Kansas mens basketball coach Bill
Self has suspended junior center C.J.
Giles from the team indefinitely.
C.J. Giles will not practice with
the team while he attends to some
personal issues, Self said. If and
when these issues are addressed, we
will discuss his future with the pro-
gram.
The statement was released by the
Athletics Department on Tuesday
night. Giles and Self were unavailable
for further comment.
As a sophomore, Giles started
13 games and averaged 6.2 points
and 4.8 rebounds per game. He led
Kansas and ranked seventh in the Big
12 with 48 blocked shots last season.
Giles tied a school record against
Chaminade last November, sinking
nine straight field goals. He scored a
career-high 21 points that game.
Giles was a candidate to start for
the Jayhawks at center, although
junior center Sasha Kaun is now the
favorite to fill that role. If Self should
choose to go with a smaller lineup,
junior forward Darnell Jackson or
freshman forward Darrell Arthur
could replace Giles.
Giles scholarship will remain in
effect for at least the remainder of this
semester, although no formal deci-
sions beyond that have been made.

Many faculty members teaching
in Wescoe Hall said the ongoing con-
struction in the building is generally
not disruptive, though those in class-
rooms closest to the construction still
noticed a problem with noise.
Despite the Universitys decision
to have the loudest construction at
night, faculty in the buildings west
side say some disruptive noise is still
present. The construction is taking
place directly under the fourth floor
classrooms on that side of the build-
ing.
Ive had to try to speak up a bit
more and sometimes its been a little
too hard to hear students, William
Scott, professor of English, said. Its
not good.
The University moved the loud
construction to the night because
of complaints that it was disrupting
seminar classes in the late afternoon
and early evening.
But of course it still goes on dur-
ing the day, Scott said.
Faculty in other parts of Wescoe,
however, said there have not been
any problems as a result of the con-
struction.
John Sweets, professor of history,
has an office on the second floor of
the building and teaches a class on
its east side. He said those parts of
the building had not experienced any
noise problems.
In terms of me and the classes Ive
taught, its had no effect on my teach-
ing at all, Sweets said.
The only complaints from fac-
ulty in the east side of the building
stemmed from a perception that the
construction may have been the cause
of two power outages at Wescoe dur-
ing the semester. Jackie Hosey, associ-
ate director for news and public issues
at the University Relations office, said
the construction had nothing to do
with those power outages.
The lecture halls on the buildings
west side have also been largely free
from distractions.
Phil Schrodt, professor of political
science, said noise from the construc-
tion had disrupted his class in room
2039 only once. Most of the time, he
said, noise could barely be heard in
the classroom.
Youll hear a power tool for about
20 seconds, but nothing really too
bad, Schrodt said.
Both Hosey and Don Steeples, vice
provost for scholarly support, said
they had received no complaints from
faculty regarding the construction
since the schedule was changed.
Even though he said he was frus-
trated by the noise, Scott said he
thought the office and classroom
space that would be created by the
construction were necessary and the
noise was an acceptable result of that
progress.
All in all I think there are much
bigger problems facing the University
than this, Scott said.

Former KU womens basket-
ball coach Marian Washington
has denounced reports that she
or any of her former staff failed to
cooperate with
the University
during its inves-
tigation of rules
violations in
Summer 2004.
Washington
said in a press
release issued
through her
lawyer that
she and her staff never failed to
cooperate with Rick Evrard, the
Universitys counsel, on matters
relating to NCAA rules violations
during the Universitys investiga-
tion.
I cannot allow someone to
suggest that I, or my staff, did
not cooperate, Washington said
in the statement. I really resent
that he, or anyone else, would
suggest that.
When reached Tuesday eve-
ning, Evrard declined to com-
ment.
Washington was responding to
the allegation that the Universitys
self-imposed penalties on the
womens basketball team had to
do with her and her assistants
declining to be interviewed about
the infractions after they had left
Kansas.
The investigation, led by
Evrard, had revealed seven pos-
sible violations by the program.

Mark Parkinson, Governor
Kathleen Sebelius running mate for
lieutenant governor, spoke about his
high hopes for the upcoming election
last night.
Parkinson, a former Republican
turned Democrat, made a campaign
stop to speak to the University of
Kansas Young Democrats in the
Kansas Union. He said his three
desires to improve Kansas are through
public schools, alternate energy and
biomedical research facilities.
Parkinson cited the local option
budget program as an integral key to
bring about improvements in public
schools.
It is critical to increase the base
amounts spent on public schools,
Parkinson said. It is also critical that
we increase the amount that local
districts can raise on their own. If we
do these two things, we can create
world class schools in Kansas.
Parkinson said he wanted to
increase economic sectors of the
Kansas economy by creating more
outlets for alternate energy and
attracting biomedical research insti-
tutes to the area. He said he envi-
sioned a partnership between the
Stowers Medical Research Institute
in Kansas City and the University
of Kansas Medical Center as being a
vital part of expansion in the medical
research community in Kansas.
We believe that by marrying
the Stowers Institute with the KU
Medical Center and creating incen-
tives for biomedical research to be
done along the K-10 corridor to
Lawrence and along the I-70 corridor
to K-State that we can create the kind
of biomedical research triangle that
most can only dream of, Parkinson
said. We can do that and the gover-
nor has that kind of ability to make
that kind of thing happen.
Parkinson said his goal was to get
more KU students interested in the
gubernatorial election in November.
Marc Langston, President of
KU Young Democrats and Wichita
junior, was at Parkinsons speech and
said he thought it was important for
the University community to get to
know him as a candidate.
I dont think a lot of students are
aware of who he is, even though they
know who Governor Sebelius is,
Langston said. He has some strong
ideas that are important to KU in
terms of research.
Throughout his speech, Parkinson
praised Sebelius leadership as gover-
nor for the past four years in bringing
Kansas into a more stable budget
position. He said Sebelius indepen-
dent leadership and ability to reach
across party lines was key to that
success.
Parkinson himself changed his
political affiliation to run on the
Democratic ticket. He said he was
a moderate Republican, but joined
the trend of politicians becoming
Democrats.
Parkinson graduated at the top
of his class from KU Law School in
1984 and formed his own law firm
two years later. He was elected to
the Kansas House of Representatives
as a Republican in 1990 and two
years later was elected to the Kansas
Senate. He served as chairman of the
Kansas Republican Party from 1999
to 2003.
Sebelius selected Parkinson as a
candidate for lieutenant governor in
May after current lieutenant gov-
ernor John Moore announced his
retirement.

Fast-a-thon begins today,
ends with Fairgrounds meal
The Muslim Student Association
is sponsoring its third annual Fast-
a-thon today.
Fast-a-thon asks non-Muslim
volunteers to fast for one day from
dawn until dusk to raise aware-
ness of hunger through frst hand
experience.
The day-long fast ends with a
meal at 5:45 p.m. at building 21 of
the Douglas County Fairgrounds,
1930 South Harper Street. The
event coincides with the fast of Ra-
madan, which occurs in the ninth
month of the Muslim year.
Fadlullah Firman, Jakarta, Indo-
nesia senior and MSA president,
estimates that nearly 400 people
will participate in the event.
We are trying to expose a dif-
ferent side of Islam, said Firman.
Were also trying to help the com-
munity.
For each person who partici-
pates in the Fast-a-thon, spon-
soring businesses will donate a
certain amount to charity.
More than 500 participants

Sherifs Ofce continues
investigation into death
A Lawrence mans death has
been ruled a homicide by the
Douglas County Sherifs Ofce.
Anthony J. Vital, 28, was found
dead Sunday morning in a feld
in rural Douglas County near U.S.
Highway 40.
Investigators also want to speak
to Major C. Edwards Jr., whom they
believe has information useful to
this investigation, according to a
news release.
Lt. Kari Wempe, Douglas County
Sherifs Ofce spokeswoman,
declined to say if Edwards and Vital
were acquainted.
Investigators are still looking for
a 1988 Ford Thunderbird that may
be connected to Vitals death.
Anyone with information about
Edwards or the vehicle should call
the tips hotline at (785) 843-TIPS.

Poll: Americans harbor
misperceptions of Alaska
JUNEAU, Alaska Alaskas
governor wanted to fnd out what
the rest of the nation thinks about
their neighbor to the north, so he
commissioned a sort of pop quiz.
The results of the poll show that
Americans love Alaska, but they
dont know a whole lot about it.
More than half the nation thinks
that most of Alaska is covered in
ice and snow year-round. For the
record: Just 5 percent of Alaska is
covered by glaciers, ice and snow
all year.
Another result found that one of
every eight Americans believes the
Last Frontier is a separate country
or else doesnt know that its a
state.
Just 14 percent of those polled
had ever been to Alaska, but nine
out of every 10 said they had a
positive impression of the state.
Most cited its natural beauty and
vast space.
The nation holds a romantic
notion of Alaskans. Most described
the people who live there as
adventurous, rugged pioneers who
like their freedom and the wilder-
ness.
Giant rosary in Michigan
built from 59 bowling balls
NAPOLEON TOWNSHIP, Mich.
Ralph Kluk has made a rosary ft
for the Jolly Green Giant.
The 76-year-old has displayed
a 70-foot, 700-pound rosary made
out of bowling balls in his front
yard.
Its a good idea, said Kluks
priest, the Rev. Darius Wyszynski.
What else do you do with an old
bowling ball?
It took a little ingenuity, and a
few dozen phone calls to bowling
alleys and their patrons, for Kluk to
scrounge up the requisite number
of rosary balls.
He combined 59 balls, 20 cans of
pastel spray paint, 40 feet of black
piping and a wooden cross.
The hardest part, he said, will
be cutting my grass around it.

