science proceeds
by asking questions and testing
hypotheses. The utility of sci-
ence derives from this pragmat-
ic approach; untestable hypoth-
eses are either too general or
too poorly specied to predict
anything.
If a hypothesis cannot, at
least in principle, produce accu-
rate predictions, it is not scien-
tically useful.
Evolutionary biologists since
Darwin hypothesized that the
year to year variation in the
beaks of Darwins nches (mi-
croevolution) would add up to
differences so large as to pro-
duce new species (macroevolu-
tion), which biologists dene as
evolutionary patterns above the
species level.
As the new exhibit in the
Natural History Museum illus-
trates, eld research showed
how small changes over many
years in Galapagos nchs beak
shapes yielded speciation and
macroevolution.
Continue past the nch exhib-
it and you will see one recently
discovered transitional fossil se-
ries, a group of fossils showing
the evolution of whales.
The scientists who found
these fossils had a hypothesis
about where the earliest whales
lived and what they looked like.
As more fossils were found,
some hypotheses were reject-
ed, while others were not. The
whales are far from the only
such series; a remarkable num-
ber of transitional forms have
been found, given the challeng-
es to fossilization and the small
area which paleontologists have
been able to search.
The fossil record is a constant
source of new and astounding
evidence for testing evolution-
ary hypotheses.
Similarly, a new book recent-
ly published by the National
Academies of Science shows
the ways that the chemists and
geologists studying abiogen-
esis not creation evolution,
a term coined by Mr. Elliott
have been testing hypotheses
about the formation of the rst
living cell.
It cannot be stressed enough
that evolution does not depend
on any particular theory of abio-
genesis, and abiogenesis itself
falls outside the eld of evolu-
tionary biology.
Claims about irreducible
complexity fall outside of sci-
ence altogether, because they
fail to generate testable hypoth-
eses. Irreducible complexity
simply states that we dont yet
know how something could
have evolved. Because science
is a process, not a collection of
knowledge, claims about ab-
sence of knowledge are inher-
ently untestable.
Indeed, the iconic examples
of IC are reducible. Dolphins,
for example, have a fully func-
tional blood-clotting system
but lack the Hagemann factor
which humans require. Puffer-
sh and zebrash lack an entire
blood-clotting pathway found
in higher vertebrates.
A basic knowledge of the state
of science falsies these particu-
lar claims of irreducibility, but
without perfect knowledge of
everything, the claim that IC ex-
ists somewhere is unfalsiable.
The same critique applies to
intelligent design, the latest gen-
eration of creationism. ID is not
explanatory. When pressed for
a testable mechanism, ID advo-
cates revert to theology or wave
off the question, leaving ID cre-
ationism outside the realm of
science.
Mr. Elliott himself offers no
mechanism or evidence for ID,
which is curious given his plea
for science not to assume any-
thing until facts can defend the
original hypothesis.
ID is apparently exempt from
such a requirement and seems
to enjoy the privileged status of
becoming the default explana-
tion the moment any competing
theory encounters trouble.

The utility of sci-

this pragmatic ap-
proach; untestable
hypotheses are ei-
ther too general or
too poorly speci-
ed to predict any-
thing.

Im way too drunk to type in my new password with

Hy-Vee nightshift Megan is a hottie.

I just wanted to let all you guys out there know

that girls jeans are for girls, not guys.

Atmosphere rocked my socks off!

I havent been this embarrassed to be a KU

fan since we lost to Bucknell.

To the girl who wore a burnt orange shirt in my class

Wednesday: I was wondering if you werent busy this
weekend maybe we could get married.

I would be willing to bet a $100 that I can beat

anyone in Dr. Mario for regular Nintendo.

So, whats wrong with teaching intelligent design

and evolution? Teach them both and believe what you
want. Its like me in grade school. I loved math, but
didnt like art, yet I still had to go to class.

My friends girlfriend gave him Pop-Tarts and

ChapStick for his birthday. Shes a keeper!

What has this world come to? Facebook is

down for maintenance. (In the style of Darth Vader
from Star Wars III.) No!

There was a couch bonre situation at 12th and

Louisiana, and it made me feel warm inside and out.

Hey, its Thursday, or actually Friday morning at 4 a.m.,

and Im not playing checkers. Im so cool now.

Vin Diesel once beat Super Mario Bros. 3 without

even touching his Nintendo controller. He just yelled
at his TV, and the game beat itself out of fear.

To the boy in the brown sweater in the second row of

my lecture, please be my husband. I love you.

