F-4 fighter jets lie like tossed
toys, fragile and insignificant,
filling trivial space. These are
the fallen heroes that paint the
scene of the airplane junk yard in
Rantoul, Kan.
Paul Bickfords GPS shrieks a
high-pitched whine signaling the
next direction, which he obedi-
ently follows. An urgent message
informs Bickford that his destina-
tion is under one of the planes
decorating the barren field.
Bickford, Olathe junior, gin-
gerly checks out the target hes
been hunting: a relic F-4 fighter
jet of the Vietnam War. Running
his hand down the cool, metal-
lic belly of the beast, he reaches
into the engines air intake valve.
Crammed inside is the cache
the treasure Bickford had been
searching for.
This high-tech version of a trea-
sure hunt is called geocaching,
where hand-held GPS devices and
specific coordinates have replaced
the crayon-colored maps hanging
on the refrigerators of childhood.
The treasure is different,
too. Hidden containers called
geocaches, or caches, bear
unknown secrets such as logbooks,
objects for trade or more clues
to continue the chase on to the
next mysterious location. Caches
linger not just in the backyard, but
around the world in anticipation
of the next visitor.
The first time I tried geocach-
ing, my GPS said the cache was in
the middle of a large lake, Bickford
said. I eventually found it hidden
in a rock wall. I myself took an old
Army patch and left a keychain I
picked up in Colorado.
On May 2, 2000, the govern-
ment removed the selective avail-
ability on its satellites, making
them available to anyone wanting
to pinpoint an exact location.

Geocacher Paul Bickford, Olathe junior, advises beginners to
really open their eyes.
My advice would be not to look only on the ground. Ive
found so many caches and clues in trees or buried in logs and
stumps. And dont expect it to be extremely noticeable. Itll
probably blend in well so if you have to, use a fashlight to look
into small openings. Also be careful of ticks, snakes, and espe-
cially spiders.

GeocachING BeGINNers tooLkIt

Former KU student Rachel
Leek will be remembered
by those who knew her as a
unique individual overflowing
with enthusiasm.
Twenty-year-old Leek was
the victim of a fatal hit-and-
run acci-
dent when
a car struck
her bicycle
in the 1000
block of
Tennes s ee
Street about
2:30 a.m.
Friday.
Leek and
her boyfriend, Sam Goodell,
Lawrence non-traditional
student studying American
Studies, were dating for about
13 months, he said.
I dont know why she chose
me but I was always so proud
and so lucky, Goodell said.
We were so perfect together
and we balanced each other
out perfectly.
Goodell said Leek was on
her way to meet him and some
friends when she was struck.
When he got to the scene, he
said he recognized her bike.
She really liked her bike
and had just given it a paint job
blue and yellow stripes, he
said. She was so proud of it.
Goodell said he admired her
enthusiasm for the simplest
things in life.
She just really knew how to
be content in her life, he said.
She was a treasure.
One of 11 siblings, Leek
followed some of her sisters
paths and worked with them
at Wheatfields Bakery for two
years.
Martin Jiminez, Hayes
senior, worked with Leek and
two of her older sisters.
She was just a solid human
being, Jiminez said. She just
set the mood with her attitude
and she was just so calm, cool
and collected.
Jiminez described her as a
joy to be around and to have
on their team at the bakery.
She was kind of a glue for
us and she kind of kept us
balanced, Jiminez said. She
was a wonderful, wonderful
person.
Her family will hold a wake
for Leek from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
tonight at the Prince of Peace
Catholic Church in Olathe.
The funeral will be at 10 a.m.
Thursday at the same location.

Like so many moms, Emily
Thompsons pushes her to do stuff
from time to time. This time, she
encouraged her daughter to devote
at least two hours of her precious
potential study or relaxing time to
taking a self-defense class put on
by The Ali Kemp Foundation at
Robinson Center.
But Thompson, Topeka junior,
didnt decide to take the class just
to appease her mother.
I want to try to become
prepared for the worst. If Im put
in a situation, Im not sure what
I would do, Thompson said of
the possibility of being physically
attacked.
Thompson was one of 307
women who participated in the
TAKE self-defense class Tuesday,
and she was certainly not the only
one interested in increasing her
preparedness for the worst-case
scenario of a physical attack.
With all of the stories you hear
about crime in Lawrence, its never
a bad idea to prepare yourself for
the worst case, Megan Burgardt,
Wichita junior, said.
TAKE, founded after the
murder of 19-year-old Ali Kemp in
Leawood, holds classes across the
country to help promote violence
awareness in women and girls.
Roger Kemp, Alis father, spoke
at Robinson of his desire to prevent
the victimization of women
through community education
programs such as the TAKE self-
defense classes.
Every night, you can turn on
the news and see stories of women
being attacked, Kemp said. We
need to put a stop to this.
The event was sponsored by Pi
Howard Ting/KANSAN
KU Students had a chance to learn self-defense Tuesday at the Robinson Center Gymin an event sponsored by The Ali Kemp Educational Founda-
tion. The Ali Kemp Foundation was founded in memory of Alexandra Kemp of Kansas State University who was murdered in 2002 at the Johnson
County Pool where she worked.

while waiting for homes
LAQUILA, Italy More than
4,000 people who survived last
springs earthquake in Italy are
shivering in tents, but they say
they hope to be living in new,
earthquake-proof homes soon.
Snow was capping the Apen-
nine mountains near the quake-
devastated town of LAquila on
Tuesday as the homeless tried
to keep warm in tents and keep
up hopes. They are waiting to
be assigned soon to some of
the homes whose construction
is a priority of Premier Silvio
Berlusconis government.
With temperatures dipping as
low as minus-5C (23F) on recent
nights, authorities are ofering

still in tents. But the homeless say
they need to be near jobs and
schools and cant stay in distant
hotels.

Ortegas Sandinista party. It has
thrown out a ban on consecutive
re-election. And the head of
Nicaraguas electoral commission
says the ruling is fnal.
Judges from the opposition
Liberal Party were not present at
Mondays vote and say it must
be approved by the full Supreme

4. Jurors debate about
sentencing man to death
CHICAGO Jurors are decid-
ing whether a man convicted of
killing seven employees at a sub-
urban Chicago restaurant in 1993
should be sent to death row.
Before the case was turned
over to jurors on Tuesday, de-
fense attorney Mark Levitt asked
them to spare the life of James
Degorski. He says a life sentence
for Degorski would be punish-
ment enough.
Assistant Cook County States
Attorney Tom Biesty says Degor-
ski does not deserve the jurys
mercy because he didnt show it
to those he shot and stabbed at
the Browns Chicken and Pasta
restaurant in Palatine.
Degorskis co-defendant, Juan
Luna, was convicted of murder
in 2007 and sentenced to life in
prison after one juror held out
and refused to vote in favor of
the death penalty.

royalties investigation
SALT LAKE CITY Secretary

requested an investigation into
last-minute changes the Bush
administration made to speed
up oil-shale development in the
Rocky Mountains.
Salazar says hes asking his
departments inspector general,
Mary Kendall, to look into the
changes.
Salazar says that in the fnal
days of the Bush administration,
the Interior Department locked in
a bargain royalty rate on 30,000
acres of existing oil-shale leases
for oil companies.
In addition, Salazar said Tues-
day he was opening a second,
more environmentally sensitive
round of oil-shale leasing for
Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

statute after the Sept. 11 attacks.
U.S. citizen Abdullah al-Kidd
sued Ashcroft and other federal
ofcials after he was arrested and
jailed as a material witness in a
terrorism case against another
man. Al-Kidd was never called
to testify at the trial and said
the government was using the
statute to arrest people without
cause.
In a request fled Monday,
Ashcroft asked the full 9th Circuit

three-judge panel last month.

