The University of Kansas has $168.5 million in backlog. The University of Kansas Medical Center has $68.8 million. In order to prevent further backlog, state universities would need $74 million a year in maintenance funds. Only $7 million was available in 2005. The University had to raise the

Repairing roofs, steam tunnels and electrical systems are at the top of the list if the state legislature approves a plan to improve facilities at Kansas state universities. The Kansas Board of Regents approved a plan Thursday that would fund improvements through a one-tenth of a cent sales tax increase. The tax would be defunct after 10 years. State universities have a maintenance backlog for university buildings that totals $584 million. If that number continues to increase, it could reach close to $800 million by 2014.

rest of the money for improvements itself, Peterson said. The state also would raise $150 million in bonds through the states Educational Building Fund. After a certain period of time, the state would pay what it owed to the fund as well as the interest it collected. The fund also would receive a $1 million increase to provide funding for annual maintenance. The steam tunnels that run through campus are crumbling, and the electrical distribution is not working as well as it should. The electrical distribution system regulates how power runs through campus.

Sports Illustrated On Campus will soon be only online. Sports Illustrateds biweekly college sports magazine will publish exclusively online following its Dec. 1 issue, the magazine announced earlier this month. The magazines print version was previously available only on 150 college campuses of all sizes across the country, such as North Carolina, Air Force Academy, Utah Valley State and Kansas. It will now be available to everyone at its Web site, www.sioncampus.com. Terry McDonell, Sports Illustrated Managing Editor, said the change was made to reach an audience larger than it could reach with its print version. The successful launch of SIOncampus.com has enabled us to deliver both the attitude and substance that made SI On Campus click with students to an even broader audience, McDonell said. Despite the move online to gain more readership, students such as Amy Adams, Hays junior, think the move online will draw less readers than the print version. I just dont think that anyone will read it online, Adams said. It was just easier to read it in the paper on Thursdays. Allison Keane, Sports Illustrated media relations representative, said the magazine had planned a guerrilla marketing campaign to advertise the move online to college campuses, specifically those schools that hadnt received the magazine in the past. Well market through blogs and campus events done by our campus consultants, Keane said.

Suse Goericke will celebrate Thanksgiving casually, just how she likes it. The Leipzig, Germany, graduate student said she planned to eat dinner with some professors and see a movie. Holidays are different here than at home in Germany, she said. I like American family holidays because they are so chill, she said.

Goericke faces the dilemma of what international students and Americans abroad face: what to do with the American holiday of Thanksgiving. Some celebrate casually like Goericke. Others who cant go home stay with families throughout Kansas with a University exchange. Students abroad who cant come home make do with celebrations in their host countries. Down-home Thanksgiving International Student and

Scholar Services offers an exchange program so international students can stay with a family for all or part of Thanksgiving break. The program has been around for 51 years and has 32 students staying with nearly 20 families throughout Kansas.

Editors note: University Daily Kansan reporter Frank Tankard writes a weekly feature on KU students, faculty and staff. This weeks student was chosen at random. Shes sitting here on her bed with turquoise sheets in her two-person room on the first floor of GSP Hall. Shes got her mini-fridge and her microwave, her laptop, and her big, brown teddy bear from her boyfriend nestled in the corner of her bed. Her name is Stephanie Shores. Shes a freshman from Wichita, where shes lived for the past seven years. Shes originally from Fort Worth, Texas. She came to the University of Kansas with the idea of going on to medical school to become a doctor, but lately shes been thinking about changing her major to social welfare. She shares her small, tidy room with Micole Aronowitz, her friend since middle school. Lets put her to the test with a game of Q&A. Q: Whats been the hardest adjustment youve had to make since coming to college?

A: Being away from my mom and my sister. Since theyre not here anymore its sort of like, Wow, this is really weird. Q: Whats the best part of living in a dorm? A: The people. The people in this dorm are so energetic, always trying to include other people, trying to sit down and talk to you. I think thats really cool. Q: (for roommate Micole): Whats the hardest part of being roommates with Stephanie? A: We know each other so well. I think we both try not to get on each others nerves. Were overly nice. Q: Whats the weirdest thing people dont know about you? A: I have a tendency to sing in the shower. People dont know that. Its kind of crazy. Q: Do you sing in the shower at GSP? A: I have once. I didnt think anybody was in there. Then I heard the door open and was like, OK, Id better stop. Q: If you could be any beverage, what would you be? A: Dr Pepper. Im obsessed with Dr Pepper.

Q: What do you call a sweet, flavored, carbonated beverage? Pop, soda, coke? A: I say drink because I dont want to offend anybody. I figured Id just go with a neutral word. Q: Whats been your favorite experience at KU? A: The football game against Nebraska. When I came up here, it was the first time Id been to a college football game, and that was a fun game to go to. Q: Why was beating Nebraska better than beating Missouri? A: Just because we were finally able to beat them after 30 some-odd years, and the atmosphere was so much fun. The energy in the crowd and the student section was just phenomenal. Q: Whos your favorite KU basketball player? A: Christian Moody. Hes such a good player. Hes cute, too. I think every girl on campus thinks so. Q: Whats the most beautiful building on campus? A: Watson Library. I especially think the outside of it looks so pretty.
Kim Andrews/KANSAN

Stephanie Shores, Wichita freshman, is tentatively a pre-med major, but she is considering switching to social welfare. Shores boyfriend sends her flowers to adorn her room. Q: Whats your advice to next years freshmen? A: Probably just to enjoy it as much as possible. You only get to have your first year once. Get involved. Just have fun.

