A Lawrence Police Department acci-
dent report identified a 24-year-old male
as the driver of the car that allegedly
struck and killed a KU student Sept. 23.
Joshua Walton, a KU student, was
driving alone in the silver 2002 Toyota
Camry that allegedly struck Ryan Kanost,
Manhattan senior, while Kanost crossed
the street at Kentucky and 13th streets.
Walton turned himself in to authori-
ties Sept. 24.
The Douglas County district attor-
neys office continues to investigate the
hit-and-run fatality. The police report
did not list either alcohol or drugs as
factors in the accident.
The Camry was traveling northbound
on Kentucky early on Sept. 23 when it
allegedly struck Kanost. Police noted
damage to the Camrys front side. Kanost
was pronounced dead at the scene.
The car traveled straight and did
not swerve or attempt to avoid Kanost,
according to the police report.
The report stated that the car failed
to yield the right-of-way to Kanost, who
was crossing Kentucky street at a cross-
walk.
Police identify
detective who shot
Lawrence woman
By dAvid linhArdt
A 10-year veteran Lawrence Police detective was
identified Friday as the officer who shot and fatally
wounded a Lawrence woman during a Sept. 24 stand-
off.
Detective Troy Squire shot Marsha Mace, 36, after
she opened the front door of her trailer and fired at
police who had been negotiating with her for more
than four hours.
The Lawrence Police Department said in a news
release that all department policies for incident
response were followed. The departments policy
states that officers are permitted to use the amount
of force necessary to prevent death or bodily harm to
an officer. Squire had been placed on administrative
leave, per policy, pending the outcome of the review.
Mace later died at a Kansas City hospital from her
wounds.
The first officer on the scene was Kresten Spurling.
Mace shot through a window as Spurling approached
her trailer around 9 a.m.
More officers arrived at the scene, and negotiations
were attempted. Mace opened her door at 1:23 p.m.
and fired at officers. Police returned fire and Squires
shot hit Mace. Police Chief Ron Olin said that based
on a note found at the scene, Mace may have wanted
officers to shoot her.
The investigative report now goes to the Douglas
County district attorneys office for a second review.

Parking spaces displaced by the build-
ing of the new football practice facility
south of Memorial Stadium will not be
replaced one-for-one when replacement
parking lots are built.
Lew Perkins, Kansas Athletics
Director, told Student Senate the news
last Wednesday in an open forum discus-
sion with senators.
Donna Hultine, director of the Parking
Department, confirmed the information
Friday afternoon and said an estimated
20 spaces would be lost.
There is no discussion right now of
trying to put any additional spaces any-
where else, Hultine said.
Hultine said initially the parking
department and the Athletics Department
believed they could maintain the same
number of spaces, but when engineers
began to look at the site, the hill made the
idea impossible.
Construction plans called for portions
of lots 91, 92 and 93, located southeast of
Memorial Stadium, to be converted into
two football practice fields. New office
space would also be built in a portion of
lot 59 near Potter Lake.
Representatives from the Athletics
Department could not be reached for
comment on Friday.
According to a press release, the new
facility will be named the Anderson
Family Football Complex. The Anderson
family contributed $2 million and pledged
an additional $10 million to the project.
The total cost of the complex is $31
million and will be paid for by private
donations.

Police identify driver in fatal hit-and-run
new jersey street fire
By MArK viErthAlEr
The cause of the Sept. 17 fire at 1205 New Jersey
St. cannot be determined, the Lawrence-Douglas
County Fire and Medical said after 70 leads and 60
interviews.
At a press conference Friday, Mark Bradford,
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical chief,
said there was no evidence of criminal intent. Because
of the extent of the damage and the lack of witnesses,
Bradford said there was no way they could rule out
malicious intent but there was no evidence to suggest
it either.
He apologized to the Glover family for the lack of
any concrete reason for the fire.
Our investigators would like nothing more than to
provide a conclusive result in this tragic loss, however,
an undetermined cause is what our investigation has
concluded, Bradford said.
Bradford said the large amounts of fire damage, fire
fatalities and lack of witnesses made the investigation
extremely difficult to reconstruct what actually took
place that Sunday morning.
Charles Glover, Jr., Glovers son, stood with his
arms crossed as he silently bore the announcement
that no cause could be determined, which he said
offered no closure for the family.
We really didnt know what to expect, Glover said
quietly. We were just hoping to find something out.
The investigation revealed the source of the fire
to have begun on the front porch and continued in
towards to the house.
Captain Dan Affalter with the Lawrence Police
Department said he estimated more than 1,000 labor
hours had been completed during the investigation.
The announcement comes two weeks after the fire
on New Jersey Street killed Charles Glover, Sr. and his
grandchildren Mariyana Johnson, 13 months; Nolan
Vender, 13; Mario Johnson, 2 and Davonte Brockman,
11. His wife Learlean Hooks was the only survivor and
was hospitalized.
The investigation is now closed.

The inconvenient truths of our
nations energy crisis are not insur-
mountable to members of 2020
Vision and Campus Climate Chal-
lenge, two nationally-based orga-
nizations with chapters at the Uni-
versity of Kansas.
Campuses are the most suc-
cessful in implementing change,
Studie Red Corn, Shawnee junior
and Midwest Regional Director for
2020 Vision, said. It takes action
on the local and individual levels
to make a large diference.
For both 2020 Vision and Cam-
pus Climate Challenge, that difer-
ence is the reduction of energy use
and the implementation of clean
and responsible energy solutions.
2020 Vision, in its second year at
KU, began in the 1980s to promote
increased citizen involvement in
environmental public policy deci-
sions. Individual college chapters
are present on only 13 other cam-
puses.
Campus Climate Challenge, mak-
ing its debut at KU this semester,
took shape in the 1990s as college
students began pressing for more
environmentally responsible prac-
tices at their schools. Dan Swick,
Huntley, Ill., senior and founder of
Campus Climate Challenge at the
University, said that there are now
extensions of the organization on
more than 50 campuses.
As national entities, both groups
are dynamically involved in the
pursuit of alternative energy solu-
tions. Campus Climate Challenge
recently joined forces with MTV
for the Break the Addiction cam-
paign, which encouraged college
students to push for clean en-
ergy at their schools. During the
summer, 2020 Vision hosted the
National Summit on Energy Secu-
rity in Washington, D.C., at which
prominent scientists and infuen-
tial politicians discussed solving
the national security threat that
has arisen from the United States
dependence on foreign energy re-
sources.
However, Red Corn and Swick
have their sights set specifcally on
bringing changes to the Univer-
sity.
Local initiatives for this year in-
clude establishing concrete, mea-
surable goals within the Univer-
sity Environmental Policy, making
ethanol fuel available at the city
level and campaigning for a small
increase in student fees that will
go toward renewable energy in-
vestments at the University. In the
long run, Red Corn would like to
see physical improvements to the
campus that advance wind, solar,
geothermal and other energy al-
ternatives, making our university
a landmark for clean energy.
Another goal is the establish-
ment of a Proxy Voting Advisory
Board with KU Endowment, which
will counsel the foundation regard-
ing decisions on corporate resolu-
tions, ensuring that the University
practices environmentally respon-
sible share holding.
Ultimately, Red Corn said both
2020 Vision and Campus Climate
Challenge are working to initiate
an overall shift of mindset among
KU students and faculty. I want to
see taking the bus or riding your
bike be recognized as the most
patriotic thing someone can do,
he said.
Students interested in joining
forces with 2020 Vision and Cam-
pus Climate Challenge should e-
mail Red Corn at studie1@ku.edu,
or Swick at danswick@ku.edu.
There is plenty of research, out-
reach, and action to be taken, Red
Corn said. Contact us and we will
get you involved.

