A federal appeals court refused Thursday to decide the constitutionality of the militarys now-repealed dont ask, dont tell policy banning openly gay troops, saying the issue has been resolved since Americans can enlist and serve in the armed forces without regard to sexual orientation. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco tossed out a lawsuit that had challenged the military policy as a violation of gay service members civil rights. In doing so, the appeals court also dismissed a Southern California trial judges year-old ruling that the policy was unconstitutional.

Fidel Castro mocked President Barack Obama on Thursday for saying hes open to changing U.S. policy toward Cuba if there is change on the island first, calling the U.S. leader stupid. Writing in one of his semiregular essays published across state-run media, Castro reacted with sarcasm to reported comments that Obama would be open to a different relationship with Cuba when there is political and social change. How kind! How intelligent! Castro said. Such kindness still has not allowed him to understand that 50 years of blockade and crimes against our country have not been able to bow our people.

Gunmen wearing military uniforms and carrying signs opposing Cameroons longtime ruler blockaded a major bridge early Thursday, shooting at police for several hours in an attack less than two weeks before the presidential election. Relative calm has returned to Douala after deployed troops arrested at least nine of the gunmen who were calling for President Paul Biya to quit, a military official said on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak to the press. Biya, who has been in power since 1982, faces 22 challengers in the Oct. 9 poll. Eyewitness Itah Robert said Thursdays early morning gunfight took place on the mile-long Wouri Bridge.

Investigators say a powerful car bomb killed eight people, including an 11-year-old girl and a police officer, in Russias volatile Dagestan province. The Investigative Committee, Russias top investigative body, said the explosive that was planted in a car parked at a road crossing in the central Levashinsky district also wounded six more police officers Wednesday. Dagestan, a multiethnic, predominantly Muslim republic, is plagued by near-daily violence. It is part of the restive Caucasus region that has been destabilized by an Islamist insurgency that has spread across the region following two separatist wars in Chechnya.

Enrollment rates still dropping

d.m. scott
dmscott@kansan.com education receives less state support. To enhance the KU brand, tuition dollars are critical in allowing us to do what we want and need to do, Melvin said. Enrollment declines always come at a bad time. Now is especially poignant as the University looks to raise admission standards under the leadership of Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little. Discussions over the quality, quantity and diversity of students must be carefully considered. Melvin said the real question is how the University can successfully predict which students will be academically successful. Currently, the admission criterion admits students that do not have a high propensity to succeed academically at KU based on their academic background and experience. Melvin said. Other ways that the University is affected by low enrollment include lower retention and graduation rates, students accumulating loan debt, and spending dollars that the state cant recoup. The new renewable scholarships are one way were enhancing recruitment, while helping students stay at KU and succeed is a key element of the new strategic plan, Martin said. To increase enrollment, the University will look to better align new students with financial aid and embrace basic enrollment fundamentals, such as speed, service, responsiveness and personalization. There are not that many revolutionary strategies out there. It is about execution. Hustle is a style and a strategy that can take one a long way in the enrollment game, Melvin said.

fall 2011 enrollment
University enrollment numbers continue to fall from a record count in 2008 as a new report by the Kansas Board of Regents indicates a 2.5 percent decline for the 2011 fall semestera drop off of 744 students. This current enrollment trend has KU officials searching for solutions. The enrollment decline is an issue of both recruitment and retention, so it is going to take a broad-based effort across the university to truly address it, said Jack Martin, director of strategic communication. Matt Melvin, associate vice provost for student success, said that the numbers were disappointing but were not unexpected. Officials evaluate enrollment and retention by student flow through, which looks at specific cohorts of students and watches how they move through the enrollment process from year to year. This process helps officials monitor attrition rates and spot problems areas, such as sophomore slumps and junior jaunts. We knew where we stood in terms of enrollment, Melvin said. The student flow through becomes an important part of enrollment management. You can often build enrollment on the back of retention in addition to enhanced recruitment, Melvin said. The problem rests with the record enrollment of 30,102 in 2008. The freshman classes of 2009 and 2010 were much smaller. As these classes work their way through the system, they negatively impact enrollment numbers because incoming classes cant make up the record difference. Low enrollment numbers hurt the University in a number of ways. First, enrollment declines hurt the brand and make it somewhat harder to attract new students since people want to be affiliated and engaged with a school seemingly on the move as a result of enrollment increases, Melvin said. Smaller enrollment numbers create inefficiencies due to excess classroom capacity and residence halls. The lack of revenue from tuition dollars also hurts as higher

Local project recieves grant

By ElisE REutER
editor@kansan.com A small collaboration of workers received national recognition for an idea that could change the lives of deaf-blind students across the country. The Kansas Deaf-Blind Project was awarded the Steppingstones New Technology grant to measure the effectiveness of its Distance Mentorship Project, the first program of its kind. The project provides video cameras and other technology equipment for teachers, counselors, therapists, family members and other specialized educators of deaf-blind students. This allows teams to have weekly video conferences with one another to discuss progress, goals, and plans to enhance the students education. Were trying to find a way to capture the learning thats occurring, based on their ability to communicate and their independence, project coordinator Megan Cote said. The use of video chat is especially useful in coordination between team members, as it makes advising available for families who live too far away to receive help on a regular basis. The grant will go in effect on Oct. 1 and will give $200,000 over two years to the project. So far, staff members have focused on working with a handful of families, but the long-term goal is to spread the use of technology to reach deaf-blind teens and those who help them across the nation. There are 148 youth on the deafblind registry in Kansas, and hopefully the progress of this effort can be measured in a concrete way. It would be great if our district would adopt this technology, as well as other agencies and experts throughout the country. It would really be of huge value to teachers, said Kristen Rudd, an advisory board member and teacher in the Blue Valley district who works with deaf-blind students. The project should also prove useful in helping deaf-blind teens find employment. Sometimes, the kids are nonverbal, so they cant go out on their own and say why they should be employed, Cote said. The videos can show their potential vocational skills, so the employer will be more likely to hire them even if a standard interview is not possible. Staff members like Rudd have enjoyed their learning experience with the project and hope more people can get involved with it. The Kansas Deaf-Blind Project is a wealth of knowledge so I would certainly recommend that anyone wanting to learn more about this disability contact them to get more information and training, Rudd said.

The University of Kansas is playing a part in the preservation of dying languages in western china through the help of two grants from the Documenting endangered languages program. arienne Dwyer, associate professor of linguistic anthropology at KU is teaming up with Professor w. Ma from the Qinghai nationalities University in china to develop ways to restore dying languages and train linguists how to continue that work. They have developed a website called the Interactive Inner asia Project. The website will document the language of Salar, an endangered language spoken in a region of western china, along with four other

languages which are spoken in a western region that was settled by Mongols, Turks, Tibetans and chinese in the 13th century. Dywer said that studying the four languages shows how all languages are intertwined. Dwyer has also received another grant to create an online dictionary of each languages vocabularies. next summer, she will co-conduct a series of training programs designed for linguists working to preserve languages in risk of dying out because of mixing cultures and speakers relocating. The two grants are jointly supported by the national Science Foundation and the national endowment for the Humanities. Sarah Plake

additional insurance Spanish storytime success needed for abortions

associated press Women seeking abortions in Kansas will have to pay for the procedure or get extra insurance after a judge refused to block a new law that restricts insurance coverage for abortions. The law prohibits insurance companies from offering abortion coverage as part of general health plans, except when a womans life is at risk. Women who want abortion coverage must buy supplemental policies. The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the state, arguing that lawmakers true intent was to create obstacles for woman seeking abortions. It was seeking a temporary injunction, but a judge ruled Thursday that the group failed to prove its claims. The law is among several major anti-abortion initiatives approved this year in Kansas. Two have been temporarily blocked, including one that would impose stricter regulations on abortion clinics.

