Jackson suspended by NCAA

Forward out for nine games
By Ryan Colaianni

KANSAN STAFF WRITER

Sophomore forward Darnell Jackson has been suspended for nine games by the NCAA for accepting $5,000 worth of gifts from a Kansas booster. The announcement came Tuesday after the NCAA student-athlete reinstatement staff and the Kansas Athletics De-

partment finished the eligibility investigation. Jackson is permitted to begin playing for Kansas after he fulfills his suspension. The suspension marks yet another negative occurrence for the Kansas Athletics Department. Last summer it put itself on minor probation after self-reporting NCAA violations, including small cash gifts to graduated players. Earlier this year, former KU

pitcher Scott Sharpe was involved in a fight; former guard J.R. Giddens was stabbed outside the Moonbar, a bar at the intersection of Ninth and Iowa streets that closed last summer; transfer guard Rodrick Stewart was hit on the head while trying to avoid a fight at Abe and Jakes Landing, a bar located at 8 E. Sixth St.; and softball coach Tracy Bunge was sued for sexual harassment.

Jackson accepted the gifts from Don Davis, who lives in Oklahoma City and is a graduate from the University of Kansas. Gifts included transportation, meals and lodging Jackson for Jackson and his family. Jackson also accepted a personal loan from Davis. Mr. Davis has been a friend of my family, a mentor and a positive influence on my life. I didnt realize at the time that

certain aspects of our friendship violated NCAA rules, Jackson said. The nine games that Jackson has been suspended represent 30 percent of his season. Jackson sat out the teams first exhibition game against Fort Hays State last week but played against Pittsburg State, scoring eight points and bringing down seven rebounds. Were disappointed that we are having to deal with this situation. I believe that, although inappropriate by NCAA rules, Mr. Davis intentions were sin-

cere and were intended to be in the best interests of Darnell and his family, Kansas mens basketball coach Bill Self said. This is a rough stretch for him and his family, but Darnell has handled it very maturely. Davis relationship with Jackson began in the fall of 2002 and lasted through April of 2005. Davis failed to contact the NCAA or the Kansas athletics department to find out if his relationship with Jackson would be considered a rules violation.

Phill Kline, Kansas Attorney General, got an opportunity Tuesday night to do what he calls the most enjoyable part of his job: talk about issues with college students. The University of Kansas College Republicans brought Kline to speak in front of almost 100 students at its meeting in Alderson Auditorium. Kline, a 1987 KU School of Law alumnus, said the audience was challenging and engaging because college students

have an interest in gaining knowledge about politics. Kline didnt give a formal speech; instead, he addressed issues brought up by the audience. He talked about judicial inquiry, abortion, the death penalty and education. Judicial inquiry is a topic that Kline said took up 1 percent of his time as attorney general and 90 percent of his time with the media. The issue stems from actions Kline took last spring to obtain medical records from abortion clinics to prosecute sex crimes.

Researchers at the University of Kansas will spend the next five years collecting and studying the genes of jellyfish, sea anemones and corals. From that genetic information, they will learn more about how these undersea creatures evolved. The University is the lead institution for this years Assembling the Tree of Life project grant from the National Science Foundation. The NSF launched the project in 2002 in an attempt to fill holes in what Charles Darwin called the Tree of Life. Darwin thought that all species were genetically related through evolution, using a tree as a metaphor. With $1.6 million of the NSFs five-year, $2.85-million grant, the University will focus on the evolutionary history of cnidarians,

a phylum that includes various forms of sea life. Daphne Fautin, professor of biological sciences, said the overall goal of the research was to deepen understanding of cnidarians evolutionary history. The researchers want to outline the evolutionary relationships between more than 11,000 species of cnidarians. To do so, they have to collect thousands of sea animals representing 1,500 to 2,000 species to sample their DNA. Classification experts will help identify the species they examine, Fautin said. The researchers will extract the DNA and determine its sequence, the precise order of the molecules that form the cnidarian genetic code. Genetic se-

quence specialists will compare it to other sequences, looking for differences. When two sequences are similar, that means those species are more closely related

than when two sequences are less alike, Fautin said. The researchers will also look beyond genetics to find links between cnidarians by studying the cnidarians life cycles, development and anatomy. The word cnidarian comes from the Greek word knidos, which means stinging nettle. All cnidarians use a stinging thread, called a tubial, to attack prey, defend themselves and digest their food. If you brush a jelly fish, the tubial discharges, said Abby Reft, a graduate student from Chicago. It sometimes punctures a hole on a microscopic scale.

Africa has woes, hope

Chairman and associate professor of the French and Italian departments.

goals, while keeping things running smoothly day-to-day. How long have you been at KU? I have been at KU since 1989. Had I come here a year earlier, alas, I could have celebrated the national basketball championship. Does the department of French and Italian have any problems with fulfilling the enrollment needs of students? Our beginning, intermediate and advanced classes fill up quickly both in French and in Italian. It is heartening that KU students recognize how crucial it is to learn at least one foreign language, and we wish we could open up more sections to satisfy the demand. Are any new changes or improvements being planned for the department? Both in French and in Italian, we are dramatically expanding our use of film and media in courses ranging from beginning language to major-level culture courses. This year, we also began offering courses on French culture and literature outside continental France. What is your favorite KU tradition? The Summer Language Institutes in France and Italy have been around for quite a while. I have co-directed the Summer Language Institute in Paris five times, so I guess that is my favorite KU tradition. Edited by Alison Peterson

What is it like to be the chairman of a department at the University of Kansas? Being chair of a foreign language department at KU is interesting, since the University is very attuned to internationalization. This situation presents many opportunities for expanding the study of other cultures, both on campus in terms of course offerings and with respect to study abroad opportunities while students are degree candidates at KU and afterwards.

