Lawyer gives account of hurricane

By MaLinda osBorne

Kansan staff writer

mosborne@kansan.com
Rick Jones is a man with a mission: to tell people about the real stories behind Hurricane Katrina. Jones, a criminal lawyer, is traveling the country to speak about the time he spent volunteering to help refugees in Houston and Dallas in the aftermath of the hurricane. He came Tuesday night to the Multicultural Resource Center to speak about his experience. The Vietnamese Student Association, Black Student Union, AsianAmerican Student Association and Hispanic American Leadership Organization jointly sponsored Underrepresented Populations

and the Law after Hurricane Katrina. Jones spoke on the detrimental effects caused by government bureaucracy to hurricane victims and the untold story of Asian Americans living along the Gulf Coast. He also emphasized that action, not blame, should be the long-term focus in the aftermath. Theres enough blame to go around, but really a lot of situations are not anyones fault, Jones said. Right now, we need to focus on solutions. Jones told stories of seeing thousands of people who had nothing to eat and were wearing the same clothes for days. Trucks arrived with supplies but were turned away at the Astrodome because the local government had to approve the donations first. He said if it were not for local churches and community organizations, many would have continued to go without basic necessities.

People were ready to kill each other over food, and the FEMA people were tripping over their own feet, he said. Jones said another problem he noticed was the neglected AsianAmerican population along the Gulf Coast region, which he estimated at about 35,000 to 40,000. He said language barriers and cultural incompetency among aid organizations plagued this demographic the most in the wake of the storm. Suong Nguyen, Wichita senior and president of VSA, said she thought the speech was educational. I was surprised to know that there was such a large population but no attention was paid by the media, she said. In addition, Jones said he worried about those who lost their jobs because of the loss of casinos in Biloxi, Miss.

Senators face suspension for not attending meetings

By John Jordan

Kansan staff writer

Student Senate suspended three out of 14 senators cited for missing meetings. The suspended senators were Cole Smart, John Connor and Mike Barry, all Colleges of Liberal Arts and Science representatives. Senate granted appeals to the other 11 senators. The suspended senators could appeal again by today,

but if they dont, they will be suspended for the remainder of the year and Senate will place ads for replacements on Monday. Jason Boots, chairman of the committee that reviewed the suspended senators, said there has been a closer watch on absences this semester than there had been in the past. The Plano, Texas, senior said this led to the high number of people getting suspensions. Nolan Jones, Pittsburg junior and Senate communications director, said whenever senators missed two meetings with unexcused absences, they had to go before the Student Executive Committee to explain missed meetings.

The Graduate Record Exam, the graduate school entrance exam akin to the undergraduate SAT and ACT tests, will be overhauled and lengthened to better reflect skills learned in college, as of next October. The GRE General Test, taken by 500,000 people worldwide each year, will be lengthened from two and a half hours to four, and each of its three sections verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning and analytical writing will be revamped. Michael Mosser, assistant dean of the Graduate School and international programs, welcomed the change. He said the GRE, in its current form, mainly

measured a students ability to take tests, a common criticism of standardized tests. The new test will do a better job of gauging what students learn in college, he said. The whole point is to make it more reflective of the real world, he said. The new test will include more reading passages instead of analogies, real-life scenario quantitative questions instead of geometry, and a reduced reliance on memorized materials. Alan Dibos, a Lenexa senior who took the GRE on Saturday, compared the test to the SAT in stressing memorization rather than content-based questions. When you get to college you work on critical thinking and detailed reasoning problems, Dibos, a physics major, said. College is supposed to get you to think criti-

Verbal Reasoning: F Two 40-minute sections instead of one 30-minute section F Wider selection of reading passages F Less dependence on vocabulary

Quantitative Reasoning: F Two 40-minute sections instead of one 45-minute section F More real-life scenarios and data interpretation questions F Fewer geometry questions F On-screen, four-function calculator will be used during test Analytical Writing: F 15 minutes shorter F 30-minute argument and issue section F More focused questions

cally, and I dont think thats a main concern on the exam. The Educational Testing Service, which writes and administers the test, is also making changes to how the test is administered because of past cheating. Under the current format, test questions are re-used, giving students the opportunity to memorize questions and pass them along to other students. In 2002, students in China, Tai-

wan and South Korea were caught for cheating on the test. Starting next October, individual versions of the test will be administered on 29 set dates worldwide. The version used on each testing date will not be repeated. At the University, the test is required for many graduate programs. Individual programs determine whether they require the test.

Residents move Hashinger spirit to McCollum Hall

Renovations continued behind Hashinger Hall yesterday. While the hall has closed for the year, housing employees have created a Home Away from Hash floor in McCollum Hall to replicate the ambiance of Hashinger. Todays weather

Julie Bayliff enjoys the performing arts and wanted to be around that environment her freshman year. But with Hashinger Hall closed this year, she decided to find the comfort and environment of Hashinger in McCollum Halls Home Away From Hash. Home Away From Hash, located on the second and third floors of McCollum, combines former residents from Hashinger with freshmen who enjoy the performing arts to provide an artistic and welcoming atmosphere. Its a lot more colorful, said Bayliff, Lenexa freshman. Everyone is so creative. Residents of Home Away From Hash are trying to transplant the atmosphere and traditions from Hashinger into McCollum. The group has carried

on with Hashinger traditions such as Open Mic Night, Elevator Music and next weeks Hash-O-Ween. Steve Rold, Elk Horn, Iowa, senior, said residents from Hashinger had a strong sense of pride toward the hall. He said that Home Away From Hash provided a rally point for those who wanted to live around the same people. Nick Tevebaugh, Lenexa freshman, lived in Hashinger last semester and wanted to stay around the Hashinger environment. He said there was a difference in community atmosphere, as Home Away from Hash floors residents kept their doors open. He said residents of Home Away from Hash go to dinner as a group and hang out together, with activities such as grade-school night, when residents colored pictures and ate snacks. Ian McCloud, Newton sopho-

definitely not Hash, but at least we have some guys from old Hash to keep the traditions. Ian McCloud
Newton sophomore more, said he tried to explain to the freshmen of Home Away From Hashinger the atmosphere and traditions at Hashinger Hall, because they cant experience it first-hand until next year. Its definitely not Hash, but at least we have some guys from old Hash to keep the traditions, he said. He said that what he missed most was the porch outside Hashinger where he and his friends would play music. The Hashinger group is making plans for its annual one-act play, but finding space is difficult, Bayliff said.