college bullying laws examined, compared

associated press A look at laws passed or updated by state legislatures in the year since the suicide of Rutgers University student Tyler Clementi brought renewed attention to the problem of bullying: Arkansas: Requires school districts to train staff members about bullying and investigate credible reports. A second law bans cyberbullying. California: First state requiring public schools to teach in social studies about the contributions of gays and lesbians. A conservative group is pushing to overturn the law by public vote. Colorado: Outlaws bullying by electronic means and requires training for teachers on how bullying can affect students and is often based on minority status. Connecticut: Requires anti-bullying training for all school employees, sets deadlines for administrators to investigate reports and requires publicly available statistics. New Jersey: Requires antibullying policies in schools; passage was expedited after Clementis death in September 2010. Rhode Island: Requires state Education Department to develop policies banning bullying by Internet or text message to be adopted by every district by the end of June next year. Also would ban student Facebook use during school hours. Washington State: Requires school staff members to intervene in bullying situations and requires districts to respond in writing to bullying complaints within five days.
and has helped shape the program into what it is today, reaching the growing Spanish-speaking community in Lawrence. We thought one of the resources in the community is the library, Lydia said. We wanted to try and do outreach to families to let them know whats available in the community, how they can be involved, what they might have access to. These thoughts formulated Hora De Cuentos. We get to celebrate Spanish and we also have other people learn Spanish, Lydia said. Although he realizes it would be difficult for a non-Spanishspeaking family to build on and continue with the language elements learned at the storytime, Abel still finds value in Hora De Cuentos. What you end up having is either one of the parents speaks Spanish or some connection to the language, Abel said. Otherwise, its harder. But we still have fun. Edited by Mandy Matney

Students promote Alternative Break

Students and speakers came together to share their experiences with volunteering
Erin Flemming was a sophomore when she went on an Alternative Break trip to the border between Mexico and America in Arizona that changed the course of her life. I went down there and I was really just blown away and shocked about all the terrible atrocities that happen along the border, said Flemming, a law school student from Miami. That really was the moment for me when everything changed and my life trajectory was totally changed. That point was really what drove me to law school. Flemming and fellow students Will Dale, Melanie Gorges and Adam Strunk, along with alumni Maggie Beedles, Elaine Jardon, Annie McBride, and Jeff Severin shared stories of how volunteer work enriched and changed their lives Thursday in the Woodruff Auditorium. Alternative Breaks and the Center for Community Outreach sponsored the event to give volunteers the opportunity to reflect on and celebrate service and share their experiences as part of homecoming
JessiCa JaNasZ/KaNsaN maggie Beedles, a former alternative Breaks coordinator at KU, shared her experience from her alternative break she went on during her senior year of high school. She visited a shelter in alamosa, Colo., and discussed how giving a man who was passionate about art a new box of colored pencils gave her a new perspective on the idea of privilege. week. We see it as a perfect space to celebrate the stories of our alumni and our own students, said Emily Lamb, co-director of the CCO. Homecoming is all about coming back and reflecting on your experiences at KU and reflecting on what youve done. Rather than structuring the event as a presentation, planners decided to model it after a poetry slam; speakers spoke freely, for the most part without any notes. Lamb said she wanted the stories to feel organic and engaging rather than rehearsed. Everybody think of your favorite childhood memory, said Jeff Severin, the director of the KU Center for Sustainability and a KU graduate, who spoke. Raise your hand if it took place outside, he added, as the majority of the crowd of 100 students lifted their hands in the air. The outdoors were central to the volunteer work Severin did while at KU. As a junior he went to a state park in Florida on an alternative spring break which reinforced his passion for the environment. It also led him to start GROW, a program
JessiCa JaNasZ/KaNsaN Elaine Jardon, a language arts teacher at topeka High School, is a KU graduate who ended up creating her own alternative break with her group because of a schedule miscommunication. However, Jardon remarked, I think the alternative break we created was better than the original because of all the people we helped. at the Lawrence Boys and Girls Club that allows kids to participate in outdoor activities and learn about the environment. Audience member Erin Dvorak, a sophomore from Spencer, Iowa, said she was inspired by the stories she heard. I want to participate in alternative breaks and it just made me want to help my community even more, she said. Edited by Josh Kantor

model airplanes might become a terrorist weapon

assoCiated press
Model airplanes are suddenly on the publics radar as potential terrorist weapons. A 26-year-old man from a Boston suburb was arrested Wednesday and accused of plotting to attack the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with remote-controlled model planes packed with explosives. These are not balsa-wood-and-rubber-band toys investigators are talking about. The FBI said Rezwan Ferdaus hoped to use military-jet replicas, 5 to 7 1/2 feet long, guided by GPS devices and capable of speeds over 100 mph. Federal officials have long been aware of the possibility someone might try to use such planes as weapons, but there are no restrictions on their purchase Ferdaus is said to have bought his over the Internet. Counterterrorism experts and model-aircraft hobbyists said it would be nearly impossible to inflict largescale damage of the sort Ferdaus allegedly envisioned using model planes. The aircraft are too small, cant carry enough explosives and are too tricky to fly, they said. The idea of pushing a button and this thing diving into the Pentagon is kind of a joke, actually, said Greg Hahn, technical director of the Academy of Model Aeronautics. Rick Nelson, a former Navy helicopter pilot who is now a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Ferdaus would have had to hit a window or other vulnerable area to maximize damage, and that would have taken precision flying. Flying a remote-controlled plane isnt as easy as it actually looks, and then to put an explosive on it and have that explosive detonate at the time and place that you want it add to the difficulty of actually doing it, he said. Ferdaus, a Muslim American from Ashland, was arrested after federal agents posing as al-Qaida members delivered what he believed was 24 pounds of C-4 explosive, authorities said. He was charged with attempting to damage or destroy a federal building with explosives. A federal affidavit claims he began planning jihad against the U.S. in early 2010 after becoming convinced through jihadi websites and videos that America was evil. Ferdaus had a physics degree from Northeastern University and enjoyed taking stuff apart and learning on my own, according to court papers. The model planes Ferdaus eyed were the F-4 Phantom and the F-86 Sabre, small-scale versions of military jets, investigators said. The F-4 is the more expensive of the two, at up to $20,000, Hahn said. The F-86, one of which Ferdaus actually obtained, costs $6,000 to $10,000 new.