What is your previous experience with the French and Italian languages? French was the first foreign language I studied, starting in junior high school. I spent a year abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France, as an undergraduate at Vanderbiltin-France and then spent a further year in Paris as a doctoral student. I did my Ph.D. at UNC-Chapel Hill. What are some of the duties you perform in your job? Recently, one of my duties was to organize the KU Tournes French Film Festival. Other duties include such things as establishing the budget for graduate teaching assistants in French and Italian, organizing the recruitment of new faculty, encouraging undergraduates and graduate students to study French and Italian language and culture, and helping the department set long-term

Last night Molefi K. Asante spoke to an audience of about 300 in Budig on African-American history and the continents struggle for liberation as part of the Africa and African-American departments Marwa Africana Lecture Series. Asante is known for establishing the first ever AfricanAmerican studies department in the United States at Temple University and for his theory of Afrocentricity, an academic approach to data that places Africa at the center of academic inquiry. At the beginning of the lecture, Asante said his entire speech could be encapsulated into one sentence. Africans were brought to the Americas against their will, he said. He then went into a retelling of the lengths he said slave owners went to break the slaves spirits, from changing their names to negating their history. Asante emphasized that African Americans in particular should learn about Africa in order to better understand their history and their own lives. We are more sane once we see ourselves, through our eyes and our own experiences, as op-

posed to the Eurocentric view, Asante said. Thats when everything clears up and we achieve mental liberation. The series is intended to address matters related to Africa and the African Diaspora. Peter Ukpokodu, chairman of African and African-American studies, said the department brought in Asante to speak because the topic represented both the international and domestic aspects of his department. Asante, when posed with the question of why more African Americans did not help put more money back in Africa, said money wasnt what Africa needed, but equitable economic practices were. Africa is the richest continent on the Earth and yet has the poorest people. None of the farmers receive government subsidies, international tariffs are extremely high and there is residual debt inherited from colonialism, he said. Africa is not even allowed to sell finished products in America. Africa doesnt need money. What they need is fair trade, he said. The series is named after Nigerian politician Mohamed Buba Marwa. Among his many accomplishments, he is founder of a Nigerian airline company, a diplomat and a Harvard gradu-

He is also touted as the next possible president of Nigeria in 2007. Marwa first came to the University to receive the Outstanding Leadership Award from the Center for Multicultural Leadership in 2003. Soon after, he donated money to establish the Marwa Africana Lecture Series. Aminu Gusau, lecturer for Africa and African-American studies, said it was important to have leaders like Marwa in Africa at this time. Africa is changing, especially when all of the focus is on debt relief and growth, Gusau said. Without effective leadership, there is no way to have the money managed effectively. Marwa briefly spoke before Asantes speech. He said there was not a shortage of leadership in Africa striving against the odds for political renewal. These are exciting times of hope and optimism, Marwa said. Our past is not our destiny, but they can only serve to help provide a clearer vision for the future. Edited by Kellis Robinett

Meeting proposed to hear fresh ideas

By JOhn JOrdan

Kansan staff writer

The Student Senate is planning to have a town hall-style meeting early next semester to let students suggest ideas and issues they would like Senate to study. Marynell Jones, student body vice-president, is organizing the event. Jones, Dallas senior, said she planned to send her ideas to senators through e-mail. She said the idea came from the Big 12 student leadership conference at the University three weeks ago. Jones said she hoped Senate could take the concerns of other groups and discuss them with the administration. Some groups have expressed interest in the idea and already

have ideas. AbleHawks, a student group that tries to raise awareness of disability issues on campus, would like to raise certain concerns. Derek Zarda, Shawnee senior and AbleHawks president, said there were senators who understood on-campus disability issues. There is room for improvement, though, he said. I do not think our voice has been heard enough, Zarda said. AbleHawks would like to see buses made wheelchair accessible so students with disabilities dont have to use alternative methods of transportation. Senate has made headway with transportation, but Zarda said he would ask them to bring legislation that acknowledged the need for equal access. Zarda

do not think our voice has been heard enough.

Derek Zarda
AbleHawks president said AbleHawks had no ill will toward Senate. Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said he would like to see Senate make funding easier for groups such as the Black Student Union, the Asian American Student Union, the Hispanic American Leadership Organization and the First Nations Student Association. Because the groups ask Senate for money each year, the organizations are becoming

more focused on fundraising, Page said. Their role should be more of a governing organization, rather than the fundraising groups theyve become. Page said Senate was one of the best in the Big 12 in commitment to diversity. Capt. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public safety office said the office was interested in the event and that Chief Ralph Oliver would be meeting with officers to come up with ideas to discuss. Bailey said the event was a great idea, and the department looked forward to bringing ideas to Senate. Jones said these were exactly the kinds of issues she hoped groups brought to the meeting. My hope is things come up we dont know about, Jones said. Edited by Jonathan Kealing

KU Hospital getting bigger facility

The University of Kansas Hospital is moving its outpatient cancer center to its Westwood Campus at the former Sprint world headquarters in Overland Park. The space will be moved from 26,000 square feet at its current location at the hospitals main campus in Kansas City, Kan., to 42,000 square feet at the Westwood Campus. The number of outpatient cancer patients has grown by more than 171 percent since 2001 to nearly 23,000 annual patient visits, reaching levels originally projected for 2009. To accommodate this quick growth in the number of patients, the hospital more than doubled cancer center space at the current location, but the additional space wasnt enough, according to a KU hospital news release. Treatment centers and equipment that will be moved to the Westwood Campus include the breast center, ultrasound equipment used to diagnose digestive track cancers, labs and private treatment rooms for chemotherapy patients. Radiation treatment for cancer will continue to be administered at the main campus. The new space will begin admitting patients in 18 to 24 months.