Hikers use camera fash
on cell phone for rescue
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Two
hikers lost in a heavily wooded
area got out alive thanks to
their cell phone not the
phone itself, but the camera
part.
A man and a woman, who
authorities did not identify,
alerted emergency workers
around 8:30 p.m. Sunday that
they had lost their way on a hik-
ing trail in the House Mountain
State Natural Area in east Knox
County.
Knox County Sherifs Ofce
used a helicopter to search for
the pair, but pilot Tony Cham-
berlain was unable to locate
them with an infrared device
that detects body heat because
of the heavy foliage.
The hikers fashlight batter-
ies were losing power, so the
woman told authorities by cell
phone that she would use the
camera fash on the phone to
alert the helicopter pilot, who
saw the fash using night-vision
goggles.
It was great the way every-
thing came together, said Leigh

University Governance is con-
ducting a series of public forums to
discuss changes to the tenure and
promotion procedures, but those
most affected by those procedures
arent attending them.
The Task Force on Promotion and
Tenure held the third of its seven
public forums Tuesday afternoon in
the Burge Union. The forum, a dis-
cussion of conflict-of-interest issues,
drew only two faculty members,
both already tenured.
Rick Hale, associate professor of
aerospace engineering and a mem-
ber of the task force, noted the con-
spicuous lack of an audience during
the discussion.
Its strange when 67 percent of us
are on the committee, Hale said, com-
paring the audience to the four-person
subcommittee overseeing the forum.
Richard Levy, professor of law
and chairman of the task force, said
it would be beneficial to have more
of an audience for these events.
I certainly would like more
attendance, Levy said. Id like to get
more views.
Levy said one of the previous
forums, one for non-teaching fac-
ulty, did draw an audience of about
25 people. The other had similar
attendance to Tuesdays forum.
One of the major issues that arose
during the forum was if a professor
up for tenure or promotion could
decide if a member of his review
committee had a conflict of interest.
No non-tenured faculty were present
to contribute to the discussion.
Jan Kozma, professor of Italian
and committee member, explained
the importance of having a faculty
voice at the meetings.
These forums are an opportunity
for faculty to come together and voice
their concerns and recommendations
for the process, Kozma said.
Despite the low attendance, Levy
said he had received several written
comments from faculty. He also noted
that faculty would have more opportu-
nities to comment in future meetings.
The critical point is that we hear
different points of view and we get
feedback, Levy said. Were getting
that input, though wed like more.

Professor Craig Martin is com-
fortable teaching biology in front
of 1,000 students in Budig Hall, but
he feels anxious
about waiting
tables.
Martin is
one of about
10 regular cus-
tomers at 75th
Street Brewery,
3512 Clinton
Parkway, who
will wait tables from 7 to 9 p.m.
Thursday to raise money for
Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Martin and several other regular
patrons will be trying to earn tips to
help the restaurant support the hos-
pitals Breast Center and its Stepping
Out Against Breast Cancer Dance
on Oct. 28. The Breast Center will
use the funds raised by the dance to
advance education, heighten aware-
ness and help bring newer treat-
ments to patients.
Matt Llewellyn, 75th Street
Brewery general manager, said
that Martin was the guest server he
expected to have the most support.
Hes a great guy, Llewellyn said.
He always comes in with a differ-
ent person or former students from
his classes.
Martin said his knowledge of
the restaurant would help him
Thursday.
I know the food and the beer
quite well and I thought it would be
fun, Martin said.
Llewellyn said that servers at the
brewery know Martin on sight and
know he would order an India Pale
Ale before he sits down. The regular
servers will be on-hand to help out
the rookie servers, who will get a
crash course before the night starts.
Christina Courtney, Overland
Park senior and a server at 75th
Street Brewery, is a former student
in Martins biology 100 class. She
said the restaurant wanted Martin
to participate because he frequently
visits the restaurant and is highly
visible on campus.
Courtney thought that since 75th
Street had done a fundraiser in the
past to support a local dental clinic,
it could do something similar for
National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month.
I think this is a really wonder-
ful opportunity for the community
to give back and support women
with breast cancer, Courtney said.
They can do so much by just going
out and eating like they normally
do.

Hawaii earthquake damage
estimated at $46 million
KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii Pre-
liminary damage estimates from
the earthquake that shook Hawaii
over the weekend hit $46 million
on Tuesday, and President Bush
declared a major disaster, opening
the way for federal aid.
Damage to seven schools and
a harbor on the island of Hawaii
accounted for most of the prelimi-
nary fgure, said Janet Snyder, a
spokeswoman for Hawaii County
Mayor Harry Kim. Damage to busi-
nesses, homes, roads and bridges
accounted for the rest.
These fgures are going to
change radically, I believe, because
information continued to stream
in, Snyder said.
The presidents disaster declara-
tion makes federal aid available to
the state and local governments
and nonproft organizations for de-
bris removal and other emergency
purposes.

NEW YORK A federal judge
on Tuesday refused to toss out claims
by thousands of emergency work-
ers who sued New York City and
about 150 private contractors after
the workers were sickened by dust at
the World Trade Center site.
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein dis-
missed claims against Consolidated
Edison Co. and companies con-
trolled by developer Larry
Silverstein, saying they did not
have legal control over the area
and therefore were not liable for
damages.
But Hellerstein said the city, its
contractors and the Port Authority
of New York and New Jersey were
only partially immune from lawsuits,
with the precise scope and extent of
the immunity varying according to
date, place and activity.
Andrew J. Carboy, a lawyer for
plaintiffs, called the judges decision
a first step forward in the legal
system for these other victims of
9-11.
Carboy, who represents 210
clients, mostly firefighters, said
Hellersteins decision comes as the
number of people making claims
climbs as high as 8,000.
Michael A. Cardozo, the citys
top lawyer, said a close study of the
facts surrounding the claims will
show that the city and its contrac-
tors were not liable.
Hellerstein said he will appoint
a special master to help eliminate
claims that should not be pressed
and oversee a case that is likely to
become unmanageable.
If even a minority of the plain-
tiffs suffered serious injuries to
their respiratory tracts arising from
the acrid air of September 11, their
claims deserve to be heard when a
recovery could make a difference in
their lives, the judge wrote.

Campaigning, classes
in store for candidates
CENSUS
Two students prepare to run against incumbents
By Erin CastanEda
Election candidates job titles
are often professional positions,
but for Rick Davis and Marcus
Kirby, that title is full-time stu-
dent.
Both can-
didates arent
w o r r i e d
about their
age affecting
their chances
of winning.
What they
are worried
about is that their
names wont be as recognizable
as their opponents during the
election Nov. 7.
Political science professor
Burdette Loomis said its not
uncommon for college students
to run for office. Getting a nom-
ination to run against an incum-
bent isnt hard he said, but a
challengers chances of winning
arent good because the oppos-
ing candidates are better-known.
Hes known several students who
ran for office and won, but only
after they had graduated from
college.
The National Conference
of Stage Legislatures, based in
Denver, doesnt keep track of
candidates names and ages. Karl
Kurtz, director of trust, recalled
a couple cases where college stu-
dents won elections, including
Congressman Martin Sabo. In
1960, Sabo ran for congress in
Minnesota while he was still in
college. He won, and is now get-
ting ready to retire.
Davis, a 23-year-old Phoenix
junior, decided to run as a
Republican candidate to represent
the 44th District after he discovered
that Barbara Ballard (D-Lawrence)
had no opponent. The 44th District
covers west-
c e n t r a l
Lawrence.
Davis said
Ballard has
faced oppo-
nents three
times in her
eight terms as
representative. He
decided this was reason enough
to run even though his experience
pales in comparison to Ballards.
He has been involved in politics
since he was 18. At the University
of Nebraska at Kearney, he founded
a chapter of College Republicans.
He interned with Nebraska
Congressman Tom Osborne and
was a 3rd District representative of
the Nebraska Federation of College
Republicans.
He said he spends 50 hours a
week campaigning, 30 to 40 hours
going door to door and 10 to 20
hours on the Internet researching
and sending e-mails. When hes not
knocking on Lawrence doors, hes
studying political science, spending
five to 10 hours doing homework.
He squeezes in about three to four
hours of sleep a night.
I cut sleeping a lot, he said.
Marcus Kirby, Olathe junior, also
decided to run because his oppo-
nent Paul Davis (D-Lawrence) was
unopposed in the last two elections.
He is running as a Libertarian to
represent the 46th District, which
covers north-central Lawrence.
I used to be a Democrat and
lately I havent noticed a difference
between the two parties, he said. I
came to the realization that for any
change to happen, the third party
needs to have a voice.
Kirby admits that being a full-
time student and campaigning is
going to be tough, but he doesnt
foresee a problem.
If I do win, I could start taking
night classes, he said. It would be
a full-time job and a paying job so
why not do it at the same time?
Kirby is taking 15 credit hours,
nine of which are courses for his
political science major. About
12 hours a week hes working at
Hayes Hamburger and Chili, 1410
Kasold St. He also devotes time
to his independent, math-rock
band called Parastrika and the KU
Libertarians.
He campaigns in downtown
Lawrence every weekend, handing
out literature.
He said he knows he has to look
and act professional to encourage a
better response because of his age.
My challenger has lived here all
of his life, he said. He has his work
cut out for him and has an estab-
lished name to where I have no real
tie to the community. So its more
about name recognition now.

