BY RAY SEGEBRECHT
rsegebrecht@kansan.com
Brighid OMalley kept a 20-hour
workweek throughout her senior
year last year, but she never expect-
ed a cent of compensation.
OMalley, 2009 graduate, majored
in applied behavioral science a
degree that requires two semesters
of practicum volunteer work from
every student because she want-
ed to help children with special
needs. Volunteering at the Edna
A. Hill Child Development Center
preschool gave her that opportu-
nity in college.
I always wanted to work with
handicapped children, OMalley
said. Thats always been my goal.
When the kids would see me in the
hallway and run up to me and give
me hugs, I knew I was making a
difference with them.
Last spring, however, she and
149 other students received an
unexpected $1,000 in federal
grant money for volunteer work
they completed for their degrees.
The University received the
money from the Kansas Campus
Compact through its Careers for
the Common Good grants. The
Kansas Campus Compact, which
created the CCG program last year,
will use an extra $100,000 from
the Serve America Act for state
AmeriCorps programs to extend
the program to include 400 stu-
dents statewide this year. 200 of
the grants awarded will go to KU
students.

Department uses textiles scholarships to attract students
BY BETH BEAVERS
bbeavers@kansan.com
While money is tight for arts
programs around the coun-
try, the textiles program at the
University of Kansas is now one
of the wealthiest of its kind in the
nation. Textiles majors received
approximately $75,000 in schol-
arships this semester. The money
came from a fund that was estab-
lished 25 years ago and previously
was used to fund various arts
scholarships. But this semester,
the scholarships are exclusively
for textiles majors.
The Doris Fair Carey
Scholarship Fund was originally
given to the University in 1984 to
benefit students pursuing degrees
in textiles. However, at the time
of the donation, there was no
specific textiles department, so
the money was distributed among
all craft design majors, includ-
ing ceramics, metals and tex-
tiles, Todd Cohen, director of
University Relations, said.
When the School of Fine Arts
was reorganized this spring, tex-
tiles was moved to the visual art
department and out of the design
department. Now the fund can
be used exclusively for students
pursuing degrees in textiles.
Dawn Guernsey, professor and
chair of the department of visual
arts, said the money would give
professors the opportunity to
recruit students from all across
the country.
According to the 2008 U.S.
News and World Report rankings,
the Universitys textiles program
is ranked seventh, but Guernsey
said she hoped the money would
give the department an even
greater competitive edge.
I am really excited about it,
Guernsey said. It means the pro-
gram can be on a national level.

It overlooks the Campanile, Memorial
Stadium and downtown Lawrence. For
now it is a construction site one with
multiple cranes and 100-120 construc-
tion workers at any given time during

The Oread will rise to a height of
more than 100 ft. It will have four floors
underground and nine floors above
ground.
The four underground floors will be
called P1, P2, P3 and P4, in descending
order, and will contain a nightclub, two
restaurants, a spa, a theater, a fitness
room and parking. The nine above-
ground floors will contain a restaurant, a
KU Bookstore, a fifth-floor terrace, rent-
able rooms, privately owned condomini-
ums and a rooftop observation deck.
THe CAve
The Cave will be a 600-capacity dance
club on the lowest floor of the building,
four stories underground. Inside the club,
there will be a lowered dance floor, a DJ
booth in the southwest corner, several
bars and seating for about 150 people.
The club will be open to the public and
to hotel guests. The interior of the club
will have granite bar tops and stained
concrete floors.
The Cave will have a three-part secu-
rity system to ensure that no underage
students enter the club. The system will
include electronically scanning IDs.

BOSTON Sen. Edward M.
Kennedy, the liberal lion of the
Senate and haunted bearer of the
Camelot torch after two of his broth-
ers fell to assassins bullets, has died
at his home in Hyannis Port after
battling a brain tumor. He was 77.
For nearly a half-century in the
Senate, Kennedy was a steadfast
champion of the working class
and the poor, a powerful voice on
health care, civil rights, and war
and peace. To the American pub-
lic, though, he was best known as
the last surviving son of Americas
most glamorous
political family,
the eulogist of
a clan shattered
again and again
by tragedy.
His fam-
ily announced
his death in a
brief statement
released early Wednesday.
Weve lost the irreplaceable cen-
ter of our family and joyous light
in our lives, but the inspiration of
his faith, optimism, and persever-
ance will live on in our hearts
forever, the statement said. We
thank everyone who gave him care
and support over this last year, and
everyone who stood with him for
so many years in his tireless march
for progress toward justice, fair-
ness and opportunity for all.
Kennedy was elected to the Senate
in 1962, when his brother John was
president, and served longer than
all but two senators in history. Over
the decades, he put his imprint on
every major piece of social legisla-
tion to clear the Congress.
His own hopes of reaching the
White House were damaged
perhaps doomed in 1969 by the
scandal that came to be known as
Chappaquiddick, an auto accident
that left a young woman dead.
The third-longest-serving sena-
tor in U.S. history, Kennedy was
diagnosed with a cancerous brain
tumor in May 2008 and underwent
surgery and a grueling regimen
of radiation and chemotherapy.
His death late Tuesday comes just
weeks after that of his sister Eunice
Kennedy Shriver on Aug. 11.

The entrance to The Cave will
be a four-flight stairwell located
behind the hotel that will lead
down to the club entrance. The
line to enter the club will extend
up the stairwell and out to the
north end of the building. There
will also be a private club and a
series of smaller bars that bring
the total capacity of the club up to
600 people.
A corridor will connect the pri-
vate club directly to the rooms.
Three smaller bars throughout
the hotel will be used for special
purposes, such as wine bars or
martini nights.
Businesses
Along with parking garages, the
first underground floor, P1, will
be home to a hotel-owned spa
called Lemon Bliss, Jimmy Johns
and a hotel-owned pizza restau-
rant called A Slice of History.
Lemon Bliss will offer massages,
manicures, pedicures and tanning
booths.
A Slice of History will have a
salad bar and a pizza bar. Posted
on the walls of the restaurant
will be photos from University
and neighborhood history, with
captions explaining their signifi-
cance.
Itll be things people know
about and theyll see them and
wonder, Longhurst said.
Each of these businesses will
have entrances along Indiana
Street.
The LoBBy
A revolving door will open into
the first floor lobby. The whole
building is meant to have a very
open feel, Longhurst said.
Arched doorways will line the
interior, and visitors will be able to
see into every restaurant. A private
dining room in the lobby will be
enclosed with blue glass, to preserve
the open feel of the architecture.
Immediately to the right upon
entering the lobby will be a KU
bookstore. To the left will be The
Bird Dog Bar, open for lunch and
dinner. The bar will serve typical
bar food, such as sandwiches and
fries, and seat about 80 people. It
will also feature an outdoor ter-
race where the owners plan to hold
sports broadcasts, particularly help-
ful after football games.
We hope this will become the
after-game party site for fans, fami-
lies, and students, Longhurst said.
Just outside the bookstore will
be a candy and snack shop featur-
ing 12 flavors. A hostess near the
check-in area will lead guests to a
hotel-owned restaurant called 521
that will serve good, hearty food,
Longhurst said.
ConferenCe rooms
and TheaTer
The lower lobby will feature
a 270-capacity conference room
called the Griffith Room that
will be used for conferences,
receptions, dinners, and other
events. The room gets its name
from the Griffith House, the first
building to stand on the Hotels
property.
We gave historical names that
have to do with the Mt. Oread site
and KU to rooms throughout the
hotel, Longhurst said.
Three smaller breakout rooms,
one accommodating 40 people and
two accommodating 60, will also
have historical names.
Floor P1 will also contain a
40-50 capacity theater. The theater
will have a bar near the entrance,
plush seats and a large projection
screen. Longhurst said the theater
would be used for movie nights,
PowerPoint presentations during
conferences, sports watch parties
and even as a location for sports
teams to review plays.
This floor will also contain a
small exercise room for guests,
with 6-7 exercise machines.
fifTh fLoor TerraCe
and oBservaTion
deCks
On the fifth floor, an outdoor
terrace overlooking the football
stadium will be open to the public.
The terrace will be equipped with
a restaurant, bar and restrooms, as
well as tents and heaters to protect
guests during the rainy season.
There will be two rooftop
observation decks: one atop the
eighth floor, and a much smaller
observation deck atop the ninth
floor that will be open by appoint-
ment only.
aCCommodaTions
Condos and hotel rooms will
be located only on the nine floors
above ground. Floors 2 through
5 will contain 100 rentable guest
rooms, and floors 6 through 8
will have privately-owned condos.
Rates for the rooms will range from
$99 to $250 per night.
Rooms will range from queen
doubles to king suites. The king
suites will be located just above
the revolving door entrance to
the lobby, and will connect to
two large windows overlook-
ing Jayhawk Boulevard and the
Campanile.
The four condos on floor 6 and
three condos on floors 7 and 8
have already been sold to alumni,
both from Kansas and around the
world.
These buyers each designed
their own homes, and many will
use them as a convenient location
from which to attend sports games.
Condo owners will have special key
cards that will allow them access to
the floors they live on.

