Part of the U.S. Secretary of
Educations new plan for higher
education may not sit well with KU
administrators.
Secretary of Education Margaret
Spellings outlined her vision in a
speech to the National Press Club on
Tuesday. Among her key ideas was
using data on student performance
as a way of holding colleges and uni-
versities accountable for what their
students are learning. Some fear this
goal could lead to the creation of a
national standardized exam for all
students graduating from a four-year
institution.
I think theres some belief that that
is what shes talking about, though
she hasnt come out and said it, said
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, vice
provost for academic affairs.
McCluskey-Fawcett said she
thought Spellings might advocate an
exam because it would be an exten-
sion of the ideas in the No Child
Left Behind Act, which Spellings sup-
ports.
Both McCluskey-Fawcett and
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said
they would not support a national
exam if it judged all institutions by
the same criteria.
I think it would go against the
strengths of American universities,
Hemenway said. I think one of the
great strengths of the higher edu-
cation in the United States and in
Kansas is the diversity of it.
Jim Lichtenberg, associate dean of
the School of Education, agreed that
measuring all schools the same way
would not be an effective way of judg-
ing student success.
I think colleges and universities
have different missions and students
have different choices in their majors
and the classes they take, Lichtenberg
said.
Lichtenberg said important parts
of a students personal development,
like maturity and critical thinking,
would go undocumented in a nation-
al exam.
If an exam is not proposed and the
only requirement of Spellingss plan
is that schools report their own mea-
sures of student success, Hemenway
said the University would welcome
the opportunity.

Former Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright will discuss the
rel at i onshi p
between reli-
gion and poli-
tics when she
speaks at 8 p.m.
tonight at the
Lied Center.
S t e v e n
Jacques, associ-
ate director of
the Robert. J. Dole Institute
of Politics, said he would interview
Albright for the first half of the pro-
gram, An Evening with Madeleine
Albright. He said he would start with
her recently released book, Mighty
and the Almighty: Reflections on
America, God and World Affairs.
Jacques will also ask questions
about international affairs, including
Iraq and the Middle East. He said a
lot of his questions would focus on
recent news headlines. The second
half of the program will feature ques-
tions from audience members, he
said.
Marc Langston, president of Young
Democrats, said he expected Albright
to discuss issues in the Middle East,
terrorism and how America respond-
ed and how it could have been better
after the terrorist attacks on Sept.
11, 2001.
I would like her to answer if
she believes there could ever be two
sovereign states within Israel and
Palestine, Langston said.
Albright was the nations first
female Secretary of State and one
of the highest-ranking women
in the history of the United States
government. She served as the 64th
Secretary of State from 1997 to
2001, during the Clinton adminis-
tration. She was a member of for-
mer President Clintons Cabinet and
National Security Council for eight
years. Albright also served as the
U.S. Permanent Representative to the
United Nations from 1993 to 1997.
Albright is a professor in the prac-
tice of diplomacy at the Georgetown
School of Foreign Service, chair-
woman of the National Democratic
Institute for International Affairs and
a principal in The Albright Group
LLC, a global strategy firm.
The event is sponsored by the
Dole Institute. After the program,
she will sign copies of her new book
in the Lied Center lobby. The book is
about the role of religion in American
government. In the book, she exam-
ines Islamic fundamentalism and
the role religion plays in the White
House. Albright also is the best-sell-
ing author of Madam Secretary: A
Memoir.
Jacques said tickets went quickly
for the program but additional tick-
ets will become available at the Lied
Center on the evening of the event at
7:45 p.m. Tickets are free. Doors will
open at 7 p.m., and the discussion
will begin at 8 p.m.

Its pushing 7 on a balmy
Tuesday morning and Jimmy
Aldridge is huddled over a heap-
ing plate of steaming hot eggs,
biscuits and gravy and a cup of
coffee.
Aldridge, a Lawrence resi-
dent, is enjoying the only nutri-
tious plate of food he might get all
week. Aldridge waits all week to
spend his Tuesday morning eating
breakfast at Jubilee Caf, a free
breakfast program for the home-
less. Aldridge, who just found a
home a few months ago, said he
once felt alienated because he was
homeless. Jubilee Caf gave him
the food and friendship he needed
to keep going.
I know I can come in and see
a lot of my friends and eat a nutri-
tious breakfast and that means a
lot, Aldridge said.
Starting today, Jubilee Caf will
begin its fall Breakfast for Dinner
program. From now until the end
of the semester, Jubilee Caf will
offer plates of breakfast food for $5
to hungry students and commu-
nity members every Wednesday
night from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Paige Blair, Jubilee Caf co-
coordinator and Chicago junior,
said the program was the main
fundraiser to keep the program
running. Jubilee Caf once relied
on concession stands sales from
University of Kansas athletic
events to raise money, but would
concentrate solely on the Breakfast
for Dinner events this year.
In January, the National
Homeless Coalition named
Lawrence the second meanest city
in the country to homeless peo-
ple. The volunteers at Jubilee Caf

Yi is a computer engineering

I want to go into software pro-

After he graduates, Yi wants to go

Some problems, however, can be
solved by the student without the
hassle of making a phone call to
ResNet,
If you read through the Web site,
there are a lot of useful tips that can
help avoid a problem, Yi said. We
are here to help though, if you call
obviously needing help, we can do
that.

Teddy bear accidentally
kills thousands of trout
MILFORD, N.H. A teddy bear
has been implicated in 2,500
deaths trout deaths, that is.
State of cials say a teddy bear
that fell into a pool at a Fish and
Game Department hatchery earlier
this month clogged a drain. The
clog blocked the fow of oxygen to
the pool and sufocated the fsh.
Hatcheries supervisor Robert
Fawcett said the bear, dressed in
yellow raincoat and hat, is believed
to be the frst stufed toy to cause
fatalities at the facility.
Weve had pipes get clogged,
but its usually with more naturally
occurring things like a frog or even
a dead muskrat, he said. This one
turned out to be a teddy bear and
we dont know how it got there.
The deaths prompted Fawcett
to release a written warning:
RELEASE OF ANY TEDDY BEARS
into the fsh hatchery water IS NOT
PERMITTED.
He said its not known who
dropped the bear, but urged
anyone whose bear ends up in
a hatchery pool to fnd a worker
to remove it. They might save
your teddy bear, and keep it from
becoming a killer, he said.