Grant funds research into nanotech

jacoB mcNiel
jmcniel@kansan.com The National Science Foundation granted $340,000 for research into whispering gallery mode resonators that can detect minute particles within the human body. WGM resonators are tiny glass beads that trap the light of a laser and measure its refraction to detect disease and biological clues in the body. Resonators are so small that 10 of them could fit into the period at the end of this sentence. Testing for early indications of disease is a challenge for many researchers. Robert Dunn, professor of chemistry at the University of Kansas, said these new tests could become faster, cheaper and simpler. Dunn plans on using WGM resonators to help detect ovarian cancer. The term whispering gallery was coined to explain the how sound waves travel through the dome-shaped ceiling of St. Pauls Cathedral in London. A soft whisper underneath the dome could be heard clearly in another part of the building. Scientists have applied this same principle to light waves to create the microresonators, which can measure particles smaller than 100 nanometers. Edited by Jason Bennett

City proves it protects citizens rights

Its a governing bodys job to protect citizens who are under distress, or under threat of discrimination. Tuesday night, the Lawrence City Commission passed a measure to make discriminating on the basis of gender identity a city offense. Gender identity now joins sex, race, religion, origin, ancestry, age, color, disability and sexual orientation as officially protected from discrimination. Along with the Lawrence gay community, transgender residents and students can now officially file claims against people who discriminate against them because of their gender identity. This is a big step for civil rights in Lawrence and Kansas. We support the inclusion of gender identity in the citys code, and applaud Mayor Aron Cromwell and the commissioners for making Lawrence the only city in Kansas to recognize gender identity as a protected classification. City Council was flooded with over 100 people at Tuesdays meeting. About 50 people publicly commented, making the meeting last four hours. Opponents to the amendment included business owners, pastors, church-goers, and other concerned citizens. They explained how the amendment would threaten their Christian moral environment, restrict business practices, and threaten their children by giving pedophiles an excuse to go into opposite gender public restrooms. However, as some commissioners said, a citys duty is to its citizens, not to their morality. The anti-discrimination measure wont restrict businesses to hire employees they think will be the best candidate for a position. This amendment will make it clearer to businesses how they can and cant act with transgender workers. Transsexual and transgender citizens are already using their bathrooms of choice, and the pedophile argument was effectively debunked by Cromwell. When a citizen is stressed and pressured from a society that doesnt accept his or her opposite gender identities, or is discriminated against in school and work, children and adults can suffer from Gender Identity Disorder. Classified as a disorder by the American Psychiatric Association, GID can lead to severe depression. In a report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, 41 percent of respondents reported attempting suicide. That jumped to 55 percent in respondents who reported losing a job due to discrimination. The transgender population needs to be protected like any other classification in Lawrences human relations code, and by passing the amendment, the city commission showed its commitment to protect all Lawrence citizens.

Freshen your nails like a queen

Queen Nefertiti wore it. Cleopatra wore it. Even modern day Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, wears it. And college girls across America today wear it. So, what do we have in common with these royals? The answer is nail polish. Invented over 5,000 years ago by the Ming Dynasty, nail lacquer has been one of the longest and most successful fashion trends to this day. Chinese royalty wore colored nail polish in relation to the current dynasty. The ancient Egyptians used nail lacquer to symbolize their rank. Even Cleopatra used a red stain for her nails. Although nail polish no longer suggests a statement of rank or royalty, it is still a necessary accessory for any outfit. Nina Garcia, fashion editor at Marie Claire, said that nail polish is a matter of taste and appropriateness, so select wisely. Since we are now into fall, consider choosing a darker shade when you decide to freshen up those nails. One of my favorites for this transitional period is Case Study by Essie. Its beige pigment works well with falls hues of browns and burnt orange. You

will be studying your nails all night long with this color. In order to obtain the glamour and glitz from one of my favorite places, Lincoln Park, Ill., use Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI. An eggplant shade is the perfect dark color for all skin tones and InStyle magazine rated it as the Best Dark Nail Polish for 2011. The most popular nail color for this upcoming season is military green, such as Sew Psyched by Essie. This sage-pewter color works best with the camouflage trend. Not to worry though, your nails wont hide with this shade. If you want to keep it simple and sweet, stick with the all-time favorite Marshmallow by Essie. This cloudy white coordinates with every outfit and is incredibly chic with a monochromatic heather beige ensemble. You view your fingernails all day long, so why not make them your most stylish accessory with your upcoming outfits. Lizzie Marx is a sophomore in journalism from St. Louis

town. Senior tight end Tim Bieres last name literally means beers in German. And if his team gives him a bigger role in its offensive game plan, Kansas football fans might have a reason to crack open a cold one and celebrate . Biere was one of the few bright spots for the Jayhawks (2-1) in their 66-24 drubbing at the hands of Georgia Tech on Sept. 17. The 6-foot-4 tight end was the biggest target on the field, but he still managed to get separation and finish with three catches for 40 yards. If the Jayhawks want to have chances for success this season in the few winnable conference games on their schedule, like Saturdays home game against Texas Tech (3-0), the coaching staff has got to get the big target, Biere, more involved in the offense. All of his catches against Georgia Tech were made in the first half, when the game was still within reach. That included two critical receptions of

mvernon@kansan.com One of the first times sophomore quarterback Jordan Webbs mother, Stacy Grus, approached his high school coach, she was told something that Webb had frequently heard throughout his life. I just said, Jordan would really like to be able to do this posthigh school, Grus said. And at that time his high school coach told me, Well, hes too short. Fortunately, the 6-foot, 195-pound Webb had a mindset that said otherwise from the very beginning. Grus said Jordan has a if you tell me I cant then Im going to show you I can personality. Thats just been him since he was born, quite frankly, she said. Grus, an elementary school teacher, said her son was a bit of a class clown and had always been a vocal child. Webb once took a summer school class taught by his mom. She said that she had to frequently send him into the hall as a punishment for distracting the other kids. When Webb was old enough to play football, he did not hesitate. After all, he was the youngest of four football-playing brothers. Webb played linebacker and running back up until seventh grade, when he was able to play in junior high. He had followed in his brothers footsteps for long enough it was time to play quarterback and be a leader. By the time he was a freshman backup for the high school team, Webb knew playing quarterback was something he wanted to do for a long time. He quit playing baseball, a sport he was successful in, to devote his time solely to football. At the end of his freshman year, Webbs mom and his coach, the one who thought he was too small to play at the collegiate level, began to see Webb had a future in football. My high school coach is a very good, well-respected coach. He told me when I was a freshman I had a chance to be a Division 1 player, Webb said. I just took that to heart and really wanted to work hard and try and become that. He told me, Im going to start next year, Im going to do whatever it takes, Grus said. Just seeing him push himself to be able to do that, kind of made me think, well maybe there is something special going on with him. And something special has Webb currently has one of the top quarterback passer ratings in
college football. Working hard throughout the offseason has paid off in Webbs sophomore year. Senior receiver Kale Pick and junior receiver D.J. Beshears both said that they have not at all been surprised at what Webb has done this year. To be honest, Im not that impressed with him, because Ive been with him this whole year, Pick said. I knew he was going to have a good year. Hes finally showing the rest of the people in the stadium what he can do. Its very impressive if its the first time seeing him, but Ive seen it in spring ball, seen it in fall camp and hes been doing this the whole year. Last year, as a freshman who started seven games, Webb had a quarterback rating of 106.8,

The Jayhawks enter conference play with a 2-1 record and an opportunity to exceed preseason expectations. They are coming off a bye week where they were able to move past the Georgia Tech loss and re-focus their thoughts on Texas Tech. Defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said the defense, which has been suspect at times, used the bye week to correct their fundamentals and technique. The defense is going to have to be on top of their game against an electric Texas Tech offense this week.

Junior defensive end Toben Opurum: Shealy said one of the keys to stopping the Red Raiders offense is to get pressure on their quarterback, Opurum junior Seth Doege. The player who has the best chance to get in the backfield and disrupt Doege is Opurum. Opurum is second on the team in tackles this season and is first in tackles for losses. The former running back has the athletic ability to beat opposing offensive lineman, and he needs to when he takes the field Saturday, if Kansas wants a chance to win the game.