People who buy faculty members mens basketball tickets will be in for a rude awakening when they try to enter Allen Fieldhouse this season. Associate Athletics Director Jim Marchiony said the Kansas Athletics Department would not allow faculty members to sell their tickets to mens basketball games. At least six different pairs of faculty tickets have been spotted for sale online at www.ebay. com. Currently, two different pairs of faculty tickets for the Jan. 7, game against Kentucky are selling for $300 and $500. Marchiony said the department pursued the sale of staff tickets because it has been an issue, especially since the priority point system for basketball seating began two years ago.

The department was concerned about faculty ticket sales because their seats did not require a donation to the Williams Educational Fund, Marchiony said. All other ticket holders, excluding students, are required to make a minimum $100 per year donation to the Williams Fund for season tickets rights. He said faculty members were able to purchase a ticket at 20 percent less than the $40 face value. Theyre worth a considerable amount of money and if were going to provide them to faculty, thats who we expect to sit there, Marchiony said. Susan Twombly, faculty ticket liaison, said faculty members were reminded by the department before the season about its ticket resale policy. We support Kansas Athletics in the actions they are taking when they find faculty who are doing this, Twombly said.

A new digital ticketing system, which includes the addition of a barcode on tickets for scanning upon entry to the fieldhouse, is in response to counterfeit and resold tickets. Marchiony said if faculty tickets were found for sale, either by accident or intentionally, the barcode on the ticket would be deactivated. Anyone with that deactivated ticket would not be allowed in the fieldhouse. A letter would also be sent informing that faculty member that his or her tickets for that game would not be valid. He said at least one faculty member has already been sent a letter about a possible ticket sale. University faculty and staff are allotted about 1,800 tickets in the northeast, southeast and southwest corners of Allen Fieldhouse. Edited by Kellis Robinett

Kline said in Kansas, there were strict, narrow circumstances for an offender to get the death penalty. The biggest concern is making sure the state doesnt take innocent lives. With regard to teaching evolution and intelligent design, Kline said he didnt really know where he stood on the issue, but he said the state should be smart enough to talk about it. He said he wanted to make sure everyone kept an open mind. Science gets pretty closeminded sometimes, he said. Kline said he often got bad press.

Marchiony did not know where the money would come from to replace the equipment, or if the money would come from the 1 to 2 percent of University funds it receives. him, calling him a right-wing, religious nut. Kline said that bad press included that on The University Daily Kansan opinion page. If I read about myself in the UDK, I wouldnt like myself either, Kline said. Felix Zacharias, Wichita freshman and a member of the College Republicans, said Kline was energetic and verbose. Kline did a good job of separating his opinions and his job, making sure they didnt connect, he said.

Jackson met Davis before Kansas began recruiting the Oklahoma City native to play basketball at Kansas, and the athletics department said it did not know of the relationship while Jackson was being recruited. I established a relationship

with this fine young man and his family when I initially met him at a high school basketball game in Oklahoma City prior to his being recruited by the University of Kansas, Davis said. My interest in Darnell was reinforced greatly when I viewed a United Way video, which prominently mentioned Darnell and the difficulties he overcame as a young man to become the person of high character that I know him to be.

Keep friends close, and your real friends closer

At this age, most of us would probably agree that one of the important things in our lives is our friends. As we get older, some of our friendships advance with us and some of them do not. A friend can be generally dened as someone you enjoy being around whom you hang out with, drink with, conde in and rely on in times of need. You have close friends who you trust more than just an acquaintance, and of course, there are your best friends who you trust the most. You are closest to these people, and have have known them the longest. If you were asked to think about approximately how many friends you have, how many do you think it would be? Then, if you were asked how many true friends that you be-

MEGAN LOGUE
opinion@kansan.com

lieve you have, what would that number be? Most people would have a considerably lower number for the second question. You are probably wondering why I bring this up. Lately, Ive witnessed quite a bit of melodrama between some of my friends, and I couldnt help but start thinking about the way people treat each other who they ultimately consider their real friends. Now, girls can be vicious, catty, competitive animals with each other and boys are also competitive but are nowhere

near as petty as women can be. Because I am a girl, my perspective may be a bit different than the average guys. Even though those traits are human nature, it is not the way we should treat the people we call our friends. Girls, think about all of your true girl friends. Of those, how many do you still want to know when you are 40? Right now, we have friends that we go out and party with, that we live with, have class with etc., but once we are spread out and working in the real world, who will you still keep in touch with? The question Im asking is, who are your real, genuine friends? Some people might say that they have countless true friends and are not concerned about evaluating them, and if you are one of those

