med center
By JAck WEinstEin
The University of Kansas Hospital
has offered millions of dollars to
extend its affiliation agreement with
the University of Kansas Medical
Center. The total of the offer is
nearly $400 million.
The proposal covers 10 years and
was announced Monday in a letter
to Med Center faculty from Barbara
Atkinson, KU Medical Center exec-
utive vice chancellor and executive
dean of the KU School of Medicine.
Dennis McCulloch, spokesman
for KU Hospital, said that under
the proposal, KU Hospital would
continue to provide its current $30
million a year in support of the Med
Center and the $400 million would
be applied toward hefty increases in
other areas.
Atkinsons letter indicated that
while the offer was a generous
expression of support, there were
a number of conditions and restric-
tions that would need to be evalu-
ated.
One condition is that if the pro-
posal is accepted, St. Lukes Hospital
in Kansas City, Mo., would not be
able to continue to host full resi-
dency affiliations. There would still
be a possibility for residency pro-
grams in areas where the School of
Medicine has particular needs that
cant be met at KU Hospital. A new
governance structure for the cur-
rent residency program would also
be created.
Additionally, the School of
Medicine would focus primarily on
research and education while KU
10 year afliation proposal

KU, city
bus merger
By MArk viErthAlEr
It was officially recommended
that the University and the city
public transit systems should
completely merge during a public
presentation Tuesday.
Dan Boyle from Dan Boyle
and Associates, a transit advisory
firm, presented the final recom-
mendation that both parties pur-
sue a phased integration of all
transit services in Lawrence dur-
ing the next five years.
The Student Senate transit com-
mittee, provost and vice-provost
and Lawrence City Commission
will receive the recommendations
today and enter into discussion.
Danny Kaiser, assistant direc-
tor of parking and transit, said
he was pleased with the results,
but the recommendations didnt
surprise him.
Boyle said one of the key ben-
efits for the University would be
the replacement of old buses.
The recommendation did not
include a complete replacement of
the KU on Wheels fleet, but sug-
gested a more economic replace-
ment system by buying newer
buses. Boyle said both the T and
the KU on Wheels buses would
be slowly phased from old to new
during a period of several years.
Students fees would be the sole
source of funding, so each student
would automatically get an unlim-
ited access pass to all the bus sys-
tems, Boyle said. Although this
recommendation would require
a rise in student fees, he said it
could help boost KU on Wheels
ridership.
Boyle previously estimated the
increase would be close to $50 per
student. The money would also
go toward vehicle replacement.
To raise students fees, there
must be a referendum and the
majority of students must approve
the increase.
Tom Worker-Braddock,
Boulder, Colo., graduate student,
said he was concerned that inte-
gration of the two systems would
mean KU on Wheels would no
longer serve the purpose of run-
ning students to campus.
Boyle said KU on Wheels
would remain an express route for
students to campus even under
the integration options.

Joe Schreiner, Lawrence resident, performs a mixture of original material and cover songs Tuesday on Massachusetts Street for tips. Schreiner was homeless until a friend recently provided shelter for
himand his girlfriend. His situation is indicative of many street musicians. Imtrying to redefne what it is to be on the verge of homelessness,Schreiner said. The majority of the community here seems to
respect our way and like us.
By BEn sMith
Joe Schreiner likes to wear black
oxford shoes and a clean gray linen
suit to work every day along with
the traditional tools of his trade: a
guitar and harmonica.
He purchased the suit from one
of Lawrences thrift shops and his
father gave him the guitar.
For more than five months, the
thin man from Topeka has fre-
quented the benches and sidewalks,
near the US Bank building at Ninth
and Massachusetts streets, smiling
and strumming his guitar, with his
companion and business manager,
Tabatha McCoy.
Crooning like a happy-go-lucky
rock star, Schreiner serenades the
public with his own lyrics and melo-
dies.
Its always open mic night on
Massachusetts Street, Schreiner
sang recently as one clean-cut col-
lege-aged man walked by clapping
and smiling.
Schreiner is one of nearly a dozen
Lawrence buskers, street musicians
who play in public areas collecting
tips with coffee cans, upturned hats
and open instrument cases from
bustling downtown crowds.
McCoy and Schreiner spent
the summer living out of McCoys
car, scrounging clothes from thrift
stores and food from LINK and the
Salvation Army before they were
fortunate to find a friend who has
let them stay in a camper during the
winter months.
Schreiner attended classes at
Allen County Community College
before taking to the street to play
his guitar. He and McCoy quote
Carl Jung, Gautama Buddha and
Mahatma Gandhi while they talk
about their passions for music and
poetry.
Schreiner is upbeat about his
prospects. He said Lawrence was
a more transient and homeless-
friendly place than other commu-
nities.
Im trying to redefine what it is
to be on the verge of homelessness,
Schreiner said. The majority of the
community here seems to respect
our way and like us.
Kristin L. Bovaird-Abbo, gradu-
ate student in English and a scholar
of French Medieval literature, said
that the buskers of Massachusetts
Street had many qualities that schol-
ars attributed to troubadours, com-
posers and performers of songs in
11th and 12th century Europe.

Students honor motivational chemistry professor
By dAnny luPPino
When Paul Hanson decided
to become a college professor, his
intention was to teach at a small
school where he could also coach
cross country.
After 10 years at the University
of Kansas, Hanson, professor of
chemistry, hasnt coached any run-
ners, but he has motivated hundreds
of aspiring medical professionals
through his daunting organic chem-
istry course.
The students have a lot at stake,
so youre motivating them, Hanson
said. Youre trying to get them
through it.
Apparently his students have felt
well-coached. During the football
game on Nov. 18, the senior class
named Hanson the winner of the
2006 Honor for an Outstanding
Progressive Educator, or H.O.P.E.,
Award.
Im deeply honored, Hanson
said. I nearly fainted out there on
the field.
The H.O.P.E Award is an annu-
al honor for teaching excellence.
Students nominate teachers through
e-mail and seniors vote again to nar-
row the list to six nominees before
the Board of Class Officers selects
a winner.
Hanson said winning the award
was directly related to his move last
year from small classes to the large
organic chemistry lecture. Hanson
said that section had about 100 pre-
pharmacy students and 250 to 300
pre-medicine students.
Joseph Heppert, chairman of the
chemistry department, said Hanson
excelled at getting his students
through his often challenging class.
He noted Hansons frequent office
hours and the lines of students who
accompany them.
Its clear to students that he really
cares about how they do in the class-
room, Heppert said.
Heppert also credited Hanson
with bringing an enthusiasm to lec-
tures that made the material more
interesting to students who largely
take the class for professional ends.
Thats a very major achieve-
ment, Heppert said.
Luke Walker, Leawood senior,
took Hansons organic chemistry
class last year. He said Hansons
enthusiasm was key to helping him
enjoy a subject he would not ordi-
narily have found very interesting.
He was real energetic, very ani-
mated, Walker said. That definitely
helped. It grabbed attention. It could
have been a lot worse with a differ-
ent teacher, but he made it pretty
interesting about as interesting as
organic chemistry can be.

