Te two-year ab-
sence of Joes Bakery
and its doughnuts
has inspired former
owner Ralph Smith
to fnally give away
the well-kept secret
locals have been
asking for: the
doughnuts origi-
nal recipe.
Joes Bakery
was the revered
place where many
students and lo-
cals would go to get
fresh doughnuts and,
through word of
mouth, the tradition
was passed through
generations of KU
students and Lawrence
residents. Afer the Bak-
erys original owner Joe
Smith died, his son Ralph
took over until the busi-
ness closed two years
ago.
Smith said
students and the
general popula-
tion of Lawrence
had treated him
and his family
well during the
years. As a way
to thank them, he
said hes giving away
the recipe as a piece of
Lawrence and the bakerys
history.
To honor the bakery
his father created in
1952 as well as to pro-
mote his new business,
Smith has decided to
give away the dough-
nut recipe to anyone
who shows up at the store
before the KU football
game on Saturday.
People seem to love Joes Bak-
ery, Smith said. But you know, heres an
opportunity to have a piece of, I think
of history, right there as a giveaway, and
theyre welcome to go out and make these
doughnuts.
Darwin Eakins has been a neighbor
to Joes Bakery for more than 30 years, a
place he frequently visted when it was still
open.
Te frst few years, I liked the dough-
nuts and at nine oclock at night, they had
the hot doughnuts, you know, that kind of
thing, Eakins said. Which is why I got a
couple pounds on me.
Since the bakery closed, Eakins said he
has lost about 60 pounds.
Smith said he recalled the times when
the bakery would make
fresh doughnuts before
midnight and the line
of students who would
make their way toward
the bakery afer bars
closed.
Fritz Helbert, Topeka
senior, lives in Grace
Pearson Scholarship Hall
and said he remembered
midnight runs to Joes
Bakery with friends.
He said it was a popular activity the
scholarship hall students would partici-
pate in and was surprised to learn they had
closed.
Smith said the bakerys late-night
business could have declined because of
competition from restaurants around town
that stay open well into the night and early
morning.
Te market changes, Smith said. I
mean, when I was in business,
I certainly can remember
when there werent any drive-
ins open past 10 o clock, and
then they started staying open
later, and lord knows, now
theyre open 24 hours a day.
Now, what was once Joes
Bakery is Smiths new busi-
ness endeavour that sells col-
lectibles, stamps and origi-
nal cards. While it no longer
houses fresh-made doughnuts, students
and Lawrence residents will be able to take
home a piece of local history and the reci-
pe to continue Joes tradition in their own
kitchens.

Cousins
with local
ties start
magazine
BY JESSE BROWN
jbrown@kansan.com
It was cousins Corban Goble
and Marshall Rakes ambition
to create a magazine that would
combine their areas of study.
While Rakes background is
mostly in design, Gobles is in
writing. Goble graduated from
the University of Kansas in
2008 with a degree in English
and economics, and Rake grew
up in Lawrence and graduated
from the Art Center College of
Design in Pasadena, Calif.
While Rake was living in
Sweden, Goble came to visit,
and the two developed the idea
to start a magazine. Originally,
their idea was to create a print
magazine that primarily includ-
ed short stories. However, the
idea evolved into a Web maga-
zine that instead includes inter-
views, artwork from various
designers and selected contrib-
uted fiction.
The reality of the journal-
istic landscape at that point
which was winter 2008 and
January 2009 when the site
launched it was just a lot
easier to put the content up on
a Web site, Goble said. And
went from there, been doing it
for nine months now.
Epilogue magazine was born.
It serves those who are inter-
ested in design and content and
will help readers get in touch
with culture that the creators
think is relevant.
The magazine, which is based
in New York and Los Angeles, is
not opinionated or pretentious,
said its creators.
We try to be a filter, Rake
said. We dont take any stances.
We dont do any reviews. We
only do interviews, and we only
present information.
Rake said the magazines
purpose was not to be offensive
or exclusive, but to make read-
ers aware of the cultural trends
across the country, whether its
a band or an artist. Goble said
he and Rake declared them-
selves best friends aside from
being cousins, which helped the
working process.
We have really good chem-
istry naturally, and its kind of
second nature the way we work,
Goble said. We both try to take
on a little more.
Goble and Rake said they
were constantly updating the site
and were grateful to those who
contributed to the magazine.
We were very fortunate to
have a group of friends both in
Los Angeles and here in New
York City and Brooklyn that are
very extremist of the people,
Goble said. We had access to
these networks of people really
early, which was awesome.
One of the contributors to
the magazine is Matt Marsaglia,
Maperville, Ill., junior, who is
working on his writing skills for
the magazine.

Local burger and Co-op team up, collect rain
BY BETH BEAVERS
bbeavers@kansan.com
Lawrence has been wetter than
usual this summer, recording an
inch more rain than average this
month alone. Members of the Ad
Astra Student Cooperative House,
1033 Kentucky St., are trying to
capture some of it and put it to
good use.
Three members of the house
installed a rain barrel on the roof
of Local Burger, 714 Vermont St.,
which is used to collect rain water.
Local Burger then uses the collected
rain to water their plants.
Mundia Filngawa, an employee
at Local Burger, said the restaurant
previously used tap water to water
the plants, but are now using the
water from the rain barrel in an
effort to conserve water.
When the Ad Astra house moved
in 2005, house members installed
three rain barrels at the new loca-
tion. They use the water on their
garden, their lawn and on house
plants as well.
The vibe of student co-op was
sustainability, said Ezra Huscher,
Salina senior. We used milk paints
when we painted the house, which
have less chemicals, and we recycle
everything.
The idea to install the rain barrel
at Local Burger came from a previ-
ous house member who was friends
with the owner of Local Burger and
decided to get Ad Astra involved.
He said, Im sure Ad Astra could
do this for you, Huscher said. So
we came together as a house to get
it done.
Ian Stanford, Fairway senior, said
he, Huscher and one other student
were involved in the construction
and installation of the rain barrel.
They designed the barrel, which
features a flexible spout on top to
collect water, a faucet on the side to
dispense the water, and an overflow
hose on the side. They also had to
do some landscaping, which includ-
ed building a brick foundation to
prevent erosion and creating a trail
that leads excess run-off water to
the parking lot. He said it took the
three a full day of work to complete
and it cost about $50 in materials.