The Chinese government is willing to put money into it and the University would have to put effort into it as far as room and space, Weinberg said. Along with language instruction, the institute could also provide a headquarters for delegations to and from China, he said. Two Confucius Institutes have been opened at the University of Maryland and in Chicago. China plans to open 100 Confucius Institutes worldwide by 2010 to increase trade and tourism and to encourage a better understanding of Chinese language and culture. The signing of the memorandum was one of many activities in which Shulenburger was engaged. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius led the delegation of about 50 Kansas officials. Discussions began last sum-

Reservations Coordinator, Kansas Union

What are some of the most common types of events that are held at the Union? What happens in the evening are mostly student groups. They have class all day, so the weekly meetings are at night. Chapter meetings, Student Senate, religious groups, special SUA events, movies, concerts. The Hawks Nest has comedians and poetry slams. Campus Christians does Sundays. The ballroom is used for ballroom dancing or concerts, banquets, chancellors club. During the day its a lot of faculty and staff meetings, departmental meetings, and a lot on a weekly basis. Alcoves are used for lunches, conferences that get fit in. Its a lot to juggle. What should students do to make their booking process run more smoothly? Just basically what do they want to do, how many people, what time, is this a free event, a club, a fraternity that wants to meet on a weekly basis, or philanthropy projects or comedy shows, just answering questions. We have a form with prompts on it. We dont want to overcrowd a room. Hopefully we want to try to get this all online at the unions Web site, www.union. ku.edu, where you can find any event and schedule things What is your favorite KU tradition? Theres a lot. I just went to Late Night, and that has evolved so much. But clearly its graduation. Its so unique, coming down the hill; its just a celebration, parents, family, just a very festive time. Edited by Alison Peterson

How long have you been at the Union? Since 1969. Whats a typical day like for you? Well its pretty busy. The phone rings, people come in, just answer questions for what people want as far as their needs for rooms, whether its a one-time meeting or a change in plans for something thats already been set, setting up major conferences. People from SUA may stop by for updates for their Star Wars laser tag event thats coming up, things like that. What is the oddest or most interesting event that you have booked at the University? Theres so many of them. We had all-star wrestling in here. That was because the students wanted the Chicago Knockers mud wrestling squad, so we got all-star wrestling. We may have to come back to this one. We showed this movie Hail Mary, and that was controversial. A lot of Catholics opposed its version, and so there were stink bombs thrown here. The next day the rotten egg smell was still here, and it took about six months to get it out. What are some of the largest groups that have been at the Union? Well, several years ago the biggest group was probably the Special Olympics meet. All the Special Olympics groups would have their fall event and then have their awards banquet, and that pretty much filled up the entire fifth floor. That was around 1,200 some people. Our largest room is the ballroom that fits 1,000 people. Other big events are the regular New Student Orientation, weddings. NCAA Cross Country Championships have their banquet here. Were set up to take care of the students.

Provost David Shulenburger signed a memorandum Monday in Beijing to explore establishing a Confucius Institute on the Edwards campus that could give students an edge on the Chinese language. Jeff Weinberg, assistant to the chancellor, said the Confucius Institute would primarily sponsor kindergarten through 12th grade Chinese language instruction, which could help University students in the long term. To begin a language at that level is important, Weinberg said. The agreement was signed by Shulenburger and Ma Jianfei of the National Office of Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, representing the Ministry of Education. The University hopes to complete the agreement on Nov. 14

Tsutsui , associate professor of history and director for the Kansas Consortium for Teaching about Asia said the group would be working closely with the Confucius Institute. Tsutsui said the institute would help existing teachers teach Chinese language, recruit new Chinese language teachers and get more schools to teach Chinese. The Chinese government realizes how difficult the language is and wants to help, he said.

The future is all about China, Tsutsui said. Our kids are going to have to be prepared for Chinas impact on the global economy. The Confucius Institute would also work with East Asian Studies at the University to sponsor cultural events, Tsutsui said.

Students can Explore Evolution

By traviS roBinett

trobinett@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer

The new Explore Evolution exhibit at the KU Natural History Museum will inform the public about what evolution is, what drives it and why it is basic to science education. The exhibit will present evolution as the most unifying principle in evolutionary biology by covering an broad scope of topics, from HIV, single-celled organisms and flies to finches, whales, chimpanzees and humans. Leonard Krishtalka, director of the museum since 1995, said, you cant just take evolution and put it in a box separate from all other science. Once you start questioning evolution, you are questioning all of science. But, he added that the exhibit is not a direct response to Kansas science education policies. I will say, however, that the opening of the exhibit is timely, Krishtalka said. Its always nice when an exhibit is opening at a time when its a hot topic of conversation. Funded by a $2.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the exhibit is the result of four years of planning among six natural history museums, the others being at the University of Michigan, University of Min-

nesota, University of Nebraska, University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas. Krishtalka said evolution should not be, and was not, in conflict with anyones personal beliefs evolution might be an uncomfortable piece of knowledge, but without evolution the diversity of life would not be understood. He said many people thought humans could only be special if they were specially created. The fact that we share history with all life is humbling, he said. But we are special, because we are

the only species who knows about our evolutionary history. Bruce Sherting, director of exhibits, said evolutions story was a lot to tell and a challenge to get across. He said the University came in as a participant with Judy Diamond, associate director of the University of Nebraska State Museum, who did most of the research. He said as the exhibit developed, those involved at the University would give feedback and Diamond would continue to work on it. The space for the exhibit was

renovated about two and a half years ago. Sherting said the space wasnt useful before, but now the room has narrow exhibit cases lit by florescent lighting so it feels roomier. Teresa MacDonald, director of education at the museum, said the exhibit offered educational programs for a more in-depth tour. Explore Evolution will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Edited by Becca Evanhoe

Professor receives grant for cancer research

A University of Kansas professor of medicinal chemistry, Gunda Georg, has received a grant that will allow her to work with faculty across Kansas and support research for cancer. The five-year, $10.4 million federal grant from the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence, will develop cancer research among junior faculty members. Georg was previously awarded a similar grant in 2000 that ended this summer. Georg said the National Institute of Health renewed the previous grant. We are able to provide research tools that other places dont have, providing a competitive advantage, she said. She said the grant was also a step toward becoming a National Cancer Institute Designated Cancer Center at the University of Kansas Medical Center, a prestigious designation that the University aims for.

