Students cursed, screamed at,
spit on, threw eggs at and chucked
Bibles toward two men who spoke
on Wescoe Beach Wednesday with
a message that homosexuals, Jews,
Muslims, people who masturbate
and people who listen to rap or
rock and roll music are going to
hell.
More than one thousand stu-
dents gathered around Michael
Venyah and Chris Lemieux on
Wescoe Beach at the height of the
disagreement. The two men, both
in their 30s, wore red T-shirts with
yellow writing that said No Homos
go to Heaven -1 Corinthians 6:9-
10 on the front and All Homos go
to Hell -Corinthians 6:9-10 on the
back. Lemieux said the two men
from Michigan had been preaching
at colleges for two years.
Students stood shoulder-to-
shoulder, filling the front steps and
the patio of Wescoe Beach. Most
laughed at Venyahs remarks or
yelled back at him. Several times
the chant Lets love, not hate
echoed through the crowd. Several
students said they had missed class
to see the protest.
At one point two women broke
from the crowd and ground against
one another and against Venyah
as he spoke. A few students waved
condoms and hot dogs in his face,
others held signs in front of him,
blocking his view of the crowd.
People in the crowd held signs with
things like God hates Books and
I ate chili for lunch written on
them. Venyah was constantly sur-
rounded by students asking him
questions or trying to disrupt his
message.
The men began speaking about
10:30 Wednesday morning and
stayed until 3:30 in the afternoon.
Some of the things Venyah said
included, Tupac and Biggie Smalls
are in hell, and You people dont
obey Christ, you obey your lust.
Sarcastic shouts from students
could be heard throughout the
crowd. One student yelled, Were
all going to hell and then were all
going to Disneyland!
Cameron Baraban, Overland
Park freshman squirted ketchup
packets on Venyahs shirt as he
spoke. Anything to deface the lie
thats on his shirt, he said. His
message is driven by hate.
Lemieux, who video taped
Venyah, but didnt preach him-
self, said they were with a group
called Soulwinners Ministries
International. According to the
groups Web site, Venyah founded
the group with his wife Tamika
in 2004. Lemieux said she usually
preached too, but couldnt be there
yesterday.
This is our job, Lemieux said.
He said God provided for them as
they preached their message at col-
leges across the country.
Liney Pugh, Washington, D.C.,
freshman said, I think its really
wrong to preach hate like they do.
Pugh and another girl approached
Venyah together and kissed just to
piss him off. She said Venyah then
called her a whoremonger.

Preacher enrages students
Religious speeches damning homosexuals elicit angry, mocking reactions
By dAvid linhArdt
Justin Logan plans to get some
quality sleep this week. He spent
much of the past week wide-awake
and highly caffienated at a design
lab in Learned Hall.
Logan, Coffeyville senior, and
his friend Kevin Wiedenmann,
Olathe senior, brought several
cases of Red Bull energy drink
to the design lab as the weekend
began. Logan and Wiedenmann
consumed six and nine Red Bulls
respectively in one night.
Like many of their classmates,
the two KU aerospace engineering
majors work for days at a time on
some design projects. The secret
to making it through is calculated
caffeine consumption.
Caffeine kicks it up a notch so
we can get it in, Logan said about
class projects. You cant really
physically do it without caffeine.
Young people consume more
caffeine now than ever before, and
that consumption may force some
into hospital emergency rooms,
according to a study released
this month by researchers at
Northwestern University.
Using call data from the Illinois
Poison Center, researchers found
that 68 percent of emergency poi-
soning cases stemmed from caf-
feine abuse. Victims suffered from
chest pains and heart palpitations,
according to the study.
A person drinking three or four
cups of coffee per day will consume
about 300-400 milligrams of caf-
feine, a moderate and safe amount,
said Ann Chapman, coordinator
of nutrition services at Watkins
Memorial Health Center.
Drinkers will begin to experi-
ence side effects if they consume
more than the moderate amount.
Larger amounts of caffeine can
cause headaches, restlessness and
irritability. For people sensitive to
caffeine, the effects can become
dangerous, according to the
Northwestern University study.
Many people dont know how
much caffeine they actually con-
sume each day. For example, a
16 oz. cup of coffee at Starbucks
can have up to 372 milligrams of
caffeine in it. Drinking two cups
per day puts caffeine consumption
levels far above what is gener-
ally regarded as safe, according to
Chapman and other researchers.
A can of Red Bull contains
about 80 milligrams of caffeine.

anthrax vaccine moves
to second testing stage
By AnnA FAltErmEiEr
An anthrax vaccine developed by
three KU researchers is in its second
stage of clinical testing.
The vaccine is a stabilized liquid
form of the current anthrax vaccine,
which is difficult to transport and
store because its temperature must
remain constant. Duane Brandau,
Sangeeta Joshi and Laura Peek, KU
research professors, developed a
stabilized liquid form of the vac-
cine and sent it to a laboratory that
converted their vaccine to a pow-
der form. Then the vaccine went
to its first of up to four stages of
clinical testing. The powder vaccine
doesnt have such specific conditons
for storage, making it easier to trans-
port. It is administered through an
inhaler or a nasal spray. The current
vaccine is a liquid and administered
by injection.
The University of Kansas has a
responsibility to address this public
health risk, said Kevin Boatright,
director of research communica-
tions. KU is in a good position to
develop that kind of vaccine.

Six University of Kansas students
were given sobriety tests inside the
Lied Center Wednesday night.
The greek community held its
annual Check Yourself Before You
Wreck Yourself alcohol prevention
event and used the six students to
demonstrate the effects of being
intoxicated.
The six individuals were taxied
to the Lied Center after having two,
four, or six beers or mixed drinks.
Those students, along with a few
sober participants, were then given a
sobriety test by the KU Public Safety
Office to demonstrate the effects of
alcohol.
This has been one of the most
far-reaching alcohol events that the
University has had or seen, said
Sampson Yimer, Lawrence senior
and Interfraternity Council vice-
president of risk management.
This is the fifth year the greek
community has played host to the
prevention event, and a number
of changes were made this year,
said Katie Melcher, Lenexa senior
and member of the Panhellenic
Association.
This years location was the biggest
change. The Lied Center provided a
larger space for
student capacity
than Budig Hall.
Also for the
first time, the
program was
open to the entire
student popula-
tion rather than
exclusively to the
greek commu-
nity.
The event
was also spon-
sored by the KU Public Office,
Legal Services for Students, the
Department of Student Housing,
the Athletics Department, Student
Union Activities, Student Senate and
the greek community.
All members of the greek com-
munity were encouraged to attend
the event and the Panhellenic
Association required its new pledge
members to be in attendance.
A lot of the time it is amusing,
Yimer said. But the point were try-
ing to hammer home is the seri-
ous dangers
involved.
He said the
event was spe-
cifically put
together not
to come across
as just another
alcohol preven-
tion lecture.
I got dragged
here by a buddy
of mine, Rich
Davis, St. Louis
senior, said. But it was much bet-
ter than any other alcohol class or
lecture Ive ever had because it was
actually interesting.
Legal Services for Students also
spoke about the repercussions and
costs of alcohol-related crimes such
as driving under the influence and
minors in possession.
Early Wednesday afternoon, the
Health Hut from Watkins Health
Center also informed students pass-
ing by Wescoe Beach about alco-
hol awareness as part of the Check
Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself
event. Students were given goggles
that simulated being intoxicated and
attempted to ride a tricycle around
an obstacle course.
It gives them the experience
of being under the influence while
theyre not intoxicated, said Angela
Badger, Topeka graduate student
and member of the Watkins peer
education program. Even though
you might not realize it when youre
drunk, this is what its like.

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. apparently
has no place in paradise.
The worlds largest retailer won
preliminary approval on Tuesday
to build a store in Cabo San Lucas
after an almost two-year battle, but
opponents vow to continue fighting
the project with demonstrations or
by blocking roads.
The Los Cabos city council voted
unanimously to give conditional
approval for the store, requiring it
to be nonintrusive, pass environ-
mental studies and not excessively
affect traffic in this fishing and
resort town of about 80,000 at the
tip of the Baja California peninsula.
Residents and shopkeepers,
however, fear that the store first
proposed, and rejected, at a site
near the middle of the city could
harm the resort towns laid-back
atmosphere, where sports fisher-
men and tourists mingle with locals
on the narrow streets.
Some are also worried that the
store, or a proposed highway over-
pass for it, might replace the trade-
mark stone sea arch as the first view
people have when they drive into
the city.
If we have to hold demonstra-
tions, well do it, and if it comes to
that, block some of the access roads
to Cabo San Lucas, said Sebastian
Alvarez, leader of The Union of
Organized Businesses, a group of
350 small shopkeepers.
We are very angry that theyre
favoring such a big company, with-
out realizing that this is going to
affect the people who live here,
the small businesses, in a big way,
Alvarez said. The economic impact
is going to be fatal, and that has
been proven in many parts of the
world.
Mayor Luis Armando Diaz, who
governs both Cabo San Lucas and
its twin city, San Jose del Cabo, said
he believes the city council acted
correctly in voting to give prelimi-
nary approval.
But Diaz also said Wal-Mart may
have to build highway overpass at
the new site to handle the increased
traffic, which could interfere with
some views of the stone arch, a rock
formation that reaches into sea.
Officials of Wal-Marts Mexico
subsidiary did not immediately
respond to requests for comment.
There are already Home Depot
and CostCo outlets on the same
highway near the proposed site,
but neither has an overpass and
its unclear whether the Wal-Mart
store would be larger than those
stores.