Cooperative House helped build it. The fowered barrel collects water fromthe roof, and Local

Attorney General announces run for Senate
BY GLEN JOHNSON
Associated Press
BOSTON Attorney General
Martha Coakley announced
Thursday she will run as a
Democratic candidate in the spe-
cial election to succeed the late Sen.
Edward M. Kennedy.
The 20-year prosecutor
said she can continue to be an
effective voice for the people of
Massachusetts.
Kennedy died last week of brain
cancer at age 77.
Coakley said at a news confer-
ence the state has had a crisis of
confidence following Kennedys
death and she wants to pick up his
mantle.
Weve depended on him here
in the Commonwealth and in
Washington, and we will miss his
strength and leadership and his
sense of humor. As some have
noted, no one can fill his shoes,
but we must strive to follow in his
footsteps, she told supporters at a
downtown Boston hotel.
Coakley sidestepped a question
from reporters whether she favored
the changing state law to allow the
governor to appoint an interim
senator, as Kennedy had request-
ed in a letter before his death.
Legislators hold a hearing on the
matter next week.
For me, personally, I am fully
focused on the race, she said, add-
ing she trusted legislators will
make the right decision.
The 56-year-old Coakley
becomes the most prominent can-
didate to officially declare. Several
others are waiting for Kennedys
nephew, former Rep. Joseph P.
Kennedy II to decide if he will
run.
Coakley said in response to
a question she decided to com-
mit to the race without waiting
to see if a Kennedy family mem-
ber would run because the senator
had declared, in his letter seeking
an interim appointment, the state
needs strong and effective repre-
sentation in Washington.
In a follow-up interview with
The Associated Press, she said:
Growing up in the Vietnam era
has made her wary of President
Barack Obama getting dragged
into a protracted military engage-
ment in Afghanistan, but I trust
him for now.
She has focused on health care
cost containment as attorney gen-
eral, since Massachusetts has the
nations first universal health insur-
ance law, and is in favor of it being
included any overhaul law the
president signs. She also said a so-
called public option for providing
government-sponsored insurance
should be considered.
She dismissed as frivolous a
Massachusetts Republican Party
complaint that she used $24,000
in state campaign money to pay
Washington-based consultants as
she considered a federal campaign.
She said all her actions have been
in compliance with state and fed-
eral ethics laws.
Coakley told her supporters she
decided to run because govern-
ment should work well and it has to
work for everyone, adding that the
performance of government has
been in some ways disheartening
and discouraging.
Other potential Democratic can-
didates include U.S. Reps. Michael
Capuano and Stephen Lynch.
Potential Republican candidates
include former Lt. Gov. Kerry
Healey, state Sen. Scott Brown and
former Boston Red Sox pitcher
Curt Schilling.

Student shot by stray bullet while walking on campus
BY DORIE TURNER
Associated Press
ATLANTA A 19-year-
old college student walking on
campus with friends was struck
and killed by a stray bullet early
Tursday at Clark Atlanta Uni-
versity, police said.
Jasmine Lynn,
of Kansas City,
Mo., was struck
in the chest when
shots were fred
during a fght
nearby. A Clark
Atlanta student
who was with
Lynn was hit by
a bullet on the
wrist and was treated at a hospital
and released, police said.
Lynn was a student at neigh-
boring Spelman College, part of
the historically black Atlanta
University Center.
One of the friends actually
heard the gunshots, actually saw
the weapon and told her to get
on the ground, Atlanta Police
Lt. Keith Meadows said. As she
was getting on the ground, she got
shot in the chest. Meadows said
Lynn was taken to Grady Memo-
rial Hospital, where she died.
Meadows said ofcers believe
only one gun was fred, but that
it was fred at least six times. He
said there may be more than one
suspect.
He said police
were interviewing
someone they con-
sidered a possible
witness, not a sus-
pect.
Police said securi-
ty cameras probably
captured the gunfre
but that they do not
yet have a clear de-
scription of the shooter.
Hours later, students hurried
across the campus complex in a
morning rain.
Achanti Perine, 19, a junior
public relations major at Clark
Atlanta from
Prince Georges
County, Md.,
was walking to
class, as she usu-
ally does, near
the scene of the
shooting. She
said she had not
heard about the
killing.
We all are
aware of what goes on around this
campus, so Im not surprised, she
said of the neighborhood. Tats
too close to home.
At a memorial service at
Spelmans chapel, college presi-
dent Beverly Daniel Tatum said
she had spoken with Lynns
mother and grandmother. Tey
are devastated, Tatum said.
I know this is very unsettling
for all of us. But this is the kind
of horrible incident that could
have happened anywhere, Tatum
said.
Students cried and held each
other at the service. One had to
leave because she was crying so
hard.
An administra-
tor said the chapel
would be lef open
for students to use
as needed and that
grief counseling ses-
sions that started
Tursday morning
will continue.
Campus ofcials
said they will hold
a series of town hall meetings
on Tursday for faculty, staf and
students to give updates and dis-
cuss campus safety.
Clark Atlanta, Spelman, More-
house College and the More-
house School of Medicine make
up the Atlanta University Center.
Te historically black colleges
are next door to each other in a
southwest Atlanta neighborhood.
Te campuses are so close its of-
ten hard to tell where one ends
and another begins.
Students commonly cross be-
tween schools to visit each other
and can take courses on each oth-
ers campuses.
One of the friends
actually heard the gun-
shots, actually saw the
weapon and told her to
get on the ground.

Madonna gives frst gig
in Israel in 16 years
TEL AVIV, Israel Madonna
brought her mix of provocative
music and spirituality to the Holy
Land with a concert Tuesday in
front of 50,000 fans who had
endured a 16-year wait since the
pop icons last gig in Israel.
Madonna is wrapping up her
worldwide Sticky & Sweet tour.
She opened with her 2008
single, Candy Shop and moved
through a tightly choreographed
performance that included a
series of colorful costumes and
range of hits, new and old.
I shouldnt have stayed so long
away, she told the adoring crowd
midway through the show.
The 51-year-old entertainer has
long claimed a special bond with
the Jewish state.
Shes been dabbling in Kab-
balah, a form of Jewish mysticism,
for more than a decade. Shes
come on private pilgrimages in
recent years.
Late Monday, the pop diva
dined with Israels moderate
parliamentary opposition leader,
Tzipi Livni, at Madonnas request,
Livni spokesman Gil Messing said.
Her main political rival, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
will receive Madonna at his Jeru-
salem residence on Friday.