Marijuana fines, sentences up for review in Lawrence

The Lawrence City Commission got its first glimpse of an ordinance banning the possession of marijuana and paraphernaliaTuesday night. Scott Miller, staff attorney, wrote the ordinance, borrowing almost all the language from the state statutes on marijuana law. In his presentation, staff attorney Scott Miller said the ordinance could only illegalize marijuana and paraphernalia possession as a misdemeanor, but the punishment, a felony with a fine up to $2,500 and a maximum of one year in jail, would be exactly the same as it is in district court. The ordinance requires violators to attend a Safety Action Program class, which is what a first-time DUI offender or minor in possession of alcohol offender must do. A judge would have the opportunity to sentence additional treatment in each offense. Miller said offenders would face a $400

court cost if a conviction occurred, and that commissioners could add a minimum fine to the ordinance if they wanted. Commissioners Dennis Boog Highberger, Mike Rundle and Sue Hack did not agree with setting a minimum fine. Commissioner Mike Amyx recommended a $300 fine that Commissioner David Schauner said was too steep. Schauner recommended a $50 fine. I dont want to make it such a financial burden on people, Schauner said. Commissioner Sue Hack said the case load should be monitored to find out what the impact would be on the city prosecutors office. If it became cost prohibitive, then changes to the ordinance should be made. Laura Green, executive director of the Drug Policy Forum of Kansas, supported the ordinance, but encouraged the commissioners to take a look at the Safety Action Program content so it would be crime specific. Miller said the ordinance would be placed on the consent agenda at the Nov. 8 City Commission meeting, with additional information about the classes.

Former KU football star to lead homecoming parade

Curtis McClinton, former University of Kansas star running back and Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame member, will be the grand marshal of Saturdays KU homecoming parade, the homecoming steering committee announced Tuesday.

He was named the American Football League Rookie of the year in 1962 and finished his career with the Chiefs Super Bowl victory against the Minnesota Vikings in 1970. Since retiring from football, McClinton has dedicated himself to bettering the community.

Melodie Woerman
Director of communications for the diocese used permanently. Its probably a little far from campus for us for a permanent location, Norris said. LaDonna Atchinson, Trinity Lutheran Church parish administrator, said Bethany House had been vacant since September. Initially, the church had planned to house hurricane evacuees but after getting no response from local aid organizations, it was informed of the LCMs situation and offered the location for temporary residence. Atchinson said LCM would most likely pay a user fee instead of rent. This covers the cost of utilities and maintenance. Melodie Woerman, director of communications for the diocese, said that the diocese planned to change its method of campus ministry in order to reach more students. Previously, there was one chaplain assigned to the University of Kansas and one assigned to Kansas State University. Woerman said this ignored the Episcopalians at Wichita State University, Pittsburgh State University, Washburn University and Emporia State University, as well as community colleges. In the future, the diocese will have one or two chaplains assigned to all the schools in the region, she said. The diocese will train college students to act as peer ministers and try to incorporate local churches with campus ministries by gearing some services to students. Woerman said that later and less formal services would attract students to local church activities. Woerman said that college years were formative and the diocese needed to reach more students. This is a time of great exploration, and we would just like to be able to be there for kids, and more kids in more places, she said. Allyson Bedford, Tulsa, Okla., senior, was actively involved in LCM as an Episcopalian. She said she chose to worship with LCM because she felt welcome there. She said the break in partnership with the diocese would probably not have a large effect, and Episcopalians would continue to worship with the Lutherans. With this particular group I dont think its going to change a lot, Bedford said. Kevin Boatright, a board member and secretary for LCM, said there were no hard feelings and that the partnership had been good for everyone involved. Weve had 10 very enjoyable years here together, Boatright said. Edited by Kellis Robinett

After 10 years of partnership, the Lutheran Campus Ministry at the University of Kansas and the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas are going their separate ways. LCM held its final worship service at Canterbury House, 1116 Louisiana St., Sunday night, followed by a procession down the hill to the new location at Bethany House, 18 E. 13th St. The LCM will now conduct all of its services, beginning this Sunday, at the new location until a permanent residence is found. In January, the diocese announced plans to change its approach to campus ministry. Instead of one chaplain assigned to the University of Kansas, the chaplain will work with other Kansas campuses as well. The chaplains function will be to train peer ministers for the campus organizations, said James Upton, Episcopal archdeacon for southern Kansas. The Lutheran Campus Ministry was located in Canterbury House, which is owned by the diocese. LCM paid rent to house students and conduct worship services. The diocese plans to renovate the house, and as a result the LCM is moving to Bethany House, which is owned by Trinity Lutheran Church.

OLATHE Johnson County District Attorney Paul Morrison announced Tuesday that he will switch parties and seek the Democratic nomination for Kansas attorney general next year. Morrison, a Republican, hopes to challenge Republican Attorney General Phill Kline, who won the office three years ago and is expected to run again, although he has not officially announced his plans. No one else has announced plans to seek the office in 2006. Morrison said he is running because he is deeply concerned about the direction the attorney generals office is headed, and made it clear that he was upset with the way Kline has conducted himself in the office. Morrison said the office has too often deviated from its core mission and has divided the people of Kansas. He made several references to professionalizing the office and not using it to promote partisan political issues. Under Kline, who is antiabortion, the office recently filed a lawsuit to block state-funded abortions under the Medicaid program, asking the court to declare that from conception, someone enjoys a fundamental right to life and liberty.

Suspensions
continued from page

1a They can appeal the suspension to stay in Senate. Most senators can explain their absences, Jones said. It takes a blaring disregard to not get reinstated, Student Body President Nick Sterner said. One senator who got expelled, Cole Smart, Topeka senior, said he didnt have enough time to go to the Senate meetings on Wednesdays because he was busy with school and other work. When he ran, he said he thought he could make the meetings. Its sad to lose senators, Jones said, but at the same time, this process opens up the seats to persons who might have more time and energy to take advantage of them. Nobodys mean, nobodys about trouble. The committee must make sure senators are accountable in going to meetings. This is the first cycle of meetings the Student Executive committee has had with suspended senators. Student Senate officials didnt have an exact number, but said between 20 and 25 students were cited because of lack of attendance last year. At least one senator, Dennis Chanay, was suspended at that time. The Senate office could not find how many other senators were suspended. This year, 11 senators appealed their suspensions. New senators who may not have known about office hours or old senators who had forgotten to sign in for office hours were part of the group who appealed their suspension, Jones said.