grants (continued from 1A)
who, as part of their coursework,
volunteer in struggling communi-
ties, Matthew Lindsey, executive
director of the Kansas Campus
Compact, said.
Any student who receives one of
the awards must first serve a strug-
gling community for a minimum
of 300 hours in one of three focus
areas education, health care and
non-profit support, Lindsey said.
Lindsey said the half-dozen col-
leges and universities in Kansas
that participated in the program
first had to request how many of
the grant awards they would like
to offer.
This year, we have 400 total
slots, Lindsey said. KU requested
200 slots. It is the largest that is
going to any school in this pro-
gram. Theres probably three or
four that are in the 50 to 100
range.
Andi Witczak, director of the
Center for Service Learning, said
the non-profit support area of the
program allowed her to open it up
to graduate students in the law and
pharmacy schools and allow more
students to participate.
Todd Rogers, assistant dean for
career services in the law school,
said he hoped the award would
help law students with an interest
in public service accept unpaid
internship opportunities without
going into debt.
Its wonderful to tell students
you can go to these public interest
employers, you can do good work,
and you can also get compensated
through these educational awards,
Rogers said. To be able to tell
them there may be a light at the
end of the tunnel, there may be
some monetary reward for this is a
great thing.
Lindsey said he hoped the grow-
ing student interest in the program
meant that it would continue to
make a positive difference both in
the lives of the students and in the
underprivileged Kansas communi-
ties they serve.
There is strong evidence that
service benefits the economy,
Lindsey said. The more we can
encourage students to pursue pub-
lic good careers, the better off the
state is going to be. Theyre also
getting education dollars that they
can spend later that are also stimu-
lative.
Witczak said many of the recipi-
ents last year chose to save their
award to pay for graduate school
because, unlike scholarships,
which usually must be used imme-
diately, the grant awards give stu-
dents a window of seven years to
choose when they wish to use their
money.
OMalley said she chose to use
her award immediately to help pay
off a student loan.
I felt lucky, glad that I was
given the money, OMalley said.
I was ecstatic when I heard about.
It helps people who are trying to
help others.

Kentucky cant require
ofce to mention god
FRANKFORT, Ky. A judge
says its unconstitutional to
require the Kentucky Ofce of
Homeland Security to acknowl-
edge it cant keep the state safe
without Gods help.
Circuit Judge Thomas Wing-
ate ruled Wednesday that the
requirement in a state law
violates the U.S. and Kentucky
constitutions.
The Courier-Journal of
Louisville reports that Wing-
ate said the General Assembly
created an ofcial government
position in the law that requires
the ofce to acknowledge the
dependence on Almighty God.
The AP was unable to get a
copy of the ruling Wednesday.

The Oread is now well on
its way to completion. But be-
fore construction even began,
developers had to ensure the
hotel, which has nine stories
above ground, would be
accepted by neighbors and
concerned students.
Sam Schlageck, Manhattan
graduate, founded a Face-
book group called Students
Against the Oread Inn more
than a year ago. At the time,
he said he would be sad to
lose The Crossing and Yello
Sub, where he and his friends
liked to hang out. He said that
his opposition to the hotel
was a learning experience,
but that he has now given up.
I dont really care any-
more,Schlageck said. Theres
nothing I can do now; they
already built the damn thing.
Carol Von Tersch, board
member for the Oread Neigh-
borhood Association, collabo-
rated with designers of the
hotel to ensure it wouldnt
disturb nearby property own-
ers. Six months of discussion
had many results.
We wanted to make sure
they were compatible with
the historic nature of the
neighborhood,Von Tersch
said.
The developers will also
renovate the stairs leading up
the hill from the stadium, re-
pair all the curbs on Jayhawk
Boulevard and along Indiana
Street, and will organize all
outdoor parking so that car
headlights will not face any of
the residences.

BOSTON A lawyer for
Survivor winner Richard Hatch
is threatening to go to court if her
client is not released soon from a
Massachusetts county jail.
Hatch had been serving the
remainder of a prison term for tax
evasion on home confinement at
his sisters Newport, R.I., home.
He was jailed Aug. 18 after
granting two TV interviews
for which the federal Bureau of
Prisons says he didnt have proper
permission.
Hatch remained behind bars
at the Barnstable County jail in
Bourne after a hearing Wednesday
with sheriff s deputies, said his Los
Angeles-based lawyer, Cynthia
Ribas.
She said the information gath-
ered at the hearing will be passed
on to federal prisons authorities,
who will then decide whether
Hatch will be moved back to a
prison, to a halfway house or
returned to home confinement.
Bureau of Prisons spokeswom-
an Felicia Ponce said she could
not confirm where Hatch is being
held, but said he remains under
the supervision of the depart-
ments Philadelphia office.
Its awful. Its been eight
days. Hes tormented. It makes
no sense, Ribas said. Well file
something in a real court of law if
they dont get him out of there.
Hatch was not allowed to have
a lawyer present at Wednesdays
hearing with two sheriff s depu-
ties, Ribas said.
She and the Rhode Island
chapter of the American Civil
Liberties Union submitted wit-
ness statements.
The ACLU claims that Hatchs
constitutional free speech rights
are being trampled.

W
ith todays struggling
economic climate,
money (or lack thereof)
can make or break a business, espe-
cially a local one. In light of the eco-
nomic recession and the challenges
of breaking even, students need to
support Massachusetts Street and
all local businesses around it, to pre-
serve the unique downtown experi-
ence for everyone.
Last fall, students at the
University represented all 50 states
and more than 110 countries in the
world. Perhaps one of the most tra-
ditional aspects of the city life is the
rich history of downtown, a history
which today is challenged by hard
economic times. Numerous stores
have had to close their downtown
doors, and it is up to the commu-
nity to keep the remaining ones
alive.
Recent summer closings in the
downtown area include Palace Cards
& Gifts, Round Corner
Drug Store, Blue Heron
Home Furnishings and
Old World Pottery.
For Tom Wilkerson,
owner and founder
of Jayhawk Spirit, a
sportswear and collectibles store
on Massachusetts Street, which
was started in 1981, the recession
has not directly affected the store.
However, he said he could see its
effects by just looking down the
street.
I could probably name more
businesses that have left than ones
that have come to take their place,
Wilkerson said. We can stabilize
what our expenses are going to be,
and if theres a slow period, we make
adjustments.
The effects of the recession are
evident around the country, even in
the smallest towns of the Midwest.
Lawrence hasnt been hit the hard-
est, but to see the recession affect
downtown life is just as dishearten-
ing.
Wilkerson also pointed out how
a mall opened in Columbia, Mo.,
and killed their downtown. This
is yet another reason
Lawrence should refuse
to resemble its eastern
neighbors. The vibrant
downtown energy and
atmosphere doesnt
compare to the stale
inside of a mundane shopping mall.
Merchandise that is hard to
find, some of it is specialized, and
people think our store is pretty
special. Where else can you get this
kind of diversity? Wilkerson said.
In January of this year, the Office
of Advocacy of the U.S. Small
Business Administration reported
that Kansas economic recovery
will depend on small business.
Lawrences stores are the epitome of
small business and they need help
to succeed.
The Lawrence downtown
business district is in need of faith-
ful student support. Though the
economy seems to be fluctuating as
time goes by and businesses are in a
time of uncertainty, common sense
tells us that to keep our businesses
intact, we have to prove that we
want to keep them here.
Keep the malls and chain stores
at bay. Students and the members of
the community should spend their
money at downtown stores to pre-
serve local, unique businesses.