DETROIT In the past few weeks, General Motors Corp. has been facing a near constant drumbeat of negative news and bankruptcy whispers, putting chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner under considerable pressure to speed up his turnaround plan. Wagoner sent employees a memo last week, assuring them that bankruptcy isnt on the radar at the worlds largest automaker. He took further action Monday, saying the company plans to cut 30,000 hourly jobs and close 12 facilities by 2008. The announcement had been planned for next month, but the timetable was accelerated as GM shares plunged to their lowest level in 18 years. Still, investors werent satisfied. GM shares fell 47 cents, or nearly 2 percent, to close at $23.58 Monday on the New York Stock Exchange. They have traded in a 52-week range of $20.60 to $40.82. Wagoner was resolute, saying he continues to have board members confidence and hasnt considered stepping down. I have given no thought to anything but turning the business around, Wagoner said. I wasnt brought up to run and hide when things get tough. But the reaction of some analysts suggested that the drumbeat will continue. Merrill Lynch analyst John Casesa said GMs plan left many questions unanswered, including what the company would do about its growing retiree burden. The automaker now has 2.5 retirees for every active worker. At some point this becomes an untenable situation and is

the key reason that GM cannot shrink to a competitive size; that is unless the current labor agreement is drastically revised, Casesa wrote in a note to investors. Its unclear how much help GM can count on from its unions. The United Auto Workers called GMs plan devastating and warned it would make negotiations more difficult. To get production in line with demand, GM will cut 30,000 jobs, which represent 17 percent of GMs North American hourly and salaried work force of 173,000, and close nine assembly, stamping and powertrain plants and three parts facilities. GMs U.S. market share fell to 26.2 percent in the first 10 months of this year compared with 33 percent a decade ago, the result of increasing competition from Asian rivals. GM lost almost $4 billion in the first nine months of this year. The decisions we are announcing today were very difficult to reach because of their impact on our employees and the communities where we live and work, Wagoner said. But these actions are necessary for GM to get its costs in line with our major global competitors. GM isnt the only U.S. automaker cutting costs. Last week, Ford Motor Co. told employees it planned to eliminate about 4,000 white-collar jobs in North America early next year as part of a restructuring plan. GM said the plant closings were part of a plan to shave $7 billion off its $42 billion annual bill for operations by the end of next year. That includes a $3 billion cut in health care costs, $1.5 billion in manufacturing cuts and $1 billion in savings on materials.

ing contributed to the magazine during the fall semester. Keane said she had not heard any feedback on the switch from print to online editions. The types of stories in the magazine easily translate online because of their visual elements, including pictures and online polls, Keane said. Two years ago, the magazine was available in Thursday ediare in their 70s. Burns has gotten some notice for the exchange.

Harris said some of the difficulties making the meal would include converting recipes from the metric system and translating ingredients into French.

Robinson Center and Watkins Memorial Health Center are two that are in desperate need. You could go down Jayhawk Boulevard and just start naming buildings, and any of them would need their roofs repaired, Reiske said. The universities would still be responsible for funding the general upkeep of the facilities. The University will still replace doors and elevators, for instance, said Lindy Eakin, vice provost of Administration and Finance. Its like owning a house. When the toilet needs fixing or the shower head needs replacing, I can do it, Eakin said. But when it needs a new roof, I need help. Edited by Patrick Ross

Ending torture: If America doesnt, who will?

We do not torture. President Bush delivered this unequivocal message last week when questioned about interrogation practices at U.S. detention centers where detainees from the war on terrorism are held. If America is to re-establish and maintain its international image as a model of justice, human rights and moral decency, we should all hope that he is telling the truth. Torture is the deplorable practice of administering intense physical pain as a means of extracting presumably important information from a prisoner. Because of our war on terrorism and the specter of dev-

way to get information. Nine out of 10 people can be persuaded to talk with no stress methods at all. Torture will simply make a prisoner tell you anything to get you to stop. Besides its ineffectiveness, torture is a direct affront to the philosophy of innocence until proven guilt that is the foundation of the American justice system. Torture by definition must presume guilt, otherwise there would be no point in the torture. If our goal is to spread the American ideal of justice throughout the world, the use of torture is explicitly adverse to our success. Some proponents of tor-

ture will point to the fact that if captured, our own troops will most likely face severe treatment involving the worst kinds of torture from their captors. The terrorists will show no quarter; why then should we? This is precisely why we must unequivocally denounce the use of torture because our enemies will not. If we must become our enemy in order to defeat it, what is the point of fighting? We must defeat our immoral adversaries, not replace them. Vengeance serves no purpose other than bringing us closer to defeat. We must present the people of the world a clear alternative

The war on terrorism will ultimately be won not with bullets and bombs, but with ideas and examples of morality.
to the terrorists and dictators was endorse torture. Our use of torture is a tool used by our enemies to stir up anti-American fervor and recruit more members to their misguided cause. Unlike fundamentalist religion, backpack bombs or poverty, this is a weapon we

can easily take away from our opponents. Rather than add more fuel to the fires of anti-Americanism, we can suffocate it, and begin to restore our damaged credibility as a just world power. The war on terrorism will ultimately be won not with bullets and bombs, but with ideas and examples of morality. America must retake its place as the beacon of liberty, tolerance, and justice in the world, and a ban on the use of the torture will be an important first step.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

CRAPTACULAR!