For students like Logan and
Wiedenmann, drinking eight or nine
Red Bulls in a night provides 640-720
milligrams.
Popular energy drinks like
Starbucks Double Shot contain 130
milligrams, while Sobes No Fear
contains 166 milligrams, according
to data collected by Energyfiend.
com.
Coca-Colas Full Throttle bever-
age contains about 145 milligrams.
Coca-Cola has a contract with the
University of Kansas allowing it to
distribute its products without com-
petition at the University.
Dont give up on Starbucks quite
yet, though. Even for occasional
heavy consumers like Logan and
Wiedenmann, coffee and caffeine
can have positive effects, too.
Coffee is full of antioxidants,
and it could help reduce gallstones
and Parkinsons Disease symptoms,
Chapman said. It could even help
with memory problems.
If you get up and have coffee
before a quiz, youll likely feel more
alert, Chapman.
Though caffeine is a stimulant,
it leaves the bloodstream quickly.
According to the World Health
Organization, there is no evidence
that links caffeine consumption to
addiction, Chapman said.
Logan and Wiedenmann dont
worry much about occasional caf-
feine binges. The main concern for
the two is the airplane design class
that forces them to stay up for days
at a time. They often dont even leave
the room. Sometimes Wiedenmann
catches a quick nap on a wooden box
with a sandbag as a pillow.
Logan said they had finished
one massive report and that the
next one was due the Monday after
Thanksgiving break. Then it might
be time to make another Red Bull
run.
Youre awake to a certain extent
but maybe not completely coherent
during the rush to finish a report,
Logan said. Its like having finals
week for 15 weeks.

SEOUL, South Korea North
Korea warned South Korea against
joining international sanctions,
saying Wednesday that its neigh-
bor would pay a high price if it
joins the U.S.-led drive to punish
the reclusive communist nation for
its nuclear test.
The statement from the Norths
Committee for the Peaceful
Reunification of the Fatherland
came as South Korea struggles to
determine how it should enforce
the U.N. sanctions, including
whether to help interdict North
Korean cargo ships suspected of
transporting materials for uncon-
ventional weapons.
If the South Korean authori-
ties end up joining U.S.-led moves
to sanction and stifle (the North)
we will regard it as a declaration
of confrontation against its own
people ... and take corresponding
measures, the Norths Committee
for the Peaceful Reunification of
the Fatherland said in a statement.
President Bush dismissed North
Koreas threats, saying leader Kim
Jong Il was probing for weakness-
es.
The leader of North Korea
likes to threaten, Bush told report-
ers in Washington. In my judg-
ment, what hes doing is testing the
will of the five countries that are
working together to convince him
theres a better way forward for his
people.
The U.N. Security Council
unanimously adopted a sanc-
tions resolution five days after the
Norths Oct. 9 test, and a South
Korean task force met this week to
determine how the country should
address the measures.
South Koreas participation
in the sanctioning the North is
important because the country
is one of the main aid providers
to the impoverished communist
nation, along with China.

DODGE CITY, Kan. Dodge
City has a rich history as an Old
West frontier town, where cowboys
and gunslingers could take a break
from the trail and get their fill of
saloons and brothels.
Today, the tidy town that was built
on meatpacking and rodeos once
again is facing off with gunfighters.
But this time its street gangs, some
with second-generation members as
young as 11, whose drug of choice is
methamphetamine and whose weap-
ons range from automatic rifles to
baseball bats.
When it was old Dodge City, it
was cowboys coming off the range
and ending up in Dodge and raising
hell and letting things go, said John
Ball, Dodge City chief of police.
This is entirely different. There is
no comparison.
A gang member was hospitalized
Tuesday after being hit in the leg in a
gang-related drive-by shooting, Ball
said. The injury wasnt life-threaten-
ing.
Street gangs, often thought of as a
big-city problem, have been turning
up in rural areas across the country
since the 1980s, frightening resi-
dents and straining manpower and
budgets of the smaller law enforce-
ment departments. Rural gangs are
often more transitory than their
urban counterparts, but they appear
to have a foothold in several rural
communities.
About 24,000 gangs operate
around the country, according to the
U.S. Department of Justice, which
estimates there are about 760,000
members, impacting 2,900 com-
munities. Most gangs are in major
cities.
But in the 2004 Youth Gang
Survey conducted by the Justice
Department, 82 percent of large cit-
ies surveyed, 42 percent of suburban
counties, 27 percent of smaller cities
and 14 percent of rural counties
reported active youth gangs.
A 2005 study from the University
of South Carolina showed 37 per-
cent of towns surveyed in that state
with populations of 10,000 or less
reported gang activity.

One of the biggest problems fac-
ing rural Kansas counties is keeping
people in them.
A conference at the Big 12 Room
in the Kansas Union today will
address that problem, and look for
a way to make government adapt
and economies strengthen.
Analysts, researchers and poli-
ticians will discuss the future of
Kansas economic and political pol-
icy while reviewing data and infor-
mation concerning population fluc-
tuation, decline and aging in Kansas.
Keynote speakers include Suzanne
Leland, associate professor of politi-
cal science at the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte, and Rep. Doug
Mays (R-Topeka), Speaker of the
Kansas House of Representatives.
In 2000, according to the U.S.
Census Bureau, Grant County
one of the largest counties in south-
west Kansas had a population of
at about 7,900. The 2005 estimate
had only 7,530 people, most of them
living in the county seat of Ulysses,
Pop. 6,000. The case is the same in
many rural counties.
Joshua Rosenbloom, professor of
economics, said that most counties
in the State of Kansas had a popula-
tion less than 7,500 and that virtu-
ally all of those counties were losing
population.
Some of these places are going to
vanish, Rosenbloom said. People
are going away and there isnt a very
big population base to begin with.
Most of those leaving these rural
counties are still working while
those staying are likely retired,
Rosenbloom said.
The economy stagnates and
it becomes more unattractive for
people who live there, Rosenbloom
said.
Rosenbloom said the goal was to
explore reshaping the local govern-
ment landscape through city and
county consolidation.
The conference is from 8:30 a.m.
to 3:45 p.m. Tickets are $85. Call
864-3701 for more information.

Third times a charm for David
Vertacnik.
After applying for the Lawrence
Percent for Art program twice
before, the associate professor of
ceramics never imagined he might
get the opportunity to provide an
original art piece for the new fire
station on Wakarusa Dr.
Im a farm boy, Vertacnik said.
The body and nature of my work
shows a relationship to the land;
it has a connectedness. This piece
of work I am working on typifies
that. Id be honored to have it here
in Lawrence.
When Vertacnik first began his
career as a professor, he did not
have much time to create a lot of
work for his art portfolio.
I guess I didnt have the luxury
to really venture out on my own.
But, as my studio grew here, I was
given the opportunity to work on
bigger projects. I have always been
interested in large-scale art, espe-
cially in the public, he said.
When the city builds a new
municipal building, the Percent for
Art program in Lawrence requires
up to two percent of the money
it takes to construct the build-
ing to be set aside for art. This
money supports an artist to design
and construct artwork to accom-
pany the building. Percent for Art
received about 40 applicants from
around the country for its newest
project: the Wakarusa fire station.
The Lawrence Arts Commission
makes the final selection.
The Percent for Art committee
narrowed the selection down at
the end of September. The three
artists are now busy creating their
proposals for presentation.
We are very fortunate in
Lawrence to have such a success-
ful Percent for Art program, Liz
Kowalchuk, co-chair of the Percent
for Art committee and Lawrence
arts commissioner, said. About
$38,000 is available for this proj-
ect.
An artist will be chosen Dec. 1.
The evaluation will include a pre-
sentation of each artists proposal
and a model of the artwork. It
will also include a question-and-
answer session.
Rich Barr of Lawrence-Douglas
County Fire and Medical said, I
think our local society really enjoys
art. For the new station, not only
will it be art, it will also represent
a profession,
Julee Kessinger, Overland Park
senior, has taken two ceramics
classes from Vertacnik.
He was amazing. He loves his
work and cares a lot about the suc-
cess of his students. I think this is a
great opportunity for him to show
off his talent, Kessinger said.

Russ Middaugh, distinguished
professor of pharmaceutical chem-
istry, is in charge of the laboratory
that began developing the vaccine
in 2002. He said the goal was for
the vaccine to be able to be stored at
various places around the country
and quickly sent to people in case
of a bioterrorism attack.
According to the Food and Drug
Administration, only one form of
the anthrax vaccine is licensed in
the United States but several are
being tested. Middaugh said if the
vaccine developed at the University
was approved it would probably be
after four to six years. I think it has
a good chance of working, he said.
Middaugh said the forms being
tested all differed from one another.
Anthrax is a bacterium and people
use different pieces of the bacte-
rium to make a vaccine, Middaugh
said. They also use different deliv-
ery methods.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention,
in the event of a bio-terrorist attack
using anthrax the people exposed
would receive the current anthrax
vaccine.
Middaughs laboratories special-
ize in stabilizing vaccines. They sta-
bilized a form of the ricin vaccine,
which just completed its first stage
of clinical testing. Currently theyre
working to stabilize the measles
vaccine.
Middaugh said he didnt think
about whether the anthrax vaccine
would be approved in clinical tri-
als. Weve learned with time that
we cant predict.