The mother thought the car was
stolen and quickly called 911, said
Police Chief John Wainman. Of -
cers investigating the case learned
that the car had been repossessed.
Police contacted the repo com-
pany, and the girl was returned to

The city commission meet-
ing room was filled to half capacity
Tuesday as members of the Lawrence
Coalition for Peace and Justice waited
to discuss a proposed referendum.
Amid criticism from both support-
ers and denouncers, the Lawrence
City Commission unanimously
decided to deny a referendum to
place an opinion vote on Novembers
election ballot.
The coalition initially brought its
proposal before the city commission
last Tuesday.
During that meeting, Allan
Hanson, a member of the coalition,
stood before the five members of the
commission and the mayor and deliv-
ered an impassioned speech about
the need to vote on a community
opinion about whether the United
States should withdraw its forces
from Iraq.
Hanson, reading from a prepared
statement, declared the war in Iraq the
most important issue facing America
today. Hanson said the coalition was
not asking the commission to take
a personal stand on the issue. He
requested the commission only place
the poll question on the ballot for
Nov. 7.
The coalition cited warrantless
wire taps and citizens held without
charges as reasons why the voice of
the people needs to be heard.
As each commission member gave
his opinion at last nights meeting,
some coalition members listened
with mouths agape. Others simply
stared down at their feet until the five
members had their say.
Hard debate came from those in
attendance.
Anne Haehl, who is a member of
the coalition and whose father and
son are both veterans, spoke about
her concern for the military occupa-
tion of Iraq.
Im proud of our soldiers, sailors
and marines and our veterans, she
said. One of our proudest traditions
is our military is subordinate to the
citizens.
Haehl said she thought it was the
communitys responsibility to judge
and question what the military is
doing. This vote, she said, would have
been an excellent way to let politicians
know their constituents opinions.
Jerome Hanson, Lawrence resi-
dent, said he was opposed to the
proposition because it could set a
precedent for any person who was
upset about something to get a bal-
lot made.
This issue has a lot of heartstrings
that are going to pulled in different
directions, Hanson said. Were mis-
takes made? It looks like there may
well have been mistakes made. But we
will have no effect on a federal level.
City commissioner Mike Rundle
said he was opposed to voicing the
publics opinion through an official
ballot and recommended adopting an
official mechanism to treat advisory
elections.
Dennis Boog Highberger, city
commissioner, was equally skeptical
of the vote. He said it wasnt about
the commissions opinion on Iraq,
but about the proper way to bring the
citys opinion to the federal govern-
ment. Both commissioners Sue Hack
and David Schauner voiced similar
opinions.
I hope people dont take this to
mean we feel that the loss of life is not
a difficult thing for all of us to bear,
Hack said. I just dont think this is
the appropriate way to go about it.
Mayor Mike Amyx said he would
take the coalitions concerns to
Washington, D.C., when the com-
mission visits next month.
Hanson said the coalition has
plans to continue its quest for an
official public opinion. He said they
were not ready to publicly discuss
what they were going to do until they
had time to digest the decision of
Tuesdays meeting.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. A federal judge has temporari-
ly suspended Kentuckys law forbidding protests within
300 feet of military funerals and memorial services.
U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell said Tuesday that
the law goes too far in limiting free speech. The law
aimed at Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, which is
known for its anti-gay protests, is too broad, the judge
said in issuing an injunction.
The zone is large enough that it would restrict
communications intended for the general public on a
matter completely unrelated to the funeral as well as
messages targeted at funeral participants, Caldwell
wrote in a 37-page ruling issued in Frankfort.
Earlier this year, the Kentucky General Assembly
passed the law prohibiting nearly all protests at military
funerals.
Kentucky Attorney General Greg Stumbo said he
was considering an appeal.
I believe that society has an interest in honoring
its war dead. Funerals are times of sacred and solemn
reflection which must be protected from aggressive
disruption, Stumbo said in a statement.
State Sen. Tom Buford, R-Nicholasville, one of the
sponsors of the law, said the 300-foot barrier is the
same buffer zone used to keep people from campaign-
ing at voting precincts during elections.
It would seem we want to give at least as much rev-
erence to a funeral as we do an election, Buford said.
It seems like a sad day for our military.
Caldwell said the buffer zone would stop more than
just protesters from speaking it could restrict free
speech rights in homes and on sidewalks and streets.

LOS ANGELES An Army medic who fled rather
than serve a second tour in Iraq because he believes war
is immoral turned himself in Tuesday to face a possible
court-martial.
Army Spec. Agustin Aguayo, 34, turned himself
in around 6 p.m. at Fort Irwin, an Army base in the
Mojave Desert northeast of Los Angeles, said Army
spokesman Ken Drylie.
It is the right thing to do, said Aguayo at a news
conference in Los Angeles hours before going to the
base. Im not a deserter or a coward.
Aguayo said he expected to face a court martial and
some jail time.
Its something I can live with, he said. Something I
cant live with is being a participant of war anymore.
Aguayo has unsuccessfully fought the Pentagon for
more than two years to be declared a conscientious
objector and win a discharge.

My feeling is that we should
never be afraid of accountability,
Hemenway said.
McCluskey-Fawcett said the
University already does enormous
amounts of data collection for its
own outcome assessments. Those
results are reported to the Kansas
Board of Regents.
The difference between the
internal assessments and a stan-
dardized exam, she said, is that
each university in the state shapes
its own performance goals. Among
the data the University collects is
research productivity and student
participation in programs like the
Research Experience Program and
the Global Awareness Program.
Thats been a sensible way to
enforce it, McCluskey-Fawcett
said.

wont let this designation stand, so
theyre working to serve more food
with a side of dignity to the citys
homeless.
Blair said she hoped the fund-
raiser would inspire more people to
get involved in changing Lawrences
status as the second meanest city.
Jubilee Caf breaks down some
of the stigma between the homeless
and the rest of the community, Blair
said. We serve them and they are
treated with dignity. Student volun-
teers benefit from the compassion
that comes with having a face and
a name with someone who you are
eating breakfast with instead of just
passing them on the street.
Blair said the fundraiser would
allow more students to contribute
who wouldnt normally be able to
make it to Jubilee Cafs early morn-
ing breakfasts. Jubilee Caf operates
Tuesday and Friday mornings from
6 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at First United
Methodist Church, 946 Vermont St.
Will Bohne, financial director
for Jubilee Caf and Leavenworth
senior, said the fundraiser would
help Jubilee Caf buy more food and
a new dishwasher. Bohne said the
program operated exactly like a real
restaurant, right down to the menus
and servers who greet the crowd
gathered outside of the church in the
mornings.
A cook calls out orders from the
kitchen while student volunteers
hustle around the dining room to
serve the hungry visitors. Once all
the food is on the tables, the student
volunteers sit down to listen to the
stories of the homeless.
Not only do the visitors benefit
from the company and the free meal,
but the student volunteers said they
receive just as much back from those
they serve. Erica Fishel, St. Louis
senior, said the program has given
her a greater perspective on issues
within the community.
Ive come face-to-face with peo-
ple who are fighting the slippery
slope of poverty and Ive gained an
appreciation for the opportunities
Ive been given, Fishel said.
Aldridge said the people and the
food are what keep him coming back
to Jubilee Caf every week.
You cant get food this good in
Lawrence even if you pay for it,
Aldridge said. The food and the