Sen. Kennedy memoir
discusses Chappaquiddick
WASHINGTON Sen. Edward
M. Kennedy said in a new book
that he was not romantically
involved with young Mary Jo
Kopechne and that he never
escaped the despair he felt after
she died in a 1969 car crash.
He acknowledged that he
enjoyed women and drink but
said reports of wild Kennedy
excesses were exaggerated. He
said he always has accepted the
conclusion that a lone assassin
killed his brother John
The memoir, True Compass,
will be published posthumously
on Sept. 14. It is to be published
by Twelve.
In it, Kennedy said his actions
on Chappaquiddick on July 18,
1969, were inexcusable.
Kennedy drove of a bridge
into a pond. He swam to safety,
leaving Kopechne in the car.
Kopechne, 28, a former
worker with Robert Kennedys
campaign, was found dead in
the submerged cars back seat
10 hours later.
The book was written with the
help of a collaborator.

T
he new Jr. Williams Fund
is a practical, inexpensive
way for interested students
to earn rewards in the future for
their current loyalty.
Starting this year, students tak-
ing at least six credit hours can
enroll in the Jr. Williams Fund
for $25. Enrollment in this fund
grants them 10 preferred seat-
ing points per year, for up to 40
points over four years. In addition,
Jr. Williams Fund members can
receive 20 points by donating at
least $100 within a year of gradua-
tion and 20 points for buying sea-
son tickets all four years of their
enrollment.
This is a smart investment for
students who know theyll want to
attend games as alumni.
Rewarding students for their
current involvement, either by
offering them points for season
tickets or by granting
them points at a dis-
counted rate, makes
sense for both students
and Kansas Athletics.
Students have the
chance to gain a considerable head
start in getting seats at Memorial
Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse. It
is possible to earn 80 points for
about $800 dollars.
According to documentation
on the Jr. Williams Fund Web site,
10 points is equivalent to a $1,000
donation, meaning students are
receiving a very sizable discount.
Even more, they are receiving
points for things numerous stu-
dents have paid for already, such
as season tickets.
At the same time, Kansas
Athletics has an opportunity to
bring more alumni into their suc-
cessful Williams Fund program.
According to Associate Athletics
Director Jim Marchiony, students
will have the opportunity to learn
about the fund during special Jr.
Williams Fund only events, such
as tailgates.
We wanted to do
something that would
give them [students] a
head start, Marchiony
said.
And having that
head start, more alumni, who
earned a sizable number of points
as students, might be more willing
to donate to the Williams Fund.
Kansas Athletics should be rec-
ognized for their continued fund-
raising prowess. They are offering
students a valuable commodity
and shrewdly building their donor
base. At the same time, money can
often be an invasive species in the
ecosystem of college athletics.
Though the Jr. Williams Fund
does not exclude students who
choose not to be involved from
the game day experience, Kansas
Athletics should make an effort to
ensure this stays the same.
The Jr. Williams Fund is a
deserved reward for the diehard
fan, however Kansas Athletics
could also take this opportunity
to bring more casual fans into
the great world of Kansas foot-
ball, basketball and athletics in
general.
The involvement of an entire
student body is what makes for
victories as thrilling as weve seen
in past years and hopefully will
witness soon again.

H
uman sexuality is a
delicate subject. Certain
elements of it are taboo in
our society, and yet it is an absolute
necessity for the propagation
of our civilization. Within the
complexity of sexuality in general,
the mystery of homosexuality
remains controversial and
misunderstood.
The scientific research of
homosexuality is scattered and
difficult to interpret, but it weaves
a picture that allows us to place
homosexuality in a natural and
biological context.
Homosexuality is an
extraordinarily problematic
phenomenon to research. It
extends to many disciplines,
including genetics, developmental
biology, neurobiology and even
evolutionary biology. Many
scientists may have different
definitions of homosexuality,
making comparing research
across fields very difficult.
Many more find the
dichotomous distinction of
heterosexuality and homosexuality
arbitrary and oversimplifying, as
most research demonstrates that
sexual orientation itself exists as
a spectrum.
The genetic model as the basis
for homosexuality is still in its
infancy. There is almost certainly
no single gene that creates the
straight or gay sexual orientation;
it is more likely a huge assortment
of genes, potentially expressed at
different times and levels, that
creates the complex structure of
homosexuality.
Many studies in fruit flies have
clearly shown that sexual behavior
is tightly connected to genetics,
and it remains very likely that
human sexuality is a function of
the interactions of many genes.
The environment of the womb
for the growing child may also play
a role in shaping sexual behavior.
Scientists have shown that with
each male child a mother has,
the newborn male has a greater
chance of being gay.
In simple terms, the mother
develops an immunologic
resistance to the male child,
which may alter its neurological
development and sexual
orientation. In many ways,
homosexuality may be ultimately
determined before birth.
The brains of heterosexuals and
homosexuals differ substantially.
Certain clusters of specialized
neurons show relatively consistent
differences between those of
straight men and those of gay
men.
In general, the brains of
homosexual men tended to more
closely fit the female anatomic
model. Whether this is a result
of genetic predisposition or
plasticity over experience has yet
to be determined.
But homosexuality in humans
needs to be placed into the context
of all life on the planet.
A recent review of the scientific
literature has shown that nearly
every animal species on earth has
been observed demonstrating
homosexual behavior. Some
albatrosses nest as two females
because of shortages of males,
and many social species, such as
dolphins, demonstrate same-sex
behavior as a form of bonding.
Many scientists argue that the
homosexuality displayed in these
animals helps improve the survival
of the species as a whole. Humans
are not alone in displaying diverse
sexual behaviors.
The science of homosexuality
is broad, complex and constantly
evolving. But science cannot give
an answer to the moral question
of homosexuality. Science can
inform these judgments, but these
scientific findings cannot dictate
moral decisions.
By continuing to inquire into
the nature of our homosexuality,
we can learn to better understand
the sexuality of ourselves and
others.