Tickets for the Nov. 6 Ben
Folds concert sold out Friday in
the early afternoon, the day after
they went on sale.
Tanner Burns, SUA live-music
coordinator and Wichita senior,
said that students waited in line
at the Student Union Activities box
office from as early as 6:15 a.m.
Thursday.
Students still looking for tick-
ets cluttered the fourth floor of
the Kansas Union on Friday. They
received line numbers to keep the
process orderly.
Were thrilled to have such a
positive response from the stu-
dents, Burns said. A lot of the peo-
ple in line seemed really charged
about the show.
SUA will present the concert,
featuring the singer/songwriter and
former front man of Ben Folds
Five, at the Lied Center, located on
West Campus.
Dennis Mersmann, a Lawrence
senior who started waiting in line
at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, said he has
been a Ben Folds fan since junior
high school.
Ben Folds can usually be
relied on for an excellent concert,
Mersmann said.
Mersmann said the SUA did well
to bring such a talented musician
to campus.
But he said he wouldve preferred
a different venue than the Lied
Center because he enjoys being
more active and doesnt like the
idea of being confined to a seat.
The SUA began planning the
special performance late last spring
in hopes to bring a big name to
campus, Burns said earlier this fall.
Burns said the SUA expected a
great amount of student support
when it began to receive calls about
the concert as soon as the semester
started in August. The show should
be packed. Burns said he viewed
the concert as a great achievement
toward bringing students quality
entertainment.

David Corliss stood with his
family in the corner of the Law-
rence City Commission meeting
room, shaking hands and posing
for pictures as he awaited Mayor
Mike Amyxs announcement of his
appointment as city manager.
Corliss took responsibility for
the position immediately after the
announcement.
Neither Leon Churchill nor
Dennis Taylor, the two other can-
didates, were present at the Friday
morning announcement. Amyx
stood in front of three of the four
city commissioners and read from
a prepared statement.
I was supposed to come up with
a cute analogy, Amyx said. This is
where I screw up. So let me delay
no longer.
Corliss, who has been inter-
im city manager since March,
received a standing ovation as
Amyx announced the hiring. Amyx
thanked Corliss for his service as
interim city manager during the
last several months.
Amyx also addressed concerns
that the hiring of a local official
meant the interviewing process was
a waste of time and money. He
said the city had started a nation-
wide search in an honest effort to
find the best person for the job.
After what he described as inten-
sive interviews, the commission
decided Corliss was best suited for
the position.
After congratulations from those
in attendance, Corliss thanked his
family and the commission for the
time they had put in during the
three-month hiring process.
Corliss said his first step, as
city manager would be a complete
examination of every city program
across the board. He said it would
be a continuous process and a nec-
essary expense.
The main issue Corliss said he
would focus on was the economic
development of Lawrence.
The last thing we want is for
Lawrence to become a bedroom
community for Topeka and Kansas
City, he said.
City commissioner Sue Hack
said Corlisss previous knowledge
of Lawrence played a large factor in
his hiring. She said he represented
a fresh look at how to handle the
citys affairs.
Corliss has been working for the
City of Lawrence since 1990 when
he was hired as a management
analyst. In 1996 he was promoted
to director of legal services and
in 2000 to assistant city manager
a position that had him working
closely with former city manager
Mike Wildgen.
Corliss received his bachelors,
masters and law degrees from the
University of Kansas.
Commissioners cited his han-
dling of the budget as another rea-
son they decided to hire him.
We have every trust in him that
he will make each department run
efficiently, Hack said. He has a
wealth of knowledge on this city
and he comes with great experi-
ence.