We are adults now,

and there is no reason t keep someone around simply because you are afraid to tell them how you really feel or because youre worried about what other people will think or say.
people, you are either extremely lucky or lying to yourself. A true friend would not say rude things about you behind your back, lie to you about anything, compete with you or do something that they know

would hurt you. I know that there are friends of mine that have done all of the above to me or another friend, and I know that I am guilty of doing these things sometimes as well, but through all of it, you have to be able to decide what is forgivable and what is not. We are adults now, and there is no reason to keep someone around simply because you are afraid to tell them how you really feel or because youre worried about what other people will think or say. Right now, it seems like no big deal, but as we get older and go through the hard parts of our lives, we will realize more and more how vital our friends really are. My point after saying all of that is simply this: keep the people around who truly care

about you for who you are, will treat you the best and bring the best out in you, and who you truly trust. That may seem obvious and common, but if you really think about it, I bet you would be surprised at what you came up with. By that, I dont mean make a list of all your friends, check the ones you think are worth holding onto and screw the rest, because that is not what I mean. There is no reason to be confrontational or immature to get your point across, just be smart about those who you call your genuine friends and be careful when you give away your trust. Remember, true friendship is felt, not said. Megan Logue is an Overland Park junior in English.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We need more ad-options

When reading the latest article in the current debate about the morality of abortion, we were unpleasantly reminded of Jonathan Swifts satire of the famine in Ireland, A Modest Proposal in which the author suggests that a solution to both the overpopulation and the poverty in his country is eating Irish babies. This connection is unpleasant, because David Armstrong does not seem to be satirizing the situation, but rather suggesting that we, as a society, use abortion as a means of population control; if abortion were the logical solution to world hunger and poverty. One of us is pro-life and one of us is pro-choice, and Armstrongs arguments are deeply disturbing to both of us because they seem to ignore the root problems that face our world and the causes that drive women to abortion. The pro-choicer was in total agreement with Armstrong until he began discussing abortion as just another means of population control and a solution to world hunger (a logistical leap not supported by any research we know of). The pro-lifer also thinks that there is a huge difference between an abortion (ending a pregnancy which has already begun) and non-abortive contraceptives. Are we, rather than attempting to solve the plight of world hunger, simply to begin a new round of genocide? Africa, as a continent, faces many of the problems discussed by Armstrong and others. Should we simply drop a new nuclear bomb on Africa

We come from different backgrounds and different belief systems, but what we share is the belief that women deserve better then abortion...
and relieve the Africans of their suffering? This seems to be the next logical step in the trajectory Armstrong wishes to begin by using abortion to rid the world of all potentially unwanted, uncared-for and poor children. This program has a name: eugenics. We havent heard its proponents in about 60 years; since the Nazis and other groups, including Americans, used forced sterilization in order to control undesirable populations, such as Jews, Gypsies, gays, the mentally and physically handicapped and the poor. We come from different backgrounds and different belief systems, but what we share is the belief that women deserve better than abortion, and that, if abortion is continued to be seen as a womans issue (which is debatable but which we will not discuss here), we need to seek solutions that are centered on and supported by women. Abortion is not the end-all, be-all solution to poverty, world hunger and gender inequality. Even in the United States,

studies done by the Guttmacher Institute (the research arm of Planned Parenthood) indicate that lack of nancial support (i.e. poverty) and social support for single parents are among the primary reasons women choose abortion, even though many of these women indicate that they wish there was a better choice. Pro-choice should not only mean that women have the option to have an abortion. It should also mean that they have the choice not to have an abortion. This means that we, as a society, need to develop programs that provide support for these women who may not see abortion as their best option. We need to support programs, like the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Pregnant and Parenting Students Act which is currently before Congress. The act would provide support for women who may otherwise feel forced into an abortion. Why, instead of seeing abortion as the solution to poverty, dont we seek out relief organizations that we can personally support, such as UNICEF and World Vision, which provide other types of solutions to the same problems? The solutions we should be seeking shouldnt involve eating our children, but rather supporting their mothers (and fathers) in an attempt to better the world without destroying the unwanted among us.

Microsoft hopes to hit it big with new console
By Chris Moore

editor@kansan.com
Kansan correspondent

It looks like something from the future. Its sleek, silver outer casing with a silhouette like a Coke bottle houses even more sophisticated gaming technology than its black behemoth of a predecessor. Next Tuesday, the Xboxs familiar green glow will be seen on television sets around the country. The Xbox 360 is the first of three next-generation consoles to hit the streets, and people are gearing up to try it. EA Sports representative Chase Jacobs, Portland, Ore., junior, cant wait to get his hands on the Xbox 360. I think its going to be good, solid system, Jacobs said. Microsoft has learned a lot from their previous mistakes. Gene Nutt, owner of Game Nutt Entertainment, has high expectations for the new Xbox. Graphically, its just going to be amazing: bigger games, better graphics quality, more in-depth movie sequences, more in every aspect of what youre already playing, Nutt said. Craig Ross, Olathe freshman, will be one of the first to get the Xbox 360. Ross brother works at E B Games, 3140 Iowa St., and was able to secure a preorder. He owns all the other systems and wants to add the Xbox 360 to his collection. Ross, who has already played the new system, thought it was decent, but not a big jump from its predecessor. The picture quality is a little better, he said. The Xbox 360 comes to stores on Nov. 22. Two different packages will be available for purchase. The core system will include an Xbox 360 console, a wired controller and AV cable. Its starting price is $299.99, according to www.Xbox. com. The other Xbox 360 package will include a console with a chrome finish, hard drive, wireless controller, Xbox Live headset, HD-AV cable and ethernet cable. It will cost $399.99. Before its release, the Xbox 360 will be on display for fans to try out at Game Nutt Entertainment, 844 Massachusetts St. EA Sports and Game Nutt are holding a special event for the release of the Xbox 360 at Game Nutt on Saturday. The event will have an Xbox 360 demonstration of five of its launch titles, including Madden 2006, NBA Live and Fifa 2006. Tickets should be available from Game Nutt soon, Nutt said.