The next day, Dave Ulmer ven-
tured into the woods of Beaver

containing a logbook, pencil and
various prize items: videos, books,
software and a sling-shot. He
shared the coordinates of his stash
online with the simple rule: take
some stuff, leave some stuff.
Nearly a decade later,
Geocaching has become an obses-
sion for more than 2.5 million
treasure hunters. Worldwide,
there are 924,213 active caches
and 727 in Lawrence, according to
Geocaching.com.
Larry Robinson, an Olathe geo-
cacher, said he became a hooked
geocacher after receiving a GPS
device for Fathers Day in 2005. I
have been to many places I would
not have seen were it not for geo-
caching, he said. I have been in
caves, castles and on top of moun-
tains. There is no end to the rich
diversity of places I have seen.
Geocaching encourages people
from all age groups to wander
onto the serene scene of nature,
disturbing an otherwise unknown
location. Respect and support
for the environment are strongly
emphasized. Cache In Trash Out
is a worldwide clean-up effort
sponsored by geocaching designed
to preserve the environment.
The impact of this high-tech
treasure hunt is personalized for
each cacher. A new appreciation
for the outdoors, Bickford said, was
his greatest benefit. For Robinson,
it has been a life-changing experi-
ence. He has lost more than 100
pounds since he
started partici-
pating.
Geocaching
has changed my
life, Robinson
said. It helped
me make some
very healthy
choices in my
lifestyle, brought
me some life-
long friends and helped me to see
the world in ways I never would
have otherwise.
Dana Atwood-Blaine, Ada,
Okla., graduate student, researches
ways to use GPS in K-12 education.
She said geocaching has allowed
her to become more confident,
persistent and able to spend more
quality time with her husband and
8-year-old son.
Our whole family gets to
spend time together,
Atwood-Blaine said.
Its exciting and fun,
and you learn a lot.
You kind of feel like
youre part of some
secret network of peo-
ple. Its a sneaky, fun
feeling.
Bickford plans to
continue the adventure
of hiding and seek-
ing treasures into the future. The
alluring activity has him hooked.
Its like hiking but theres
always a surprise ending.

GeOCACHING:
A HOW-TO
To start, register for free
at Geocaching.com, search
your postal code, and
select a cache to fnd that
fts your goals, consider-
ing distance, difculty,
and time (especially close
to sunset). Enter the GPS
coordinates and begin the
hunt for your cache. Once
found, sign the logbook
and return the cache
to its original location.
If you take something,
leave something of equal
value for the next visitor
to fnd. All age groups are
encouraged to participate
and the search can be solo
or as a group. Share your
adventures and photos
with other cachers online.
However, Olathe geoch-
acher, Larry Robinson,
ofers a word of caution.
I would most defnitely
recommend this activity,
but I will warn anyone
taking it up that it is ad-
dictive and once you start
if you really get into it you
will never be the same
afterwards.
You kind of feel like
youre part of some
secret network of
people.

Beta Phi, of which Ali Kemp was
a member, Alpha Delta Pi, Sigma
Phi Epsilon and the Emily Taylor
Womens Resource Center.
Michael Gillaspie, Ashland
senior and former student body
vice president, helped organize
the event, which he said was
spurred by a real need for safety
awareness programs on campus,
according to students who spoke
with student senators.
He added that education was
just as important as security in
helping to prevent crimes.
Annie McKay, assistant
director of the Emily Taylor
Womens Resource Center, said
self-defense classes were a piece
of the puzzle in preventing
sexual assault.
She said she advocated
women taking classes as a way
to arm themselves and feel more
empowered.
She also said women should
arm themselves with knowledge
about sexual assault resources
available in the community and
should be aware of the fact that
85 percent of sexual assaults are
committed by people known by
the victim.
Women should know its not
just about defending themselves
physically, McKay said. They
have to think, Theres things I
have to do to help prevent getting
in that situation.
McKay said these things
included being aware of
surroundings, trusting ones gut
in potentially harmful situations,
not letting ones guard down
when students know people and
learning the resources available
for getting more information.
Just before the TAKE class
began, Burgardt echoed McKays
advice, saying she planned to
use the class as the first step to
a complete package of safety
awareness.
Just learning self-defense isnt
enough to prevent something bad
from happening, Burgardt said.
You have to know whats going
on around you.

University of Illinois chancellor resigns
BY VID MERCER
Associated Press
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. University
of Illinois Chancellor Richard
Herman resigned Tuesday fol-
lowing months of pressure over
special attention the school paid
to politically connected applicants
at its Urbana-Champaign campus
and news that some were admitted
over more qualified students.
In a resignation letter to the
board of trustees that oversees
the universitys three campuses,
Herman called his time at the
school an honor.
Ours is a great institution
with its brilliant and hardworking
faculty and staff, and its smart and
ambitious students, and I plan to
continue to contribute to ensuring
the bright future of the University
of Illinois,
H e r m a n
wrote. Thank
you for the
honor to serve
the University.
I have enjoyed
every minute,
in fact, every
nanosecond.
His resig-
nation from the $400,000-a-year
chancellors job is effective
Monday. The 68-year-old Herman
will remain with the central Illinois
school as a tenured math profes-
sor, the university said, earning
$244,000 a year.
The Faculty Senate last month
called for Herman, who is in
charge of the Urbana-Champaign
campus, and university President
B. Joseph White chief executive
of all three Illinois campuses to
step down amid the admissions
scandal. White plans to leave his
post in December.
Board chairman Christopher
Kennedy said Tuesday that
Hermans replacement will have to
have a strong focus on attracting
good faculty and on science and
research.
Richard had a sense of that,
which was evident in areas where
he put a lot of focus, like the
(Institute for Genomic Biology),
Kennedy said, referring to the
on-campus research center that
opened in 2003.
The more you talk about
Richard, the more impressive he
is, Kennedy said. Itll be a chal-
lenge to find somebody.
The boards executive commit-
tee will meet Friday to act on
Hermans resignation and new
employment contract.
Gov. Pat Quinn, who created
a commission to examine the
admissions troubles at the univer-
sity, said Tuesday it was best that
Herman resigned.

hollywood
MPAA chairman stepping
down at the end of year
WASHINGTON The face of
Hollywoods movie industry in
Washington is leaving the post
next year, prompting a casting
call for one of this citys most
coveted lobbying jobs.
Dan Glickman, chairman of
the Motion Picture Association
of America, said Monday he will
leave the post when his contract
expires next September. The
position mixes the glamour of
hobnobbing with Hollywood
celebrities with the nitty gritty of
issues important to studios like
protecting flms from unauthor-
ized distribution on the Internet.
Its more nuts and bolts and
hard work than its glamour,
Glickman, who turns 65 next
month, said in an interview.
To be honest with you, people
have come up to me since Ive
gotten the job and said, You have
the greatest job in the world. And
I think they think that Angelina
Jolie goes home with me every
night. Which she doesnt, by the
way. I mean, I would like it if she
did, he joked.
Glickman earned more than
$1.2 million in 2007, the latest
year for which tax documents are
available.
He took the post in 2004, suc-
ceeding the colorful Jack Valenti,
who had been Hollywoods chief
representative in Washington
since 1966.
Glickman, a low-key former
Agriculture Department secretary