It is heartening to see the meaningful dialogue and common ground between abortion-rights advocates and anti-abortion rights advocates demonstrated by Neah Galloway and Megan Salyer. Indeed, women deserve better than abortion, and everyone should be working together to promote the dignity and well-being of women and to give them real and informed choices. The column, We need more ad-options in the Nov. 16 edition of The Kansan, gave me great dismay because the accompanying headline and cartoon provided a misleading message by making central only one alternative to abortion; and in the case of the cartoon, portrayed it in a rather degrading light. Adoption is a beautiful option for some parents. Its a truly loving gift, and I have known cases where it has been a source of great joy and peace for both birth parents and adoptive parents.

Education helps pregnant mothers Adoption is a

beautiful option for some parents. its a truly loving gift, and I have known cases where it has been a source of great joy and peace for both birth parents and adoptive parents.
Adoption is not, however, the only alternative to abortion, and certainly no woman is stupid for not considering this option. Women and men of the University of Kansas, know that you have choices and that there is support for you and your child. I am a volunteer at Birth-

right of Lawrence; and as a newcomer in town, I have been thoroughly impressed by the resources available to pregnant mothers and their children, as well as for fathers and families, in the Lawrence area. Birthright is a non-prot, nonsectarian, non-partisan pregnancy resource center dedicated to serving and supporting women and men facing unplanned or difcult pregnancies. All of the services are completely free and condential, and they include pregnancy testing, maternity and baby supplies, information and connections to resources available in the community, including adoption if desired, as well as a shoulder to lean on and ears to listen.

SAY A LITTLE PRATHER FOR YOU

Wash your hands, stop diseases

Aaaachooo! With the onset of cold and u season, washing your hands is extremely imperative. I have witnessed on countless occasions girls not washing their hands after leaving the restroom. Each time, I am absolutely appalled and disgusted that such a simple step to preventing illness is skipped over. The National Center for Infectious Disease (NCID) stated that hand washing was the single most effective way to stop the spread of disease. The NCID also stated that the way in which most diseases were spread was through touching your eyes, nose or mouth after having contact with a sick person. Diseases that are spread through infrequent hand washing range from the common cold to more serious diseases such as meningitis or Hepatitis A. The Federal Food and Drug Administrations Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition found that poor hygiene because of lack of hand washing was the cause of one third of all cases of food borne illnesses in 1998. not nearby or when its just not possible to wash your hands. You cant go run and wash your hands after making a deposit at the bank while in your car. But the point here is that washing your hands is easy to do and is more effective than any vitamin or u shot you may take. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that washing your hands for 15 seconds with warm soap and water is the best method of hand washing. Hand sanitizers actually increase the amount of bacteria on your hand, so they should be avoided. It may have sounded like nagging when your mother told you to wash your hands before coming to the dinner table, but she clearly had a good reason. This cold and u season, go buy some great smelling soap and lather up. And if you really dont want to wash your hands, dont use the bathroom in Wescoe, because I know who you are.

Think about the door handles at the entrance to the Underground at Wescoe. It takes just one person to cough or sneeze into his or her hand and open the door to begin an epidemic of disease. Suppose you come along next and open the door. You then proceed to buy your delicious lunch of Chick-Fil-A, only to serve yourself a nice helping of bacteria when you eat your chicken ngers with your unwashed hands. According to Mens Fitness Magazine, there are several times you should cleanse your hands: after petting an animal, after coughing or sneezing, after handling money, after using the restroom and after changing a diaper.

Bono says his legacy is music, not activism

NEW YORK Bono says hed rather be remembered for his music than for his activism. A dedicated lobbyist for the worlds poor and AIDS-stricken, the U2 frontman told CBS 60 Minutes that I think my work the activism will be forgotten. And I hope it will. Because I hope those problems will have gone away, he said in an interview that aired Sunday. Since 1999, Bono has helped persuade Republicans and Democrats, presidents and lawmakers, to provide millions of dollars to help end the scourge of AIDS, eliminate poverty in Africa and forgive Third World debt. The Irish rocker also predicted that his music would still be around in 100 years, explaining that his songs occupy an emotional terrain that didnt exist before our group did.