Gill
The non-conference portion of the Jayahwks season went better than most expected for coach Turner Gill and offensive coordinator Chuck Long. The 2-1 start already surpasses the one win season that Sports Illustrated had predicted. The offense has shown major strides of improvement, as the team has scored over 40 points twice. On the defensive side of the ball, defensive coordinator Vic Shealys players have not shown the same signs of improvement as the offense. The defense has been dismantled by not only Georgia Tech, but by Northern Illinois and McNeese State as well. Shealy will be tested against a Texas Tech school that will pounce on any defense that is not prepared from the start.

Is the defense really that bad? The Kansas defense ranks last in the NCAA by allowing an average of 550 yards per game. The Georgia Tech game inflated those numbers after running for over 600 yards and gaining over 700 total yards. The defense gets a chance to show that the Georgia Tech game was a fluke, because of their triple-option offense. The secondary has been suspect all season, and with Texas Techs pass happy ways, theyll be put to the test Saturday. After the game Saturday, a lot of questions about the defense will be answered.
baby jay WIll cheeR IF ...

If the defense has corrected some of its fatal flaws. The offense will have opportunities to score and should put some points on the scoreboard. Its up to the defense to slow the Texas Tech attack down and give the offense a chance to win them the game. If the defense can get pressure on Doege, it will go a long way to helping the defense keep the Red Raiders out of the end zone.
baby jay WIll WeeP IF ...

Doege gets on a roll early and the Jayhawk offense fails to keep up, leading to a mass exodus of students from the game before halftime.
How will the Red Raiders defense fair against Kansas potent rushing attack?
For the second week in a row, Texas Tech will face a top 20 rushing offense. The Jayhawks feature a bevy of strong running backs, and if the Red Raiders defense cant slow them down, Techs wont be able to get their offense on the field.

Businesses face homecoming

ssmall@kansan.com Homecoming is here, which means that more local business customers are in Lawrence. Businesses are preparing accordingly for the increased traffic. Oread general manager Nancy Longhurst said the hotel is doing all it can to get ready for the weekend rush. All the hotels, of course, are full a year in advance, Longhurst said. When people are here, theyre in a great mood and they want to remember their college days. This years homecoming game is scheduled for 11 a.m., which is beneficial for most businesses. However, one business that wont profit from the early game time is the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union. KU Bookstores director Estella McCollum said the time of the game is more important than its accompanying events. When we have a 6 oclock game, it seems like people make an event of the day, come in time to tailgate as well as do some shopping and spend more time on campus, McCollum said. Bars and restaurants, however, will probably benefit from the early game time, most opening their doors early to serve customers. The Nest, a bar located on the ninth floor of the Oread, always has a large crowd on gameday. They just flock up here, Longhurst said. We have two bars up here and theyre both very, very busy. But we do well in both of them because everybodys got to talk about their college days and the game they just saw and its a lot of fun for people to exchange stories. Edited by Ben Chipman

The first ever title of homecoming princess went to Paige Alexandria Whiteside, a freshman from Jefferson City, Tenn.

Its an amazing feeling, a great honor that I dont take lightly, Parker said after he was crowned. Im definitely going to carry out my duties as I should. It feels great to represent my fraternity as the homecoming King. The Black Student Union is the only organization on campus that still crowns homecoming royalty, and BSU Vice President Rebecca Neville, a sophomore from Merrillville, Ind., said the pageants history goes back a long way. In 1969, that was our last campus-wide pageant, Neville said. There was a black woman nominated and they decided to end the whole thing all together. The Black Student Union decided that theyd nominate their own homecoming Queen. Contestants had to introduce themselves with a song that represented them and an item that stood for what they believed in. They also had to answer questions from the judges. Parker and Diggins will ride on the BSUs float in the homecoming parade on Saturday. Edited by Josh Kantor

Elizabeth Miller, a senior from St. Louis, helped create the Student Union Activities mural, which featured postcards with various University icons including the World War II Memorial Campanile. I like to paint in my free time. Its kind of a stress reliever, Miller said. Its just something fun to do to get publicity out for SUA and participate in the tradition. The mural contest was judged by University faculty and staff, which included Joy Maxwell, a 2003 graduate of Kansas and assistant director of Kansas City programs for the Universitys Alumni Association. Im just looking for creativity something thats original that goes with the theme, Maxwell said. Its a great way to bring students together. Each organization was given a three-by-two-foot canvas on which they could paint anything related to the homecoming theme, From Lawrence with Love. This years murals ranged from secret agent Jayhawks to University students sharing love letters. The Student Alumni Leadership Board took first place in the student life division and Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon won in the Greek life division. Liz Sperbeck, a senior from Eden Prairie, Minn., and campus outreach chairwoman, said that the mural contest collected donations that contributed to homecoming weeks fundraising effort for the United Way. Students, faculty and staff could support the mural they enjoyed the most by placing money in corresponding buckets near the paintings. We have seen some new groups, and some groups whove competed in the past step-up a little bit more, Sperbeck said. Wed always love more, but were definitely pleased.

KU students use the oldest and newest drawing materials to leave their mark on Wescoe Beach as they competed in the Chalk n Rock homecoming competition Wednesday afternoon. Delta Gamma and Phi Kappa Psi used 3-D chalk in their design. Laken Rapier, a junior from Texas, created the design for the joint effort this year. She said the group has never used 3-D chalk before. I think its really going to set us apart from everyone else, Rapier said. I dont see any other 3-D chalk out here. Alpha Epsilon Pi went with older material and used charcoal in its design. Brandon Wagner, a freshman from Overland Park, said charcoal stays longer and produces a dark black color. Other groups put their focus on the design. Elizabeth Miller, a senior from St. Louis, created the design for Student Union Activities. Miller said the idea of a quilt came from the homecoming theme, From Lawrence with Love.

As this is the Universitys 99th homecoming celebration, many traditions have developed in time. Erin Rossiter, a senior from Omaha, Neb., said she thinks this is part of what makes the University great. KU is more than just a place where people teach and go to school, Rossiter said. The traditions stay alive because without them wed just be any other school. However, for better or worse, some traditions have faded to oblivion.

There used to be massive concerts in Allen Fieldhouse for students to enjoy the week of the big game. In 1971, Student Union Activities brought Bob Hope to perform in Allen Fieldhouse. RigHt: Bob and Delores Hope talk with students at Allen Fieldhouse in 1971.
Concerts in the Fieldhouse
Students gather for Doc Yaks medicine show in 1946.
Back in the 1940s, homecoming week featured an event called Doc Yaks Medicine Show. For it, an actor dressed as an old-fashioned doctor handed out sugar pills that he claimed would boost the school spirit in KU students and ensure a win in the homecoming football game.
Doc Yaks Medicine show
In 1922 the first annual Hobo Day was celebrated. For it, students dressed in clothes resembling those of a hobo. Students also brought along old clothes to sell or exchange. In a 1928 Hobo Days celebration, students in two vegetable trucks on campus had a vegetable fight. The event was most popular in the 1920s and 1930s, but eventually faded away.
Hobo Day
In 1935, students tried to orchestrate duck race on Potter Lake. Reports show that there was a good student turnout at the event, but the morning was pretty chilly and the ducks just huddled in the middle of the lake. Eventually, the marching bands duck crossed the finish line but it wasnt enough to save the tradition.