Tuition infation fosters inequality
GUEST COMMENTARY
COMMENTARY
Dirty urban legends, fact or fction?
MCT Campus
The New York Times recent-
ly reported on the alarming
rise in health care costs, which
increased at double the inflation
rate in the last year. The Times
took a similarly alarmist tone
when it reported on the stagger-
ing rise in insurance premiums
in coastal areas, which have seen
premiums increase drastically
since last years storms.
Both are fiscal issues worthy
of attention. But the dramatic
increase in the cost of college
tuition in the last decade has
been a quiet but severe strain
on the bank accounts of both
students and parents. A recent
report in the Wall Street Journal
noted that in the last 10 years,
average tuition at four-year pub-
lic universities has increased an
astounding 42 percent, a full 10
points more than the increase at
private colleges.
It is often said that there is no
better investment, and no better
reason to go into debt, than high-
er education. But this astonish-
ing number means that the cost
of a college degree has increased
at 14 times the average rate of
inflation during that period. This
has not gone unnoticed, but has
certainly been underreported.
In a purely economic sense,
universities are simply taking
advantage of a favorable situa-
tion. As the earning power of a
high school diploma has fallen,
the significance of bachelors
degrees and postgraduate degrees
has risen, and schools can capi-
talize on that trend. But these
cost increases are symptomatic
of a larger cultural shift. The ris-
ing costs of colleges are leading
to a widely segmented society, in
which the educated information
elites simply perpetuate their
class by extending their earning
power through innovation (see
hedge funds), which allows them
to pay for higher education for
their own children. The cycle can
then begin anew with another
generation of educated elites.
To be sure, federal and private
loans have gone a long way in
leveling the playing field of uni-
versities. But the preponderance
of loans simply creates moun-
tains of debt, forcing those who
utilize them to start their careers
at an economic disadvantage.
The educated elites rarely face
such a problem, since they can
usually afford to pay full tuition
for their children.
The University of Kansas is as
big an offender as anyone else in
this dramatic tuition increase,
and for what obvious benefits?
Any time a fiscal cost increases
at rates unseen since Soviet sat-
ellite states, something is amiss.
The University must ensure that
it stops getting caught up in
the culture of yearly increases
currently afflicting universities
nationwide.
McKay Stangler for the edito-
rial board
I cant imagine what the last nine
years of my life would have been
like without Ryan Kanost. It is rare
and indescribable to meet someone
that you can love and trust like
family.
I met Ryan in the summer after
8th grade and we got to know each
other in band class. He played the
trumpet and I played the drums.
After much discussion and plan-
ning during classes and marching
band trips, we decided to form a
rock group. I have no idea what
kind of music I had been listening
to at the time, but Im sure that it
was embarrassingly awful. Ryan
showed me music that changed my
life. We began practicing in my par-
ents basement. Ryan played guitar
while I drummed, speeding up and
slowing down songs by The Foo
Fighters, The Pixies, Nirvana and
Cake.
Ryans friend Travis Warner
joined the band and I was shocked
by his and Ryans musical ability.
Ryan and Travis began writing
original songs, and the three of us
played together for years under
numerous incarnations, lineups and
levels of seriousness.
Even though he did not play in
a band in college, he would always
come to my concerts. I would try
to let him in for free, but he always
insisted on paying. He always
brought people with him, and he
was always encouraging. The way
he was always there for me makes it
impossible to imagine life without
him. I cannot think of a time when
he did not support me or his other
friends. He deserves credit for guid-
ing my development in music and
that of many other people, includ-
ing his brother and sister.
Early in high school, Ryan intro-
duced me to Scott Emery. Scott,
Ryan, Travis and I connected,
banded together and developed a
bond that will last beyond years.
They are my best friends. They are
a part of me. They are a part of
an essential and sustaining idea of
home. I thank Ryan for showing me
such friendship. Not only did he
introduce Travis, Scott and me, but
he cared for us, helped us and made
our lives better.
We called ourselves the family.
We had family holidays and parties.
Scott refers to Ryan as the dad of
our group. He organized cook-outs
and get-togethers, always with the
intention of seeing all his friends
under one roof having a good time.
He would make us roll with
laughter. He talked about keep-
ing it real to make light of many
situations. When Travis and I were
without dates to the prom, Ryan
said we were keeping it real. We
took it to heart and waited for him
to get home from the dance. He was
always there for us.
Witty, cynical, at times self-dep-
recating and always clever, Ryans
sense of humor revealed his intel-
ligence. He was unusually smart.
He surrounded himself with smart
people. I was intimidated by such
intelligence and I still feel slow and
clumsy in comparison. He was in
the gifted program and he was a
national merit semi-finalist. He
studied biology in his fathers
footsteps and wanted to go to
medical school. He helped me in
my life and he helped many others.
I am sure he would have helped
countless people.
Travis, Scott and I would talk
about Ryans resilience, his respon-
sibility and how much he had over-
come. He was making a difference.
His efforts coaching youth basket-
ball and mentoring in after-school
programs inspired those around
him. He reminded me that if you
give to others, you will be given
back much more in your heart.
He is the only person ever to
buy a work of my art, and the only
person to even express an interest in
owning a piece of my work, though
he did not visit museums and he
owned no other artists work. I gave
him two drawings and I let him
pay me for the frames. He would
explain with pride to his guests that
his friend had made the pieces. He
valued them as a part of me. He
is worth more than I can give and
more than I can express in any way.
He has given me true friendship.
Ryan, Travis, Scott and I gradu-
ated high school together and went
away to college together. We learned
together and lived together. Our
friendship gives me such happiness.
Like the air, I breathe it in, and hold
it inside of me, only partially aware
that it is keeping me alive.
I was not with Ryan the day
he died. But I had the privilege of
spending so many perfect days with
him, learning from him and finding
comfort in him. He was a caring
son, brother, uncle and friend. He
remains with those who knew him,
those who love him and those who
are inspired by him. He still helps
us. He still supports us. He is still
with us. I love you Ryan, I love you,
I love you, I love you.

ryan kanost put his friends before himself
My friend Kat told me the most
horrible story ever, claiming it was
true because not one but two people
had told her about it.
There was this guy, she said,
and he stuck a gerbil in his butt. It
got stuck, and he was too embar-
rassed to go to the hospital so he
decided to smoke it out. He put a
match near his anus, but he farted
and singed his butt hair. He ended
up having to go to the hospital
anyway.
She expected me to believe this,
and I actually believed her until I,
the research-obsessed history major,
looked up the facts.
I consulted a Senior Fellow in
the Division of Gastronomy and
a Board Certified Internist at the
University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
to find out if it was actually pos-
sible to light a fire in that manner.
Apparently, it is possible to light a
fart on fire because the gas emit-
ted is sulfur. He informed me of a
larger man who ate too many beans
and sat in an enclosed space. The
man died from poisoning due to the
quantity of his own sulfuric gas.
However, these cases are
extremely rare, and one would have
to emit a large quantity of sulfur gas
to be able to light the fire. If a ger-
bil were actually in his anus, then
enough gas to create a sufficient
butt-singing flame would not be
released.
The point is that regardless of
fact or fiction we love to share these
dirty urban legends, and October
is the perfect month to sit around
a bonfire sharing stories, eating
candy corn and wearing monkey
costumes.
Already October has proved to
be a devilishly dirty month. With
recent news that Dustin Diamond,
aka Screech, might allegedly have a
40-minute sex tape circulating with
him and two women performing
a dirty sanchez (if you dont know
what it is, dont ask) I am reminded
of how important it is to learn the
facts before we completely believe
what we hear. I particularly dont
want to believe this rumor because
I find it hard to believe that Screech
has sex, let alone with two women,
let alone dirty poo-poo sex.
One of the most comprehensive
urban legend Web sites is www.
snopes.com, and one neat factor
to the site is that not only does it
list different legends, but it also
debunks many. I preferred the true
stories, and the following from the
site are my top three:
1.) In Japan, although rare, vend-
ing machines existed that actually
sold used schoolgirl panties. The
reason for this is Japans thriv-
ing bura-sera industry, which
describes the males fascination
with youth and schoolgirl culture.
This eroticism partly explains the
Japanese style of looking girlish
and cute in comparison with the
western notion of looking womanly
and busty.
2.) In 1970, Rocky himself,
Sylvester Stallone, starred in a
porn flick called Party at Kitty and
Studs. Sly played Stud. He later
told Playboy magazine that he was
paid $200, and if you check out the
Internet Movie Database, www.
imdb.com, you will actually see the
cover of this marvelous-looking
flick.
3.) A certain anti-depressant
can cause orgasms when its users
yawn. Researchers found that the
drug clomipramine, brand name
Anafranil, caused some patients
to orgasm when they yawned, and
thus many patients found the drug
to be quite pleasant.
There were plenty of false or
non-provable stories on the site that
I remember my friends and I had
giggled about in junior high. Those
stories include the infamous girl
dies masturbating with broom,
policemen have to tell hookers that
theyre cops if the hookers ask, the
fashion style of sagging began in
prison to signal sexual availability,
and so on and so on.
Unfortunately, it is too early to
tell whether or not Screechs urban
legend is true or not, but if youre
interested in other legends, then
check out the Web site and arm
yourself with the truth. After all,
people will believe anything as long
as it happened to a friend of a
friend of a friend.