Lemieux said he thought they
had converted 30-40 people to
Christianity during the two years
they had been preaching at colleges.
He said he believed homosexuals
were harming Jesus Christ by sin-
ning against him.
Most homosexuals dont believe
what theyre doing is a sin and most
people in society dont believe homo-
sexuality is a sin, Lemieux said. He
said telling people they were going
to hell helped them to develop a fear
of the Lord.
Lemieux said someone preached
to him and told him he was going to
hell, turning him into a Christian.
Renee Burnett, a Kansas City,
Kan., junior who is bisexual, said she
thought the idea that God wanted
homosexuals to burn in hell was
absolutely wrong. She stood across
from Venyah holding a rainbow flag
with several other students. I came
here to stand up for the people I
love, she said.
Spencer Davidson, Linwood
freshman, is a Christian. He said
he disagreed with Venyah and
Lemeieuxs message, but he also dis-
agreed with KU students response
to the men.
Theyre giving him what he
wants by making this into a big
event, Davidson said. By calling
him things like a bigoted asshole,
theyre not countering his argu-
ment at all and its not doing any-
thing to help the Christian com-
munity or to help people reach
Christ.

WASHINGTON An aide to
House Speaker Dennis Hastert on
Wednesday went before ethics inves-
tigators in private to explain how
the office handled complaints about
former Rep. Mark Foleys behavior
toward former pages.
Ted Van Der Meid, who over-
saw the page program for Hastert,
R-Ill., appears to be one of the last
witnesses. The House ethics panel
is investigating whether lawmakers
and staff aides acted properly when
learning of Foleys too-friendly mes-
sages to ex-pages and other possible
inappropriate behavior.
The panel is in its third week
of hearing testimony and seems
unlikely to complete its probe before
the Nov. 7 elections.
Van Der Meid was a central fig-
ure in the handling of a complaint
last fall from a former page from
Louisiana. Hasterts office was alert-
ed to the over friendly e-mails
and dispatched then-Clerk of the
House Jeff Trandahl and Rep. John
Shimkus, R-Ill., to confront Foley,
R-Fla.
Former top Foley aide Kirk
Fordham has told the committee
that Hasterts chief of staff, Scott
Palmer, knew of earlier incidents
involving Foley.
Foley abruptly resigned Sept. 29
after being confronted with sexually
explicit e-mails sent in 2003 to a for-
mer page from Oklahoma.
No lawmaker has acknowledged
knowing of sexually graphic e-
mails. They surfaced only after news
broke that Foley last fall had sent a
too-friendly message to the former
Louisiana page. But a small group of
lawmakers and top GOP staff aides
have known for
years of inappro-
priate messages
and rumors of
bad behavior
by Foley toward
pages.
Rather than
i nve s t i gat i ng
Foley, the four-
member inves-
tigative panel
is trying to determine who knew
about his behavior toward pages
and whether more should have been
done to stop it.
Trandahl was appointed to the
clerks post with responsibility
over the page program a prominent
responsibility and was in frequent
contact with Hasterts office.
A key question for investigators
is who else knew
about Foley.
F o r d h a m s
account has
been disputed
by Palmer,
but Trandahl
r e p o r t e d l y
has backed
up Fordhams
story.
The panel
may want to know what Van Der
Meid knew about earlier incidents
regarding Foley.
For example, the panel has been
asked to look into rumors that
several years ago Foley tried to
enter the page dorm while drunk,
an incident that Fordham has testi-
fied about.
Trandahl and Rep. Jim Kolbe,
R-Ariz., learned in 2001 or 2002 of
an episode in which Foley sent an
ex-page inappropriate e-mails.
In those instances, Foleys
inappropriate behavior with for-
mer pages have been handled by
a few staff aides and lawmak-
ers, rather than being investigated
more fully. Foleys misbehavior
did not cease.
The panel heard Tuesday from
Hastert, who urged it to wrap up
its investigation quickly. He said he
answered questions to the best of
his ability, but his recollection differs
from other GOP leaders.

NEW YORK Human bones
unearthed at the World Trade
Center site in recent days are so well
preserved that they will yield usable
DNA, experts predicted Wednesday.
The remains found last week
after utility crews doing routine work
opened up a manhole that had been
paved over are believed to belong
to Sept. 11 trade center victims, 40
percent of whom have not had any
remains identified.
The collection has grown to more
than 130 pieces, including whole
bones, shards and one-inch splin-
ters.
However they got there, it was
certainly right at the time of the
event, so theyve been protected for
five years and havent been subjected
to weather, said Bradley Adams, the
city medical examiners lead forensic
anthropologist on site.
Bones buried with no exposure to
extreme temperatures tend to be bet-
ter preserved, said Ed Huffine, the
head scientist on the project at Bode
Technology Group, the Virginia
company handling Sept. 11 bone
fragments.
I would be very optimistic about
being able to obtain DNA profiles
from these cases, he said.
Families of victims with no identi-
fied remains said they felt conflicted
about the recent discoveries.
Obviously I want to know if they
find something, but on the other
hand it just opens it all back up
again, said Lynn Castrianno, whose
brother, Leonard, was killed.
The city has identified 12
underground areas that need to be
explored. All are along the western
edge of the site.

KU buses should better
accommodate disabled
Money matters more than votes
Common sense,
moderation keys
to a healthy diet
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
COMMENTARY OUR VIEW
Imagine being treated differ-
ently than the rest of the student
body, having to ride in a van to
classes and not getting to ride the
bus like other students.
Thats the problem students
with disabilities have when using
the LiftVans provided by KU on
Wheels, rather than an adequate
bus that can accommodate their
needs. Disabled students have
long been overlooked and its
time we pay attention to their
needs.
For years now, leaders from
AbleHawks have pleaded with
KU on Wheels to make changes
to the bus system, but their con-
cerns have not been addressed.
Obviously, just look at the buses
as they continue to spew black
fumes as they crawl through
campus.
Its unfair for students with
disabilities to be cast aside. That
does not constitute fair treat-
ment. KU on Wheels toes the
line when it comes to violating
the Americans with Disabilities
Act, which stipulates that pub-
lic transportation systems must
provide access to those with dis-
abilities. If not accessible, then
comparable transportation is
required.
The LiftVans provide an inad-
equate answer. Students dont
have the leisure to decide which
bus they will hop onto. They are
stuck with a fixed schedule.
Providing new buses that
adequately fit the needs of dis-
abled students could also provide
another solution, as they could
be an environmentally-friendly
form of transportation.
A $150,000 study is work-
ing on how KU on Wheels and
the citys public transportation
system can merge. The study has
received input from students, but
as it continues to move forward it
should especially listen to those
who have been forgotten. Its
time it listened to AbleHawks
leaders and other students with
disabilities. Its been way too long
since we listened to their needs.
Louis Mora for the editorial
board.
Its hard to tell whats actually
healthy for you to eat these days. As
soon as there is evidence of some-
thing having health benefits, the
media grabs hold of it and spins it
out of control.
After researchers found that
diets rich in whole grains reduced
incidence of heart disease, diabetes,
obesity and some forms of cancer,
every food company came out with
whole grain foods. There are now
whole grain cookies, goldfish, chips,
cereals and more.
This all sounds great, but how
healthy can they be? If you take a
closer look, the fine print often says
made with whole grain, or con-
tains whole grain, instead of being
a 100 percent whole grain product.
Some food manufacturers even
color their food to make it look
whole grain when its not. Unless
whole grain is the first ingredient
(whole wheat or rolled oats), the
product is not whole grain and you
arent going to benefit
Another confusing topic is fat.
Unsaturated fats are the good fats;
these include monounsaturated
and polyunsaturated, which can be
found in nuts, olive oil, avocados
and fish. Saturated and trans fats are
the enemy. While unsaturated fats
provide health benefits when eaten
in moderation (key word moder-
ation) and raise HDL (good choles-
terol), saturated and trans fats raise
cholesterol levels, which can lead to
heart disease in some cases.
Recently, there has been a trans
fat hype, and almost every type
of food containing fat now adver-
tises trans fat free or no trans
fat. Why the sudden change? On
Jan. 1, 2006, the Food and Drug
Administration required the listing
of all trans fat on nutrition labels.
Trans fats can be found when
food manufacturers add hydrogen
to vegetable oil, a process called
hydrogenation, to increase a prod-
ucts shelf life.
But when people see a food item
without fat, they think they can
eat a whole box of that product.
This doesnt mean it is calorie free.
Removing trans fats from your diet
can make you forget that foods
have calories, and when it comes to
obesity, the amount you eat is more
important that what you eat. Its bet-
ter to eat one brownie than a box
of trans-fat-free cookies because
one brownie contains fewer calories
than an entire box of trans-fat-free
or fat-free cookies.
There are no quick fixes, miracle
pills or diet secrets. When it comes
down to it, its all common sense.
Eat sensibly and in moderation. If
you dont deprive yourself, youll be
less likely to overindulge.

ence.
A recent letter to the editor
noted how the KU on Wheels buses
are accessible only to able-bodied
students. While I agree with this
point I must object to the descrip-
tion of the LiftVans as a kind of
consolation prize. Speaking as a
student who has had to use this ser-
vice, it is better than the KU buses.
Let me explain:
1. The LiftVans will pick you up
at your place of residence. The only
rule is that All rides must originate
and terminate within the city limits
of Lawrence.
2. LiftVans will take you any-
where on campus. There are cur-
rently no buses that stop at Watkins,
Spencer, JRP or Blake Hall and only
two buses that service Robinson,
Summerfield, Haworth, Computing
Services Facility and the Dole
Human Development Center.
3. The LiftVans are operated by
just a few drivers. When the same
two people drive you to all of your
classes, you get to know them pretty
well. With that, there is a possibility
that they will call you when youre
late instead of just driving off. The
same cannot be said for the buses.
As a student body, we should
be aware of those among us who
struggle to do what we take for
granted. We should lobby for buses
that are accessible to students with
disabilities. And we should support
the LiftVans as an alternative to the
sometimes overcrowded and unde-
pendable buses.