Growth changes nation
Increasing population causes sprawl, loss of middle class
By Mark viErthalEr
For the past 40 years, virtual-
ly every time Deborah Peterson
returned home to Michigan, anoth-
er stretch of forest was missing.
You come
around a curve
and where there
used to be a for-
est, theres noth-
ing, she said.
It just rips your
guts out.
As the United
States hit the
300 million
mark Tuesday,
some people are
beginning to
take a look back
on how things have changed since
the 200 million milestone in 1967.
The problem with the increase isnt
so much the concentration in one
area or another as much as it is the
tendency to sprawl, Peterson said.
Peterson, Eastern Asian
Languages and Cultures lecturer,
said her biggest concern with the
increase in population was the
environment.
The United States is becoming a
sub-urban country, meaning many
people gravitate to single-family
dwellings out-
side large cities.
Peterson said
she has also
seen an increase
in automobile
c o n g e s t i o n
since she was a
little girl.
Ronald Ash,
business pro-
fessor, said he
noticed changes
in a more social
way.
During 1967 the United States
was involved in the Vietnam War.
At that time, Ash said the American
public was beginning to raise con-
cerns with the increasingly unpop-
ular war.
He said more people are now
raising the same concerns on the
War on Terror.
The most profound difference
from almost four decades ago, he
said, was the shifting of econom-
ics.
Between an increased popula-
tion and a more competitive world
market, Ash said its harder for
blue-collar workers to make ends
meet. While in 1967 there was a
strong middle class, he said present
indicators show the U.S. heading to
a larger gap between the upper and
lower classes.
I dont want to call them haves
and have-nots, Ash said. It would
be more fitting to call them have-
mores and have-lesses.
The population landmark hasnt
been met with concern from the
city.
Mayor Mike Amyx said although
the number was significant, the
commission hadnt considered
marking the occasion in any way.
Denise Martinek, director
of maternity and pediatrics at
Lawrence Memorial Hospital, said
there were no babies born within
the predicted time frame for the
300 million people. Although it
would have been exciting to poten-
tially have the 300 millionth per-
son, it was impossible to determine
who it was.
Meredith Kleycamp, assistant
professor and social demographer,
said Kansas wont be largely affect-
ed by the population increase until
the United States begins pushing
the 400 million mark.
According to the United States
Census Bureau, the next 100 mil-
lion milestone will be reached
around 2043.

TV station sued for defamation
By rOXana hEGEMan
assOCiatEd PrEss
WICHITA A Wichita man
who wrongly came under suspi-
cion in the BTK serial killings had
his reputation
destroyed when
a local television
station identified
him, his attor-
ney told jurors
Tuesday.
But the attor-
ney for Wichita
station KSNW
argued that its
coverage of his
Dec. 1, 2004,
arrest was accu-
rate and the station was just doing
its job.
Roger Valadez sued Emmis
Communications, then owner
of KSNW, and its news director
Todd Spessard, claiming the station
defamed him in its coverage of his
arrest on minor, unrelated warrants
for trespassing and housing viola-
tions.
Valadez came to the attention of
the task force investigating the BTK
killings after they got a tip fingering
him as a possible suspect. Police
used a battering ram to knock down
the door at his home and went in
with guns drawn. They took a DNA
sample from his mouth, and 20
officers with the task force searched
his home for evidence that might
link him to the killings. Several
boxes possible
evidence were
removed from
the house.
Valadez was
never charged
in connection
with the slay-
ings. He was
cleared long
before the
arrest of Dennis
Rader, who
confessed to all
10 BTK killings.
Not a single day goes by Roger
Valadez doesnt feel the pain inflict-
ed on him by KSN, his attorney,
Craig Shultz, said in opening argu-
ments.
But defense attorney Bernard
Rhodes told jurors that Valadez
did not even see the media cover-
age until his lawyer showed it to
him, and noted the only profes-
sional from which he sought help
was a lawyer not a psychologist
or counselor.
The station also distanced itself
from the coverage: This wasnt a
KSN story this story was every-
where, Rhodes said.
Spessard, who is named as a defen-
dant in the lawsuit, took the stand
Tuesday. Emmis Communication
sold KSNW in January.
Spessard, who remained as news
director after the sale, said he went
into the station after getting a call
sometime between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.
after KAKE-TV reported a possible
break in the BTK investigation.
We were just reporting what was
happening, Spessard testified.
Valadez is seeking in excess
of $75,000 and a public apology,
according to lawsuit.
In opening arguments, Shultz
said he was not going to criticize
the conduct of police. He noted
investigators had taken some 1,400
DNA samples in addition to that of
his client.
He said his client was in bed and
did not hear police knocking on his
door, prompting them to put the
house under surveillance. At some
point during the surveillance, some-
body tipped a reporter from The
Wichita Eagle that BTK investiga-
tors were at the Valadez house.
Now you have police watching
Roger Valadezs house and you have
a reporter watching the police, he
said.
KSNW was the only station to
name Valadez on the air. Every
other station respected the rights of
Mr. Valadez, Shultz said.
Shultz downplayed the connec-
tion to the BTK investigation, saying
the police tip fingering his client was
deliberately erroneous.
But Rhodes painted a far differ-
ent scenario showing police took
the tip seriously staking out the
Valadez home, getting a search
warrant from the judge oversee-
ing the BTK case, and assembling
a swat team. He said police were
convinced at the time that Valadez
was a true BTK suspect and were
awaiting DNA results.
Not a single day goes by Roger
Valadez doesnt feel the pain
inficted on him by KSN.

We said, were going to take the

I asked at that time if there was

Evrard said that phone conversa-

SAN VICENTE, Argentina
A lavish reburial ceremony for
Argentine strongman Juan Domingo
Peron degenerated into violence
Tuesday, as rival factions hurled
rocks at one another and riot police
dispersed them with rubber bullets
and tear gas.
The fighting between club-wield-
ing groups of men on the fringes of
a large and mostly peaceful crowd
of thousands resulted in at least 40
injuries, according to local media
reports. One man was televised fir-
ing a gun.
The violence was apparently
sparked by members of rival factions
of the Peronist party angry about
not being able to gain entrance to
the ceremony, according to local TV
and newspaper reports. However,
authorities had no immediate con-
firmation on the motives for the
battles or the groups involved.
As Perons cortege traveled from
his old tomb in downtown Buenos
Aires to the new mausoleum at his
former weekend estate, thousands of
weeping admirers tossed carnations
and confetti.
Riot police tightly ringed the
flag-draped coffin as it made its way
toward the new crypt. As Perons
body was laid into the new mausole-
um, hundreds of supporters clapped
and yelled Viva! Long live Peron!
The independent television net-
work TodosNoticias captured the
mid-afternoon violence and showed
one man with what appeared to be
a handgun in a small group of men.
The televised footage showed his
gun recoiling four times in a matter
of seconds, smoke rising from the
barrel.
Before Perons body arrived,
men outside the estate, shirtless,
unleashed a fusillade of rocks and
sticks against the stout wooden
entrance gate before. The violence
lasted several minutes before groups
inside put ladders up against the
brick walls of the estate and lobbed
rocks back in defense.
This was supposed to be a fiesta,
a historic day. Instead it is a great
shame, said one woman fleeing
with her family. Others left in cars
with windows shattered by rocks.
Removed from the Peron fam-
ilys relatively humble crypt at the
Chacarita cemetery, Perons body
was borne in a coffin topped by a
military cap and saber in an hours-
long procession led by guards on
horseback to a new $1.1 million
mausoleum outside the capital.
Authorities closed a major high-
way ahead of the sunset reburial
Perons third since his death in
1974.
We are paying homage to our
Peronist party, to the political party
of our grandfathers and our fathers!
said 24-year-old Daniel Ferreri.
Peron dominated Argentine
politics like no other 20th-century
leader with his glamorous wife Evita
at his side, cultivating an enormous
working-class following by redirect-
ing agricultural wealth to legions
of urban poor through projects to
build schools, hospitals and homes.
Peron was elected president three
times and died in office at age 78
in 1974.
Relatives of the late Eva Peron, or
Evita, who died from cancer in 1952
at age 33, have opposed moving
her coffin from her familys tomb
in the Recoleta cemetery in down-
town Buenos Aires to lie beside her
husband.
Nonetheless, the ceremonies
underscored how the movement
that bears Perons name has suffered
deep fissures since his death: for-
mer presidents Carlos Menem and
Eduardo Duhalde, rivals of current
President Nestor Kirchner, and all
Peronists, said they would not take
part. Kirchner canceled plans to
attend after the violence broke out.