No room for bikes on busy streets
sCienCe
L
et me paint a little pic-
ture for you. Its a beau-
tiful Saturday morning.
The birds are chirping, the sun is
shining, the coffee is brewing and
everything is as it should be. You
fill a cup of coffee, grab your keys
and head to your car.
You jump in and start to head
down Iowa Street toward our
beloved Massachusetts Street
when you hit your first roadblock
of the day. A bicyclist is riding in
front of you, and you cannot fig-
ure out for the life of you why.
As you sit in your car, you keep
asking yourself why the bicyclist
is in the middle of the street
instead of the sidewalk where
bicyclists should be when all of
a sudden you spill your coffee.
Now it looks as if you pissed
yourself.
To make matters worse, it looks
as if the incredible mass of the
Lance Armstrong allegiance has
turned in front of you while youre
stuck at a stoplight. Traffic is
grounded to a hault for the next
25 minutes.
You grow frantic and start to
throw things while yelling at the
radio. Your once-perfect morn-
ing has now turned into what a
severely obese yellow cat likes to
call the Mondays.
Now, I know what youre think-
ing: This is a severe exaggeration
and a waste of space to tell a long
tall tale and get nothing done. In
one sense you are right; this is a
severe exaggeration.
But I tell you this exaggera-
tion to convey a specific point.
Nothing grinds my gears as much
as the bikers in this town who ride
in the middle of the street, espe-
cially when there is a sidewalk or
bike lane nearby.
I can tolerate those riding their
bikes on Jayhawk Boulevard, those
on Massachusetts Street and even
the ones on the back roads. But it
really gets at me when bikers are
on Iowa Street, one of the busiest
streets in Lawrence.
This is an annoyance to me and
many other drivers in the com-
munity, especially when it slows
down traffic.
Where there are designated bike
lanes, bikers should stay out of car
lanes. When I have to go to class,
work or a movie, a slow biker can
really put a rain cloud over my
day.
My message to the bikers is sim-
ply this: Stay in the bike lane or on
the sidewalk and think of others.
It really grinds everyones gears to
be late for prior engagements they
cannot be late for.

New beer can design
makes little diference
A
nheuser-Busch recently
released a new style of
Bud Light cans featuring
the colors of 27 schools across the
nation. The University of Kansas
was chosen, and now thousands of
cans are being lined with crimson
and blue as part of this Fan Cans
series.
The University has asked
Anheuser-Busch not to involve
them with the project because it
promotes underage drinking. This
makes no sense.
This isnt an attempt by the
University to help with the
underage drinking problem, but
an attempt to show their rich,
stuck-up alumni that theyre
trying to do something about it.
Underage drinkers at this
University do not need some
flashy and exciting Bud Light can
as a reason to start drinking. If
they want to drink, theyll drink.
Its been mentioned that this
situation has comparisons to Joe
College on Massachusetts Street.
Its exactly the same.
The University doesnt actually
care about the inappropriate,
immature and often vulgar T-shirts
sold by the store, but rather trying
to show those same rich, stuck-up
alumni that they are making at
least an attempt to remain a decent
and well-mannered University.
I can guarantee you that many
members of the administration
will be buying those crimson and
blue Bud Light cans this Saturday
when they are tailgating before the
football game.
They could care less about the
results of their requests to Joe
College and Anheuser-Busch.
They just care about looking good
in the eyes of the alumni.

rowing
Mlb
Current team holds more experience than ever
by Max RothMan
mrothman@kansan.com
There is a scarce something that
speeds one boat ahead of the oth-
ers. The spectators may credit skill.
The rowers may simply call it a
good day. The trained eye knows
that comfort lies with a familiar
face on the boat.
Synchronization is the founda-
tion to success in rowing. A stan-
dard race amounts to a lengthy
2,000 meters. A rowers stroke
rate approximates to 38-40 strokes
per minute at the start of a race,
descends to 28-34 in the middle
of the race and can then swiftly
accelerate to 42 strokes-per-min-
ute to cap it all off. If an entire
boat of eight rowers can gracefully
glide as one, the result is a punish-
ing tempo. To regulate this tempo
stems from a tool mastered with
time: experience.
The whole team is more expe-
rienced than we have been in the
last three or four years, coach Rob
Catloth said.
It is this widespread experience
that presents Catloth with a good
problem to have. How will he pick
the first varsity eight to represent
the team?
Competitiveness, determina-
tion and hard work these are
the things that get anyone a spot,
Catloth said.
Following the essentials are the
intangibles. After 1,800 meters of
pounding muscles all across your
body, who can reach down into the
depths and find that extra burst
when you need it most?
Everyone wants to be on that
first boat, senior Stacy Rachow
said. You have to come out and
give it your all.
If one rower isnt keeping her
pace with the rest, several other
worthy suitors will be waiting.
Its not like anyone is think-
ing, Thats how its going to be for
the rest of the year, Rachow said.
Competition will keep the first
boat the best.
Catloth said that depth is a dan-
gerous weapon for this years team.
We have a good, strong group
of women that will be vying for
that first and second eight, he
said.
The fiery desire to creep into the
cream stirred with years of row-
ing experience has translated into
practices that are far more produc-
tive than they used to be. What
was once reviewing technicalities
has turned into pushing for more
meters every day.
In adding the help of Catloth
and his cronies, such as new assis-
tant coach George Jenkins, to the
concoction, the team looks poised
for triumph.
[Jenkins] is going to be a real
benefit for our team, bringing
different ideas and vocabulary
and different ways to get better,
Rachow said.
Catloth believes that this year he
will find the components of a true
team to beat.
Rowing is a team sport, not
an individual sport, he said. Its
about finding twenty fast rowers.
As the blades of eights oars hover
over mysterious waters, sometimes
knowing that your team is with you
for the ride is that scarce some-
thing.
When you depend on each
other every practice, theres no
doubt in your mind that everyone
else is giving it their all, Rachow
said.