Your vote doesnt mean much
when weighed against $1.37 billion.
Every election season, I read edi-
torials and columns emphasizing the
importance of voting as your civic
duty. Student newspapers particu-
larly love this call to action. Vote! Or
youre a crappy American.
Id love to tell you how great the
democratic process is, how special
we are to elect our own leaders. But
I just dont have a lot of faith in that
process or its special-ness when I
think about it as a $1.37 billion
industry.
That figure is how much con-
gressional incumbents and hope-
fuls have collected so far during the
2005-06 campaign cycle, according
to figures from the Federal Elections
Commission. Thats not even the
end of it. The reports from the FEC
are only current to Sept. 30. The
millions raised in the final month of
furious campaigning arent included
in that total.
I couldnt find this figure any-
where by itself. I looked at campaign
finance for this column and started
adding the numbers up. I included
the money raised by every national
congressional candidate who raised
campaign contributions of more
than $1,000 in the last two years.
You never see much of the big
picture of campaign finances.
Newspapers love to contrast how
much this candidate raised versus
that one. Whos on top this week?
When you talk about the campaign
industry in big numbers, its depress-
ing.
For some context, thats more
than the combined wages of 40,000
Kansans, based on an average wage
of $33,844, according to the U.S.
Department of Labor.
It would also pay for a years
tuition at the University for more
than 241,000 students.
That still doesnt tell the scope of
how big this industry is. Individual
contributors and Political Action
Committees dump millions more
into races for governor, state legisla-
ture and local office.
Politics, the industry, doesnt care
about your vote. Phill Klines recent
church memo reveals that.
Get the pastor to invite 5 money
people, whom he knows can help,
Kline wrote in the memo, accord-
ing to the Lawrence Journal-World.
While Kline has been roundly criti-
cized for the religious orientation of
his efforts, his attitude isnt unique to
any politician or party. You just dont
usually get that blunt of a peek into a
candidates campaign thinking.
You are a check before you are a
vote or a constituent to any politi-
cian.
I wish my vote mattered, I real-
ly do. Ill vote, but when weighed
against the billion-dollar behemoth
that is our political landscape, I just
dont really think it will mean much.
I dont want to feel this cynical or
angry about politics. But I believe in
the power of money much more than
I believe in politicians promises.
My advice to those of you who
want to make a difference in politics:
Dont worry about your vote. Get
your education, the more the better.
Pile up the letters behind your name.
The more letters, the more money
youll make. Knock down a six- or
seven-figure salary. Better yet, start
the next YouTube. Then let your
money speak in place of your vote.
It might actually get the attention
of your politician. Itll definitely go
a hell of a lot further than just your
vote.

Harry Kenner, left, and JefDavis demonstrate in favor of the execution of Danny Rolling who
is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6pmWednesday, for the 1990 murder of fve University of
Florida students, at the Florida State Prison at Starke, Fla.
STARKE, Fla. Danny Harold
Rolling, Floridas most notorious
serial killer since Ted Bundy, was exe-
cuted by lethal injection Wednesday
for butchering five college students
in a ghastly string of slayings that
terrorized Gainesville in 1990.
Rolling, 52, was pronounced dead
at 6:13 p.m. EDT, more than 16 years
after his killing rampage at the start
of the University of Floridas fall
semester.
The bodies of his victims were
found over three days in late August,
just as the University of Floridas
fall semester was beginning. All had
been killed with a hunting knife.
Some had been mutilated, sexually
assaulted and put in shocking poses.
One girls severed head had been
placed on a shelf, her body posed as
if seated.
The killing spree touched off
a huge manhunt and plunged the
laid-back college town into panic.
Students fled and residents armed
themselves.
Belongings that Rolling left at a
campsite in the woods and DNA
taken after a later arrest for robbery
linked him to the slayings. When he
came up for trial in 1994, he shocked
the courtroom by pleading guilty.
There are some things you just
cant run from, this being one of
those, Rolling told the judge, who
later sentenced him to death.
The attention surrounding
Rollings impending execution
reopened old wounds in Gainesville
and for the families of the victims.
Dianna Hoyt, whose stepdaughter
was killed by Rolling and decapitat-
ed, planned to watch the execution
at Florida State Prison. This is a
tough thing, but is a necessary thing
to go through, she said, adding, It
is very hard for us to see someone
else die. But he deserves it.
The victims families ran an
advertisement Thursday in The
Gainesville Sun, thanking the com-
munity for its support: We hope
you will remember August 1990 and
the years that followed without any
sense of community shame for what
has happened here. You turned a
blemish into a rose.
More than 100 protesters gath-
ered near dozens of death penalty
supporters, curious onlookers and
journalists on the barren cow pas-
ture across from the prison, possibly
the largest turnout since Bundys
execution.
Bundy, suspected in the deaths
and disappearances of 36 women,
died in the electric chair in 1989 in
the same death chamber. The case
was still fresh in the minds of many
when Rollings killings began the fol-
lowing year in roughly the same area
as some of Bundys crimes.

AssOcIAtEd PrEss
TRENTON, N.J. New Jerseys
highest court opened the door
Wednesday to making the state the
second in the nation to allow gay
marriage, ruling that lawmakers
must offer same-sex couples either
marriage or something like it, such
as civil unions.
In a ruling that fell short of what
either side wanted or feared, the state
Supreme Court declared 4-3 that
gay couples are entitled to the same
rights as heterosexual ones. The jus-
tices gave lawmakers 180 days to
rewrite the laws.
The ruling is similar to the 1999
high-court ruling in Vermont that
led the state to create civil unions,
which confer all of the rights and
benefits available to married couples
under state law.
Although we cannot find that a
fundamental right to same-sex mar-
riage exists in this state, the unequal
dispensation of rights and benefits
to committed same-sex partners can
no longer be tolerated under our
state Constitution, Justice Barry T.
Albin wrote for the four-member
majority.
The court said the Legislature
must either amend the marriage
statutes to include same-sex couples
or create a parallel statutory struc-
ture that gives gays all the privileges
and obligations married couples
have.
The three dissenters argued that
the majority did not go far enough.
They demanded full marriage for
gays.
Gay rights activists had seen New
Jersey as a promising place because
it is a largely Democratic state in the
Northeast. The only state to allow
gay marriage is Massachusetts. The
only states allowing civil unions
are Vermont and Connecticut. New
Jersey is also one of just five states
that have no law or constitutional
amendment expressly banning gay
marriage.
If the court had legalized gay
marriage outright, the effect could
have been more far-reaching, and
New Jersey could have become more
of a magnet for gay couples than
Massachusetts, which has a law bar-
ring out-of-state couples from mar-
rying there if their marriages would
not be recognized in their home
states. New Jersey has no such law.
A clear-cut ruling legalizing gay
marriage this close to Election Day
could also have been a political
bombshell to arouse Republicans.
Eight states have gay marriage bans
on their November ballots.

Kansas dwindling bowl chances
took another serious hit Wednesday
with the news of another change at
quarterback.
Kerry Meiers
injured right
shoulder will not
be healed enough
for him to play
Saturday against
Colorado, coach
Mark Mangino
announced after
We d n e s d a y s
practice. That
means senior
Adam Barmann
will once again
be the starter for
the fourth time
in the last six
games.
Kerry cannot go, Mangino said.
Its just not functional.
Meier reinjured his right shoulder
in Saturdays loss at Baylor.
Mangino said Barmann had taken
the majority of snaps with the first-
team offense in practice the past
few days.
With Barmann back in the start-
ing lineup, Kansas offensive game
plan would seem to veer away from
the dual rushing attack of Meier
and running back Jon Cornish that
was so successful early in the Baylor
game.
Instead, Kansas will likely rely on
Cornish for more carries and limit
the passing from Barmann, which
was used early in the conference
season. The problem Kansas ran
into with that offense was Barmanns
continual struggle to hang on to
the football. In his three starts ear-
lier this season, Barmann had two
fumbles and four interceptions.
Mangino said the key this week
would be for the coaches to call plays
based on Barmanns strengths.
I feel good about Adam,
Mangino said. He knows the
offense, makes a lot of good plays.
Mentally, he understands the game
plans very well because hes a veteran
guy. We think hell do well.
Barmann struggled in limited
action against Baylor last week. He
never seemed to get into a rhythm
and was unable to help the offense
mount a scoring drive to preserve
the Jayhawks lead. He was only 4-of-
10 for 25 yards with an interception
in four possessions.
In five games this season,
Barmann has completed 53 percent
of his passes and has thrown three
touchdowns and four interceptions.
As a starter, Barmann is 1-2 on the
season.
Meier reinjured his right shoulder
against Baylor when he scrambled
toward the Kansas sideline. After
he was hit, Meier fell onto his right
shoulder, rolled over and lay on the
ground for several minutes before
getting up. Meier was originally
injured late in the Sept. 15 game
at Toledo when he was tackled and
had his right shoulder driven into
the turf.