I wish that I had studied abroad or

Coleman graduated in 2003 with a
strategic communications degree. She
answered an ad in the paper two years

job was on the campus that she had
grown to miss .
Coleman helps students travel on

back home. One of the perks of the
job is being able to talk with many
different students everyday.
Travel is a fun subject to discuss
with people, Coleman said. It does
get frustrating having to talk with
airlines.
Coleman never traveled as a stu-
dent, but she started once she began
working for STA travel, because she
learned of new places from interna-
tional students.
When I first started working here,
students would tell me cities in Saudi
Arabia that I had no idea existed,
Coleman said.
Coleman also helps student orga-
nizations when they host events.
A lot of times we will set up a
booth at an event or donate a free

HEALTH
Professor seeks drugless treatment
BY GINA SOUDERS
Steve Ilardis phone rang. As he
answered it, he heard one of his
patients weeping.
Remember how you made me
promise to call you if I ever intended
to kill myself? his patient sobbed on
the other line.
Yes?
I wanted to keep my promise.
Click.
This was not the first time Ilardi
had known someone who planned
to commit suicide. Many of Ilardis
patients at his small psychology prac-
tice are diagnosed with depression.
This particular incident, fortu-
nately, ended on a happy note.
Luckily I have never had a patient
go through with committing suicide,
Ilardi said. He said he managed to
talk the patient out of suicide after
finding the man several hours later
and admitting him to a hospital.
Ilardi is an associate professor
of psychology at the University of
Kansas and is involved with a con-
tinuous research study known as
Therapeutic Lifestyle Change, or
TLC. This is believed to be the first
known research study to promote
a change in lifestyle as an effective
treatment for depression.
In college, Ilardi was one of those
guys who made fun of the psychol-
ogy students. He teased them and
claimed it wasnt a real major. He
said he didnt believe mentally ill
patients were even ill.
Now, he is a respected psychology
teacher who said
he just wanted
his patients to
get better.
The percent-
age of patients
with depression
has increased
10 times since
World War I. In
the 1940s, 2 to
3 percent of the
U.S. population
suffered from depression. Now, the
figure is closer to 25 percent.
Alarming statistics like this push
Ilardi to classify depression as an
epidemic of the 21st century.
Whereas many doctors offer drugs
as a solution to the problem, Ilardi is
not satisfied with that answer.
If these drugs worked as they are
advertised, Id be all for them, he
said. But these drugs dont live up to
their hype.
Ilardis study shows that only 40
percent of patients actually see better
responses to curing their depression
through the medications, and only
28 percent of these patients com-
pletely recover.
In 2004, the FDA announced
that certain antidepressants, such as
Zoloft and Prozac, increased the risk
of suicide among children and ado-
lescents. Other studies have shown
a risk of suicide among adults, but
no statistics have
been released
to the public.
Ilardi said these
risks make him
uneasy and
motivate him
to continue his
work.
His study
is research-
ing whether a
change in life-
style could help treat depression. So
far, TLC has seen an 85 percent
response rate from patients following
these changes.
If the hunter-gatherers suffered
from depression as much as we do
now, I dont think the human race
would have even survived, Ilardi
said.
The change in lifestyle required
patients to increase their level of
physical activity. Lawrence Athletic
Center donated free memberships
to the study and the research offered
exercise consultants to give their
patients more motivation.
Brian Stites, one of TLCs co-coor-
dinators, called the study the grand-
mother philosophy because of its
basic objectives.
It is something you probably
heard your grandmother tell you to
do when you were a kid, Stites said.
These patients involved have tried
everything. They have failed four
to five other treatments in the past,
including medications, and nothing
has worked for them. This treatment
is so simple and so effective, but its
also a lot of work.
In Ilardis abnormal psychology
class the topic of depression is cov-
ered for more than two weeks. He
said it was another positive outlet
to spread the word, and many of his
students couldnt agree more.
The world is already overmedi-
cated, Eric Travis, Pittsburg senior,
said. People need to learn to start
taking care of themselves.
The research is nowhere near
complete, but Ilardi said he planned
to continue working until he had
found all the statistics he could in
order to save lives. Until then, he
said he would continue to teach,
treat patients and answer the phone
worried, afraid that the next time it
might be too late.

Without an increase in revenue,
Boyle said the T would need to com-
bine several routes and alter a few
others. Several new transfer points
would be added throughout the
routes.
With a 20 percent financial
increase over five years, both lines
would be able to add evening routes
and increase frequency. A new route
would be added serving the Legends
Apartments and Wakarusa Drive.
The plan recommended the
two systems create an independent
and representative governing body
between the University and the city.
Boyle said money would come from
both the city and the University.
The governing body would consist
of representatives 50 percent from the
city, 25 percent from the University
and 25 percent from the students.
If both the University and the city
agree to the recommendations, Boyle
said contracts could be in negotiation
as early as the beginning of 2007.

ANDERSON, Mo. Investiga-
tors expect to rule out arson as
the cause of a fre that killed 10

elderly and mentally ill, a police
spokesman said Tuesday.
Sgt. Jason Clark of the Missouri
State Highway Patrol said he

investigation.
Clark said authorities do not
have any suspects or persons of
interest in the blaze at Anderson

Of cials have revealed little
about what may have sparked
the fames, which originated in
an area that included a living
room and some bedrooms. They
scheduled a news conference for
Wednesday.
Coroner B.J. Goodwin said
most of the victims had been
asleep when the fre broke out,
noting they were found in their
pajamas and were not wearing
shoes. All of them died of smoke
inhalation, he said.