SEOUL, South Korea Satellite
images indicate North Korea
appears to be getting ready for a
second nuclear test, officials said
Tuesday, as the defiant commu-
nist regime held huge rallies and
proclaimed that U.N. sanctions
amount to a declaration of war.
China, the Norths longtime ally
and biggest trading partner, warned
Pyongyang not to aggravate ten-
sions. The U.N. has condemned the
Oct. 9 atomic blast.
Concern over a second test
stems partly from new satellite
imagery showing increased activ-
ity around at least two other North
Korean sites, a senior U.S. defense
official said.
The activity, started a number of
days ago, included ground prepara-
tion at one site and construction of
some buildings and other struc-
tures, said the official, who spoke
on condition of anonymity because
it involved intelligence gathering.
A senior South Korean official
told foreign journalists that despite
signs of a possible second test, it
was unlikely to happen immedi-
ately.
While U.S. officials insist they
arent about to invade, they have
taken other steps against North
Korea even before the U.N. reso-
lution including severing it from
the international financial system.

AssOciAtEd PREss
GREENSBURG Scientists were
excited when they pulled a 154-
pound meteorite from deep below
a Kansas wheat field, but what got
them most electrified was the way
they unearthed it.
The team Monday uncovered the
find 4 feet under a meteorite-strewn
field using new ground-penetrat-
ing radar technology that someday
might be used on Mars.
It was that technology that pin-
pointed the site and proved for the
first time that it could be used to find
objects buried deep in the ground
and to make an accurate three-
dimensional image of them.
It validates the technique so we
can use something similar to that
instrument when we go to Mars,
said Patricia Reiff, director of the
Rice Space Institute.
Such GPR systems had been used
in the past to locate smaller mete-
orites through the ice in Antarctica.
But until the Kansas dig, the tech-
nology had not been successfully
used for ground detection in heavy
soils like on Mars to find mete-
orites or water there.
The dig was likely the most docu-
mented excavation yet of a meteorite
find, with researchers painstakingly
using brushes and hand tools to
preserve evidence of the impact trail
and to date the event of the meteorite
strike. Soil samples also were bagged
and tagged and organic material pre-
served for dating purposes.
When we find a piece of mete-
orite, each one is a new sentence
we add to the book to understand
the evolution of the solar system,
said Essam Heggy, planetary scien-
tist at the Johnson Space Centers
Lunar and Planetary Institute in
Houston.
Even before they had the pallasite
meteorite out of the ground, the sci-
entific experts at the site were able
to debunk prevailing wisdom that
the spectacular Brenham meteorite
fall occurred 20,000 years ago. Its
location in the Pleistocene epoch soil
layer puts that date closer to 10,000
years ago.
We know it is recent, said Carolyn
Sumners, director of Astronomy at
the Houston Museum of Natural
Science, as she surveyed progress
on the dig. Native Americans could
have seen it.
The expedition was put together
by the Houston Museum of Natural
Science and led by meteorite hunt-
ers Steve Arnold and Philip Mani.
Johnson Space Centers Lunar and
Planetary Institute, the Rice Space
Institute at Rice University and
George Observatory in Houston also
sent researchers.
Fewer than 1 percent of the mete-
orites discovered on earth are pallas-
ite meteorites, known for their crys-
tals embedded in iron, Mani said.
Sophisticated metal detectors
at the site initially detected what
had been thought to be the larg-
est pallasite meteorite ever discov-
ered. But ground-penetrating radar
showed that the object was only a
steel cable.
The Brenham field was discovered
in 1882. Scientists have since traced
pieces of the shower as far away as
Indian mounds in Ohio, indicating
the meteorites were traded as pieces
of jewelry and ceremonial artifacts.
The site was largely forgotten in
recent decades until Arnold and
Mani leased eight square miles of it
and began looking deep below the
surface. More than 15,000 pounds
of meteorites have been recovered
from the area.
This weeks find will end up as
part of a new exhibit on comets,
meteors and asteroids at the Houston
Museum of Natural Science. The
museum will pay about $50,000 for
it, Sumners said. It is valued at more
than $100,000, she said.

Guatemala, Venezuela vie for U.N. seat
world
Countries reject compromise for Latin American position on Security Council
By NicK WAdHAMs
AssOciAtEd PREss
UNITED NATIONS Guatemala
failed repeatedly to muster the nec-
essary votes to beat out Venezuela
for a Latin American seat on the
U.N. Security Council, prompting
diplomats on Tuesday to demand a
compromise candidate.
Both have so far refused, and the
U.N. General Assembly scheduled yet
more rounds of voting on Thursday
by its 192 member nations. That left
a day off for Latin American nations
to try to find a solution.
In the 22nd round of voting,
Guatemala garnered 102 votes to
Venezuelas 77. That result, simi-
lar to that of many of the previous
rounds during the last two days,
was 23 votes short of the two-thirds
needed to win, and it now appeared
that neither would be able to bridge
the gap.
Its obvious that the General
Assembly is sharply divided and we
are facing a deadlock in this election,
said the Arab Leagues U.N. repre-
sentative Yahya Mahmassani. We
look forward to the group of Latin
American and Caribbean states to
find a solution to this impasse, with
the acquiescence and acceptance of
the two candidates.
Yet neither Venezuela nor
Guatemala appeared willing to drop
out of the election.
Venezuelas U.N. Ambassador
Francisco Arias Cardenas com-
plained that the United States
pressed countries worldwide to pre-
vent Venezuela from winning a seat
on the 15-nation council.
We are fighting against the first
power of the world, the owners of
the universe, Arias Cardenas said.
Were happy, were strong and we
will continue.
Roy Chaderton, the Venezuelan
diplomat who played a key role in
his countrys campaign for the seat,
said the results were only a minor
setback in the long struggle against
U.S. efforts to dominate internation-
al affairs.
This battle will prepare us for
another battle within the interna-
tional community, Chaderton told
Venezuelan state television Sunday.
The results were seen as a set-
back for Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez, who had lobbied hard in
capitals around the world, offering
millions of petrodollars in aid.
Diplomats said his bombastic
speech to the General Assembly
last month, when Chavez railed
against the United States and called
President Bush the devil, may have
hurt Venezuelas chances.
The vote, however, also reflected
the ambivalence toward Guatemala,
Washingtons preferred candidate.
Even Guatemalan Foreign Minister
Gert Rosenthal had earlier expressed
discomfort about the highly pub-
lic U.S. campaign against Venezuela
and in support of Guatemala.
After Mondays balloting,
Rosenthal said his nation was an
independent voice that would vote
according to its own policies.
The record number of ballots for
a Security Council seat occurred in
1979, when the General Assembly
held 154 unsuccessful votes to
choose between Cuba and Colombia.
Mexico was then put forward and
won in the 155th round.
Possible other candidates include
Uruguay, Costa Rica, Mexico and
the Dominican Republic.