Surfer still competing after shark attack

HALEIWA, Hawaii Bethany Hamilton, the teen surfer who lost her arm in a shark attack two years ago, said shes finally getting attention for catching waves. A lot of people dont really think I can surf, but I like to show them what I can do, Hamilton, 15, said after braving the pounding surf. It definitely makes me known as a surfer. She lost her qualifying heat in the Roxy Pro womens surfing competition Friday, behind Honolulus Carissa Moore, but ahead of two other experienced surfers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2005: Much emphasis will be on your career and sense of direction. How you handle the obstacles that appear could define the exact nature of your year. Many burdens are placed on your shoulders. Think before making any major decisions. You are actually beginning a new 11-year luck cycle, so looking within often helps you find the right direction. Confusion surrounds your home life. Is there a skeleton in your closet? Or is someone withholding something? Check for leaks this year and handle them immediately. If you are single, you might enjoy getting to know someone special. Could he or she be the one? If you are attached, dont always dominate. Let your partner have equal say. LEO tosses you into the limelight. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Not that anything bad or significant needs to happen, but the planets are certainly rocking and rolling today. For example, the planet that has dumped responsibilities on you left and right goes retrograde. Finally, you get a break. Tonight: Look to the long-term. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH At this point, you would be wise to pull back and disappear. Others seem bossy, and ideas could change very rapidly. You might want to rethink your perspective in the next few months. Tonight: Mosey on home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You will tend to say exactly what you think, whether others want to hear it or not. Check into a money venture with care, but do not commit or be conned. Do much more research. Others seek you out. Tonight: Go along with the program. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH Investigate what is happening within a relationship. Approach the situation slowly and diplomatically. You want this person to feel at ease. Your daily routine demands attention. Concentrate on this area of your life. Tonight: Accept an invitation out. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Though the Moon is in your sign and your smile can melt away problems, you will still need to deal with others. You are also going to feel different from how youve felt in the past few months. Note any unusual happenings in the next few days. Tonight: Do what is good for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HH Something, maybe an insight, comes from out of the blue. You might want to slow down in order to absorb this information and its implications. Dont worry about being high-energy. Contemplation might be instrumental. Tonight: Slow down. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You have a strong sense of direction, but could be thrown off by a situation you have to deal with. Though you would like to act quickly, the smart action is to slow down. If you have time, talk to key advisers. Tonight: Find your friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH You might want to rethink your work and career choices. Others might have difficulty with a parent or a community item. Take your time making a decision. Look at the long-term. Tonight: Talk through a hassle. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH The Sun enters your sign today, christening your birthday period. Still, you might not be as sure of yourself as you would like to be. Take your time making a decision that involves a partner and/or finances. Tonight: Spend time with a loved one. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH You could easily feel out of sorts, as your ruler goes retrograde today. Some of you might have been feeling this funky energy for a while. Once more, consider your priorities and long-term desires in the next few months. Tonight: Time out with a good friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Others seek you out but might have some difficulty expressing themselves or might be negative. People are dealing with a key retrograde today, though by looking at you, one would never know it. Tonight: Hang out with an easygoing person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH What you thought was a sure deal could fall apart. You might find that others simply change their minds, or a flub-up could force you to rethink a project. Work with the energy rather than fight it. Tonight: Find a way to relax.

12a The Jayhawks momentum, however, continued with back-toback three-pointers by freshman forward Micah Downs and sophomore guard Russell Robinson. The two three-point shots combined with five straight Kansas points to tighten the margin to 28-23 with under 2 minutes left to play in the first half. Two defensive stops by the Jayhawks in the final 30 seconds sent them to the locker room trailing only 35-29. To be down like that and come back, we tried, we just made silly mistakes, Self said. We were not poised at all tonight. As commanding as the Wildcats came out in the first half, they emerged from the locker room equally lethargic. The Wildcats

scored just 6 points in the first 9 minutes of the second half and shot just 28 percent for the half. The Jayhawks scored on two of their first three attempts, including a three-point shot from Rush, which brought them to within 3534. Kansas tied the game at 41 when Rush pulled down a rebound and pushed the ball up the court to freshman guard Mario Chalmers, who nailed a 10-foot jump shot with 11:32 left in the game. The Jayhawks, however, did not capitalize on the Wildcats struggling offense. I thought that was just miserable execution offensively, Self said. We had too many chances where we just came away with nothing. The Jayhawks kept pace until the Wildcats went off for a 5-0 run that put them up 46-41. Two con-

Kansas guard Russell Robinson drives on Arizonas Mustafa Shakur in the first half of an opening round game of the Maui Invitational in Lahaina, Hawaii on Monday. The Wilcats and the Jayhawks had momentum and finished the first half 35-29, with Arizona leading. Kansas struggled defensively and offensively in the second half and racked up 16 fouls. The Jayhawks went on to lose the game 61-49. secutive turnovers by Chalmers, which led to four more points for the Wildcats, widened the margin to 50-43, a deficit the Jayhawks could not overcome. We wanted to prove that we could win if we shot that lousy, if we played good defense, Arizona coach Lute Olsen said. I do think that we tired them because we have been playing this hard ever since the first practice, and I think that conditioning probably showed. The fatigue was also evident in the Jayhawks foul column. Kansas had 16 second-half fouls, five of which sent sophomore center Sasha Kaun to the bench with just less than 5 minutes left in the game. Kauns 12 points and 6 rebounds and aggressive post play had been crucial in defending Arizonas big men. The Wildcats took advantage with Kaun on the bench and finished the game with a 6-0 run. Im more disappointed with the way we played than the way we lost because Arizona is a good team, Self said. I thought we would come out and play better than that. Kansas will take the court again at 3 p.m. today when it tips off against the loser of Arkansas/Connecticut. Self said if the Jayhawks were to face the Razorbacks, not to be disillusioned just because the Razorbacks werent ranked. Theyre a very good team. Were going to have to play a lot more poised than we did tonight, Self said. Notes: Kansas senior guard Jeff Hawkins was the only player in last nights game to suffer from cramping. After diving for a loose ball with 8:33 left in the game, Hawkins remained on the ground with a cramp in his left leg. In Hawkins absence, freshman guard Mario Chalmers turned the ball over on back-to-back possessions. Downs, who was questionable for the tournament because of an ankle sprain, scored 5 points in 11 minutes. Edited by Erick R. Schmidt

Replay is OK
By Stephen hawkinS
The AssociATed Press

DALLAS While surprised at the number of plays that have been reviewed this season, Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said Monday that he was still in favor of instant replay. The good outweighs the bad, Weiberg said. The commissioner spoke to reporters at the end of the football coaches teleconference, saying he wanted to address numerous questions that had arisen since three plays were reviewed in the final 31 seconds of Texas Techs 23-21 victory against Oklahoma. Obviously, we never want to see a game come down to a disputed call or controversial

situation, Weiberg said. Fortunately, it has happened only rarely. Taurean Henderson scored a 2-yard touchdown for Texas Tech on the final play Saturday, when he stretched the ball toward the goal line while going down. An official seemed to rule touchdown, pausing after the play before signaling. The play was reviewed to determine if Hendersons knee was down before the ball crossed the line, and television replays from multiple angles didnt provide enough evidence to overturn the ruling. No question, the quality of video is an important issue, Weiberg said. The replay official is limited to what he has available to him.