I
woke up a few weeks ago
and turned on my laptop to
check the weather. This is not
exactly an unusual event. Having
grown up in Kansas, I know the
value of making sure that if I
dress for 50-degree weather, it
isnt expected to jump up to 75
degrees within a few hours (for
those of you who came from out
of state, this happens).
While making sure that I
needed to wear a coat and
that plagues of locusts werent
expected to descend upon
Lawrence before I was done with
class I noticed a headline that,
quite frankly, I wasnt sure what
to make of: President Obama
Wins Nobel Peace Prize.
My thoughts: Wait, what?
Um cool? Yeah, cool, I can
see this.
My assumption was imme-
diately that President Barack
Obama had been given the award
on the basis of his encouraging
of increased peaceful interna-
tional dialogue, particularly on
the part of the country hed just
assumed leadership of. It turns
out I was right on this. Not a
surprise, since at the time nomi-
nations for the prize were due
early February he had only
been president for a week or so.
The panel that selects Nobel
laureates cited Obamas extraor-
dinary efforts to strengthen
international diplomacy and
cooperation between peoples.
This meant two things. First, I
totally called it. Second, he was
given the award for fostering
a mindset through words, and
not for any sort of policy or pro-
gram, as many winners have.
The fact that Obama was
given the award based on pro-
voking a mood, and not for any
larger action, has provoked a
great deal of criticism from, well,
people who were already criticiz-
ing him. The general complaint
was that he was getting a major
award for not doing anything.
To clarify, Alfred Nobel wrote
in his will that winners of the
peace prize shall have done the
most or the best work for fra-
ternity between nations, for the
abolition or reduction of stand-
ing armies and for the holding
and promotion of peace con-
gresses.
The first and third criteria
were obviously what the selection
committee applied to Obama,
especially before he was inau-
gurated and didnt hold much
power to reduce any standing
armies. Although it hasnt actu-
ally happened yet, Obama has
been hung up on resolving
Americas obligations in post-
liberation Afghanistan and Iraq,
so give it a little while.
All this being said, I was
still fairly surprised by the win.
According to one of his accep-
tance speeches, so was the presi-
dent. But despite the seeming
randomness and the feeling that
there are bigger things Obama
could accomplish that would be
more substantive than encour-
aging a mindset through good
speech-making and tact with
foreign leaders, his win is not as
bad as some conservatives have
made it out to be.
A sitting American president
has been given a highly regarded
prize for support of internation-
al peace. Maybe and hope-
fully Obama will accomplish
bigger things that will make
the Nobel selection committee
wish theyd waited a few years
maybe not. In the meantime,
lets enjoy the recognition and
get on with things.

ts high noon. Two strang-
ers spot each other from
opposite ends of a dusty trail.
Tough they have never met, each
one now regards the other as his
mortal enemy. Tey inch slowly
toward each other, their twitching
hands held close to their holsters,
ready for confict. Tey avoid eye
contact for as long as possible,
but before long their eyes meet.
Tey are now perilously close.
Beads of sweat roll down their
foreheads. Teir throats dry up.
A family of tumbleweeds blows
past. A decision must be made by
someone, anyone, if disaster is to
be avoided.
It may sound like a scene from
the Wild Wild West once ser-
enaded by Mr. William Smith. But
it happens today, every day, much
closer to home.
Yes, substitute dust with ciga-
rette smoke, holsters with iPod
cases and families of tumbleweeds
with visiting tour groups, and
youve got an example of the
terrible inhumanity that happens
hundreds of times each day on
this very campus: People walking
on the wrong side of the sidewalk.
Te concept seems simple
enough Just like on the road,
trafc should fow forward on the
right side of the path. Tere may
not be a dividing line there to
remind us, but the unspoken rule
of the sidewalk is written on our
hearts, along with he who smelt
it dealt it and the laws of calling
shotgun.
When that rule is broken,
what results is a game of chicken
neither person wants to play. Is
he going to move? Should I just
move now? What if we both move
at the same time? Te tension
builds to unbearable heights and
you become frozen, your mind
paralyzed in panic as your legs
continue onward, oblivious to
the ensuing collision because legs
dont have eyes.
When you fnally do move
at the last second, you and the
stranger participate in a less-sexy
version of the Lambada, twirling
and dipping around each other
in a desperate attempt to avoid
impact.
Tough decidedly unsexy,
this maneuver should be no less
forbidden than the dance that
impregnated the world in the late
1980s. Tere are only three pos-
sible outcomes of this awkward
exercise in mental jousting, and
none of them are good: If you
dont crash into each other, you
either veer into the other lane of
oncoming foot trafc or of into
the grass, which over time can
cause erosion. Erosion, people!
Something must be done. Per-
haps we should erect signs along
the sidewalk reminding us to keep
to the right under penalty of
DEATH. Or perhaps we should
put one of those invisible walls
down the middle of the sidewalk
and issue dog collars that will
give students a little shock if they
wander onto the wrong side. Or,
in a move that everyone would
love, maybe we should replace all
the sidewalks with moving walk-
ways like they have at the airport.
Tose things are fun!
But until we get the funding
for any of those surefre solutions,
we just need to stop subscribing
to the philosophy of the dueling
bandits of the old west and realize
that this sidewalk is, in fact, big
enough for the both of us.

Challenging society
Its sad how every individual
who enters and exits my life
grows into the epitome of what a
typical human being is.
Its the same thing time and
time again. Humans giving in
to their humanistic biases
greed, hate and naivety. People
influenced by the nonsensical
propaganda of the media, the
media that sets unrealistic stan-
dards of how thin one should be
or the unreasonable belief that
one has to be in possession of a
college degree to succeed in life.
I already know too many people
who come to college because of
this. It continually demeans the
value of knowledge.
Why has society bought into
this delusion? Because peoples
eyes are closed; they have sur-
rendered every shred of logic to
the said biases above. They find
themselves incapable of break-
ing free from the peer pressures
of this media-tainted society.
And it is for that reason that I
urge you to take a moment and
ask yourself that one proverbial
question: What truly matters
in life? Forget what society has
taught you, and for once in your
life take a chance and believe in
your own cognition. Disregard
the delusion thrust upon you
and consider the reality of the
moment, of the future.
Consider one shred of logic
that I have found universally
true: There are no absolutes.
Getting a college degree does
not mean that you will indefi-
nitely succeed in life; being thin
doesnt guarantee you a good
self-image.
I dare challenge society. I dare
ask the questions that should not
be asked. I dare color outside the
lines and not in the typical anti-
conformist culture America has
fostered. The question is: Do
you?

ust a few weeks ago, the great-
est scientists from around
the world were honored with
Nobel Prizes. Top among these
were many Americans whose bril-
liant minds have been devoted
to arduous research for decades.
Their work has been transformed
into a slew of new advancements in
medicine and technology, forever
changing the landscape of human
accomplishment and providing
the next generation of scientists
with an ever-rising foundation of
knowledge.
However, this event in com-
memorating the collective achieve-
ment of our entire civilization was
met with indifference and igno-
rance by the American public.
The Americans ennui toward
the scientific Nobel Prizes is iron-
ic. The three scientists sharing
the Nobel Prize in medicine are
Americans. Two of the three win-
ners of the Nobel Prize in physics
are Americans, and so is one of
the three honored with the Nobel
Prize in chemistry. If the Nobel
Prizes were the Olympics, these
scientists would be on the cover
of Newsweek with their awards
around their necks. But the only
press coverage of these awards
was of President Barack Obamas
reception of the Nobel Peace Prize.
America just seems to not care
about science.
Think of some famous scien-
tists you know. You may be able
to name a few, such as Einsteinn,
Newton or Galileo. But if I were
to ask you to name a famous liv-
ing scientist, what would you say?
The only scientists we know are
from our public education; they
are simple relics of long-past eras
when scientific advancement
was the crowning apex of human
achievement.
Today in popular culture, scien-
tists are portrayed as either socially
irrelevant or morally antagonistic.
A scientist is either the bumbling,
inept man who is a genius in a lab
but a dolt in a bar, or the arrogant,
heartless villain who disregards
ethics in favor of science. Our gen-
eration has no scientific heroes and
only poor scientific stereotypes.
This disregard for the signifi-
cance of science has had devastat-
ing effects nationally. There is a
growing shortage of certified sci-
ence and math teachers in pub-
lic schools. Scientific illiteracy is
rampant, as shown by a 2008 sur-
vey by the California Academy
of Sciences. This study showed
that 41 percent of people surveyed
thought humans and dinosaurs
coexisted in prehistoric time, and
53 percent did not know how long
it takes for the earth to revolve
around the sun (for the half of
you reading that dont know, its
one year).
But it is all too easy to blame the
media and the public. The issue of
the scientific neutering of America
is much more complicated. The
nature of scientific progress itself
is partially responsible. Our recent
discoveries have leapfrogged the
general scientific knowledge easily
accessible to the public. We have
achieved so much in understand-
ing the universe, atoms and our
own biology that the most impor-
tant research has become increas-
ingly specialized and esoteric.
How can we expect the average
American to understand the enor-
mous impact of a green fluorescent
protein?
The value of science needs to
penetrate beyond research and
medicine. Science has a tremen-
dous value to influence the every-
day lives of everyone. The food
you eat, the car you drive, the com-
puter you use and the medicine
you take are all products of a man
or woman working to improve
your quality of life. We need to cel-
ebrate our modern-day scientific
heroes who earned their Nobel
Prizes and work to inspire a new
generation of scientists.