A candidate for homecoming queen rides into Memorial Stadium in 1965.
The University crowned its first homecoming queen in 1925. The tradition continued on an annual basis between 1933 and 1969. However, by the early 1970s, anti-Vietman War sentiments overshadowed the tradition and the University stopped crowning homecoming queens. At the same time, sororities and fraternities were encouraged not to decorate their houses for homecoming. Eventually, sororities and fraternities got back into decorating their houses, but homecoming queens have not been crowned since. Now, the University celebrates two students leadership, service and academic efforts with the Ex.C.E.L. Award.

Big 12 homecoming traditions

Morgan SiMpSon
editor@kansan.com
This story originally ran in the homecoming special section on Sept. 26.
Even with the turmoil in the Big 12, various schools traditions have managed to stick around for dozens of years. Heres a look at how homecoming is handled at a few universities around the conference.
UniverSity Of texaS
Although individual schools within the University of Texas host homecoming events, the university does not host an official homecoming game.
kanSaS State UniverSity

Down I-70 West in Manhattan, the Wildcats will take on the Sooners for their homecoming football game on Oct. 29. At Kansas State, sororities and fraternities dominate most homecoming-related festivities. The houses are paired up and make signs to show Wildcat spirit for the homecoming theme of the year. Another tradition is a 5K race to benefit a local organization. This year, all profits will go to Shepherds Crossing, which provides resources to impoverished people. There is also a sidewalk chalk contest the week of homecoming.
OklahOma State UniverSity

Similar to many schools, Oklahoma State hosts a homecoming parade through campus. For a more unique tradition, there is also an annual Legacy Coloring Competition, where children are invited to help Pistol Pete decorate for Americas Greatest Homecoming Celebration. This year, the Cowboys take on the Bears for their homecoming game on Oct. 29.
UniverSity Of miSSOUri
This year, the Tigers take on the Cyclones on Oct. 15. Missouri boasts the largest student run homecoming in the nation. Events include a parade, spirit rally and blood drive, which has previously been recorded as the largest blood drive on a campus. There is also a talent competition that lasts three nights throughout the week where students can show off their unusual talents.
texaS tech UniverSity

Since 1954, Texas Tech has held an election for homecoming queen. There is also a parade, float competition and pep rally, which is called the Rowdy Raider Rally and is held on the Friday before the football game. This year Texas Tech plays K-State on Oct. 15 for homecoming.
iOwa State UniverSity

Up in the Hawkeye State, the first official homecoming for Iowa State was in 1912. This year, Iowa State will play Texas A&M on Oct. 22. The school also hosts a fireworks display and cheerleading competition. During the week, hundreds of students also volunteer to build a house for Habitat for Humanity.
baylOr UniverSty
Baylor University claims to have the oldest and largest homecoming parade in the country. Every year, the parade works its way through town and up to the Baylor campus. The university also hosts a singing competition, which is called the Singspiration and honors generations of Baylor alumni, students and families. This year, the Bears are battling it out on Nov. 5 against the Tigers.

(14) Texas a&M (18) ArkAnsAs 11 a.m. SatuRday, oct. 1
Texas A&M will get an early taste of what Sec play will feel like next season when it takes on Arkansas, its longtime rival dating back to their days together in the Southwest conference. With both teams coming off a loss, the winner will renew its chances of receiving a BcS Bowl birth, while the loser will almost certainly be eliminated from that race.
PlayER to Watch
Texas A&M running back cyrus Gray. After running the ball 21 and 29 times in the Aggies first two games, Gray only ran the ball 13 times in the Aggies loss to oklahoma State last week. They will need a big day from Gray to take the pressure off ryan Tannehill and the passing game.

(15) baylor kansas state 2 P.m. SatuRday, oct. 1
Kansas State has momentum after its thrilling road victory against Miami(fL) last week, but its seventh ranked defense will face a much tougher task trying to control the Baylor offense led by robert Griffin III. This is as much of a strength vs. strength matchup as they come and the winner will be determined by whichever team budges first.
realistically, Ball State shouldnt provide too much of a challenge for the second ranked Sooners. But if the Sooners take them lightly, Ball State could sneak up on them and provide a slight challenge. They do have a convincing win against Army, but also lost at South florida 37-7. expect the Sooner starters to put in three quarters of good work before they put in the younger guys to get some experience. If the Sooners truly deserve their number two ranking, theyll take care of Ball State at home with ease.
PlayER to Watch
Baylor quarterback robert Griffin III. Griffin has put up good enough stats to thrust him to the forefront of the Heisman discussion. If he continues his success, Baylor will emerge victorious; if he struggles, it will open the door for a Wildcat upset.
Jones
oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones. Jones has completed 72 percent of his passes for 1,022 yards, but what may concern Sooner fans about their offensive leader is his 5-4 touchdown to interception ratio. Ball State provides Jones with an opportunity to pad his stats before the Sooners take on Texas next week.

(17) Texas Iowa State 6 P.m. SatuRday, oct. 1
In a matchup of undefeated teams, the winner will be labeled a contender and the loser a pretender. Texas is looking to avenge its loss last season when the cyclones defeated the Longhorns in Austin. It was the first time that Iowa State ever defeated Texas. This year, the Longhorns will be led by a new quarterback with a familiar name, as case Mccoy makes his second career start for the Longhorns.
PlayER to Watch
Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz. Jantz has thrown three interceptions twice this season, but is at his best when the game is on the line in the fourth quarter, including a game tying touchdown pass with 1:17 left in the cyclones win over Iowa and a game winning touchdown run with 40 seconds left in its win over northern Iowa. Jantz will need to pull out another heroic fourth quarter for the cyclones to defeat Texas.

fter a successful second season with the Kansas City Chiefs last year, quarterback Matt Cassel continues to struggle this season. Cassel threw for 3,116 yards with 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2010. Solid play from the quarterback, but after three games this year, Cassel has more interceptions than touchdowns and his quarterback rating is 65.5. After throwing an interception in last weeks game against San Diego in the final two minutes, Kansas City needs to look for a solid quarterback in the National Football Leagues 2012 draft. The 64 senior returned for another season and his choice may pay off. Cam Newton was the number one pick last year and Andrew Luck has the potential to follow in his footsteps. Luck is the complete package. He has the size, arm strength and mechanics to be a lethal weapon in the NFL. During his junior campaign, Luck threw for 3,338 yards with 32 touchdowns and eight interceptions and completed 71 percent of his passes. His quarterback rating was solid at 170.2. Luck already started this season on a good note, only throwing one interception in Stanfords
Chiefs need to replace Cassel with 2012 draft pick

that would help Kansas City right away. The 65 235 pound senior may not receive the publicity like Landry Jones or Andrew Luck, but Nick Foles deserves attention. Foles has the arm and pocket presence to be a lethal starting quarterback in the NFL. As a sophomore, Foles threw for 2,486 yards with 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 63 percent of his passes. Last year he increased those numbers, throwing for 3,191 yards with one more touchdown and interception. After four games this season, Foles has 10 touchdowns with NO interceptions. He also completed 70 percent of his passes and has a quarterback rating of 154.9. He is a very efficient quarterback that could be a steal in this years draft. Calling Robert Griffin III the most athletic quarterback in the draft is an understatement. RGIII is a true dual threat. His projected 40-yard dash time was 4.42. Wide receivers and running backs are generally the only positions with that speed! RGIII threw for 3,501 yards with 22 touchdowns last year, and he has excelled through the first three games