Former Red Sox pitcher wont rule out run for Senate
by GLEn JohnSon
Associated Press
BOSTON Former Boston
Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling
said Thursday the chances of him
running to replace Democrat
Edward M. Kennedy in the U.S.
Senate are slim to none but he
will not rule it out.
The three-time World Series
champion said he retired from
baseball in March to spare his
family the downside of the public
spotlight. He has also invested
millions in his fledgling video-
gaming business, 38 Studios.
Yet the 42-year-old told a Boston
radio station that Massachusetts is
in desperate need of fresh politi-
cal blood.
This state, next to Illinois, is
probably looked on as one of the
most corrupt, laughable politi-
cal scenes in the
nation, and it
should be just the
opposite, he said
during one of his
regular appear-
ances on WEEI-
AM, a sports radio
station. I think
theres so much
broke here, that
the fixing piece, I
dont think youd have to look
very hard to pick up the pieces
of debris and start to reform and
fix it.
While Schilling
has never run for or
held political office,
he said it was an
asset because he was
unencumbered by
special interest con-
nections.
My credentials
are that I have no
baggage, he said.
The typically blunt Schilling
also wasnt afraid of speaking in a
politically incorrect manner.
The person that works 9-to-5
for crap dollars gets spat on, and
its becoming a state thats next
to impossible to live and prosper
in, and I think it was anything
but when it was founded, he said
at one point. At another, he pro-
claimed, The status quo sucks.
The status quo is not working.
Kennedy died last week of brain
cancer at age 77. A primary is
scheduled for Dec. 8 and the gen-
eral election will be Jan. 19.
Schilling has campaigned for
Republicans but would have to
run as an independent because his
voter status is unenrolled.
He said he would have to make a
decision in relatively short order
but gave no specific deadline. And
he expressed surprise at the reac-
tion after he told a cable televi-
sion reporter he was considering
a campaign.
The chances of it happening
are slim to none, but they ran with
Ive been thinking about it, so its
gone nuts, he said.

zgetz@kansan.com
The Kansas volleyball team will
host the Jayhawk Invitational this
weekend at the Horejsi Family
Athletics Center. Kansas will face
Lipscomb (2-1) at noon and Florida
International (2-1) at 7 p.m. on
Friday and then face Creighton
(2-1) at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
Kansas is coming off of a 2-1
finish last weekend at the Middle
Tennessee State Tournament.
They defeated Xavier and Murray
State University but lost to Middle
Tennessee State University.
We didnt let our one loss affect
us into the next day, and I think we
can take that into this weekend,
freshman middle blocker Tayler
Tolefree said.
Tolefree said that she was nervous
in her first weekend of matches, but
that they taught her to be prepared
and to focus on the game plan.
Im ready to go in at any moment
whenever they need me and no mat-
ter what the score is, Tolefree said.
Kansas will need to be ready
because all three teams placed in
the top two of their respected divi-
sions last year. Florida International
went to the NCAA Volleyball
Tournament and is returning six
starters from last year.
If you overlook any of these
teams this weekend, youre going to
be in trouble, coach Ray Bechard
said. Itll be one of the stronger
fields weve had.
Bechard said the main goal was a
first place finish, but he also wants
the team to improve by playing
tougher competition and to prepare
for the strong Big 12 Conference
competition.
The goal is to win our tourna-
ment, and we will probably have to
beat all three to do that, Bechard
said. The main focus is to be in a
better place statistically and execu-
tion-wise than you were before.
Bechard said the team showed
improvement in areas that the team
has been working on such as pass-
ing and serving efficiency, but the
team still needs to work on blocking
and digging.
Senior middle blocker Brittany
Williams said she knows she needs
to tighten up her game if the team is
going to do well.
I think my hitting errors equaled
the number of kills I had, Williams
said. So basically I hit 0 percent.
Williams said she felt her high
energy level helped the team over
the weekend and said what many
of her teammates have been saying,
that the team has been really close
this season and have been playing
hard for each other.

starting its season with a home
meet, the Bob Timmons Classic
at Rim Rock Farm, on Saturday.
Its the first meet of the season
to just get our feet back under us
and to get in the mentality of rac-
ing again, junior Nick Caprario
said. Were trying to figure out
where everyone is at on the team,
what kind of shape people are in
and what times are different.
This meet will signal what the
season could be like.
Theres going to be some
people who are really going to
step up because its going to be
a competition and not a work-
out, Michael Whittlesey, assis-
tant coach, said. And Im very
excited to see who those athletes
are, and it is really going to give
us a good indication of where we
need to work on with our team.
The womens
team, however,
will be starting
without two of
its top runners,
senior Lauren
Bonds and
junior Amanda
Miller. The
absence of these
two runners will
give some of the
other athletes
the opportunity to try to gain
more leadership on the team.
Everyone should be a leader,
and I think that this is a great
time for people to become some-
one who can push the team,
sophomore Kara Windisch said.
The freshmen, sophomores and
juniors need to start pushing a
little to step up and show what
they can do and keep the team
going, because Bonds wont be
here next year and we are going
to need someone to take her spot
and move the team along.
Sitting Bonds and Miller out
during this first meet could
strengthen the team for the rest
of the season.
Hopefully they gain a lot of
experience and gain a lot of con-
fidence to be able to handle that
pressure, because how well we
compete as a team later on in the
year is dependent on the strength
of our three through eight run-
ners, Whittlesey said.
The women are very confident
in their training and their ability
so far this season.
Weve done packing running,
where we set a time
that we need to hit
and maintain, and
thats been seeming
to work, Windisch
said. I think that
we are going to be
ready for this race.
The fact that it is
a home meet also
gives the Jayhawk
runners a little
more confidence.
Its always great to run at
home; we only get one meet a
year. Its nice to have some peo-
ple come out and support us,
Caprario said. Were going to
have a little bit of an advantage.
The runners hope to make the
best of that advantage and start
their season off right.
I think the home meet we
have to live up to the expecta-
tions that this is our home meet,
Windisch said. Were going to
go out there and show them that
this is our turf and we are here to
win on our Jayhawk course.