Thomas Pelegrin had already
attended several seminars on
cyber security. In his field of
study, information systems, course
instructors make covering the topic
a constant priority, he said.
But Pelegrin, Kansas City senior,
said he chose to sit in on another
instruction session on computer
safety yesterday not for class,
but for a more personal reason. As
Internet threats continue to rise, he
wants a secure environment for his
two sons, ages 10 and 12.
Theres software. Theres mal-
ware. Theres inappropriate sites,
Pelegrin said. Theres just a num-
ber of Web sites that my kids could
get into either intentionally or
unintentionally.
But preadolescents arent the only
victims of security threats online,
Julie Fugett, KU Information
Technology security analyst, said.
As part of National Cyber Security
Awareness Month this October, the
University is expanding its efforts
to spread awareness about threats
also growing among students.
Malware continues to evolve, to
get more sneaky, Fugett said. Now,
malware will steal your keystrokes
and send them off to someone to
get your password. Over the past
five years, its definitely evolved and
gotten worse.
Anh Nguyen, Saigon, Vietnam,
graduate student in electrical engi-
neering and computer science, said
she had tried to teach students
the importance of choosing secure
passwords this fall as a computer
science graduate teaching assis-
tant. She said she worried, how-
ever, that students outside her field
often exposed themselves to online
threats by opting for more memo-
rable passwords at the expense of
secure choices.
I think if the students dont
study information technology, they
dont know how much a hacker
can attack a system, Nguyen said.
They dont know how much they
can do. The hackers are really good.
They have strong knowledge.
Fugett said though online hack-
ers and predators continued to vic-
timize less experienced students in
new ways, the KU IT Security and
Privacy offices have also expanded
to newer media this October to
increase awareness.
The University has a new
BeSeKUre Facebook page with a
banner that updates students on
different cyber security tips every
week this month. She said the page
also featured, among other infor-
mation, a link to a BeSeKUre blog
that various technology liaisons
outside the University updated
regularly with advice.
We really post a ton of user-
friendly and student-friendly infor-
mation, Fugett said.
Fugett said phishing scams, or
fraudulent messages that solicit
personal information, posed the
greatest current threat to students.
She said students now are often
faced the attacks through popular
social networks such as Facebook
and Twitter.
Even on their phones and
text messaging, Fugett said. Its
everywhere.
She said despite the Universitys
increased outreach this month
to prepare students to recognize
threats and protect themselves,
University students still suffered
from online dangers. She said
when this happened, students
could call a free support line for
over-the-phone assistance. But if
their identity, personal information
or money was stolen, it was best to
contact the police.
Sgt. Michael Monroe with the
Lawrence Police Department said
local police officers received such
reports from residents of the city or
University every week.
He said as the department
continued to receive more crime
reports, it had also seen more
success tracking down identity
theft criminals from the evidence
they left behind when using their
stolen identities.
On Internet frauds, we have
less success, Monroe said. Theyre
almost never in our jurisdictions.
Oftentimes theyre overseas.
Pelegrin said his greatest fear
online was that he would fall victim
to such a threat and place the
security and livelihood of his entire
family in jeopardy.
The worst thing that could
happen would either be identity
theft or somebody accessing some
of my financial information on the
computer, Pelegrin said.

President Obama may be trying
to manage two wars now, but
before he could get a crack at
those he had to win one battle
the battle for the American
presidency.
The Robert J. Dole Institute of
Politics is hosting a lecture series
called The Battle for America.
The series will be divided into two
events. The first is tonight at the
Dole Institute on West Campus
at 7:30 p.m. The second is next
Wednesday night, Oct. 28.
Tonights event brings Dan Balz,
national political
reporter for the
Washington Post
and co-author
of the book
The Battle for
America 2008,
from which the
lecture series
takes its name. He will be exam-
ining the inner workings of the
major campaigns in last years
presidential election.
Amanda Applegate, Wichita
senior, is the coordinator of
the student advisory board for
the Dole Institute. Though a
pharmacy major, she said she
found the inner workings of these
campaigns fascinating.
There are just so many different
aspects you wouldnt think about
on a day-to-day basis, Applegate
said. To get that perspective from
someone thats really been on the
inside of these campaigns will be
really interesting.
Tonights lecture will focus on
the content of Balzs book, the
primary race leading up to the
general election. Balz will answer
questions about his
experience follow-
ing candidates and
their staffs through
the primaries and
conventions through
to the election last
November.
At the next lec-
ture the Institute will
bring Susan Page, a
senior political cor-
respondent for USA Today, and
Jonathan Martin, columnist for
online newspaper Politico. The two
will discuss the Obama adminis-
trations performance thus far and
where they see politics heading in
the next few years, including the
2010 midterm election.
Jonathan Earle, program
director for the Dole Institute,
said he appreciated new
media contributions to these
discussions.
We want both, Earle said.
I always want to get old media
and new media represented at the
Dole Institute.
Balzs book was the result of
his collaboration with Haynes
Johnson, a former Washington
Post correspondent, while they
both were reporting on the cam-
paign trail. They started covering
the preparations for the primaries
in early 2007. He said he realized
even then the importance of what
he was covering.
We both
believed that, no
matter the out-
come, this election
had the potential
to be one of the
most important in
the countrys his-
tory, Balz said.
This isnt the
first time Balz
has offered his
insight here. He was in Lawrence
in December 2006 to discuss the
ramifications of that years mid-
term election, in which Democrats
took both houses of Congress.
Balz said he was looking forward
to his return.

Most of the time, teams see
the end of the season as a time to
share together. Unfortunately for
Kansas tennis, half the team will
finish its last fall tournament in
Norman, Okla., this weekend and
the other half will end at a home
event in Lawrence.
Four underclassmen fresh-
men Sara Lazarevic and Vika
Khanevskaya and sophomores
Kate Morozova and Erin Wilbert
will travel today to Norman
to compete in the Intercollegiate
Tennis Association central region
tournament beginning tomorrow.
At the same time, senior Kuni
Dorn, juniors Maria Martinez and
Kate Goff and sophomore Alie
Dzuba will remain in Lawrence to
host the Universitys second and
final tournament of the fall.
Not everyone on the team is
ready to spend their last few days
apart.
It kind of sucks not being
together, but thats just the way it
is, said Wilbert, who went unde-
feated in both singles and doubles
at the last KU tournament Sept.
25 to 27. Its not going to be the
same without them, but well be
reunited, she joked.
Dorn shares Wilberts feeling
regarding the division of players.
I dont feel good about it, but
if we need to do it, its fine, Dorn
said. Im kind of sad.
This is Dorns last individual
tournament as a Jayhawk, and she
said that its really important for
her to play well, especially since
the tournament is at home.
Both players concerns main-
ly come from the shortage of a
cheering section from other team
members. Wilbert said that along
with the rest of the squad, she
will especially miss having Dorn
with her while she competes in
Norman.
Kuni is always the loud-
est cheerer. I can always feel her
presence, Wilbert said. Shes our
senior leader. Itll be different try-
ing to manage without her.
Many teams that will play in
the Kansas tournament this week-
end will be in the same situation.
Players that qualified for regionals
will depart for Norman, while the
rest of their teams will make the
trip to Lawrence.
Its not anything different
because we do this every year,
coach Amy Hall-Holt said. This
is pretty common. She said that
most tennis players get used to
being alone at tournaments while
growing up, and are acclimated
to the idea by the time they get
to college.
Still, she knows the value of
togetherness and being involved