Student Senate and The
University Daily Kansan are dis-
cussing the idea of teaming up to
develop a program that would pro-
vide coupons to students via text
messages on their mobile phones.
Student Senate originally planned
to present a resolution at tonights
Senate meeting to form a contract
with the company Mobile Campus.
After learning the Kansan had part-
nered with the company Textcaster
in April 2006 for a similar program,
it was decided to table the resolu-
tion and look for a way to make the
two programs work together.
Its at least worth checking out
to see if the two are symbiotic,
Jenny Weaver, sales and marketing
adviser for the Kansan, said.
She said Student Senate and the
Kansan would be sending different
sets of messages to students and
combining the services would only
work if they could find a way to
meet the needs of both groups.
Mel Horen, Overland Park
senior and vice president of Student
Senate, said the program Student
Senate had originally envisioned
would allow student groups to use
the system as a listserv to send out
messages to group members free
of charge.
Weaver said the Kansans original
service would have been available as
early as November but that it would
now be delayed until negotiations
with Senate were completed.
Students would not pay to sub-
scribe to the service, but normal
text messaging rates would apply.
This gives the advertiser an
opportunity to connect with stu-
dents every day in a cool way,
Weaver said.
Sarah Hams, Overland Park
senior, said she sends about 80 text
messages per month with her mobile
phone and that text messaging was a
good source of communication for
students.
Hams said she didnt always have
access to other such forms of adver-
tising as newspapers and that text
messaging would be more conve-
nient.
Hams said she would only be
willing to use the service if it was
free of charge so that she could
maintain a low phone bill.
Mobile Campus is already in
place at other schools, includ-
ing the University of Florida and
The University of Texas at Austin.
Textcaster is in use at Arizona State
University and Central Missouri
State University.

ATLANTA Happy that new
security rules have cleared their
liquids and gels for takeoff, air trav-
elers presented small, clear plastic
bags filled with toiletries for inspec-
tion Tuesday, but long lines grew at
some airports as others confused
about the changes filled trash cans
with containers that were too large.
Most toiletries can be in contain-
ers no larger than 3 ounces, and
they must be zipped up in plastic
bags that are quart-sized or smaller.
Those limits threw off passengers
who scrambled at security check-
points to toss out bottles of shaving
cream and hand lotion or to find
the proper plastic bags.
Its an inconvenience, said
Ginni Dewbray, whose husband
finally found a bag to carry a small
bottle of lotion after asking several
fellow travelers in a security line
at Chicagos OHare International
Airport.
If theyre going to stand there
and ask you to have plastic bags,
they should give them out. Theyre
not that expensive, she said.
Trash bins outside airport securi-
ty checkpoints filled up with forbid-
den items, though not as much as
they did last month when a broader
ban was put in place. Many travel-
ers were grateful for the relaxed
rules, which allow them to carry
drinks, makeup and other items on
board their flights.
Some items are permitted in
any amount: saline solution, eye
drops and prescription and non-
prescription medicine, accord-
ing to Transportation Security
Administration spokesman
Christopher White.
Drinks, liquids and gels pur-
chased in airport stores inside secu-
rity checkpoints can be carried into
passenger cabins. Baby formula is
allowed but must be inspected.
The rules replace an outright
ban on liquids, lotions and gels
ordered Aug. 10 after an alleged
plot to bomb U.S.-bound jetliners
was foiled.
TSA chief Kip Hawley said the
stricter ban is no longer needed,
and that he was pleased Tuesdays
transition to the new rules went as
smoothly as it did.
Airport retailers were thrilled
at the news, and some had already
begun stocking up on plastic, zip-
top bags. The Paradies Shops, an
Atlanta-based company with more
than 500 stores in 60 airports across
the U.S. and Canada, will hand out
clear plastic bags to customers for
free.
By 8 a.m., a trash bin at a check-
point in Atlanta was 3 feet deep
with water bottles and 16-ounce
containers of toiletries, including
shaving gel and hand lotion. But
TSA officials there were going easy
on travelers the first day of the
new rules, allowing them to carry
proper-sized toiletries in gallon-
sized plastic bags.

GUEST COMMENTARY
What if college students had
to take an exam mandated by the
federal government?
If lawmakers adopt the
Department of Educations rec-
ommendations, this scenario
could become a part of college
curricula.
The department wants
increased accountability for col-
leges as they attempt to educate
students, according to a recent
report from the Commission on
the Future of Higher Education.
But the No Child Left Behind-
like recommendation would
inconvenience students, who
should be working harder any-
way.
The report recommends that
the federal government provide
incentives for states to use the
exams. The report gives several
examples of tests colleges could
use, including the Collegiate
Learning Assessment, a test
already administered to students
at 134 colleges and universities.
The test compares knowledge
accumulated between freshman
and senior years and evaluates
students critical thinking, ana-
lytic reasoning and written com-
munication rather than mul-
tiple choice questions.
Students already take enough
tests. If students fail to make
progress in their college years,
thats not entirely a universitys
fault; students should shoulder
the blame.
Average prose literacy has
decreased for all levels of educa-
tional accomplishment between
1992 and 2003 and only 66 per-
cent of full-time four-year stu-
dents complete a degree in six
years, according to the report.
College students have to
make a better effort. Or the fed-
eral government, with its inept
bureaucracy, will grade us.
Steve Lynn for the editorial
board
The Kansas Highway Patrol now
has several unmarked police cars
driving normal routes on the road.
I dont think this should become
common practice of our law
enforcement.
While I know this may sound
like a gripe, its not. I have respect
for our law enforcement and believe
that they should be allowed to use
whatever means at their disposal to
enforce the law. I do think they are
beginning to overstep their bound-
aries.
The major purpose for having
unmarked police cars on the road
is to catch people speeding and
other minor infractions. While I
recognize this as part of their job, I
think the duty of our law enforce-
ment officials is much greater than
that. They protect us. They help us
in emergencies. The police are not
glorified meter-maids.
Im worried that you think Ive
been burned by an unmarked police
car. I will admit I was stopped once
by one. I was let off with a warning
and the officer thought it was funny
that I followed him for about 20
miles without realizing who he was.
When I finally went to pass him I
went a little over the limit.
Im not a speed demon. I dont
drive recklessly and I dont break
the law any more than your average
Joe Six-Pack. I just want to be able
to feel safe knowing that the guy in
an unmarked car without a uniform
that just pulled my girlfriend over
isnt some serial rapist. And when
my girlfriend learns about him
being a serial rapist I dont want
her to play a life-or-death game of
Wheres Waldo trying to find a
cop.
Im not saying I dont believe
there isnt a time and place for
undercover cops. I just think there
is a better use for our law enforce-
ment. I would rather undercover
cops do more important things than
trying to fool people on the road.
They need to be doing important
cop things. Like commandeering
civilian vehicles and hanging off
that little part underneath the heli-
copter that they use to land.