How To SUbmiT A LETTER To THE EDiToR
D
iet. At one time the
word alone was enough
to make even the most
health-conscious of people cringe.
And now? Every magazine is filled
with the latest tips. Every morning
news show proclaims the best
methods. Everyone behind the
checkout counter thinks they have
the best advice. It is as if, suddenly,
there is no I in diet.
So, what exactly is the problem?
Couldnt it be assumed that the
increase in dialogue would lead to
more healthful eating habits and,
consequentially, bodies?
Au contraire!
Instead of creating a more
healthful America, mass dieting
has spawned a nation of androids,
blindly or rather, tastelessly
consuming foods based on current
fads. It is as if this nationalization of
feeding has resulted in widespread
distancing from the very best
parts of eating: the aromas, the
colors, the textures and finally the
tastes. And the worst consequence
of all, more so than the bizarre
willingness to consume cardboard
if suddenly deemed healthful, is
that Americans are surrendering
their abilities to truly enjoy food.
Yet, unlike the latest diet plans
that many people are so eager
to embrace, there is no quick fix
to overcoming contention with
culinary mediocrity. Instead, it is
necessary to rework the ways in
which we associate with food.
First, we have to learn to talk
about food not as the inevitable
and eternal enemy, but rather as a
close friend with whom we share
positive experiences and fond
memories.
Reworking my own relationship
relationship
with food has been a challenge, but
the greatest reward of becoming
aware of what I really am craving
is the deep joy and pleasure I feel
in indulgence. I now know that
I love a cool ice cream cone on a
hot summer day, a steaming cup
of aromatic coffee in the early
hours of a winter morning and a
slice of whole wheat bread topped
with peanut butter after an intense
workout.
Though I may not be sticking
to any strict diet, I have found that
acknowledging my hunger allows
me to feel easily and completely
satisfied. Often a bite of chocolate
that I slowly savor fills me up
more than a hastily devoured
and later regretted slice of rich
cake.
True, there are some key
principles that are important to
stick close to. No matter how
much they may be craved, a body
can only get by for so long on
Twinkies or hamburgers.
But beyond a few smart
guidelines, eating is more about
personal reflection than prescribed
diets. This approach may take
a bit more time and effort than
simply consuming based on fads.
However, the results of a healthy,
empowered body and truly
satisfied appetite are well worth it.

Embrace human rights advocacy
around the world and at home
FOOd
I
m going to ask you a question
that sounds really simple. Do
you care about people?
Most of you probably would say
yes. If not, youre probably aware
that my column wont really line up
with your interests or beliefs, but
thanks for trying.
This time, think deeply about
the question before you answer. Do
you really, truly care about other
people?
Chances are you care deeply
about loved ones and friends.
Many of us are guilty of caring
about someone when its conve-
nient and then dropping the ball
later, but no ones perfect. The
really hard part of the question is
deciding how much you care about
the people you dont know.
Sometimes the people who real-
ly need our care and concern are so
separated from our daily lives that
we push them to the back of our
minds and forget about them or
we just dont hear about them at all.
It doesnt mean we are bad people.
We are just part of an age that
implores us to see what is directly
in front of us as being urgent and
dismiss everything else in procras-
tination or defeat.
In that respect, human rights
advocacy isnt necessarily at the
forefront of the average American
college students mind. To begin
a more advocacy-oriented way of
thinking, I encourage you to dis-
band the stereotypes in your mind
of what social justice is all about.
Human rights arent just about
feeding starving children in Africa
or protecting refugees. There are
human rights abuses within the
United States and within your
hometowns that are equally impor-
tant. Start by considering those
issues that are in close proximity
to your life.
It is my opinion that the
University of Kansas takes great
pride in having culturally aware
and socially conscious stu-
dents. What should we expect
from ourselves as the student
body? So many groups such as
Oxfam International, Amnesty
International, Students Against
Sweatshops, Support International
and many more try to get us to
care about prominent social injus-
tices, but most of the time all they
get is a 10-minute-deep response
the audience cares about it for
10 minutes, but then they just go
back to living their everyday lives.
Schools and recruiters place such
a high emphasis on community ser-
vice that all we do is log hours and
keep track of how much our com-
petitors are doing.
Its not even about being a ser-
vice to the community anymore;
its about the community being a
service to us. By changing how you
think about social justice and basic
human rights, maybe you will get
more out of these discussions or
your community service projects.
I dont think students complete-
ly disregard what they hear about
these issues; they just need to assess
how to incorporate human rights
awareness into their daily lives.
Its easy to coast on autopilot
without much concern for outside
problems, but its much more effec-
tive in ones life to pay attention and,
when necessary, advocate change.

Pay-for-performance sets
dangerous precedent
alicia williams
U. Utah
Daily Utah Chronicle
I
t wasnt so long ago when
people who desperately want-
ed to go to school couldnt.
Prejudices against individuals of
certain genders, races and finan-
cial situations dictated the pre-
cious opportunity of attending.
Things certainly have changed.
With the increasingly popular
pay-for-performance programs
all over the country, American
students have gone from appre-
ciation of education to an expecta-
tion of cash incentives to learn.
Programs range from encour-
aging student attendance to tardy
control, tutoring and stressing
good performance on standard-
ized tests and Advanced Placement
exams. They target a wide variety
of schools but primarily focus on
low-income inner-city areas with
predominately low college atten-
dance. One idea is to pay students
a monetary award for their hard
work, and thereby promote good
habits to create successful college
students.
Its hard to find fault other than
the possibility that in doing so, we
are creating a generation of stu-
dents who will expect to be paid
for every effort they make toward
knowledge
According to a New York
City program, Rewarding
Achievement, or REACH, which
pays students up to $1,000 for high
scores on AP exams, the opportu-
nity to increase the low number of
black and Latino college students
is worth the experiment.
Its a different type of scholar-
ship, Edward Rodriguez, execu-
tive director of REACH, said..
The global nature of economic
competition is one that requires
our young people to be commit-
ted to their studies so that they
can develop the skills to compete
and participate in an economy
that is totally different than yes-
teryear.
Unfortunately, cash incentives
are working, and school districts
all over the nation are jump-
ing on the pay-for-performance
bandwagon. This could ultimately
be the downfall of academia, but
desperate times call for desperate
measures.
Hopefully, kids will still contin-
ue to learn for the love of knowl-
edge, and not just learn enough
to pass the test and say, Show me
the money.

Jeremy Appleton, Lees Summit,
Mo., senior, is at the cutting edge
of the business world. He is the
first University of Kansas student
to take advantage of one of two
new study abroad programs for
business students in Beijing and
Guangzhao, China.
The more I read and saw in the
news, the better China sounded,
he said in an e-mail from Beijing.
Students can choose between the
University of International Business
and Economics, in Beijing, and Sun
Yat-Sen University in Guangzhao,
where they will have the oppor-
tunity to learn Chinese business
practices as well as the Mandarin
language.
Carol Rose, director for the
Institute for International Business
at the University, said it was impor-
tant for business students to be
aware of Chinese business because
of their increased presence in the
global business market.
We need to be doing more in
China, Rose said. China is such a
huge trading partner with the U.S.
People are doing more in China
then they thought they would be
20 years ago. China is an important
economical force.
Rene Frias, program coordina-
tor for the Office of Study Abroad,
said that students in all fields, not
just business, had shown increased
interest in Asia in the past few years.
Other newly created study abroad
programs include Music Therapy in
Thailand and Architecture in Asia.
Michele Arellano, assistant director
of OSA, said the number of students
traveling to Asia last year increased
roughly 40 percent from the year
before.
The new program is a direct
exchange, which requires a one-for-
one student ratio from each univer-
sity. Two students from Sun Yat-Sen
University came to the University
last semester, unofficially starting
the program. Students must apply
through OSA and maintain a 2.5
grade-point average in the business
school to be eligible.
Rose said it was harder to get
KU students to commit to the pro-
gram than to get Chinese students
to come here. She said she under-
stood that business students at the
University already had enough on
their plates and might not be eager
to add the stress of learning a new
language such as Chinese. Still,
Frias encouraged students to take
the plunge, emphasizing the impor-
tance of experiencing the language
and culture of the company they
might one day be working for.
Appleton agreed that one of the
biggest challenges was the language
barrier, but he would not let that
stop him from learning.
While Im here I want to con-
tinue to meet other people, learn
as much Chinese as I can, and get
the best feel I can on their views on
business, Appleton said.