three games. Hes so good, that #SuckforLuck, the concept that an NFL team will perform poorly on purpose to get a higher draft pick, is trending on Twitter. The big, strong-armed junior has thrown for 1,022 yards in his first three games this year, completing 72.1 percent of his passes. Jones has four interceptions already, but facing tough talent like Florida State and Missouri, that can be expected. Jones owns seven passing records at the University of Oklahoma. He broke the single-season completion record with 371, and finished the season with 405 completions, and set season and career records for 400-yard games. He also tied the single-game yardage record with 468 yards on an OU record 62 attempts. Jones threw for 4,718 yards with 38 touchdowns in 2010. The 6-foot-4 quarterback is a true pocket passer

this year. Griffin has more touchdown passes than incomplete passes. He has an astonishly-high 236 quarterback rating with 13 touchdowns and no interceptions, and has completed 85 percent of his passes. A freak athlete like Griffin may be just what Kansas City needs. Depending on the Chiefs season, they will have plenty of options to choose from. The 2012 draft is loaded with solid quarterbacks. If they do get the first overall, Andrew Luck is the No. 1 option. If they have a chance for a top-15 pick, Landry Jones would be the best option. The best overall quarterback in the 2012 NFL draft is Andrew Luck, but for the Chiefs to get him, they have to start competing for the worst record in the NFL. Let the Suck for Luck campaign begin, Chiefs fans. Edited by Jason Bennett

Freshman guard finds home and family at kansas

Kathleen gier
kgier@kansan.com
Freshman guard Asia Boyd was ranked No. 39 in the country by ESPN Hoopgurlz and was recruited by programs across the nation her senior year in high school. The Detroit native began her college search looking primarily for a family away from home. After nearly four years of recruiting throughout high school, Boyd found that family at Kansas. When you go far from home you expect to have the same feelings and you want to be comfortable where you are and Kansas offers that, Boyd said.
Boyd averaged 12 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals a game in high school. She led her high school team to two runners-up finishes her junior and senior years. She was given the Miss Detroit Public School League Award. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson was impressed by the size and length on the perimeter that the 6-foot guard had to offer. She compared Boyd to graduates Sade Morris and Danielle McCray who both played professionally after their time at Kansas. She is aggressive and with the length that she has she will be able to help us on defense and on the glass, Henrickson said.
Boyd was recruited by assistant coach Tory Verdi when he was on staff at the University of Nebraska and after he joined the Kansas staff. With his influence, she enters the program as the highest ranked recruit under Henrickson in her seven years with the program. Whenever you can get a top 100 recruit, it helps you win, Verdi said. It shows the country that we can bring some of the best players to the University of Kansas. Conversations with Henrickson gave Boyd the impression that Kansas was a place that she could become a more well-rounded person on and off the court. I could tell that she was looking at
me for more than a basketball player; a person outside of basketball that can represent Kansas in a positive way, Boyd said. Henrickson said creating that environment is important to studentathlete success. I care about these guys off the court and have close relationships with the families, Henrickson said. They take care of each other and we understand that no one goes through what they go through and they need to go through it together. In addition to her draw to the coaches, Boyd found the support she was looking for in her teammates. My teammates had a big influence on why I came here just because I
felt like we could become a family outside of basketball, Boyd said. For now, Boyd is taking her chances to go home on free weekends to spend time with her family and is looking forward to a visit from her father for Late Night in the Phog on Oct. 14. She expects big things from the team this year and hopes to reach the NCAA tournament. We know we have the potential, we just have to put forth the effort, Boyd said. The Jayhawks will start the season on Oct. 31 when they host Emporia State in an exhibition game. Edited by Jason Bennett

rowers oklahoma-bound to face top-tier teams

ELISE REuTER
editor@kansan.com This weekend, University rowers are headed up to Oklahoma City to measure their progress against several other top-tier schools. The Head of the Oklahoma Regatta hosts competitions between 40 teams, including Texas, who were the Big 12 Rowing Champions last year, Kansas State, Oklahoma City and Stanford. The competition is held Oct. 1-2 along the Oklahoma River. One event that sets it apart from all other regattas is night racing, where pyrotechnics and crowds of onlookers turn it into a spectators event. Last year, seniors Meaghan Oven and Nicole Schneider took first place in the womens open 2x500 meter petite final. It was fun to sprint in the smaller boat, which is something that Ive never done before. It was great to get that experience and get a win on top of it, Oven said. So far, head coach Rob Catloth has high expectations for the singles and doubles races. Last year at Oklahoma, several University women placed in the top 10 for the womens collegiate single. Catloths main goal for this race is to gain speed in the womens collegiate eight. Since its early in the season, the
Kansas' First Varsity eight competes in the final race of the Kansas cup Saturday morning. The First Varsity eight completed the race in 7:00.5 which was five seconds slower than Kansas State's First Varsity eight. The loss in the final race gave the Kansas cup to Kansas State. The rowing Kansas cup series is now tied 7-7. regatta serves as more of a benchmark for the team. So far, there have only been three full weeks of practice in preparation for the competition. Its more about getting ourselves out on the water and seeing where were at, Catloth said. We want to be able to compete with the other Big 12 schools, and perform at a top level this weekend. Long term, Catloth hopes to become fast enough to overtake Texas at the next Big 12 Championship. Our goal is to catch Texas in the Big 12, Catloth said. We need to make our way up to being as fast at Texas and I think we have some women who can help us work up to that. The backbone of the team is seniors Paige Stephens and Kathryn Schoonover, who placed well in several events at Oklahoma last year. I think we have really great senior leadership right now. They have this consistency and the ability to just go out and go hard all the time, Catloth said. Some of the younger rowers show promise, too. Freshman Bailey Atkinson has several high school medals worth of experience behind her, and was named Sunflower State Games 2011 Athlete of the Year. With this combination of the young and the experienced, Catloth has high expectations for the future of the team. Theyre very cohesive as a team and working really, really hard this year. Were working to come out this fall at a really high level, so theyre training for that, Catloth said. Edited by Ben Chipman

ready for redemption after back-to-back losses

mAtt gAllOwAy
mgalloway@kansan.com The Kansas volleyball team heads back to Texas tomorrow for a contest between two teams hoping to stop the bleeding caused by conference play. The Jayhawks (11-3) will face Baylor (11-6) at 7 p.m. in Waco with both schools looking for their first win in Big 12 play. All three of the Jayhawks defeats this season have come against ranked opponents, including two losses to No. 8 Texas and No. 16 Iowa State within the last week. The team has not won a set since it swept DePaul on Sept. 17. Freshman outside hitter Sara McClinton has been sidelined after an injury on Sept. 10. If she cant go against Baylor, sophomore Catherine Carmichael is expected to see significant time at the position. Carmichael said it is important the team put the home loss to Iowa State on Wednesday behind them. When we face Baylor, we just have to come out and have confidence in ourselves, Carmichael said. We have to come out with a new mindset. Edited by Lindsey Deiter
Sophomore middle blocker caroline Jamroc and sophomore setter Kara Wehrs celebrate with the rest of their team after a kill in the second set of Wednesday night's game against Iowa State. Jamroc contributed nine kills and two blocked shots in the Jayhawks defeat. KU is now 11-3 for the season and 0-2 in big 12 play.