Manage the conversation. Even
one whos rather a bore will draw
attention away, and thats one of

The University Daily Kansan emphasizes the First Amendment:
The possibility of a friend or
family member committing sui-
cide might not be on your mind,
but it should be.
Despite popular myth, suicides
occur least often during win-
ter holidays and most often in
spring, according to the Centers
for Disease Control. But their
frequency in the United States
should remind us of the possibil-
ity that a friend or family mem-
ber could commit suicide.
Each year 30,000 Americans
die by suicide. Thats near-
ly twice the number homi-
cide deaths, according to the
American College of Emergency
Physicians.
Suicide is the second-leading
cause of death among college
students and the third-leading
cause of death among people
ages 15-24, according to the
American Foundation for Suicide
Prevention. Almost 4,000 people
15-24 die by suicide each year,
the AFSP says.
Seventy-five percent of all
people who commit suicide give
some warning to a friend or fam-
ily member, the AFSP says.
The Centers for Disease
Control says to recognize the fol-
lowing risk factors that increase
the likelihood of a suicide
attempt:
Previous suicide attempt(s)
History of mental disorders,
particularly depression
History of alcohol and sub-
stance abuse
Family history of suicide
Feelings of hopelessness
Impulsive or aggressive ten-
dencies
Loss (relational, social, work
or financial)
Easy access to lethal meth-
ods
Feelings of isolation
KU Counseling and
Psychological Services says to
recognize the following warning
signs of a suicide attempt:
Depressed demeanor
Talk of getting even with
someone or making someone
sorry
Talking about suicide, the
hereafter, wills or other things
related to death
Sudden happy mood, indi-
cating the person plans to end
things soon
Sleep disturbance
Headaches, weight loss,
weight gain, nausea or fatigue
Alcohol and other drugs used
frequently, in large quantities, or
both
Engaging in risky actions
such as reckless driving or fights

Finals usually kick your butt and
laugh. But not this year. Preparing
for finals is like preparing to battle a
band of ninjas. It takes lots of physi-
cal and mental preparation.
Finals, like ninjas, can either
make or break you. Finals are worth
about 110 percent of your grade and
can be the difference between solid
Bs and some not so nice Ds. The
last thing you want is your parents
using your Chrismahanukawanzaka
gifts as firewood instead of that Yule
log. Its going to be pretty awkward
to explain that you failed Math 002
again because you used all of stop
day to watch a [insert favorite TV
show here] marathon.
To keep ninjas, in this case the
finals, from sneaking up on you,
you need to think about studying
before stop day. This may seem a bit
silly as it goes against our religious
belief in procrastination. However,
the ninjas are tricky and can quickly
find the weaknesses of a not-so-
well-prepared warrior. Besides, if
you start studying now, you figure
out questions to ask your professor
before your class stops meeting.
Your sensei is a valuable resource.
Dont forget, ninjas usually attack
in groups, and so should you. As
unproductive as group study ses-
sions can be, they can also be quite
helpful. Its usually best to meet
someplace less distracting than
your dorm room, where that new
Nintendo Wii will get more atten-
tion than your books. I suggest the
library, although I acknowledge
there can be some characters even
shadier than ninjas in the stacks at
Watson. Your fellow classmates may
bring up some key concepts that
you forgot about. Or perhaps they
have some study strategy that could
work for you.
Besides mentally preparing for
finals, you can also physically pre-
pare. Ninjas, and finals, are nimble,
quick warriors with sound minds
and bodies. Ever notice how thin
that Scantron sheet is? Its time you
shaped up, too. A bit of exercise or a
quick game of ultimate Frisbee can
be great stress relief. Sometimes,
after reading your Western Civ
books for hours, you really just need
to hit something. Field hockey or
field crumpets, that game people
play in front of Fraser Hall are
perfect for this.
If your friends are too busy
studying and you have to work out
alone, thats OK. You can easily run,
lift weights or hurl your textbook
across the room. Not only will you
feel fit, but exercise can help clear
your mind as well. And work off
those extra calories from all the
Mountain Dew youve been drink-
ing.
Finally, its time to face the finals.
Unlike ninjas who yell Hi-ya!
your finals will yell something
like, What is the average air speed
velocity of an unladen swallow?!
Instead of getting kicked in the
face and thinking Oh $#%^&&*!,
you will be well prepared for this
attack. You will counter the attack
by explaining how to find the air
speed velocity of both an African
and European swallow.
Once youve finished your finals,
its time to celebrate. After fighting
like a natural ninja, its time to party
like a pirate. Enjoy the rum and
be thankful that youre still getting
your Chrismahanukawanzaka pres-
ents this year.
Hartz is a Stilwell sophomore in
creative writing.
I have a strange relationship with
a man I barely know. I know his
name, but have little knowledge of
his background. But I see him once
a week, and I always look forward
to his visit.
Juan works for the landscap-
ing company that does work at my
apartment complex once a week.
From my fourth-floor balcony, I
watch Juan perform his weekly task.
It is a job that seems meaningless,
but one that Juan attacks with an
almost fanatical dedication and
relentless joviality.
Juans job is to blow dirt.
I dont mean this in a metaphoric
sense; I mean it in the strictest lit-
eral sense. Juan walks around with
a giant apparatus strapped to his
back and uses it to blow dirt and
leaves off of sidewalks and patios.
Juan blows dirt, dirt that will be
right back on the sidewalk when he
returns next week.
Thus, Juans chosen career is the
definition of a zero-sum game. It
defies all conclusions of any cost/
benefit analysis. Dirt will inevitably
end up on those sidewalks, and
all the arguments for the aesthetic
pleasure of the concrete pathways
cannot overcome the utter futility
of his job.
I used to dread Juans visits.
Sometimes he comes early in the
morning and wakes me up with
his skull-shatteringly loud blowing
machine. But after watching him
a few times, I began to relish his
weekly appearances. Juan, whose
job defies logical processes, always
carries out his prescribed task with
an inexplicable smile on his face.
Then I met Juan, and suddenly
everything seemed much more
clear.
Juan is an immigrant from
Mexico, and each month he sends
a large portion of his paycheck
home to his siblings, who still har-
bor hopes of joining him here in
America. His smile is a product of
his optimism, which trumps all else
in Juans life. He came to this coun-
try seeking a better life for himself
and his family, and that never fails
to remind him to be happy.
I didnt ask Juan about his immi-
gration status, but it is possible he is
one of the millions of illegal immi-
grants currently living in America.
Much has been made of the
immigration debate in recent
months, and deservedly so it
has enormous implications for our
nations future, both economic and
cultural. It seems logical that people
who enter the United States illegally
should not be entitled to the ben-
efits and services funded by legal
citizens. Who are they to capitalize
without contribution?
But as I listened to Juan speak in
broken English about his American
Dream, my opinion suddenly made
a lot less sense. Juan embodies the
spirit of determination and opti-
mism, the driving forces of the leg-
endary American spirit.
He came here from Mexico to
seek a better life in a free country
of opportunity, the same things
my relatives sought when they left
Ireland in the late 19th century. My
ancestors had no money when they
arrived, and no one really wanted
a multitude of Irish immigrants
around. But they persevered and
eventually succeeded, despite all the
hardships they met along the way.
There is a striking scene at the
conclusion of F. Scott Fitzgeralds
The Great Gatsby, after the utter
downfall of the title character, in
which Nick Carraway realizes that
Gatsby selected his mansions loca-
tion so he could see the green light
at the end of his unrequited loves
dock. The light represented Gatsbys
hopes, and Fitzgerald uses the light
to symbolize the American Dream.
Despite his own stumbles and fail-
ings, Gatsby believed in that green
light, and so does Juan. That green
light drew Juan from Mexico and
sustains him throughout his thank-
less job.
And how do we greet him? By
constructing a giant wall to bar-
ricade us from the rest of his family.
By doing everything possible to
discourage Juan from seeking a bet-
ter life in America. All Juan wants is
to reach that green light, to achieve
the same dream for his family that
all our families had the opportunity
to realize.
So Juan will keep blowing the
dirt, trying to overcome the barri-
ers we are quite literally erecting to
suppress his dream. Tomorrow Juan
will run faster, stretch out his arms
farther, and one fine morning
See you next week, Juan.