sports 8A friday, september 4, 2009
where you really shouldnt run a bad
play or make mistakes because the
checks are coming from the guys
who designed the plays. We take
only what the defense gives us.
Kansas offense, especially at
the wide receiver position, is
based around two things: chem-
istry between the offensive parts
and developing an understanding of
opposing defenses tendencies.
Grasping those points, Fields
said, comes with experience.
On Kansas first offensive play in
the Insight Bowl against Minnesota
last season, Briscoe noticed a hole in
Minnesotas defense, released from
his original route and opted to run
deep down the left sideline.
Reesing noticed, too, and deliv-
ered a 60-yard touchdown pass.
That was a designed play, but
he adjusted to it on the run, Fields
said. He has the option to do that.
Beginning in the spring, Meier
said Kansas offense instantly started
clicking, despite Briscoes absence
from spring practices for disciplin-
ary reasons.
Now that the entire unit is intact,
Kansas possesses the most expe-
rienced offense in the Big 12 North.
While only two players return
along the offensive line, the
Jayhawks return their top three
receivers, along with Reesing and
senior Jake Sharp, who rushed for
860 yards last season.
Were always adding wrinkles
to our offense and defense, coach
Mark Mangino said. We are always
going to expand our package. And
with veteran players, well ask them
to do more than theyve done in
the past.
With so many proven playmak-
ers, Kansas offense creates a dilem-
ma for defenses: Who, exactly, does
an opposing team try to stop?
If a defense favors stopping
Briscoes deep-threat ability, they
risk leaving their underbelly
exposed for Meier to slowly gain
chunks of yards.
And if a defense focuses too much
on the pass in general, Kansas pos-
sesses a capable run game.
If defenses switch their coverage
and try to stop me, hey, weve got
Kerry on this side or John Wilson
on this side, Briscoe said. "Or we
can just give to Jake Sharp or Rell
Lewis. We just have a lot of weap-
ons.

football (continued from 10A)
The Jayhawks will be with-
out senior forward Shannon
McCabe, who was walking
gingerly after practice with ice
on her left knee. But Francis
thinks his team is more than
capable of adjusting to playing
different positions as they did
Sunday against Arizona State.
For the first time this season,
the Jayhawks will be playing
at home, which Francis feels
is a definite plus. He cites last
weeks trip to Knoxville, Tenn.
as an example of why play-
ing at home matters so much.
The team left Thursday morn-
ing at 7:15 a.m. and arrived in
Knoxville at 6 p.m.
The travel part of it wears
you out, Francis said.
Senior forward Kim Boyer
said she thought playing on
their home surface in front
of the home crowd is a huge
advantage.
Another factor that may be
especially important this week-
end is the distance Long Beach
State and Rhode Island, Kansas
opponent on Sunday, have to
travel to get to Lawrence. Both
teams will deal with changes in
time zones.
Even with all these factors
considered, Boyer said winning
matches really comes down to
one thing.
I think the key is just scor-
ing goals, Boyer said.

CHICAGO Rookie Carlos
Torres threw seven crisp innings,
Dewayne Wise made a great throw
to cut down a runner at the plate
and the White Sox beat the Cubs
5-0 Thursday in a makeup game
between two city rivals whose sea-
sons have gone awry.
Torres (1-0), recalled from the
minors two days ago, earned his
first major league win in his third
career start. He allowed five hits,
walked none and struck out six.
Wise, whose highlight-reel
catch preserved Mark Buehrles
perfect game back in July, made
a strong throw from right field to
preserve a 1-0 White Sox lead in
the seventh. Jake Fox tried to score
from second on Jeff Bakers single
but Wise delivered the ball to A.J.
Pierzynski, who was able to tag the
sliding Fox for the second out.
Baker took second on the play,
but Torres fanned Koyie Hill to
end the threat.
The White Sox added two in
the eighth, taking advantage of a
key Cubs error. Gordon Beckham
scored from first when left fielder
Alfonso Soriano missed Pierzynskis
fly. Paul Konerko followed with an
RBI single to make it 3-0 and chase
Ryan Dempster (8-8).
Soriano had a cortisone injec-
tion in his sore left knee Sunday
and had missed three games ear-
lier in the week. After his miscue,
what appeared to be a T-shirt
came flying out of the left-field
bleachers. Soriano also was booed
loudly when he struck out to end
the game.
The makeup of a June 16 rain-
out featured two defending divi-
sion champs whose playoff hopes
have faded greatly. It was the latest
makeup for an interleague game
since Kansas City played Arizona
on Sept. 4, 2003.
The Cubs entered six games
out of the NL wild card with four
teams in front of them. They
remained 10 games back of the
Central-leading Cardinals, who
lost 4-3 to the Brewers. After a
disastrous road trip, the White
Sox returned to town in third,
seven games back of the Tigers in
the AL Central.
I never thought we were going
to collapse in two weeks the way
that we did because if you look at
the lineup every day its a pretty
good lineup, White Sox manager
Ozzie Guillen said.
Chris Getz singled with two outs
in the second and went to second
when Fox subbing at first base
for Derrek Lee dropped a pick-
off attempt from Dempster for an
error. Alexei Ramirez then deliv-
ered an RBI single into left field.
Looking like a team that went 2-8
on a 10-game trip to Boston, New
York and Minnesota, the White
Sox ran themselves out of a poten-
tial big inning in the first. Leadoff
hitter Scott Podsednik drove a ball
into the gap in right-center that
would have been a triple, but the
ball got lost in the ivy and became
a ground-rule double.
Beckham then hit a comebacker
to Dempster and Podsednik got
caught between second and third.
Dempster threw to third base-
man Aramis Ramirez, who ran
Podsednik back to second and
tagged him. Beckham, who took
off for second, was tagged out
by second baseman Baker in a
rundown to complete the double
play.
Cubs HR and RBI leader Lee
was scratched, missing the game
to be with his wife, who gave
birth to their second child early
Thursday morning. The White
Sox lead the overall series that
began in 1997, 37-35.