About 65 people stood silently,
holding signs Sunday afternoon
from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. at the cor-
ner of 23rd and Iowa streets on
West Campus in an annual protest
against abortion.
The group walked from the St.
Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631
Crescent Road, to the protest site
holding signs that said phrases such
as Abortion Kills Children, Lord,
Forgive Us and Our Nation and
Abortion Hurts Women.
The anti-abortion organization
Life Chain organizes a protest every
year on Oct. 1. This protest was one
of more than 1,200 nationwide and
in Canada, according to Life Chains
Web site, www.lifechain.net.
Katy Cortese, co-president of
KU Students for Life, participated
in the protest. She said she thought
about half of the participants were
KU students.
Cortese, Des Moines, Iowa,
sophomore, said her Catholic faith
taught her to value human life from
conception to natural death. She
said she really wanted to get involved
after listening to a woman talk
about her experience with having
an abortion.
She talked
about the emo-
tional damage
she had felt,
Cortese said.
Life Chain
believed some
of the prob-
lems America
faces today
are related to
legal abortion
in America.
The organization associated legal-
ized abortion with terrorist threats
America faces, according to a press
release.
Andrew Poulin, St. Louis sopho-
more, participated in the March for
Life abortion protest in Washington
D.C. last year as well as the protest
Sunday.
Right now its politically a big
issue that needs to be taken care of,
he said. Poulin said he hoped being
involved in Students for Life and
participating in activities would
educate people about abortion.
The Rev.
Zachary Shallow
of St. Lawrence
Catholic Center
said the protest
was a way to
manifest Gods
love in a peace-
ful way.
We want
people to
respect life, he
said. Life is the
very first gift
that God gives us.
Cortese said KU Students for
Life is planning a protest in Topeka
in November but hasnt set a date.

Students stand silent for life
65 people show support for annual protest against abortion
By DArLA sLipKe
As children, Kevin Dilmore and
his friends used to play Star Trek
in his backyard with their own Star
Trek paraphernalia, using flash-
lights as phagers and tape recorders
as tricorders.
Now an adult, Dilmore uses that
same imagination to write Star
Trek books.
Dilmore, a 1988 KU graduate
and Prairie Village resident, enjoyed
Star Trek from a young age. In
addition to inventing science-fic-
tion scenarios in his yard, as a boy,
he watched the cartoon version of
Star Trek. He was unaware that a
show with live actors existed until a
neighbor broke the news to him.
The big kid that lived across
the street was the one that said,
hey dummy, thats a real show too,
Dilmore said.
Dilmore aspired to make mov-
ies like Star Wars and studied
film at the University of Kansas,
but abandoned
these ambitions
after graduat-
ing because of
the difficulty of
finding a job in
the film indus-
try. Instead, he
came back to
the University
to study journal-
ism and worked
as a reporter for
15 years.
Dilmores passion for Star Trek
didnt extend beyond the loyalty and
enthusiasm of a fan until 1996 when
he started working as a freelance
writer for Star Trek Communicator
magazine. In 2002, Dilmore inter-
viewed John Ordover of Pocket
Books about a new electronic book
series, Star Trek: Starfleet Corps
of Engineers. Dilmore suggested a
story idea for the series that Ordover
liked. It launched Dilmores career
as a fiction writer. Dilmore said he
panicked after actually getting the
OK and called his friend Dayton
Ward.
Kevin basically hung up the
phone with John and immediately
dialed me up for help because he
thought he had dug himself into a
hole, Ward said.
Ward had previously written
Star Trek stories and agreed to
help Dilmore write the book. Their
first collaboration, Interphase, was
published electronically in 2001 and
printed in 2002.
The pair has written 11 Star Trek
novellas, three full-length books and
a handful of short stories, which
Dilmore said they usually plan over
chicken wings and beer. Dilmore
quit his reporting job when the first
book was published and now works
as a senior card writer at Hallmark
cards.
He and Ward signed copies of
their books at the Free State FreeCon
comic book and toy convention at
the Douglas County Fairgrounds in
Lawrence Saturday.
Dave Bohanon, KU graduate
and Lawrence resident, has known
Dilmore since
their time in
college and said
Dilmores writ-
ing is natural.
His stories
are easy to read
because you can
tell he has a big
grounding in
what he writes,
Bohanon said.
Dilmore said
its challenging
to write Star Trek books because
there is a limited set of characters
and fans have expectations of what
they will do and say. Dilmore said
that requires them to do a lot of
research, which isnt so bad.
Our homework is watching
space shows and reading comic
books, he said.

FBi digs for connections
between mob, terrorists
waShInGTon The FbIs
top counterterrorism ofcial
harbors lots of concerns:
weapons of mass destruction,
undetected homegrown ter-
rorists and the possibility that
old-fashioned mobsters will
team up with al-Qaida for the
right price.
Though there is no direct
evidence yet of organized crime
collaborating with terrorists,
the frst hints of a connection
surfaced in a recent undercover
FbI operation. agents stopped a
man with alleged mob ties from
selling missiles to an informant
posing as a terrorist middleman.
That case and other fac-
tors are heightening concerns
about a real-life episode of the
Sopranos teaming with osama
bin ladens followers.
we are continuing to look
for a nexus, said Joseph billy Jr.,
the FbIs top counterterrorism
ofcial. we are looking at this
very aggressively.
The new strategy involves an
analysis of nationwide criminal
investigations, particularly white
collar crime, side by side with in-
telligence and terrorist activity.