Student
reporters
kept at a
distance
T
hirty minutes afer Colo-
rados upset victory over
Kansas, I stretched my
arm out with my recorder to catch
some of coach Mark Manginos
postgame thoughts.
Holding an arm straight out
for fve minutes is about the most
athletic thing a journalist does. In
the midst of focusing on Manginos
answers, I felt a slight bump from
the television reporter to my right.
I retracted my arm as she gave me
a menacing look and inched into
the space where my arm had been.
In my short time covering KU
football, Ive realized that a being
beat reporter for a college news-
paper doesnt necessarily make me
high man on the totem pole.
But at least we can say were
on the totem pole. In Missoula,
Mont., the student journalists need
binoculars to see it.
University of Montana foot-
ball coach Bobby Hauck refuses
to grant interviews to reporters
from the schools newspaper, the
Kaimin, afer a report about an al-
leged assault by two Montana play-
ers was published in the campus
paper last month.
He has even gone as far as
publicly belittling them. Afer a
Kaimin reporter asked Hauck if he
planned to continue rotating quar-
terbacks, Hauck fred back: You
want something from me now?
Youve got to be kidding me.
Immediately aferwards, a
reporter from the city paper got a
response to the same question.
Next week, similar story. A stu-
dent asked how Montanas defense
would stop a speedy running back.
Haucks reply? Ill give you this,
youre persistent. Whos next?
Hauck has also apparently taken
it a step further.
According to the Kaimin, when
one of their reporters asked a
Montana player a question, he said
he wasnt allowed to talk to the
newspaper. Te student athlete has
the choice whether to speak to the
media or not, but no players had
problems talking to the student
newspaper until Hauck did.
Te problem is that the Kaimin
is claiming that their report on the
alleged assault was good report-
ing and no false information was
published. No one else has pointed
out any false information.
If Hauck feels that the report
was false or contained factual
errors, I would understand his
position. In that case, he would be
defending his players and making
a statement that he would not let
his players be presented in a false
light if they had done nothing
wrong.
But I think Haucks current po-
sition is bogus. He needs to come
forward and outline his problems
with the alleged assault report.
Tat way, the Kaimin can evaluate
its position and determine how to
handle the situation.
But without a rationale, Hauck
is out of line. He is punishing
students for good journalism.
Hopefully Mangino never
crosses that line.

Kansas aims to dominate Big 12
BY JAYSON JENKS
jjenks@kansan.com
You cant compete with those
people just on the day of the
game. Youve got to compete year
around. Maybe the people here
dont want that, but lets make
it known what kind of program
we do want. Lets not talk about
beating Nebraska and Oklahoma
unless were willing to make that
kind of commitment.
Former Kansas coach Don
Fambrough
Kansas City Star, 1982

Lew Perkins sits with one leg
gently crossed over the other, a
relaxing look for a man whose job
rarely slows, let alone stops. Then,
as if the words rolling from his
mouth require a more immediate
posture, Perkins leans forward
and rests his hands on the glossy
table in front of him.
Heavy is the head that wears the
crown, and Perkins current goals
forecast Kansas upsetting the Big
12s football hierarchy, sending
those metaphorical crowns tum-
bling to the ground.
Its a scenario that, if carried
out, would vault the Jayhawks
higher into the national spot-
light.
We set goals and these
are my goals, these arent coachs
goals, Perkins said, voicing a
point that must be emphasized.
Weve now played Texas and
Oklahoma and some of those
southern schools real close and
had a chance. In my opinion, our
next big step is to start beating
those teams.
And thats not easy. Its very,
very difficult. Once we start
doing that, though, that puts us at
a whole other level.
The dividing point the line
that separates Kansas current
position from those annual top-
dogs in the Big 12 is under-
standably thin. Kansas went 12-1
in a breakthrough 2007 season
that ended with the dethroning
of perennially talented Virginia
Tech in the Orange Bowl.
But take a step back to the 2006
season a year that more accu-
rately reflects the brutally com-
petitive nature of college football.
Kansas finished 6-6 and missed
a bowl game, a
result that had
some of the fan
base grumbling
about the direc-
tion of the pro-
gram.
In that sea-
son, though, the
Jayhawks were
just a few plays
from turning in
another noteworthy campaign.
Kansas lost an overtime heart-
breaker to Toledo, then suffered a
seven-point defeat to Nebraska, a
three-point defeat to Texas A&M
and a one-point loss to Baylor.
The one thing we cant do
is get complacent, Perkins said.
We cant say OK, were here.
Everyones happy and were filling
the stadium and winning games.
Thats why I said the thing about
Texas and Oklahoma. And its
not just Texas and
Oklahoma. Its the
best programs in the
country.
Yet those are tall
tasks, something
Perkins said he is
fully aware of.
The last time
Kansas defeated
Oklahoma? Try
1997, Terry Allens
first year as head coach. And
Texas? The Jayhawks are 0-7
against the Longhorns since the
Big 12s inception in 1996.

NFL
Chargers getting closer
to last place in AFC West
SAN DIEGO The only two
things keeping the San Diego
Chargers out of last place in the
AFC West are the Oakland Raid-
ers and Kansas City Chiefs.
After getting pummeled by
the undefeated Denver Broncos,
the Chargers are in trouble.
San Diegos 34-23 loss to
Denver (6-0) on Monday night
left the Chargers 3 1/2 games
back in their attempt to win a
fourth straight AFC West title.
Thats a diferent Denver team
in the sense of they arent going
to fall apart, San Diego quarter-
back Philip Rivers said. Thats a
team thats here to stay.
Thats not good news for the
Chargers (2-3). Last year, the
Chargers coupled a four-game
winning streak with Denvers
historic, three-game losing streak
to sneak of with the division title
at 8-8.
The loss left the Chargers just
one-half game ahead of Oakland
(2-4) and 1 1/2 games ahead
of Kansas City (1-5), which will
host San Diego on Sunday. The
Chargers have always struggled
playing in Kansas City, and last
year needed a fourth-quarter
rally to overcome an 11-point
defcit and win 22-21.
It was San Diegos second
one-point win over the Chiefs
last year. The Chargers thought
their bye week would fx the
problems that dragged them
down in a 38-28 loss at Pitts-
burgh, in which they trailed 28-0
and allowed 497 yards.
The loss to the Broncos
showed that the Chargers still
have plenty to work on.

Female Gm To Be?
Baseball is inching toward its
most significant breakthrough
since Jackie Robinson broke the
color barrier.
Kim Ng, assistant general man-
ager of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
interviewed with San Diego
Padres CEO and vice chair-
man Jeff Moorad Saturday for
a chance to be the first female
general manager in major league
history.
Ng started out as a premiere
adviser to New York Yankees gen-
eral manager Brian Cashman.
In 2005, she became the first
woman to interview for a general
manager position when vying for
the spot with the Dodgers.
She also interviewed for the
general manager vacancy with
the Seattle Mariners last fall. She
didnt get either job.
But with a struggling San
Diego team in need of a fresh
start, several inside sources say
that Ng has a fair shot this time
around.
If Ng can somehow capture
this historic opportunity and turn
an appalling Padres team around,
women worldwide will take a
major step in not just the sports
sphere, but in the entire business
world. Stay posted on this one.