I simply cannot imagine being
born into an earlier era of U.S. his-
tory in which the political rights
and ambitions of women were
seriously constrained. Yet, until
womens equal participation in all
parts of society is achieved, victory
cannot be claimed. In almost any
given career, the higher up in an
organizations hierarchy, the fewer
women one will encounter.
If you happen to lack a Y chro-
mosome, do not lose hope. We
simply need to follow the path
of those remarkable women who
began the arduous task of shatter-
ing glass ceilings. Ladies, to become
this generations next world leaders,
we must seek role models in these
female pioneers who had enough
determination to reconstruct social
attitudes of what constitutes a male
or female job.
As a woman with career aspira-
tions in the male-operated world
of foreign relations, there is one
particular woman of whom I am
in awe: Former Secretary of State
Madeleine Korbel Albright. She
was the first female Secretary of
State and thus the most powerful
woman in the U.S. government (and
arguably in the world) during the
Clinton administration.
Her story is one of perseverance
and accomplishment, and it raises
aspirations of what a woman can
now achieve. She was born in 1937
in Prague, where her family first
fled from the Nazis, and later from
communism. She came to the U.S.
in 1948 and by the time she was
about our age, she was multi-lin-
gual, an undergraduate in political
science at Wellesley, and a citizen
of the United States. She went on to
attain an assortment of degrees and
distinguished positions while also
balancing motherhood.
Beginning in 1993, she served
for four years as U.S. permanent
representative to the United Nations
and was then sworn in as the 64th
secretary of state on January 23,
1997. During her tenure, she helped
change the course of history and
made the advancement of women
one of her central foreign policy
goals.
The visibility of Albright as a
strong, effective secretary of state
has also helped to accustom the
populace to become more comfort-
able with females in other power
positions. Surely, the concept of
a woman president is no longer
equated with some naive feminist
illusion as it might have been just
a decade ago. Furthermore, her
ultimate American Dream success
story, from refugee to highest rank-
ing women in the United States, is
also an inspiration for the immi-
grants who sacrifice everything to
seek opportunities in the United
States.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said,
The future belongs to those who
believe in the beauty of their
dreams. Madeleine Albright did
just that. Will you?
Former Secretary Madeleine
Albright will be speaking tonight at
the Lied Center at 8 p.m. For more

After returning from a year in
Amsterdam, where the right of way
is given to bikes first, then pedestri-
ans and lastly to cars, I am horrified
by American drivers but those in
Lawrence especially.
As Ive been observing from my
porch and biking around Lawrence
for the past few weeks, it seems that
drivers are not paying attention to
the array of obstacles that may be
on the road, like bikers, kids run-
ning around and people crossing
the road.
The most recent and obvi-
ous case of this problem is the
tragic and unnecessary death of KU
senior Ryan Kanost. Ive been talk-
ing about this for weeks with my
friends, but I thought I should ask
the rest of the University: Where
are you going thats so important
and worth jeopardizing someones
life to get there on time? If it is so
important, why didnt you leave a
few minutes earlier?
Remember, cars are huge
machines that WILL hurt or kill
people if you drive into them. Its
not that complicated. When we
become so automatic about driving
and forget that Lawrence isnt I-70,
we jeopardize people living around
here including a lot of kids
and accidents happen.

The Free for All has hit rock bot-
tom, and we need look no further
than The Kansans own staff to see
why.
Last Wednesdays Kansan
featured an apology from editor
Jonathan Kealing stating that he had
considered removing the section
entirely because of recent events,
but for the time being it would
remain a place where we as students
could tell jokes. Tell stories. State
opinions. Laugh with friends. Vent
your frustration. Kealing chastised
us for having done otherwise, and
told us how the Free for All will
be put before at least four persons
before going to print, in order to be
more closely edited.
Oddly enough, more editing is
the last thing the Free for All needs.
Started in the early 90s, The
Kansans Free for All was one of the
first of its kind. While not the first
newspaper to feature an opinion
line, it was a fresh idea. Instead of
folks having to sit down and write a
full opinion piece with their names,
they could simply call in and say
what they believed needed to be
said.
Then people began to take
short-and-sweet and turn it into
punch-lines only. The problem
was that The Kansan encouraged
this, by beginning to only print the
jokes. Soon the Free for All began to
resemble a junior high chat room of
quick potty-mouthed jabs.
Imagine for just a moment that
the Free for All was more than
Chuck Norris jokes. Have you
ever wondered why its called an
opinion line or why someone
would need 20 seconds to say, I
got wasted last night? The Kansans
institutional memory is as short
as one students trip through this
University four, maybe five short
years.
In the four years Ive been here,
I have yet to see someones 20
seconds worth of commentary be
placed in the Free for All. I would
have summarized this in a phone
call, myself, if I believed the fellow
listening to the phone wouldnt have
axed it. So my challenge is two-fold:
Kansan: You dont need four
more eyes to butcher the comments,
but instead an adult to listen to the
phones and write down all the wor-
thy ones. Hell, Ill do it for you, as
long as you promise to give the Free
for All space to print the opinions.
My fellow students: Call the Free
for All, and say whatever it is youre
thinking, taking as much of those
20 seconds as needed. Whether its
appropriate or not, hopefully The
Kansans opinion editors (be they
one or four in number) will put
out the best. So well get the smart-
est comments on campus, be they
funny or serious, important or light.
Its time to remember the point
of this device to find out what
Jayhawks are thinking about their
campus and the world.

I understand The University Daily
Kansan is a teaching publication, but
I am saddened at the lack of quality
that has plagued the paper so far this
semester. Front page headlines have
obvious mistakes and articles are
poorly written and confusing.
Are not students still required to
take two semesters each of reporting
and editing before they are allowed
to work on The Kansan? Are there
not copy chiefs and general editors
who read everything before it is
published? Has the quality of the
journalism school declined so much
that I am ashamed to be a graduate
of the program?