Lawrence residents try the new Xbox 360 on display at E.B. Games in Lawrence Tuesday. Although the system hasnt been officially released, E.B. Games, Game Nutt and Buffalo Wild Wings will hold a demonstration featuring the newest system, along with door prizes and special offers, on Saturday at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1012 Massachusetts St.

the team scored 83, even with a sluggish performance by Kemp, who scored four points in 25 minutes of play. We dont want her to struggle like that ever again, Henrickson said. But its good to know that we have some kids with confidence that can come up and take shots and make shots. Eight players finished Sundays game with double-digit minutes on the court, down from 10 in the first preseason game. With the regular season starting Sunday at noon against Binghamton, Henrickson will have her first opportunity of the season to put an established rotation of players in place. Kansas guards will especially benefit from the increased depth because it will allow more of them on the court at a time. With having multiple guards out on the floor at one time, Erica and I feel like we are a lot harder to defend this year, Brown said. Brown has had a hot hand in preseason play, going 12-of-19 on field goals and scoring 28 points for the Jayhawks. Freshman guard Ivana Catic and junior guard Shaquina Mosley will continue to lead the offense. Catic assumed a more dominant role in the offense on Sunday, earning a spot in the starting lineup and playing for a team-high 31 minutes.

Leaders, high scores contribute to better offense

By Michael PhilliPs

mphillips@kansan.com
Fans who attended last years preseason womens basketball games might have thought Kansas was running the 3-2-1 offense throughout the games. That was the shot clock, Kansas womens basketball coach Bonnie Henrickson explained. Thats all I yelled most of the preseason last year. This year, Henrickson has spent less time yelling shot clock warnings and more time calling offensive plays for her team to execute. The offense that sputtered last year has taken off at full speed this season. The team scored 90 points to defeat Pittsburg State on Nov. 6 and 83 points in its other exhibition victory against Emporia State on Sunday. In the previous four years, the Jayhawks have scored 90 points in a game only twice and never under Henrickson. The key to the success of this years team has been variety. Last years team relied almost exclusively on senior guard Erica Hallman and senior forward Crystal Kemp to score points. On Sunday against Emporia State

Snyder to leave Wildcats after 17 years

Kellis RoBinett

krobinett@kansan.com

Kansas State has long road to dominance

When Bill Snyder announced his retirement Tuesday afternoon, it was official. Kansas States run as an upper-tier football program was finished. The Wildcats will never again be dominant. Not without the football coach who single-handedly changed Kansas State from the losingest football team in Division I history into a yearly contender for BCS bowl games. He meant too much to Kansas State, and it will never be able to replace him. Snyder was an anomaly. He was one of those coaches who athletic directors dreamed about. Not only was he one of the best coaches the Big 12 Conference has ever seen, but he was also loyal. Consistently leading Kansas State to bowl games was a Hall-of-Fame-type accomplishment. He could have gone anywhere once he made the Wildcats contenders, but he ignored every offer. When Kansas State hired him, he was simply bound and determined to make the Wildcats winners and stay in Manhattan for the rest of his life. Before the Snyder era, the Wildcats went to a bowl game once. Thats all. One measly trip to the Independence Bowl in 1982. Snyder, however, guided Kansas State to 11 straight bowl games his best being the Fiesta Bowls of 1997 and 2004.

Coach wants to spend more time with family

By Daniel BeRK

Kansan staFF writer

Kansas looks to continue its winning ways in College Station, Texas, tonight when it faces Texas A&M in a critical match for both teams. The Jayhawks and Aggies have had similar seasons. Both have had their struggles and are now peaking. Along with Iowa State, they are battling for sixth place in the Big 12 standings and a possible trip to the NCAA tournament. The three teams are separated by only one match in the standings, making tonights match-up that much more important. With three matches left, the Jayhawks have guaranteed themselves a winning record overall at 15-11. They need at least two more victories to improve their 710 conference record enough to make themselves attractive to the NCAA tournaments selection committee. Kansas volleyball coach

Ray Bechard stressed that his team must continue playing with a sense of urgency to make its postseason dream a reality. Theres five teams from our conference that are in comfortable shape for the NCAA tournament, and as good as our conference is, we think theyll go deeper than that if someone steps up and gives them a reason to do it, he said. The Jayhawks face a true test tonight at G. Rollie White Coliseum. The Aggies are 12-12 this season with a 5-10 conference record, but they are notoriously tough at home. From 2002 to 2004, the Aggies compiled a 38-7 record at home. Kansas has not defeated Texas A&M in College Station in 10 tries. Jayhawk sophomore opposite hitter Emily Brown spoke highly of the raucous crowds that support the Aggies.

MANHATTAN With his family near his side and his voice cracking, Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder announced his retirement effective after Saturdays season finale against Missouri. Snyder will call it quits after 17 years and 135 victories. He has won more games than any Kansas State coach and is seventh among active coaches in games won. Snyder said he was retiring so he could spend more time with his family and because he felt the timing was right for him to exit. I have not been the father or the husband I should have been, Snyder said. I dont know if I can correct that, but I am going to try. There are currently six head coaches in college football that have previously served under Snyder at Kansas State, including Kansas football coach Mark Mangino, who worked under Snyder from 1991 to 1998.