ST. LOUIS Rookie Casey
McGehee wasnt about to be
fooled twice by John Smoltz.
After looking at a called third
strike his time up, the streak-
ing McGehee hit a go-ahead,
two-run homer off Smoltz and
the Milwaukee Brewers beat
the St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on
Thursday to avoid a three-game
sweep.
He abused me pretty bad on
breaking balls, McGehee said
of his first-inning at-bat. He
finally got one up enough to
where I could get a hold of it.
McGehee homered in the
sixth to break a 2-all tie, con-
necting right after the Cardinals
failed to turn an inning-ending
double play.
The shot capped off an amaz-
ing series for McGehee, who
drove in nine of his teams 13
runs during the three-game
set. McGehee, a Chicago Cubs
castoff, was 5 for 11 at Busch
Stadium with two homers in a
72-hour span.
The three guys in front of
me who are getting on base are
the ones getting it done, he said.
A guy like Prince (Fielder), you
dont even want to mess with, so
Im getting good pitches to hit.
McGehee is hitting .299 with
13 homers and 49 RBIs in 89
games.
Manny Parra settled down
after a slow start and pitched
into the seventh inning for
Milwaukee, which has won four
of six.
Trevor Hoffman closed
for his 30th save, striking out
Albert Pujols with a runner on
base to end the game. Hoffman,
the career saves leader, reached
the 30 mark for the 14th time.
The Cardinals took a 2-1
lead into the sixth, but Craig
Counsell led off with a double
and took third on an infield
single by Frank Catalanotto.
Smoltz struck out Ryan
Braun, then got Fielder to
ground into a potential inning-
ending double play. But second
baseman Julio Lugo juggled the
ball momentarily and could
only throw out Fielder as the
tying run scored.
McGehee followed with
a go-ahead drive just inside
the left-field foul pole for his
13th homer of the season. He
also drove in the Brewers first
run with a sacrifice fly in the
fourth.
St. Louis loaded the bases
with one out in the seventh.
Reliever Mitch Stetter struck
out Khalil Greene looking and
Claudio Vargas got Pujols to
ground out on a 3-2 pitch.
Matt Holliday, who had three
hits, brought the Cardinals to
4-3 with a leadoff homer in
the eighth. It was his 10th as a
Cardinal and 21st overall. He
singled earlier in the game for
his 1,000th career hit.
Pinch-hitter Colby Rasmus
walked later in the eighth,
but was picked off by Vargas.
Hoffman worked around Lugos
one-out bunt single with one
out in the ninth.

I
n an efort to entertain our-
selves, we recklessly try to
fnd the frst appealing event
to occupy, if not waste, our time.
In hindsight, the events you turn
down could be the happening of a
lifetime.
When we see certain sports on
the television guide, we think of the
sport rather than those involved.
Te channel is passed, as is a poten-
tially crucial moment in history.
For example, most people have
the same thought when it comes
to watching golf: lame. In contrast,
we all think of Tiger Woods as one
of the greatest golfers ever, if not
the greatest ever. Tis can be said
of many sports. Tennis has Roger
Federer and the Williams sisters,
swimming has Michael Phelps and
sprinting has Usain Bolt.
Tose athletes are arguably the
best of all time at what they do. Tey
all have broken records thought to
be impossible to break. Tey do it
with class (for the most part) and
are genuine humans. So why arent
we all watching them?
Everyone has an excuse. Golf is
boring. Tennis is drawn out way
too long. But for anyone who wants
to see greatness unfold (thats what
sports are for, right?), its time to
start tuning into these guys and
gals. Tese are once in a generation
or perhaps once in a lifetime ath-
letes. It would be a shame to not be
a witness just because of what sport
they play.
I had the same views of golf as
anyone else. Ive never played nor
did I enjoy watching. But I was
bold enough to watch the 2008 U.S.
Open. When Tiger won, it gave me
chills on par with Dante Halls joy-
stick kick return against the Bron-
cos or Mario Chalmers game-tying
three-pointer against Memphis.
Keep in mind this was golf I was
watching. And no, watching high-
lights doesnt do the experience
justice.
Currently, the U.S. Open of ten-
nis is in its early stages. Venus and
Serena Williams dominate on their
home court.
Anyone who has achieved some
sort of legendary status as these
athletes have is worth admiring.
You could learn a thing or two be-
yond sports. Roger Federer is trying
to extend his record of 15 Grand
Slam titles. But that isnt why I ad-
mire him. Just look at how Federer
dresses and carries himself on the
court. He is the epitome of class. I
have even based some of my ward-
robe on his fashion. He used to be
a hot head but is now the calmest
cucumber to carry a racquet.
Tese are not fctional characters
acting in accordance to a script.
Tese are human beings who
have transcended mediocrity and
should be looked upon as heroes of
our time. Trow out all the faults of
Phelps and Bolt. What they are do-
ing is simply amazing.
We cant miss these moments
then regret doing so in the future.
We have them here now. Now is the
time to watch.

Illini may threaten Missouri
cOllege FOOTbAll

By r.B. fallStrom
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS For a change, its
Illinois bringing all the star power
to the neutral-site opener against
Missouri. For the first time in a
long while, its the Tigers who are
untested and unappreciated.
Illini quarterback Juice Williams
passed for more than 450 yards and
five touchdowns in a losing cause
against Missouri last year, among
three stadium yardage records he
set. Hes unquestionably the mar-
quee name heading into Saturdays
so-called Arch Rivalry, one of eight
returning starters on offense that
makes the Illini close to a touch-
down favorite to end a four-game
losing streak in the series.
Missouri is starting over, in a
sense, coming off a 10-4 record
and heading into coach Gary
Pinkels ninth season. Virtually all
the headliners are gone from teams
that combined for 22 victories, two
bowl triumphs and a brief stay
at No. 1 during the heyday of a
high-flying spread offense featur-
ing quarterback Chase Daniel and
receiver Jeremy Maclin.
Maclin and defensive tackle
Ziggy Hood gave Missouri two
first-round NFL draft picks for the
first time since 1977, safety William
Moore was a second-rounder and
tight end Chase Coffman was taken
in the third round.
Besides losing their nucleus, the
Tigers had to replace both coordi-
nators, an offshoot of all that suc-

We have high expectations and
we want to play the best we can,

nificant.

CRANS-SUR-SIERRE, Switzerland
Australias Brett Rumford birdied
the last four holes for a 28 on the
back nine Thursday, finishing with
a 9-under 62 for the first-round
lead at the European Masters.
Rumford, the 2007 champi-
on, was a stroke ahead of Simon
Dyson, the Dutch Open winner
two weeks ago who had a 63. At
65 were Miguel Angel Jimenez,
Andres Romero, Christian Nilsson,
Thongchai Jaidee, Alexander Noren
and Danny Willett.
Rumford is back on the European
tour after a year in the United
States and has missed the last two
cuts. He made birdie putts of 20
feet twice and 15 feet twice on the
last four holes.
I got my putter running hot,
he said. I dont know where this
came from.
Rumford was 11 under for the
last 13 holes, including an eagle
at the seventh from 15 feet and a
40-foot birdie at the 11th. On his
opening hole, his drive struck a
woman above the left eye.
There was a lot of blood. It
wasnt nice. I havent spoken to her
yet. They had taken her away and
I didnt see her at all, Rumford
said.
Dyson shot eagle-3s on the
first and 15th holes in a round
that included three birdies and no
bogeys. He said the Dutch Open
victory was a big boost.
Rory McIlroy, who lost in a
playoff last year, had a 67. Lee
Westwood, chasing the European
Order of Merit title, opened with
a 71. Trevor Immelman, the 2008
Masters champion who is coming
back from a wrist injury, shot a 74.
I cant really expect much more
and I cant be too hard on myself at
this time, he said.