Polls overraTed
Theres been controversy for
years over college footballs poll
system. Teams like Boise State
and TCU have been victimized
by strength of schedule (or lack
thereof) and must wallow behind
one-loss powerhouses like USC
or Miami. When Alabama leaped
ahead of Florida Sunday for the
AP polls No. 1, Tebow enthu-
siasts far and wide went into a
frenzy. Kansas suffered a nail-
biting loss to Colorado but still
managed to grip the APs No. 24.
Thats a lot of numbers and they
make little sense it.
College football fans must not
abide by these polls as if they are
the bible. They are just numbers
based on opinions of informed
yet varying writers. If Florida is
so upset about Alabama steal-
ing its throne, the Gators should
simply win out as expected and
demolish the Crimson Tide in
the SEC title game to prove their
worth. Easier said than done,
but the spell of the polls can be
broken with old fashioned Ws.
Now lets stop that weeping,
Gainesville.
The FiGhT in The
shadows
It was a game that was masked
by Kansas Citys first victory in
the Todd Haley era, Matt Cassels
improved rapport with Dwayne
Bowe and Washington coach Jim
Zorns unspoken proclamation as
the worst skipper in the league.
Details aside, one cannot help
but look at the bigger issue in this
matchup.
Its the Chiefs vs. the Redskins.
Not quite the Sacajaweas vs. the
Pocahontases, but is it really that
different?
Native American mascots
represent many major American
sports teams. Baseball has the
Indians and the Braves.
Football has the Chiefs and
the Redskins. Hockey has the
Chicago Blackhawks.
Several schools across the
country, such as the Florida
State Seminoles and the Illinois
Fighting Illini, also follow the
trend.
But is this widespread practice
an ode to history or just an offen-
sive gesture toward a race that
was robbed of its land?
Its time that these teams make
a bold change.
We like to think that our
nation is far removed from rac-
ism and prejudice, yet these
mascots are still displayed before
our eyes through several media
outlets.
Allow mascots to serve their
true purpose means of motiva-
tion and positive representation.
The road to equality desperately
needs a clean slate on the mascot
front.
UConn TraGedy
A single stab to the abdomen
and he was gone.
Connecticut cornerback Jasper
Howard was 20 years old and
a key starter for the Huskies
team. Then Sunday, he and Brian
Parker, a 19-year-old academi-
cally ineligible receiver, were
stabbed outside the UConn stu-
dent union. Parker survived but
Howard didnt. The attacker has
yet to be found.
The death of the beloved
Howard brings back frightening
memories of the Virginia Tech
shooting in 2007. A college cam-
pus promises safety and comfort
to its students. But its still part of
the real world and we can never
forget that. This is not an order
to watch your back, just a wake
up call to the overly complacent.

Eagles trade rookie for
Rams Will Witherspoon
PHILADELPHIA The Phila-
delphia Eagles have acquired
linebacker Will Witherspoon
from the St. Louis Rams for
rookie wide receiver Brandon
Gibson and a ffth-round pick
in 2010.
The Eagles made the trade
Tuesday to get Witherspoon,
an eight-year veteran who
spent his frst four seasons
with Carolina. He was the
Rams starter at the weakside
spot and had 36 tackles and
one forced fumble this season.
Witherspoon has recorded
more than 100 tackles three
times in his career and has
missed only two games to
injury.
Gibson, a sixth-round pick,
was inactive for all six games
with Philadelphia.

AssOciATed PRess
NORMAN, Okla. No mat-
ter whats going wrong with his
front line, offensive coordinator
Kevin Wilson doesnt plan on
No. 25 Oklahoma becoming a
finesse team.
The Sooners struggles on the
offensive line were amplified
last week when, on the same
day Heisman Trophy-winning
quarterback Sam Bradford
went out after re-injuring his
right shoulder, the team wound
up with minus-16 yards rush-
ing against No. 3 Texas.
Wilson said Tuesday that
Oklahoma (3-3, 1-1 Big 12)
shifted to short passes because
it would have been too difficult
to block the nations best rush
defense and one loading the
line of scrimmage.
The shift led to tailback
DeMarco Murray setting new
career-highs with eight catches
for 116 yards.
Whether we abandon the run
or not or we get in big sets or
spread sets, the real deal is we
need to keep playing more physi-
cal, Wilson said.
The last time Oklahoma was
held to negative yards on the
ground came in 2002 against
Alabama (minus-23 yards). Next
up is Kansas (5-1, 1-1).
At the core of Oklahomas prob-
lems is an inexperienced offensive
line that lost four starters from last
seasons run to the BCS champi-
onship game. Three of those play-
ers are now in the NFL. Making
matters worse, starting left guard
Brian Simmons the second-
most experienced lineman was
out against the Longhorns and
is expected to miss several more
weeks with a right knee injury.
Instead of starting one of the
backup guards, Oklahoma moved
tight end Brody Eldridge to the
position for the first time, creating
the fifth different starting line in
six games.
To me, the deal is can we get
fortunate enough to for a couple,
three weeks in a row, get some
time on task with the same guys
and build on that? Wilson said.
Thats where weve been a
guys in, a guys out. We need you
over here. No, we need you back
over here. Were robbing Paul and
paying Peter all the time.
Coach Bob Stoops, though,
suggested that a lack of continuity
isnt to blame.
If you settle it in and its not
real effective, how do you settle
in? You have to keep compet-
ing, Stoops said. It isnt like just
because you keep the same five
guys in there, everythings har-
monious.
Running back has been the
position least affected by a series
of injuries on offense.

football (continued from 1B)
we want this program to be,
Mangino said, we have to start
winning against teams that are
considered the elite teams in the
league and beat them from time
to time.
Its a struggle that Fambrough,
the fiery former coach, knows
well. In his eight years as Kansas
head coach, he took the Jayhawks
to two bowl games.
But Fambroughs teams never
defeated Nebraska or Oklahoma,
the cream of the Big 8 in the 70s
and 80s.
We were so far behind but at
the same time we were expected
to go compete with those people,
Fambrough said. Now I think
theyve learned their lesson and
theyve improved the facilities.
We have as good an operation
as anyone in the conference. We
can stack up with anyone.
In the past few seasons alone,
Kansas has added a football-spe-
cific facility, practice fields and a
new playing surface, and future
plans call for a larger scoreboard
to be installed next year.
For a program that has slowly
risen from the conferences gutter
and into the national picture, the
next step of the process involves
toppling the best.
Im trying to make it as
simple as I can, Perkins said.
You have the whole cake made,
you have the frosting and it tastes
delicious. But youre missing that
one thing. And then, plop, you
put the cherry on. Thats it.
The Jayhawks are listed by
many national pundits to cap-
ture the Big 12 North title, a feat
that hasnt happened in Kansas
history.
And as savory as knocking
off national powers Oklahoma
and Texas may sound, Perkins
understands that first and
most importantly Kansas
must handle the schools in its
own division.
Coach is building the team
to have an opportunity to win
the Big 12 North and put our-
selves in a position to play for
the championship, Perkins said.
For me, thats my goal. I think
we have everything in place to
do that.