City Commission talks of merging bus systems

At Tuesdays Lawrence City Commission meeting, Cliff Galante, public transit administrator, sought advice from the commission about the possibility of coordinating KU on Wheels with the LawrenceTransit System. Galante presented the commission with an overview of work between the two bus systems, along with advantages of a coordinated system. KU on Wheels could receive federal funding for new buses if it were involved with the citys system, but the specifics of the cooperation were still undecided. It could be handling each others bus passes, or it could be the

whole ball of wax, Galante said. The commissioners seemed eager to help in the coordination effort, but two saw difficulties. Commissioner David Schauner said a merged system would be a high hurdle to jump because federal regulations come with large price tags and responsibilities. He said the short-term goal should be transparency, so that someone with a KU on Wheels bus pass could ride on the LawrenceTransit System, and vice versa. Commissioner Mike Rundle said that the two systems should follow models in other communities. If we cant follow those road maps exactly, well figure out which unique hurdles we have in Lawrence, Rundle said.

8a Its so unique to itself, he said. Its a so notEnglish, non-Romance language. Nina Kinti-Moss, lecturer in Latin American studies, taught Kechwa to Frasier. She has taught at the University since 1997, and estimated that five to seven students enrolled in the class each semester. Kechwas pretty much a home-spoken language, she said. Kechwa speakers use another language like Spanish outside and reserve Kechwa for their homes, she said. Through this oral tradition, it survived after the Spanish conquered the Incan empire in the sixteenth century. Its preserved by women because women are pretty much the culture of being at home, KintiMoss said. Women are the ones who impart language and culture to their children. Although the language has survived, economic changes have caused some linguists to predict its disappearance as more indigenous people move toward urbanized areas. Kinti-Moss said bilingual education programs in Ecuadorian elementary schools provided hope that Kechwa would continue in speech and writing.

8a Lhunpo and Winfrey agree the language doesnt come easily for non-native speakers. Tibetan grammar places the verb at the end of a sentence in a subject-object-verb or objectsubject-verb pattern, such as the mouse the cat chased. Until somebody finishes his or her sentences, you cant understand what hes asking or saying, Lhunpo said. For Lhunpo, each student learning Tibetan contributes to the survival of a threatened culture. He said 1.5 million of his fellow Tibetans died under Chinese rule. I think there are some things Tibetans can share to the world, like thinking from different perspectives, he said. For example, I think how fortunate I am. If the Chinese didnt rule Tibet, I wouldnt be here. Winfrey said he hoped more students interested in the language or the culture would take the class. Its a really interesting window into the Tibetan culture, he said. Even though Tibetan language might not be suited for international business, the personal experience of learning it, I think, would be a larger reward than the monetary gain.

Natural gas prices set record

NEW YORK Crude-oil futures leapt $2 past $62.50 a barrel amid a cold snap in the U.S. Northeast and a report that ConocoPhillips Inc. lost power at a New Jersey refinery. Natural gas prices set a record. While the power outage lasted less than an hour, ConocoPhillips said it didnt know when its 238,000-barrel-a-day Bayway refinery in Linden, N.J., could restart. The refinery news sent refined-product futures higher, with heating oil leading the gains. I think that added to the momentum, but we were already going up when that came out, said Phil Flynn, a broker for Chicago-based Alaron Trading Corp. It shows that the supplyand-demand balance is still so tightly wound that any disruption can send prices higher. Heating oil for November rose more than 10 cents on the day to touch a high $1.90 a gallon. It settled at $1.8899 a gallon, up 9.26 cents. Gasoline for the same month rose more than 9 cents to post a high of $1.6750 a gallon, closing up 7.22 cents at $1.6538 a gallon. November natural gas rose $1.346 to close at $14.338 per million British thermal units, an all-time settlement high.

Storm causes five deaths, $10 billion in damage

By Allen Breed
The AssociATed Press

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Repair crews across Florida struggled Tuesday to restore electricity to up to 6 million people, reopen the regions airports and replace countless windows blown out of downtown highrises during Hurricane Wilmas ruinous dash across the state. Officials said it could take weeks for Floridas most heavily populated region the Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach to return to normal. Water and gas became precious commodities, and people waited for hours for free water, ice and food. Lines stretched for blocks at the few gas stations with the electricity needed to pump fuel, and arguments broke out when

motorists tried to cut in line. More than 500 people waited outside one store for cleanup supplies. But barely 24 hours after the Category 3 storm struck, there were signs of recovery. We have power! We have power! several residents of Miami Lakes chanted as they ran out their back doors when the lights came on. The quantity of debris was daunting: pieces of roofs, trees, signs, awnings, fences, billboards and pool screens were scattered across several counties. Damage estimates ranged up to $10 billion. Tomorrows going to be better than today, Florida Governor Jeb Bush said. Some of the worst damage was in downtown Fort Lauderdale, where Wilma was the

strongest hurricane to strike since 1950. Winds of more than 100 mph blew out windows in high-rises, many built before Florida enacted tougher construction codes following Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The school districts 14-story headquarters known as the Crystal Palace was stripped of nearly its entire glass facade on one side. Were going to have to fix it in a way that is stronger, schools superintendent Frank Till said. The 21st storm in the worst Atlantic hurricane season on record, Wilma was blamed for at least five deaths statewide. It will be days or weeks before we are back to normal, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez said.

8a Its one of the best languages in terms of peace, he said. We have 125-plus tribes, and each tribe has its own first language. But we have one language which is uniting us, which is Kiswahili. Rushubirwa, who has taught at the University since March, said students take the class for cultural, academic or recreational reasons. You cant learn a culture unless you know the language, he said. He estimated 18 students had enrolled in his elementary Kiswahili class. One student, Dominique Franklin, Wichita sophomore, said she hoped she would speak it fluently one day. Everybody is taking Spanish, she said. I wanted to try something cool and different. Franklin, who is considering a minor in African-American studies, said she planned to travel to Africa during the summer. She finds her greatest challenge in pronouncing and memorizing the different words and meanings. She said the language reflected the Swahili peoples goodwill and hospitality. They meet and greet everyone they see, she said. If you say, Knock, knock, they say, Welcome.Its a very friendly language.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Hawk article lacks evidence Father, son and Halloween ghost