These are difficult days for the
war effort.
Daily attacks from insur-
gents present constant dangers
for those fighting. Waning pub-
lic support, mostly a product of
political problems, has seem-
ingly eroded a previously strong
commitment. Most importantly,
a parade of generals warning of
civil war and interminable strife
has dampened the administra-
tions claims of progress.
We may now face an impor-
tant crossroads in the Iraq and
counterterrorism efforts. It may
be time to finally decide if this
effort is worth the cost required.
As young people, of whom not
much sacrifice is asked, we are in
a unique position to evaluate this
question. We are supportive of
our nation and government, but
are inherently skeptical of any
group that refuses to stray from
an obviously flawed strategy. We
may be the most unattached and
unbiased segment of society, as
we have yet to form entrenched
loyalties to other parties, and
so we are in the best position
to evaluate the war in terms of
a cost-benefit analysis. Is the
expected return of this war effort
worth the monetary and human
expense required?
This is an uncomfortable sub-
ject, as it is impossible to quan-
tify the cost of a human life. But
we do know that we are spending
about $267 million a day in Iraq,
a staggering amount by any mea-
sure. Is it worth it?
The country has devolved
into a fractious state of warring
parties, with Americans unfor-
tunately caught in the middle.
Military leaders warn of no end
in sight. Is this what you get for
roughly $97 billion a year? We
can directly compare this cost to
what we could have accomplished
had this money been directed to
homeland defense, port security
and other deserving areas.
Then there are the intangi-
ble effects: To what extent has
this investment alienated and
angered allies and enemies? Has
this effort caused us to overlook
a valid North Korean threat?
Will the American populace ever
trust another dire warning about
impending threats?
Most of us are asked to give
nothing to this war effort, so it is
easy for us to examine it with the
obvious benefits of hindsight and
distance. Would we be so cava-
lier about perpetuating this war
if it affected us more directly?
At some point, we young
people must recognize a flawed
strategy and seek a change in
direction. We will be paying for
this war for years to come, and
it is time we started asking these
questions.
McKay Stangler for the edito-
rial board
On a crisp fall evening before
rehearsal, one of my high school
students walked up to me and
asked if he could be my friend on
Facebook. I had to reply no. I am
there as his teacher, not his friend
even though I am only a few
years older than him and still in
school myself, perhaps a school he
will be at in a years time. I am a
student teacher working in a local
high school in my last semester of
my undergraduate degree.
In the world as we know it,
people from many different net-
works interact with each other in
very specific ways. At school, work,
the doctors, when I teach students
or work at summer camp, there is
an expectation of how interaction
occurs, and there is, of course, vari-
ance and crossover of people and
forms of interaction.
On Facebook I have friends.
That is the label given to the people
I know. Although I can specify my
relationship, they are still listed as
friends. Should I join a network
attached to a company, my cowork-
ers would be my friends on the site,
not coworkers as they are to me.
That is not to say I cant be
friends with my coworkers, just that
I have a distinctly different relation-
ship with them than the people I
associate with at school. This creates
an interesting interaction for profes-
sionals and non-professionals alike.
If I join a regional or other
network, this expands further and
becomes more complex. Lets use
the example of a youth group leader
I know. When I came up in my
church community he was a mentor
and friend to us. He additionally
has many friends in the church and
city where I grew up. He is also a
lawyer. These areas of his life, while
never exclusive, probably had rela-
tively little interaction or influence
on each other.
The next generation of youth
group leaders will have a very
different experience. In light of
Facebook, these different areas
could have much interaction very
readily. Events planned for the
church youth group are listed, par-
ties of friends are listed and office
parties might be listed as well.
Students who look up to the person
as a mentor can see what he did on
Friday night, as his coworkers can
see what he does with his youth
group.
This interconnectedness blurs
the lines and established rules of
interaction. Is the youth group lead-
ers professionalism undermined
at work because he goofs off with
teenagers at church or because he
sang karaoke after throwing back a
few at the bar on Friday night? Does
his youth group lose faith in him if
he cant be as relaxed on Facebook
and with them because he has to
maintain a level of professionalism
for his job?
For my own situation there are
many similar questions. I have my
own battles to fight as a young
teacher in a high school. I am very
near the age of my older students
and many of them look to younger
teachers, such as myself, as friends
on Facebook. The student/teacher
role has been around for many years
in relatively the same form. It is a
professional working relationship.
With Facebook, students and their
teachers are being placed together
in social networks where they are
equals.
Every generation faces its own
challenges. The students currently
in high school and college will live
in a much more interconnected
world than their parents and teach-
ers. Computers and the Internet
have already allowed for a great
sharing of knowledge and informa-
tion faster and much more broadly
than ever before. Instant messaging,
e-mail and cell phones have created
an immediacy to the shared con-
nectedness. This generation will
struggle with social boundaries.
What is the role of the teacher, the
student, the friend, the mentor, the
boss, the employee? Can these all be
the same person? At the same time?
To the same people?
This generation and all that fol-
low will know interconnectedness
and nothing else. There will be no
time when they couldnt call anyone
anywhere or send them a mes-
sage that is delivered in seconds.
Facebook has already shown that
it has the ability to do great things.
It brings people together in ways
never before possible. It has recently
become an agent for social aware-
ness, activism and action.
It will also present many chal-
lenges concerning the sharing of
information with persons and the
interaction of people in different
roles.

COMMENTARY
How to use your job to score, legally
GUEST COMMENTARY
Howdy, friend! How Facebook
has redefned our relationships
Mark Foleys attempts to use his
job to attract the eyes of underage
pages are well known. Unfortunately
for this man well-learned in the
law, it is illegal to have sex with a 16
year old.
For the rest of us law abiding
non-senators, we have all tried, or
thought about trying, to use our
jobs to aid our search for a partner,
both long and short term. Whether
its dating someone you work with
or hitting on a customer, we want
our low-paying jobs to pay off in
other ways.
Unfortunately for us college stu-
dents, we dont have the most glam-
orous jobs. Between being a server,
working in retail, some form of
part-time construction and/or land-
scaping or being a computer tech,
there arent a lot of perks that could
attract a significant other. However,
there are if you spin it right.
Lets use a gas station clerk,
for example. Most people would
assume this job sucks, and it prob-
ably does. However, there are two
very hot items that you control
the sale of in your store: gas and
cigarettes.
Gas prices have finally fallen
below the price of a gallon of milk,
but that doesnt mean it is cheap
I still feel like Im getting screwed
every time Im at the pump. So if I
get offered cheap gas at the price of
a picnic date in the park, I might
just do it, even if it means carrying
a wicker lunch basket and eating on
a quilt.
The cigarettes offer a more
intriguing opportunity for the clerk.
Each year, tobacco is becom-
ing more and more criminalized.
Lawrence has implemented a smok-
ing ban that is being copied in cities
around the country. It seems more
restrictions are added to smoking
every day.
The irony is, while tobacco is
being criminalized, marijuana is
gradually being decriminalized. In
five years, youre going to have to
pretend to be high just to enjoy a
pack of Parliaments.
Plus, the price of cigarettes is
always on the rise. Soon, cigarettes
will be more expensive than crack.
John, have you been smoking
the rock?
Yes. I just wanted a pack of
Marlboros, but who has that kind
of cash?
As a gas station clerk, not only
can you offer cheap cigarettes, but
you can also offer an indoor place
for the hot girl and her friends to
smoke. Play a little techno music,
and you have yourself a party scene.
If you work in retail, especially a
clothing a store, youve been given a
great opportunity. You can actually
practice undoing clothes without
another person involved. This prac-
tice can help you not fumble with
that zipper, button or bra in the
dark when it really matters.
If youre really crafty, you could
try this: Bet your honey/boo that
you can have his or her pants
unbuttoned and unzipped in less
than two seconds. A friendly bet
becomes a lot more fun with your
zipping and buttoning mastery.
If you work for a landscaping
company in your free time, you
have a great way of getting a first
date. Go to the persons house you
want to date, and with some planted
flowers, bushes and trees, spell out,
Dinner and a movie? in the front
lawn.
You can out-do all those spoiled
Laguna Beach kids who think writ-
ing Prom? on their chest is so
great. Plus, how can anyone say no
to that much effort?
Most of us without landscap-
ing knowledge would butcher this
technique. We would probably just
dig up a bunch of dirt in a shape
that spelled out, Movie?, which we
would spell wrong.
You see, just because our part-
time college jobs suck doesnt mean
we cant use them to our advantage.

BY TYLER NOAH
Surrounded by contrasting schol-
arship halls and student-populated
bars, the Sprague Apartments have
a different kind of atmosphere.
Located at 1400 Lilac Lane, it is a
building completely occupied by
retired KU faculty members, who
appreciate the convenience that
Sprague offers.
Founded in 1960 by Elizabeth
Cade Sprague, a former professor
at the University of Kansas, the
Sprague Apartments were erected
as a memorial to Elizabeths sister,
Amelia. She donated money to the
Kansas Endowment Association, a
non-profit organization used for
raising private funds beneficial
to the University, and in 1960, a
10-apartment, red-brick apart-
ment building was constructed
with hopes of providing furnished
housing for retired faculty, said
Daryl Beene, senior vice president
of property for the Endowment
Association and current coordina-
tor of the Sprague Apartments.
Sprague was responsible for the
establishment of home economics
classes at the University, and taught
from 1914 until her retirement in
1941. Sprague had always wanted
to contribute to her surroundings,
as her donation showed.
Most people know little about the
Sprague Apartments, even though
they are nestled amidst a flurry of
student activity. Nevertheless, the
facility is extremely rich in tradi-
tion and history. Stored under a
coffee table in the lobby is a pair of
scrapbooks documenting the time-
line of Sprague and the lives of pre-
vious residents. There are pictures,
postcards and newspaper clips that
document an overwhelming sense
of legacy and friendship.
Sprague sits on top of the 14th
Street hill at the edge of campus.
Six apartments contain two bed-
rooms, while the remaining three
are single bedroom units. The main
parking lot sits directly on cam-
pus only a few paces away, and
with balconies overlooking the rear
parking lot, residents can enjoy
warmer days by sitting outside in a
calm neighborhood near campus.
Surprisingly enough, Beene said
he has no recollection of noise
complaints as a result of the neigh-
boring bar scene. The bars have
never been an issue, he said. With
scholarship halls at the foot of the
Sprague parking lot, the immediate
noise level is kept to a minimum.
Not far away, residents can enjoy
political, educational and commu-
nity events put together by the
Endacott Society, an association for
retired faculty members.
Beene said that the complex
consists of a great group of people
who can help each other if help is
needed.
Residents must fulfill certain
requirements in order to live at
Sprague Apartments, but with a
legacy spanning almost 50 years,
Sprague Apartments still has a long
waiting list.