injured Cincinnati Qb Pike
may play against louisville
AssociAted Press
CINCINNATI Quarterback
Tony Pike had surgery Tuesday
to repair a damaged plate in
his non-throwing arm, leav-
ing his status uncertain for fifth-
ranked Cincinnatis game against
Louisville.
Pike broke his left forearm last
season, had a plate and six screws
inserted, and returned after miss-
ing two games. He led the Bearcats
to their first Big East title by play-
ing with a cast on the arm.
During a 34-17 win at South
Florida on Thursday night, the
plate shifted when Pike was hit,
forcing him to miss most of the
second half. Sophomore Zach
Collaros helped the Bearcats (6-0)
pull away, running for a pair of
touchdowns.
Pike met with a specialist on
Monday, participated in a light
practice with a cast on the forearm,
then chose to have the surgery after
consultations with another special-
ist. Coach Brian Kelly was notified
on Monday night.
The plan is for Pike to spend two
days trying to keep the swelling to
a minimum, then return to prac-
tice on Thursday and see what he
can do. After that, Kelly will decide
which quarterback starts against
Louisville (2-4) on Saturday.
Its going to depend on the next
48 hours, Kelly said. He cannot
go out there if he cant protect him-
self. We cant put him in a position
where he cant feel comfortable in
protecting himself. The last time,
it took two weeks for us to feel he
was ready to go. Were hoping that
process is accelerated. Thats why
were not going to rule him out for
Saturday night now.
Most likely, Collaros or soph-
omore Chazz Anderson both
of whom bailed the Bearcats out
last season when Pike and Dustin
Grutza got hurt will play against
Louisville. The Bearcats next game
is at Syracuse (2-4) a week later.
Pike ranks eighth nationally with
298.6 yards passing per game. With
the senior running their no-hud-
dle, spread offense, the Bearcats are
fourth nationally in scoring with
40.7 points per game.
Kelly has shown versatility
and creativity in managing his
quarterbacks. Last season, the
Bearcats were forced to use five of
them due to the injuries. Because
Cincinnati has prospered through
so much quarterback uncertainty,
the Bearcats dont seem too
concerned.
Its going to fall on the offensive
play-calling, Kelly said. Its going
to fall on making sure we get the
right kind of calls for whoever
the quarterback is. Were going to
have to do some things to protect
him a little bit more. Weve got
enough in our library that we can
work on whoever the quarterback
is. I dont believe anybody in that
locker room is concerned about it.
Well find a way to get it done.
Pike started the last eight games
last season with his arm in a cast.
When the season ended, he worked
out with weights to regain full
strength in the arm. The 6-foot-
6 quarterback put on about 20
pounds, bulking up to 230, so he
could take the pounding this sea-
son.
The left arm hadnt given him a
problem until the game at South
Florida, when he got knocked
backward and put the arm down to
break his fall late in the first half.
He started the second half but was
in a lot of pain.
Pike hasnt spoken publicly since
the injury. Receiver Armon Binns
said on Tuesday that Pike was in
good spirits during the light work-
out a day earlier.

Undefeated Broncos are
season's biggest surprise
assoCiated Press
denver broncos coach Josh Mcdaniels yells instructions on the sidelines during the second quarter against the San Diego Chargers on
Monday. The Broncos are undefeated despite a newcoach and newdefensive scheme.
AssociAted Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.
Most years, the Denver Broncos
couldnt scramble out of the doors
fast enough for a little rest and
relaxation on their bye week.
Thats hardly the case this
season.
The NFLs most surprising team
at 6-0, the Broncos are hesitant to
put football on the back burner
for a weekend, lest they lose their
edge. Theyd prefer to keep their
foot on the gas after a convincing
34-23 win over San Diego on
Monday night.
Why would they want to get
away from this?
The bye almost comes at an
inconvenient time for the Broncos,
who are quite mindful of keeping
their momentum after building a
3-game lead over the Chargers
in the AFC West.
Were going to stay on our Ps
and Qs and the time that we have
off, we are going to use it correctly
and come back ready to play,
linebacker D.J. Williams said.
Not all that long ago, the
Broncos were viewed as nothing
more than an entertaining
soap opera as new coach Josh
McDaniels kicked off his tenure
by quarreling with his Pro Bowl
quarterback Jay Cutler, leading to
a trade that sent Cutler to Chicago.
That was followed by a suspension
of talented receiver Brandon
Marshall for insubordination in
training camp.
But all those episodes are now
a fading memory as the Broncos
move to 6-0 for the fifth time in
franchise history.
They have a highly efficient
quarterback in Kyle Orton, a top-
ranked defense fueled by veteran
Brian Dawkins and the emergence
of a special teams threat in Eddie
Royal, who returned a punt and
kickoff for
touchdowns at
San Diego.
This team is
clicking. As for
c ompl a c e nc y
creeping in with
a week off, the
Broncos dont
think that will
be the case.
W e
understand that we have a long
way to go, Orton said. Weve got
to continue to work hard.
Those retro uniforms with the
funky socks the Broncos have
been donning in recent weeks are
becoming apropos.
Under McDaniels, this is
almost like a throwback team,
one willing to roll up their sleeves
and get to work.
Its a concept McDaniels
ingrained in the heat of training
camp when he put the players
through practices in full pads a
majority of the time. The approach
set the groundwork for physical
play, something the defense has
definitely adopted.
With defensive coordinator
Mike Nolan leading the resurgence,
the Broncos have transformed
into a top-notch defensive squad,
allowing a league-low 11 points
a game.
That after so many seasons
in such disarray,
blowing through
one defensive
coordinator after
another.
But the players
have quickly caught
on to Nolans switch
to a 3-4 look. Its
also opened things
up for defensive
end/linebacker Elvis
Dumervil, whos utilizing his long
wing span and low leverage to
shed offensive linemen and lead
the league with 10 sacks.
The Chargers embarrassed
the Broncos last season, winning
52-21 in the final game of the
season. That loss completed the
Broncos collapse as they blew a
three-game lead with three games
left and allowed San Diego to steal
the division title.
We understand that
we have a long way
to go. We've got to
continue to work
hard.

Te Kansas Jayhawks fnished
in seventh place at the Bill Ross
Intercollegiate in Kansas City, Mo.,
Tuesday. Te Jayhawks dropped
from fourth place to seventh place
in the fnal round of play.
Fourth would have been a
tolerable fnish, but seventh is not,
coach Kit Grove said. Te body
language from most of the players
was really poor and it was tough to
watch as a coach.
Grove said his biggest goal was
to overtake Nebraska, who had a
one-stroke lead on Kansas going
into the fnal round of play. Tat
did not happen as the Cornhuskers
jumped from third place to second
place.
Hats of to Nebraska for playing
as well as they did, Grove said.
Now we just have to fnish ahead
of them next week and get back
to where they are for the season
standings.
Central Arkansas won the
tournament with a total of 880
strokes. Kansas total number of
strokes was 911.
It was a disappointing fnish for
us and it couldnt have gone any
worse, Grove said.
Te individual leader for the
tournament was Dustin Garza
from Wichita State who shot a
three-round total of 211 strokes.
Te closest Jayhawk to that score
was surprisingly not Nate Barbee,
Dakota Dunes, S.D., junior. Barbee
had led the Jayhawks with the
best individual score in every
tournament so far this year, but
this time it was walk-on Jef Bell,
Wichita freshman who led the
Jayhawks in scoring with a total of
225. Right behind Bell was Barbee
with 226 strokes.
Jef has been a pleasant surprise
for us this year, Grove said. And
not just on the golf course. Hes a
great kid and he does well in school
and on the course he doesnt carry
the weight of a bad hole with him
on to the next one.
Tat attitude is one that many
golfers would love to have. Te
ability to forget about bad shots
can keep a score low instead of
blowing up.
Im just lucky when it comes to
that aspect of the game, Bell said.
It comes naturally for me to keep a
good attitude on the course.
Alex Gutesha, Greenwood
Village, Colo., fnished with a total
of 228 strokes right behind Bell and
Barbee.
Tis tournament couldve been
better for us obviously, Gutesha
said. We had high expectations
and just didnt come through.
Te lone senior in the Jayhawks
fve-man rotation, Bryan
Hackenberg, Denver, Colo., shot a
pair of 77s on Monday and an 80
on Tuesday to fnish with a total of
total of 234 and rounding out the
Jayhawks scores was Chris Gilbert,
Simi Valley, Calif., freshman, with
a 236.
Kansas will play in its fnal
tournament of the fall season next
week in Las Cruces, N.M., in the
Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate on
Oct. 26 and 27.
Gutesha said all the players
know what they need to do in the
next tournament. We dont have
too many issues with our games, its
just a mental thing, Gutesha said.
We all just need to take something
away from this tournament and
learn from it and it will beneft us
in the future.
Grove said his team will be
looking to improve on the seventh
place fnish.
We have some work to get done
before we leave on Saturday, but we
go into every tournament looking
to win and thats exactly what were
going to try to do, Grove said.