To the emo kids, we know you hate your parents. Give

your girlfriend her jeans back.
Imagine standing before a
judge in a court of law. Youve
already been sentenced to le-
thal injection for a crime you
didnt commit and have sat in a
jail cell ghting for your life.
Now, after 16 long years, all
three witnesses have recanted
yet the assistant attorney gen-
eral declares that the court
should not stop the execution
of an innocent person because
the prisoner has had a fair tri-
al.
It almost sounds like some-
thing from Catch-22, but,
sadly, its what happened to
Joe Amrine, who was fortunate
enough to be the 109th person
exonerated while sitting on
death row.
Currently, 121 innocent peo-
ple have been freed from a sen-
tence of death.
Thats right, our justice sys-
tem has admitted to 121 dif-
ferent people that, oops, they
were wrong to sentence to
death.
How can we continue to
use a system that has made
121 mistakes concerning who
lives and dies? The country
would never stand for random
sacrices to appease the Sun
God.
Yet we are willing to ignore
the shedding of innocent blood
to satisfy the primal urge of re-
venge. If you dont believe me,
look at the facts.
In its review of death penal-
ty expenses, the state of Kansas
concluded that capital cases
are 70 percent more expensive
than comparable non-death
penalty cases. This means
more money to kill someone
and less money for our police
or schools.
Most people on death row
had a bad lawyer and are gen-
erally poor.
The policy is unconstitution-
al and numerous studies have
found disturbing statistics con-
cerning how it treats the races.
Lastly, look at what coun-
tries still use this primitive and
fatally awed practice.
In 2004, 97 percent of
known executions took place
in China, Iran, Vietnam and
the United States.
This list should make our
country ashamed. The United
States should be setting the
standard for the world of a free
and just society instead of pro-
moting some backward policy.
The way supporters ratio-
nalize capital punishment is
through the myth that it some-
how deters crime. This is sim-
ply not true. Study after study
has found little to no change in
crime rates. These crimes are
often not rational and people
who commit the crime dont
consider being punished.
Experts across the eld of
justice seem to be reaching the
same opinion whether from
academia or those serving on
the frontlines.
Polls have found that 75 per-
cent of criminologists and 67
percent of U.S. police chiefs do
not think that the death pen-
alty is a good deterrence.
Former Texas Attorney Gen-
eral Jim Mattox said, It is my
own experience that those ex-
ecuted in Texas were not de-
terred by the existence of the
death penalty law.
The only remaining reason is
for revenge.
If someone slaughtered my
family, I would want them to
suffer, but we, as a society,
must not do so at the expense
of murdering another innocent
person.
There are no second chanc-
es with capital punishment and
the risk of a mistake is far too
great.
The death penalty has failed
our nation and it is time we ful-
ll our legal, intellectual and
moral obligation by sentencing
it to death.
Id rather see a hundred mur-
derers spend their lives rotting
in a prison cell than kill one in-
nocent person.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Columnist makes Ann error
Chris Raines Nov. 2 column,
We Can Learn From Hatred,
presents a practical method for
ghting racism and bigotry: al-
low these positions into a pub-
lic forum.
As Raine says, such views
are easily seen through. Try as
I may, though, I cannot see any
similarity between Prussian
Blue and Ann Coulter.
I will freely admit that
Coulter often fills her columns
with uncivil vitriol aimed at
her political opponents. But
does this equate her with a vi-
cious homophobe or avowed
racists?
The random insertion of
her name among noted hate-
mongers implies that political
conservatism and racism are
related, a position that has no
merit.
Examples of hate among the
political left are easy to nd.
Democratic Congressman Rob-
ert Byrd is a former member of
the KKK.
Jessie Jackson and Louis
Farrakhan have made numer-
ous anti-Semitic statements.
Hateful political speech can be
found among the statements
of leftist pundits Al Franken,
Janeane Garofalo and Michael
Moore. Howard Dean has stat-
ed that he hates Republicans
and everything they stand
for.
It is intellectually dishon-
est to suggest that bigotry and
racism are any more afliated
with one end of the political
spectrum than another.
Politicizing these problems
does nothing to solve them.

There is no place for outdated, outlandish and

OK, so when your playing foosball, and your on

I think it also has 17,000 stairs.

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck

Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his

There is no theory of evolution, just a list of

Im just calling because a couple of weeks ago,

my name was mentioned in the Free for All, and
I wasnt identied as a heterosexual. Im kind
of upset about that.

My friend just said that she would sleep with anyone

for a piece of Longhorn Steakhouse fried cheese-
cake, and I dont think she was kidding.

I just saw two deer staggering around in the road in

front of the Lied Center. I think they were drunk.

You know, pizza guys work for tips just like servers
do at restaurants, and its pretty bush-league that
dorm kids cant gure that out.