Mangino not
performing to
expectations
It appears the University of Kansas
now has two cases of lack of institu-
tional control.
In addition to Lew Perkins and
his band of goodfellas, err, hench-
men, err, associates, its clear to me,
and probably the other 41,202 in
attendance Saturday afternoon, that
Mark Mangino and his staff have lost
control of the football team.
Saturdays debacle had an eerie
Terry Allen-like feel to it from the
beginning. The crowd was slow to
trickle in, and when it finally did,
people were more concerned with
figuring out what bar to go to after
the game or whether that free keg
was on Mississippi Street or Ohio
Street. What, were winning 17-0? No
worries, the big guy will figure out
another way to lose this one.
And boy did he ever. In what was
the most uncomfortable 17-point lead
Ive ever seen, there was never a feel-
ing that Kansas had the game locked
up. Especially when Kerry Meier was
either running a quarterback draw or
throwing the ball five yards down the
field, or to the side of the field, or as
was often the case: not throwing the
ball at all and taking a sack.
It was more a lame-duck throw
on fourth and goal from the two and
turnovers that killed Oklahoma State
than it was anything the KU defense
was doing.
And that second half? Man, was
that some exciting football! Can we
clone Aqib Talib? But the most laugh-
able part of the KU game was after-
ward when Mangino said hed give
his Heisman vote to OSU receiver
Adarius Bowman for his 13-catch-,
301-yard- and four-touchdown per-
formance. Is that so, coach? Well, if
youre going to reward players who
torch the KU secondary, Bowman
will have to fight for honors with his
quarterback Bobby Reid, Nebraskas
Zac Taylor, or Louisiana-Monroes
Kinsmon Lancaster.
The deal is this: Ive maintained
my allegiance to the big guy and said
that he is the right guy to lead Kansas
to Big 12 success. While I wasnt sure
about him getting a hefty contract
extension, hey, Lew didnt ask for my
input. Sure Mangino has done some
great things in his time here, like end-
ing streaks to Nebraska and Kansas
State and beating Missouri three years
in a row.
But there are some glaring, scratch
that, blinding blips on Manginos
coaching radar. Most notably? The
guy cant win close games and he
cant win on the road. Hold on a sec-
ond, let me check the Handbook for
Coaching Success; its in my bookcase,
right next to How to Avoid a First-
Round Flameout Three Years in a
Row. Coach Self, feel free to borrow;
okay, here it says, must win close
games and road games, at least one
in every three, to someday be suc-
cessful.
Dont shoot the messenger, boys
and girls.
I know Mark Mangino has been
successful in the turnaround of two
Big 12 programs Im reminded
of it every time I read KU football
notes for an upcoming game. But lets
remember one thing he did that
as an assistant coach, not the head
coach. Mangino built himself a lot
of equity with the last two seasons
when nobody expected much. Now
that people do, well, we havent gotten
much. I want to see Mangino turn
around a third program, but Im not
sure how many more close losses and
road failures this guy can survive to
see it through.

Bob Davis to be honored

Away games crucial to postseason play
fOOtball
Repeat bowl game appearance relies on overcoming October funk
By ryAn schnEidEr
The temperature around the
Kansas football team is starting to
heat up this week.
No, Mark Mangino isnt feel-
ing additional pressure in anticipa-
tion of the 90-degree temperatures
expected this weekend in Waco,
Texas. Instead, its the increasing
sense of urgency his team is start-
ing to feel as its postseason goals
may slowly be slipping away.
The Kansas football coach
said he began to feel that sense
of urgency during the teams
Sunday afternoon workout.
Theres a lot of hard work invested
here and theres nobody, theres
nobody ready to throw the towel
in, Mangino said. We still have a
chance to do a lot of things here.
If Kansas wants to qualify for a
bowl game in back-to-back seasons
for the first time in program his-
tory, it will have to pull itself out
of its traditional October slump.
Under Mangino, Kansas is just 3-15
in the month of October. The only
victories in that month have been
against Baylor in 2003, Kansas State
in 2004 and Missouri in 2005. All
those victories were at home.
Getting back to a bowl game is
within reach, but could be tough.
To do it, Kansas will have to snap
its six-game road losing streak and
win at least one away game.
We know that we have to get
back on track and get back on track
fast because things could get a little
tough, sophomore wide receiver
Marcus Herford said. Weve seen
them make things tough for us
these past years, but were in a posi-
tion that if we can pick it up now,
itll make it easier for us as we go
along.
A victory this weekend against
Baylor could help, but the schedule
doesnt get any easier. Three of
the teams remaining five games
are away from Memorial Stadium,
including Baylor (3-4), Iowa State
(3-4) and Missouri (6-1). The
remaining home games are against
Colorado (1-6) and Kansas State
(4-3).
While he acknowledged that
his team feels a sense of urgency,
Mangino said that was no reason to
start shaking up the teams routine.
Thats a sign of panic, he said.
It sends a bad signal to the play-
ers.
In keeping with his teams rou-
tine, Mangino said hell continue
to stick with some of his younger
players, despite their struggles in
conference play. Part of the learn-
ing curve, he said, is battling
through tough times and continu-
ing to improve.
Thats what its about, just keep
at it, Mangino said. Keep sawing
wood.

Kerry Meier drops back to pass
and finds a wide-open Marcus
Herford down the field for a 35-
yard touchdown. Just like on any
big Jayhawk play, Bob Davis lifts
out of his chair in the radio booth
near the top of Memorial Stadium,
head shaking, God-given radio voice
booming.
His excitement is heard by thou-
sands of listeners across the state.
Now, after 39 years in the booth,
Davis is being inducted into the
Kansas Broadcasters Hall of Fame
this Sunday.
Well gosh, Davis said. I guess
Ive been around for a while.
the a.M. Man
Davis has done television he
spends his summers doing play-
by-play on the Kansas City Royals
television network but its on the
radio where his skills and personal-
ity shine through.
Davis started his career at KAYS
in Hays where he did both radio
and television sports and news. He
was hired right out of college he
majored in History at Washburn
graduating in 1967 and did a little
bit of everything. He was on the
noon TV news, played records on
the radio in the afternoon and did
the 10 oclock sports on the news
telecast.
He found his way to the sports
radio booth right away after KAYSs
play-by-play man got a job in
Lansing, Mich., soon after Davis
arrival.
They were dumb enough to hire
me, Davis said. And not to be brag-
gadocio, but that was a pretty good
small-market operation and I think
they very rarely hired anybody that
didnt have experience full time. But
I was willing to work both radio
and TV.
Davis fell in love with his job
while announcing high school and
college basketball and football games
in Fort Hays. He moved to Lawrence
in 1983 to become the voice of the
Jayhawks. He loved sports growing
up, but because he wasnt much of
a player on the field, he decided he
would be more of a natural fit in the
booth.
Stumbled around mostly, Davis
says of his playing days. So thats
why I think I thought, man, I think
the broadcast might be my catch.
Davis not only loves calling games
but is also a sports radio broadcast
junkie. On the way to away games,
his co-workers said he insisted they
listen to Friday-night high school
games during the entire trip. His
son, Steven Davis, said he even lis-
tened during the backyard pickup
games they played together.
He always has the radio on,
Steven said. He doesnt know the
F.M. side exists, but he knows every
A.M. station in the Midwest.
Working overtime
Davis struggles to pull himself
away from his craft. He announces
Kansas football in the fall, Kansas
basketball in the winter and spring
and Royals baseball throughout the
summer. Before he started announc-
ing Royals games, Davis was a sports
talk show host on KMBZ in Kansas
City.
Davis still had to do his gig with
KMBZ when the Jayhawks were
on the road. Producer-engineer of
the Jayhawk network Bob Newton,
who used to room with Davis on
road trips, remembers the morning
broadcasts all too well.
Hed be up at the crack of dawn
that booming voice on the phone
doing his morning sports report,
Newton said. And Id open one eye
and look over there and hes sitting
in his shorts on the bed with his legs

was chosen to be a walk-on this
season for the kansas mens basket-
ball team.
he participated in open tryouts,
held oct. 15 in allen Fieldhouse. all
full-time students at the university
were eligible for the tryouts.
when contacted by The univer-
sity Daily kansan on Tuesday, with-
erspoon confrmed his selection,
but said that he would wait to com-
ment until a formal introduction.
This is the frst time in coach Bill
selfs three-year tenure that he has
chosen a player from open tryouts
to join the team.
There are currently 14 players
on the roster. witherspoon would
make 15, though the future of ju-
nior center c.J. giles is in jeopardy.
witherspoon joins sophomore
guard Brennan Bechard and sopho-
more center matt kleinmann, who
were invited to walk on the team.
The most famous walk-on in re-
cent memory was christian moody,
who came to kansas as a walk-on
but later became a starter and
scholarship player.
The womens basketball team
currently has one walk-on, sopho-

Cubs sign new manager
with three-year contract
CHICAGO, Ill. - Lou
Piniellas coming to
Wrigley Field, agreeing to
a three-year contract to
manage the Chicago Cubs
and accepting a job that has long
been one of the most challenging
in baseball.
His assignment: Get to the play-
ofs and win a championship with
a franchise that hasnt been to a
World Series since 1945 and hasnt
won one since 1908.
Piniella, who will be introduced
Tuesday at a news conference,
has a deal that is worth about $10
million.
Piniella replaces Dusty Baker,
another veteran manager with a
strong resume, who left after four
years when his contract was not re-

Athletics fre manager;
no replacement named
OAKLAND, Calif. - Ken
Macha was fred as man-
ager of the Oakland Athlet-
ics, two days after the West
champions were swept out of the
playofs by Detroit.
The As did not announce a
replacement. Bench coach Bob
Geren was considered a top can-

Oakland went 368-280 in his
four seasons as manager, but has
frustrated management and fans
by failing to get into the World

Ravens get rid of
ofensive coordinator
BALTIMORE, Md. - Balti-
more Ravens coach Brian
Billick has fred ofensive
coordinator Jim Fassel and
will take over the play-call-
ing for the Ravens ofense.
Billick said it was difcult for
him to let Fassel go, saying he has
been a valuable and loyal coach
to me. However, he added, clearly,
in order for us to expand on our
4-2 start we have to have more
ofensive productivity.
Fassel was in his second year as
the Ravens ofensive coordinator
after serving a season with the
team as a senior consultant to the
ofense.
He previously served as head
coach of the New York Giants from
1997 to 2003, guiding the Giants
to two NFC East titles, a conference
championship, an appearance in
the Super Bowl and a wild-card
playof berth.
Yankee pitcher to have
back surgery this week
NEW YORK - New York
Yankees left-hander Randy
Johnson will have back
surgery, according to a
newspaper report Tuesday.
Johnson, after consulting with
Dr. Robert Andrews, a noted Los
Angeles back specialist, will set a
date for surgery later this week,
according to a story in the Newark
Star Ledger.
Johnson was diagnosed with a
herniated disk in his back following
an MRI in September. He pitched in
the postseason with a sore back.
The Star Ledger quoted a per-
son familiar with the diagnosis as
similar to one Johnson had in 1996,
when he also underwent back
surgery. The same source is quoted
as saying Johnson should be in
the Yankees rotation for spring
training.
The 43-year-old Johnson was
17-11 with a 5.00 ERA this year. He
lost his only postseason start at
Detroit.