chase at most KU Dining locations
and free shoe rentals with paid
bowling games.
The card also offers a 15 percent
discount on KU Bookstore mer-
chandise, excluding textbooks,
electronics, food and sale items.
From an economic standpoint
its smart, just because other stu-
dent options are so expensive right
now, Emily Gairns, Leawood
senior and SUA vice president of
communications, said.
The card helps to pay for SUA
events throughout the year. Joe
Day, SUA president, said pricing
the card was important.
We take our prices very seri-
ously, Day said. We know there
are a lot of other options on cam-
pus.
SUA experienced a 50 cent
reduction from the student activ-
ity fees it collects from each stu-
dent, resulting in about a $15,000
decrease in funds available this
semester. He said the organiza-
tion was trying harder to consider
what it needed to include and
where reductions could be made.
Michelle Compton, student
development adviser, said SUA
was responding by spending
wisely and skimming evenly from
event funds.
Everybody is feeling the bud-
get cuts, Compton said.
So far, more than 600 cards
have been sold.
While not as much as last year,
its still good for the economy,
Justin Sailer, SUA vice president
of administration, said.
Gairns said there was a pos-
sibility that sales would not be as
high this year, but that those who
had cards would use them more.
The Kansan reported on Aug. 17
that card sales were lower than
last year.
The card costs $30, and still
allows students free admission to
weekly SUA movie showings.
Student Saver Cards can be
purchased and picked up at the
SUA Box Office, located in the
fourth level of the Kansas Union,
until Aug. 31.

SuA SCiENCE
Halted plan means new
rocket may be obsolete
WASHINGTON NASA will
test the powerful frst stage of
its new Ares moon rocket Thurs-
day, a milestone in a program
that has already spent $7 billion
for a rocket that astronauts may
never use.
When that frst stage is
tested, it will be mounted
horizontally. The engine will fre,
shake and make lots of noise.
But by design, it will not leave
the ground. The same could
be said for NASAs plans to go
to the moon, Mars or beyond
Earth orbit. Its not so much a
physical challenge for engineers
as it is a fnancial challenge for
budgeteers.
The $108 billion program to
return to the moon by 2020 was
started fve years ago by then-
President George W. Bush. But
a special independent panel
commissioned by President
Barack Obama concluded that
the plan cannot work on the ex-
isting budget schedule because
its likely to cost at least an extra
$30 billion through 2020.
Even NASAs soon-to-be-
retired space shuttle feet has
proved that getting of the
ground isnt a given, with two
launch scrubs this week of a
mission to the international
space station.
The space station is fnally
fnished. Yet NASAs long-stand-
ing plans call for junking the
outpost in about seven years. If
the agency keeps that schedule,
it would mean that in the next
decade NASAs astronauts could
be going nowhere if theres no
moon mission.
Obamas special panel looked
at other options available for
the space program such as
skipping the moon and going
directly to Mars or an asteroid,
or just cruising in the solar sys-
tem. But they kept using words
like least worst scenario during
their fnal public deliberations
earlier this month. In their
report due Monday, they will
also give advice about the end
of the shuttle and space station
programs.

FDIC to disclose troubling
numbers Thursday
NEW YORK The cofers of
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. have been so depleted by
the epidemic of collapsing f-
nancial institutions that analysts
warn it could sink into the red by
the end of this year.
That has happened only once
before during the savings-
and-loan crisis of the early 1990s,
when the FDIC was forced to bor-
row $15 billion from the Treasury
and repay it later with interest.
The government agency that
guarantees depositors against
the loss of their money in a bank
failure may need its own lifeline.
The FDIC on Thursday will
disclose how much is left in its
insurance fund, and update
the number of banks on its list
of troubled institutions. That
number shot up to 305 in the frst
quarter the highest since 1994
and up from 252 late last year.
FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair may
also use the quarterly briefng to
discuss how the agency plans to
shore up its accounts.
Small and midsize banks across
the country have been hurt by
rising loan defaults in the reces-
sion. When they fail, the FDIC
is responsible for making sure
depositors dont lose a cent.

A step faster
Jake Sharp is
Beecher:
repicture
the 2008
victory
By JAySON JeNKS
jjenks@kansan.com
Lets be clear from the start. This
is a story about speed.
Its a story about the doors it can
open and the places it can bring
you. Its that simple, but ...
... its far more complex than that.
Speed is one thing a natural trait
many are blessed with. But how do
you harness that speed? How do
you learn to run when for so long
youve simply been able to blow
past everyone?
Really, this is a story about a
small running back from Kansas
who learned how to mold his great-
est gift, a process that has taken him
from schoolboy legend to Big 12
starter. Marvin Diener was Sharps
coach at Salina Central High.
His explosive step on Friday
night is still an explosive step on
Saturday afternoon, Diener said.
When he can break loose and
when he has small seams, he still
has one of the greatest bursts that
youll see on any college field.
nnn
Theres never been a secret as
to what makes Sharp a successful
player. Not even a second guess
really. Ask Diener or Salina Central
assistant coach Rick ONeill, both
of whom witnessed Sharps cultiva-
tion during his youth.
Ask former offensive linemen
Ryan Cantrell and Adrian Mayes,
two guys who not only blocked
for Sharp, but also witnessed his
growth while at Kansas.
Ask current teammates Todd
Reesing and Kerry Meier, fellow
playmakers who arrived on campus
the same season Sharp did.
The key is and always has
been very simple.
He was a step faster than
everyone then and he has always
remained that way, Diener said.
His work ethic has always kept
him that way. He drove go-carts
fast. He drove four-wheelers fast
as a little guy. Theres no question
thats been his key element from the
very first.
Its important to understand
where Jake Sharp comes from, and
what, exactly, he accomplished dur-
ing his prep days.
Sharp developed into the name
to know in Kansas high school
sports his senior season at Salina
Central. He set a state record with
63 touchdowns. He rushed for
more than 6,000 career yards. And
generally, he did so without much
difficulty.
Sharps speed simply led him past
and around most defenders.
Hed be able to run from sideline
to sideline, reverse fields and be
able to get out of situations where
he was completely surrounded just
because he had that extra gear,
ONeill said.
Ive seen film on him, Cantrell
said. They threw him the ball or
got him the ball and he just took
off. He outran everybody.
Quickly Sharps name spread
throughout Kansas. And with that
success came added attention.
Rivals.com ranked Sharp as the best
prospect in the state.
People from all over took notice
of the little running back that could
flat out fly.
Theres a mix of opinion on how
he handled that, ONeill said. I
think that the gifted athletes have a
certain swagger about them. Those
that can back it up have a confi-
dence about them that they expel
to other people. He certainly had
that.
Not to raise any controversy but
I think there are two Jake Sharps:
The person that
can back up what-
ever he says hes
going to do, and
then there is real-
ly a fine young
man that always
has time to talk
to people on the
street or for people
back home.
Theres anoth-
er part of Sharp the average fan
doesnt get to see, a part that says
as much about the running back as
any clocked time.
Those who know him say Sharp
has always lived to a slightly differ-
ent tune. Heck, teammate Brandon
McAnderson once jokingly called
Sharp a weirdo. Its all part of his
persona and it all carries over to the
football field.
Hed show up on Fridays in his
lizard skin cowboy boots and a
silk button-down shirt with a belt
buckle that some guy made for him
with his last name on it, Cantrell
said. But you gotta be a little crazy
to play this game. And hes just
crazy enough to want to line up
back there and try to run into a
250-pound linebacker.
And Sharps just crazy enough
to think he can do so as a featured
back in the Big 12.
nnn
Back in Salina, when Sharp was
in high school, the diminutive run-
ning back could often be found
running sprints on the track, lifting
weights or stretching. Anything to
go the extra mile sometimes
literally.
There were times last sea-
son when Cantrell would sit at
his locker, ready to leave after
practice, only to be stopped
by questions from Sharp.
And it wasnt a one-
time occurrence. In the
offseason, Sharp lifted
with Meier during the
redundancy of the off-
s e a s o n ,
pr ovi di ng
the motiva-
tion needed for
each other to keep
going.
If Sharps speed
allowed him to reach
this level, his exces-
sive work ethic has
allowed him to prog-
ress.
Hes really the epitome of what
KU football is, Cantrell said. Hes
a blue-collar worker. He works his
ass off.
He was always working out,
always doing the little things to
make himself that much better,
ONeill said. Obviously he was a
gifted athlete but weve all seen a lot