Im really glad I pay $100 for sports tickets, and then I

have to pay one dollar to redeem them online and $2.50
if I want to give them to one of my friends and then
more money if Ive been responsible enough to keep
my I.D. for four years. Cool! KU Athletics is awesome.

Texas junior quarterback Vince Young prepares to throwa pass downfeld during the frst half
of Saturdays game against Kansas in Austin, Texas. The Heisman candidate was 19-of-27 for 281
yards with four touchdowns.
Young passes record,
Kansas in 2 quarters
By Daniel Berk
dberk@kansan.com
Kansan senior sportswriter
AUSTIN, Texas Texas quarterback
Vince Young stood on the sideline midway
through the third quarter Saturday with his
helmet off and his shoulder pads unlatched.
His day was over.
It wasnt because of injury that Young
was done, but rather because Texas was
leading 59-7 and Texas football coach
Mack Brown did not want to risk injury
to the Heisman candidate.
Young had a short-lived, but effective
day, throwing for four touchdowns and
nearly 300 yards.
I was just able to get outside and
throw, Young said. We went out there
and took care of business. It wasnt just
me, it was the whole team.
It didnt take long for Young to make a
play against the Kansas defense. On the
third drive of the game, Young was forced
out of the pocket at the Kansas 45-yard line.
He launched a pass to the corner of the end
zone, where sophomore receiver Limas
Sweed out-jumped Kansas senior corner-
back Theo Baines to grab the ball and the
lead.
Young struck again two series later, this
time connecting with freshman receiver
Quan Cosby on a 64-yard touchdown pass.
Young threw the ball up and Cosby was
interfered by Kansas senior safety Rodney
Fowler, but still managed to make the catch
and wrestle his way into the end zone.
The damage was done after the frst
quarter. Young had already thrown for
159 yards and two touchdowns.
After the frst series in the third quar-
ter, Brown replaced Young in the lineup.
Its really a hard decision to make,
Brown said. I want to be fair to Vince
because he is in the running for Heis-
man. At halftime, we decided he would
only play one series. You dont want to
send a message were shutting down, but
you have to be careful.
Young did all of his damage through
the air, rather than using his trademark
running. Brown said the team had to
throw more in the frst half because Kan-
sas stacked defenders close to the line of
scrimmage to stop the run.
In the second quarter, Young broke
a Texas school record for total offense
when he completed a 32-yard pass. Young
passed former Texas quarterback Major
Applewhite, who had 8,059 total yards.
Young now has 8,269 yards in his career.
He still has three games left this season
and an entire season next year, if he de-
cides to return for a senior campaign.
Young was asked on senior day if he
would return next year. He quickly re-
sponded, however, with a no.
Youngs game this year against Kansas
was dramatically different than his per-
formance last year. Young rushed for 114
yards and passed for 289 yards, but had
two interceptions in that game.
This year, Young had negative four
rushing yards, but did not throw an inter-
ception with his four touchdown passes.
In 2004, Texas escaped Lawrence with
a 27-23 victory. After the game, Kansas
football coach Mark Mangino made
comments about the game and the infu-
ence of the Bowl Championship Series
on the outcome of the game. Young took
Manginos comments personally.
He was talking about our players and
our coaches, and you dont do that,
Young said.
Young and the rest of the Texas team
clinched the Big 12 South division with
the victory and will now have a week off
before traveling to Texas A&M for its
regular season fnale.

Editors Note: The Kansan Big 12 Power Rankings
are voted on by Ryan Colaianni and Daniel Berk, Kansas
football writers, as well as Kellis Robinett, sports editor,
and Eric Sorrentino, associate sports editor.
Finally all Big 12 Conference schools
have a conference victory after last weekend.
Oklahoma State surprised Texas Tech and
put its seemingly automatic Cotton Bowl Bid
in jeopardy. The loss moved the Red Raiders
down a spot from last week to third. Oklaho-
ma State moved out of the last spot to 10th.
The power rankings are becoming more
comparable to past years with Oklahoma
jumping two spots. The Sooners have won
four games in a row after their 36-30 victory
against Texas A&M in Norman, Okla. Okla-
homa received three votes for second and one
vote for third.
Sophomore Adrian Peterson continued to
control the clock for the Sooners. He turned
in a workmanlike performance with 135 yards
rushing and two scores.
Kansas State made a first-time appearance
in the last place spot. The Wildcats lost to the
Nebraska Cornhuskers and have now dropped
five straight games. Two voters chose Baylor
as last, but it received one vote for tenth.
All eyes continue to be on the dominance of
the Texas Longhorns. With a convincing 66-14
victory against Kansas, their only remaining
tests come in College Station against Texas
A&M and in the Big 12 Championship game
in Houston.
After this weekend, the Big 12 has seven
teams that are bowl eligible with six victories.
They are Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Colo-
rado, Iowa State, Missouri and Nebraska.