Mangino said Snyder had had a big impact on his coaching career. Coach Snyder has set a standard of excellence in college coaching that serves as a model for all of us, Mangino said. He has impacted the lives of many people, including mine. Im proud to have served on his staff for eight memorable seasons. In front of a packed room of reporters and Kansas State supporters, Snyder had to step back from the lectern on a couple different occasions to collect himself and his emotions. Snyder attributed a lot of different factors to his decision but said health was not one of them. He said he was completely healthy. Snyder said a factor other than his family was that the program has had two down years in a row, so expectations for the next coach will not be as high. He also said because the Wildcats were so young this season, a new coach would have a lot to work to do in the

next couple of years. I think the time is right because, first and foremost, its best for the university, Snyder said. I believe that sincerely. I think its a little easier now for someone to say the expectations are not going to be quite as great, and this can be a good program because there is a foundation. Kansas State will formally change the name of its stadium on Saturday from KSU Stadium to Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Snyder said Kansas State Athletic Director Tim Weiser asked him what he wanted the name of the stadium to be, and Snyder chose that name. Snyder will be mostly remembered for engineering one of the greatest turnarounds in college football history. Before Snyder arrived at Kansas State, the program took 52 seasons to win 134 games. In Snyders 17 years, the program has won 135 games. CoaCH on page 3B

Kansas mens golf coach Ross Randall announced Tuesday that Bobby Knowles will play for the Jayhawks next season. Knowles, an Omaha, Neb., native, was an honorable mention Rolex All-American. He was also named to the All-State team twice at Omahas Creighton Prep High School. We are really happy with the signing of Bobby, Randall said. He is a great player, a great student, and we think he will have a really bright future here at Kansas.

Jayhawks sign high-school star

LEWISBURG, Pa. Bucknell point guard Abe Badmus got tired talking about Kansas over the summer. People would say, Thats a good game. I said, I know, Badmus said. I really got tired of it because I was trying to get better for next season and people always brought me back. The new season arrives Fri-

day for Bucknell. Badmus and his teammates are eager to prove that last year wasnt a fluke. There is reason to be optimistic. Five starters return from a squad that finished 23-10, and 10-4 in the Patriot League last year. Bucknell stands a good a chance to repeat as conference champions and play meaningful games into at least mid-March. The Bison, though, face a tough nonconference schedule

that includes trips to No. 1 Duke, No. 16 Syracuse and DePaul, as well a home game against No. 5 Villanova. Bucknell players also know they will be upset targets themselves after beating Kansas. Im actually more excited about that, said senior guard Kevin Bettencourt. Its one thing being underdog, but theres something to be said about being a team that goes into a game and your opponents know that youre a good team.

A long way from home

1B They have a really good crowd thats really involved, she said. Its just a very good atmosphere. Its kind of like the Allen Fieldhouse of volleyball. On the court, Texas A&M is led by senior outside hitter Laura Jones. A preseason allconference selection, Jones tied a school record with 35 kills in a 3-2 victory over Kansas State on Saturday. She leads the Big 12 with 5.95 kills per game, more than an entire kill ahead of the next closest player. Against the Wildcats, Jones accounted for nearly half of her teams 74 kills. Brown said the key to victory against Texas A&M was clear: shut down Jones and you shut down the Aggies. Weve got to keep her under control, Brown said. If we can do that, we should be OK. If the Jayhawks win, they will be right in the middle of the postseason race again. If they lose, they will have dim hopes of staying alive with matches against Missouri and Iowa State remaining on their schedule. We just need to stay focused, Brown said. EditedbyKatieLohrenz

Downtown renovation under way

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Kansas Citys downtown redevelopment efforts received another boost Tuesday as a state board revised the tax breaks available for a basketball Hall of Fame and performing arts center. Mayor Kay Barnes, who pleaded for the tax incentives, pledged the state would be rewarded with tax-generating tourists attracted from across the nation. The Missouri Development Finance Board approved an extra $4 million in state income tax credits for the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, to be located at the new Sprint Center arena. It also granted more time for the city to make use of $25 million in state tax credits previously approved for a Metropolitan Kansas City Performing Arts Center.

1B I thought she made good decisions, Henrickson said. She takes good shots and makes the right passes off of penetration. While Henrickson said she was pleased with how the offense looked, she said there was still a lot of room to improve, especially with a young team. Weve got kids who can put the ball on the floor and should put the ball on the floor and make a play, she said. Weve got play-makers. Those play-makers made appearances in the two exhibition games, and now they prepare for regular season games with the goal of making unusually high scores the usual for Kansas.