Volunteers help children in African orphanage
Photo courtesy of Rebekah Heacock
Rebekah Heacock, 2006 graduate, spends time with children fromthe Hope Integrity Orphanage in Uganda. Heacock and Heather Backer, also a 2006 graduate, left earlier this month and will spend about a year teaching English to children and
volunteering in the area.
by Matt Erickson
Although two graduates accepted
jobs and relocated to another conti-
nent, they wont actually be making
any money. Their new job will actually
cost them up to $6,000 each in airfare
and living expenses. In return, they
will experience the excitement of a new
culture and the satisfaction of helping
the needy.
Rebekah Heacock and Heather
Baker, 2006 graduates, moved to
Kampala, Uganda, to volunteer at the
Hope Integrity Orphanage.
Heacock and Baker, along with
Bakers boyfriend, Collin Hamel of
Lawrence, left Sept. 4 for Uganda.
Heacock will live in Uganda for a year,
while Baker and Hamel will live there
for nine months.
Im going because I knew that I
wanted to give my life somehow to peo-
ple who are impoverished, and I wanted
to do it in a very tangible, physical way,
Baker said. I felt like there was a great
need, and I was available.
The women, along with 90 children,
live at the orphanage in the southeast-
ern capital city of Kampala.
I wanted to go over and have some
actual experience with kids whove
been through (the war), and come back
and say, This is what they told me,
Heacock said.
Baker and Heacock will serve as men-
tors and teach the children English.
Heacock wants to start a rehabilita-
tive drama program to help children
deal with hardships from their pasts by
acting them out.
I want to share everything I have,
like my ability to speak English and
my college degree, with the children,
she said.
Baker, who earned her degree in
music education, will also teach music
and Bible classes.
About one-third to one-half of
the children at Hope Integrity come
from the war-torn northern region of
Uganda, Heacock said. Some were child
soldiers in the civil war in northern
Uganda.
War has raged in northern Uganda
for more than 20 years. During this
time, a rebel group known as the Lords
Resistance Army has abducted about
25,000 children to fill its ranks, accord-
ing to Oxfam International.
Though the LRA agreed to leave the
country as part of a cease-fire agree-
ment reached last month, many in
Uganda still are scarred by the effects
of the conflict.
These are stories that just get over-
looked every day, Heacock said.
Heacock and Baker found out about
the conflict after their friend Erin
Larive, 2005 graduate, returned from
a trip to Africa during the summer of
2005.
During the Fall 2005 semester,
Heacock founded the student organi-
zation KU for Uganda, which aims to
increase awareness about the conflict in
northern Uganda and works to achieve
peace.
The atrocities were so great, and the
effect on the region was so huge, and
no one was doing anything about
it, she said.
Baker and Heacock also learned
about Hope Integrity from Larive, who
put them in contact with the orphanages
director. By last winter, they had both
decided to go volunteer in Uganda.
I just felt ready to embrace another
culture and ready to be taught. Id really
like to experience what its like outside
the U.S., Baker said.
Baker and Heacock raised money for
the trip by collecting donations.
Heacock will also intern for the
Global Youth Partnership for Africa,
a nonprofit organization that creates
connections between young Americans
and young Africans.
Baker plans to visit other orphanages
around Uganda.
I just see extreme faith in some of
the poorest communities. I anticipate
seeing that in Uganda as well, she
said.

tragedies
reveal lack
of thorough
coverage
one love
Sam Ashaolu is okay.
Dont know who Ashaolu is?
Dont worry; youre just like the part
of this country that has overlooked
the near death of the Duquesne bas-
ketball player.
You see, Ashaolu was the most
critically wounded of five basketball
players who were shot Sept. 17 fol-
lowing a dance at the Pittsburgh
school. He was finally upgraded
from critical to serious condition
over the weekend.
Ring a bell yet? No? Heres the
story.
Ashaolu, Stuard Baldonado, Kojo
Mensah, Shawn James and Aaron
Jackson left a Black Student Union
dance early Sunday morning to find
a man yelling at them for talking to
his girlfriend. The players turned
away to go to their dorms. The man
fired shots, which struck the five
men. Luckily, Mensah, James and
Jackson escaped with minor inju-
ries. Baldonado and Ashaolu ended
up in the hospital, but both have
recovered.
Instead of reeling over this trag-
edy, sports pages the last week were
focused more on the comparatively
insignificant story of the officiat-
ing debacle between Oklahoma and
Oregon.
Apparently its more tragic for a
group of young men to lose a foot-
ball game because of two question-
able calls than for a group of young
men to nearly lose their lives because
of 12 unwarranted gunshots.
University of Oklahoma President
David Borens complaints about the
loss are downright disgraceful when
one thinks about what happened
at Duquesne. Think its unfair that
your athletes lost one game? Well,
Ashaolu would love to lose one
more game. With three bullets still
lodged in his head, he may never
play again.
The University of Kansas com-
munity might think something like
this would never happen here, but it
already has.
Six years ago, former Kansas
basketball player Paul Pierce was
stabbed nine times at a Boston night
club. He survived only because he
happened to be wearing a leather
coat that prevented the knife from
penetrating too deep.
Although the incident didnt hap-
pen in Lawrence, athletes have fallen
victim to violence here as well.
Remember former basketball
player J.R. Giddens? Giddens was
allegedly provoked and stabbed by
Jeremiah Creswell. His stabbing
should have been considered a seri-
ous matter. Instead, Giddens down-
fall became a joke. What if Jeremiah
Creswell aimed his knife at Giddens
chest instead of his leg? I dont think
there would be any Who stabbed
J.R.? comments if that happened.
Looking at Giddens example, its
really not that surprising the sports
world has overlooked the Duquesne
story.
The media tend to dwell on ath-
letes negative actions, like Giddens
choice to get in a fight instead of
how he could have been seriously
harmed. Thats why Maurice Clarett
has been in the news ad nauseam
in recent weeks. Clarett, a former
Ohio State running back, has had