12a Despite the large margin, Henrickson said her players would not underestimate Detroits ability. Detroit is good, she said. They had a big win at home against Western Carolina, who is a tournament team. Detroit womens basketball coach Mickey Barrett said he did not know much specifically about Kansas before the weekend. Preparing for these types of games early in the season is a lot different than later in the season, Barrett said. Later in the season, you can have specific preparation, but now you can only do what you do well and try to be fundamentally sound. The Titans are led by senior guard Lindsey Pasquinzo, who scored 22 of the Titans points on Sunday. Detroit arrived in Lawrence yesterday and practiced at the field-

house. The Jayhawks also held a practice yesterday but stayed away from high-intensity activities. Bonnie and the staff, they know what theyre doing in practice, and Im sure they are not going to wear us out, Catic said. Were going to be full speed. The Jayhawks will focus on stopping Pasquinzo. The team allowed Binghamtons best player, Rachel Laws, to score 20 points on Sunday. Henrickson said the emphasis on stopping star players was an effort to prepare for Big 12 conference play. The two-day turnaround will also resemble conference play. Kaylee Brown said the teams depth would keep the fast-paced offense afloat. Im not worried abut it, but we have to come out and be focused, Brown said. Were used to having a week off, so we just have to come and be ready to play. Edited by Ty Beaver

12a I will continue to work hard and try to make finals at NCAAs, Leidigh said. I could also try to get an NCAA cut in another event like the 200 fly or the 50 or 100 free. Coach Clark Campbell said that right now Leidigh had the fastest time in the 100yard butterfly event in the country. Leidigh also finished first in the 200-yard butterfly event. Campbell also was impressed with Herrmann, who set a new KU record in the 100-yard breaststroke. Herrmann placed second in that event and finished third in the 200-yard breaststroke. In diving, junior Shelby Noonan finished fourth in the three-meter competition, with a score of 301.70, and finished in fifth place in the one-meter com-

petition, with a score of 245.95. Senior Casey Topol placed 10th in platform diving with a score of 170.55. Kansas also won the 400-yard freestyle relay. Campbell was impressed with the seniors was well, he said. I would grade us B-plus, A-minus range, Campbell said. I am really pleased with how we are doing now, but we want to progress from good to great. Even though the team had one automatic NCAA qualification, Campbell said the team must be diligent during Thanksgiving break to prepare for the meet on Dec. 2 and 3 in Cambridge, Mass., against Harvard and Northeastern. Harvard has a very, very strong program, and they will be motivated to knock us off, Campbell said. Edited by Theresa Montao

Execution crucial for season end

Its officially crunch time for the Kansas volleyball team. The team knows it has to win the last two matches and wait to see if the NCAA tournament selection committee rewards it with a berth into the championship. Anything short of that and the Jayhawks will likely be home for December for the first time in three years. The quest will begin with a match Wednesday night against No. 11 Missouri (20-4, 13-4). The Tigers hope to spoil Senior Night at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center after sweeping the Jayhawks earlier this year in Columbia, Mo. If Kansas (15-12 overall, 7-11 Big 12 Conference) can win its last two games against Missouri and at Iowa State, history proves it has a chance of postseason play. Last season, the Jayhawks finished with a 9-11 conference record and made the tournament. We cant afford to lose, Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said. Theyre must-wins now. Missouri is fresh off a 3-0 victory against No. 10 Texas. The Tigers climbed to within one match of the Longhorns, who sit in second place in the Big 12 standings.

Senior middle blocker Josi Lima saves the ball during a match against Iowa State earlier this season. Lima and fellow seniors Andi Rozum and Paula Caten play their final home game at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Horesji Family Athletics Center. Bechard said it would take a big effort for the Jayhawks to finish the home portion of their schedule on a high note. Theyre a really good team, Bechard said. Im sure well put our best effort out there, but it will take execution more than anything. Kansas dropped a heartbreaker last Saturday at Texas A&M, making this week pivotal. Had Kansas won that match, it would have been in much better shape for the postseason. For the senior Jayhawks, Wednesdays match promises to be an emotional one. Outside hitter Paula Caten, middle blocker Josi Lima and setter Andi Rozum have been a big part of one of the most successful

eras in Kansas volleyball history. In the four years that Rozum and Lima have been together, including the last two and since Caten transferred from Barton County Community College, the Jayhawks have compiled a record of 75-45 and have qualified for the NCAA tournament twice. In my opinion its is the best place to play in the conference, even the country, Rozum said of Horejsi. Its going to be sad to leave. Bechard said the senior class has meant as much if not more than any other since he took over as coach in 1998. Its a very prominent class, he said. Weve got the all-time assists leader in Rozum and the all-time kills leader in Lima. Paula has been great in her time here too. Wed like to have a good finish to their careers.