Jeromey Clary, senior offensive tackle for the Wildcats, said Snyder addressed the team in the locker room Monday night and revealed his decision. Clary said that at first, he thought Snyder was going to tell them someone in the Kansas State family had died. But after Snyder told them he was leaving, Clary was shocked. I just sat in my locker with tears going down my face, Clary said. You feel like you could have done more for him while you were here. But he told us not to think about that. It will be great to play for him one more time this weekend, and the stadium will be electric. Weiser said he would not focus on picking a replacement for Snyder until after Saturdays game with Missouri. He said Snyder would be involved in picking his successor. Snyder said he would be happy to help Weiser in any way possible. Snyder also said that he and his family would be staying in Manhattan and that he some of the best college coaches Oklahomas Bob Stoops, Kansas Mark Mangino and Arizonas Mike Stoops were assistants under Snyder, none will leave their current head coaching jobs. That means an assistant coach will most likely be hired. One of the candidates might be able to come in and guide the Wildcats to the occasional winning season, but duplicating Snyders success will be impossible. K-State has become a national joke because of its nonconference scheduling, and the Wildcats have gotten away from playing teams that assure them three automatic victories. Academic requirements have also been raised for junior college transfers, so the new coach will have to focus more on high school seniors. Winning that battle will be difficult, especially now that Kansas football is on the rise. During the last three years, freshman quarterback Kerry Meier, freshman defensive lineman Caleb Blakesley and forwould still be involved with the athletics program. Snyders official title will be special assistant to the athletic director. Snyder talked with the media for about an hour and thanked everyone for their support of the program. When it was over, Snyder left the room to a loud ovation from reporters and supporters. Snyder went over and hugged his family. He then exited the room with his children and grandchildren by his side. I dont know how Ill deal with it, Snyder said. I really dont know. Im going to find out. In the last 12 hours or so Ive heard ample pieces of advice. A dear friend of mine told me if you are going to retire, you better retire to something. I dont know what Im retiring to, but then when I thought about it, I said, Thats silly, Im retiring to my family. Whatever else grows out of that, time will tell. Edited by Alison Peterson mer running back John Randle each premier high school recruits in the state of Kansas chose the Jayhawks over the Wildcats. But the biggest problem Snyders replacement will deal with is following Snyder. Wildcat faithful have grown accustomed to winning, and thats why a small amount of fans were pushing for Snyder to step down after two losing seasons. But they forget even Snyder was 1-10 in his first year on the job. He had no expectations and all the time in the world to turn Kansas State around, though. The next coach wont. If he struggles, he will be fired. If he succeeds, theres always the chance a more prestigious school will lure him away. No, there will never be another Snyder. Thats why you wont see K-State put together another run like it has during the past decade. FRobinett is an Austin, Texas, senior in journalism. He is Kansan sports editor.

First baseman ends Barry Bonds streak

NEW YORK Albert Pujols won his first National League MVP award, defeating Andruw Jones in a close vote Tuesday. The St. Louis Cardinals first baseman ended Barry Bonds four-year winning streak, receiving 18 first-place votes and 14 seconds for 378 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Jones, the Atlanta Braves center fielder, got 13 firstplace votes, 17 seconds and two thirds for 351 points. Chicago Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee got the other first-place vote and was third with 263 points. Its awesome when you hear people compare yourself with Barry, Pujols said. Pujols was second in the NL with a .330 average, five points behind Lee, and hit 41 homers, trailing only Jones, 51, and Lee, 46. Pujols tied for second in RBIs with 117, 11 behind Jones. He played in 161 of 162 regular-season games despite being bothered nearly the entire season by plantar fasciitis, a heel injury that he also felt in 2004. There were some times when I got out of bed, I had to sit up before I jumped out of bed because it was bothering me so bad, he said. The 25-year-old Pujols has put up remarkable statistics in his first five major league seasons, averaging 40 homers and 124 RBIs to go with a .332 average. He was third behind Bonds and Adrian Beltre in last years MVP voting after finishing fourth as a rookie in 2001 and second to Bonds the following two seasons. Bonds missed most of this year with a knee injury after winning the award four straight times to increase his total MVPs to a record seven. Jones led the major leagues in home runs for the Braves, and batted .263. He has won eight straight Gold Gloves. I think he deserved it. He was the right choice, Jones said. He had the most solid season average-wise, home run-wise and RBI-wise. The Cardinals led the majors with 100 victories this season and breezed to the Central title. Pujols was the driving force on a team

1B In Snyders first season as head coach, Kansas State limped to a 1-10 finish. Next season, Snyder endured another losing season, but this time at 5-6. One year later, in 1991, Kansas State won seven games for the first time in 37 years, and Snyder was named Associated Press Big Eight Coach of the Year and was named National Coach of the Year by ESPN. In 1993, Kansas State went 9-2-1 and earned a trip to the Copper Bowl. It was just the second bowl appearance ever by the Wildcats. It would mark the first of 11 straight postseason appearances for Kansas State. In all, Snyders accomplishments are long and impressive. They include 11 winning seasons, four Big 12 North Division titles and one Big 12 Championship. Snyder also coached 45 All-America selections and 42 NFL draft picks.

Albert Pujols, first baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals, was selected as the National Leagues Most Valuable Player by the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday. He was the Cardinals first MVP since 1985 and ended Barry Bonds four-year winning streak. that lost Scott Rolen and other key players to injuries. Atlanta went 90-72 and won its 14th straight division championship. Jones was the only Braves player with more than 21 homers or 78 RBIs. Pujols, who gets a $200,000 bonus, won the 15th MVP award for the Cardinals, the first since Willie McGee in 1985. By finishing third, Lee triggered a $750,000 increase in his next 2006 base salary to $8.75 million. Florida first baseman Carlos Delgado, who was sixth, earned five points toward the 30 he needed by the end of 2008 to guarantee a $16 million salary in 2009. He would get 10 points for winning the MVP, 20 if he was a World Series MVP and 10 if he was a league championship series MVP.