Volleyball players knee recovers
After nearly one year of healing, athlete adapts to playing with knee brace, sans jump serve
by DrEw DAvison
Jana Correa remembers the day
her left knee gave out, almost end-
ing her volleyball career.
It was last season, and Correa,
senior outside hitter, was in rotation
one, on the right-front side of the
court. She went inside to hit a ball,
and she landed on her left leg, which
then gave out.
I tore my ACL in my meniscus.
My meniscus flipped over, so the
doctors had to go in and put the
meniscus back in place, she said.
It was on Oct. 5, when K-State was
here.
It wasnt the first time, either. She
tore her right ACL during her fresh-
man year against Oklahoma.
It hurt really bad, really bad,
she said. I thought Oh my God,
again.
After eight months of rehab,
today Correa is up and kicking,
leading the Jayhawk volleyball team
in kills and service aces. She ranks
ninth in the Big 12 with 3.96 kills
per game, and is sixth in service
aces.
Correa said she didnt care that
much about being first statistically,
as long as she was able to help lead
the team to victory.
I set some goals this season, she
said. I wanted to be healthy and not
get hurt again. Also, just have fun,
because its my last year.
Coming off the injury, Correa
now has to wear a knee brace for the
entire year.
I think at the beginning the
brace makes you slower, but you get
used to it, she said.
Correa said one of the negative
effects from the surgery is not being
able to do her usual jump serve.
A jump serve is when the player
tosses the ball up and jumps to hit
the ball over the net with some
top-spin.
I used to love the jump serve,
but I havent done it for the past
three or four games, she said. Just
because I feel I have to save my knee
a little bit.
Instead of the jump serve, Correa
has been working on the float serve.
This serve is where she stands flat-
footed. The float serve has been
effective against opponents, as she
can direct the ball directly to the
opposing teams weakest passer.
While Correa said she does not
use the jump serve because she is
coming off the injury, coach Ray
Bechard has a different reason.
Shes not able to do the jump
serve because she misses it too
much, Bechard said. So coach said,
You cant do that anymore.
Aside from the jump-serve
debate, Bechard said he is pleased
with how Correa has come back.
After the K-State match, her
mind wondered if shed ever be
back, he said. Shes probably not
the player she was prior to the injury
in terms of explosiveness, but shes
gained some practical experience.
Off the court, Correa, a Sau
Paulo, Brazil, native, is a journalism
major on the strategic communica-
tions side. She is on track to gradu-
ate in December 2007. She was in
applied English for a full year, which
set her back.
Coming from another country,
Correa said the University provided
her all the assistance she needed
to adjust to the different lifestyle.
Having fellow Brazilians Josi Lima
and Paula Caten on the team for
three years, she had a group of
friends she could hang out with.
When I got here, I did not like
Lawrence, she said. Now, I like it. I
think its a cool place.

Mark Mangino was only 12
years old the last time Kansas won
a game in Lincoln, Neb.
Now, 38 years later, his team
is still searching for a way to end
its ugly losing streak at Nebraskas
Memorial Stadium.
Despite ending the Cornhuskers
36-game overall winning streak in
the series in Lawrence last sea-
son, Kansas hasnt won in Lincoln
since 1968. The problem may be
more psychological than anything
else.
Kansas coach Mark Mangino
said a common problem with
playing in Nebraska is that players
talk themselves into a loss before
the game even starts.
They say, Well, were going to
go to Lincoln, theyre going to have
a big fan base, theyre going to all
be dressed in red, theyre all going
to be making noise, he said. I
think some people get psyched out
before they get there.
Its easy to see how that could
happen, though.
In Kansas 18-game losing streak
at Nebraskas Memorial Stadium,
the Cornhuskers have outscored
the Jayhawks by an average of 42-
8. The Cornhuskers have failed to
score at least 40 points only four
times.
As usual, Saturdays game
is sold out. Nebraska has sold
out 268 consecutive games at
Memorial Stadium, dating back
to the 1962 season. The stadium
was expanded in the offseason,
bringing capacity to nearly 82,000.
On game day, Memorial Stadium
would be the third largest city
in Nebraska. Only Omaha and
Lincoln have a bigger population.
Mangino said theres no reason
for his team to fear Nebraskas
notorious red-clad fans.
All they can do is scream, hol-
ler and cheer. Theyre not allowed
to do anything else, he said.
He said the team would not
change its preparations this week
in practice just because of the
reputation of the environment.
The only potential changes
this week would be on offense.
Because of the crowd noise, the
offense may work with various
ways to audible play calls at the
line of scrimmage.
Senior quarterback Adam
Barmann knows about the noise
level from experience. He started
in Kansas 14-8 loss in Lincoln
two years ago and said the noise
made it difficult to change plays
at the line.
It is loud up there, Barmann
said. Its probably one of the
loudest stadiums, college or pro.
You can never really prepare for a
place like Lincoln.
Correction
mondays edition of the
university Daily kansan
contained an error. adam
Barmann threw for 273 yards
in saturdays game against
south Florida, but it was not
a career-high. Barmann had
310 passing yards his sopho-
more season against toledo.

Seattle Seahawks running back
Shaun Alexander cracked a bone
in his foot. This cracked bone will
cost Alexander, and fantasy own-
ers, about three starts and plenty of
stress as managers scramble to find
a decent replacement.
Whats being overlooked in
Alexanders situation is that he was
averaging a paltry 2.9 yards per
carry this year before the injury,
compared to last years average of
5.1. The explanation of the lost pro-
duction stems back to an important,
yet often overlooked, component
of successful running backs: the
offensive line.
The Seahawks lost their star
offensive guard, Steve Hutchinson,
in the offseason to the Minnesota
Vikings. In years past, Hutchinson
and left tackle Walter Jones com-
bined to represent the best left side
of an offensive line that most of us
will ever witness.
Without Hutchinson, Alexander
doesnt even look like the same play-
er, much less an MVP. Replacement
Maurice Morris will run behind the
same line, and while hell still be
a good fantasy option for the next
few weeks, dont expect anything
record-breaking.
Weaker offensive lines can also
explain the disappointing perfor-
mances of Edgerrin James and Larry
Johnson. The lesson learned is to
work backward: identify a strong
offensive line and get the back who
is running behind them.
Before we get to this weeks
adds and drops, Id like to remind
you that if you havent added last
weeks recommendation of Marques
Colston, please do so at your earli-
est convenience, as he dominated in
Monday nights heartwarming New
Orleans victory.
Players to add:
1) Maurice Jones-Drew, running
back, Jacksonville Jaguars. At just
5-foot-7, hes like a cuter version of
Fred Taylor. Considering his small
stature, powerful legs and lightning-
fast speed, he could remind many of
Sonic the Hedgehog. The 21-year-
old player was great at UCLA and
even better last week, getting 103
yards on just 13 carries, and once
Fred Taylors glass ankle shatters
again, the offense could be centered
around him.
2) Matt Leinart, quarterback,
Arizona Cardinals. With Coach
Dennis Green finally realizing that
starter Kurt Warner is about as reli-
able as a used Yugo, Leinart might
get the chance to have his first pro-
ductive day since he hooked up
with Kristen from Laguna Beach.
Hell have some rookie jitters at first,
but with Edgerrin James, Anquan
Boldin, and Larry Fitzgerald at his
disposal, its only a matter of time
before he puts up numbers similar
to those he posted at USC.
3) Cleveland Browns defense.
Cleveland travels to Oakland
to play the Raiders on Sunday.
At this point, Oaklands offense
is bad to the point where you
could probably throw 11 mon-
keys out there with jerseys and
they would hold the Raiders to

multiple legal problems. Media per-
sonalities, on shows like Pardon the
Interruption or Around the Horn,
will talk until their throats are sore
when an athlete is holding the gun,
but they lose their voices when an
athlete is on the receiving end of
the bullet.
Violent incidents like the one that
happened at Duquesne should not
only be mainstream news, but they
should also teach us valuable life les-
sons. The Duquesne five can teach
us to better protect not only our
athletes, but everyone near college
campuses. Ashaolus recovery from
near death can be an inspiration to
those in similar situations.
An example of how the medias
coverage of sports can affect our
lives was evident in New Orleans
on Monday night. There, at the
Superdome, people were reminded
of how sports can help cure the sting
of a real life tragedy, like Hurrican
Katrina. But lets remember that
sometimes similar tragedies occur
in the sporting world and give these
afflicted athletes the coverage they
deserve.