senior quarterback Jason swanson gets tripped by a Texas defender during
the frst half of Saturdays game in Austin, Texas. Swanson was 17-of-35
passing for 148 yards and one interception. He was sacked twice for a total
loss of more than 20 yards.
Texas beneftted fromits time of pos-
session and held onto the football 10
minutes longer than Kansas. This led to
the KUdefense getting fatigued.
I dont know if guys were tired or
what, but there defnitely was a lack of
energy, senior linebacker Kevin Kane
said.
Young surprisingly didnot leadTexas
in rushing. Kansas held the junior quar-
terback to negative four yards rushing,
but a supporting cast of running backs
compensated for Youngs defcit.
They ran for an ungodly amount of
yards, Reid said.
Five Texas running backs had more
than seven carries. Texas running back
Ramonce Taylor scored twice and had
96 yards on 14 carries.
It was obviously disappointing to
see what they were doing to us and we
arenot usedtothat this year, Kanesaid.
At times it was defnitely frustrating,
but you cant look back on it right now.
We just have to learn fromour mistakes
and correct what we did wrong and just
basically play a lot better.
Kansas hadnt allowedmore than75
yards rushing toanindividual player all
season. The Longhorns had three play-
ers who rushed for at least 70 yards.
The Kansas defense appeared to
be up to the test on Texas frst two
offensive drives, stopping Texas from
scoring.
Texas proved this success to be
short-lived.
The Jayhawks had minor success on
the ground. Junior running back Jon
Cornish and senior running back Clark
Green had 126 yards combined.
With the loss, Kansas one oppor-
tunity left to get its sixth victory and
qualify for a bowl game is against Iowa
State on Nov. 26. Mangino said that the
teams focus wouldstrictly be onachiev-
ing a bowl berth.

Bills take down Chiefs
By John WaWroW
The AssociATed Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.
J.P. Losman discovered some-
thing about himself while he
spent the last month stewing on
the sideline.
The angrier he is, the better
he plays.
Taking all the emotions that
built up since losing his start-
ing job to Kelly Holcomb, Los-
man let loose his frustrations
on the Kansas City Chiefs,
leading the Buffalo Bills to a
14-3 victory Sunday.
Stepping in after Holcomb
sustained a concussion in the
second quarter, Losman engi-
neered scoring drives on two
of his frst four possessions,
showing hes ready to reclaim
his old job.
I like playing mad. I like
playing upset, Losman said. I
feel like it was a comeback for
me. Whether I played good or
bad, I loved the way I focused. I
loved the way I was concentrat-
ing. I loved that anger.
Losman fnished 9-of-16 for
137 yards, hitting Lee Evans for
both touchdowns. Losman was
focused and effcient, looking
nothing like the hesitant frst-
year starter who went 1-3 before
being replaced by Holcomb fol-
lowing a 19-7 loss to New Or-
leans on Oct. 2.
The Bills (4-5), coming off
their bye week, snapped a two-
game losing streak and won
with a defense further depleted
by injuries.
Defensive tackle Sam Adams
missed his frst game of the sea-
son because of a knee injury and
veteran free safety Troy Vincent
hurt his shoulder in the second
quarter and didnt return.
The Bills generated three
interceptions, a fumble and
six sacks. Kansas Citys three
points were the fewest Buf-
falo has allowed since beating
New England 31-0 in the 2003
season opener.
Kansas City (5-4) lost its ffth
straight game at Buffalo, and
failed to build off a last-second
27-23 win over Oakland last
weekend.
Trent Green was uncharacter-
istically sloppy, going 23-of-40
for 220 yards and three inter-
ceptions after throwing three
in his previous eight games. His
41.7 passer rating was his worst
since a 35.5 against the New
York Jets in 2001.
Its very frustrating, Green
said. We had too many turn-
overs and they played very good
bend-but-dont-break defense.
They had two big plays and we
didnt have any.
Larry Johnson had 132 yards
rushing in his frst start since
the Chiefs placed Priest Holm-
es on injured reserve because of
head and neck injuries earlier
this week.
Kansas City lost despite
generating more yards (316 to
Buffalos 209), more frst downs
(22-9) and controlling the ball
for nearly 35 minutes.
The problem was how the
Chiefs persistently squandered
opportunities.
Of seven drives into Buf-
falo territory, Kansas City
mustered Lawrence Tynes
35-yard field goal that opened
the scoring.
The other six drives ended
with two punts, two missed
field goals, a fumble and giv-
ing the ball up on downs.
Even though you con-
trol the ball for 10 minutes
more and make more yards, it
doesnt matter, Chiefs coach
Dick Vermeil said. You have
to score points. Its disap-
pointing to come up here and
not play better.
Defensive end Jared Allen put
the loss on the defense.
We should have won the
game 3-0, Allen said. For
two plays they were better than
us. And that was the deciding
factor.
The Bills defense wasnt go-
ing to let this one get away.
They came in and tried to
take over our house and we
werent going to let it hap-
pen, said linebacker London
Fletcher, who led the team
with 20 tackles.
Linebacker Jeff Posey noted
Losmans play.
To be able to come in
when his number is called,
that says a lot about the guy,
Posey said. It tells you what
kind of character, what kind
of guy he is.
Losmans first touchdown
pass a 33-yarder to Evans
came on his first series. His
second touchdown pass, com-
ing midway through the third
quarter, was his best throw.
He hit Evans with a perfectly
placed pass over the receivers
right shoulder, in stride and a
step ahead of Eric Warfield.
That just came with having
a lot of pocket poise and just
trusting and throwing, Evans
said, referring to Losman. I
think hes got a lot more con-
fidence.