Schneider can be contacted at

If the Jayhawks are going to reel
off the three victories needed to
become bowl-eligible, they will need
an improved passing game in the
second half as well as a passion for
victory.
Sophomore Dexton Fields could
be the solution for Kansas in both
categories. As Kansas No. 3 wide
receiver, Fields has sure hands and a
knack for making
the big play. But
Fields has added
something more
to the Kansas
offense that cant
be coached.
What he adds
is his heart, sopho-
more receiver Marcus Herford said.
He plays with nothing but heart.
He plays hard every play and does a
great job.
After rotating wide receiving
positions throughout his high school
career, Fields has found his niche as
Kansas inside receiver, a position
that some receivers shy away from
because with it comes the responsi-
bility of frequently crossing the mid-
dle of the field, where hard-hitting
linebackers lurk. Nevertheless, Fields
has become the go-to guy in the red
zone for Jayhawk quarterbacks.
According to Fields, the inside
receiver role suits him best. And
while inside receivers may take more
brutal hits than outside receivers, he
said the Kansas offense rarely put
him in vulnerable situations.
With our schemes and the plays
that we have, its not like were going
to be taking on a lot of head-on hits
going across the middle, Fields said.
If the quarterback is throwing it
to you, its probably because youre
open. You dont need to fear a line-
backer trying to rip your head off.
With Fields ready and willing to
brave the middle of the field, hes
become the main target for his quar-
terbacks when in the red zone. He
leads the team with five touchdown
receptions, and his longest of the
season came from 20 yards out.
Of course, Kansas shouldnt be
surprised by Fields production near
the goal line. His only catch of 2005
was a 15-yard touchdown catch in
the fourth quarter of the Iowa State
game. The ensuing extra point tied
the game, 21-21, before Kansas won
in overtime, clinching a bowl berth.
He has also been the lone bright
spot for Kansas passing attack the
last three games. While Fields has
caught a touchdown pass the past
three weeks against Texas A&M,
Oklahoma State and Baylor, Kansas
has passed for just 64, 97 and 43
yards, respectively, in the second half
of those games.

Jessica Bush said she didnt mind
facing bigger, stronger players
despite her 5-foot-2-inch height.
Considering the hits shes taken
during her career on the soccer
field, its obvious to see why she no
longer worries about taller oppo-
nents.
There was the black eye that
happened during her first college
practice last season.
Jessica Smith turned and hit
me, and I had a black eye for two
weeks, said the sophomore mid-
fielder/forward. People came up
to me and said, Man you were the
one who had that black eye when I
met you.
This year there was the facial. At
Nebraska Bush charged toward one
of the Huskers near midfield and
was given a ball to the face for her
aggressiveness.
I was pressuring the girl and all
of the sudden I was on the ground,
she said. Obviously, I had a pretty
good headache.
The mishaps havent fazed Bush.
Its her opponents who felt the pain
while Bush helped lead Kansas to
four straight victories.
Bushs play during the Jayhawks
streak has been remarkable. Shes
scored at least one goal each game,
set a school record by scoring
the game-winning goal in three
straight games and been named to
the Soccer Buzz National Team of
the Week.
Bushys a bit of a spark plug,
Kansas coach Mark Francis said.
Shes always kinda buzzing around
and making things happen. She has
a knack for doing that.
Bush has been scoring more for
multiple reasons. Francis said it
was partially because she has been
playing more of an attacking role
and being in the right place at the
right time. As for the modest Bush,
she said the play of her teammates
Holly Gault, Monica Dolinsky and
Missy Geha had been the biggest
reason.
A lot of the goals Ive had arent
anything great, she said. Ive just
had good balls by people.
Whether its good passes, perfect

Oklahoma continued its sto-
rybook season last night when it
defeated Kansas during a four-game
match.
Oklahoma (18-4, 10-2 Big 12)
finished last in the conference one
year ago and was placed at 10th in
the preaseason this year, but has
ascended to second place. Kansas
(10-11, 3-9) is currently tied for
seventh.
Last year, they lost so many
close matches, Kansas coach Ray
Bechard said. They went into one
of those cycles where they didnt
think anything good was going to
happen and now, they dont think
theyre going to lose.
The Sooners defeated the
Jayhawks by scores of 30-23, 30-19,
27-30 and 30-25 last night in the
Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Despite the loss, Kansas freshman
middle blocker Brittany Williams
had a career-high 20 kills last night.
I just attribute it to my team,
Williams said. They wanted it bad,
and I wanted it bad.
Bechard said Williams looked
like an All-American at times.
With the loss, however, Kansas
postseason chances became slim.
Bechard said the Jayhawks need-
ed to win at least four more games to
have a shot at the postseason. Kansas
snuck into the postseason last year
with a 7-13 conference record.
Jana Correa, senior outside hitter,
said she wanted to become a part of
Kansas volleyball history by being
the only class to reach the NCAA
tournament all four years.
I just have eight more games
left, she said. Its very important
to me. We need to win.
In game one, Kansas fought a 2-
8 score to tie it at 20-20. Oklahoma
pulled ahead by scoring 10 more
points, while Kansas got only three.
The Sooners were led by senior
outside hitter Joanna Schmitt who
had a game-high five kills.
After the Jayhawks scored the
first point, Oklahoma pulled away
and never trailed again in game
two, cruising to an 11-point vic-
tory. The Sooners committed
zero errors in the game, while the
Jayhawks committed nine.

Lets just say that this entire C.J.
Giles fiasco could have been a lot
worse.
It could have been Julian Wright.
It could have been Brandon Rush.
Instead it was a player who likely
would not have started this season.
Yes, the loss of Giles is going to
have an effect on the Kansas basket-
ball team, but it wont be detrimental
to the Jayhawks title hopes. Kansas
has too much depth and too much
talent this season to allow that to
happen.
Giles started 13 games last season,
but only two of those were confer-
ence games. Giles eventually lost his
starting position to Sasha Kaun, who
was the likely choice to start this
season at center. Now the job is defi-
nitely Kauns.
Except for his performance during
last years spectacular come-from-
behind victory against Oklahoma
where he played his best game defen-
sively, Giles never did anything
exceptional on the floor.
Throughout his first two seasons,
Giles was inconsistent. One game
he was blocking five shots, the next
he was picking up two fouls in the
first five minutes of the game. He
struggled from the free-throw line
and fell in love with his jump shot at
the wrong times.
Giles skipped practice, appar-
ently has academic issues and has
legal troubles for allegedly failing to
pay child support. All of this has led
to his indefinite suspension.
I think I said last week he would
have the opportunity to possibly
straighten some personal issues out,
Self told reporters. There hasnt been
enough time elapsed to know if that
has been done. But there are so many
things, it would be very difficult for
him to do that ever at Kansas.
The decision could come as early
as this week for Giles and then the
distractions will end for the other
Kansas basketball players. They will
no longer have to wonder whether
Giles will be back and can focus
strictly on the season ahead.
Giles loss could force sophomore
forward Julian Wright to continue
his play at the power forward posi-
tion this year. Coach Bill Self said
before the season that Wright would
play more at his natural position,
the small forward. Wright, at least
early on, will be expected to continue
guarding bigger players underneath
the basket, a role he played so well
last year. Wright will probably be able
to play more of the small forward
position this year but will have to
wait until freshman forward Darrell
Arthur develops and understands the
complexities of the college game.
Giles situation is all-too-familiar
in college athletics. Collegiate players
who believe they have the ability to
play in the NBA sometimes also have
the idea that they can do anything
they want. I dont know whether this
was the way Giles was thinking, but
obviously something didnt register.
Last season he played limited min-
utes after failing to attend class for the
first day of the spring semester.
For now, we will wait to see wheth-
er Giles will get it all together before
the season starts. Even if he doesnt,
the Jayhawks will still be the deepest
team in the country.

THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL FILM OF THE YEAR
OPENS IN THEATRES FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27TH!
By Kayvon Sarraf
The University of Kansas mens
soccer club hopes to carry its cur-
rent winning streak into the region-
al tournament next week, when
the team will play for a spot at
nationals.
The team won the Ed Chartrand
Memorial Tournament during
last weekend in Manhattan and is
undefeated in its past seven games.
The Jayhawks outscored oppo-
nents 25-4 on the way to a 9-1-2
record. The team will need to win
the Region IV tournament next
week in Stillwater, Okla., in order
to receive a spot in the National
Intramural-Recreational Sports
Association Collegiate Soccer Sport
Club Championshiops in Tempe,
Ariz.
This is the best team I have ever
been a part of, said Adam Evans,
Kingwood, Texas, senior and four-
year veteran of the team. Were
two-deep at every position and are
really starting to click.
The club defeated Iowa State,
Kansas State and St. Louis in round-
robin play before a championship-
game rematch with Kansas State at
last weekends tournament. With
goalkeeper and former tournament
MVP Mike Kutz, St. Louis senior,
forced to the bench in the second
half with a sprained shoulder, the
Jayhawks had to go to Alex Cohen,
Birmingham, Ala., junior, off the
bench.
Cohen saved all five shots in
the overtime shootout with Kansas
State, in which attackers start with
the ball 35 yards out and have five
seconds to score. The team hoisted
the tournament trophy for the sec-
ond time in three years.
Cohen really came up huge and
made some big time saves, said
Kutz. This game really showed
how deep our team is.
After failing to qualify for nation-
als last year for the first time in five
years, the team is eager to return.
This team couldnt be more
confident right now, said Chris
Obermeier, New Lenox, Ill., junior.
No matter who we put out on the
field, theyre performing. We want
to go back to nationals and do some
damage.
The team started to roll fol-
lowing a 4-0 victory at Southwest
Baptist University. Kutz sparked the
squad with his first career hat trick,
despite the team playing with only
10 men. The Jayhawks have been
cruising with their eyes on the fin-
ish line ever since.