Alexander said he was trying to
stop a fght early Sunday. He was
charged with disturbing the peace
and interfering with ofcial process
-- both misdemeanors -- and was
released after posting bail.
After practice Monday, coach
Bob Stoops said any disciplinary
action would be internal.
Internally well do some work
with him in some ways unless
we fnd out something diferent,
Stoops said.

STOP BY OUR TABLE IN FRONT OF
WESCOE ALL THIS WEEK!
By Asher fusco
After fighting through a disap-
pointing 2006 season and endur-
ing the loss of assistant coach Roy
Edwards during the summer, there
were quite a few question marks
surrounding the Kansas mens golf
team.
After a fourth-consecutive
top-five finish, the only question
that remains is just how far the
Jayhawks can climb.
Helped by some exceptional play
from the senior tandem of Gary
Woodland and Tyler Docking,
Kansas finished in a tie for fifth
place at the Prestige at PGA West
tournament.
Coming into the tournament,
Woodland was the Jayhawks lone
star. On Tuesday, he was more
than willing to share the spotlight
with Docking. Docking rebounded
from a first-round 75 to post a sec-
ond-round 69 and a third-round
67 that ultimately lifted him into
a tie with Woodland for fourth
place.
Tyler Docking got off to such
good starts in the second and third
rounds, coach Ross Randall said.
It was great to see him regain
some confidence in his game.
Woodland had trouble with his
putting throughout the tourna-
ment, but managed to fire a 70 in
Tuesdays final round to secure his
fourth-straight Top-10 finish.
Sophomore Zach Pederson
showed vast improvement over a
poor showing on Monday, shoot-
ing a 69 in the third round to move
into a tie for 31st place.
Senior Barrett Martens and
freshman Bobby Knowles finished
in 66th and 70th places, respec-
tively. Both players tied for those
spots.
The tournament, held at the
Greg Norman Course in LaQuinta,
Calif., featured some of the stron-
gest teams from across the nation
within the 16-team field.
The team that Kansas tied for
fifth, USC, entered the tourna-
ment first in the nation in the
most recent Golfweek national
rankings.
Stanford finished two strokes
ahead of runner-up UCLA to take
home the team title. Zack Miller of
Stanford won the individual com-
petition with a score of 207, just
four strokes better than Woodland
and Docking.
The Jayhawks entered the tour-
nament ranked 27th nationally
and figure to move into the Top 25
after the impressive showing. For
a team that struggled to break the
Top 100 for much of last season,
success on the national level is
refreshing and not to be taken for
granted.
Obviously Im very pleased
with the way were playing,
Randall said. The guys are start-
ing to come around, but there is
always some work to do.
Kansas will look to continue
their run toward the top of the
rankings in Wilmington, N.C., on
Oct. 27 at the Landfall Tradition
Tournament.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Hes the
closest thing to Barry Sanders that
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy
says hes ever seen. Iowa States Dan
McCarney called him truly an
amazing football player.
To Texas coach Mack Brown, hes
one of the best running backs ever.
Now Adrian Peterson is probably
finished as a college football player.
Nevertheless, the coaches he had
bedeviled with his speed, power and
shiftiness were full of praise after the
Oklahoma star broke his collarbone
Saturday.
I grew up in this state. I watched
Billy Sims, (Elvis) Peacock, all those
guys, Gundy said on the Big 12
coaches Monday conference call.
Hes the closest Ive seen to Barry
Sanders. I really hated to see that he
got hurt. Hes an amazing runner.
Im sure well see a lot more of him
in the future on Sunday.
Peterson was at the end of a
53-yard touchdown run in No. 20
Oklahomas 34-9 victory over Iowa
State on Saturday when he was hurt.
The best-case scenario is that the
talented junior, the first Oklahoma
back to amass 3,000 yards rushing in
his first two seasons, might get back
in time for a bowl game.
Hes as good as any Ive seen,
including Heisman Trophy winners,
McCarney said. He is truly an amaz-
ing football player. He had two runs
in that game, I dont know if wed had
14 or 15 guys on the field wed have
stopped him. Hopefully, hell go on
and have a great career.
The Sooners are determined to
plow on without him.
I feel strongly as a team well
overcome it, said Oklahoma coach
Bob Stoops.
Three possible replacements are
juniors Allen Patrick and Jacob
Gutierrez and freshman Mossis
Madu.
Well be able to overcome the
loss and do well, Stoops said. No
one in our program feels it will hold
us back. Were just disappointed for
him personally.
It seems difficult to believe the
loss of such a high-quality back will
not weaken the Sooners.
Adrian is one of the best backs to
ever play game, a tenacious runner,
Brown said. We hate it for him.

KMBZ sports. And Id look over and
say, if people could only see this.
And he goes, dont tell anybody.
Respected among peers
Those who work with him
Newton, his football broadcast part-
ner David Lawrence and Jayhawk
Radio Network general manager
Angela Haar all say the same thing
about Davis: hes great at what he
does.
He doesnt make mistakes so its
hard to get a mistake to tease him on
because hes just really good at what
he does, Lawrence said.
Newton and Lawrence both said
even though Davis is so talented, he
doesnt let it go to his head. Davis has
gotten to where he is by knowing his
place in the broadcasts.
Ive always thought the game was
the thing, Davis said. People might
like an announcer but they really
tune in to hear the game. And thats
what theyre interested in not so
much hearing your head rattle.
But dont let Davis fool you; when
people tune in to hear a Jayhawk
broadcast, theyre going to be enter-
tained as he admits when he calls
himself a journalist and an enter-
tainer.
Davis is also entertaining off the
air. His co-workers said on road trips
he always tells stories and makes
them laugh. He used to get Max
Falkenstien, his former partner in
the booth, laughing so hard that
Falkenstien would tell him, Dont
make me laugh. Im going too hoarse.
Im not going to be able to talk dur-
ing the game.
Davis said hes the same person
on and off the air.
Youve just got to be yourself,
he said. I listened to a lot of people
growing up and I dont think I cau-
tiously patterned myself after any-
body. But I think the thing about
sports casting is there are probably
about as many ways to do it as there
are people doing it.
And I dont think you can be
somebody youre not. If you have
enthusiasm, I think it has to be genu-
ine and not forced. I know some guys
who rarely get excited or are excited
at a time when its really not time to
be. I just think you have to be what
you are and hopefully it works.
Davis doesnt try to hide that hes
a Jayhawk fan, but hes a broadcaster
first.
I think hes got the perfect bal-
ance of being a homer and being a
journalist, Newton said.
When the Jayhawks score a touch-
down, one of their biggest fans can
be found in the radio booth leap-
ing out of his chair and excitedly
telling the world.
His heart and soul are in those
broadcasts, Haar says. Hes as fired
up as those people in the stands are
if not more. Hes got that same
energy as the people taking the goal-
posts down.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Florida International, Miami punish players for on-feld brawl
BY TIM REYNOLDS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI Amid the pushing,
punching and posturing during the
sideline-clearing brawl between
Miami and Florida International,
some actions were deemed worse
than others. The punishments
reflected the differences in severity.
FIU kicked two players, Chris
Smith and Marshall McDuffie Jr., off
the team for attacks against Miami
holder Matt Perrelli. Hurricanes
safety Anthony Reddick, who swung
his helmet as a weapon, saw his one-
game suspension become an indefi-
nite one Monday.
The universities found that:
Reddick ran across the field
in the opening seconds of the fight,
helmet raised high before he struck
at least one FIU player. That mer-
ited additional measures, Atlantic
Coast Conference Commissioner
John Swofford said.
Chris Smith wrestled Perrelli
down as the melee began and
appeared to punch him in the chin.
As Smith held Perrelli on the
ground, McDuffie ran up and kicked
the Miami player in the head.
There were many other violent
acts committed during the fight, yet
those were the ones that the schools
apparently deemed the most griev-
ous.
What was envisioned as an
opportunity for two hometown
teams to provide an evening of
athletic competition resulted in a
brawl that brought embarrassment
to the teams, our universities, and
our community, Miami president
Donna Shalala wrote Monday in a
letter posted on the schools Web
site.
Shalala will meet with FIU presi-
dent Mitch Maidique on Thursday
to determine if next seasons game
between the teams will be played. An
announcement will be made by the
weekend, Shalala said.
Miami ordered each of its other
12 players suspended along with
Reddick to serve community ser-
vice, plus said it re-emphasized
the importance of sportsmanship to
coach Larry Coker and members of
his staff.
The brawl was the third on-field
incident in Miamis past seven games;
the Hurricanes also fought with LSU
after losing last seasons Peach Bowl
and trampled Louisvilles midfield
Cardinals logo before playing there
last month, an act widely viewed as
taunting.
Former Miami player Lamar
Thomas lost his TV analyst job
with Comcast Sports SouthEast
over comments he made during the
brawl. CSS will also edit out those
comments before replaying the game
later this week.
You come into our house, you
should get your behind kicked,
Thomas said during the fight. You
dont come into the OB playing that
stuff. Youre across the ocean over
there. Youre across the city. You
cant come over to our place talking
noise like that. Youll get your butt
beat.