NFL
Seattle tightens hold
BY GREGG BELL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE The NFC West
race might have ended Sunday.
Seattles Shaun Alexander
romped again, this time for 165
yards on a season-high 33 carries
and three touchdowns, and the
Seahawks beat the mistake-prone
Rams 31-16 at Qwest Field.
The Seahawks (7-2) turned St.
Louis botched fake eld goal at-
tempt in the second quarter into
a 24-3 scoring run. They have
a three-game division lead on
second-place St. Louis, which
had won two straight to resusci-
tate its season. Essentially, that
is a four-game bulge with seven
regular-season games remaining
because Seattle has swept St.
Louis after losing the previous
four to the Rams (4-5).
Seattle has won ve straight
overall for the rst time since
1999.
Despite many misplays, the
Rams closed to 24-16 with exactly
7 minutes left. Quarterback Marc
Bulgers 14-yard, fourth-down
touchdown pass through the mist
found Torry Holt, playing his rst
game in four weeks after being
sidelined by strained knee liga-
ments. Bulger was also playing
for the rst time in four weeks,
coming off a strained shoulder.
But then Alexander and quar-
terback Matt Hasselbeck each
converted third-and-1 runs. Se-
attle ran six straight times, then
converted two more rst downs
before Alexander dashed 17 yards
for his third score with 1:12 left.
The game turned decisively
with 11:09 remaining in the rst
half. St. Louis led 3-0 and lined
up for a fourth-and-3 play at the
Seattle 8. The Rams rst tried
to draw the Seahawks offside.
When that failed, they called
timeout, then lined up for Jeff
Wilkins 25-yard eld goal. But
holder Dane Looker instead
ipped a lateral to Wilkins. The
kicker was looking to pass to
Cameron Cleeland, who was
open near the 5.
But Marcus Trufant, stay-
ing home on the right defen-
sive ank, charged at Wilkins
and forced him to pull the ball
down. His run was far short of
the rst down.
Instead of a 6-0 Rams lead,
Seattle marched 86 yards to take
a 7-3 edge. Matt Hasselbecks
perfectly placed 47-yard pass
to reserve receiver D.J. Hackett
moved the ball to the St. Louis
6. Alexander ran in for his rst
touchdown.
Bulger then threw an inter-
ception to Seattles Michael
Boulware when his receiver,
Kevin Curtis, slipped. The Se-
ahawks went 78 yards the other
way for Josh Browns 31-yard
eld goal 15 seconds before the
end of the half.
Seattle outscored St. Louis
24-3 and outgained the Rams
281-46 after the botched fake
eld goal through the rst 10
minutes of the second half.
Bulger nished 28-for-40
with 304 yards, a touchdown
and an interception. He was
frustrated after uncharacteris-
tic misplays by four-time Pro
Bowler Holt. In the rst quar-
ter, a wide-open Holt appeared
to not see Bulgers accurate
40-yard pass. The ball skidded
at Holts feet near the 5-yard
line.
Then Bulger tried to rally St.
Louis from its 24-6 hole late
in the third quarter. His pre-
cise pass to the back corner of
the end zone, where Holt had
beaten Seattles Kelly Herndon,
appeared to go through Holts
raised hands.