Football Notes:
Meier Update:
Mangino said freshman quarter-
back Kerry Meier has been throw-
ing in practice and will continue
to throw more as the week pro-
gresses. He said team doctors have
told him that Meier is improved
and feeling better, but declined
to name a starter for Saturdays
game. Meier is currently listed as
day-to-day.
If Meier is healthy, Mangino
declined to speculate if he would
take over for Barmann.
I dont discuss hypotheticals,
Mangino said.
Instant Replay:
With coaches allowed to chal-
lenge one play per game, Mangino
said he is picky when deciding
which one he wants reviewed. He
said that he asked for at least two
plays to be challenged in last weeks
victory against South Florida,
but an official said that the play
was being reviewed by the replay
official. Mangino has not used a
coachs challenge in a game this
season.
Mangino said the officials have
helped coaches save their chal-
lenges for important plays.
Theyve bent over backwards
to help take some of the pressure
off the decision making, Mangino
said.

Volleyball
Kansas to face Texas Tech
By DRew DaviSon
Starting off Big 12 play with a 1-
3 record, the Kansas volleyball team
is in a must-win situation at Texas
Tech tonight in Lubbock, Texas.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter,
said, We cannot lose. It was very
frustrating last
Saturday to
lose, and we
have to win
the next two
games. Were
not thinking
about anything
else.
G o o d
news for the
J a y h a w k s
the Red
Raiders are 0-4 in conference
matches this season.
Both teams enter the match after
losing matches Saturday. Texas
Tech was swept by No. 1-ranked
Nebraska, and Kansas lost a five-
game match at Colorado.
Tonight is just the second time
Texas Tech has played at home, at
the United Spirit Arena. They were
swept by Colorado in their first
home match.
Its hard to play at Tech because
the gym is so different, Correa
said. It is the one where they play
basketball, so
its huge.
Statistically
in the confer-
ence, the Red
Raiders are at
the bottom of
the barrel in hit-
ting percentage,
assists, kills and
digs.
The lone
bright spot for
the Red Raiders
is Phillister Sang, senior outside
hitter. Sang is second in the con-
ference in points, averaging 5.39
a game, and kills, averaging 4.59
a game.
Tech is just on the verge of try-
ing to break through, coach Ray
Bechard said. Theyll fight and
scratch because theyre trying to
protect a win at home.
The Jayhawks, who are 1-3 on
the road this season, enter tonights
game coming off a frustrating loss
to the Buffaloes in Boulder, Colo.
Last season, the Red Raiders (7-
6, 0-4) swept the Jayhawks (8-5,
1-3) in Lubbock. At the Horejsi
Family Athletics Center, Kansas
swept Texas Tech. Tech leads the
all-time series, 13-8.
I know Texas Tech thought they
had an opportunity to be an NCAA
tournament team at the beginning
of the season, Bechard said. They
havent had a lot of success yet, but
they have a lot of season ahead of
them.
Next up, Kansas will face Iowa
State at 7 p.m. Saturday at the
Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

Kansas state defensive back out for season
anTHony MenDoZa
THe aSSociaTeD PReSS
MANHATTAN When Kansas
State opens Big 12 Conference play
on the road Saturday against the
pass-happy offense of Baylor, they
will be without starting defensive
back Bryan Baldwin.
The junior suffered a season-end-
ing injury during last Saturdays 24-6
loss to No. 8 Louisville. Coach Ron
Prince on Tuesday declined to dis-
close the nature of the injury, saying
only that Baldwin will be out for the
season.
Byron Garvin, who started against
Florida Atlantic on Sept. 9, will once
again move into the starting role.
Garvin, who had a team-high
seven tackles and an interception in
a 23-7 win over Marshall, leads all
defensive backs with 19 tackles. He
started the first seven games last sea-
son before former coach Bill Snyder
suspended him for the remainder of
the year after a failed drug test.
Hes had a really good start to
the season, Prince said of Baldwin.
Hes been a big part of how we
play on defense and his leadership
in the secondary and developing a
number of younger players with his
leadership. He will continue to do
that, but well just lose his services
on the field.
under 10 points. Oakland should
hold a contest where they pull fans
from their seats at halftime and see
if they can run the offense better
than new starter Andrew Walter.
The winner gets a roster spot and a
Warren Sapp bobble-belly doll.
Players to drop:
1) Mike Bell, running back,
Denver Broncos. Coach Mike
Shanahan has predictably duped
thousands of fantasy football play-
ers once again. Did you really think
that he was going to go with an
undrafted rookie out of Arizona
all year? Now that Tatum Bell has
solidified himself as the man with
27 carries for 123 yards, Mike Bell
can go back to standing on the
sidelines drinking Gatorade and
bragging to the ball boys about
how he was once an NFL starting
running back.
2) Chris Simms, quarterback,
Charter Hospital of Tampa Bay.
Unless spleens removed is an
official stat in your league, Simms
wont have a whole lot of value.
His stats, zero touchdowns and six
picks werent worth a whole lot any-
way. All you can do is wish Simms
a healthy recovery, and keep an eye
on replacement Bruce Gradkowski
to see if he can master Grudens
offense and become fantasy-wor-
thy.
3) Marty Booker, wide receiv-
er, Miami Dolphins. Daunte
Culpeppers inadequacies as a quar-
terback have assassinated the fan-
tasy football careers of several play-
ers, and Booker is no exception.
Even if Culpepper can rediscover
the ability to execute a forward
pass, Marty Booker will still be the
fourth option in the offense after
Chris Chambers, Ronnie Brown
and Randy McMichael. Think of
him as Amani Toomer in a weaker
offense.