Jayhawks finish season with Top 15 ranking

By antonio Mendoza

amendoza@kansan.com
KANSAN SPORTSWRITER

The University of Kansas mens cross country team placed 12th out of 31 teams in the NCAA National Championship in Terre Haute, Ind. on Monday. Indiana State hosted the tournament. Junior Benson Chesang, former Big 12 Champion, led Kansas to the 12th place finish. He finished 30th overall individually with a time of 30:22. The team accumulated a total

of 412 points in the 10K race. There are only 11 teams in the nation that can say they placed better than us, so if that means we are for real, yes, Kansas cross country coach Stanley Redwine said. I think we are definitely proud of the efforts and the strides we gave this year. Kansas finished ahead of nine teams that were ranked ahead of them going into the event. Wisconsin won the NCAA Championships with a total of 37 points. It had every runner finish in the top 15. Texas and Oklahoma State were

the other two schools from the Big 12 Conference to participate in the NCAA Championships and finished seventh and eighth, respectively. The future looks promising for Kansas because of the youth on the team. The top five KU runners will all return next season. They will be Chesang, juniors Erik Sloan and Tyler Kelly and sophomores Colby Wissel and Paul Hefferon. Joshy Madathil is one of four seniors that Kansas will be without next year. He said that the No. 19 ranking the team had before the

tournament was nothing more than a number. He said that the Jayhawks finish solidified them as a top team. Kansas will also lose seniors Matt French, Mike Putzke and Cameron Schweher. I think we kept our composure and kept our expectations where we wanted them to be, and we went out there and executed and made things happen, Madathil said. This is just the beginning to where we feel that we can go. Edited by Erick R. Schmidt

Seniors say farewell, look for bowl bid

KU Blitz
Kansas vs. Iowa State 11:30, Saturday, Memorial Stadium
Kansas
Senior quarterback Jason Swanson has come a long way since the beginning of the season when he was a non-factor on the quarterback radar. Swanson now has the opportunity to be a hero and help Kansas qualify for a bowl game. Swanson has righted the once struggling offense and will need to continue that trend this week for the Jayhawks to get the victory. Expect Swanson to receive some help offensively with a strong rushing attack of senior Clark Green and junior Jon Cornish.

ISU Blitz

AT A GLANCE
This is the most important game of the year for the Jayhawks. What once looked impossible could become a reality: a bowl game berth for Kansas. The KU defense must respond to allowing more than 600 yards of total offense in its last game against Texas.

Iowa State
The leader of the offense for Iowa State is sophomore quarterback Bret Meyer. Meyer came on strong toward the end of the season and has led a resurgent offense, passing for 2,365 yards on the season and throwing for 14 touchdowns. In addition to his arm, Meyer is capable of scrambling outside of the pocket and creating plays. In just his second season on the team, Meyer was elected a team captain. Junior running back Stevie Hicks will be in the backfield. Hicks was hobbled by injuries this season but has emerged; he had a breakout performance two games ago against Kansas State when he rushed for 149 yards and a touchdown. Meyer has two favorite players he targets: Todd Blythe and former quarterback Austin Flynn. Blythe leads the team with 809 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Flynn is second with 472 yards and three touchdowns.

AT A GLANCE
After losing its first three conference games of the season, including a game in overtime at Missouri, Iowa State rebounded and won four in a row. They were all double-digit victories. The Cyclones qualified for a bowl game two weeks ago with a 45-17 victory against Kansas State. Iowa State has dropped two games in overtime on the road this season to Missouri and Nebraska.

OFFENSE

OFFENSE

LAST TIME OUT

Kansas went to Texas with the top rushing defense in the nation. After the Jayhawks were steamrolled by the Longhorns, their national ranking dropped to fifth. Kansas was crushed by Texas 6614, and the team appeared to lose any momentum it had after winning two straight against Missouri and Nebraska.

LAST TIME OUT

Iowa State put itself back in the running for a Big 12 North championship last week when it defeated Colorado at home 30-16. Despite being the home team, Iowa State entered the game as underdogs. The Cyclones scored a pair of defensive touchdowns in the second half to secure the victory against the Buffaloes. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Bret Meyer had a solid game, throwing for 250 yards and one touchdown.

DEFENSE

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Senior defensive end Charlton Keith. Keith has been a force on the Kansas defensive line all season, being the teams best pass rusher and always getting his hands up in passing situations leading to batted passes. Keith was named SBC Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Nov. 7 after racking up 8 tackles and a sack against Nebraska.

The Kansas defense suffered a 66-14 drubbing at the hands of Texas the last time out. It will need to regain the form it showed during its first nine games of the season. Much of that will need to come from senior defensive end Charlton Keith, who has been, statistically, one of the teams best defensive players all season. Keith will have to get pressure on Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer and stop the Cyclones rushing attack. Look for the Kansas defense to rebound from the embarrassment againstTexas.

Victories at home this season for Kansas. The Jayhawks have yet to lose at Memorial Stadium this year. The last time Kansas had an undefeated record at home for a season.

5 QUICK FACTS

1951 20 5

In a game of this magnitude, the special teams unit will need to be flawless. The last time out, the unit fumbled a kickoff and allowed a punt to be returned for a touchdown. Sophomore place kicker Scott Webb has been solid this season, going 11 of 14 on field goal tries. Sophomore punter Kyle Tucker has been effective as well, averaging 43 yards a punt this season. If Kansas could have no special teams blunders and steal a score on a punt return from junior cornerback/wide receiver Charles Gordon, the team would be in good position for the victory.