the most touches of any

return should help
balance the of-
fense. Cornish had
a great game, but he wont
need to carry the ball quite as
much with Meiers legs in the
game. Cornish needs to get
the ball a lot, but more than 30
carries a game on a regular ba-
sis might be asking too much.
Kyle Carterr
Down, but only
barely. Cornish
led the team on
Saturday, as he will
continue to do against the
remaining Big 12 schedule. He
saw a lot of action in a close
game and experienced some
cramping as a result. His car-
ries should go down slightly
so that he can remain healthy
and be a team leader on the
gridiron.
Daniel C. Weixeldorfer
Cornish made
plays the whole
night, both as a re-
ceiver and a runner.
He is a tireless worker, he has
great speed and he doesnt
turn the ball over. The coaches
should let Cornish go as far as
his legs will take him.
Jack Connor
Right around
30 carries is a
perfect number
for Cornish.
With more than 400 passing
yards on Saturday, the ofense
showed that it can move the
ball through the air. To keep
Cornish fresh, the Jayhawks
can always go to Jake Sharp
for a nice change of pace.
Kayvon Sarraf

With the
Jayhawks lack
of depth at the
tailback position,
ofensive coordinator Nick
Quartaro should be careful not
to put too large a burden on
the shoulders of Jon Cor-
nish. Before the 2006 season,
Cornish had never run the ball
more than 17 times in a single
game. Considering the next
player on the depth chart is an
undersized and untested true
freshman (Jake Sharp), Kansas
coaches should call plays with
prudence as the season wears
on.

LINCOLN, Neb. Zac
Taylor didnt play his ideal
game on Saturday, but he
performed better than he
did against Kansas last sea-
son.
Taylor, Nebraskas quar-
terback, may have com-
pleted just 45 percent of his
passes, but he completed the
passes that mattered most
and avoided making a big
mistake.
It wasnt my best game,
Taylor said. There were a
lot of inconsistencies in my
throwing. I missed some
throws I shouldnt have.
Despite his low comple-
tion percentage, Taylor accu-
mulated 395 passing yards,
threw four touchdowns and
had no interceptions.
To put those numbers in
a better context, they only
need to be compared to his
numbers against Kansas
last season. Last year in
Lawrence, Taylor completed
14 of 26 passes for 117 yards,
and had one touchdown and
one interception.
Taylor said he wasnt
looking at this game as pay-
back to make up for last
season, but it was important
to himnot to repeat the per-
formance.
It was big, Taylor said.
We try not to think too
much about that game last
year, but theres a lot of
images you cant really get
out of your head from last
years loss.
On the second play of
Saturdays game, Taylor took
out some of his frustra-
tions from last season, hit-
ting receiver Terrence Nunn
down the Kansas sideline for
a 75-yard touchdown. It was
the first of three touchdown
passes he threw for 75 yards
or more.
The long touchdowns
werent enough to satisfy
Taylor, but his plays in the
clutch were the difference
between winning and losing
for Nebraska.
Nebraska converted just
three of 12 third downs,
but two came via Taylors
arm and the last one put
Nebraska in position to tie
the game with just more
than four minutes left in the
game.
The touchdown pass was
another one of the 75-yard
variety, but this one was to
receiver Frantz Hardy.
Kansas junior cornerback
Blake Bueltel was cover-
ing Hardy on the play, so
Taylor and Hardy used their
inside knowledge of Bueltel
to beat him deep. All three
players played together at
Butler County Community
College.
Frantz had one-on-one,
and it was the play we want-
ed, Taylor said. I just threw
it up and let Frantz make
the play.
Taylor also came through
for the Cornhuskers while
standing in the shadows of
his own goal post. Nebraska
started drives inside its own
five-yard line twice in the
first half.
Rather than run the ball
to make extra roombetween
the line of scrimmage and
the end zone, Nebraska
offensive coordinator Jay
Norvell called passing plays.
Taylor came through, com-
pleting passes for 18 and 36
yards.
We have a lot of confi-
dence in Zac and we have a
lot of confidence in our abil-
ity to throw the ball, Norvell
said. Some games well lean
on the pass and we made
enough big plays in the pass-
ing game tonight to get us
over the edge.
As hard as Taylor was on
himself for his performance
Saturday, his completion in
overtime put Nebraska in
position to win the game.
On the second play of
overtime, Taylor hit receiv-
er Nate Swift for a 21-yard
pass to advance the ball to
the half-yard line. Running
back Cody Glenn scored the
deciding touchdown on the
next play.
Fullback Dane Todd gave
Taylor the credit he deserved
for leading the Cornhuskers
to victory.
Zac is always on a pretty
even keel, Todd said. Hes
a great leader for us. He did
a great job of keeping us up
for this game.

Eric Washington to
make full recovery
When Kansas linebacker
Eric Washington went
down in the third quar-
ter of Saturdays game,
teammate Joe Mortensen
immediately knew some-
thing was wrong.
I tried to pick him
up and he went limp,
Mortensen said.
Washington laid on the
turf at Nebraskas Memo-
rial Stadium for morethan
15 minutes before he was
placed on a stretcher and
carted of the feld.
Washington sustained
a concussion, but doctors
told coach Mark Mangino
on Sunday that Wash-
ington would be able to
make a full recovery.
Our doctors tell me
there is the possibility for
him to get back and play
this season, Mangino
said.
Early Sunday morn-
ing Washington began
a medicational therapy,
which lasts one day, at
which point he will be
discharged. He is expect-
ed to return to Lawrence
this morning.

Anthony Webb, freshman devensive back, falls after attempting to keep the ball fromreaching nebraskas Frantz Hardy. Hardy scored two touchdowns on Saturday against the Jayhawks;
both on receptions more than 75 yards. Hardy fnished the game with three receptions for 159 yards.
That streak-busting vic-
tory will have to wait for at
least two more years.
Kansas, though, finally
showed signs that it was
able to hold its own in
Lincoln, despite losing its
19th straight game at the
Cornhuskers home.
Turnovers by Kansas
offense dug the teaminto a
hole and it was the defense
that helped it crawl out.
The Jayhawks defense
forced turnovers fum-
bles by quarterback Zac
Taylor and running back
Cody Glenn on the
Cornhuskers first two
drives on the second half.
That was huge, soph-
omore linebacker Joe
Mortensen said. We just
tried to give our offense
chances.
After the first turnover,
a fumble by Taylor, Kansas
turned it into a touchdown
on its first play. Barmann
pitched the ball to senior
running back Jon Cornish
at the Huskers eight yard
line. Cornish took the ball,
made a cut around the
right side of the offensive
line and strolled into the
end zone for the eight-
yard score.
Kansas scored again
two possessions later, on
the back of Cornish, who
touched the ball on nearly
half the plays of the drive
that gave Kansas a one
point lead.
From there Kansas
and Nebraska each scored
again to send the game
into overtime. It was the
second straight overtime
game this season where
Kansas has failed to score.
The Jayhawks entered
the game as nearly 25
point underdogs, yet had
a chance to win on the
final play.
Im looking at the big
picture, Mangino said.
There were times when
KU came up here and the
Nebraska players were
tailgating by halftime. Its
disappointing, but were
improving.
FOOTball NOTeS:
Meier update
Freshman quarterback
Kerry Meier didnt play for
the second straight game
after suffering an injury
to his right armtwo weeks
ago against Toledo.
Meier came out and
warmed up with the team,
but did not play. Mangino
said that Meier was not
available to play.
Its a matter of our
medical staff deciding
when theyll be able to
clear him, Mangino said
Sunday. Hes got to be
able to prove he can do
everything asked of him
with a full range of motion
on the practice field.