ASSocIATED PRESS
ANAHEIM, Calif. Alex
Rodriguez has done something
remarkable in every game of his
charmed October. CC Sabathia is
settling for every time he takes the
mound.
Together, theyve got the New
York Yankees within one game of a
return to the World Series.
Rodriguez homered in the third
straight game of his outstanding
postseason, Sabathia pitched eight
resilient innings of five-hit ball
on short rest, and the Yankees
defeated the Los Angeles Angels
10-1 Tuesday night to take a 3-1
lead in the American League
Championship Series.
Rodriguez had three hits and
scored three runs, while Melky
Cabrera drove in four runs for
the Yankees, who have built a
commanding cushion in this wild
series with power and pitching.
One day after the Angels handed
New York its first playoff loss in an
extra-inning thriller, the Yankees
calmly asserted control with two
early rallies before piling on five
runs late all backed by Sabathias
steady work in his second win over
the Angels on three days rest.
Johnny Damon added a late
two-run homer for the Yankees,
who could sew up their first trip
to the World Series in six years
with a win in Game 5 on Thursday
night at Angel Stadium. New Yorks
A.J. Burnett faces Angels ace John
Lackey.
With a two-run homer over the
left-field fence that silenced an
excited Anaheim crowd in the fifth,
Rodriguez drove in a run in his
eighth straight postseason game,
tying the major league record. It
was his fifth homer in New Yorks
seven postseason games, matching
Reggie Jacksons iconic 1977 effort
for the second-most homers in a
single playoff year for the Yankees.
Bernie Williams holds the New
York record with six homers in
1996, but that mark seems ripe
to be toppled by A-Rod in the
first phenomenal postseason for a
superstar who mostly sputtered in
October until now.
Rodriguez also singled and
scored New Yorks first run in the
fourth, and he doubled and scored
on an error in the ninth to cap his
do-it-all day.
After playing 24 innings over 9
hours and making a coast-to-coast
flight over the previous three days,
both teams needed a no-nonsense
victory. Sabathia came through
for the Yankees in his second win
of the series, providing rest for
New Yorks taxed bullpen while
further frustrating Los Angeles
lineup, which is foundering in
the playoffs after an outstanding
regular season.
The Yankees $161 million
left-hander yielded two walks
and struck out five, throwing
101 pitches. After he retired Torii
Hunter on a weak grounder to
end the eighth, thousands of fans
stood up and left Angel Stadium,
not sticking around for the final
demise of their suddenly punchless
club.

The Kansas volleyball team has
a big challenge ahead of it: Dont
underestimate Texas Tech.
The Jayhawks (10-8, 3-6) will
face the Red Raiders (2-15, 0-8)
in Lubbock, Texas. Texas Tech has
struggled all season and has only
won one set in Big 12 Conference
play all season.
While Texas Tech is the last place
team in the Big 12, it could be easy
for Kansas to overlook the Red
Raiders coming off an emotional
victory at Kansas State and with a
rematch against Missouri coming
up this Saturday.
Coach Ray Bechard said that if
his team looks ahead in the Big 12,
it could come back and bite them.
The team is focused on Texas
Tech, though, Bechard said.
Small steps in this league are
hard enough, and you can take
big steps backwards real quick,
Bechard said. The most important
match on our schedule right now
is tomorrow night at Tech.
Texas Tech has only won a
single conference match in the
last three seasons, but has a new
coaching staff that hopes to turn
the program around. Texas Tech
also has some talented players,
Bechard said.
They have some dynamic
athletes. They continue to work
hard and you can
see they are making
progress, Bechard
said. Obviously
we have to be
well-prepared and
execute well.
Junior libero
Melissa Manda
said that it would
be easy to look
ahead, but the team
is focused right now.
We are going to focus on them
just as any other game and try
and get better this match, Manda
said.
While Texas Tech doesnt
have a conference
victory yet, Texas
Tech isnt as bad as
its record suggests,
sophomore outside
hitter Lauren Hagan
said.
I heard they
played Texas and
were at 20-20,
Hagan said. They
lost in three, but they still put
pressure on Texas.
Kansas hopes to use the Kansas
State victory to help gain some
momentum for Texas Tech and the
second half of Big 12 Conference
play, Manda said.
We feel really good, Manda
said. It was definitely a step
forward for us. We arent letting it
go to our head, but it helps boost
our morale.

IOWA CITY, Iowa No. 7
Iowa is still having a tough time
convincing others of its status as
an early contender for the national
title.
Sure, the Hawkeyes (7-0, 3-0)
are the only undefeated team in the
Big Ten, and yes, Iowa has already
beaten Penn State, Wisconsin and
Iowa State on the road.
But looking at the Top 25 poll
and BCS standings shows that
theres still some doubts about the
Hawkeyes.
Iowa has reached its highest
spot in the Top 25 since 2002 and
is sixth in the BCS standings. But
the other unbeatens from BCS-
affiliated conferences; Alabama,
Florida, Texas and Cincinnati,
are all ranked higher than the
Hawkeyes in the Top 25 and the
BCS.
So what does Iowa have to do to
move up in terms of both national
perception and in the rankings?
Coach Kirk Ferentz doesnt
know and he insists that he
doesnt particularly care either.
Its October 20th, so Im not
too worried about any of that
stuff right now, Ferentz said. Its
pretty simple. When you win, you
feel pretty good. When you dont,
you dont feel so good. Thats good
enough for us right now.
The Hawkeyes will have another
chance to prove themselves
Saturday night when they play at
Michigan State (4-3, 3-1), which
has rebounded from a 1-3 start
with three straight wins.
The Hawkeyes are a one-point
favorite against Michigan State,
yet another sign of the doubt
many have about the Hawkeyes.
The best way for us to get
anywhere is just try to take care
of this week, and thats about all
we can handle right now, Ferentz
said.
Perhaps the biggest reason Iowa
is such a question mark is because
of something Ferentz has never
cared for: style points.
The Hawkeyes dont have them
and neither does the Big Ten.
Iowa didnt win many folks over
with its narrow 17-16 escape over
FCS school Northern Iowa in the
opener.
Iowa used a 21-10 victory at
Penn State to get back into the Top
25, but the Hawkeyes followed
that up by struggling to put away
Arkansas State and Michigan at
home before winning at Wisconsin
20-10 last weekend.
Iowas winning formula, while
far from flashy, has worked so far.
The Hawkeyes rely on a stellar
defense that takes opponents out
of their comfort zone and forces
turnovers Iowa is fourth in the
nation in turnover margin and
a balanced offense that uses the
clock and limits game-changing
mistakes as much as possible.
We dont really care how we
win. I mean, a win is a win,
Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi
said. The style points and all that
were not exactly the flashiest
ballclub. Everybody knows that,
so we didnt think wed be winning
any style points anyways.
Undefeated Iowa fghts for reputation

The most
important match on

A Friend Dies. Who Cares?
Toxic drinking is an epidemic on
campuses all across America.
It means consuming so much alcohol
the drinker passes out. But while sleeping
it off, the victim may be quietly dying.
When you come right down to it, students
themselves are the best ones to tackle
this problem. So, in growing numbers,
Stony Brook students have joined together
in the Red Watch Band movement.
Working with experts, they fine-tuned a
course in techniques to handle these
alcohol emergencies. Red Watch Band
members can act fast, when every second
counts. They know the quick steps they
can take to rescue a passed-out student
from a drinking death, and can immediately
summon professional help. Everyone
completing the course is given the
dis tinctive red watch for identification.
Since its inception at Stony Brook
University in March 2009, approximately
40 schools across the country have signed
on to implement this lifesaving program.
To prevent toxic drinking deaths, go to