The idea of traveling from place
to place using music and perfor-
mance as methods of gaining sus-
tenance is very much in the style of
the troubadour,
Bovai rd-Abbo
said.
Well into the
late hours of
the evenings,
Schreiner plays
and sings to
earn enough tips
to pay his child
support. He said
that in the last
few months, he
and McCoy had
met all sorts of
interesting people while doing what
they love: singing and composing.
Friends of his from college, they
stop by and say its good to see the
two of us surviving, McCoy said.
Schreiner said his experiences as
a busker and homeless person have
provided him with interesting life
experiences.
I know Ill write my best stuff out
here, Schreiner said.
Up the way from Schreiner is jazz
saxophonist Dan Kozak, who says he
has made more money in his three
years busking downtown than he did
in 27 years playing legitimate gigs.
Kozak is founder of the annual
Coleman Hawkins Jazz Festival in
Topeka, which celebrated its 11th
year this June,
honoring leg-
endary Topeka
s a x o p h o n -
ist Coleman
Hawkins, who
p o p u l a r i z e d
the tenor saxo-
phone.
This heav-
ily tattooed and
soft spoken New
York-born veter-
an of the music
business lives in
Lawrence year-round and plays his
sax at Seventh and Massachusetts
streets, selling his CDs and sharing
his love of jazz with whoever will
stop and listen.
About 95 percent of the time
people just walk on by and dont pay
me any mind, Kozak said. But that
other 5 percent make it worth the
while.
Buskers like Schreiner and Kozak
take a certain measure of pride in
their street music.
In the flickering lights of the
city after dark, usually on Fridays,
Saturdays and Sundays, the musi-
cians serenade bar crawlers hoping
for tips or an occasional cigarette.
Twice a week a grizzle-bearded
Oskaloosa native, who insists his
stage name is Man Mountain, plays
in front of the Red Lyon Tavern. Mr.
Mountain said hed been busking for
nearly 32 years all over the world in
Europe and Mexico.
Mr. Mountain said he traveled
wherever he felt he could make some
money playing his banjo.
Its enough to keep me in ciga-
rette money, he said as he plucked a
riff and asked for a smoke.
The street musicians have a charm
and wit that make them approach-
able. Most see it as work and not
begging.
Its nothing like panhandling,
Schreiner said. We provide a ser-
vice, and if you dont want to put
your money in the box, you dont
have to.
Occasionally, Schreiner said, a
naysayer or two have walked up to
ask him why he didnt go out and get
a real job.
I just explain to them that Im
trying, he said, but until something
better comes along I keep doing
what I love.
Schreiner has a second job in
telemarketing. During the holidays,
he plays his guitar for donations for
the Salvation Amy. As soon as he
gets off work, he heads downtown
with his guitar and sings into the
late night hours, even though his
throat is dry from talking on the
phone all day.
Schreiner performs next to the
statue in front of US Bank, whom he
has affectionately named Stephen
Eugene Statue Dude, having fun
making up a few songs on the
spot. He acquiesces to the occa-
sional request for Lynyrd Skynyrds
Freebird, with McCoy joining
in on harmonies when the mood
strikes her.
In the cold weather Schreiner and
many other buskers do their best to
find indoor venues that will allow
them to perform out of the wind
and chill.
Schreiner said that just because
it was cold didnt mean he wouldnt
feel like playing.
The plow stops for nobody, he
said.

Hospital would focus on clinical
care. The KU Hospital would also be
the lead clinical facility as the effort
to achieve designation as a National
Cancer Institute goes forward.
KU Hospital CEO Irene
Cumming said the hospital wanted
to support the KU Medical Center
since the two separated eight years
ago, and after increasing the fund-
ing each year, it was now in a finan-
cial position to make a much larger
pledge.
Its important to us to have a
strong partnership with the school,
she said. We looked at this as a way
to promote that partnership.
Cumming added that it was
important to the Medical Center
to obtain the NCI designation it
sought, and the partnership could
help promote that.
This proposed affiliation is part
of an effort to push the Kansas City
area into the top 20 for life sci-
ences research, something Atkinson
said was hugely important for the
region.
She said it would imply that
Kansas City would have top tier,
nationally recognized facilities that
would not only be able to provide
the best care for its patients, but
provide the best teaching for its
students.
The community is expecting
us to be a leader in this region,
Atkinson said.
Atkinson said discussions and
negotiations would be ongoing and
an agreement between the Hospital
and the Medical Center wouldnt be
immediate because the process had
just begun.