Joel Simone recently wrote an article claiming that the Hawk is being unfairly singled out for its habitual underage drinking offenses. I agree with Simone, its not fair to pick on one bar randomly. All laws should be enforced equally and fairly, but the article lacks evidence to show that isnt happening. Simone says that There are other bars in Lawrence that have more MIPs charges than the Hawk, but fails to mention one. I know it is possible and probable that other bars in town break liquor laws as often as the Hawk, but any sort of statistic proving that was left out by the Kansan. He also says that on any other night, in any other bar, a minor can be found drinking. That is simply not true, and if it were, it would be nearly impossible to prove. Yes, it was an obvious exaggeration, but it still hurts the credibility of his opinion. No matter what your opinion is of a certain bar, it helps to bring evidence to the table to support it, especially when it is going to be read by literally hundreds of people. Simone tells us how many people go to the Hawk, but doesnt compare it to the patronage of any other bar. Like Mama says, just because something is popular, that certainly doesnt make it cool. I have been a TALK deskie at GSP/Corbin for two-anda-half years now. Every weekend, girls come home and have clearly been drinking, and when they do, I ask how their evening was. At least once every night, I hear Whooooooo! Bull-Hawk-Wheel! as a response. Knowing what kind of (underage) girls go to the Hawk makes me think it might be the lamest bar in town. I fail to see why the police would be gunning for the number one bar in town. The number of citations certainly isnt evidence of them being singled out, its evidence of how often they break laws. While it may seem shady to the people who get busted for police to hang around and wait for a crime to occur, logically it makes sense. If the same bank gets robbed every week, why not have a cop there waiting for it to happen? The police dont have to give offenders a head start. Maybe having an ofcer in uniform hang around a bar does scare off some business, but if you arent breaking a law, then why be scared of a cop? The people who avoid the Hawk (or the Wheel or the Bull) because of this, probably do so to avoid MIPs. Having a drinking-age that is 21 instead of 18 may be stupid and il SUBMISSIONS

logical, and believe me, I think it is, but that doesnt make it not a law. Its the cops job to enforce laws, whether they agree with the law or not, and he probably isnt willing to risk it for some freshman drunken off of redbull and vodka. As far as newspaper articles condemning the Hawk, I agree with Simone, that is bad publicity which is being unfairly distributed. Yes, people in the media have to do their jobs and its easier to be sensational and write about one bar instead of all of them. Yes, people should rarely trust what the media tells us and should never take it at face value. However, Simone makes it seem as if there is a conspiracy to bring the Hawk down. The only evidence that he offers to show a bias against the Hawk is that it brings in 1,000 people between Wednesday and Saturday. Even then, he doesnt contrast it with a similar statistic from a similar establishment. The evidence might exist, but Simone simply doesnt show it to us. And its hard for me to feel sympathy for the Hawk when I have been told by dozens of 18-year olds that it is their bar of choice. JDennis Mersmann is a Lawrence junior..

Our night of haunted houses began at the Edge of Hell, where we had an exciting trip through a ridiculous, but fun, haunted house. It cost $20, but was worth the money and the hour long wait. The night took a dramatic turn down hill, however, when we were greeted by a person handing out yers for a new and great haunted house on 36th and Main streets called Nightmare. We thought this would be a great chance to see a smaller, possibly more creative haunted house, so we headed over to check it out. When we got there, we met a woman accepting only cash, which we paid, and a waiver stating we would experience reality-based, graphic imagery. What ensued was what I would consider the most appalling and generally offensive bait-and-switch scam I could have ever imagined. Instead of being scared by face paint and things ying out of the darkness, we were supposed to be scared by the horrors of real-life tragedy. A graphic drunk driving crash scene. A domestic dispute that resulted in a child committing suicide. We were forced to come two feet away from a women on a toilet having an abortion, and we had fake hand guns waved in our face. The horror concluded with a man being beaten and crucied in front of us. As we exited this haunted house, we were forced to watch a video of a pastor who tried to explain why he had duped us into witnessing such horric violence, and why he thought what he was doing was so high and noble. He told us there were people from his church standing outside the doors to talk to us

about what we saw. The people outside tried to talk to us about religion, tried to preach to us about how violent our world was. I was sick that so many people could be involved in such a corrupt idea. We were exploited by overzealous religious people who I am quickly growing to hate. This time it was much worse, because instead of misleadingly introducing themselves to me and trying to tell me their message, they took my money and made me look at absolutely miserable images that will give me nightmares tonight. Im not a pissed-off father or

a bitching mother. Im a college kid, the very person I imagine these jerks were trying to reach. I dont have any problem, or even disagree with their message, but I can not believe how misleading they were and outright unethical in presenting this as anything similar to a haunted house. I made a calm scene and tried explaining to these religious nuts why I was so offended they had put me through that and

insisted they return my money. They all played dumb and tried changing topics so I continued to insist on talking to the person in charge. They tried to make me feel guilty, saying that they were all volunteers, and the money was going to a good cause. But they didnt ask for a donation, they took my money and tried to push their agenda on me. Did they consider just how amazingly offended someone could be if they had experienced things like that in their life? Finally, their security realized we wouldnt leave without being bullied, so they surrounded us. They tried telling us if we wanted to wait 15 minutes their director would be out to discuss the matter. We were disgusted, and I could tell that talking about the matter any longer would only upset my friends and me even further, so we left. Now I wish I would have stayed. I wish I would have said something so that this jerk director realizes that this isnt OK and its not right. I wish I would have told the next group of unsuspecting customers to put away their wallets and turn and run. I cant believe someone thought that this was a good idea. And I cant believe that this place has lasted for any number of weekends now. The intolerable images from this horrid experience will haunt me for days, Nightmares. And I still dont have my money back. I hope no one has to put up with the night my friends and I did. Paul Garcia is an Overland Park senior.

Ever wondered where Disneys Hakuna matata in The Lion King originated? Maybe wanted to say hello in Tibetan, learn the language of the Incas or just take a break from Spanish and French. If any of this sounds appealing, karibuni, or welcome to some of the less commonly taught languages at the University of Kansas.

Champa Lhunpo, lecturer in the department of East Asian languages and cultures and a Tibetan Buddhist monk, has taught his native language in the United States since 1992. The places that speak Tibetan Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal and some regions of north India comprise an area larger than western Europe, Lhunpo said.

Kiswahili, spoken in eastern and central Africa, consists of rhythmic words and phrases that sound like soft, earthy drumbeats. Disney used Kiswahili phrases such as Asante sana and Hakuna matata in its 1994 animated film, The Lion King. The prefix Ki- translates to language of, so Kiswahili means the language of

Kiswahili

Swahili. If a Swahili speaker wanted to talk about the Chinese language, he would call it KiChina or the language of China. Leonce Rushubirwa, professor of African-American studies, grew up in Tanzania, which lists Kiswahili as its national language. Hes taught it for 22 years.

The University started Tibetan classes this year with five students. One of them, Rick Winfrey, Wichita senior, said he wanted to learn the language because he practiced Tibetan Buddhism. Whatever helps me learn Tibetan culture and Tibetan Buddhism, its just a bonus, he said.