SPECIAL TEAMS

The strength of the Iowa State defense is its defensive line. The Cyclones are big and strong on the line with junior Brent Curvey and senior Nick Leaders. Leaders has 11 tackles for loss and five sacks. Curvey, who was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week two weeks ago, has seven tackles for loss and five sacks. Senior linebacker Tim Dobbins also is a force on the defensive side of the ball. He leads the team with 87 tackles and one interception. In the defensive backfield, Iowa State has four players who are capable of intercepting a pass at anytime. Senior LaMarcus Hicks and junior DeAndre Jackson lead the team with four interceptions and seniors Steve Paris and Nic Moser are only one behind at three apiece. In total, the Cyclones have intercepted 18 passes on the season.

DEFENSE

PLAYERS TO WATCH
Junior running back Stevie Hicks, who has had up and down games because of a leg injury. If Hicks is healthy and has a good game, he will be a key player Kansas has to stop on offense and could open up the passing game for Meyer and his receivers. If Hicks struggles to run against the tough KU rush defense or is hobbled by injuries, look for the Kansas defense to key in on the pass and have a couple of interceptions on Meyer.

Number of seniors who will play their final game at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

National rank of the KU defense against the run this season.

Kansas football coach Mark Mangino will look to help Kansas qualify for its second bowl game in three years. That would be a critical step in Manginos goal of rebuilding the football program. Mangino led the team to its sixth victory of 2003 season against Iowa State to qualify Kansas for bowl play. He has appeared all season to have his team focused on each game and has not allowed Kansas to look too far ahead in the schedule.
Ryan Colaianni

COACHES

Sophomore kicker Bret Culbertson is 12of-15 on the season, with a long of 46 yards out. Culbertrson is a perfect 6-of-6 on kicks between 30 to 39 yards. He is dependable, with a perfect 29-of-29 on extra points. Senior Troy Blankenship, the teams punter, averaged 41.9 yards per punt, with 12 punts inside the 20 yard line. Freshman R.J Sumrall and junior Ryan Baum will return punts. Sumrall is averaging 10 yards per return; Baum has averaged just over 11 yards per return. Junior DeAndre Jackson will return kicks. He has averaged 25.7 yards per return, but has yet to return one for a touchdown.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Iowa State has won four games in a row after dropping its first three conference games, including a home game to Baylor.. Iowa State had a pair of 66-yard touchdowns last week against Colorado, courtesy of the defense. One came from an interception and the other came from a fumble return. Iowa State needs one victory and one Colorado loss to tie for the North Championship. If the two teams tie, Iowa State would win the tiebreaker and play Texas in the Big 12 Championship game.

5 QUICK FACTS

66

Tackles by senior linebacker Nick Reid, which leads the team. Reid has led the team in tackles each of the past three seasons.

LOOKING FORWARD
A victory against Iowa State would likely put Kansas in the Fort Worth Bowl in December. A loss would end a season of missed opportunities. The Jayhawks struggled offensively until their seventh game of the season. If Kansas fails to qualify for a bowl, the season may be deemed a disappointment by some fans.

While Iowa State football coach Dan McCarney hasnt had as big of a turnaround as Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder, he has turned Iowa State football into a respectable program. McCarney was named Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2001 and will lead Iowa State back to a bowl game this year for a second season. After Snyder steps down, McCarney will be the longest tenured coach in the Big 12. This is his 11th season as the coach of the Cyclones. McCarney started with four losing seasons in a row, but took the Cyclones to a number of bowl games. Before being the coach at Iowa State, McCarney served as Wisconsins defensive coordinator under football coach Barry Alvarez.
Daniel Berk

COACHES

Iowa State is second in the conference in scoring defense, allowing just 17.9 points per game.

17.9 13

Iowa State is +13 in turnover margin this season and leads the conference. The team is averaging nearly 1.5 turnovers per game.

LOOKING FORWARD
A victory against Kansas could potentially send Iowa State into the Big 12 Championship. If Colorado wins though, that would not happen. If Iowa State loses, look for the Cyclones at 7-4 to go to a decent bowl game such as the Holiday Bowl, the Alamo Bowl or the Houston Bowl.

key to victory
Move the chains. Kansas had only nine first downs against Texass 29 two weeks ago. If senior quarterback Jason Swanson and the KU offense can consistently get first downs and keep the Kansas defense off the field for more than half of the game, Kansas should have a good chance to pull off the upset and qualify for a bowl game.

key to victory
The key for Iowa State will be to force turnovers. The KU defense will play well enough to keep Kansas in the game, but if Iowa State starts forcing fumbles and getting interceptions, look for the game to get out of hand. The secondary will be keyed in on senior quarterback Jason Swanson all game.

Around the Big 12

By Daniel Berk

Texas at Texas A&M When: 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 25 Where: College Station, Texas

Texas has two games remaining on the schedule and if it can win both, it will conclude a perfect 12-0 regular season and send the team to the Rose Bowl to play for the National Championship. Texas A&M can screw all that up with what would be the biggest upset of the season. The Aggies still need a victory to qualify for a bowl game, after a disappointing 2005 campaign. It will also pit two athletic quarterbacks against each other when Vince Young from Texas squares off with Reggie McNeal from Texas A&M. Both players own a host of records at their respective school.

Nebraska at Colorado When: 2:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 25 Where: Boulder, Colo.

Colorado can secure its second Big 12 North Championship in a row with a victory against Nebraska. If Colorado is victorious, it would match them up against Texas for the Big 12 Championship game, which will be played Dec. 3 in Houston. Nebraska was supposed to contend for the North, but has struggled this season, most notably on the road. Nebraska lost critical North games on the road to Kansas and Missouri. At 6-4, the Cornhuskers are already bowl eligible. A victory over the Buffaloes would give the team momentum heading into the bowl game.