Auto show highlights
alternative-fuel vehicles
BY GARY GENTILE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES Automakers
will roll into the Los Angeles Auto
Show with a new lineup of concept
cars powered by alternative fuels.
But activists complain the compa-
nies are still moving too slowly to
curb the nations dependence on
foreign oil.
General Motors Corp., Ford
Motor Co. and BMW AG will
unveil vehicles that run on hydro-
gen, while other companies,
including DaimlerChrysler AG and
Volkswagen AG, will show vehicles
powered by E85 ethanol, electric-
gas hybrid engines, biodiesel, natu-
ral gas and low-sulfur diesel fuel.
Environmentally friendly cars
will be a highlight of the auto show,
which gained prominence this year
after it was moved from January
to November to occur before the
North American International Auto
Show in Detroit.
Organizers said 21 new models
will make their world debuts at the
Los Angeles show, which opens
to the public on Friday and runs
through Dec. 10.
Consumers are angry that they
dont have greener choices in the
showroom, so at least on the con-
cept car front, automakers can say,
Hey, were working on it, said
Jason Mark, vehicles director at the
Union of Concerned Scientists.
Mark and others also argue that
carmakers should make more fuel-
efficient cars now by using avail-
able technology instead of waiting
decades for new systems to prove
themselves.
A consumer group called
Jumpstart Ford plans to dem-
onstrate outside the auto show
on Wednesday to say the vehicles
on display provide too little, too
late.
The automakers efforts sadly
fall far short of the response need-
ed in order to effectively break
Americas oil addiction, the group
said in a prepared statement.
The unveilings in Los Angeles
are further steps toward bringing
hydrogen vehicles to market, said
JoAnn Milliken, acting hydrogen
program manager for the U.S.
Department of Energy.
Integrating these new technolo-
gies into a system is major prog-
ress, she said.
Still, a mass-produced fuel cell
vehicle is 10 to 15 years away, said
Simon Ng, director of the alter-
native energy technology pro-
gram at Wayne State University
in Detroit.
Major obstacles include the lack
of fueling stations and high costs,
he said.
Energy Department estimates
show a mass-produced fuel-cell
engine would cost about four times
as much as a conventional gasoline
engine.

Following an impressive 60-47
victory over Creighton last week,
the womens basketball team had a
lot to be proud of.
Poor rebounding, however, is
what stuck out in coach Bonnie
Henricksons mind, and that is
what Kansas will work to improve
during tonights game against the
Western Illinois Westerwinds at
Allen Fieldhouse.
Giving up 19 offensive
rebounds: thats disappointing,
Henrickson said.
Creighton grabbed 12 more
offensive boards than Kansas last
Monday. The Bluejays also out-
rebounded the Jayhawks 44-29
overall.
Only sophomore forward Marija
Zinic and junior forward Taylor
McIntosh are averaging over six
rebounds a game for the Jayhawks.
Western Illinois junior forward
Stephanie Lovingood is leading the
Westerwinds in both rebounds and
points. Lovingood will be a chal-
lenge for a Kansas frontcourt that
hasnt played as well in its last two
games.
After averaging 15.5 points per
game in the Jayhawks first two con-
tests, Marija Zinic has only aver-
aged seven points in the last two.
She shot only 22 percent from the
field during those games.
To account for Zinics subpar
outings, Kansas perimeter shoot-
ing has picked up. Led by freshman
guard Kelly Kohn, the Jayhawks
shot nearly 40 percent from three
point range in victories against
Creighton and UMKC.
Weve definitely matured there,
Henrickson said.
Kohn has scored 23 points in
Football season is over.
Oh wait, I guess the Teriyaki Bowl
still has a bid up for grabs, as long
as the Chicken Fried Rices dont win
this weekend.
What was supposed to be the year
that Mark Mangino took the KU
football program to another level has
dwindled into waiting around for
some sorry bowl game to come call-
ing for a mediocre 6-6 football team
to play against another mediocre 6-6
football team.
Seriously, 6-6? Thats what we
settled for this year, six wins and six
losses in what has to be one of the
easiest schedules a Big 12 team has
faced since Bill Snyder was sched-
uling games. The only difference?
Snyders teams won those games.
Theres no excuse for this seasons
record. I dont want to hear that the
team was young. I dont want to hear
that KU was breaking in a new quar-
terback. And I dont want to hear
that the team lost eight defensive
starters from the year before. And
for all of the above reasons, thats
why the Jayhawks finished at .500.
Kansas State brought in a new
coach and finished with a better
record than Kansas. Oh, and they
beat Texas too. Yeah, I know we beat
K-State, so what? Guess whos going
to a bowl before we are? Purple Rain.
Let me break down a few things
that I learned during the season.
For starters, Todd Reesing is
KUs quarterback of the future, not
Kerry Meier. Reesing is cooler in
the pocket, throws a better ball and
brings a spark to the offense. Meier
might be bigger than Reesing, but
thats the only advantage he has over
the Texan. Anyone who thinks Meier
is the better quarterback; youve got
another Dylan coming.
Second, Mangino needs to recon-
sider his offensive scheme, or lack
thereof. Does offensive coordinator
Nick Quartaro only have the Spark
Notes version of the playbook? Im
wondering, because it doesnt seem
that he has the full complement of
plays to choose from. Or maybe the
playbook has a full chapter dedicated
to the wide receiver screen and why
that play should be called 10 to 20
times a game. And who cant forget
the shovel pass? The cornerstone of
any stagnant passing offense.
Of course, its hard to throw down
field when its a toss up as to whether
your wide receivers are going to
catch the ball. I suppose receivers
coach Tim Beck told his guys not to
worry, because the chances of the
ball being thrown farther than 10
yards on any given play was slim.
And what if a receiver does drop
a pass, as evidenced numerous

Cornish will more than make up for

Kansas beat Dartmouth 83-32.
by shAwn shroyEr
Following a victory against
the No. 1 team in the country,
it would have been understand-
able if Kansas suffered a letdown
against a winless Dartmouth
squad.
That didnt happen, however,
as Kansas coasted to an 83-32
victory.
No letdown. Everybody was
excited about the Florida game.
We won, but its over now, junior
forward Darnell Jackson said.
Now weve just got to look ahead
and play every team the same as
we played Florida.
Kansas coach Bill Self said
the game was actually helpful
for Kansas because Dartmouth
ran a 3-2 zone, which Kansas
had previously struggled against.
Freshman forward Darrell Arthur
said the team usually didnt spend
too much time scouting oppo-
nents like Dartmouth.
We were just working on
stuff we needed to get better on,
Arthur said. We werent too
worried about what they were
going to do.
In a total team effort, the
Jayhawks dominated their inferi-
or opponent from start to finish.
Kansas freshman forward
Darrell Arthur won the opening
tip-off, and seconds later he put
the Jayhawks on the board, slam-
ming home an alley-oop from
junior guard Russell Robinson.
By the time Dartmouth made
its second basket of the game,
the team was already down 18-4.
Kansas jumped out to the early
lead as 6 minutes passed between
Dartmouths first and second
baskets.
The Big Green didnt even
reach double-digits until the 3:09
mark of the first half. Of course,

Former Jayhawk signed
to Kansas City Brigade
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
The Kansas City Brigade, of
the Arena Football league,
signed former Jayhawk
Ronnie Amadi on Tuesday.
Amadi was a defensive back for
Kansas between 2002-2005.
It feels real good to be part of
the team, Amadi said in a press re-
lease. Its a blessing to be getting
paid for playing the sport I love. Im
just ready to come in and help out
the team.
Since graduating from Kansas,
Amadi has tried out with the Buf-
falo Bills and played for the Tulsa
Talons in Arena Football 2.