Big 12 footBall
Marquee match-up begins this weekend for national title
Missouri lost its first game of
the season on Saturday, falling
to Texas A&M. Shawn Garrison
wrote this column for Tuesdays
Maneater.
Tiger fans were
given a not-so-
friendly reminder
on Saturday that
Gary Pinkel is still
the Missouri foot-
ball teams coach.
Despite three backbreaking turn-
overs, the Tigers had the ball inside
the Texas A&M 5-yard line in the
fourth quarter and were looking to
take back the lead and momentum.
Quarterback Chase Daniel was con-
veying images of Tom Brady and
John Elway, as it appeared that despite
his teams poor effort, he was going to
do whatever was necessary to carry
his team to victory.
Then Pinkel took over. He inexpli-
cably decided to take a delay of game
penalty on fourth-and-goal from the
Aggie 4-yard line. Then he made the
mind-blowing decision of having his
team attempt a fake field goal, and
wide receiver Brad Ekwerekwu was
tackled well short of the end zone.
Now, I could write a thesis about
whats wrong with this play calling,
but Ill try to just hit some of the
major flaws. First off, if youre going
to go for it on a fourth down, whether
it is with your offense or a trick play,
you cannot take a delay of game pen-
alty. Thats common sense, and I hope
that it was some sort of miscommu-
nication, which is still inexcusable
when you have timeouts remaining.
The biggest problem I had with
this decision was the fact that the ball
was taken out of Daniels hands for
the biggest play of the game. If this
had happened earlier in the game
it would be one thing, but this was
a fourth-and-goal during the fourth
quarter in which the all-important
momentum was about to swing one
way or the other.
This is the point in the game
where you call a play youre comfort-
able running, give the ball to Daniel
and hope for the best. Daniel had a
record as a starter of 37-1 going back
to his high school days for a reason.
He knows how to make the plays that
win ball games.
This would be like NBA coach Phil
Jackson drawing up a play for Ron
Harper while Michael Jordan watched
from the bench. It simply defies logic.
The Tigers did not sniff the end zone
after that. All hope was lost after Tony
Temple was tackled short of a first down
on an option play called on fourth-and-
two (another questionable play call).
Coaches often say that you learn
a lot more about a team after losses.
We certainly learned a lot about the
Tigers on Saturday. They have obvi-
ous weaknesses in stopping the run
and turning the ball over. The fact
that they have no ability to run the
ball in between the tackles could also
be considered a problem.
Its now important to keep things
in perspective. Despite Pinkels vin-
tage performance, he is still the favor-
ite to win Big 12 coach of the year,
and the Tigers are still capable of
winning a conference championship.
But next weeks Homecoming game
against Kansas State will be a defining
moment of this season for Missouri.
Whether the team comes out reas-
serting its dominance with a convinc-
ing victory or has another lackadaisi-
cal performance will set the stage for
the rest of the season and ultimately
determine whether the hype sur-
rounding this team for the past few
weeks was justified.
The Big 12s marquee
match-up will be in Lincoln,
Neb., this weekend as Texas
and Nebraska face off in a
battle for Big 12 supremacy.
Alex Blair wrote this article
for Tuesdays edition of The
Daily Texan.
Now that the
Baylor scare is
behind them,
Texas has to get
ready for the big-
gest game of the
year: No. 17 Nebraska.
Ohio State was big, but not as
important as the result Saturday.
The Longhorns are still in the
national title picture, even with a
loss to the Buckeyes. They wont
be if they lose this weekend in
Lincoln, Neb.
And with the Longhorn pass
defense what it is, a loss to the
Cornhuskers is a distinct possibil-
ity.
Though Baylor couldnt keep
the Longhorns out of the end zone,
they still passed all over Texas and
scored 31 points. It was only the
sixth time that the Bears scored
more than 30 against Texas since
1950 and the first time in 12 years.
Baylor threw for an incredible
320 yards. Thats more yards than
the Bears threw for against TCU,
Washington State, Army, Kansas
State and Colorado. When Texas
couldnt rush the passer, Bell was
able to find his open receivers, who
were Legion.
The game might have been
a laugher at the end, but the
Longhorns were exposed as a team
who cant defend the pass.
Ohio State showed that to be
true. The Buckeyes only collected
79 rushing yards, but threw for 269.
Troy Smith bolstered his Heisman
chances by throwing for 10.3 yards
per pass and two touchdowns.
The Longhorns have had no
relief from the bombardment in
conference play. Besides Baylors
aerial display, Iowa States Bret
Meyer threw for 302 yards and
two touchdowns. Two weeks ago,
Oklahomas Paul Thompson threw
for 209 yards, with a 7.7 yards per
pass average. Who knows? If the
Sooners hadnt been so dedicated
to Adrian Peterson and called more
pass plays, the outcome might have
been different.
Its obvious at this point that the
one starter from last years squad
that Texas misses the most isnt
Vince Young, but lockdown cover-
man Michael Huff. And that spells
trouble against senior quarterback
Zac Taylor and Nebraskas West
Coast offense.
The Cornhuskers are averag-
ing 240 yards per game through
the air and are averaging almost a
first down every time they throw.
As if thats not enough, Nebraska
is also balanced. The Cornhuskers
are also the Big 12s top rush-
ing team, averaging more than 200
yards per game. A good ground
game fuels the success of Taylors
aerial attack.
Not to be overlooked is the
Huskers vaunted Blackshirts
defense. Nebraska is first in the
conference in scoring defense, sec-
ond in turnover margin and fourth
in rush defense
Suffice to say, Nebraska is eas-
ily the toughest opponent left on
Texas schedule. Texas Tech, who
Texas travels to next weekend, has
lost to Missouri, TCU and - worst
of all - Colorado. Texas A&M got
beat by Texas Tech, then had a win
handed to them by Mizzou.
For Texas, the road to the Big
12 Championship and a third BCS
berth in three years runs through
Lincoln. And the Longhorns have
got to be concerned.
Longhorns must boost defense to master Huskers Tigers coach bungles play, hands victory to Aggies
Harry Cabluck/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The defending national champion Longhorns couldnt help but be a bit surprised to fnd
themselves all the way down at No. 9 in the seasons frst Bowl Championship Series standings
released this week. Texas wide receiver Quan Cosby here attempts to excite the crowd during the
pre-game warm-up before his teams 63-31 victory over Baylor in a football game Saturday in
Austin, Texas.

BY JENNA MARINA
INDEPENDENT FLORIDA ALLIGATOR
GAINESVILLE, Fla. Although
the Gators reached the pinnacle of
college basketball last season, UF
coach Billy Donovan thinks his team
didnt live up to its potential.
I went back and watched a lot
of the NCAA Tournament games,
and you know what we didnt
play well, he said before Madness
2006. If you looked totally at the
scoreboard, we were a dominating
team, but we really were not a domi-
nating team if you looked at how we
played.
Senior Lee Humphrey was not
surprised at his coachs point of
view.
Thats kind of how I figured
Coach would be, because even in
our wins during the regular season,
we always looked at film and where
we could make improvements,
Humphrey said. I think Coach
mentioned when we were getting
ready for the Canadian trip that
we made a lot of defensive mistakes
that we could improve on. I think
its good that Coach looks at those
things to make us a better team.
Its hard to imagine UF perform-
ing any better in the 2006 tourna-
ment.
The Gators held four of their six
NCAA opponents under 60 points
and defeated teams by an average of
16 points per game.
Individual players achieved
record-breaking accomplishments
as well.
Then-sophomore Joakim Noah
blocked an NCAA Tournament-
record 29 shots, and Humphrey
drained a UF NCAA Tournament-
record 22 three-pointers.
Still, the players accept Donovans
take.
Coach is always the type of guy
that feels like we can get better at
something, junior Al Horford said.
I think we played pretty well, but
obviously you can always get better.
You have to believe when he says
that we can get better. You always
got to stay on edge and try to work
on something new.
With that in mind, the team has
endured daily two-a-days since its
two-hour practice before Madness
2006 on Friday.
Their energy, their focus, their
competitiveness has been terrific,
Donovan said. Weve got to do a
little bit more fine-tuning on things.
Because of the Canada trip, were
further along in terms of whats been
implemented.
While Donovan and the rest of
the Gators have repeatedly said they
do not want to look back on last
season, they may be doing just that
in the weeks to come.
Im going to show them film of
the Villanova game and the George
Mason game, Donovan said, and
say, You know what, this is us, and
we can be better than we were.