toughness and competitiveness, Long said. If you have a tough competitor at that quarterback position, people will follow that. Webbs toughness shows on the field, where he often is not afraid to take a hit or make a play that other quarterbacks may not. Pick said Webb once wrestled 305-pound offensive lineman Duane Zlatnik after Webb had beat him in a video game, and Zlatnik continued to talk smack about it. It just shows that he doesnt really care, hell go up against anybody, Pick said. Hell be going up against the a Texas Tech Red Raiders defense this Saturday that has not faced any truly threatening quarterback. With that said, the Red Raiders defense has only allowed an average of 184.3 passing yards in their first three games, an impressive number against anyone. The Red Raiders run a 4-2-5 style defense. The extra defensive back makes it more difficult to throw against than a regular 4-3 or 3-4 defense. But just as Webb has done before, hell have to overcome some adversity. Going from a freshman in high school who was thought to be too small to play the position, to a quarterback with passer rating numbers near the top of college football is an impressive feat, but not quite impressive enough for the kid who has always had his eyes set on this. Its been awesome. I worked really hard, I had a lot of good people in my corner, Webb said. Its cool to be here, but Ive got a lot more I want to accomplish. Edited by Jason Bennett

which ranked him 109th. This season, Webbs rating is 181.5, making him the fifth most efficient passer in the division. Along with tremendous in-game improvement this past season, Webb has done at Kansas what he had been wanting to do his whole life lead. His execution, hes making better reads and hes looking down the field, and is more accurate by far, Beshears said. He just stepped up as a leader, I think thats the biggest improvement, him stepping up as a leader. Offensive coordinator Chuck Long has seen what sets Webb apart from some of the other Division 1 quarterbacks who also work hard during the offseason. Ive said this from day one; he has two very important, crucial traits to be successful and thats

eight and 28 yards, respectively, the first leading to a touchdown drive. The 28-yard catch came on a spectacular tiptoeing effort on the sidelines. With two Yellow Jackets closing in on him, Biere went from steamroller to Swan Lake, twisting and turning all of his 250 pounds in mid-air like a ballerina to keep the drive alive. Few Jayhawk fans who attended last years season opener against North Dakota State could have imagined this kind of raw athleticism and ability to catch a spectacular pass from Biere. In that infamous 6-3 loss to the Bison, Biere had three drops, all on third down plays. In only three games this season, the senior has eight receptions for 94 yards, almost half of his total output from his junior year. Interestingly enough, another argument for including Biere more in the passing attack is who he was before he became a Jayhawk. Rivals.com listed Biere as the 19th-best tight end recruit
in the country when he was wooed by former coach Mark Mangino. The Omaha native chose Kansas over Nebraska and was projected to be an impact player for years to come. With only 48 receptions and four touchdowns in his career, that impact has only been seen through flashes of brilliance. But his size alone makes him one of the few current Jayhawks that could get a flier from an NFL team after he graduates. That alone should warrant more defensive respect, especially in the red zone. In one of his excruciatingly repetitive lines in Madden 12, color commentator Cris Collinsworth says tight ends are like pacifiers for babies. While quarterback Jordan Webb has exceeded all expectations so far this season, he is still a sophomore. Instead of yanking Webb a dozen times per game for predictable Wildcat formations, the coaching staff should draw up more plays for the tight end. Edited by Lindsey Deiter

Shared lead at Dunhill Links Championship

AssociAted Press
Former British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen put himself in contention for another memorable victory at St. Andrews, taking a share of the lead Thursday after the first round of the Dunhill Links Championship. The South African shot a 6-under 66 in excellent conditions at Kingsbarns, joining Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Markus Brier and Michael Hoey at the top of the leaderboard. The tournament ends Sunday at St. Andrews, the scene of Oosthuizens sensational seven-shot win in the 2010 British Open. Theres nothing better than holding the claret jug at St. Andrews, Oosthuizen said. Hopefully, at the end of the week, its a different trophy. That would be special. Former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell was one of six players a stroke behind after shooting a 67 at Kingsbarns, where top-ranked Luke Donald had a 69 on one of three courses at the $5 million event. Fifth-ranked Dustin Johnson, the top American in the field, was five shots back at 71, while U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy shot 72. Each member of the 178-man field will play all three par-72 courses over the first three days of the pro-am. Kingsbarns hosted the high-profile contenders and had most of the low scoring on Thursday. Seven of the top 10 on the leaderboard played their first rounds there, with Brier and Hoey (St. Andrews) and Scotlands Marc Warren (5 under at Carnoustie) the only players to make a serious mark elsewhere. Oosthuizen missed last years Dunhill Links and with it a return to St. Andrews two months after his first major win because of an ankle injury. He made seven birdies in his round after starting on No. 10 with his brother Rikus as a playing partner. I didnt watch (the Dunhill Links) on TV last year because I was too upset that I wasnt there, said Oosthuizen, whose sole victory this year came at the Africa Open. But its been nice to come back here and experience everything again. With the weather like this, you should take advantage of it. You never know whats round the corner here. Cabrera-Bello squandered the chance to take the outright lead at 7 under by bogeying the last hole. The 27-year-old Spaniard rolled in six birdies and had an eagle at the par-5 No. 3. After getting advice from former coach Clive Tucker, a refreshed McDowell returned from three weeks off to make four birdies and an eagle at Kingsbarns. He had a doublebogey 6 at No. 12, his third hole. Second-ranked Lee Westwood, Colin Montgomerie, Padraig Harrington and former amateur star Tom Lewis were among the 11 players at 4 under. Donald is aiming for his fifth victory this year and improve his standing at the top of the European Tour money list. Aside from a bogey at No. 7, where he three-putted for the first time since the British Open in July, Donald was error-free. He had three birdies in five holes after the turn, just when the wind started to pick up off the North Sea in the early afternoon.

Jhonattan Vegas and William McGirt shot career-best 8-under 63s on Thursday to share the first-round lead in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Vegas, the Venezuelan rookie who won the Bob Hope Classic in January for his first PGA Tour title, had 10 birdies and two bogeys at TPC Summerlin in the first of four Fall Series events. McGirt, also a PGA Tour rookie, had eight birdies in a bogey-free round. Vegas, playing in hot afternoon conditions, birdied the par-4 15th and par-5 16th to reach 8 under, dropped a stroke on the par-3 17th and closed with a birdie on the par-4 18th to get back to 8 under. I feel like Im hitting the ball absolutely great, which is something fun to do, Vegas said. But the main thing was I made a lot of putts today. The two greens I missed today, I missed by probably half an inch. And just putting from the fringe I threeputted both times, which was kind of ironic. Its just golf. It is what it is. You have to stay positive, and the more positive you can be the better youll be out there. McGirt, playing in one of the last groups of the day, made seven birdies in a 10-hole stretch from Nos. 7 to 16, then parred the final two holes to match Vegas at 8 under. I really didnt set a number, McGirt said. I was just trying to make as many birdies as I could. Thursday through Saturday, all youre doing is jockeying for position so that you can make a move on Sunday. I knew there was a 7 under posted (by Green) before I even teed off. So you knew it was out there, and it was just a matter of staying aggressive and making some putts. Green, the leader until Vegas overtook him in the final hour, made seven birdies. The Australian won the 2009 Canadian Open for his lone PGA Tour title Just no mistakes, which was nice, Green said. No bogeys, which was pretty unusual. I didnt hit it overly close. It was just one of those steady rounds where I just managed to pick up; theres probably three or four sort of unexpected birdies out there. Jonathan Byrd, the winner last year when he made a hole-in-one on the fourth hole of a playoff with Martin Laird and Cameron Percy, opened with a 71.