n light of academic fraudu-
lence, the NCAA stripped
Memphis of wins, a trip to the
Final Four and of course, the
national championship game berth.
But, in doing so, the NCAA has
unintentionally disturbed the very
fabric of space-time, while simul-
taneously obliterating a memory
treasured by Jayhawk nation.
Oh sure, you think you remem-
ber something about a comeback.
Maybe Darrell Arthur hit a jump
shot or something. Perhaps some
guys for the other team who
was that, again? missed some
free throws. Sherron Collins maybe
barreled down the co urt, and fum-
bled the ball to Mario Chalmers. I
think Chalmers made the shot he
then proceeded to take. I seem to
recall seeing a picture of it some-
where. Now if that shot went in,
the game would have gone to over-
time. Kansas would likely go on to
dominate the extra period, and cut
down the nets. It all sounds so real,
almost like it actually happened.
But thats impossible, clearly.
How could any of that have taken
place if Kansas didnt actually play
anyone in the national champion-
ship game? Suddenly, a comeback
for the ages looks downright pitiful.
After all, what kind of champion-
ship squad needs overtime to beat
nobody? Although, now that I
think about it, the lack of opponent
does explain why no one fouled
Collins while he careened down
the court ...
Regardless, action must be
taken. Kansas 2008 national
championship cannot go down as
having been a literally one-sided
affair. Thats just embarrassing.
No, Kansas needs to have played
someone in that game. But if not
Memphis, then who?
North Carolina, in a rematch
for the ages? No, I dont think so.
If Roys choice of tie the first time
around was that atrocious, Id hate
to see what else he had in his ward-
robe. And really, dont you think
that Cole Aldrich scarred Tyler
Hansbroughs psyche enough in
one game? Poor Psycho T would
have to live up to his nickname in
a more literal sense if he had to
endure that kind of thrashing a sec-
ond time. No, North Carolinas out.
UCLA, the team Memphis
defeated in the false reality we
all think we remember, probably
makes the most sense. After all, if
Memphis didnt even advance to
the Final Four, they couldnt very
well have beaten anyone. UCLA/
Kansas would have provided some
interesting storylines too. The
Bruins did oust the Jayhawks in
the Elite Eight the previous year,
and both programs surely belong
among college basketballs elite.
But if the NCAA is wiping the
slate clean, I see no reason to settle
for such an unambitious choice.
How about the 1996/97 Chicago
Bulls? But theyre the most win-
ning team in NBA history, you say.
How could any college team stand
a chance against a prime Michael
Jordan? Trivial questions, really. We
already know that, no matter who
Kansas played or didnt play, they
won. That hasnt changed, nor will
it. So sorry M.J., looks like youre
about to come up on the wrong
end of an iconic top of the key
jumper. And hey, Mario didnt even
need to push off.

Boathouse and past success excite team for new season
By JORdAN WilliAmS
jwilliams@kansan.com
With a new boathouse, the KU
crew has seen a spike in interest in
the program.
Inquiries and e-mails from
interested students, which usually
number approximately 150 this
time of year, have tripled. The
boathouse allows for students a
place to regularly practice rowing
techniques.
The boathouses existence in
a region fairly unfamiliar to the
sport of rowing may be peculiar to
some, but the spectacular facility
will act as a boon for the club sport
for years to come.
The boathouse works as a great
allure, coach Jeremy Struemph
said. Its phenomenal,
The KU crew is not the same
team as rowing, which oper-
ates within the Kansas Athletics
Department and NCAA.
Since its recognition by the
University in 1977, crew has
worked diligently to set the stan-
dard for club sports excellence and
determination. One way of doing
this is to strongly encourage club
members to create and adhere to
an effective schedule.
For varsity members, the
5:30 morning practice should
be enough to coax out a bit of
responsibility and discipline. This
practice is necessary because it
takes skilled technique to correctly
generate power from the legs, the
trunk and the upper body and
arms in tandem.
Meticulous attention must be

A
ge is a funny thing in
sports.
It is funny because its
one of the few industries, except
grape juice commercials, in which
one is never too young to partici-
pate. That said, its definition of
old is wildly inconsistent with that
of the western world on the whole.
In the majority of major profes-
sional sports, an athlete is often
deemed ready to be put out to
pasture long before he or she is
even qualified for an AARP mem-
bership.
But when an athlete defies
this norm, the discussion gets a
little more interesting. His or her
involvement becomes a story
often one hell of a story. Such
is the case of the co-headliner
of Saturdays UFC 102, Randy
Couture.
Couture (16-9-0) is 46 years old.
Let that sink in for a second. Tom
Watson who played chicken
with our heart strings during
this summers British Open is
59. Much was made of Watsons
performance. It was one for the
books. Just think about this:
Watson was just 13 years old when
Couture was born.
One more perspective builder
for you: Couture, whose profession
leaves him bleeding (or at least,
quite bruised) after more competi-
tions than not, was a six-year-old
39 years before now-Minnesota
Vikings quarterback Brett Favre
would go public with his off-season
indecisiveness.
But we really dont need to look
outside Coutures sport to appreci-
ate that not only is he still fights at
a high level, but also is doing well
enough to be headlining his fifth
consecutive UFC pay-per-view
event. The man is four years away
from 50. Im sorry I just cant get
past that.
If you watched his last fight, a
second-round knockout loss to
Brock Lesnar held last November,
you might have noticed a few
extra signs of age worn by
Couture, but youd never guess
that the man who wrestled quite
competently against a 280-pound
behemoth was pushing 50.
With that in mind, that
Saturdays storyline becomes even
more interesting. See, Couture is
fighting a 33-year-old and yet hes
not the oldest man in the Octagon.
Follow me?
Coutures opponent will be
Antonio Rodrigo Noguiera (31-5-
1) who alongside Couture is
among the foremost heavyweights
in mixed martial arts history.
Hes a submission machine, win-
ning 20 of his 31 victories in that
fashion. And he came to the UFC
after a largely successful campaign
with Japans now-defunct Pride
Fighting Championship, going
13-3-1 while pitted against the top
heavyweights in the world.
Alas, the trait that kept
Noguiera afloat (his ability to take
a punch or 15) against competi-
tion such as Fedor Emelianenko,
Mirko Cro Cop and Ricco
Rodriguez may ultimately have
written an early conclusion to the
story of his career.
Noguiera was knocked out for
the first time in his career at the
hands of Frank Mir in his last fight
eight months ago. Mir appeared
light years ahead of Noguiera in
terms of boxing ability and overall
reflexes. Noguieras taxing battles
in Japan sent him over the hill
prematurely. And while mixed
martial arts rarely lends itself to
aged competitors statistically, a
physically-aged fighter compet-
ing at a high level is far more rare.
Couture-Noguiera is a fight long
overdue. But is it too late? Im
calling for a knockout by Couture
that will give the UFC its third
consecutive pay-per-view to leave
us with plenty to talk about.
One would assume follow-
ing the triple main event of UFC
100 and the sheer domination by
Anderson Silva and resurgence of
B.J. Penn at UFC 101 would have
been a near-impossible act to fol-
low. Truth is, UFC 102 could give
us not just one of the best MMA
stories but also one of the better
sports stories of the year.
HUMBUG A HIT
So after a few more spins of The
Arctic Monkeys recently-released
Humbug, I can confidently pro-
claim that its certifiable ear candy.
Even still, it leaves me with the
sense that itll continue to grow
on me later. As with its first two
releases, I advise you to seek this
album in its entirety. But in addi-
tion to the recommended tracks of
yesterdays Brew, I would seek My
Propeller and Secret Door fast.
Oh, and Fire And The Thud. Not
to mention...okay, well you get it.
While were on the subject of
music, Ill leave you with a quick
word of advice: Check out more
original soundtracks. I picked
up the Inglourious Basterds
soundtrack and its blend of David
Bowie, Ennio Morricone (com-
poser of The Good, The Bad
and The Ugly score) and blax-
ploitation funk to name a few
left me reliving the scenes that
corresponded with the eclectic
soundtrack all Tarantino films are
known for.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Snoozing
on the way to the ballpark, David
Huff was jolted by a crash. A car lost
control in the rain and slid into the
side of the bus, a startling wake-up
call for the Cleveland rookie.
Once Huff got to the field: crick-
ets, just as he likes it.
The left-hander threw six solid
innings Wednesday, bouncing back
from a bad outing and helping the
Indians to a 4-2 victory over the
Kansas City Royals.
All that buzz from Zack Greinkes
15-strikeout performance the night
before? Gone, thanks to whisper-
quiet stadium and a pitcher who
prefers groundouts to punchouts.
Im not going to go out and strike
out a bunch of guys, said Huff, 6-3
on the road. Im going to be the guy
who tries to get ground-ball outs,
a bunch of double plays. For me,
strikeouts are boring. I like a quick
ballgame. I like guys to ground out
in one pitch, two pitches.
Grady Sizemore reached base
four times after a day off, scor-
ing in the first, third and fifth
innings to put Cleveland up 3-2.
Jamey Carroll, Clevelands No. 2
hitter, had two of his three hits
on hit-and-runs to move Sizemore
around the bases and Matt LaPorta
hit his second homer of the season
off Luke Hochevar (6-7) to give
Huff all the support he needed.
Kerry Wood worked a per-
fect ninth for his 16th save in
21 chances, giving Cleveland its
eighth win in 12 series since the
All-Star break.
The Royals couldnt follow up
the excitement from Greinkes per-
formance the night before.
Kansas City scored two runs
in the first three innings off Huff
(8-7), but didnt get a runner past
second base after that. Billy Butler
had three hits for the Royals, who
have baseballs worst home record
(26-41) after losing five of six at
Kauffman Stadium.
Its a frustrating year, Royals
manager Trey Hillman said.
Losses are tough to let go of.
Most of the game was nonde-
script, as might be expected of two
teams with little left to play and a
crowd that hardly seemed there.
The Royals got a run in the first
inning on Mark Teahens sacrifice
fly, another in the third on a bloop
double by Miguel Olivo.
Asdrubal Cabrera had a run-
scoring fielders choice in the first
for Cleveland. Shin-Soo Choo
added some excitement with a run-
scoring double to left-center in the
third, a play that ended with Carroll
getting thrown out by three steps
at the plate. Sizemore scampered
home on a wild pitch in the fifth
and LaPorta homered in the sixth,
drawing cheers from a handful of
fans and not much else.
In between? Lots of lazy popups,
routine grounders, a few strikeouts,
the occasional grounder through
the infield. Boring? Maybe a little,
especially after what Greinke did
the night before, but it worked.
It was different, but its the big
leagues and you have handle any
atmosphere youre in, Wedge said.
It doesnt matter. You still have to
raise your level of play.
Huff started off his day with a
jolt, one of nine Indians players
on the bus when it was hit by a car
on the way to the stadium. No one
was hurt.
On the field, the lefty didnt let
the Royals get the barrel on too
many pitches, inducing plenty of
soft grounders and sleepy fly balls.
Huff allowed two runs and seven
hits after lasting just 3 1/3 innings
his last start.
It always helps when guys are
swinging at pitches, Huff said.
Its one of those things where you
throw something off-speed, they
think its fastball and hopefully
they just roll it over.
Hochevar had a second decent
outing on the heels of four shaky
ones, working through traffic to
allow three earned runs and seven
hits in 6 1/3 innings. The right-
hander lost his chance to end a six-
game winless streak with the wild
pitch Kansas Citys majors-lead-
ing 73rd that allowed Sizemore
to score and the slider LaPorta hit
out to put the Indians up 4-2.
That was a terrible pitch to
LaPorta, Hochevar said after
throwing a career-high 116 pitches.
I had him 0-2 with two outs in a
3-2 ballgame. That cant happen.
My thought process was right, but
it doesnt matter. What matters is
executing that pitch.
NOTES: Indians DH Travis
Hafner was given the day off to
rest his surgically repaired shoul-
der after four straight starts. ... RF
Jose Guillen (knee) will join the
Royals on their five-game road trip