He described the language as breezy and swift, like wind whipping through the trees.

For her most recent record, she broke the career assist record when she tallied number 20 after feeding a pass to senior forward Jessica Smith, clinching her hat trick against Oklahoma State on Oct. 7. Smith also leads Kansas in all-time career points, gamewinning goals and shots, and holds single-season records in points, goals, game-winning goals and shots.

10 matches along the way, she said. Hilla Rantala, former recordholder and graduate student from Helsinki, Finland, didnt have that much time. Rantala took fewer than 27 games. Although today Rantala spends her days at Kansas teaching economics as a graduate teaching assistant while working toward her Ph.D., she once led the program that Smith now commands. I didnt even know I had it, Rantala said of her former status as all-time career assist leader. She laughed when she realized she didnt even know where to find her stats. I dont care, Rantala said of the individual record. I mean, I was a forward, so if I didnt have any, then I wasnt doing my job. Obviously, no one is going to have a lot of assists and goals if you dont have a solid defense and a solid midfield who gets you the ball. Its really not an individual sport. Between the 1999 and 2001 seasons, Rantala accumulated

19 assists, excluding the entire 2000 season when she took a redshirt because of injury. Stats only tell one story, Smith said referring to the U.S.s obsession with numbers. Rantala cited the importance of stats as a major difference between American and European soccer. You cant tell how good a player is by their stats, Smith said. Its stupid the way that they do it. The only thing that should matter is whether you get the W or the L. The knee injury that provoked missing Rantalas original senior season added to the broken ankle that kept her on the sidelines for half of her junior year, when she broke her ankle 30 seconds into the first game. The forward continued to play on it for six more games. It was pretty painful, and it was my right leg, she said. So, I couldnt really shoot the ball. It almost seemed like a waste of a year.

Jayhawks can make bowl game

Football fans might have difficulty finding reasons to care about the rest of the season now that Kansas has suffered four straight losses. But as slim as the chances may seem, bowl eligibility is still a real possibility. The rest of the schedule includes three home games: Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State. The only road game is Texas, which is now No. 1 in the BCS poll. Realistically, Kansas can win only its remaining home games and Kansas must if it wishes to reach the six victories required to play in a bowl game. The key for the Jayhawks will be motivation. Football games can work in mysterious ways. Sometimes the outcome is decided by more than the talent on the field. Underdogs can use extra motivation to gain a victory. First up against the Jayhawks are the Tigers. Dont count Kansas out, even though Missouri has looked much better this year. Missouri is Kansas biggest rival, which equates to plenty of motivation. Last season, Kansas went into a game against Missouri with a four-game losing streak and no chance at a bowl game. The Jayhawks won by 17 points. In 2003 they won by 21 points at home when the Tigers had a national ranking. In both games the KU defense all but shut down Missouris best weapon, senior quarterback Brad Smith, and in both games Kansas was the underdog. Lets assume Kansas defeats Missouri on Saturday. Next up will be Nebraska. The Cornhuskers have defeated the Jayhawks 36 games in a row. Before the season, many fans saw this years game as the best opportunity in a long time to end it. Without going into more detail about how embarrassing the streak is, the Jayhawks should have no trouble finding extra motivation. Will that carry them to a victory? Its possible. If Kansas can defeat Missouri, it can defeat Nebraska too. Missouri already won 41-24 against Nebraska. Again, lets assume Kansas wins. Its next game is at Texas, which is the closest thing to a sure loss Kansas will find this season. But forget about Texas; the season finale at home against Iowa State will be for a bowl game and a regular season winning record. Kansas has been to one bowl game since 1995 and has no winning regular seasons. In 2003, Kansas notched six victories but also had six losses. With such a pivotal accomplishment on the line for the program, motivation will again be easy to find. Also, Iowa State is the easiest opponent left on Kansas schedule. Iowa State is only 1-3 in conference play, with its only victory against Oklahoma State, which is winless in the Big 12. For Kansas to reach six victories, it must start by defeating Missouri on Saturday. The Jayhawks should forget about what has already happened and focus on the Tigers, a team they have had no trouble with the last two seasons. A victory might prove to be the turning point for Kansas. The Jayhawks schedule couldnt have worked out any better. F Robinett is an Austin, Texas, junior in journalism.

Hawks return to home turf

By ryAn ColAiAnni
KANSAN STAFF WRITER

rcolaianni@kansan.com
Six weeks and four losses. Thats what has happened since Kansas last played at Memorial Stadium. When Kansas left its home field after a 34-14 victory against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 17, the Jayhawks seemed to be in perfect position to qualify for a bowl game. The Jayhawks were then outscored 105-36 in their four conference games, three of which were on the road. The other was at a neutral site at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. It is obviously very nice to get back home and play in front of your fans again, senior linebacker Banks Floodman said. There couldnt be a better time to come home and play against Mizzou. While Floodman was happy to return to Memorial Stadium he said he enjoyed playing games on the road in hostile environments. We have been gone so long we are excited to play anybody, Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said. We do play well at home, thats good. The downside is that we havent played as well as we need to on the

road. Kansas has been a much stronger team at home under Mangino. The Jayhawks are just 3-16 on the road under Mangino while being 12-10 at Memorial Stadium. It is going to be nice because you kind of miss the home turf and you kind of miss playing at home and playing in front of your home fans, sophomore running back Brandon McAnderson said. It will be great to get that feeling again. McAnderson said the team felt more confident when it played at home. Because of the road struggles Kansas needs to win three of its last four games to make its second bowl appearance in three years. Team members are looking at the rest of the season as a four-game season, hoping to qualify for that bowl game. To do that, they will likely have to win all three home games against Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State. We got to get something, senior safety Rodney Fowler said. We got to get at least six games to get us bowl eligible. That is what us seniors are trying to do.