If you were unable to attend last
nights volleyball game between the
Kansas Jayhawks and the No. 20
ranked Oklahoma Sooners, you can
catch all the action today at noon.
Metro Sports will televise the
game on Sunflower Broadband cable
channel 36 in Lawrence. Though the
Jayhawks lost the match in four
games by scores of 23-30, 19-30,
30-27 and 25-30, coach Ray Bechard
said the cameras were not a distrac-
tion.
Freshman middle blocker
Brittany Williams wasnt fazed.
She had a game-high 20 kills.
Williams credited much of her
success to the teams starting set-
ter, freshman Katie Martincich.
Shes good at her job, Williams
said. Ill bet she could set a ball
off the court in the stands and still
put it where it needs to be.
Martincich entered the game
eighth in assists in the Big 12
Conference averaging 11.80 per
game. She contributed 53 assists
and 11 during the match.
Martincich made a diving
attempt at a ball and crashed into
press row. Her effort coincided
with Kansas play during games
three and four, when they played
much better than in games one and
two.
Martincich said the Jayhawks
ability to win the third match
showed the team still had hopes for
an NCAA bid, and would be ready
to play Saturday against Texas Tech.
I think that winning game three
was big for us, Martincich said. It
showed we didnt give up, and we
have a lot to play for on Saturday.

Ninety-five of the second-half
passing yards against Oklahoma
State came after Kansas lost the
lead.
So, with a struggling passing
game and Fields big-play ability, it
would seem that he could help solve
Kansas passing woes. Still, Fields
doesnt get caught up in his num-
bers. Instead, he credits his quar-
terbacks for finding him, and his
fellow receivers for helping him find
openings in opposing defenses.
The outside receivers, they
stretch the field to make the safe-
ties respect the downfield game,
and that opens me up, Fields said.
If it wasnt for them, I wouldnt be
open.
Kansas has four games left on its
schedule, and its postseason hopes
are faint, yet Fields is on the verge
of setting school records. He needs
only three more touchdowns to
set the Kansas record for receiv-
ing touchdowns in a season by a
sophomore. Four more touchdowns
will give Fields the most receiving
touchdowns in a season by any
Jayhawk.
However Fields has a greater
desire to win three or four more
games than catch three or four more
touchdown passes.
I wasnt setting any kind of
expectations, Fields said. I just
wanted to do good, win, and go to a
bowl game. I wasnt trying to catch
the most touchdowns.

timing or blind luck, all that matters
is that Bush picked up her game at a
time when Kansas desperately need-
ed it. Before goals came consistently
from Bush, the Jayhawks couldnt
find the back of the net with a GPS.
They scored only two goals during a
six-game stretch in which they went
2-4 and fell into the middle of the
pack in the Big 12. Bush said the low
point came after the team got swept
by Texas and Texas A&M the week-
end of Oct. 6.
The weekend stunk; it was awful
that we lost to both of them, she
said. But I think a good thing hap-
pened cause we havent lost since.
And what better a stage for Bush
and the Jayhawks to show their
improvement than Columbia, Mo.
Bush, a Blue Springs, Mo., native,
had multiple friends and fam-
ily members watching. She put on a
show that began only seven minutes
into the match.
Freshman forward Monica
Dolinsky attempted a shot that
bounced off a Missouri defender
toward Bushs feet. Bush collected
the rebound and fired the ball off
the post and into the net. Early in the
second half, Bush received another
Dolinsky pass in the left corner and
bent it into the right side of the net
for the first multi-goal game of her
career in the 4-0 victory. The victory
helped ruin Missouris senior day.
That game was just fun in itself,
the rivalry. It was raining and their
senior day, Bush said. I think that
was the turnaround for us.
One statistic illustrates how
important Bush has been through-
out her career: When Bush scores,
the Jayhawks are 10-0 including a
6-0 record this season.
But statistics dont tell enough of
Bushs story. To see the spark that
Bush brings to the Kansas soccer
team, one must observe the way
she never gives up on a ball, always
finds a way to be in the middle of
the action and, most importantly,
the emphasis she places on the win-
ning as a team rather than her own
achievements.
I never really thought about
game-winning goals until people
brought that up this year, Bush said.
At this point in the season, its great
to be like I scored today, but we
need goals to win.

I would be remiss if I wrote a semes-
ter-long fantasy football column
and didnt mention ethics. Anyone
whos been offered Chris Cooley
for Torry Holt knows that there are
certain practices that arent just un-
ethical, theyre practically criminal.
They are as follows:
1) If a fantasy league gets togeth-
er to watch the games on Sunday or
Monday, bringing ones girlfriend is
strictly prohibited. Its not that we
dont like your girlfriend, though
that may be the case. Its that a
girl has no place in a room full
of unshowered, unshaven guys.
Furthermore, its not fair to assume
your buddies are okay with hearing
Wow, Seattles coach has a really
bushy mustache and No. 18 has
really cute legs while trying to
calculate their points. Penalty is
forcing the offender to attend next
years draft wearing a tank top, skirt
and UGG boots.
2) Unethical behavior of any
kind made by the commissioner
will be considered criminal. My
buddy Craig told me about a league
where the commissioner saw that
someone dropped a player he want-
ed, and instead of waiting for the
player to clear waivers, he changed
the waiver wire rules to get the
player on his team in time for the
Sunday games. Penalty is making
the offender wear a Kenny Rogers
jersey for two weeks. The commish
will, however, be encouraged to run
for Congress.
3) Failure to check your lineup
during the season will not be toler-
ated. Its not difficult to take five
minutes to ensure you arent starting
any players on their bye week. If you
have Willie Parker against Oakland
on your bench, and Kevin Jones on
his bye in your starting lineup this
week, theres a problem. You would
be essentially giving your opponent
a free victory. Penalty is your league
having the opportunity to form-
tackle you in the open field.
4) The league message board is
to be used frequently and appropri-
ately. Its a great tool for busting the
chops of fellow league members. A
post ridiculing a league member
for his decision to start Reuben
Droughns against Denvers defense
is perfectly acceptable. Whats really
unacceptable is an expletive-filled
post crying about a two-point loss.
We know that if Alge Crumpler
hadnt dropped that pass in the end
zone against New Orleans in week
three you would have won. Get
over it. Penalty is forfeiture of next
years second round draft pick and
eight hours of anger management
classes.
5) Lopsided trade offers will not
be tolerated. Perhaps the most vio-
lated of all fantasy football laws,
they have been troubling fantasy
football managers for years. Jamal
Lewis and Amani Toomer do not
combine to equal the value of
LaDainian Tomlinson, so stop try-
ing. Another offense is a manager
letting a trade offer sit for a week or
two. This allows the opportunity, in
the case that the player they would
give up gets injured, to accept the
stale trade and ship an injured play-
er to another manager. Penalty is
the forfeiture of trade privileges for
a full calendar year and the offender
will be responsible for all pizza and
beer purchases for the next league
gathering.

athletics Department pulls
in $20M more than last year
The Kansas Athletics Depart-
ment keeps getting richer.
An audit of the athletics depart-
ment was released Wednesday at
the board meeting of directors.
The audit showed that the depart-
ments revenues increased by more
than $20 million to $69,720,638;
however, expenses also went up
by just more than $8 million to
$47,139,664.
Kansas Athletics Director Lew
Perkins, who said he was seeing
the audit report for the frst time,
kept repeating, were healthy,
Wednesday afternoon.
The biggest increase in rev-
enues came from contributions
and grants made to the depart-
ment, making up almost half of the
revenues. This years contributions
and grants totaled $31,899,373, up
from $16,300,747. A major cause of
the increase was donations for the
new football facility.
The audit was done by an in-
dependent frm, and the numbers
represent July 1, 2005, to June 30,
2006.

Down 0-2, Kansas bounced
back in game three. Five serv-
ing aces carried the Jayhawks to
a three-point victory against the
Sooners. Williams was the star with
five kills and two solo blocks.
Kansas could not match
Oklahoma in the final game. Tied
at 23, the Sooners went on a 7-2
run to win the match.
Theyre closing out games like
they did in game four, Bechard
said.
Next, Kansas will take on Texas
Tech (10-11, 3-9) at 7 p.m. Saturday
in the Horejsi Family Athletics
Center.

every year: Can anyone defeat
Colorado?
The Buffaloes have won the event
every time it has been held, and
will be the favorites this weekend.
But the Jayhawks have a nationally
ranked team as well as home-field
advantage.
Kansas coach Stanley Redwine
will look to show off his team as well
as the course.
I believe Rim Rock is one of the
top five courses in the nation for a
cross country event, he said.
The womens 6K meet will be held
at 10 a.m. Friday, and the mens 8K
meet will start at 11 a.m.
Both the Kansas mens and wom-
ens teams won at Rim Rock ear-
lier this season at the Bob Timmons
Invitational. The runners said they
were excited about having the Big 12
Championships in their backyard.
The Jayhawks plan to use to their
knowledge of the course to their
advantage.
The race was a good learning
experience, junior Melissa ORourke
said. We all got to see what the Big
12 Championships is going to be
like.
ORourke ran the best time for
the KU women at the Bob Timmons
Invitational and finished sixth.
Obviously, we know how to
run it, but it is one of the hardest
courses in the Midwest, junior Lisa
Morrisey said.
Fridays race will consist of each
teams best five runners, and the
scores will be compiled into a team
score. The top two teams will advance
to NCAA regionals, accompanied by
other at-large teams selected by a
committee. Last year Kansas fin-
ished third at the event and received
an at-large bid.
The mens team has been ranked
throughout the year and will enter
the meet ranked 19th in the nation
by the U.S. Track and Field Cross
Country Coaches Association.
For the visiting teams, however,
all eyes will be on Rim Rock Farm in
addition to the Jayhawks.
Benson Chesang, the Jayhawks
two-time defending Big 12
Champion who did not compete
in the Bob Timmons Invitational
because of a coachs decision, said he
didnt feel any pressure.
Im not going to shoot myself if I
dont win, he said. Im a sportsman,
but Id still like to, though, he said.
The men have a good chance to
improve their third-place finish at
last years Big 12 Championships,
though the goal, according to
Redwine, is to win.
You have to go in with the idea
that you want to win. Thats our
goal, Redwine said.
The women look to place in the
top half of the conference.
Last year we did pretty well for
what we had, but this year we have a
better team, Morrisey said.