footBAll (cOnTinued frOm 12A)
Not just tough, but
smart, too.
Most other running
backs would have stayed
in the game. They would
have either had to leave
during overtime, at a criti-
cal juncture, or risk even
greater injury than cramp-
ing by staying in.
The decision to take a
breather is exactly what
youd expect from a guy
who hits the books as hard
as his opponents. Cornish
was on Student Senate
during his first years at the
Mangino described him
as a workhorse, and thats
accurate. But hes also like
any other football player,
and 31 carries in a football
game is simply too much
to handle.
Its a tough position for
the Jayhawk play callers
to be in. Getting Cornish
the ball often opens up the
passing game, but those
late-game carries were
obviously wearing down
his body.
Expect Kerry Meiers
return to alleviate some
of the pressure, but for the
rest of the season Cornish
will have to continue to
look out for himself if he is
going to lead the Jayhawks
to a bowl game.
Phillips is a wichita se-
nior in journalism. he is
the Kansan sports edi-
tor.

from the press box
Game ball goes to...
Senior running back
Jon Cornish rushed for
154 yards on 31 carries,
including a touchdown.
Cornish touched the
ball on nearly half the
plays in the second
half. His touchdown in
the early third quarter
brought Kansas within
one possession.
Game to forget...
Kansas secondary
was burned early in
the game by Nebraska
quarterback Zac Taylor.
He connected with
receivers for two touch-
down passes of 75 and
78 yards in the frst half.
Taylor struck again late
in the fourth quarter on
a 75-yard touchdown
pass to help Nebraska
regain the lead.
Stat of the game...
Barmann threwfor a
career-high 405 yards
in the loss. All of those
yards came in the last
three quarters and
overtime of the game.
It was the frst time a
Kansas quarterback
had thrown for more
than 400 yards since
Bill Whittemore threw
for 422 yards against
Colorado in 2003.

WORLD
Pop vocalist brings new
appeal to Thailand culture
BANGKOK, Thailand Tata Young
is Asias version of Britney Spears:
Catchy pop tunes you hear once and
cant get out of your head, stiletto
heels and a dash of scantily clad, gy-
rating naughtiness.
Tatas 2004 debut English-language
album, I Believe, won her fans
throughout Asia, placing her among
a small circle of Asian pop stars to
grow beyond their nations borders.
But Tata, the only daughter of an
American father and Thai mother,
hopes her second English-language
album released in September, Tem-
perature Rising, will propel her to
worldwide fame, and her determi-
nation is backed by the songwriters
and producers behind the sounds
of Spears, Ricky Martin and Chris-
tina Aguilera.
People who represent me have
made a lot of people famous... like,
come on, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce,
you name them all, the 25-year-
old Bangkok native said, in a thick
midwestern American accent that
mimics her fathers.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. Out of
fuel and with a 17-second lead, Tony
Stewart glided to the finish line to
win the Banquet 400 at the Kansas
Speedway Sunday.
When the fuel pressure gauge
was at zero and the engine was
dying, I just kicked it in neutral and
let it coast, Stewart said. I got to
see the checkered flag for a really
long time.
Stewart, who began the race in the
21st position, led for the final five
laps en route to winning his third
race of the season. It was Stewarts
27th career win and his first at the
Kansas Speedway.
The Banquet 400 was the third of
10 races in the Chase for the Nextel
Cup, the final races of the Nextel
Cup season. Stewart, who is current-
ly 11th in points, is not in the Chase
because only the top 10 drivers are
eligible to compete.
That is the thing about not being
in the Chase, we can roll the dice,
Stewart said. I was driving half-
throttle all the way around, letting
the seconds tick off but trying to
keep some momentum in case it did
run out of fuel.
Stewart wasnt the only one to fin-
ish short on fuel. Casey Mears also
ran out of fuel but was able to finish
second, followed by Mark Martin.
It was a fuel-mileage day, Mears
said. When we got in position to
save fuel, I did.
Jimmie Johnson led for the major-
ity of the race, 105 laps, but with five
laps to go, he was hesitant whether
or not he should make a pit stop,
deciding ultimately to stop.
Coming into pit road the No. 9
spun out in front of me, and I got
back out on the race track, he said.
The caution didnt come out so we
lost a bunch of time there.
The 75,000-seat Kansas Speedway
sold out, despite a Chiefs football
game across town.
Jeff Burton said the Speedway was
becoming more enjoyable to drive
on because it was not just a one-
groove track anymore.
This track today, you see more
grooves than any other race here,
Burton said. I think that is a good
thing. It adds character to the race
and the race track.
While Burton remained the point
leader for the Chase after the race,
he said he was not worrying about
points.
Weve had zero conversations
with this team about where we are in
points, Burton said. Our objectives
and goals are trying to find a little bit
better way than weve been doing it,
and keeping ourselves in the hunt.
The Chase will continue
next weekend at the Talladega
Superspeedway in Alabama.
Racing Notes:
Robby Gordon was the first racer
to wreck. During lap 10, he spun off
the high groove in the fourth turn
and lost control of his back end
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. finished 10th.
He remained in seventh in the Chase
standings.
The race lasted three hours
and 18 minutes. Eleven caution flags
extended the race 40 minutes.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. NASCAR
rookie Clint Bowyer was running
in second place until lap 172 at
the Kansas Speedway Banquet 400
on Sunday when he spun into the
wall and sustained severe damage
to his No. 7 Jack Daniels-sponsored
Chevrolet.
Bowyer, a native of Emporia and
a fan favorite on Sunday, started
from the sixth position Sunday
and was leading by lap 37. With
such a strong performance early on,
Bowyer looked to be one of the
favorites to win the race, but his spin
and crash into the wall ended any
chance of that happening.
I was really feeling good, Bowyer
said. I just had a good car, just try-
ing to make the best of it.
Bowyer pitted on lap 147 and
won the race off pit road by tak-
ing only two tires. But his lead was
short-lived, and 25 laps later Bowyer
was out of the race.
Even though his first NASCAR
race at the Kansas Speedway didnt
finish the way he would have liked,
Bowyer won the adoration of his
hometown fans.
Bowyer got his start in racing
on dirt tracks around Kansas and
Missouri.
Thunder Hill up in Mayetta,
Kansas, was kind of my old stomp-
ing grounds, Bowyer said. Then
towards the end of my local career
around here was Lakeside Speedway
and I-70. I won a lot of races there,
had a lot of success, won a couple
track championships, and a regional
championship. Thats where things
really got rolling for me.
Bowyer eventually worked his way
through the NASCAR Busch Series
and earned a full-time NASCAR
ride with Richard Childress Racing.
Though Bowyer is now part of
one of the top racing teams in motor
sports, he said his success wasnt
really all that uncommon.
Everybody comes from some-
where, Bowyer said. All these guys
in the Cup series had the same suc-
cess I did back home at their local
track.
While Bowyer was racing on the
track Sunday, he had one fan of pres-
tigious stature rooting for him: Gov.
Kathleen Sebelius.
Sebelius said she has followed
Bowyers career and has enjoyed
watching him succeed.
Its fun to see him doing well,
Sebelius said. He is, I think, very
Kansan through and through.
Bowyer said that while he skipped
college to pursue a career on the race
track, he was very familiar with the
Im a Jayhawk. I didnt go to
school there, but Im definitely a
fan, Bowyer said. Got a lot of
friends that went to school there,
some are still in school there. If I was
going to go to college, thats where I
would have went.
Bowyer, it seems, has made the
right decision to pursue racing. His
popularity, both local and national,
has increased during time, just like
the popularity of NASCAR. Bowyer
credited the popularity of NASCAR
to the people who watch it.
I think its how fan-friendly it is,
Bowyer said. I think on the drivers
side the things that you dont like is
what makes the sport good. Having
a bad finish, getting out of the car
having a camera stuck in your face
and explain why what happened,
running good wanting to celebrate
having the camera in your face. But
thats what gets the fans into our
sport. Drivers are a lot more acces-
sible than like a football player, a
baseball player, and I think its still
somewhat of a grass-roots, blue-col-
lar sport.
Bowyers talent and down-to-
earth personality has been noticed
by many in NASCAR, including
teammate Jeff Burton. Burton fin-
ished fifth on Sunday and gave high
praise to his rookie teammate.
He has the ability and the per-
sonality to go a long ways in this
sport, Burton said. He will be
somebody that youre talking about
10 years from now.