The Kansas volleyball team will try to reverse its recent fortunes against Nebraska when it takes on the No. 1 Huskers tonight at the NU Coliseum in Lincoln, Neb. Nebraskas athletics department claims that the Huskers have never lost to the Jayhawks in 75 meetings between the two teams. Kansas records show the Jayhawks winning a match against the Huskers on Oct. 17, 1975 at the Graceland Invitational in Lamoni, Iowa, and trailing the series 74-1-1. Either way its sliced, it has been total domination by the ladies from Nebraska. Kansas volleyball coach Ray Bechard said he thought this years team had a chance to end it. It seems like theyve had their way with everybody, Bechard said. Arguably, their toughest match was against us this year. Obviously its going to take a great effort over an extended period of time for it to work out that way. Nebraska has held down the nations top ranking since the preseason College Sports TV/American Volleyball Coaches Association poll was released in August. The Huskers are 19-0 overall and 10-0 in the Big 12 Conference. They defeated the Jayhawks 3-1 on Oct. 8 in Lawrence. In that match the Jayhawks held the Huskers to one of their lowest attack percentages of the season. They hit just .292, but they stymied the Jayhawks attack as well. Kansas hit a meager .071. Nebraska also outblocked Kansas 22.0-4.0. The Huskers have not so much as lost a game in their four matches since that encounter at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. The Huskers also have not lost a match at home since Sept. 11, 2004, a stretch of 24 matches. They have lost only one game total during their streak. They have won 33 consecutive

Nebraska senior middle blocker Melissa Elmer leads the country in blocks with 2.38 per game. In addition she leads the Big 12 with a gaudy .450 attack percentage. In her last 10 matches she is averaging 3.21 kills per game while posting a .521 mark. With such a daunting task ahead, Kansas senior setter Andi Rozum said the Jayhawks prepared the same as they would against any other team, but there was more fire in their time leading up to the match. We know that we are capable of playing with them, Rozum said. We look at what worked and didnt work last time and try to use that to get ready. The Jayhawks recent struggles are well-documented. Five straight losses, one victory in their last seven matches and a 4-7 conference record are all statistics that the team would rather not think about. In order to reverse the trend, Rozum said the Jayhawks would have to play their best match of the season. Junior outside hitter Megan Hill, who has started the last four matches in the absence of injured junior Jana Correa, is feeling more comfortable with every match. She recorded a careerhigh 13 kills in the Jayhawks loss to Baylor last Saturday. Everything is starting to go a little smoother, Hill said. I got thrown into a good mix of matches, so I feel like I got broken in. As for what the Jayhawks need to do to steal one in Lincoln, Hill made it sound simple. We just need to be fearless, Hill said. Weve got nothing to lose. Edited by Alison Peterson

Big 12 Conference honors freshman for recent performance in goal

The Big 12 Conference honored KU goalkeeper Julie Hanley for the first time in her career, this week. The Indianapolis freshman was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week yesterday for the week of Oct. 16 to Oct. 22. In the last three weeks, Hanley started in goal in all of Kansas last six matches and has accumulated a 6-1-0 record in her first collegiate season. Hanley played a vital role in Kansas defeating Texas for the first time in the programs history, on Sunday. Kansas soccer coach Mark Francis credited her five saves in the match, including a diving second-half grab, as being critical in the victory. With the lowest goals-against average on the team as of late, Hanley is averaging .82 goalsagainst per game, entering the final week of the regular season. She has allowed six goals and saved 34 in 2005. Hanley is likely to start in goal against Missouri on Friday to wrap up the regular season.

Former Astro concerned about lack of African-American players

HOUSTON Joe Morgan worries about the face of baseball. Watching the World Series, the Hall of Famer is troubled by what he sees. His old team, the Houston Astros, is down 2-0 to the Chicago White Sox, but its not their lineup that concerns Morgan. Its their makeup. The Astros are the first World Series team in more than a half-century with a roster that doesnt include a single black player. Of course I noticed it. How could you not? Morgan said while the Astros took batting practice before the opener in Chicago. But theyre not the only ones. There are two or three teams that didnt have any African-American players this year. Morgan said its a predicament and a challenge for Major League Baseball. While more players from around the world are making it to the majors Japan, Korea, for example the number of blacks is declining. Its a daunting task to get African-American kids into baseball, and I dont see the trend changing, he said. The last World Series team without a black player was the 1953 New York Yankees. It wasnt until 1955 eight years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947 that Elston Howard became the first black in Yankee pinstripes. Black players accounted for just about 9 percent of big league rosters this season. We know that we have work to do, Commis sioner Bud Selig said Tuesday. Well continue to intensify our efforts. Im very aware, Im extremely sensitive about it, and I feel badly about it. But we need to get to work to change things.

Wellington Mara, Giants co-owner for more than 50 years, dies at 89

NEW YORK Every NFL fan owes a huge debt to Wellington Mara, who died Tuesday at 89. So does every owner, executive and player. Mara, who joined the New York Giants as a ballboy the day his father purchased the team 80 years ago and became co-owner as a teenager, was the face of his team for more than a half century. But he also was the patriarch of the NFL, a man who was willing for more than 40 years to split the millions in television revenues he could have made in the nations largest market with the Green Bays and Pittsburghs of the league. It put the NFL at the top of Americas sports hierarchy. He shaped nearly every rule and philosophy we have in our league today, said Ernie Accorsi, the Giants general manager. Most of all, he was the moral conscience of the National Football League. He now joins the pantheon of incredible men who made this league what it has become. Said commissioner Paul Tagliabue: Wellington Mara represented the heart and soul of the National Football League. He was a man of deep conviction who stood as a beacon of integrity.

Chiefs Warfield starts again

By Doug Tucker
The AssociATed Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Eric Warfield is finally back as a starting cornerback, so maybe Kansas Citys supposedly improved defense will begin to play like one. Their 4-2 record after six games would suggest an upgrade from last year when they were 2-4. And the run defense is obviously improved, with an average yield of only 95.5 yards per game that ranks in the top 10 in the league. While finishing 7-9 last year, they were 31st in total defense and dead last in pass defense. Going into Sundays game at San Diego, theyre near the bottom in total defense, giving up almost 360 yards per game.

And their pass defense, statistically at least, is still poor. With Warfield playing only in last weeks 30-20 victory over Miami, the Chiefs have given up 263.7 yards passing every game which is not exactly what they had hoped for after bringing in safety Sammy Knight and cornerback Patrick Surtain. Nevertheless, coach Dick Vermeil remains upbeat. I believe they are (getting better), he said Tuesday. Of course, I always see things as getting better. Sometimes Im a little blind, but I just feel we are getting better. Warfield sat out the first four games under NFL suspension for DUI and then was left inactive for the fifth game of the year, possibly because he was still in

the coaches doghouse for an uninspired training camp. But the veteran cornerback made his first start at Miami and will get another start on Sunday at San Diego. Its different, Warfield said. You can go out and do all sorts of conditioning workouts. I thought I was 100 percent ready to get in there and give it my best. And even though I did go play a pretty decent game, when I finally got onto that field and the whistle blew, I realized there were a few little things I needed to work on to get back to where I used to be. He discovered, as some veterans had warned, that the only way to get into top football shape was to play football. You have to be in a game, Warfield said. You can watch

all the film and do all the conditioning you want to do. But if youre not in the game getting the feel of it, youre just not going to have it. The 2004 defense gave up an average of 132 yards rushing, almost 40 yards more than the 2005 unit has allowed the first six games. Improved speed at linebacker has made an obvious difference there. Once we started putting the pads on in training camp you had the idea we were going to be pretty successful in that aspect, said defensive end Eric Hicks. We need to clean some things up, but were working hard on that. Everybody knows its a one-gap defense and everybody is playing to the best of their ability.