Most accurate kicker fred
by fed-up Dallas Cowboys
IRVING, Texas The
Dallas Cowboys released
Mike Vanderjagt, appar-
ently tired of his inability
to live up to his reputa-
tion as the most accurate kicker in
league history. Martin Gramatica
was signed as his replacement.
In March, the Cowboys gave
Vanderjagt a $2.5 million bonus as
part of a three-year, $5.4 million
contract.
However, Vanderjagt was
injured and inconsistent in training
camp, plus reluctant to handle
kickofs. He was only 13-for-18 on
feld goals, the lowest success rate
(72 percent) of his career.

Tigers diver proves himself
on football feld as kicker
COLUMBIA, Mo. Diver-turned-
kicker Jef Wolfert missed his frst
career feld goal attempt this sea-
son for Missouri. Hes been almost
perfect ever since.
The sophomore from Overland
Park, who came to Missouri in
2004 for a diving scholarship, has
become the Tigers most consistent
source of points this year. Wolfert
has made 17-for-19 feld goals this
season and all 40 of his extra point
attempts.
The consistency has been
surprising even to Wolfert. Pinkel
didnt announce Wolfert as the
starter until the week of the opener
against Murray State, and he
started of shaky, missing a 41-yard
attempt against the Racers on his
frst-ever try.
But he hasnt missed since a 36-
yard try the following week against
Mississippi. Including extra points
he has made 46 consecutive kicks,
including three feld goals in a 42-
17 win over Kansas on Saturday.

(CONTINUED FROM 1B)
As I conclude, this season
was a major disappointment.
The team led 11 of its 12 games,
surrendering leads in the fourth
quarter. The coaching was sus-
pect all year, and when you get
down to it, has been for most
of Manginos regime. Granted
Kansas football is better now
than it was when Terry Allen was
here, but how much so? And if 6-
6 is all we can get when this team
has an easy schedule, can we ever
expect to, I dont know, surpass
Kansas State?
the last two games, including four
three-point shots. The Westerwinds
have an outstanding freshman of
their own. Jordon OBrien has come
off of the bench in all five Western
Illinois games to shoot 71 percent
and average eight points. It will be
a homecoming of sorts for OBrien,
who is from Parsons.
Western Illinois has won four
straight Mid-Continent Conference
titles, but its record stands at only 1-
4 this year. The Westerwinds return
only one starter from last years
team that went 23-7, senior point
guard DeeDee Murphy.
Murphy is averaging 10 points
per game this season and has 17
assists. To slow down her produc-
tion, senior guard Shaquina Mosley
and sophomore guard Ivana Catic
will have to disrupt passing lanes.
Catic saw her first start of the sea-
son on Monday. She failed to score
but added three steals for the season
to her team-high of eight, a statistic
more important to Henrickson.
Catic also leads the team with 11
assists. Its unsure if Catic will start
her second straight game as the third
guard or Henrickson will return to a
more traditional lineup with fresh-
man forward Sade Morris.
Morris started the first three
games but came off of the bench last
Monday. Shes third in both points,
with 8.5 per game, and rebounds,
with four per game, for the Jayhawks
this season.

REBOUNDING (CONTINUED FROM 1B)
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA After watching
the Atlanta Falcons lose their fourth
straight game, owner Arthur Blank
grabbed a front-row seat in the
interview room to hear what Jim
Mora and Michael Vick had to say.
Blank also pored over a stat sheet,
whispering some thoughts to his
top lieutenant while trying to fig-
ure out how another promising has
totally unraveled heading into the
final month.
This owner demands immediate
results. If things dont turn around
over the next five weeks, the Falcons
are certainly headed for big changes
starting with several members of
Moras staff and maybe extending all
the way to the head coach himself.
Technically, Atlanta (5-6) still has
time to turns things around in the
mediocre NFC, where 6-5 would be
good enough for the wild card if the
season ended today.
But after going 0-for-November,
the Falcons are below .500 for the
first time in Moras three-year tenure
and giving off few signs of being a
team that can pull out of its slide
before its too late.
Three of the losses during past
month were by double-figure mar-
gins the only exception being
an inexcusable 17-13 home loss to
woeful Cleveland (3-8). The Falcons
were blown out 30-14 at Detroit,
one of only two games the Lions
have won this season. Last Sunday,
Atlanta was all but eliminated from
the NFC West race by a 31-13 loss
to the Saints, who essentially have
a three-game lead on the Falcons
when the tiebreaker is factored in.
What makes this more troubling
is just how familiar it seems.
A year ago, coming off a giddy
run to the NFC championship game
in Moras rookie season as a head
coach, the Falcons started 6-2 and
were thinking Super Bowl. They
wound up losing six of their last
eight, extending the 40-year-old
franchises inglorious streak of never
having back-to-back winning sea-
sons.
Now, its happening all over again.
In one month, the Falcons have
gone from being 5-2 and angling for
home-field advantage in the playoffs
to showing all the telltale signs of a
team in disarray.
The offense is a mess, an incom-
patible juxtaposition of coordinator
Greg Knapps West Coast-style pass-
ing schemes and the zone-blocking
tactics used by the guys up front,
who answer to de facto line coach
Alex Gibbs.
Vick has never taken to Knapps
philosophy, which relies on short
drops and quick reads that seem ill-
suited for a 6-foot quarterback who
has trouble seeing over his linemen.
Vick is the 25th-rated quarterback
in the NFL and, most stunning, has
never put up better numbers playing
in Knapps offense than he did in his
one full season working with former
coach Dan Reeves.
Meanwhile, the shadowy Gibbs
whos technically a consultant
prefers smaller, quicker linemen
wholl carry out his controversial
blocking tactics in the running game
but are leakier than a colander when
it comes to pass blocking. Vick may
be the best running quarterback in
NFL history, but hes still managed to
get sacked 29 times playing behind a
no-name group that has zero Pro
Bowls on its collective resume.
When Vick does get off a pass,
tight end Alge Crumpler is about the
only reliable receiver on the team.
Former first-round picks Michael
Jenkins and Roddy White have been
major disappointments. Ashley
Lelie hasnt had the impact every-
one expected when he came to the
Falcons in a trade for T.J. Duckett.
Last week, Vicks receivers
dropped five passes, the most dam-
aging of those coming early in the
fourth quarter when a wide-open
White let the ball slip from his hands
at the New Orleans 10 after the
defender fell down. That snuffed
the life out of the Falcons, who were
down 21-13 at the time but totally
fell apart the rest of the way.
Mora insists hes not planning any
changes on his staff, but what else
do you expect him to say about guys
several of them close friends
who are still on the payroll? Clearly,
Knapp and receivers coach George
Stewart are on shaky ground. And
the Falcons wouldnt be able to hire
a competent replacement for Knapp
as long as Gibbs is hanging around.
If someone doesnt show up soon
for the Falcons, this team is headed
for a major shakeup.