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Louisville
coach Rick Pitino said Wednesday
a sex scandal involving a woman
accused of trying to extort mil-
lions from him has been pure
hell for his family, fuming that
newly released video of her police
interview revived her total fabri-
cation.
Pitino spoke at a hastily called
news conference hours after
Louisville police released audio
and video recordings of phone
calls and an interview with Karen
Cunagin Sypher, the woman at the
heart of the scandal. Pitino has told
police that he had sex with her six
years ago.
Sypher claims in the interview
that Pitino sexually assaulted her,
an allegation she brought to police
after she was accused of trying to
extort millions from the coach. She
has pleaded not guilty to federal
charges of extortion and lying to
the FBI.
The coach lashed out at the
media for again reporting on her
accusations by airing clips of the
interviews Wednesday. Prosecutors
did not pursue charges against the
coach.
Everything thats been printed,
everything thats been reported,
everything thats been breaking in
the news on the
day Ted Kennedy
died is 100 per-
cent a lie, a lie,
Pitino said. All
of this has been a
lie, a total fabrica-
tion of the truth.
The married
father of five,
whos a Roman
Catholic, said the
scandal has taken a heavy toll on
his wife and family.
It has been pure hell for her and
my family, he said.
I admitted to you I made a mis-
take, and believe me I will suffer for
that mistake, he added.
Pitinos remarks were his first
public statements since a five-
minute apology two weeks ago
for an indiscretion with Sypher
at a Louisville restaurant in 2003.
Sypher later told Pitino she was
pregnant, planned to have an abor-
tion but did not have medical
insurance. He told police he gave
her $3,000, money his
attorney Steve Pence
said was for insurance,
not an abortion.
Pitino didnt plan on
publicly addressing the
situation again, prefer-
ring to let the case go
to trial when he says
the truth will come
out. Pitino didnt dis-
cuss details of the case
at the news conference and said
that his lawyer had advised him
against speaking out at all.
Instead, he opted to come for-
ward on Wednesday after local
television aired portions of Syphers
interview.
Enoughs enough, everybody is
tired of it, Pitino said. We need
to get on with the important things
in life like the economy and really
some crucial things in life like bas-
ketball.
As his news conference was car-
ried live on television in Louisville,
at least one station split the screen
with Pitino talking the left, and
the police video of Sypher on the
right.
The video released under the
Kentucky Open Records Act shows
Sypher sitting across a table from
Louisville Police Sgt. Andy Abbott.
A full transcript of the interview
was released by police earlier this
month.
Sypher wasnt accompanied by
a lawyer at the time of the video-
taped interview. Syphers attorney,
James Earhart, said before Pitinos
remarks that the release of the
police video has no bearing on the
federal case.