Postseason brings umpires front and center

BY MIKE FITZPATRICK
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Most umpires would rather remain anonymous. This October, theyve been the center of attention. Night after night, postseason games are turning on questionable calls in key situations, and it seems almost every one has gone Chicagos way. The latest example came in Game 2 of the World Series with Jermaine Dye at the plate. Foul ball or hit by pitch? Again, the umps got it wrong. Again, the ruling went in favor of the White Sox. These couple of calls have overshadowed the way were playing, Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen said Monday at Minute Maid Park. Take a look at the way we play, take a look at the way we pitch, take a look at the way we come back. ... Ive said before, Id rather be lucky than good, and I think weve been more lucky than good. If the White Sox feel slighted, the umpires feel slandered. With slow-motion instant replay and super-close camera an-

gles, fans watching at home can clearly see when the umps make even a minor mistake and especially a major one. That leads to unwanted attention for a distinguished group of arbiters. And it leads to plenty of criticism, too. Theyre getting blistered for things that happen every day, said Jerry Crawford, the crew chief for this years AL championship series, which was lled with disputed calls. My beef is you guys are supposed to report on what happens. Youre not supposed to dwell on what happens. Umpires are graded throughout the regular season, then selected for postseason assignments. Crawford, a major league ump since 1976, said he and his colleagues are doing the best they can. Do we make mistakes? Absolutely, he said. Its the weird things that have happened that have put a damper on this. The balls and strikes, there havent been many beefs, and thats probably the most important part. Questionable calls have

marked the entire postseason a year after umpires were praised for huddling to get key calls correct in October, even if it meant overturning the original ruling. The ruckus began in Game 2 of this years ALCS, when plate umpire Doug Eddings called strike three on Chicagos A.J. Pierzynski but not the third out in the bottom of the ninth inning. Eddings ruled that Angels catcher Josh Paul didnt glove Kelvim Escobars low pitch before it hit the ground. Pierzynski alertly hustled to rst just in case even as the Angels were walking off the eld, thinking the inning was over. Moments later, Joe Credes game-winning double evened the series. The confusing call sure seemed to take all the starch out of the Angels, who lost the next three at home and were eliminated. Chicago hasnt lost since. Later, Eddings said he should have been more emphatic in making the no-catch call. Pierzynski got another break

in Game 4 when plate umpire Ron Kulpa did not call him for catchers interference after his mitt tipped Steve Finleys bat. The NLCS had its share, too. Plate umpire Phil Cuzzi ejected Cardinals manager Tony La Russa and star center elder Jim Edmonds for arguing balls and strikes in Game 4. In Game 6, Astros shortstop Adam Everett missed an important tag at second base, but umpire Greg Gibson called Yadier Molina out. Are there things in hindsight that could have been done otherwise? I think the umpires in fairness would be the rst to admit that, said Mike Port, hired by the commissioners ofce as vice president of umpiring on Aug. 1. Dye was up Sunday night with two on, two outs and a 32 count. He was awarded rst base by plate umpire Jeff Nelson, though replays showed Dan Wheelers seventh-inning pitch actually hit Dyes bat, not his hand or forearm and the slugger later admitted as much. The White Sox beat Houston 76 for a 2-0 Series lead.

Defense faces top test

dberk@kansan.com
KANSAN SENIOR SPORTSWRITER

The Kansas defense is No. 1 against the rush in the Big 12 Conference, but its hands will be full this weekend against Missouris Brad Smith. Kansas football coach Mark Mangino said he knew how difficult it would be to shut down Smith. Hes so dangerous because hes not just a threat to throw the ball, he is capable of breaking long runs. If you give Brad Smith an open field, he will run it like a tailback, Mangino said. You cant give him any creases. If you give him creases, he will hurt you. Last weekend, against Nebraska, which had the No. 1 rush defense in the conference before Saturday, Smith became the sixth player in NCAA history to run for more than 200 yards and also throw for more than 200 yards in the same game. Kansas is coming off a stretch of conference games where it faced several pocket passers, rather than quarterbacks who run like Smith. Senior linebacker Banks Floodman said the defense would have to prepare differently for Smith than it had for any other quarterbacks. Well try to put a quarterback on the scout team that is agile and quick, like Brad is, Floodman said. We have to work on containing him. If he gets outside, he is likely to make big plays and hurt us. Floodman and the rest of the

Senior linebacker Kevin Kane lays out to bring down Colorado sophomore wide receiver Alvin Barnett while freshman cornerback Aqib Talib and junior cornerback Kenneth Thompson converge to assist. Kane accumulated six tackles in the game against Colorado on Saturday in Boulder. KU defense have had success shutting down Smith before. Last season, Kansas beat Missouri 3114 and held Smith to negative rushing yards because of sacks. In 2003, Kansas held Smith to 33 rushing yards and came away with a 35-14 victory. Senior linebacker Kevin Kane said the team didnt like to look back at previous games, but said it gave the defense confidence to know it had shut down Smith. Missouri has changed its offensive game plan from last season and tried to spread the ball more. Mangino said the defense worked on adjusting to Missouris new look. They are still doing some things they have done in the past, Mangino said. But they have picked up the tempo and spread out the field trying to run him with no running backs in the backfield. During Smiths freshman season, he became only the second quarterback in NCAA history to throw for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than 1,000 yards in the same season. Smiths past two seasons havent been as successful. He accumulated only 553 rushing yards last season, and in 2003 he threw for fewer than 2,000 yards. This season, Smith has regained his freshman year touch. He leads the conference in rushing yards with 865 and has thrown for more than 1,400 yards just seven games into the season. Missouri running back Tony Temple said it was special to be on the same team as Smith. Sometimes during a play, you just have to sit back and say, wow, Temple said. He is capable of doing anything when he has the ball in his hands, and it is exciting for everyone in the stadium. Brad is truly a special player. Edited by Jonathan Kealing