Kansas holds
momentum
after Florida
By Mark Dent
Three days after battling against
two of the best low post players in
the country, Darnell Jackson was still
impressed.
Florida had them stallions, man,
the junior forward said.
Dartmouths two tallest players,
Elgin Fitzgerald and Kurt Graeber,
were not thorougbreds of the same
pedigree. Fitzgerald and Graeber
had scored a combined four points
coming into Tuesdays game, giving
the Jayhawks a break after facing one
of the nations best frontcourts.
Kansas took advantage of
Dartmouths lack of size and front-
court experience in its 83-32 victory
Tuesday night.
The Jayhawks rebounding margin
was almost as lopsided as the score.
They out rebounded the Big Green
52-23.
Were a lot bigger than they are,
Kansas coach Bill Self said. We
shouldve had a huge margin from
a rebounding standpoint, because
theyre not very big.
Kansas frontcourt did most of
its damage on the offensive side of
the ball. The Jayhawks finished with
23 offensive rebounds, also a season
high. The bounty of rebounds on
the offensive glass allowed Kansas to
score 22 second-chance points.
Before the game I told myself
I needed to start going to the glass
more, Jackson said. Being more
aggressive, trying to get every
rebound that comes off the rim.
Jackson didnt get all the rebounds,
but he did grab a team-high 11,
including seven offensive. One chain
of events illustrates the intensity
Jackson brought while crashing the
glass.
With about five minutes left in the
first half, sophomore guard Mario
Chalmers misfired on a three point-
er. Junior guard Rodrick Stewart
jumped into Jackson trying to tip
the ball in. During the collision,
Jackson sustained a cut that required
five stitches over his eye, but he
still managed to rebound Stewarts
missed tip, shoot the ball and get
fouled. Jackson tied for the teamlead
with 13 points.
Coach tells him to go in there
and be a banger, freshman forward
Darrell Arthur said about Jackson.
He just goes in there and knocks
everybody around. Hes a force.
Arthur could have called himself
a force as well, based on his perfor-
mance last night. He followed up
his 19-point game against Florida
with 13 points and eight rebounds.
Kansas other frontcourt players,
Julian Wright, Sasha Kaun and Matt
Kleinmann, combined for 18 points
and 12 rebounds.
Tuesdays banner performance
down low came after the Jayhawks
bettered the Gators vaunted front-
court. Kansas out rebounded Florida
in that game 38-35, and Jackson,
Arthur and Wright out scored the
Gators Noah, Horford and Richard
44-27.
Saturday, Kansas frontcourt will
face a tougher test than Dartmouth
provided when it travels to DePaul.
The Blue Demons frontcourt isnt
as skilled as Florida, but forward
Wilson Chandler could be a hand-
ful.
Wilson Chandler is great. Hes
an NBA guy, Self said. Our guys
will have to really take a challenge to
guard him and attack him.

Amanda Sellers/KANSAN
Julian Wright, sophomore forward, prepares to layup past Dartmouths junior guard, Jonathan
Ball, in Allen Fieldhouse onTuesday night. Wright had eight rebounds and scored 12 points.
thats what happens when a team
shoots just 26.3 percent from the
field in one half.
It was so bad in the first half that,
for nearly 6 minutes, the Big Green
had as many, or more, fouls than
they had points.
It didnt get any better in the sec-
ond half, when Dartmouth shot 24.1
percent. The Big Green went nearly
8 minutes in the second half before
scoring.
As if Kansas needed any more
help winning its fifth straight game,
Dartmouth basically gave the game
away. The Jayhawks scored half of
their 40 first half points off Big Green
turnovers. Dartmouth only had five
more turnovers in the second half,
but by then, it was too late.
In fact, the Jayhawks would
have fared pretty well against the
Big Green, even without their start-
ers. Kansas bench players matched
Dartmouths 13 first half points and
outscored the Big Green for the
game, 39-32.
Jackson not only had the best
game of any bench player, but also the
best game of any Jayhawk. Jackson
recorded a double-double with 13
points, tying a career high, and a
game-high 11 rebounds. Jackson had
four rebounds on one Kansas pos-
session alone.
Jackson had to earn it as he was
forced to leave the game in the first
half after taking an elbow to his
right eye, which started to bleed. He
received five stitches and was back in
the second half.
It wasnt a juiced-up effort, but
certainly pretty methodical, and
guys seemed to make some pretty
solid plays, Self said.
Following an MVP performance
in Las Vegas last week, sophomore
forward Julian Wright had 12 points,
eight rebounds and three steals.
Arthur finished with 13 points, eight
rebounds and five blocks.
The only Dartmouth player to
have a notable game was guard
DeVon Mosley, who scored 13 points
and connected on three of five three-
point attempts.
Despite the lopsided score,
Kansas played like it was a close
game. At one point Jackson, junior
center Sasha Kaun and freshman
guard Sherron Collins all laid-out
for a loose ball.
Self said that after a game like the
one last night, there wasnt much
to tell the team in the locker room.
About all he told the team was:
Good job; everybody got a
chance to play. You should leave here
feeling good about yourself. Dont
miss class tomorrow, Self said.
game NoTes:
Junior guard Rodrick Stewart