It was 28 degrees at 4:30 Tuesday
morning but Steve Heffernan wasnt
in bed like most of Lawrence. He
was working on Rim Rock Farm,
the KU cross country teams home
course, and the site of both Fridays
Big 12 Conference Cross Country
Championships and this week-
ends Kansas State High School
Championships.
Heffernan spends hours on the
course, often late into the night.
During the past eight weeks, between
his job as property manager on the
farm and as a teacher and cross
country coach for Lawrence Free
State High School, Heffernan has
worked 78 to 85 hours per week.
In addition, for the past two years
Heffernan and his family have lived
on the course in a cabin.
My wife always wondered prior
to moving out here, what do you do
out there? Heffernan said. Then
after moving out here, she said,
Now I understand, because theres
always something you have to take
care of.
Heffernan has helped take care of
Rim Rock for 17 of the past 20 years.
Former cross country coach Bob
Timmons, who built the course on
his farm in the early 1970s, donated
Rim Rock to the University two
years ago. He didnt want to leave the
course to just anybody.
When he left he wanted to
make sure that there was some-
one that would take care of the
farm and do it real well and it
just worked out that that was me,
Heffernan said.
Heffernan was a logical choice
for Timmons, because since
Heffernan has been in Kansas,
Rim Rock has been a big part of
his life.
Heffernan grew up in Nebraska
and started running cross country
his freshman year of high school,
the first year cross country was
offered in the state. After high
school he had an opportunity to
come to Kansas to run cross coun-
try for Timmons.
He spent his first few weeks
in Kansas, in 1986, he spent on
the farm working for Timmons
because Timmons put his cross
country teams to work there. He
helped build the course into what it
is today. Heffernans first memory
from when he arrived in Lawrence
was carrying stones up a hill to
build a staircase on the course.
It was a lot of fun, he said.
And, ironically, over the years its
amazing how many people just like
to come out and work on it. Its not
like a true farm. Its kind of like
taking care of a park.
You think figuring out this
years football team is hard?
Thats basic arithmetic com-
pared to figuring out Benson
Chesang.
Tomorrow at Rim Rock
Farm (see map, 5B), Chesang,
Eldama Ravine, Kenya, senior,
will attempt to win his third-
straight Big 12 Conference Cross
Country title.
It would be a fitting way for a
tremendous runner to finish his
career, and all of it in front of a
home crowd.
But theres a problem. So far
this season he hasnt been the
best runner in the conference.
He hasnt even been the best
runner on his own team.
After his second Big 12 title
last October, he decided to
redshirt during the spring track
season. Since coming back,
his speeding-bullet times have
become much more pedestrian.
This year he was held out of
the first two races, in an attempt
to keep him fresh for the later
part of the season. In his first
race of the year, at the Roy Griak
Invitational in Minneapolis,
Chesang finished 44th.
At his only other meet, the
NCAA Pre-Nationals two weeks
ago, he finished in 30th place
overall, and third among KU
men. So which Benson is com-
ing to Rim Rock tomorrow?
Ill definitely get there by the
end of the year, he said. But I
cant say Im really in that peak
shape right now.
Nobody is denying his talent.
His Big 12 titles and national
tournament appearances speak
for themselves. The only ques-
tion is whether hell be moti-
vated.
My goal is to perform well
at national meets, he said. And
maybe even this Big 12 meet.
This Big 12 meet is one of
the most important things to
happen to the Jayhawks in some
time. By showcasing Rim Rock
Farm well, the school could
qualify to host NCAA tourna-
ments in the future.
In addition, the team will
have possibly its best chance
ever to unseat Colorado, who
has won the Big 12 Cross
Country championship for 10
straight years.
And how did Chesang spend
his redshirt semester?
I ran a little bit, he said.
But I just sat on my butt most
of the time.
On Friday morning well see
which Benson Chesang comes to
Rim Rock Farm. The two-time
Big 12 champion, biochemis-
try major, and one of the best
Jayhawk runners ever. Or the
Benson Chesang that finished
44th and 30th this season, and
wont say whether he is the best
runner on the team.
I think Benson is as tal-
ented as anybody, coach Stanley
Redwine said. The best run-
ner is the one that is going to
show where hes at mentally and
physically.
And if thats not Benson, we
can always get him a football
uniform.

Cross country championship
held at Kansas for frst time
Kansas will act as host for
the Big 12 Championship cross
country meet for the frst time in
Big 12 history.
RimRock Farmis the home
course for the mens and wom-
ens team. It is a well-known
course throughout the nation.
We believe RimRock Farmis
the premier cross country site
in the nation, Athletics Director
LewPerkins said in a press re-
lease. Were looking forward to
showing it of to the rest of the
conference. The experience will
be a highlight of these student-
athletes careers.
The course has a lot of history
to it. Here are some interesting
facts about the course and the
Big 12 Cross Country meet.
RimRock
Kansas hosted the 1998
NCAA Division I and Divison II
National Championships meet at
RimRock.
Kansas hosted the Big Eight
Cross Country Championships in
1983, 1991 and 1995.
RimRock has been the
home course for the Jayhawks
since 1974.
RimRock is the home to
the Kansas State High School
Cross Country meet for larger
classifcations each fall.
The property that the
course is on used to be owned
by former Kansas head cross
country coach BobTimmons.
Timmons donated it to the Uni-
versity of Kansas last spring.
Famous landmarks on the
course include two covered
bridges, a cemetery and silhou-
ettes of past runners.
Big12 Championships meet
Colorado has dominated
the meet since the Big 12s
conception. The men have won
all 10 races, and the women have
won nine of 10.
Benson Chesang is the
two-time defending champion
in the 8K.
Both the top mens and
womens teams will automati-
cally receive a bid to the NCAA
Championship race inTerre
Haute, Ind.
The top 15 fnishers in each
race will be named All-Confer-
ence.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2006
Heffernan and other former
runners have helped build Rim
Rock into one of the better-known
courses in the nation. The NCAA
national championships were run on
the course in 1998. Rim Rock has
also hosted three Big Eight champi-
onships.
Rim Rock came to be when
Timmons bought land northwest of
Lawrence so he could build a get-
away cabin for him and his wife.
When Kansas was having trouble
finding a stable home course for the
cross country team in the 1970s,
Timmons decided to turn his farm
into his teams home course. He pur-
chased 40 more acres than the 40 he
already owned and put his runners
to work. By 1974, the Jayhawks had a
course they could call their own.
Now, other than three years that
Heffernan spent working in Wichita,
he has dedicated his life to the farm.
And despite the long hours, a lot of
which he doesnt get paid for, Heffernan
wouldnt want to be anywhere else.
You think it might be a little nicer
to be in bed and not have to worry
about this stuff, he said. But then you
see some of the sunsets and some of
the other things and its just gorgeous
out here. That just kind of reminds
you in the end its all worth it.

Athletes come in different
shapes and sizes.
Basketball player are obvious
because they are inches or even
feet taller than the average per-
son, and football players are also
bigger.
Cross country runners dont
look much different from an aver-
age size person.
The average height for a cross
country runner is about 59 as
opposed basketball players whose
average height is about 64.
Cross country athletes are dif-
ferent from basketball or football
players.
The top guys on our team run
at least 70 miles a week, sometimes
even 80 and 90, Colby Wissel,
junior runner, said.
Well also do 2,000-meter
repeats, with a few minutes rest
in between.
Wissel has had a break-out sea-
son so far and credits hard work
and training during the offseason
for his success.
He has shed minutes off his
times from last season and was
named Big 12 Conference Runner
of the Week earlier this season.
Wissel isnt the only one cutting
time off his races.
At the Wildcat Invitational ear-
lier this season, all six Jayhawk
women who competed in the
event cut time off of their perfor-
mances from last year.
Alicia McGregor finished third
at the meet with a time of 18:50.2,
cutting 90 seconds from her time.
Lisa Morrisey cut 90 seconds
off her time, and Melissa Moody
had a finish two minutes better
than her performance last year.
Its a matter of maturity and
how they are training, head coach
Stanley Redwine said. Were a
year older and a year stronger.
The men will run an 8K at
the Big 12 Championships this
weekend, which is just less than
five miles.
Wissel ran the 8K earlier in
the season at the Roy Griak
Invitational in Minneapolis,
Minn., with a time of 24:54, run-
ning close to five-minute miles.
The women run the 6K, which
is just less than four miles.
Melissa ORourke finished with
a time of 23:31 at the Roy Griak
Invitational, helping the womens
squad place 23rd out of 31 teams.
Regardless of height, hopefully
the hard work will pay off for the
runners on Friday.