Texas Tech junior outside hit-
ter Philister Sang recorded nine

match with 21 and led all players.
Kansas dominated game two.
Browns big game led the Jay-
hawks to a 30-25 victory. She
recorded eight of her 14 kills in
the game. The Jayhawks outhit
the Red Raiders .286 to .216 and
did so by getting back to their
style of game, Bechard said.
For the rst game or so we
needed to get them to do what
we do better, and I thought
we did that in games two and
three, he said.
The Red Raiders looked like
they were ready to go home in
game three. The Jayhawks were
in control from start to nish,
winning 30-22. Kansas ended
up with nine service aces against
seven errors.
Last year, with three to play, we
had six conference wins. Weve got
seven right now. Obviously weve
got a tough last three matches, so
I dont want to draw too many
comparisons, Bechard said.
Brown said she was con-
dent in the Jayhawks abilities to
make the postseason.
Its not just a prayer, she
said. If we keep playing like
this well be ne.

Offense drives up score

KANSAN SPORTSWRITER
After three years of defeats at
the hands of Kansas State, the
rowing team won the Sunflower
Showdown, 14-10, on Saturday
in Manhattan.
Were pumped, senior Alexis
Boston said. All the girls did an
amazing job and were really ex-
cited. We really pulled through.
Boston competed in the first
varsity eight with a time of 6:36.2.
The Wildcats were 10 seconds be-
hind with a time of 6:46.3. The
victory gave Kansas eight points.
Despite rough conditions in the
last race of the day, the varsity four
still took first place and its three
points with a time of 7:05.6.
The KU varsity squad lost only
once in the second varsity eight
boat.
We raced really hard the entire
time and fought to the finish,
said senior Gillian Van Ruyven,
in the second varsity eight boat.
We tried coming back from be-
hind and we did. But then K-State
beat us at the last second.
Despite losing, Van Ruyven
said the overall Kansas victory
was more important.
It was a disappointment to
lose Ruyven said, but we met
our goal and that was to beat K-
State.
Kansas entered two boats in
each race at the novice level. The
Jayhawks took first and third in
the second novice eight, and won
three more points for the first
place finish. Kansas took second
and third in the first novice eight
race.
They did really well, especial-
ly with the rough water and wind
that they encountered through-
out the morning, Kansas rowing
coach Rob Catloth said. We had
a really good fall season, and now
well get ready for our spring sea-
son.
The rowing team will scale back
its practices and spend more time
focusing on school in the weeks
ahead. Kansas will not compete
again until March 23, when it will
open the spring season in Dallas.
We couldnt have asked for a
better ending to our season to
beat K-State, junior Tiffany Jef-
fers said.

Last season, a suspect offense
made it diffcult for Kansas to keep
up with high scoring teams.
Already in two games this
season, Kansas has scored 90
and 83 points. The Jayhawks
scored more than 80 points only
once all of last season in an
exhibition game against Fort
Hays State.
Kansas newfound offense
can be attributed to improved
depth, especially at the point
guard position. Kansas wom-
ens basketball coach Bonnie
Henrickson now has two true
point guards, freshman Ivana
Catic and junior Shaquina
Mosley. The two guards have
created scoring opportunities
for their teammates, leading to
the increased scoring.
I thought we did a good
job in our frst two exhibition
games, Hallman said. Of
course, weve got to get better
defensively and put some more
things in offensively.
Last season Hallman played
point guard, but she has re-
turned to shooting guard this
season because of Catic and
Mosley. Henrickson has uti-
lized senior Kaylee Brown at
the point guard position as
well.
Opponents are beginning to rec-
ognize Kansas talent, especially at
the guard positions.
Their perimeter play especially
is going to be hard to deal with,
Emporia State womens basketball
coach Brandon Schneider said.
Henrickson said the depth at the
guard position allowed her to use
more defensive traps and presses to
create transition baskets.
If you dont have depth youre
going to press your best kids off the
foor, Henrickson said. I think
we have the depth now to do it.
The KU defense has created
57 turnovers in the two exhibi-
tion games this season.
Kansas opens regular season
play Sunday at Allen Fieldhouse
against Binghamton. Tip-off is set