This week marks the frst week of Big 12 Conference play. Each Wednes-
day, The University Daily Kansan will run columns from schools around the
Big 12 analyzing the performance of their teams. To respond to the colum-
nists, please send your letters to Kansan sports editor Michael Phillips at
mphillips@kansan.com. This week The Kansan is also running a column
from Eugene, Ore., responding to the offciating controversy that happened
two weeks ago during the Oklahoma vs. Oregon game.
Nebraska shut out Troy on
Saturday 56-0. This Saturday the
Jayhawks travel to Lincoln to face
the Cornhuskers. Nebraska junior
Evan Bland wrote this column for
Mondays Daily Nebraskan:
Who would have thought?
I dont know any prognosticators
or optimists who thought the fourth
installment of Nebraska vs. Troy
would go like this.
Saturdays Troy contest was sup-
Last week the Kansan ran a col-
umn from the University of Oklahoma
about how the school was cheated
out of a victory in its game against
Oregon. This column was written by
Luke Andrews for Mondays Oregon
Daily Emerald.
Unless you entered a celebratory
coma or have been hiding under a
rock since Oregons dramatic 34-33
come-from-behind victory last week
against Oklahoma, you are well aware
of the controversy that stemmed
from a
b l o w n
call and
phantom
recover y
of a criti-
cal onside
kick late
in the
game that led to the Ducks game-
winning touchdown.
You likely know all this because
the national media refuse to let it
go.
A week later, that small sequence
of events, which accounted for
roughly six seconds of a 60-min-
ute game, lingers and has led to
more national media coverage than
Oregon has received in a very long
time. Its unfortunate that it takes
a controversy to finally thrust the
Ducks into the national spotlight.
The call was mentioned in numer-
ous televised games last Saturday.
Even the Associated Press story
on Oklahomas overwhelming win
against Middle Tennessee led with,
Oklahoma left nothing to the replay
officials this time.
And its had quite the ripple effect
as well. The officiating crew was sus-
pended one game, the Pac-10s replay
system, ironically, was reviewed, and
an apology was issued to the Sooners
by the conference after Oklahoma
University President David Boren
deemed the call an outrageous
injustice in a letter. Boren also
demanded that the game be wiped
away from the record books, which
calls into question his priorities as
the president of a major university
with more than 19,000 students.
But it got worse than that.
Replay official Gordon Riese, a
Portland native, reviewed the play
in the booth but was apparently not
offered the same angles available to
those watching on television. His
film was inconclusive, and he made
the wrong call. Riese quickly became
the victim of a death threat and his
family fears for his health follow-
ing what is now being termed as
Replaygate.
The unfortunate aspect about the
entire fiasco is that it overshadowed
a truly great game played by both
teams.
No matter your opinions --
Oregon fans argue that it wasnt the
officials who let the Ducks score
two late touchdowns and Oklahoma
fans, well, its obvious what they
think -- that single call will define
both teams seasons.
For Oregon, itll be a lingering
asterisk no matter how they fin-
ish. Just imagine what the lead-in
will be for Saturdays game on ABC
against Arizona State. This is not
something thats going to subside
any time soon, and thats troubling
because the Ducks still posted 34
points against a very good Sooners
defense.
Opposing fans will now have
more ammunition than the redun-
dant slams on Oregons uniforms. A
friend of mine received a message
after the Oklahoma game from a
Washington State student she knows,
saying, dinner is on me when you
come to Pullman, since you spent all
your money paying off the referees.
Similarly for Oklahoma, this is
one game that everyone will talk
about whether the Sooners go 11-1
(you can imagine the firestorm there)
or 5-7, considering they should have
been 3-0 with a big road victory, and
you just never know after that.
While Oregon will certainly take
the win, its one that is truly going
to haunt this team and the Sooners
for the entire season.
And thats unfortunate consider-
ing the play was out of the control of
both teams.
Bad calls, blowouts spark this weeks commentary
Nebraskas devastating 56-0 victory over Troy
unexpected, encouraging, a little misleading
posed to be one of those danger
games, the ones that usually come
right before or after a matchup
against a more hyped opponent.
The Cornhuskers lost at No. 2
Southern California 28-10 one week
ago, but they obviously didnt have
much jet lag against these Trojans,
grabbing nearly 600 yards of total
offense and doing what they wanted
on the ground and in the air.
The offensive balance was back,
as NU ran for 316 yards and threw
for 281 more. (Its interesting to
note, though, Nebraskas play-call-
ing this weekend was nearly identi-
cal to the USC game, with exactly a
two-to-one ratio in favor of rushing
the football.)
T h e
d e f e n s e
and spe-
cial teams
also got
into the act
in a major
way for
NU, forcing
three turn-

of the Saturday game in Lincoln, Neb. Nebraska beat Troy, 56-0.
overs and limiting the Trojans to
just 140 yards of total offense.
But 56-0? Thats probably not a
score most Husker fans would have
predicted a week or two ago, not
because of Nebraskas loss last week
but based on how Troy had played
in its earlier games.
The Trojans were 1-2, but that
record came with an asterisk
because it included a narrow 24-17
loss at then-No. 9 Florida State and
another loss at Georgia Tech, a game
the Trojans were in going into the
fourth quarter.
So what does this game say about
the Huskers? Depending on your
point of view, its either extremely
encouraging or a little misleading.
Either case could be made just
by listening to Troy Coach Larry
Blakeney after the game.
This bunch of guys is differ-
ent, Blakeney said of the Huskers.
Their style of play and their physi-
cal approach really gave us more
than we could handle.
The comment could apply to
Nebraska on either side of the ball.
Aside from the more glitzy offen-
sive numbers, the Blackshirts were
downright nasty. Troy quarterback
Omar Haugabook should be get-
ting regular visits from NU senior
Adam Carriker and sophomore
Ndamukong Suh in his nightmares
after taking as many hits as he did
from NUs defensive line Saturday.
On the other hand, the unruly
final score might be giving Nebraska
a little too much credit.
I think the biggest thing is it was
the third big game we had played,
Blakeney said. We had been prob-
ably just worn and a little bit tired.
Its true, Nebraska represented
Troys third straight road game and
that probably had something to do
with the Trojans complete ineffec-
tiveness in all three phases of the
game. A team can only take so many
road games against superior talent
and still expect to be competitive.
Heck, the only shock of the sec-
ond half was having a foil-wrapped
hot dog carom off the sixth-floor
window of the press box. (Is it me,
or are those wiener launchers get-
ting more powerful?)
Either way, Saturdays win wont
put the USC loss out of the collec-
tive minds of Husker Nation, but,
if nothing else, it has at least had
a reassuring effect that the sky is
indeed not falling.
Troys a good team and we really
put it to them tonight, NU senior
quarterback Zac Taylor said. I think
we did a good job setting the tone.
No doubt they did. And in a
danger game against an increasingly
respectable Troy team.
Now its time for Big 12
Conference play, and the Huskers
can prepare for Kansas with the
motivation of a North Division title
and, I daresay, a little revenge on
their minds.
And, after Saturdays shutout, a
whole lot of momentum.
I know I didnt see that coming.
Bad call will haunt
Ducks and Sooners