1B In 1998 he even had Kansas State one victory away from playing for the national title but lost to Texas A&M in the Big 12 Championship. The formula he used to build his program was epic. Every year, he scheduled three of the worst nonconference opponents around and used those easy victories to qualify for bowl eligibility. He heavily recruited junior college players, and while his freshmen were developing, he had juco athletes such as Michael Bishop, a quarterback who guided the Wildcats to 11 victories in 1998, and Quincy Morgan, a wide receiver now with the Dallas Cowboys, ready to play at a high level. But that system wont work for whomever Kansas State Athletic Director Tim Weiser hires as Snyders successor. All reports say Weiser is looking for replacements within the K-State family tree, and though

Stone saves face; lawsuit dismissed

LOS ANGELES Lawyers reached a settlement in a lawsuit filed last December by Sharon Stone, a lawyer said on Tuesday. Stones complaint accused a Beverly Hills doctor of implying that he had performed cosmetic surgery on her, The lawsuit stated that Stone had never undergone a face-lift. Stone, 47, accepted an offer by Dr. Renato Calabria to perform several charity surgeries for underprivileged children involved in her philanthropic efforts, said Kevin Leichter, Calabrias lawyer. It became plain to all parties that the lawsuit was the result of a misunderstanding, Leichter said. The lawsuit was dismissed Monday, he said.

Gritty dime novels feature 50 Cent

NEW YORK 50 Cent will again turn his reality into fiction with a line of hip-hop novellas and graphic novels featuring his former G-Unit rap crew, a publisher announced. Pocket/MTV Books promised the venture would showcase gritty stories much of the same terrain as 50 Cents raps. These tales will tell the truth about The Life; the sex, guns and cash; the brutal highs and short lives of the players on the streets, the publisher said.

t horoscopes The Stars Show the Kind of Day Youll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2005: You have a way of creating a lot of what you want this year, but a partner or associate could also be instrumental in making what you want happen. The unexpected occurs when you least expect it, though with your enormous imagination and ingenuity you use this jackin-the box phenomenon to take you in new directions. Use each obstacle as a positive event. If you are single, you wont be able to complain about boredom. You might hope to have some stability in a relationship, but excitement seems to punctuate that area of your life. If you are attached, you can expect more love, caring and luck as a couple. Enjoy. ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Your words and actions make sense. Others listen and follow through on your instructions and ideas. Only, you have a second thought that might take you down another path! You have a rather poignant insight that might make you rethink your actions and words. Tonight: Talk through this new perspective with someone you consider wise. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH Dealings with others revolve around finances and different ways of handling them. The direction a meeting leads you in might surprise you. Allow greater give-and-take in ideas. Give up being stubborn. Tonight: Gather your bills together. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH With the Moon in your sign, what you say and do has a greater impact. On the other hand, your innate tendencies emerge. Look at what you can create. Use your high energy positively. Tonight: Your wish is anothers command. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH The less said, the happier everyone will be, including you. You might find that closing your door and focusing on your own projects is the best way to go. Get as much done by yourself as you can OK? Tonight: Vanish completely. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Though your sign normally has a strong sense of direction, its increased presence in a meeting proves inspiring to nearly everyone. A partner could surprise you with his or her twist on events. Tonight: Where the gang is. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH You might need to take charge, whether you want to or not. You can only do what you are capable of giving 100 percent. You will find that asking for help could bring surprising alternative views. Tonight: Late. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your ideas might be a bit extreme, but theyre quite ingenious. Others might have a difficult time understanding your thoughts. Demonstrate rather than talk. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Say less and do more. Tonight: Experiment with a different approach. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You might want to discuss a problem with a partner, but the occasion might not present itself. Think positively, and you might like the results. Work with another person, trusting that he or she will understand your ideas. Tonight: Talk till the wee hours. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You need to go along with others ideas, whether you agree or not. People need to see the end results of their ideas. Let them. A change on the home front or in your perspective is likely, too. Tonight: Say yes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Dig in to work, but dont be surprised by some disruptions. You need to establish your space. Feel free to ask questions. Your routine could change radically. Learn to work with each situation individually. Tonight: Pick up some DVDs. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH A risk might be too tempting to say no to. The long-term ramifications might not enter your mind as you face temptation. To say yes or to say no that is the question. Or rather, do you have some self-discipline? Tonight: Be your playful self. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You are an unpredictable force in what could be a calm, sedate day. Did we say that? As far as you are concerned, you are already ready for the weekend. Please use some selfdiscipline and handle key matters first. Tonight: At home.

Kansas has another week and a half to prepare for its contest against Iowa State. Kansas is 5-0 at home this year, so if thats any indication, it should have a good chance to top Iowa State.

One last try for bowl game play

By Ryan Colaianni

Kansan staff writer

It all boils down to one game. At 5-5, the Kansas football team needs to win against Iowa State on Nov. 26 in order to qualify for postseason play. Its important for us to be ready, said Kansas football coach Mark Mangino. Its our last opportunity to make ourselves eligible for postseason play. Its an important game for our team, for our seniors who have worked so hard. Kansas had a chance to qualify last week if it had defeated Texas, but instead the team produced its worst defensive performance of the year by allowing more than

600 yards of total offense. The Jayhawks lost the game 66-14. Kansas senior quarterback Jason Swanson said he didnt think his team would be focused on last weeks defeat while preparing to face Iowa State. This team is really good at letting losses go. Weve been in positions before when weve lost games, Swanson said after the game Saturday. This is a loss. It doesnt matter what the points are its still an L. Well be putting it behind us by the time we get on the bus. Mangino emphasized that the team now had a one-game season. For the next two weeks, all we are interested in talking about and focusing on is Iowa

Senior quarterback Jason Swanson tries to get rid of the ball with Texas senior defensive tackle Rodrique Wright in pursuit. Swanson passed for 148 yards and one interception during the loss against Texas in Austin. The Jayhawks have this weekend off before facing Iowa State on Nov. 26 at Memorial Stadium.