Two points at the Midwest Re-
gional Championship were all that
kept the Kansas mens cross coun-
try team from an automatic bid
into the NCAA Championships on
Nov. 21.
The top two teams, Oklahoma
State and Iowa, received automatic
bids.
Kansas will now have to rely on
at-large points to earn one of 13 at-
large spots in the championships.
The announcement of whether
Kansas makes it to the champion-
ships will be today, according to
NCAAsports.com.
I think our chances are strong
that well qualify, Redwine said.
We helped ourselves by perform-
ing well in the seasons earlier
meets.
Sophomore Colby Wissel, who
came in 15th place, said he thought
Kansas had a strong chance at get-
ting an at-large spot.
Kansas third-place fnish in the
Midwest Regional in Iowa City,
Iowa, was the teams best since
1994.
Oklahoma State fnished frst
overall in the 10K race with a to-
tal of 49 points, followed by Iowa
with 72 points and Kansas with 74
points.
Kansas was led by sophomore
Paul Hefferon, who fnished with a
time of 31:10, taking the No. 8 spot
overall.
Two-time Big 12 champion
Benson Chesang fnished 11th
overall with a time of 31:17 for
the Jayhawks.
Kansas had fve runners who
achieved all-regional honors by
fnishing in the top 25 individually:
Hefferon, Chesang, Wissel, junior
Tyler Kelly and junior Erik Sloan.
The womens team fnished 11th
overall, an improvement from last
years 16th place fnish. The Jay-
hawks were led by sophomore
Lisa Morrisey, who fnished 43rd
overall in the 6K race with a time
of 22:36. Morrisey was followed by
junior Laura Major in 51st place
and senior Angela Pichardo in
76th place.
We had some injuries that
hurt us a bit today, Redwine said.
Our goal was to fnish in the top
10, but unfortunately that didnt
happen.
The womens team is unlikely to
earn an at-large spot in the national
championship.

COLUMBIA, Mo. The Tigers 31-16 vic-

they still have an outside shot at making it to

This season represents a mild resurgence
at best for Missouri (6-4, 4-3 Big 12), viewed
as a team on the rise two seasons ago but
coming off a 5-6 year that cast doubt on Mis-

Jamaal Charles, Texas freshman running back, escapes from Kansas freshman linebacker Mike
Rivera on Saturday in Austin, Texas. Kansas fell to No. 2 Texas 66-14.

KANSAN STAFF WRITER

AUSTIN, Texas So much for a top-ranked
defense.
The Kansas defense allowed more than 600
yards of total offense against No. 2 Texas on Sat-
urday. Coming into the game, the defense was
frst in the nation against the run. The Jayhawks
allowed 336 yards of rushing to the Longhorns.
Texas accumulated 52 frst-half points in the 66-
14 victory that was essentially decided in the frst
quarter.
They just kicked the defenses butt all over the
feld in the frst half, senior linebacker Nick Reid
said. It was pretty embarrassing. Cant really say
anything more than that. They put it to us.
The KU offense didnt fair much better at
Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Kan-
sas didnt gain a frst down until the 10:13 mark
in the second quarter. But by the time this hap-
pened, Texas was ahead 42-0.
Texas set the tone early. Its frst touchdown
came from a 45-yard strike from Texas quar-
terback Vince Young to wide receiver Limas
Sweed.
Kansas wide receiver Greg Heaggans fumbled
the ensuing kickoff, which gave Texas a short feld
to score. Longhorns running back Jamaal Charles
capitalized on the frst play after the fumble on a
10-yard touchdown run.
You cant give Texas 14 points right off the
bat, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said.
Thats not good football. We kept them out
there too long. We just cant do that.

Kansas mens basketball coach Bill
Self hopes most of the jitters have settled
in the stomachs of his freshman play-
ers. Despite playing well on Wednesday
against Fort Hays State, the newcomers
were consumed with nervousness.
Rush said he was nervous before
Wednesdays game, but would be more
prepared for tonights game.
I had sweating hands, my stomach
was churning, everything, Rush said.
But I got kind of used to it after a while.
I think I will be ready to go next time.
When Kansas takes on Pittsburg State to-
night at 7 at Allen Fieldhouse, Self said he
would like to further evaluate his rookies.
These guys are all great players, Self
said. But we have to see what they can
do when the lights are on them.
Wednesday was a good test because it
gave the freshmen Micah Downs, Ma-
rio Chalmers, Julian Wright and Brandon
Rush a taste of what it would be like to
play in front of 16,000 fans, Self said.
Tonights game, the fnal contest of the
exhibition season, will be the freshmens
last opportunity to shake off the nerves
before the season opener at home against
Idaho State on Friday.
Most likely, Self will switch up the start-
ing lineup from what it was on Wednes-
day. He said he would do that frequently
until he fnds the best arrangement of
players. The starting lineup against Fort
Hays State consisted of sophomore guard
Russell Robinson, sophomore center C.J.
Giles, senior guard Stephen Vinson, se-
nior forward Christian Moody and fresh-
man guard Chalmers.
Many players will see major minutes
tonight because if they play as fast as Self
wants, he said they would be gassed af-
ter 20 minutes.
Sophomore center Sasha Kaun, who
gained weight during the offseason, showed
his strength against Fort Hays State. He
scored 23 points in the Jayhawks frst con-
test, while Robinson dished out 11 assists.
Rush, who was the highest scoring fresh-
man, showed fashes of his scoring poten-
tial on Wednesday, Self said. Fifteen of his
17 points came in the second half.
With such a young team, getting the
players ready to go will be the most impor-
tant aspect to fnish the exhibition season.
The next two weeks will be hectic for
the Jayhawks.