ST. LOUIS The St. Louis
Cardinals on Tuesday made their
first free-agent moves since winning
the World Series, signing right-hand-
ed pitcher Kip Wells and second
baseman Adam Kennedy.
The Cardinals also re-signed back-
up catcher Gary Bennett to a one-
year, $900,000 deal with an option
for 2008 and signed Eli Marrero,
once their starting catcher, to a minor
league contract with an invitation to
spring training.
Wells, 29, could fill one of three
vacancies in the rotation. World
Series heroes Jeff Suppan, Jeff Weaver,
along with Jason Marquis, all are free
agents.
Wells was a combined 1-6 with
the Pirates and Rangers in an injury-
plagued 2006, going to Texas on the
trade deadline for prospects. He fin-
ished the year on the 15-day disabled
list with a foot injury.
For his career, Wells is 57-74 with
a 4.46 ERA.
Wells led major league pitchers
with 18 losses in 2005 and missed
the first half of the season following
surgery, performed in St. Louis, to
repair a blocked artery near his right
shoulder.
Kennedy, who was a first-round
pick by the Cardinals in 1997, was
part of a trade with the Angles that
sent Jim Edmonds to St. Louis in
2000. He was once considered the
Cardinals second baseman of the
future. He replaces Ronnie Belliard,
a trade deadline acquisition from the
Indians last year, who is a free agent.
Kennedy, 30, hit .273 with 55 RBIs
and 16 stolen bases last season for
the Angels. He has a career batting
average of .280 with 52 homers and
123 stolen bases.
Bennett hit .223 with four homers
last season as the backup to Yadier
Molina. Marrero, 33, began his career
with the Cardinals in 1997. He hit
just .217 in 30 games with Colorado
last season, and has a lifetime aver-
age of .243, but can play several
positions.
Earlier in the offseason, the
Cardinals re-signed Edmonds and
utilityman Scott Spiezio to two-year
contracts.

McGwire to appear
on Hall of Fame ballot
By RONALd BLUM
ASSOciATed pReSS
NEW YORK Tony La Russa
will defend Mark McGwire until
the end: To him, Big Mac is a Hall
of Famer.
Ive believed in him from day
one. I still believe in him, the
St. Louis Cardinals manager said
Tuesday in a telephone interview
with The Associated Press.
McGwire is appearing on the
Hall of Fame ballot for the first
time, and an AP survey of 125
baseball writers who are eligible
to vote about 20 percent of the
total showed that only one in
four who gave an opinion planned
to vote for McGwire.
It would be two in five then. Id
make it two in five, La Russa said.
I cant answer for anybody else,
what priorities they give and how
they weigh stuff. I know what my
personal opinion is, and thats the
way it stays.
McGwire, a 12-time All-Star, is
seventh on the career home run list
with 583, but his status plummeted
in the minds of many after former
Oakland teammate Jose Canseco
accused him last year of using ste-
roids. McGwire evaded questions
during a March 2005 congressio-
nal hearing, saying repeatedly: Im
not here to talk about the past.
La Russa managed McGwire
from 1986-95 with the Oakland
Athletics, then from 1997-2001
with the Cardinals. La Russa
repeatedly has said that he never
saw McGwire use any perfor-
mance-enhancing drugs.
Ive watched him for years and
years and years work out and take
care of himself, and if any of us do
that, we get bigger and stronger,
La Russa said.
McGwires business manager,
Jim Milner, did not return tele-
phone calls Monday and Tuesday
seeking comment.
St. Louis beat the Detroit Tigers
in five games last month for its first
World Series title since 1982. For
La Russa, this offseason is a time
to savor.
Its been good, he said.
Enjoying every bit of it.

Injured player remains inactive for season
BY STEVE BRISENDINE
ASSOCIATED PRESS
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Running
back Priest Holmes will not return to
the Kansas City Chiefs this season.
However, Chiefs general man-
ager Carl Peterson said Tuesday
that recent medical tests on Holmes
have been encouraging and Holmes
hopes to return for the 2007 season.
Tuesday was the last day the Chiefs
could have activated Holmes.
He does not, at this time, plan
to give up football, Peterson said.
Were looking at another evaluation
in January or February of 07.
The three-time Pro Bowler, who
turned 33 last month, has not played
since Oct. 30, 2005, when he was
injured on a hit by Chargers line-
backer Shawne Merriman in a game
at San Diego. The hit left him with
head and neck trauma, diagnosed by
three spinal specialists.
He missed the last nine games
of the season after skipping the last
eight games of the 2004 season with
a knee injury. He has appeared in
all 16 games in a season only four
times since breaking into the NFL
in 1997.
Peterson said Holmes, who is
under contract through 2009, told
him on Friday that he wanted to
remain on the physically-unable-to-
perform list through this season.
Were 12 weeks into the regular
season, Peterson said. Without get-
ting into the medical aspects of it, I
think there were some questions as
to whether he could have himself
ready to play.
Peterson declined to say whether
Holmes would have been able to
return had he gotten the same evalu-
ations earlier in the season rather
than within the past week.
Holmes had his best year in 2003,
when he repaid a lucrative con-
tract extension by rushing for 1,420
yards and setting an NFL record
with 27 touchdowns. Seattles Shaun
Alexander broke the record with 28
TDs last year.
Since Holmes injury, though,
Larry Johnson has emerged as
Kansas Citys marquee running back
and Holmes has been all but invis-
ible, staying at his home in Texas
instead of working out with the
Chiefs in Kansas City.
That was nothing unusual for the
intensely private and enigmatic back
who became a surprise star after
going undrafted out of Texas.
He joined Baltimore as a rookie
free agent in 1997, rushing for 1,008
yards the following season, before
taking on a reduced role behind
Jamal Lewis. He came to Kansas City
as an unrestricted free agent before
the 2001 season, when he led the
league in rushing with 1,555 yards
and earned his first Pro Bowl berth.
He ran for 1,615 yards in 2002,
third in the league, despite missing
the last two games with a hip injury
that prompted the Chiefs to take
Johnson with their first-round pick
in the 2003 draft.
With Priest, you can never count
him out, said Holmes agent, Todd
France. In my mind, theres no
question. In his mind, theres no
question.
In everyone elses mind, hes been
second-guessed his entire career, and
people have been wrong.
Peterson said he has maintained
regular contact with Holmes and
the team understood and supported
the running backs decision to stay
in Texas.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Priest Holmes will remain out for the rest of the season. The Chiefs general
manager said Holmes hopes to return for the 2007-08 season.