BY JEFF DETERS
Winning at home is vital to any
teams success. But on Saturday night
it looked like the Iowa State Cyclones
were right at home in the Horejsi
Family Athletics Center as they swept
the Kansas Jayhawks 3-0.
The Jayhawks (8-7, 1-5 Big 12
Conference) never really got into
rhythm, and the Cyclones (11-4, 3-
2) had little trouble defeating the
Jayhawks, 30-28, 30-22, 30-24. The
Jayhawks have gone just 1-6 since
their big win against nationally
ranked Brigham Young University,
and two of those six loses have come
on the Jayhawks home court.
Defending the home court is some-
thing Kansas coach Ray Bechard has
often talked about this season.
It is more difficult to win on the
road, obviously, he said. And we
want to play well every time out.
But youve got to make every team
uncomfortable, and we failed to do
that tonight.
In the first game Iowa State middle
blocker Erin Boeve had six kills and
finished the match with 17, which led
all players.
Senior outside hitter Jana Correa
led the Jayhawks with 14 kills and
also contributed nine digs during
the game. Junior right side hitter/set-
ter Emily Brown added eight kills
and seven digs. Brown said she and
Correa have been talking recently
about what they could do to get the
Jayhawks jump started again.
Im the type of person who likes
to lead by example on the court,
Brown said. But if Im not having a
solid game its kind of hard for me to
find the words to say, and thats what
were going to work on going into
practice.
And Bechard thinks practice is
where the Jayhawks will recover from
a three-game losing streak.
Wednesday we had a disappoint-
ing night at Lubbock, and Thursday
we really had a good practice,
Bechard said. Our kids came back,
and if we continue to do that well win
our share.
Bechard spoke from experience.
His recent Jayhawk teams have
rebounded after setbacks during the
season and made the NCAA tour-
nament. Bechard was confident this
years team could do so as well.
Weve been to the NCAA tourna-
ment three years in a row, but every
year weve had a stretch thats been
rough. Bechard said. If you move
on, continue to train, and cut down
on some of those unforced errors, you
got a chance.
The Jayhawks committed nine
serving errors in the game, and serv-
ing has been a problem for this years
squad. But Bechard felt confident his
team could resolve its deficiencies
through hard work at practice.
The teams that tend to cave are
the teams that dont bounce back
after practice, and weve done that,
Bechard said. So that will pay off.
Bechard and the Jayhawks hope
their efforts in practice will help them
find that spark the team played with
against BYU. The Jayhawks have been
searching for it for a couple weeks,
but it seems Brown knows just when
and where it will return.
Oh its coming Wednesday, Brown
said. For sure Wednesday.
On that day the Jayhawks will
play No. 19 Missouri at 6:30 p.m. in
Columbia, Mo.