Colorado
The Bufaloes look to sweep the mens and womens divisions for an eighth-straight year Friday. The mens team
could also win a national title this year after taking frst in Pre-Nationals earlier this month. Stephen Pifer, Billy Nel-
son, Brent Vaughn and James Strang are All-Americans on the mens side along with Liza Pascuito on the womens
side. Colorado has yet to lose a mens Big 12 title; the women are 9 for 10.
Kansas
The mens team has experience, led by senior Benson Chesang, who is going for his third-consecutive Big 12
championship. The men are also coming of a very impressive performance at the Pre-National race in Terre Haute,
Ind. Juniors Colby Wissel and Paul Heferon are having standout seasons as the mens team is ranked 19th in the
nation. The womens team is young but has some experience to bring to the table. Juniors Lisa Morrisey, Alicia
McGregor and Melissa ORourke are competing well and cutting down their times.
Texas
Texas will likely have several runners named to the All-Conference team after the race, but
the Longhorns will need solid team production to compete with Colorado and Kansas. During
the frst three meets of the teams season, the Longhorns had three top-10 fnishes. All-American Joe
Thorne will lead the charge and look to unseat Benson Chesang of Kansas as the individual champion.
Oklahoma State
An injured Oklahoma State team will look to its bench to maintain its ranking Friday. The Cowboys
are currently ranked No. 22 in the country, and fnished eighth at Pre-Nationals. The Cowboys will be
without senior Ryan Ripley and sophomore Ryan Vail due to injuries, and senior Joe Gray and junior
David Jankowski will run despite injuries. After an 18th-place fnish in Terre Haute, the 15th-ranked
Cowgirls look to challenge the rest of the conference behind senior Mary Davies, who placed 25th at
Pre-Nationals.
Iowa State
The Cyclones are a long shot to win the Big 12 title, but sophomore Kiel Uhl
leads a talented mens team that will battle for second place. The womens
team isnt as strong overall but sophomore Lisa Koll could compete for the indi-
vidual title after running a 20:29 in the 6K at a meet hosted by Arkansas earlier
this month. Last years winning time at the Big 12 Championship was only fve
seconds faster.
Missouri
The Tigers placed 17th in the mens division and 23rd in the womens in the Pre-
National race in Terre Haute, Ind. Both squads were led by their seniors: Tim Ross, who placed 50th overall in the 8K
for the men and Amanda Bales who placed 25th overall in the 6K for the women.
Texas Tech
The Red Raiders will bring the most lopsided team to Lawrence of any of the schools. The women are ranked
21st in the country and are the most credible threat to end the Colorado reign of dominance. The men will likely
fnish at the bottom of the pack. Their highest-ever Big 12 fnish was in 2005, when they fnished 10th.
Texas A&M
Another middle-tier school in conference competition, the Aggies fnished
24th in both the mens and womens divisions at the Pre-Nationals meet. They could
be underrated, as Brian McKinstry was the teams top runner, but he fell down early
in the race. The womens side is led by Merideth Snow, but drops of in quality from
there, with most of the A&M competitors at Pre-Nationals failing to break the top 150.

Nebraska
Nebraska fared well so far this season in smaller meets but
struggled against tougher competition. Nebraska is a middle of the
road team in the Big 12 and probably wont be a threat to place high
on either side. Sophomore Ari Goldstein leads the womens team and
sophomore Brian Parr paces the men.
Baylor
The Bears have had an unfortunate year. The womens team lost senior Brittany Brockman to
injury and sophomore Erin Bedell to illness. Despite adversity, the Baylor women are ranked 30th
in the nation. For the men, senior Bo Price recently made his return from a car accident and led
the team in his frst race back.
Oklahoma
Oklahoma has traditionally struggled at this event, and this year will likely be no
exception. The womens team has just fve active members, so any injury would cripple
the team. Meanwhile, the men have never fnished higher than ninth at the event. Earlier
this year, the mens team placed sixth in the Penn State Invitational, and junior Jason
Coleman received conference runner of the week honors after his 16th place fnish.
Junior Jessica Eldridges 12th place fnish at Pre-Nationals led the Sooners to a 21st place fnish at the meet.
Kansas State
Last season the men fnished in eighth, while the women fnished in tenth. Things arent looking up this year,
as the mens team is comprised solely of sophomores and freshmen. The women Wildcats are young as well with
sophomore Liliani Mendez leading the team. The teams are coming of the Chile Pepper Invitational, where the
mens team placed 24th and the womens team placed 23rd out of 43 teams.

Greys Isaiah Washington
apologizes for comment
NEW YORK Greys Anatomy
star Isaiah Washington has publicly
apologized for his behavior dur-
ing an on-set scuf e with co-star
Patrick Dempsey.
I sincerely regret my actions
and the unfortunate use of words
during the recent incident on (the)
set, the 43-year-old actor said in
a statement to People magazine.
The magazine, citing a source
on the set, reported Wednes-
day on its Web site that when
T.R. Knight was late to flm a
scene, a debate ensued between
Dempsey and Washington, with
Dempsey insisting on waiting
for Knight. The argument quickly
intensifed, and an alleged
homophobic slur was used, but
Knight wasnt present.
The clash occurred Oct. 9.
Knight, 33, revealed Oct. 19 that
he is gay.
I guess there have been a few
questions about my sexuality,
and Id like to quiet any unnec-
essary rumors that may be out
there, Knight said in a statement.
I hope the fact that Im gay isnt
the most interesting part of me.

Actress Anna Nicole Smith
faces residency troubles
NASSAU, Bahamas An opposi-
tion leader called on the govern-
ment Wednesday to investigate
whether Anna Nicole Smith has le-
gal residency status in the Bahamas,
where her baby daughter was born
and her son died three days later.
Hubert Ingraham, head of the
main opposition Free National
Movement, said he has learned that
another person owns the water-
front mansion that Smith claimed
was hers in an application for
permanent residency.
Clearly, Anna Nicole Smith is not
a ft and proper person to become
a permanent resident of the Baha-
mas, said Ingraham, a former prime
minister. Her general character and
reputation dont commend her for
such status.
I expect the government of the
Bahamas to make a determination
in accordance with the law,he told
The Associated Press in a phone
interview.
Earlier this month, an attorney
for Smith said concerns about her
conduct contributed to his with-
drawal as her counsel.
Michael Scott cited Smiths deci-
sion to exchange vows with her
boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and sell
photographs of the informal cer-
emony to People magazine before
burying her 20-year-old son. Daniel
Smith died on Oct. 19 while visiting
Smith in a Nassau hospital after the
birth of her daughter.

ST. LOUIS World Series tele-
vision ratings are as meager as the
Detroit Tigers offense.
The St. Louis Cardinals 5-0 vic-
tory Tuesday night was the lowest-
rated Game 3 in Series history, and
the three-game average also was the
lowest ever.
Game 3 drew a 10.2 fast nation-
al rating and 17 share, Fox said
Wednesday, down 7 percent from
the 11.0 rating last year for the 7-
5, 14-inning win by the Chicago
White Sox over the Houston Astros.
The previous record low for Game 3
was the 10.8 rating for the Anaheim
Angels 10-4 win over the San
Francisco Giants in 2002.
The three-game average of 9.9/17
was down 7 percent from the previ-
ous low of 10.6/19, set last year.
Were going for a World Series
title. Im not worried about the
TV ratings, Detroit pitcher Justin
Verlander said.
In St. Louis, the game got a
51.9 rating
and 66 share,
and in Detroit
it received a
37.1 rating and
52 share. Fox
spokesman Lou
DErmilio said
that because
smaller markets
are involved in the World Series this
year, about 1 million fewer homes
from the local teams are tuned in.
Asked about lower postseason
ratings last week, baseball commis-
sioner Bud Selig said he didnt want
to leap to conclusions.
Im not
overly con-
cerned, he said.
The teams
television rat-
ings all year
have been spec-
tacular. Lets
wait until the
World Series is
over.
He cited baseballs new seven-
year deals with Fox and Turner
Sports, which will bring the sport
a total of about $3 billion from
2007-2013.
Weve now renewed all our con-
tracts for seven years and had lots of
competition, Selig said, so appar-
ently the people in the television
business like what theyre seeing.
The national rating is the per-
centage of U.S. television house-
holds tuned to a program, and each
point represents 1,114,000 homes.
The share is the percentage of
households watching a broadcast
among those homes with televisions
in use at the time.

Rush, Wright selected to
preseason watch list
Preseason candidates for
the 2006-07 John R. Wooden
Award All-American Team were
announced Wednesday and
sophomores Brandon Rush,
guard, and Julian Wright, for-
ward, made the list.
The last time Kansas had
two players make the pre-
season top 50 list was 2004-05.
Keith Langford and Wayne
Simien were on the list that
year and Simien was named a
Wooden All-American at the
end of the season.
This honor only adds to the
preseason accolades Rush and
Wright have received. Both
were voted preseason Big 12
Co-Players of the Year and
were named to the preseason
All-Big 12 First Team.
Texas A&M also had two
players make the list in guard
Acie Law and forward/center
Joseph Jones. Oklahoma State
guard Jameson Curry, Texas
Tech guard Jarrius Jackson and
Colorado guard Richard Roby
also made the list.