P
eople said that the day
when Kansas Football
would be good or even
ranked in the top 25, would be the
day when pigs fly.
Well, swine flu.
Okay so that joke may be a little
bit hackneyed this year, but hey,
did you really expect KU Football
to be this good when you submit-
ted your application for admis-
sion? I know I didnt.
The welcome surprises began
in the 2007-2008 season when the
Jayhawks made it to the Orange
Bowl. Then we actually won it.
A nation of football fans actu-
ally perked up to what we call
Kansas Football. I loathe putting
my name in the same sentence as
the words fair-weather fan, but I
admit, as many of you probably
will as well, that I may have loved
Kansas Football, but I was never
as excited about it as I was during
that season.
I never expected us to go
to a BCS bowl game, let alone
win one. said Patrick Salsbury,
Rossville, Kan., junior.
These sentiments could be
seen not only on our campus, but
across the country. Who were
these Jayhawks that went 11-1 and
were ranked eighth in the country
going into the Orange Bowl? Well,
they were what none of us were
expecting, pigs that knew how to
fly.
Then in 2008-2009 season, the
Jayhawks impressed us again.
Although the much more arduous
season did more damage to our
record, we still made it to a legiti-
mate bowl game and won, giving
the Jayhawks an 8-5 record for the
year. This successful, yet bumpy,
season confirmed a thought
that had been in the back of our
minds: We have one of the best
quarterbacks in the country. This
revelation is, maybe not biblical,
but historical, because he is maybe
the best quarterback we have seen
since John Hadl, who is now in
the Kansas Jayhawk Hall of Fame
and has his No. 21 jersey retired.
History Awaits is the slogan
for this season of Kansas Football,
and I say, if you can make more of
the unbelievable true, then bring
on more pigs with wings. The
Jayhawks have made believers out
of the doubters, and instead of the
fans expecting to be surprised,
now they expect greatness.
I expect KU to win the Big XII
North and hope they make it to
a BCS Bowl Game, said Salsbury
on this upcoming season, which
starts with Northern Colorado on
Saturday.
And one more eye-opening
thing that will happen this season,
a match up that I thought Id never
see: Kansas vs. Duke in week three
of this season. From now on Im
keeping my eyes to the skies to
see if anything other than pigs
is going to start flying (maybe
Jayhawks).

tHe key to a good oFFense
Ryan Waggoner/KANSAN
Senior quarterback Todd Reesing looks for a teammate to pass to during last month's media day at the Anderson Family Football Complex. This year's ofense, composed primarily of returning players, could prove to be the best in school
history and will give the an extra threat.
By JaysoN JeNKs
jjenks@kansan.com

During the first days of prac-
tice in early August, when time is
usually spent trying to shed rust,
senior quarterback Todd Reesing
was perfect.
Playing in seven-on-seven
games, senior wide receiver Kerry
Meier said Reesing completed 50
consecutive passes. Yes, 50.
They were only scrimmages
and not even full ones at that
but Reesings efficient start
illustrates a bigger picture for
Kansas offense: With so many
players returning at key positions,
could this be the best offense ever
assembled in Lawrence?
If you look at us on paper,
we have the potential to be very
good, Meier said. But at the same
time we can be nothing. We have
to want to go out and prove that
we can be the most dominant
offense that Kansas has ever seen.
Thats something that drives us
and makes us
want to be bet-
ter.
And there are
plenty of reasons
for optimism.
Reesing is
Kansas all-time
leader in passing
yards and he
still has an entire
season to play.
Meier is Kansas single-season
leader in receptions, and junior
receiver Dezmon Briscoe hauled
in the single-season record for
receiving yards last year.
Its a cast that has appeared
on highlight shows and preseason
awards lists. And
its a group that is
expecting to replicate
and even exceed
Kansas highly-
successful offenses
of the past.
We didnt want to
be taken for a joke
anymore, said for-
mer receiver Dexton
Fields, who played
on Kansas Orange Bowl winning
team. Well, those guys inherited
that from us, and they have talent
to go with it.
Still, Kansas offense is usu-
ally overshadowed by the likes of
Oklahoma, Texas and, recently,
Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.
But, more than any season in
recent memory, the Jayhawks
return a large number of experi-
enced and well-known playmak-
ers. For Fields, thats an intangible
ingredient for success with Kansas
schemes.
I think they can be better
than past years because they have
Briscoe, Kerry and John back,
Fields said. The offense is one

Junior named tournament MVP
SEE football ON pAGE 8A
By claRK GoBle

Junior defender Lauren
Jackson didnt believe her team-
mates when they told her she
had been named the MVP of last
weekends Lady Vol Invite.
At first I was like, 'what?'
Jackson said. I thought they
were making fun of me or some-
thing.
Jackson even checked online
to confirm it. Her efforts have
played a key part in the qual-
ity performance of the Kansas
defense in the first three games
of the season. They look to keep
the streak going against Long
Beach State today at 5 p.m. at the
Jayhawk Soccer Complex.
Jackson thinks another factor
in the stellar start is the bet-
ter communication between the
back line and freshman goalie
Kat Liebetrau, who entered the
season not being vocal enough.
You can definitely tell she has
more confidence, Jackson said.
Shes definitely stepped up and
talked a lot more.
Coach Mark Francis thinks
there is yet another factor.
Honestly, I think a lot of it
has to do with heart, Francis said
about the undefeated start to the
season. I think this team, just
compared to some teams weve
had in more recent years, they
just have a lot of heart.
Francis said he saw a lot of
passion in the teams two games
in the Lady Vol Invite.
I told the players that was a
good sign for us down the road
because if you have heart, youre
going to win a lot more often
than just having talent, Francis
said.