One look at the fnal statistics was all it took
to bring a smile to Taylor McIntoshs face.
McIntosh, sophomore forward, scored 10
points in Kansas 83-53 exhibition victory
against Emporia State on Sunday, a week after
going scoreless and fouling out of the teams
frst game.
Today I just felt more focused and more
relaxed, McIntosh said. I was just hyped up
after the frst game when I went out there and
didnt do anything.
McIntosh scored nine points in nine minutes
of work in the frst half. She was able to get
her early points in transition, beating Emporia
States post players in the paint.
Kansas womens basketball coach Bonnie
Henrickson said the KU defense was a sore
spot last week. On Sunday, Kansas held Em-
poria State to 27 percent shooting in the first
half.
The Hornets scored their first field goal with
12:45 remaining in the first half, nearly eight
minutes into the game. After that basket, Em-
poria State brought the game within two points
by capitalizing on five KU turnovers.
To stop the Emporia State run, Kansas turned
up the defensive pressure. Junior guard Shaqui-
na Mosley scored four points and drew a charge
as Kansas rebuilt its lead.
The press helped produce 29 Hornet turn-
overs and 36 Jayhawk points.
Henrickson said the team was able to use the
press because of improved depth, especially at
the point guard position.
Its something we feel we can use situation-
ally now, Henrickson said. We were going to
try to control tempo, play fast and slow it down
when we wanted to.
Sloppy play to open the second half allowed
Kansas to push the game out of reach.
The Jayhawks were forced to find offense
without the help of senior forward Crystal
Kemp. Kemp only scored four points and was
2-of-9 from the field, a week after putting up
a game-high 24 points against Pittsburg State.
Senior guards Kaylee Brown, 16 points, and
Erica Hallman, 13 points, helped pick up the
slack.
Weve got some more people who can put
the ball in the basket, which helps us in the
long run, Hallman said. People cant just
key on Crystal. They have to worry about five
people.
Three Kansas starters McIntosh, Hallman
and Brown fnished the game with double-
digit points.
Notes:
F Kansas was undefeated in exhibition play after
going 1-1 last season. Kansas lost to the West
Coast All Stars 60-58, last season.
FMcIntosh picked up a technical foul in the frst
half when she tied up Emporia States Michelle
Stueve. Henrickson said the foul was called be-
cause McIntosh pushed Stueve.
FMosley left the game with 6:22 remaining in the
second half. Henrickson said Mosley tweaked
her left ankle.
FThe Athletics Department listed the attendance
at 2,234, which included a large number of Em-
poria State fans.
FKansas received one vote in the Associated
Press preseason poll. Kansas was last ranked
on Feb. 21, 2000.

With backs frmly pressed
against the wall, the Jayhawks
are playing their best volleyball in
nearly a month and a half.
Kansas played with a sense
of desperation on Saturday
against Texas Tech at the Hore-
jsi Family Athletics Center.
Kansas won its third straight
match, dismantling a listless
Texas Tech squad in three
games.
Theres urgency, Kansas
volleyball coach Ray Bechard
said. You can tell, within our
team, knowing that we want to
keep playing into December.
Kansas will likely have to win
its last three matches, against
Texas A&M, Missouri and Iowa
State, to have a chance of a
berth in the NCAA tournament,
which starts Dec. 1.
With the victory, Kansas (15-
11, 7-10 Big 12) moved past Iowa
State into sixth place in the Big
12 Conference standings. Texas
Tech dropped to 11-16 overall
and 4-12 in the conference.
The Jayhawks won with
grit and determination. It
wasnt flashy or spectacular.
Bechard said it was what the
Jayhawks had to have in or-
der to stay alive in their post-
season hunt.
At times it wasnt the prettiest
match, but this time of year when
you can win 3-0 and three in a row,
youre pleased, Bechard said.
Sophomore opposite hitter
Emily Brown continued her
late-season surge with 14 kills
against Texas Tech. Senior mid-
dle blocker Josi Lima added 11
kills, fve digs and three blocks.
Kansas came out of game
one with a 30-26 victory. After
jumping out to a 10-4 lead, the
Jayhawks never relinquished the
advantage. They were outhit .263
to .162 by the Red Raiders, but
used three aces to come away
with a game.