LINCOLN, Neb. The normal-
ly calm and collected Mark Francis
jumped out of his seat with a cry of
celebration Sunday as time expired
in Kansas victory against Nebraska.
It was huge, especially coming
here, Francis said. Nebraska is one
of the toughest teams to play in the
Big 12.
Kansas (7-4-0, 2-1-0) defeated
Nebraska (6-3-3, 1-2-1) 1-0. It was
only the Jayhawks second victory
against the Huskers in soccer, mov-
ing the all-time record to 2-11-2.
The victory also meant revenge:
the Huskers eliminated the Jayhawks
from the Big 12 Tournament last
season and the NCAA tournament
in 2004.
Ive never played at Nebraska
before, but I could feel the energy
from the girls before the game,
freshman forward Shannon
McCabe said. It was just great to
beat them.
McCabe fed off that energy and
wasted little time before scoring the
eventual game winner.
On a corner kick less than a
minute into the match, freshman
forward Monica Dolinsky passed
the ball to sophomore midfielder
Jessica Bush, who was standing a
few feet in front of her. Bush quickly
returned the ball to Dolinsky, who
crossed the ball to the left side of the
box to McCabe.
McCabe received the pass at the
top of the box, dribbled and fired
it toward the upper left corner.
The ball bounced off the post but
skipped in, ending a run of bad
bounces from Fridays 1-0 loss to
Creighton. It was her second game-
winning goal of the season.
It was good to get one early and
set the tone for the game, McCabe
said. It was about time we scored
a goal.
McCabes early score was enough
for Kansas because of standout play
by the defense and sophomore goal-
keeper Julie Hanley. The defense
allowed only two shots in the sec-
ond half. Hanley saved a season-
high four shots and recorded her
fourth shutout of the season. Hanley
had three shutouts in Kansas last
five games. In the other two games,
she allowed only one goal in each
game.
Anytime they got a sniff on
offense she was in there, Francis
said. Shes starting to come around,
and I think its helping us win
games.
Hanleys help was not enough
Friday against Creighton in a 1-0
loss. Kansas three shots on goal
all hit the post and bounced wide.
Francis said he thought the team
came out flat and didnt play well.
Kansas will play Texas and Texas
A&M this weekend at the Jayhawk
Soccer Complex in the teams first
home games in three weeks.

Fall softball is a chance to help
players improve before going into
spring play and Coach Tracy Bunge
had plenty to watch this weekend,
as the team won four games in
Lawrence.
Kansas 1, UMKC 0
Pitcher Kassie Humphreys started
the game, pitching for four innings
and giving up no hits or runs. She
finished the game with eight strike-
outs. Sophomore pitcher Valerie
George finished the game, pitching
three innings.
Kansas 3, Emporia State 1
Emporia State struck early against
Kansas, scoring a run in the first
inning. Kansas did not answer until
the fourth inning, when Stephanie
McCaulley hit a lead-off double and
was hit in by middle infielder Stevie
Crisostos double.
Kansas 8, Johnson County 0
On Sunday, the Jayhawks start-
ed the day with strong bats against
Johnson County Community
College. The game was highlighted
by Val Chapples two home runs.
Kansas 4, Emporia State 0
Kansas ended the tournament in
the championship game, facing ESU
a second time. Humphreys pitched a
complete game, throwing a no-hitter
with 11 strikeouts.

Jared Gab/KANsAN
Jayhawk defenders are unable to catch up to Nebraskas punt returner Terrence Nunn and the Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb. on Saturday. Kansas lost 39-32 in overtime.
LI NCOLN,
Neb. With
Kansas down
seven and time
running out to
tie the score, Jon
Cornish proved
why he is the
smartest player
in the Big 12.
He left the game.
The first two plays of the drive were both to
Cornish, his 28th and 29th carries of the game.
After that play he stopped for a second and
grabbed his left thigh. He took one quick glance
back at the huddle, then turned around and point-
ed at fullback Brandon McAnderson, cueing him
to enter the game.
Football fans celebrate heroic efforts by injured
athletes, but Cornish should be celebrated for not
pushing himself to that point in the first confer-
ence game of the season.
When Kerry Meier went down with an injury
two weeks ago, Cornish stepped up to be the teams
offensive leader. New quarterback Adam Barmann
has been effective, but the team rides or dies on
Cornishs legs, which are, sadly, not made of steel.
In the first quarter, when the Jayhawks fell
behind 17-0, Cornish had four carries. In each of
the final three quarters he carried the ball nine
times, shouldering the load in a 39-32 Kansas over-
time loss to No. 21 Nebraska.
He finished with an average of 4.7 yards per
carry, which will be enough to get him on the All-
Big 12 team. However, he also finished with two
sore legs, the reason he had to step out in the fourth
quarter after 29 of his reps, or touches.
This was the first time I have taken 31 reps,
he said. I was getting really tired, and my body
was taking a little bit of a beating from the great
Nebraska linebackers.
After sitting out the final drive, Cornish was
right back in the game during overtime, exerting
his influence not just by running the ball twice but
by providing protection for Barmann to make his
throws.
I think he was cramping a little bit, but he is
one tough kid, Barmann said.

LINCOLN, Neb. Adam Barmann
called it the worst quarter of football
hed ever played.
In the first quarter of Saturdays 39-
32 overtime loss to No. 21 Nebraska,
Barmann tossed two interceptions in
his first five passes. He didnt even com-
plete a pass to his own team until early
in the second quarter.
After playing nearly flawless football
just a week earlier, it looked like the
Barmann of old was back. He overthrew
receivers, short-hopped passes to others
and threw two picks in the span of just
two minutes.
I just played bad, Barmann said.
High school, junior high, peewee foot-
ball, backyard football the worst
quarter of my life.
Barmann returned to the sideline
after one of his early mistakes and
received a tongue lashing from his
coach, Mark Mangino. Unlike his fresh-
man year, there were no comforting
words for Barmann after the turnovers.
I challenged him, Mangino said.
Hes a senior, settling him down days
are over.
Evidently the message worked.
Barmann led a serious second half
comeback, tossing 223 of his career-
high 405 yards in the final two quarters.
His performance helped Kansas tie the
game with less than a minute to play in
the fourth quarter. Despite the rally, it
was a familiar ending for Kansas on the
road. Another overtime game, another
overtime loss.
Were not playing horseshoes, close
doesnt count, Mangino said.
Close doesnt count for Mangino, but
that seems to be as close as his team his
come on the road in the past two sea-
sons. Kansas road losing streak is now
up to seven, with its last road victory in
2004 against Missouri.

first-quarter play worst of his life
Cornish does the
right thing by
deciding to sit out
missed opportunities
while kansas coach mark mangino said there was plenty to be encour-
aged about during saturdays game, there were also several miscues that
added up to hurt the Jayhawks. Heres a look at some of the plays that
afected the games outcome:
senior quarterback adam Barmann fumbled the ball inside
nebraskas fve-yard line. as Barmann tried to rush up the middle for the
touchdown, a nebraska defender stripped him of the ball.
senior long snapper Zack Hoods high snap on an extra point
attempt in the third quarter. The snap bounced of the hands of senior
holder Jonathan Lamb and was picked up by a nebraska defender.
Tight end Derek Fine dropped two touchdown passes in the end
zone. Both bounced of his hands before hitting him in the chest and fall-
ing to the ground.
after scoring a touchdown to take a 25-24 lead, kansas went for a
two-point conversion and attempted to take a three-point lead. Instead,
Barmann never got a pass of, and was sacked after bouncing around in
the pocket waiting for receivers to get open.