Both Oklahoma teams will try to salvage a disappointing season when they face off on Saturday. For Oklahoma State, the lone highlight of the season was beating Texas Tech at home. Other than that, first-year coach Mike Gundy has struggled, winning only one conference game. The Cowboys will not go to a bowl game. The Sooners had high expectations before the season. Oklahoma was ranked in the preseason top five, but has struggled, losing four games during the season. A victory over Oklahoma State could propel Oklahoma to the Alamo Bowl.

Oklahoma State at Oklahoma When: 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 26 Where: Norman, Okla.

Dear diary: Basketball and beaches

LAHAINA, Hawaii Aloha! Jayhawk faithful are out in full force in Maui, Hawaii. Walking around Monday afternoon, it appeared there were more Kansas fans than any of the other seven teams in the EA Sports Maui Invitational. That, or Kansas fans particularly enjoy sporting school apparel more than any other teams fans. All of the action has been taking place in Lahaina, a small town on the most western part of the island. Most of the teams are staying at Kaanapali Beach, a tourist-inhabited part of the island about five miles from Lahaina. There is a strip of hotels that sits on the beach, one of which is the Westin Hotel. That was where most of the crimson and blue could be found. The temperatures Monday were in the mid-80s and the sky was overcast. But that didnt stop people from hitting the pool or the beach. One group of fans at the Westin had a table on the uppermost part of the pool deck. Jayhawk flags were on all four sides of the canopy. The table sat high enough that the flags could be seen from almost anywhere in the pool area. The coaches and athletics staff brought their families, adding to the accumulation of KU fans. Some of the players families also made the trip. The Lahaina Civic Center, a 5-minute drive from the team hotel at Kaanapali Beach, holds just more than 3,000 people. The atmosphere is like that of being in a high school gym. On one side of the arena, the bleachers were split right down the middle, with Kansas fans on one side and Arizona fans on the other. On the opposite side of the arena, Kansas fans overwhelmed the number of Arizona fans. The crimson and blue opened their warm-up session with the Rock Chalk chant.

Kansas cant overcome early deficit

KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRITER

LAHAINA, Hawaii Kansas mens basketball coach Bill Self said the Jayhawks trip to Maui, Hawaii, would reveal a great deal about his young squad. It was the No. 9 ranked Arizona Wildcats, however, that revealed the Jayhawks weaknesses in Kansass 61-49 loss Monday night at the Lahaina Civic Center. Arizonas full-court pressure early in the game was too much for Kansas to handle, as the Jayhawks turned the ball over nine times in the first 8 minutes

of the game and fell behind 20-4. We came over here to find out some things and we got exposed, Self said. We cant simulate Arizonas speed in practice, and that was a big part of it. The tenacious Arizona defense allowed no penetration from the Kansas guards and denied the post players the ball early in the game. The Jayhawks attempted only four field goals in the first 4:43 of the game and scored off of only one of them. They turned the ball over a lot, which was key for us, and we just kept the pressure on them, Arizona junior guard Mustafa Shakur said. The Jayhawks did not score again for 3:30 minutes

and fell behind 11-4. A 9-0 Arizona run stretched its lead to 20-4 with 11:54 left in the half. Their pressure set the tone for the game and we didnt handle it well, Self said. That cost us early. The Jayhawks finally settled down midway through the first half, gaining some momentum on a 6-0 run that cut the lead to 20-10. Freshman forward Brandon Rush provided an offensive spark with aggressive penetration that forced the defense to play off the perimeter. Rush, however, accumulated two fouls with about 10 minutes left in the first half and had to sit until intermission.

First-game jitters were not a factor for Ivana Catic during Sundays 77-53 victory against Binghamton. The freshman point guard finished the game with 13 points and 7 assists, but more notably, she called almost all the offensive plays without consulting with Kansas womens basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson. I cant even get her attention anymore, Henrickson said. Catic heard the statement and laughed. She and the Jayhawks will try to keep their offense rolling tonight when the Detroit Titans visit Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks will prepare to play tonights game without senior guard Erica Hallman. Henrickson suspended Hallman indefinitely for failing to meet team academic standards. There is no timetable on her return. We understand were a team sport and we have to pull together, Henrickson said.

The loss of Hallman means that junior guard Shaquina Mosley and senior guard Kaylee Brown will play extra minutes. Henrickson said the team adapted well to Hallmans absence on Sunday. Thats been difficult, but from the second we made that announcement, even at that practice, they had a great practice, she said. The Detroit Titans enter the game at 1-1 after losing Sunday afternoon to Kansas State, 9155, in Manhattan.

The Minnesota Invitational was a midterm that the Kansas swimming and diving team passed with ease, finishing third behind Notre Dame and Minnesota. The team returned to Lawrence on Sunday after competing in the three-day meet. The meet was in championship format with preliminaries and finals in all events. Junior Jenny Short, freshman Danielle Herrmann, freshman Ashley Leidigh and sophomore Terri Schramka set a new KU record in the 400-yard medley relay. They finished the race in second with a time of 3 minutes and 44.94 seconds the eighth fastest time in the country. Saturdays competition was dominated by Leidigh, who set a KU record in the 100-yard but-

terfly event with a time of 53.08 seconds and a first place finish. Her performance in the event Saturday automatically qualified her for the NCAA Championship Meet in March. After achieving her initial goal of qualifying for the meet, Leidigh has set two more goals for the season.