SAN FRANCISCO An appeals
court ruled Wednesday that federal
agents were wrong to seize the infa-
mous drug list and samples of 104
Major League Baseball players who
allegedly tested positive for perfor-
mance-enhancing drugs in 2003.
In a 9-2 vote, the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals agreed with three
lower court judges who chastised
investigators who had a warrant
for only 10 drug test results as part
of the BALCO investigation into
Barry Bonds and others.
The panel said federal agents
trampled on players protections
against unreasonable searches and
seizures.
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski said
the players union had good rea-
son to want to keep the list under
wraps, citing leaks of players pur-
portedly on the list.
The risk to the players associ-
ated with disclosure, and with that
the ability of the Players Association
to obtain voluntary compliance
with drug testing from its mem-
bers in the future, is very high, the
judge wrote. Indeed, some players
appear to have already suffered this
very harm as a result of the govern-
ments seizure.
Yankees star Alex Rodriguez
and Red Sox slugger David Ortiz
both have acknowledged being on
the list, and The New York Times
has reported the Dodgers Manny
Ramirez and Sammy Sosa also
could be found on it.
Said Atlanta star Chipper Jones:
It doesnt matter now. The names
are already out there in the general
public. Weve already got a number
out there. Its not going to be over
until its all out there.
The government seized the sam-
ples and records in April 2004.
The list of 104 players said to have
tested positive, attached to a grand
jury subpoena, has been part of
a five-year legal fight, with the
players union trying to force the
government to return what federal
agents took during raids.
This was an obvious case of
deliberate overreaching by the gov-
ernment in an effort to seize data as
to which it lacked probable cause,
Kozinski wrote.
He said the case was a significant
test of the governments search and
seizure powers in the digital age,
and issued guidelines for investiga-
tors to follow in future raids that
included submitting computers to
independent computer experts for
sorting of data.
U.S. attorney spokesman Jack
Gillund in San Francisco said the
government was reviewing its
options, which could include an
appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Broncos add
Martin to roster
associaTed Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. With
backup Chris Simms hobbled
by an ankle injury, the Denver
Broncos moved to bolster their
depth at quarterback Wednesday
by signing free agent Ingle
Martin.
Simms suffered a high ankle
sprain when Seahawks pass
rusher Nick Reed fell on his left
ankle during the third quarter of
Saturdays 27-13 loss at Seattle,
and the Broncos have not said
how long Simms is expected to
be sidelined.
The loss of Simms left start-
er Kyle Orton and rookie Tom
Brandstater as the only healthy
quarterbacks on the Broncos ros-
ter.
Under our current situation,
with only two quarterbacks that
can come out and practice, it
felt like it was better for us to do
that (add Martin), coach Josh
McDaniels said. Hes got good
size, a decent arm. Hes a smart
kid. Hes a guy that we felt like
could come in and help us com-
pete right now and see what hap-
pens.
Martin joined the Broncos in
time to take part in Wednesdays
practice, though he went through
the workout in a numberless
orange quarterbacks jersey.
Hopefully, the equipment
guys will hook me up tomorrow,
Martin said with a smile.
The Broncos are the fourth
NFL team for Martin, who was
released earlier this month by the
Kansas City Chiefs after splitting
time last season between their
active roster and practice squad.
Martin came into the league in
2006 as a fifth-round draft choice
of the Green Bay Packers.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Tennessee
freshman tailback Bryce Brown
will not be punished as the result
of an NCAA investigation into his
eligibility, coach Lane Kiffin said
Wednesday. I think that thats a
heck of a deal by the NCAA to get
it done right and get it done with
a sense of urgency, so were very
grateful for that, Kiffin said.
The NCAA was reviewing
whether money was improperly
raised for Brown to visit colleges
and collegiate football camps dur-
ing his sophomore year of high
school.
Kiffin said the NCAA initially
considered a four-game suspen-
sion and a hefty fine as punish-
ment. After continued review,
however, it dropped the case.
The coach said he spoke with
NCAA officials and Brown wrote
a letter to the organization arguing
his case.
People or towns assist play-
ers as they grow up, Kiffin said.
Thats something that goes on a
lot, and Im sure that weighed into
it. But by no means was it some-
thing Bryce was doing knowing
that it would be wrong.
Brown was recruited out of
Wichita as one of the top high
school prospects in 2009, and com-
mitted to the Volunteers after let-
ting a scholarship offer from Miami
expire. Hes spent significant time
playing with the Vols first team
offense during fall camp, and Kiffin
has repeatedly praised his progress.
Kiffin had considered limit-
ing Browns practice time in case
he was suspended but chose not
to because he was so confident
Brown would be cleared. I really
believed that they were going to
get this right, Kiffin said.
I really spent time explain-
ing who this kid is and what hes
about. Obviously this is not a kid
that should be punished for some-
thing like this.

Carriker back to practice

ST. LOUIS St. Louis Rams
defensive tackle Adam Carriker
is back at practice after an ankle
injury, but the 2007 No. 1 pick
is working with the third-string
defense, at least for now.
Coach Steve Spagnuolo
said Carriker, the 13th overall
selection in 2007, may play in
Thursdays preseason game at
Cincinnati, but his starting job is
not guaranteed.
I think Adam will have his
work cut out for him, but hes a
good football player, Spagnuolo
said. Everybody has to earn jobs
right now.
The Rams open the regular

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Chase
Elliotts favorite toy as a young
boy was his Matchbox race car.
He didnt crash it into walls or
run it off tables.
No, he turned that little car in
circles.
Now Elliott is doing that with
much bigger cars, even though
at 13 hes still three years away
from legally driving on public
roads. Call it the family business,
genes or just fate. All the son
of NASCAR legend Bill Elliott
knows is that he has dreamed
of racing in NASCAR just like
his father since playing with that
little toy.
Ive never really found any
other passion for anything,
Chase Elliott said. Racings been
pretty much my dream since I
was little.
Though he wasnt around in
1988 when his father won the
Winston Cup
championship, as
Sprint Cup was
then known, Elliott
has been going to
racetracks since he
was a baby and has
seen plenty of his
fathers 804 starts
on NASCARs top
level and a few of
the 44 wins by the
Motorsports Hall of Famer.
Its why Elliott started racing
dirt bikes and go-karts around
the yard as soon as he was big
enough to hold the handles and
put his foot down.
When he wanted to start
competing, he went to his father.
Its totally up to him, Bill
Elliott said. Im not pushing
him to do it. Its his decision,
and when he started wanting to
drive, I said, Thats between you
and your mother. You talk your
mother into it, and then well
make it work.
Chase Elliott was 8 when he
started racing go-karts. During
his first season, in 2006, he won
the state title in one division
and was third in a level against
older children. He won six races
in 2007. He also moved into the
Legends Racing Series and was
rookie of the year at the Atlanta
Motor Speedway. He won the
2008 Georgia State Championship
for the semipro division. In the
2008-09 winter series, he won six
races and finished second three
times in taking the Winter Flurry
Series and Georgia Winter Series
titles.
In 2009, Elliott began against
older drivers. He has had three
wins, one on Aug.
10 at Anderson,
S.C., where he
became the young-
est winner in the
history of the ASA
Southeast Asphalt
Tour.
Weve been
pretty fortunate
with the luck
weve had so far,
Elliott said.
He cant even count how many
races hes already run with 20
starts this year alone.
Elliott has raced in Georgia,
Alabama, Florida, South Carolina
and was at the Fairgrounds
Speedway in Nashville last
weekend, finishing eighth in a
Champions Racing Association
event in which he passed Kyle
Busch and did something the
NASCAR star couldnt run all
150 laps.
The advantages of having
grown up in the sport are obvi-
ous. But being 13 has its chal-
lenges.
He cant drive on NASCAR-
sanctioned tracks because of an
age limit requiring drivers to be
at least 16.
Thatll definitely open up
some more doors as far as what
I can drive. Hopefully, when Im
16 I can move up to something
bigger and get to that next step.
Right now, all I really can do is
run late models. I think thats
plenty for right now.
His dream to compete on
NASCARs top series isnt pos-
sible until he turns 18 when
he also will be trying to decide
whether college is next.
I still have about five years
before we make that decision,
Elliott said.
Chase Elliott follows in his fathers footsteps
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chase Elliott, right, son of Brickyard 400 champion Bill Elliott, is following proud
papas footsteps. Hes been racing go-karts since he was 8.

Soccer team relies on young players
sports 5b THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 2009
FRESHMAN FORWARD
OUT FOR SEASON
Freshman forward Amy Grow
succumbed to an injury in the
preseason that will end her season.
Coach Mark Francis declined to
comment further on the injury,
but admitted it was a definite blow
to the team.
Francis said she was starting in
the preseason before the injury.
She will be back, Francis said.
But she is out for the season,
which is a great disappointment
for our team.
Grow would have, at the least,
provided depth for senior Shannon
McCabe and sophomore Emily
Cressy. At the most, she might
have started alongside them using
last years 4-3-3 formation.
Grow is from Edmond, Okla.
She was named a High School
Girls Soccer Player of the Week
by ESPN in May of her senior
season.
SENIOR GOALIE
FAILED PRESEASON
FITNESS TEST
Senior goalkeeper Julie Hanley
just passed a mandatory fitness
test that will allow her to compete
in games. She failed two preseason
tests.
Francis admitted that her inabil-
ity to pass the fitness test was a
factor in his decision to start fresh-
man Kat Liebetrau.
Shes proven to be the most
consistent goalkeeper at this point
in the season, Francis said.
Senior defender Estelle Johnson
said that the fitness tests entail a lot
of different activities, but all have
to do with running. One example
is a beep test, where players must
sprint 22 yards before an electron-
ic beep sounds. The time between
beeps gets shorter and shorter, and
the players must make a certain
level to pass.