Team focused for Big 12 games

RyAN mCCARtHy
rmccarthy@kansan.com After a brief break from conference play last Sunday against Oral Roberts, the Kansas soccer team jumps into the heart of the Big 12 schedule this weekend. Both Texas (7-3) and No. 24 ranked Texas A&M (8-4) will come to Lawrence on Friday and Sunday, and even though these are wellknown conference opponents, it can be a double-edged sword. Theres a familiarity there, but they are familiar with you too, so theres a flip side, coach Mark Francis said. In order for the Jayhawks to be successful this weekend they realize consistency throughout their formation is important. We have to play a balanced game, Francis said. Weve obviously got to do a good job of defending their attacking players, and I think take advantage of the opportunities we have at the other end. Francis also pointed out that the game against the Longhorns might be a battle of wills with limited scoring. I dont think there will be a ton of opportunities for either team, he said. I think its going to be who makes the most out of the chances they get. Freshman defender Caroline Van Slambrouck, a Texas native, played club soccer against several of the players on both the Longhorns and Aggies. Her defensive awareness along with her teammates are crucial parts to the teams chemistry. We need to stay focused and we need to make sure were always communicating and reading each other really well, Van Slambrouck said. I think if we do that, and we do what weve been working on in practice than well get a good result. During this week of practice Kansas (7-4) also made some alterations with the girls positioning on the field that will be on display this weekend. Were at that point where we need to adjust a little bit, Francis said. Practice has been good so I think its paying off so well see how it goes. The other part of this modification will also include the Jayhawks offensive attack to continue to provide goals. So far this season, Kansas has

In high school, Fletcher was announced as her teams MVP three years in a row. been effective with 26 goals in 11 games, but the emphasis is still there to keep playing at a high level. Sophomore forward Caroline Kastor understands she is one of the key players to make this happen. Just playing my role well and taking people on and creating a lot of dangerous opportunities and really looking to be a distributor on the outside, she said. In particular, the Jayhawks scoring will be necessary in the second game of the weekend with Texas A&M coming in Sunday. Currently the Aggies have scored 47 goals through 12 games, the most in the NCAA. Still, Kansas enjoys this time of the year because playing Big 12 teams is why they put on the Jayhawk uniform. This is what weve been waiting for, sophomore midfielder Amy Grow said. The non-conference games are important, but this is what we play for. Edited by Josh Kantor

42-38, texas a&M

officially introduced as the newest member of the SEC this week, the aggies begin their big 12 farewell tour against and old Southwest Conference and future SEC rival, the Razorbacks. both teams are statistically identical, but the x-factor will be aggies running back Cyrus Gray, who only rushed for 35 yards on 13 carries last week. Expect lots of passing from both teams, but whoever can establish the run will win the game.
34-24, texas a&M

both teams suffered tough losses to top-10 teams, but a&M is the more complete team. arkansas is weaker on defense and the aggies will not let another collapse happen again.
34-27, texas a&M

texas a&Ms defense held one of the best offenses in the nation to 30 points. Seniors Ryan tannehill and Cyrus Gray wont let the aggies fall out of contention for a bCS bowl birth four weeks into the season. the aggies will come out firing trying to prove that will be more than just a doormat once they join the SEC.
31-28, arkansas
the Razorbacks will welcome a&M to SEC country, by giving them a taste of what life on the road in the SEC will be like. Junior quarterback tyler Wilson has been tearing opposing defenses up and after seeing what brandon Weeden did to the aggies, Wilson should be licking his chops getting ready to face the aggies defense.

Robert Griffin III is good. He is really good. Griffin III has thrown more touchdowns than incompletions so far this season, but dont expect that statistic to remain. the Heisman trophy candidate is competing against a Wildcats team that has been impressive defensively, allowing only 246.3 yards per game, which is sixth in the nation. the Wildcats have not seen a quarterback as prolific as Griffin III, and if Griffin III shines again, the bears will remain undefeated.
37-17, baylor
Kansas State had a huge win against Miami (Fl) on the road, but they gave up a season high 411 total yards. Robert Griffin III threw for a career high 404 yards last october against the Wildcats. RGIII will lead the bears to a comfortable win in Manhattan.
38-24, baylor
the Kansas State defense has been one of the best in the nation, but they wont be able to contain baylors Robert Griffin III. Griffin and the bears will add their first signature win on the road as Griffin maintains his position as the front-runner for the Heisman trophy. the Kansas State offense wont be able to keep up.
35-28, baylor
the Wildcats are buzzing after defeating Miami last week, but baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III is just too good to lose. He has thrown one more touchdown pass than incompletions. Kansas State has not yet faced a team that has a legitimate passing threat, and will not be ready to face Griffin and the bears.

27-10, texas
the Cyclones have recorded victories against Iowa and Connecticut this season, but texas stampedes into ames for payback after being embarrassed by the Cyclones last season. Since the Case McCoy and David ash tandem took over for Garrett Gilbert, the longhorns seem revitalized. Expect the longhorns to rely on running back Malcolm brown to sustain offensive adequacy. texas is too talented to lose this game.
24-21, texas
texas lost to Iowa State last year that started the decline to a dismal season. this year, the Cyclones are barely outscoring their opponents, 88-80. ISUs Jantz threw three interceptions last weekend and texas has five picks through three games. texas squeaks by with a tough road win.
24-21, texas
Iowa State quarterback Steele Jantz will pull out another gritty performance and lead a game winning drive that will give the Cyclones their second consecutive win over texas and propel them into the top 25.
24-17, Iowa State

texas rotates two young quarterbacks who will be thrown into an environment in aimes that will be rocking. the 3-0 Cyclones are coming off back-to-back wins over Iowa and Connecticut that have raised eyebrows. theyll do that once again when they start 4-0 and beat texas.
Saturday, October 1

41-21, Wisconsin
Embarking on their first season in the big ten, the Cornhuskers open conference play in Madison against the badgers. New badgers quarterback Russell Wilson and the rest of the offense has played phenomenally thus far. the badgers offensive attack might be the toughest test the Cornhuskers black-shirt defense will face this season. taylor Martinez is still developing as a quarterback, and the badgers defense has been stifling, yielding only 8.5 points per game.
35-21, Wisconsin
bYU keeps it close for most of the game a week after upsetting ole Miss in oxford, learns that austin is a whole different animal. Malcolm brown and the texas runners show off their stuff, tearing apart the worn down Cougars defense in the second half. Garrett Gilbert holds onto his job as texas starting Qb, at least till big 12 play rolls around.
31-23, Wisconsin
the running back combination of Montee ball and James White will run down the Nebraska defense and open up the passing game for their Heisman candidate quarterback Russell Wilson. a late interception by tyler Martinez will end the Nebraska comeback bid.
38-31, Wisconsin
Madison will be ready to Jump around this Saturday, with ESPN Gameday coming to town. Wisconsin has the eighth best offense in the country, as their always strong running game is now paired with a passing attack that ranks 30th in the country. Nebraskas first game in big 10 country wont go well, as Wisconsins offense is just to much for the Cornhuskers to handle.