KANSAS RELyING ON
DOLINSKy FOR
MIDFIELD LEADERSHIP
Kansas young midfield will have
to gain confidence quickly to help
the team achieve its goal of win-
ning the Big 12 Championship this
year. Coach Mark Francis is look-
ing to senior midfielder Monica
Dolinsky to provide leadership for
the midfield, which is starting two
freshmen: Shelby Williamson and
Whitney Berry.
Theyre a bit inexperienced, so
I think she (Dolinsky) is going to
take on the role of organizer on the
field, said Francis. I think shes
done a good job of that so far.
Francis would like Dolinsky to
concentrate less on organization
and more on scoring goals, how-
ever. Dolinsky was the teams co-
leader in goals scored last year
with nine.
In Sundays game, she wasnt as
offensive as we would like her to
be, Francis said. We expect her
to get in and around the penalty
area, and she didnt do a whole lot
of that on Sunday.
At Drake, I was deeper than I
was supposed to and we addressed
that in practice, Dolinsky said. I
have confidence in my teammates
that I can go up and theyll have
my back on defense.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. No mat-
ter what players think of the golf
course, Liberty National gets uni-
versal praise for its intimate view
of the Manhattan skyline and the
Statue of Liberty, so close to the
shore she looks as if she could tend
a flag on the green.
Equally impressive is the view
of Tiger Woods suited up for the
opening of the PGA Tour Playoffs.
Woods has not played The
Barclays in six years, and this will
be the first time he competes in all
four of the playoff events for the
FedEx Cup. At a time when PGA
Tour commissioner Tim Finchem
is asking players to do more for
sponsors in a tough economy, the
worlds No. 1 player is pulling his
weight.
Tiger Woods playing is really
good, Geoff Ogilvy said. Hes
been very good for golf lately, not
just because of the TV ratings, but
hes playing a lot more. Our tour is
always better when hes here. Golf is
getting spoiled.
Golf went eight months with-
out Woods as he recovered from
knee surgery. Now it cant get rid
of him.
The Barclays, which gets under
way Thursday, is part of a nine-
week stretch in which Woods will
be playing seven times. He hasnt
played that much in such a short
period since the end of the 2006
season, when he missed nine weeks
because of his fathers death.
Asked why he was playing this
year, Woods replied, I qualified.
That he did, winning five times
in 13 starts to be the top seed
among 125 players who qualified
for this $65 million bonanza at the
end of the year a $7.5 million
purse at each of the four events,
with $35 million in bonus money
for the FedEx Cup.
The points system has been
tweaked to put more emphasis on
the eight months that comprise the
regular season, with quintuple the
value of points during the playoff
events, then a reset of the points
that allows for a shootout at the
Tour Championship for the $10
million prize.
Woods could have skipped The
Barclays and won the FedEx Cup,
as he did in 2007. He learned
Wednesday that it was possible for
him to win the next three tourna-
ments, finish second at the Tour
Championship and not capture
the FedEx Cup. Or that someone
could win the big prize without
having won a single tournament
this year.
It is different, theres no doubt,
he said. But then again, this is
what were playing for. This is our
opportunity to play well. You play
well at the right time, you should
be all right.
Whether the system works to
everyones satisfaction this year,
the playoffs is off to a solid start,
mainly because Woods is playing.

Serena gets second seed

Williams has won three of the

championships and 11 overall,

She will be seeking her fourth

NFL
Vick to return to the
football feld tonight
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009, fle photo, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael
Vick throws during NFL football practice at teams practice facility in Philadelphia. Vick will
make his preseason debut for the Philadelphia Eagles tonight.
By roB MaaDDi
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA Michael
Vick will start his day in bank-
ruptcy court and end it on a foot-
ball field.
All day, all eyes will be on No. 7.
Vick is scheduled to play his
first NFL game since his release
from prison when the Philadelphia
Eagles host the Jacksonville Jaguars
in a preseason matchup tonight.
Itll be Vicks first official
appearance in a game since Dec.
31, 2006, with the Atlanta Falcons.
He also played that one at Lincoln
Financial Field against the Eagles.
This time, there likely will be
protesters outside the stadium.
Inside, there probably will be
plenty of boos.
Donovan McNabb, Brian
Westbrook, the rest of the Eagles
and all the Jaguars are merely a
subplot in an otherwise meaning-
less game. Vicks much-anticipated
return is the talk of the town.
Vick has dominated headlines
since the Eagles signed the three-
time Pro Bowl quarterback two
weeks ago, giving him a one-year,
$1.6 million contract with a team
option for $5.2 million in 2010.
Just last month, Vicks future
was uncertain. He was released
from federal custody July 20 after
serving 18 months of a 23-month
sentence for his role in financing
and participating in a major dog-
fighting operation.
Many NFL teams said they
werent interested in Vick, and it
appeared he might have to settle
for playing in the fledgling United
Football League.
But the Eagles, with McNabbs
blessing, gave Vick a chance, hop-
ing he can be the final piece to help
them win that elusive first Super
Bowl. Exactly what Vicks role will
be is the biggest question, however.
McNabb is the clear-cut starter,
but the Eagles didnt bring in Vick
to carry a clipboard. His skills are
perfectly suited to run the wildcat
offense, and its likely hell fill that
role.
Coach Andy Reid has kept his
plans secret, but said he wont be
reluctant to use Vick in a wildcat
formation against the Jaguars.
McNabb and the first-team
offense are slated to play three
quarters against the Jags, and
backup QB Kevin Kolb is penciled
in for the fourth quarter. So Vick
could share reps with McNabb and
the two may even be on the field
together in certain situations.
of those come and go that didnt
really materialize.
Former teammates and coaches
said, in Sharps eyes, the lifting and
extra time never served as a burden.
In fact, they said that Sharp actually
enjoyed the workouts something
Diener and ONeill noticed at an
early age.
True, Sharps speed allowed him
the chance to see the field as a true
freshman. But his self-motivated
work ethic and his desire to
improve allowed Sharp to con-
tinue excelling.
And its a good thing. From early
on, Sharp had to learn and under-
stand a somewhat foreign concept:
patience.
Its no big secret that we base
everything off a simple zone play,
Cantrell said, describing when the
quarterback hands off to the run-
ning back from the shotgun. Thats
our bread and butter really.
To have a proper zone play work,
you need timing for the leverages to
show themselves and timing for the
linemen to hit their assignment ... he
would take his first step and then hed
go right now.
I just want to go; I want to go all
the time, Sharp said. Letting things
develop and being patient in the hole
is definitely something weve had to
work on here with me.
nnn
Sometimes Cantrell noticed it,
but hes quick to point out that
it wasnt obvious.
Occasionally it
would come up in
conversation dur-
ing one-on-one
talks. And thats
about the only
time it surfaced.
Early last sea-
son, with the
Kansas running
game struggling
to consistently
move the ball,
Sharp shuffled in
and out of the lineup with senior
Angus Quigley and former team-
mate Jocques Crawford.
At one point during Kansas non-
conference schedule, coach Mark
Mangino called Sharp a compli-
mentary back. Against South
Florida, Sharp carried the ball five
times for 11 yards.
Throughout a year, youre going
to be frustrated 150 times and
youre going to figure out a new way
to calm yourself down 150 times,
Cantrell said. Being frustrated is
all part of the game.
If he wouldnt have
been frustrated with
it, you would have
known something
was wrong.
You need to get
frustrated to see what
youre made of.
Then, against Iowa
State in the Big 12
opener, Sharp kick-
started a stale offense
with a 67-yard catch
and run that ignited
the biggest comeback in Kansas
football since 1992.
Sharp remained the primary back
for the rest of the season. He rushed
for 860 yards and 12 touchdowns.
We like to think were 50-50
or maybe throw a little more than
we run, Reesing said. But any-
one who has ever run the spread
or knows how it
works knows that
you cant throw
the ball if you
cant run it. Jakes
a big key to this
offense. Theres a
lot of pressure on
his shoulders but
I think hes up to
the task.
Sharp enters this season as the
unquestioned featured back. Theres
little doubt about that.
But what raises a question is
whether or not Sharps 5-foot-10,
190-pound frame can handle the
workload? Perhaps, then, its best to
hear from those who know Sharp
well.
Jake Sharp, hes a beast, Mayes
said. I think he can definitely carry
the load if he has to.
I absolutely think he can be a
featured back, Diener said. As far
as durability, theres no question
that at the end of last
season Jake was beat
up. But you dont ever
see Jake get a real big
shot.
His lack of size
he makes up with the
amount of heart he
has, Meier said. Hes
going to give you
everything hes got
and hes going to work until he cant
work no more. I definitely think
that Jake is going to do some big
things this year.
